Chapter 457: Assistance

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

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.

Hearing this, Han Fen burst into laughter, her hands holding her stomach. She was amused by Gu Shenwei’s innocent question.

Gu Shenwei was infuriated by her response.

Gu Shenwei couldn’t help reaching out to the saber hilt, but stopped himself.“She is a crazy woman. I can’t take it seriously.” He reminded himself. As she kept laughing, he had to wait patiently for her to answer.

Han Fen had not forgotten his question, and replied, laughing, “You’re a normal man.”

“What do you mean?” Gu Shenwei asked, perplexed. He thought that she had missed out something important.

“You’re a normal man, and you love women. Even without Delightful Touches, your desire for sex will be aroused once you’re seduced by a woman. Take that man whom I tried the occultism on. He was shy the first night. But then, his desire for sex was aroused and he enjoyed the process. His desire for sex didn’t stop even he was exhausted. After seven days, I lost interest but he still obsessed for it. To get rid of him, I killed him.”

Gu Shenwei felt glad that he had not been the target of occultism of New Moon Hall. It meant that he had laid perfect security arrangement. But he also felt great shame. That strong desire for sex was completely from himself. This time, he had set the desire free.

“You’re clever,” Gu Shenwei complimented so as to know more information, “But not clever enough to think of that idea yourself. Before you tried Delightful Touches on the Queen, someone must have told you about it, am I right?”

“You’re wrong. It was my own idea. Besides, no one talked to me. I love chatting with you. When I feel bored, I will imagine a partner around me. But you’re more interesting than her.”

Han Fen was the first one who thought Dragon King was interesting.

Gu Shenwei didn’t think she was lying. “Someone must have given her a hint. It might be Maid Lotus. Perhaps I asked with the wrong method.” He mused.

He asked several questions in succession, but failed to get any more information. In the end, he had to give up. “As I have no intention to get revenge soon, I don’t need to know more.” He reasoned.

“Do you really love chatting with me?” he asked.

“Yeah, you heard me. You…”

“I’ll talk to you soon.”

“Deal. You can come anytime except at night. I need to protect the Queen at night. During this period, I can’t talk to anyone.”

“Okay. I hope you will keep this conversation to yourself.”

“I’ll,” Han Fen said and shook her head, with her mouth closed tightly.

“What if someone asks about our conversation?”

“I’ll ask them to leave and mind their own business. Or I’ll kill them.”

“What if Managing Master asks? You can’t defeat her.”

“Then… I won’t tell a word even she threatens to kill me.”

“You can tell her that Dragon King cares about the Queen and asked you to protect the Queen.”

“This is better. Dragon King cares about the Queen, and he asked me to protect the Queen.”

Dragon King left. Han Fen repeated his words and tried to memorize it.

Gu Shenwei knew that Maid Lotus wouldn’t believe it. He chose to let it go.“Now that war is coming, I need assistance from Maid Lotus and New Moon Hall. I’ll get revenge after our alliance ends.” He decided.

Maid Lotus was a jealous woman. She couldn’t tolerate seeing Gu Shenwei with other women. Gu Shenwei told himself that the disciples of New Moon Hall were crazy women, so he didn’t feel that her crazy behavior was odd.

Han Fen had said it was the last day that Delightful Touches worked. But Gu Shenwei didn’t go for the Queen. Now that he knew what had happened, he wouldn’t let the desire for sex loose again.

“I’m Dragon King, so I can’t do whatever I want, as Old Man Mu does. I need to control all desires properly.” He thought.

Gu Shenwei didn’t care what the Queen thought.

Hearing that Dragon King left the royal palace, the Princess bawled on the bed.“Why? Did I do anything wrong? Why does Dragon King humiliate me over and over again? Do I mean nothing to him?” The Princess wondered.

Seeing the Princess crying, Xu Yanwei took sympathy on the Princess. She wanted to bring Dragon King back, but she knew it was impossible. “Now all I can do is to console the Princess gently. Tell her that Dragon King is a man and he has more important matters to deal with.”

The Princess stopped crying. She grabbed Xu Yanwei by the hand, raising her head and asked, “Does Dragon King have other women?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanwei’s expression changed. She did not know how to respond. She had never expected such question from the Princess. In her eyes, the Princess was as innocent as a child. Besides, Dragon King’s romantic life was complicated.

“Tell me the truth. He is Dragon King, I’ll not mind if he has dozens of women.”

“No, not that many. Dragon King seems to have no interest in females. He only has several intimate female acquaintances. But he has clean relationships with them.” Xu Yanwei explained.

“Is one of them Maid Lotus?”

Hearing this, Xu Yanwei was shocked. She had never mentioned her in front of the Princess. She asked, “How did you know…”

“Everyone knows that Dragon King has a female guard. With skillful martial arts, she is the one that Dragon King trusts most. But he had never arranged for me to meet her.”

“She is a killer who always hides in the dark…” she said. Xu Yanwei was ignorant of their complicated relationship. But she knew that they were more than lovers or enemies. Their relationship was beyond her understanding.

“Kung Fu, does Dragon King only care about Kung Fu?” the Princess murmured to herself. All of a sudden, she thought of a secret manuscript of Kung Fu in her hand. Dragon King had given it to her and asked her to keep it well.
