Chapter 492: "Do You Like Wu Chong? 1 "
Chapter 492 "Do You Like Wu Chong? (1)"
In light of how serious and stern the boy's expression was when saying that, Ling Yue only found it frustratingly hilarious to hear such a statement from him.
As such, Feng Shen took this opportunity to pull the girl into an embracing hold with his arms after finding no resistance. Together in a seated position on the bed, the boy wasted no time in going over his story and relationship with that so-called Sacred Maiden.
"Xue Pian Ran is the Sacred Maiden of the Dan Palace. I was once greatly injured during my childhood so for a while, I had to stay there and that's when I met her. We were both children at the time, but because of how bad my illness was, she was tasked in caring for me due to her special constitution. That's when the whole arrangement came to be, it was Master Hong Ru who went to the king and discussed the idea."
"Excuses, as if the Dan Palace would lack people to take care of you." She may not have noticed it yet but the girl's voice was carrying a very strong level of jealousy.
"My body cannot be touched by the average person. A male with a strong level of Yang energy is still okay under good times, but for a woman, they will almost always be inflicted by my cold syndrome and become bedridden for weeks on end. Because Xue Pian Ran is the Sacred Maiden, she's been bathed in different kinds of elixirs since she was but a baby, thus making her impervious to regular poisons or outside effects. That's why Master Hong Ru brought up the idea of matching her with me to the king, they were all afraid of me not being able to copulate with my future wife and carry on the Phoenix Lord title."
Back then Feng Shen had just stepped up to the position as family chief, thereby making him extremely busy with the daily affairs. Then as time dragged on without confirmation or word from the boy himself, the people from the Dan Palace just assumed it was granted and took the pair as fiancé and fiancée.
"Let's say you are not lying to me and spouting the truth, then what about me? I've taken care of you on multiple occasions and never experienced any discomfort, how do you explain that?" Ling Yue could relate to why the boy would try to hide such fact from herself, but she also found it strange in some ways.
Take one of her first visits to the Phoenix Manor back at Da Xia for example, she saw firsthand how one of the tea-serving maids suffered some serious frostbites after accidentally brushing against the boy's skin.
Then looking back at herself, nothing bad ever happened, not when they shared a bed, nor when they kissed just now....
"You are an exception. I also found it strange when I first met you. Xue Pian Ran is able to fend off my cold effect because of all the exotic elixirs she consumed during her youth, that's why her constitution changed. But you seem to be naturally born this way with no fear of my condition. I even found that so long as I hold onto you then the frost within my body would numb away."
In reality, it wasn't entirely true that he was pretending to be having a relapse of his illness. He definitely felt a certain level of discomfort when Ling Yue pushed out the door, but when their bodies made contact, the worsening condition instantly went away, thus allowing the boy to take advantage of the moment.

"You only know how to say sweet words," still with a bit of anger left in her, Ling Yue snorts at the excuse. "That Xue Pian Ran is so beautiful and the Sacred Maiden of the Dan Palace, what man wouldn't be tempted? Don't tell me Feng Shen, is your certain part not functioning properly because of your illness?" With that said, she then struggles to break free from those arms.
But there's no way Feng Shen would allow the ill-behaving girl to escape his clutches. In one swift pull of his body, he firmly brings her back down to sit directly atop of his legs. And maybe as punishment for that previous comment, Ling Yue could clearly feel something bumping against her thighs this instant - its hard and growing bigger!
Realizing what's going on, the girl's face reacted exactly like any maiden would and became a beaming rosy red.
"Ling Yue, no matter the circumstances, a girl can never question a man's certain ability, especially when they are unquestionable in love with you." Without hesitation, Feng Shen slowly explains an iron-clad rule to this ignorant maiden.
"Damn you Feng Shen. Of all the things you could learn, you decide to learn such bad habits from Wu Chong." Reacting according to her intuition, the girl immediately assumed it was the masked man who taught this gentle boy such evil ideas.
It must be that blasted Wu Chong. Its bad enough he's his shadow guard, now the bastard is instilling these dirty thoughts into him as well. And here I was thinking he wasn't that annoying anymore, what a waste of my energy.
Unaware of the taboo in that name, Ling Yue's careless remark had caused the boy's expression to go dark, "Ling Yue, do you.... Like Wu Chong?"
"Like Wu Chong! What sort of joke are you trying to do here Feng Shen? Even if there's only one person left in this world, I would never like that man." The only thing she could feel right now was a series of goosebumps rubbing against her skin because the very notion of that idea scared her.
Despite getting the answer in which he sought, Feng Shen's face was still groaning with displeasure in light of that tender smile: "Then what if Wu Chong is not who you think, or to be more precise, that he is not what you think he is.... What would you do then?" As difficult as this was for him, the boy nevertheless asked the most troubling question in his heart.
"Why are you acting so strange tonight Feng Shen? That Wu Chong is too dangerous, you should just get rid of him as your shadow guard when you can." As if afraid her unreasonable suggestion would be overheard, she specifically lowered her voice into a whisper and moved up to the boy's ear, thus causing their cheeks to graze against one another.
Now that was a huge mistake on Ling Yue's part. Unlike anything she's come across in the past, that rod beneath her thighs had become so hard and so hot that it felt like a soldering iron!
Out of fear, she actually jumped straight up from the boy's lap and groaned at him, "I'm sleepy, you go sleep too. Tomorrow... I will see you tomorrow."
She's not leaving!
Elated over this thought, Feng Shen didn't want to push his luck tonight so he awkwardly got up from the bed. Due to how cramped his muscles were from having the girl sit on him for so long, he actually looked very funny due to that rigid stride and the bump stilling bulging between his crotch.
.......................
After a good while of standing in the middle of the main yard, Feng Shen suddenly called out to the night, "Just come out, I know you're there."
"Feng Shen..." Coming out from behind one of the fake mountains was a figure all too familiar to the lad, it's Cong Lu, the captain of the royal guards.
