Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 779 - 646: Through Heaven and Huangquan, He Will Find Her
Seeing Ye Lingyue’s face wrinkled into a little steamed bun, Feng Xun couldn’t help but put down the grape in his hand and extended two fingers to rub the space between her eyebrows, trying to erase her "Sichuan" shaped frown.
Ye Lingyue felt as if a feather was teasing her between the eyebrows, tickling her, and she subconsciously dodged Feng Xun’s hand.
"I just remembered, if you become the Crown Prince, I will be the future Empress of Beiqing. Moreover, I’ve given up the chance to become the Empress twice. In this world, there probably isn’t a woman dumber than me."
Feng Xun’s hand froze, and a dangerous glint flickered in his eyes.
"So you’re saying, you regret not marrying Xiahou Qi back then?"
Ye Lingyue sniffed the sour note in the man’s words.
"Regret..." Ye Lingyue hadn’t finished speaking when the man leaned over, pinning her underneath him. The rest of her words were swallowed by Feng Xun before they could leave her mouth.
His mouth still held the taste of grapes from earlier, his tongue was soft and smooth, gently licking over her, a kiss both skillful and aggressive. Ye Lingyue almost suffocated.
She sneaked a peek at Feng Xun and discovered that the scoundrel wasn’t closing his eyes while kissing her. Instead, he was using those beautiful, overly brilliant eyes to stare at her, with dangerously flickering sparks within them.
It wasn’t until Ye Lingyue’s face turned somewhat pale due to her rapid breathing, showing signs of pleading, that Feng Xun lazily propped himself up. Both their lips were left with ambiguous traces.
"Feng Xun, apart from Xue Pianran, have you really never been with another woman?" Ye Lingyue struggled to move her gaze away from Feng Xun’s bewitchingly handsome face.
Compared to Feng Xun’s skills that improved with every encounter, Ye Lingyue could only be considered an unripe little fruit.
Ye Lingyue knew that Feng Xun, managing such a large business of Feng Residence, must have visited particular places privately. Could it be that he learned from those women of the night, just like any other man?
Thinking this, Ye Lingyue felt the jealousy fermenting.
"Does it count if I read about it in books, or thought about it in my head?" Feng Xun heard the tone in Ye Lingyue’s voice, his phoenix eyes lifted slightly, smiling somewhat wickedly.
"Thought about? Who do you dare to think about?" Ye Lingyue’s eyes widened in shock.
"Of course, I thought about you. This album was given to me by Yan Jiu when I was sixteen, he said it had everything, like a dragon." Feng Xun said with a smile, taking out an album.
Ye Lingyue took it and her face grew redder as she flipped through it. Damn that Yan Jiu, he actually gave Feng Xun erotic palace drawings.
And a complete set at that, no wonder her lamb-like Feng Xun has recently turned into a big bad wolf.
Ye Lingyue, puffed up with anger, decided that next time she met Lan Cai’er, she would definitely complain and punish Yan Jiu, that unscrupulous brother-in-law.
But then another thought occurred to her.
Feng Xun said he had thought about it all, which meant... he actually fantasized!
Ye Lingyue hurriedly threw the drawings far away, her heart pounding like a drum, not daring to look Feng Xun in the eye.
Feng Xun, reclining to the side, appeared for all the world like a predator ready to pounce on its prey.
And she was nothing but the lamb under the beast’s watchful eye, subject to its whims, to be nibbled upon whenever the mood struck.
Had she known, she would have shared a carriage with Long Baobao, Little Zhiyo, and Little Wuya.
Ye Lingyue could feel that since returning from the Dragon Roaming Land, Feng Xun had undergone significant changes. It was unclear if it was due to merging with the Ancient Dragon Blood, or something else, but a terrifying aura akin to dragon’s might was subtly emanating from him.
Had Ye Lingyue not secretly taken his pulse and discovered that he had no Primordial Power within him, she might have suspected that Feng Xun, like her in the past, had undergone a Soul Separation.
When she and Feng Xun had departed from Emperor City, those two incompetent sons of the Beiqing Empress had come to bid them a pretentious farewell.
Standing beside Feng Xun, their presence seemed sorely lacking by comparison.
Annoyed, Ye Lingyue caught Feng Xun’s teasing mood as he said with a mocking tone, "If you regret it and want to snatch the title of Empress, I can burst into a jealous rage for my beloved, stage a coup, and dispose of my two useless cousins."
"Then I would become a scourge, and that’s a crime I cannot bear. The best plan is to flee." Ye Lingyue feigned a move to jump out of the carriage. She couldn’t understand when the always bashful and considerate Feng Xun had grown so crooked.
But Feng Xun’s movements were swifter than hers; with one grab, he accurately secured her in his embrace.
"Beiqing will soon decline. The Heavenly Venerate has long predicted the fate of the nation; that’s why my parents left Beiqing," Feng Xun spoke, startling Ye Lingyue, but it seemed to make sense.
The Beiqing Empress, despite her grave mistakes due to affection, was an astute monarch.
"My mother, who has stayed in Tongtian Pavilion all these years, has long become indifferent to power and position. She can forgive all that the Empress has done to her, but she can’t forget. Helping the descendants of the Empress is out of the question for her. Everything has its end, and the rise and fall of nations follow the same rule. The two princes of the Beiqing Empress are both greedy men, constantly at loggerheads, fighting over power like water and fire," Feng Xun said indifferently. That’s why he had been gradually moving the Feng Residence’s foundations out of Beiqing.
The Qing Province Continent is vast, and there are many countries where the Feng Residence could establish itself.
"Power is indeed a terrifying thing. If the Empress Qingshuang and Princess Qingfeng were born into a normal family, they would likely still be loving sisters," Ye Lingyue remarked wistfully. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"So, you still dream of becoming an Empress? If I became the Emperor of Beiqing, I would be forced to marry many women. By then, out of jealousy, you might turn into another Beiqing Empress," Feng Xun teased.
"I wouldn’t dare. If it comes to it, I’ll just dust off my bottom and leave," Ye Lingyue pouted, not willing to let hatred blind her.
"You dare! Ye Lingyue, in this lifetime, don’t even think about slipping away from me," Feng Xun frowned and forcefully embraced her.
It was after the fact when he learned of Ye Lingyue’s Soul Separation; even though he knew she would turn the peril into safety, Feng Xun admitted that just the thought of her soul fading away filled him with dread, making him realize how deeply he had fallen for this little woman.
"Promise me, Ling Yue, whatever happens in the future, you must trust me and not leave. Otherwise, even if I must go through the highest heavens and the depths of Huangquan, I will not let you go," Feng Xun murmured in her ear, his voice becoming passionate, gently nibbling her earlobe, causing Ye Lingyue to shiver uncontrollably.
When she tried to push him away, her body was soft and weak, unable to exert any strength.
A pause flashed through her mind, and a similar, deep and magnetic voice echoed,
"Ye Lingyue, promise me, no matter what, do not leave me. Otherwise, even if I must go through the highest heavens and the depths of Huangquan, I will find you."
