Chapter 20 (1/2)

Chapter 20: Lying with eyes wide open

<hr>Hi Everyone ?

Several announcements before you jump right into reading!

First off, please welcome Lildestry onto Lazy Girl Translations. She reached out to me and volunteered to become an editor, so no more gross grammar mistakes by me.. except for this chapter since she hasn’t been able to edit it yet. But look forward to grammatically correct sentences haha

Thirdly, I will be trying to make releases consistent. So, look out for new chapters every Tuesday! Another thing to note is that my last final is this upcoming Thursday. Since this is the case, I am hoping to translate more and have more releases out during the winter holiday (not 100% confirmed). So look forward to that!

Finally, I am currently trying to decide whether to translate chapter t.i.tles or not (since they kind of reveal a bit of the chapter). Comment below to give me your opinion!

Now enjoy the chapter!

After the song was over, everyone was dumbstruck by the surrounding plants, completely dead.

“Ha….” Abruptly, a sudden startling sound broke the dead silence. Everyone turned towards where the sound came from to discover that it was Wan Feng who couldn’t withstand it anymore and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

“General Wan, are you okay?” Prince Rui’s complexion completely changed and rushed to a.s.sist Wan Feng who was on the verge of collapsing.

“It.. It’s nothing. Just now… I was trying to circulate the energies within my body to resist, but ended up with Qi Deviation. I’ll be better in a while….” But before he could finish his words, he ended up coughing up another mouthful of blood, scaring Prince Rui to dodge to the side.

“….” Big Brother, how could you say it’s nothing when you have this appearance? What right-minded person would treat blood like water and would continuously spit it out like they don’t want to live?

After the third time of spitting out fresh blood, Wan Feng at last could not bear this heavy burden anymore and hurriedly spoke. “I am sorry but this general will have to leave first.”

Thereafter, he broke into a wild sprint out of the imperial garden, leaving a stunned Prince Rui distressed.

When Xia Yuqing had stopped playing for a moment, she noticed Wan Feng wildly sprinting away. She couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Feng Tingye and innocently asked, “What’s wrong with that guy?”

With that question, everyone’s eyes were focused on Feng Tingye to see him unhurriedly stand up and cheerfully said, “Him? He was just filled with so much admiration for your zither sounds that he felt unworthy to show his face to you and went so far as to leave this place as well.”

“…” Everyone had a sad, frustrated expression as they looked at their majesty. They couldn’t help to exclaim in admiration, WOW! His majesty is like a G.o.d at lying with his eyes open, and going so far as to not even let one drop of water to leak out [means doing it so flawlessly], we really look up to you!

“Really?” Xia Yuqing’s eyes brightened up and looked at Feng Tingye expectedly.

Feng Tingye with a face full of resoluteness, not appearing as if he was making a joke at all, gently spoke, “A gentleman would not go back on one’s words, if you don’t believe me ask the others.”

Xia Yuqing thought about it for a bit, then turned her head towards the person closest to her, Leng Ruofeng. With high spirits she asked, “What did you think of my performance?”

Leng Ruofeng’s usual poker face showed a few flaws, coughing a few times then spoke against what she believed. “Extremely good.”

Extremely good? Kidney’s good? Then the waist will be good! Xia Yuqing stared blankly then suddenly reacted. With a face full of pity she gazed upon Leng Ruofeng’s face. This pitiful icy beauty, trying to covertly remind me. Your waist is strong? Too bad even if your waist could get stronger, you have met the Ultra Seme Lord and the only thing you can do is bare with that fact.

Looking at Xia Yuqing’s gaze, the Leng Ruofeng who would only make others feel cold, for the first time felt the so-called s.h.i.+ver up the spine. Extremely uncomfortable, he raised his head to look up towards the moon. As expected to conceal your conscience, to tell any lies of any sort, would definitely get retribution.

“Really….” On the other side, Liu Yixiang was scratching her ears the entire time to finally recover a bit. Then facing towards Yan Ran’s direction, “How do you feel?”

Yan Ran’s smiling expression was a bit stiff, ” I think its not bad!”
