"I'm not just overly energetic! I'm just... just a little hot!" She wiped her nose with her sleeve, staining the blue sleeve red.
Her unclean behavior made Song Wuxia frown again. "Crown Princess, shouldn't you get off me?"
Only after he reminded her did she realize she was still sitting in his lap. She immediately jumped down as if startled. When she accidentally glanced at his fair chest, her face flushed again. She remembered the dazzling masculine scent emanating from him when she had buried her face in his chest. But before she could be mesmerized for long, she felt a chill at her feet. Looking down, she saw nothing but a green snake!
"Song Wuxia! Help!" She had just gotten off the person, but jumped back into their arms.
Song Wuxia had never felt so helpless. He casually picked up a teacup and tossed it lightly. The teacup hit the snake right on its vital spot, and the snake lay motionless on the ground.
"Your Highness, it's just a bamboo leaf green pepper; there's no need to panic."
Feng Guang couldn't stand his nonchalant attitude. She said incomprehensibly, "What do you mean it's just a bamboo viper? It's poisonous!"
"Don't worry, it won't poison me."
"It can't poison you, but it can poison me!"
Song Wuxia chuckled, "If the Crown Princess really was poisoned, then her life or death is in the hands of fate..."
"Song Wuxia!" Feng Guang grabbed his white robe. "Getting bitten by it can kill you! You want to die, but I don't!"
Her words seemed to have touched a taboo, for the air froze for a moment.
Song Wuxia remained as elegant and refined as ever. He asked softly, "What is the Crown Princess saying? Why would I want to die?"
"Yes, the mask you wear is indeed perfect. No matter who sees you, they will only think you are an elegant and refined person. But Song Wuxia, do you know that the more you act unlike a eunuch, the more people will think you are hiding a side you don't want others to see?" She didn't know where she got the courage, but she questioned, word by word, "You are the least like a eunuch I have ever seen, but you... but you are a eunuch nonetheless. The so-called 'rising from the mud unsullied' doesn't apply to you at all. Song Wuxia, you are not that pure and clean white lotus, you are the mud beneath!"
“Silt?” He raised an eyebrow. “That’s an interesting way of putting it.”
This was the first time he had ever heard someone describe him in this way.
“Yes, you are like that black mud, able to hide no matter how dark it is, making you invisible and unfathomable. But... I feel that the name Wuxia suits you very well.” She said the last sentence with a hint of regret.
Song Wuxia's smile deepened. His beaming face only made it harder to guess his true emotions. "Why does the Crown Princess say such a thing?"
“Because…because you are perfect.” She looked up, her beautiful eyes fixed on him. His face, which wasn’t exactly stunning, was reflected in her brown eyes. She seemed to be in a daze and said slowly, “You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen…”
Is this a compliment to his appearance?
No, that's not right.
He looked into her eyes and denied the answer.
