Chapter 470: Impossible To Read A Woman’s Hear (2/2)

“You’re beaming now, must be nice being the Divine King and marrying a princess. Congratulation, Young Lord Feng, oh wait, no, the young Divine King.”

The two of them strolled along a pond inside the mansion on top of a bridge, shoulder to shoulder. There was no sign of proper etiquette and status.

“My beautiful Xiangcen, why are you so angry today?” Feiyun smiled and said.

She sneered in response: “Feng Feiyun, you are still part of the Feng Clan despite being the Divine King. The ancestor told me to tell you that within one to three years, the dynasty will deteriorate. The court isn’t that carefree right now, he wishes for you to take advantage of your position to strengthen the Feng’s plan in the future. After all, the royal clan are outsiders, the Feng is your real family.”

Feiyun didn’t show any change in emotion and smiled: “Why do you listen to Feng Mo so much? What’s in it for you?”

She only smiled and didn’t reply.

“Did he tell you that once we are successful, he’ll betroth you to me?” Feiyun teased.

“Stop flattering yourself, I don’t want to be someone’s concubine.” She quickened her pace to create a gap between them. Suddenly, she paused and said: “Wolong Sheng is waiting at the Blissful Palace. I hope the two of you will have a good talk about the potential alliance.”

He stared at her back and asked: “Where are you going then?”

“Back to the Feng mansion.” Her long hair was fluttering in the wind behind her beautiful figure.

“Stay here instead.” Feiyun requested.

She trembled a bit and stopped again: “Where?”

“The Divine King’s mansion.” Feiyun continued: “This place is too big and not one familiar face is around, a bit too stuffy too.”

“You want me to stay here to entertain you? Haha, Feng Feiyun, you think too lowly of me. Go find your fiancee, Princess Yue, instead.” Xiangcen left without any hesitation but there was a hint of confusing bitterness in her heart.

She was an arrogant woman and wouldn’t accept charity from anyone.

Feiyun rubbed his forehead and complained: “Women nowadays, not even willing to talk it out nicely.”

Little does he know, a woman who won’t actually talk to him nicely has yet to appear.

In the capital, the most famous places for playboys outside of Beauty’s Smile Pavilion were the three flower palaces.

These debaucherous places didn’t look lowly and dirty at the capital. On the other hand, they were elegant in appearance. The girls were beautiful and talented; well-educated just like scholars and matchless in looks. Some female cultivators from the great powers would even come to these places to support their idols.

It wasn’t like physical relationships weren’t possible in these places. However, once you have slept with someone, you must buy their freedom. Even if you couldn’t give her a proper title as a wife or let her enter the clan, you must still show respect.

They weren’t prostitutes, only ridden with debts for a multitude of reasons and lacked autonomy. Thus, one would be mistaken to treat them disrespectfully like prostitutes.

In places like the three flower palaces, the women inside were quite arrogant and proud. They had no lack of suitors. Even if one was a young lord of a cultivation sect or a member of the four great clans, the women might still not give them a second glance.

Winning the favor from just one of them was an honor of sorts that would incite much envy and jealousy.

In order to win the heart of these women, many young nobles would linger around these parts in order to support the women. They fought, laughed, and cried; some eventually won the women’s heart and brought them home. All of this was quite common.

This played a big part as to why these women had such a prestigious status in the capital. They had too many young prodigies guarding them, elevating their worth.

Right now, the heroes in the world have gathered at the capital and more than half were hanging around in these parts. Of course, some historical geniuses were present as well. This made the competition even fiercer. One could sense a tense atmosphere breaking out everywhere.

A while ago, the number one in the capital was Ye Xiaoxiang from Beauty’s Smile, or Maestro Ye. After her disappearance. The new top idols were the three flower fairies.

They were all among the top twenty of the prettiest women in the Jin Dynasty and had literary and musical skills close to Ye Xiaoxiang. All three were supported by the prodigies now.

Blissful was one of the three flower palaces.
