“Oh? I was ugly back then? I was no match for Fu Qingjiu?” Feng Ruqing smoothed her hair back behind her ear as she asked nonchalantly.
The azure snake trembled and then, broke into a bright smile.
“That is impossible! Absolutely impossible! Even if Your Highness is overweight, you are exquisitely shaped. You still looked stunning! How could Fu Qingjiu compare herself against you? You have always looked gorgeous—now and in the past. My master truly has a discerning eye.”
“Oh, so you are still saying that… Nan Xian judges people solely by their appearance.”
The azure snake was dumbstruck by Feng Ruqing’s words.
“I will tell Nan Xian honestly later.” Feng Ruqing’s gaze swept past the azure snake, picked it up by its tail, and walked out the door.
“Let’s go, now that we know where Nan Xian is, things are so much easier!”
When Feng Ruqing knew that Nan Xian was still safe and sound, it was a load off of her mind. She felt so refreshed that even the air outside the chamber was far fresher than it was before.
At the side hall next to Qingjiu’s chamber, two servants guarded the door. Seeing Feng Ruqing approaching, they walked forward and stopped her.
“Stop! Princess Qingjiu said that no one is allowed to step into this place.”
Feng Ruqing lifted her arm, a loud bang sounded and a powerful force emanated from her sleeve. The two servants fell to the ground silently, blood could be seen oozing out of their body, staining the ground red.
“Fu Chen and Qing Han, both of you guard the door. Whoever dares to break in, kill them! Also, kill those who come after me.” Feng Ruqing was still calm and nonchalant. However, the storm brewing under her skin was glaringly obvious.
“Xiao Qing, the spirit beasts will reach here soon. You meet them outside the city. I’m afraid that they may not be able to find this place.”
As soon as Feng Ruqing was finished talking, two rays of light shot out of her chest before turning into a boy and a girl, standing before her.
Feng Ruqing pushed open the door and walked into the chamber.
Apparently, it was a lady’s chamber—snowy white, clean, and untainted.
The veil floated up as a light breeze swept through, revealing a familiar figure lying on the bed.
There was a picturesque and otherworldly man lying quietly on the bed. The golden sunlight poured over, shrouded his stunning face with warm glistening rays of sunshine
Feng Ruqing walked over slowly and held onto the man’s hand lightly.
The man’s palm was scorching hot, she could feel the burning sensation in her hand. Nonetheless, she did not loosen her hand. Instead, she tightened her grip on his hand.
“Nan Xian, I am here for you…
“You have always been standing before me and protect me no matter what happened in the past.
“This time, I am here to take you home.”
Feng Ruqing’s lips curved into a faint smile. Her flamboyant demeanor was gone and a peaceful expression settled on her face.
The young lady leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss onto the man’s lips. His lips were as scorching hot as his body.
“Mother! What are you doing?” Fu Chen pushed open the door and rushed into the chamber anxiously.
Because of the medium, Fu Chen was extremely close to Feng Ruqing, their relationship was even stronger than the relationship between Feng Ruqing and spirit beasts. He could feel the pain that Feng Ruqing was suffering now.
“Get out!” Feng Ruqing said nonchalantly as if she had not felt the pain.
“Mother!”
“Get out.”
Stunned, Fu Chen stared at the young lady before him and bit his lower lip.
“Qing Han and I have killed all the people Fu Qingjiu had tasked to shadow you. Also, don’t hurt yourself… just to save Father… ”
