Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law-Chapter 1162: Don’t Let Benefits Flow to Outsiders

"What...?"

The Demoness abruptly stopped in her tracks, looking at Jiang Feng in surprise.

"It's nothing!—I mean, I'm fine, just a bit tired."

Jiang Feng forced an excuse for his "loss of composure" and even yawned to cover it up.

"Oh, alright, I guess I really shouldn't disturb your rest. I'll just say a couple more things and leave."

The Demoness sensibly halted where she was, not stepping forward, and apologetically said, "First, I want to thank you. Although I don't know what those things you've been brewing for us are, or what kind of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures those meats are, I'm certain they are extraordinary. You always think of us when you have good things and have helped us improve so much, I'm afraid none of us can ever repay you..."

"Ahem, there's no need to say such polite words with me. The fertile water doesn't flow... to others' fields!"

Jiang Feng felt his scalp tingling and almost lost his ability to speak coherently, subconsciously replying.

But the Demoness was dumbfounded at his words, fertile water??!

She didn't understand what Jiang Feng meant. Did he consider her and the others his fertile water?!

This highly suggestive remark instantly set the Demoness's imagination wild.

Yet strangely, facing Jiang Feng's unintentional dominance and assertion of ownership, she felt not much resistance but rather an unusual happiness and warmth.

"Hehe, alright, there's one more thing—Xiao Feng, I want to ask, how do you feel about Wan'er in your heart?"

The Demoness suddenly asked with a smile, her eyes serious as she stared at Jiang Feng.

"What?!"

Jiang Feng's eyes widened, thinking the Demoness intended to continue the previous topic, never expecting her to suddenly bring up Shangguan Wan'er!

And Shangguan Wan'er was equally surprised that her mother would mention her, her heartbeat quickening with tension. Could it be her mother had noticed something?

However, such worries seemed unnecessary, as the Demoness had no intention of looking under the table nor suspecting any secrets. She simply asked pointedly.

Shangguan Wan'er held her breath for a moment, ensuring she wasn't discovered, and finally exhaled quietly.

She was more eager than her mother to know the answer, so she couldn't help but peek out...

"Why ask such a question?" Jiang Feng had to cross his legs again, clamping Shangguan Wan'er's head tighter, asking in puzzlement.

"Hehe, Xiao Feng, even if I don't say it, you know that girl Wan'er likes you. This has long ceased to be a secret within our alliance, hasn't it?"

The Demoness smiled and said, "Previously constrained by alliance rules, Youlan even stopped her, but now it's different. We've all pledged allegiance to you, and those old constraints are just nominal now. As her mother, I simply want to ask you, what's your real thought about Wan'er? Do you have even a slight... affection?"

"Ahem!" Jiang Feng's headache began again!

The Demoness's question was too direct!

Moreover, how could he answer? The girl was right beneath him!

Shangguan Wan'er, at this moment, was even more shy.

She felt the Demoness was really meddling unnecessarily; she and Jiang Feng were perfectly fine, and they'd been secretly involved for a while, so why did she need to ask?!

On the flip side, she knew her mother meant well and wanted to hear how Jiang Feng would respond!

In front of her mother, he should at least express a clear stance, right?

The only discomfort was that she was having difficulty breathing now, and Jiang Feng made her feel even worse!

To the extent that she puffed her cheeks in frustration, not in the mood to care about much else. Securing her breathing was crucial.

In the narrow space, her nose wasn't enough, so she decided to open her little mouth wide, desperately helping herself to breathe in air, but she didn't expect that just as her cherry lips parted, it seemed to heighten a certain sensation.

Jiang Feng suddenly felt his hair stand on end!

He felt as if he'd been pricked, not expecting the girl to be so "improper"!

In front of her mother, was she intentionally trying to embarrass him?!

Even more absurd, there was a strange, sneaky thrill, making Jiang Feng feel even more on edge!

"It's okay, Xiao Feng, it's just the two of us here now. Whatever you're thinking, just say it! I just want to hear your true thoughts. I know your character, you're an upright man, with excellent conditions in all aspects, and it's natural for Wan'er to like you. But what's your view on this?"

The Demoness, still unaware of the situation, looked at Jiang Feng with watery eyes.

She was determined to clarify this problem because she had no choice.

With continued contact with Jiang Feng, she found herself sinking deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself!

And the conversation between mother and daughter in the woods made her deeply guilty, feeling she was competing with her daughter for the affection of her own heart, which was inappropriate.

Most crucially, her age and seniority were both greater than Jiang Feng's, giving it a sense of taboo and immorality, making her subconsciously feel more ashamed, continuously engaging in complex ideological struggles.

If tonight, she could hear from Jiang Feng his true thoughts about her daughter—either he liked her daughter or had something with her—then the Demoness, despite the sadness, could only let go and fulfill the two of them.

On the other hand, if Jiang Feng didn't have any special feelings for her daughter, then even if it meant defying the world, she was willing to abandon all worldly prejudices, dedicating her future to Jiang Feng!

Yet, how could Jiang Feng grasp the Demoness's deeper implications right now?

All he could think about was how to extricate himself from the current awkward predicament!

Under the table, Shangguan Wan'er heard her mother's evaluation of Jiang Feng and was left speechless.

This bad guy, upright gentleman?

He's the epitome of a faux gentleman, truly repressed!

Especially now, if she still couldn't figure out what it was near her mouth, she'd be too naive!

She never imagined she could so quickly be beneath Jiang Feng doing such things.

Right now, her heart was filled with a girl's unique shyness, with no place to escape.

Jiang Feng really felt like he was sitting on a needle this time, unable to endure any longer!

He knew Shangguan Wan'er wasn't doing it on purpose, but wasn't this situation too torturous?

"Demoness, I feel like maybe you shouldn't be asking this question right now. I'm not even sure myself; I used to only see her as a friend, but now—"

Jiang Feng tried to calm his tone.

"Now?" The Demoness was unwilling to relent and pressed for more.

"Now—"

Jiang Feng was sweating through his back. He had no doubt that if he uttered a single "no" in such a situation, the embarrassed girl would certainly be infuriated, resulting in more severe "punishment" for him!
