Chapter 202 The Truth Comes to Light
"Mmm..."
Cen Feng woke up with a soft moan, propped himself up to sit up, and found himself lying on a soft, large bed. It seemed that he was the only one in the huge bedroom.
Where am I?
He rolled over and slowly got out of bed, but his weak legs gave way, and he fell with a thud onto the white fox fur on the floor. A sharp pain shot through his head from the impact, and some familiar images flashed through his mind—
In the vast spring pool, two people, drowning in a sea of desire, are locked in a desperate embrace...
"Little one, what's your name?"
"Senior brother, do you like this puppet?"
"I'm glad you like it. Look, it likes you too."
"Master, do you want me?"
"Senior brother, your body is just too amazing... I really want to die on top of you..."
"Hehe, Master, open your mouth, be good and don't bite..."
...
Two heavy breathing sounds echoed in Cen Feng's buzzing mind, fragments of memory filling in the gaps, "Ugh..."
He curled up on the white fur, his thin body trembling. At that moment, he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
It hurts so much.
At this moment, he felt a splitting headache, and even his heart felt as if it had been crushed. The pain spread throughout his chest, making it impossible for him to breathe with his mouth open.
"Oh dear, young master, what's wrong?!"
Just then, a pretty maid rushed over from outside the bedchamber, helped him up, and asked, "Are you alright?"
After a long while, Cen Feng looked at the woman in front of him, his expression slightly startled, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing... Where is this?"
The maid's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she forced a dry laugh, "Young...Young Master, this is the master's bedchamber..."
Upon hearing this, Cen Feng lowered his eyes and remained silent. After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is he?"
"Master, perhaps he has gone out. You should rest well..."
“Take me to see him.”
The maid met his cold, lifeless eyes, and a chill ran down her spine. She bit her red lips lightly and said in a trembling voice, "Young master... please don't make things difficult for me..."
"Oh, then I'll go find him myself." Cen Feng said, slowly getting up and walking outside without looking back.
"Young Master!" The maid watched the staggering figure leave and beckoned a guard over, urgently saying, "Quickly go and report to the master that the young master has woken up!"
"But His Majesty is in the middle of a meeting."
The atmosphere in the large council chamber was tense.
An old man with broad shoulders and shrewish eyes glared at Yan Xiao, who sat in the main seat. "Hmph, my daughter died tragically without cause. Today you must give me an explanation!"
Yan Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile. "Old Hu, didn't I already give you an explanation?"
Hu Qiu's cloudy old eyes flashed with murderous intent as he gritted his teeth and said, "That kind of excuse... do you think I'm a three-year-old child!"
"Yue Ji is a dissolute woman in private. Doesn't your precious daughter know that?"
Yan Xiao leaned back in his chair and sighed, "There are quite a few of her lovers in this very hall. If you don't believe me, you can ask them one by one."
Upon hearing this, the people in the hall exchanged glances, their expressions becoming awkward, as if they were unwilling to get involved in the matter.
Yan Xiao turned his gaze and swept it over the people in the hall, a cold smile appearing on his lips. "Do you think a woman like this is worthy of being your queen?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"you--!"
Hu Qiu was speechless for a moment, then turned to the beautiful woman beside him and gestured. The woman understood and said coldly:
"My lord, I heard that you and the Heavenly Sect inexplicably annihilated the City of Ten Thousand Sins and brought back a disciple of the Immortal Alliance. Now, there are many rumors and people are in a state of panic in the Southern Region."
Yan Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. "So?"
"If you, the Lords, do not provide a reasonable explanation for your control of the Southern Region, your position may become unstable."
"Tch, then I'll let you sit here?"
Yan Xiao flicked a teacup with his fingertip, which flew over. He took a sip and said:
"To be honest, I've long been tired of this position. As long as any of you here can keep the Southern Region in check and guard those sealed gates, it doesn't matter who gets this position."
Upon hearing about the sealed gates, fear appeared on everyone's faces, and the beautiful woman smiled awkwardly at this sight:
"My lord, I was just worried about you. Rumors are spreading throughout the Southern Region that you have been bewitched by that enchanting man and are planning to wipe out all the sects in our Southern Region..."
Yan Xiao pinched the teacup between his fingers and chuckled, "You're really making a mountain out of a molehill. He's just an interesting toy. Is it really worth making such a big deal out of him?"
Suddenly, a sound of porcelain falling came from the back hall. Yan Xiao was shocked when he scanned the area with his divine sense. He caught a glimpse of a familiar figure and staggered away into the distance.
Oops!
Yan Xiao loosened his clenched fist, glanced at the crowd below, and said in a deep voice, "If you all have nothing else to say, you may all step down!"
After everyone left, Yan Xiao quickly fled towards the sleeping quarters. He felt inexplicably flustered and eager to see that person.
When Yan Xiao found Cen Feng, he saw him sitting in a pavilion in a daze, wearing loose nightgown, and his silence was somewhat eerie.
"You...you're awake?"
Yan Xiao stepped forward and carefully observed him, when he suddenly noticed that his bare feet seemed to have been cut by gravel, and bright red blood was flowing all over the ground...
"Why aren't you wearing shoes!" Yan Xiao's eyes showed heartache as he squatted down to stop the bleeding.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Cen Feng simply stared blankly at him, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "You slept with me."
Yan Xiao paused in applying the medicine, looked up to meet his cold gaze, and his Adam's apple bobbed rapidly. "I... I was just trying to remove the demonic energy from you..."
Cen Feng's eyes were filled with hatred as he punched him hard in the face, yelling, "You're still lying to me!"
Yan Xiao covered his aching cheek, and his heart tightened upon seeing this. "You...you remembered everything?"
He sealed those memories with a secret technique, how could he possibly remember them?
Could it be during the exorcism of demonic energy...?
Yan Xiao cursed under his breath and said urgently, "What I did to you was wrong. If you're still not satisfied, then hit me again!"
Cen Feng's clenched fists loosened, and he burst into tears: "Plaything, hahaha... I never thought that someone like me would have the honor of becoming someone else's plaything?"
"My Lord Evil Lord, are you satisfied with my body? Hahahaha!"
"No... I... I didn't treat you like a plaything, you have to believe me!" Seeing him like this, Yan Xiao hurriedly hugged his swaying body. "Senior brother, it's not what you think!"
"What I said just now... I... I was just lying to them..."
"Think about it carefully... I haven't hurt you at all these days, have I?!"
“A lie is still a lie…” Cen Feng closed his eyes, letting him hold him tightly. After a moment, he wiped away his tears and sighed:
"Fine, I only have myself to blame for being stupid and foolish, I deserve to be played by you... Consider it a lesson you taught me, from now on we don't need to see each other again!"
