Han Fen was glad to meet Dragon King and treated him as an old acquaintance whom she had not seen in a long time.
In fact, they had only met once. The one that Gu Shenwei had seen in the capital of Hui Kingdom was actually Maid Lotus who had altered her appearance.
”Everything is fine in the royal palace. The Queen is fine and she is safe with me. Did you know it, there are some deer here. They're not afraid of people, and like to lick our hand. It is rather ticklish. I really wanted to break its neck. I have also seen other animals, such as swans, peacocks and horses. They all have long, slim necks. Do you think the Queen will get angry if I break a couple of their necks?” Han Fen innocently said.
Gu Shenwei listened to Han Fen patiently, and said, ”Probably not. You like the Queen, so you want to make her happy, right?”
”Yeah,” Han Fen nodded and replied seriously, ”The Queen is a kind girl. She often sends servants to deliver delicious food to me and to inquire about my sleep. My mother always treated me the same way when I was younger.”
Gu Shenwei fixed his eyes on her. Her eyes sparkled as she reminisced. She raised her head slightly, a sweet smile on her face, humming a terrible tune.
Gu Shenwei was speechless at this scene. ”Had her brain stopped developing since she joined New Moon Hall and received training there? But how did she master those profound martial arts and complex occult sciences?”
”To make her happy, you secretly helped her, didn't you?” he asked.
”Hehe,” Han Fen grinned and said. Hanging her head low, she stuck out her tongue, and then asked curiously, ”How do you know?”
”I'm Dragon King,” he replied.
”So you know everything?”
”Yes.”
”There is a mole on my shoulder. Some think it is good; some think it is bad. I'll show you, tell me your opinion on it,” she said, moving to take off her clothes.
”There is no need. It's just a mole. It means nothing,” Gu Shenwei said quickly, to stop her.
”Oh, I see. I always feared that it might mean that I couldn't achieve something big. Then, I would not be able to help Managing Master,” she said with relief.
Gu Shenwei had noticed on their first meeting that Han Fen was good at changing the subject. So he ignored her words and asked directly, ”What did you do to the Queen?”
Han Fen eyes widened, ”I thought you knew this.”
If it was someone else, Gu Shenwei must think she was acting. But he knew Han Fen didn't play dumb.
”Yes, I know it. I just want to know more details so that I can repay your kindness accordingly.”
Hearing it, Han Fen smiled brightly. She shook her hands and declined, ”It's my duty. You don't have to.” But she was just acting. She yearned for his rewards. Before receiving any response from Gu Shenwei, she began to describe the process, ”Queen was afraid of you at that time. I saw her crying every day, and felt sorry for her. Then I thought...”
”You thought?” Gu Shenwei asked with some doubt.
”I was the only one who observed the Queen carefully and found her crying every day. Other people were busy preparing her dowry.”
”Go on. What did you think?” Gu Shenwei asked, knowing that he would find something fishy here. But he did not pursue that line of questioning.
”I notice you don't look well today. Did you not sleep well last night, or do you miss the Queen.”
”You misunderstand me. I want to know what you thought before the Queen's wedding ceremony.”
”Oh. At that time, I wanted to find a way to make her happy. After meditating for a long time, I finally came up with a good idea.”
To arouse his curiosity, Han Fen paused suddenly. Gu Shenwei pretended to be confused and asked, ”What idea?”
Hearing it, Han Fen felt satisfied and continued, ”I finally figured out why she was afraid of you. The Queen was young and had no experience in sex. She didn't know what to do on the wedding night. Then I remembered a occultism called Delightful Touches, and I thought this might help. This occultism can help a woman overcome her fear and shyness, and enjoy sex with a man. I had tried it before and it worked well. The next morning, that man kept bothering me, so I killed him. Now I felt a little regretful. I should have kept him alive longer.”
Han Fen raised her head, lost into thought again.
Gu Shenwei had never heard this occultism from Maid Lotus before. ”She kept it from me because she didn't want me to look down upon New Moon Hall. But she allowed her loyal subordinate to try it on the Queen.
That's why the sects of Western Region despise New Moon Hall.” He mused.
”So you tried it on the Queen?” he asked.
”What do you refer to?”
”Delightful Touches.”
”I did, It worked well, didn't it? I notice that the Queen isn't afraid of you at all, besides, she always misses you. She doesn't know that it was my doing. Don't tell the Queen about it. I also don't want any reward from her.”
But her expression betrayed her words. Gu Shenwei knew that she would be disappointed if he did not tell the Queen.
”You'll get rewarded. But as for this matter, we'd better keep her in the dark. If she knew it, she would be displeased. Now she doesn't fear me, so you can stop helping her with that occultism.”
”I haven't used it after your wedding night. Delightful Touches lasts seven days. Today... is the last day. You come here for the Queen, right? Don't miss your chance.”
Gu Shenwei interrupted her, and asked the question he cared about most, ”Who did it to me?”
Han Fen stared at Dragon King with bewilderment, and said, ”Who could do it to you? You think too much.”
Gu Shenwei also couldn't believe that anyone could do it to him, but he felt something was wrong with himself. He said, ”Why do I have the same symptom with the Queen - a strong desire for sex?”
”It's lucky that Han Fen isn't a normal woman. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to mention it directly.” He thought to himself.
