Chapter 849: Simply seeking your own humiliation (1/2)

After all, you and I were once…

Were once what?

The silent tent grew even quieter once her words reached this point. An amused flicker went through Long Feiye’s eyes. Has this woman gotten addicted to fooling around?

“After all, you and I were once...so deeply in love!” Han Yunxi drew out the last four words on purpose.

Baili Yuanlong and his men all had ghastly expressions on their faces. Deputy General Xie murmured, “General, this woman is truly shameless. What time is it now? Yet she’s still bringing those things up.”

“Hmph, even if she doesn’t find it shameful, His Highness would!” Baili Yuanlong muttered back unhappily.

“General, did His Highness knew of her identity beforehand?” Deputy General Zhao murmured.

Baili Yuanlong only glared at him without a word. The other two deputy generals didn’t dare to pursue the matter, either.

Actually, Baili Yuanlong himself wasn’t sure, but whatever the case, he had suggested His Highness proclaim he’d long know about this woman’s status and was just using her in order to placate the soldiers’ hearts. Unfortunately, His Highness had only dismissed him in a fury. Although His Highness didn’t use woman for his own gains, it didn’t mean their previous love had no shame. To love one’s enemy and dote on her that much would bring nothing but humiliation and disgrace upon reflection, wouldn’t it? All four men assumed that their master would take this chance to put this woman in her place, but Long Feiye didn’t reply.

Han Yunxi immediately scooted closer as she provoked, “Long Feiye, wouldn’t you say so?”

Baili Yuanlong and his men just waited to watch a good show with disdain. Han Yunxi was now very close, enough for Long Feiye to reach her with his hand. She was certainly Long Feiye wouldn’t dare to do anything to her. For one thing, he couldn’t bear to verbally dishonor her name; for another, he didn’t dare get handsy in front of so many other eyes. It was rare to find a chance to defeat this fellow, so it’d be a waste if she didn’t play around with him at the chance.

As the crowd watched, Long Feiye’s face remained calm, his voice clear and lofty as he asked back “Han Yunxi, just how were we deeply in love back then?”

The difference between “shaming” and “flirting” lay in the relationship between the two parties. Since they were enemies on the surface, Baili Yuanlong and his men only saw Long Feiye humiliating Han Yunxi, while in actuality he was closer to flirting--or even expressing his sentiments--to her. Before Long Feiye, the intelligent Han Yunxi always seem to fall under a curse and easy lose her wits.

Long Feiye not only moved his mouth, but his hands as well. He pulled Han Yunxi over with one arm and circled his hand around her waist so that she was leaning against him. Han Yunxi resisted by placing her hands against the armrests of his chair, but Long Feiye’s lips only curved up wickedly before he gave a sudden jerk, causing her to fall against his body. Plastered against his chest, she couldn’t even move.

With a cold laugh, he said, “How were we deeply in love, Han Yunxi? There’s no harm in saying it for this crown prince to hear.” Then in front of everyone, he whispered by her ear in a low voice, “Is it fun?”

“Long Feiye, that’s enough from you,” Han Yunxi was both amused and infuriated.

“It’s not enough,” he said, before pressing his hands against her mounds of flesh as he began to massage them. “West Qin princess, it looks like you still miss this crown prince’s favor. If you issue an edict to the world that you’re willing to be this crown prince’s bed slave, then I don’t mind awarding you with a few rounds of deep love.”

Han Yunxi’s soul almost shattered into pieces at the massage as a fire began to build up inside her body. She finally understood that there was no way she could tease Long Feiye, no matter where or when it was. She’d only end up being the one teased instead.

In the eyes of Baili Yuanlong and the rest, it only looked like she’d been utterly humiliated. The deputy generals were even sporting cold smiles, while Baili Yuanlong was outright sneering. Yet he quickly knitted his brows. If the “deep love” between these two refers to joys of the bedchamber, then...

Baili Yuanlong had always known that His Highness was cultivating the Lustbite energy, but how could he be privy to the details? Even now, he was clueless as to his daughter Baili Mingxiang’s true purpose for going to Celestial Mountain. Currently, only the Celestial Mountain sword sect master, Gu Beiyue, Baili Mingixang, and the shadow guard A’Dong by her side knew about the connection between the Lustbite energy and dual cultivation. He only knew that Han Yunxi had revealed her cinnabar gecko mark back on Fishey Island, meaning she was still a virgin then.

Now…

It’s been so long since Fishery Island, and His Highness doted on her so much. In that case, they must have, ages ago… Thinking up to here, Baili Yuanlong’s firsts reaction was to look at Han Yunxi’s stomach. There was no way the heir of the East Qin Dynasty could come from the West Qin princess’s stomach, ah! He couldn’t begin to imagine, much less accept, a child between Han Yunxi and His Highness! But he quickly calmed down. Han Yunxi hadn’t been with His Highness after she left Celestial Mountain at all, which was months ago. Her stomach was still flat, which means she couldn’t have gotten pregnant.

If Han Yunxi and Long Feiye knew what that old coot Baili Yuanlong was thinking of now, how would they feel?

But in truth, even a soldier like him would worry about such details. The matter of the emperor’s offspring was a national affair, so all of the civil and military officials of court would pay attention. Moreover, Long Feiye was the East Qin Dynasty’s sole heir. Everyone by his side wanted him to expand the imperial clan as soon as he could.

“Let me go!” Han Yunxi fumed as she struggled to sit up. “Long Feiye, release me! You’re shameless!”
