Chapter 136: Pervert!
Countless gazes swept over.
Seeing Sang Luo unmoving, Si Ye assumed she hadn't heard and reminded her, "Luo Luo, the Emperor is calling you."
Sang Luo felt like she was sitting on pins and needles and had no choice but to raise her head.
Gasps of admiration arose all around,
"The young Marquis is truly blessed to have such a beautiful and enchanting partner."
"I wonder which noble lady this is? Why have I never seen her before?"
Upon clearly seeing Sang Luo's face, Fei Yuan's pupils trembled slightly. His deep, sharp black eyes stared intently at her, a hint of crimson flashing within. After a moment, he straightened his posture slightly, a cryptic smile curving his lips,
"This noble lady, to this King, seems somewhat familiar."
"Luo Luo is a merchant from the Northern Continent, having arrived in the Eastern Continent less than a month ago. Your Majesty shouldn't have met her before." This was the identity and background Sang Luo had previously told Si Ye.
Si Ye had also secretly investigated, and she indeed had no prior traces or experiences in the Eastern Continent. It could only be that she was a female from another continent. Moreover, the Northern Continent had many precious resources that the Eastern Continent needed, and the two continents often traded, which made perfect sense.
Si Ye saluted Fei Yuan and said, "I hope Your Majesty can help take care of Luo Luo for these few days. I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."
"Since my little nephew has spoken, I accept your favor." Fei Yuan's words were directed at Si Ye, but his gaze swept over to Sang Luo, containing a hint of teasing.
Sang Luo was frightened by Fei Yuan's strange and unpredictable smile.
After returning to her seat, Sang Luo lightly tugged at Si Ye's sleeve, lowering her voice to whisper, "A'Ye, your uncle doesn't seem like a benevolent person. I feel a little apprehensive when I look at him!"
Si Ye also wanted to personally take care of her, but he was helpless. "Yesterday, my mother sent a message saying that after the western Southern Frontier suffered repeated defeats, they openly colluded with the Demon Clan and counterattacked the Northern Frontier. The two sides are like fire and water, fighting fiercely. The strength of the demonic beasts is even greater than that of beastmen of the same rank. I'm afraid my mother won't be able to hold on for too long. My Phoenix True Fire has a strong killing power against demonic beasts, so I'm going to support the Northern Frontier."
Si Ye was quite confident in his strength. His slender, dry palm completely enveloped her delicate hand, and he whispered, "I will be back in five days at most. I won't keep you waiting for long."
He noticed Sang Luo's awkwardness and thought for a moment before saying, "You don't like my uncle?"
In the noisy and lively banquet, their conversation was drowned out, but Fei Yuan, not far away, seemed to glance in their direction.
Sang Luo lowered her head and said timidly, "A little scared."
It wasn't a matter of liking or disliking, but a matter of life and death! He had wanted to kill her back then!
"I'm just entrusting my uncle to take care of your safety, fearing that people from the Demon Clan and Si Chang might sneak in, and asking him to help deal with them. But it seems that those people's forces haven't infiltrated the Central Region yet. You shouldn't have the opportunity to talk to him, so don't take it to heart."
Sang Luo nodded, thinking that these two were, after all, blood-related uncle and nephew. She was Si Ye's partner, and her belly might even be carrying offspring with their Phoenix Clan bloodline. Even if Fei Yuan resented her, he wouldn't kill her.
If her life wasn't in danger, then she wouldn't worry.
The spiritual wine and delicacies at the banquet tasted good, and Sang Luo ate a lot.
It was already midnight when she returned to the Marquis's residence.
Si Ye gave her some more food and left quietly into the night after serving her to sleep.
Seven days passed in a row.
Si Ye still hadn't returned.
The soul imprint was fine, and with his strength, Sang Luo wasn't too worried. The beast crystals he left behind before leaving were enough to eat for half a month.
The residence was full of old beast servants who were very attentive. Sang Luo spent her days eating, sleeping, and sleeping, living leisurely.
Until one day, Sang Luo woke up and found that the furnishings in the room had changed.
She was lying on a gorgeous sandalwood bed, covered with snow-white silk bedding. Layers of red curtains hung down, partially obscuring the view, creating a beautiful and enchanting scene. The wind stirred outside the carved windows.
Through the thin red gauze, she could vaguely see that she was in a palace. The beams were made of sandalwood, the walls were made of jade, and the floor was paved with white stone. The decorations and furnishings on the table were meticulously carved, luxurious and magnificent.
This... this isn't the Marquis's residence, is it?
Sang Luo thought she was dreaming. She tugged at her arm and found that her hands were tied to the head of the bed with red silk ribbons. Her eyes widened, her face full of absurdity.
Which pervert tied her up!
"Little thing, you've really made me search for you." His voice was low and mellow, like enchanting music.
Before the bed, a looming tall figure appeared, a slender, pale hand lifting the red silk curtain.
Fei Yuan looked at Sang Luo with a smile, the corners of his lips curving into a cold arc.
Since that night, he had searched the entire Central Region but couldn't find any trace of her. He didn't expect that she had become his little nephew's partner and had been personally delivered to him. It was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road!
"What do you want to do? Take revenge on me? Or do you want to... kill me to vent your anger?" Sang Luo bit her lip, staring intently into his eyes, her breathing heavy.
As expected of the beast emperor who commands the Central Plains, Fei Yuan's captivatingly handsome face was flawless, without the slightest blemish. Due to chronic poisoning, his complexion was paler and thinner than ordinary people, his thin lips were as red as blood, and his narrow black pupils were demonically beautiful and enchanting. When viewed up close, they were even more captivating and alluring, as if they could absorb people's souls.
An exquisite demon.
Fei Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, a large hand pinching her fair face, drawing closer to him.
His gaze swept over her, full of interest. "Kill you? No, I can't bear to."
"Besides, my little nephew seems to like you quite a bit. If you die on my territory, I'm afraid he'll fight me to the death."
"..." Since he wasn't here to settle scores, then what was this— Sang Luo moved her bound hands. It was a kind of refined magic tool that she couldn't break free from. Her face flushed red. "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I promised to take care of you, so naturally, I'll tie you to my side for greater safety." Fei Yuan said matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's also a small punishment for you. Who gave you the courage to trespass into my palace's inner courtyard that night? And how did you come and go silently? Why were my restrictions useless to you?"
"Let me see, what secrets are you hiding?"
Fei Yuan's fingertip condensed a ball of red light, injecting it into her body. Then, a look of astonishment flashed across his face. "So that's how it is..."
A hint of gloom swirled in his eyes. "Little thing, you look young, but you have quite a few soul imprints on your body. They're all from exceptionally talented royal beasts, and even a beast emperor, a mermaid from the Southern Sea. I underestimated you."
He could see that too?!
Soul imprints, besides the two partners, only stronger experts are capable of detecting them.
Fei Yuan's strength is even stronger than Aze's?
Sang Luo's mouth was faster than her brain, "Are you married?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to slap herself.
She couldn't be that hungry. Fei Yuan was Si Ye's uncle. She wasn't into a double feature with an uncle and nephew.
"That, I was just asking casually, I didn't mean anything else." She laughed awkwardly.
Fei Yuan looked at her with a particularly meaningful gaze. "Why don't you try and see? Then you'll know."
Second update ~
Maybe, perhaps, possibly there will be a third update tonight. If I can finish writing it before going to bed, there will be. If I fall asleep halfway through, there won't be...
