Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 227: The Origins of the Five Great Families and the Seven Hidden Clans (5)

The desire I had just suppressed was instantly provoked by those words, and as I looked into those clear and bright eyes, my dark pupils filled with frenzy in an instant.

Seeing this, Feng Xuxu wanted to push him away, but when her hands landed on his strong chest, feeling the steady heartbeat against her palms, she felt her own heart race, her small chest beginning to rise and fall irregularly, her breath uneven as she stared at Dugu Chen before her.

Dugu Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he bent down to launch a fierce attack, his chapped lips crashing against the lips of the little woman in his arms, causing her to frown and let out a pained whimper.

Dugu Chen paused in his movements, his eyes deeply fixed on the stunningly beautiful girl in his arms. Indeed, the next moment he softened his kissing, gently pecking the beauty’s lips as he teasingly watched the little woman in his arms. Feng Xuxu slowly opened her eyes, her gaze brimming like water, her cheeks a pure red, rendering Dugu Chen unable to stop himself.

The room was filled with amorously romantic atmosphere.

Xiaobai, in the same space, suddenly found itself contemplating whether to hide or to hide, witnessing the plight of Xiaojin caught between the two.

Xiaojin watched the pair with a desire to weep, its eyes already red enough—if it kept watching, who knew what it would become? Shaking its head, it quickly covered its eyes with its tail, becoming an invisible pet.

It was unknown how much time had passed before the two finally separated. After exchanging another glance, Feng Xuxu touched her face and turned away, feeling as if it were burning with fire.

"Xuxu..." Just as Dugu Chen was about to secure Feng Xuxu from behind, the doors of the study were suddenly battered with urgent knocks, interrupting the two.

Feng Xuxu frowned, wondering who could be seeking her out so urgently so late at night.

Without regard for Dugu Chen in the room, a stern voice commanded, "Come in."

To everyone’s surprise, the one knocking at the door wasn’t anyone else but Zongzheng Zehang, who had left only to return later that afternoon.

"Family Head Zongzheng?" Jueqing helplessly shrugged his shoulders at the side, also clueless as to why Zongzheng Zehang would barge into their residence late at night. He’d only asked for the location of the Holy Maiden’s courtyard and ended up intruding here by mistake.

"Holy Maiden, please beg your sister to spare my sister’s life!" His eyes were bloodshot with emotion as he extended his hands to grasp Feng Xuxu’s arms, only to be interrupted by Dugu Chen emerging from behind. Dugu Chen promptly pulled Feng Xuxu into his arms and glared unpleasantly at Zongzheng Zehang, "What has the life or death of your sister got to do with my consort? If you want to save a life, go find a doctor."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Zongzheng Zehang’s anger flared instantly, clenching his fist to throw a punch at the future Charm King. Dugu Chen, holding Feng Xuxu, dodged the furious blow with a quick sidestep, moving outside the courtyard.

Setting the little woman in his arms down in a safe place, Dugu Chen got up and stepped forward, beginning to tangle with Zongzheng Zehang.

Feng Xuxu watched the two men with some speechlessness; she recalled that Tinglan had been fine when she left, so how had her life become in danger in the blink of an eye? Seeing the two entangled in the air, she stepped towards the storeroom to search for some life-saving medicinal herbs.

Just as she was leaving, Mei Lenglei followed, to which Feng Xuxu frowned and said, "You stay here and watch them, don’t let the Charm King kill him."

"Yes, Miss," Mei Lenglei said, though puzzled, he still obeyed his mistress and returned to the center of the courtyard to closely monitor the two in the space.

Arriving at the storeroom and seeing no one around, she flashed into the space and approached the medicinal mountain, searching for some holy antidotes. After searching for a long time, she finally gathered a few items.

"Sister Feng, are you going to save Zongzheng Tinglan?" Xiaobai asked anxiously.
