Before dawn broke, there was no moonlight or sunlight, making this the blackest part of night. This was also Ning Cheng’s darkest moment. The bottom of the abyss was covered in flourishing plant life and rugged terrain. It was so dark that he couldn’t even see his fingers in front of him, so he had to rely on a torch to illuminate a small circle around himself.
Ning Cheng had already lost all reason. He even forgot to call for reinforcements. Only the few guards who had followed him down were helping him scour the landscape. Somewhere along the way, he had stopped shouting for “princess” and started calling for “Han Yunxi.”
“Princess” represented his and the Di Clan’s mission, while “Han Yunxi” was simply Han Yunxi, a woman. In the deepest depths of his heart, “Han Yunxi” was more than just the “West Qin princess.”
Perhaps when the skies grew lighter, Ning Cheng would recover his senses, find reinforcements, and discover the exit of the abyss that led him to the back of the mountain. But by then, he wouldn’t see Han Yunxi, because she was already heading towards the forests in the south in Long Feiye’s carriage. This canyon was a common boundary between their two armies. It was unlikely that Ning Cheng could cross it easily, much less chase them to the south.
Uncle Gao drove the carriage with the shadow guards in attendance. None of them knew what had happened last night, much less where His Highness Crown Prince was taking the West Qin princess. All they could do was follow orders.
Inside, Han Yunxi was still nestled sleepily in Long Feiye’s arms. She felt someone scratching and waved them away with her hand, only to have Long Feiye grab her fingers and kiss them lightly. She was so exhausted that her mind was completely blank, too tired to think much of it. In any case, she was familiar with this embrace and her current surroundings, so she slept without worries. She turned over to sprawl on the spacious seat before hugging a pillow to keep sleeping. Like before, she could sleep soundly until daybreak if he was by her side. This was a feeling she was used to already.
But now was different from the past.
Or rather, this man was different from his past self!
Han Yunxi gradually felt an itching sensation climbing up from her legs. She moved her arm to stop it, but didn’t catch anything. Yet as soon as she dropped her hand, the itching started again. She contracted her beautiful legs and looked over before realizing she was covered in red marks from last night. Her well-proportioned legs were curled up sluggishly beneath her, and Long Feiye was playing with them with his hands. Han Yunxi hastily grabbed her clothes to cover up her body while giving him a light kick as she grumbled flirtatiously, “Enough.”
His lips drew up into a mischievous grin filled with wickedness and satisfaction. Instead of bullying her, he lazily leaned back against a pillow and ordered, “Come here!”
She was about to go over anyways, but paused to study him longer. Suddenly, she realized that his statuesque physique was on show right before her eyes. A single glimpse was enough to send her gaze roving. Last night was too passionate and chaotic for her to realize what a great body he had. It was filled with strength and sexiness, each line and contour enough to make one’s thoughts run wild.
Sensing her stare, Long Feiye arched a brow. “Had enough yet?” he asked.
Had she seen enough?
Han Yunxi quickly averted her eyes and tossed him his robes. “Long Feiye, I have something important to tell you!”
