Chapter 37 – Secret Dating The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)

Murong Xue took another step and lifted her head to look up. She saw a magnificent emerald-tiled palace in front of her. At the entrance, there were gold letters that glittered in the sunlight that read, “Zhen Manor”.

She had reached home.

“Thank you, your highness for sending me home!” Murong Xue said with a smile, her hand stretched towards Xun Feng, ready to take her claimed prize.

Xun Feng’s eyes glistened. With a swift movement, he handed the Jiaowei Yangqin to the bodyguard at the entrance and disappeared without a trace within the blink of an eye.

Murong Xue blinked, though she could clearly sense a few people passing by, she could not detect any trace of the bodyguard. Her eyes shone with curiosity; bodyguards truly deserve to be recognised for their skill – appearing out of nowhere and disappearing again without a trace, making it impossible for people to prepare themselves for an assault from them…..

Looking at her eyes sparkling made Ouyang Shaochen even more depressed. He had already gone and yet, she was still looking at the direction he disappeared to. Was she really that interested in Xun Feng?

“This is the wine you wanted to try, bring it back to have a taste!” Ouyang Shaochen grabbed Murong Xue’s small hand and placed a small wine bottle into it. His mannerism seemed rough, as if he didn’t know how to properly treat a girl.

A dull pain passed from her hand and it jolted her to her senses again. Looking at the sealed bottle, she was startled.

At first, she was battling with Qin Yuyuan, and then she saw his mysterious bodyguard. She had completely forgotten about the wine. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Shaochen still remembered.

“Thank you very much, Your Highness……..Your Highness, do you have many bodyguards like him?”

She was talking about Xun Feng again!

Inside, Ouyang Shaochen furrowed his brow.

Impatiently, he replied, “Do you want me to hand Xun Feng over to you?” His voice obviously displaying sarcasm.

Murong Xue shook her head, “This won’t be necessary. My place is quite peaceful, I don’t need such an accomplished bodyguard. I’m just very curious about their skill of appearing and disappearing without a trace!”

Ah, so she wasn’t interested in Xun Feng, she was just curious about his bodyguards!

Hiding in oblivion, Xun Feng let out a sigh in relief. Luckily she had explained, or else, upon returning to the palace, he wouldn’t be let off the hook easily.

The gloominess in Ouyang Shaochen’s eyes vanished and his pupils returned to their normal unfathomable state.

“What they can do, is indeed a unique skill. If you want to know more, you can come to my palace anytime!”

“Thank you, your highness!” Murong Xue smiled delightfully.

Ancient martial arts are so complicated yet splendid. Learning more about it would be a wise decision…..

The faint smell of bamboo ink encircled her nose and she was suddenly reminded of her sickness.

“Your highness, do you still have any fire lotus seeds? If it’s convenient for you, I would like to buy all of them!”

Whenever her sickness strikes, she has to take fire lotus seeds to help herself. She had no hope of gaining any of them from Ye Yichen (Prince Jing). All the other fire lotus seeds in her area were purchased by Zhen Manor. However, they were all destroyed by Qinyang’s bodyguard. So far, she could only take the ones Ouyang Shaochen had given her.

Looking at her earnest face, pity formed inside Ouyang Shaochen. From his sleeve, he took out a white porcelain bottle and gave it to her.

“I initially had 3 fire lotus seeds; I gave you one last night. Now there are only 2 left, there you go!”

“Thank you so much, your highness!” Murong Xue got hold of the bottle from him, her delicate hands lightly touching it. She raised her brow: So there are only 2 left? Her attacks were unpredictable. Every time it happened, she must take them. Two was far from enough!

“Your highness, do you know of this medicinal herb named Diyang Cao?”
