Chapter 983 Honesty (Xinyang VS Xiao Jifan)
After Princess Xinyang said this, the room was silent for a full three seconds!
Xiao Ji was quiet because he never expected Qin Fengwan to say such a thing. Qin Fengwan was a snow-white rabbit that would run away if poked. He was used to teasing Qin Fengwan, and this was the first time he had seen her act so unpredictably.
He was also a little dazed as his blood rushed to his head.
Princess Xinyang was quiet because she hadn't expected to say those words. She regretted it as soon as she said them, wondering what she had just said.
Is she possessed?
Or is it that she's been around this guy for too long and has been influenced by him?
She finally realized how awkward it was.
Seeing her embarrassment, Xiao Ji was actually fine. Otherwise, once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back, and it would be difficult to end the night without a fierce battle. But if that were to happen, not to mention whether he, who was seriously injured, would be able to see the sun tomorrow, would she be terrified?
"You think you can just give me whatever I want? Qin Fengwan, when did you become so obedient?"
If you can't have it physically, you can always get something out of it verbally.
Before Princess Xinyang could speak, he continued, "But where in the world is there such a cheap thing? Do you think I have to give it to you just because you want it? I won't."
You can't give it to me, can you?
With injuries like these, what part of his body can he still withstand any strain?
Princess Xinyang knew that he was taking advantage of her thin skin, which was why he dared to keep trying to win her over verbally. She should have just pushed him down and told him to stop talking nonsense and that if he was a man, he should do it for real!
But then I thought about it again, and realized I really couldn't do something like that.
She was angry with herself and with him. Her face darkened, she glared at him, and suddenly tightened her belt.
Xiao Ji was caught off guard and was suddenly pulled, causing him to gasp again; this time it really hurt.
Outside, the woman in red, who had been waiting for Xiao Ji for a long time, finally spoke up: "Young master, is there a problem with your clothes? Would you like us to come in and serve you?"
"My lord." Upon hearing this address, Princess Xinyang's face darkened even further.
Xiao Ji glanced at her with amusement, and said with a hint of smugness, "Qin Fengwan, you're jealous of this too? In the Dongyi tribe, 'Young Master' is just a term of address for a married young man, and it doesn't have any ambiguous meaning."
"My lord, I'm coming in," said the woman in red.
Princess Xinyang quickly composed herself and quietly stepped aside.
Xiao Ji put on his veil and turned around, perfectly shielding her behind him. He subtly hooked her finger under the cover of his wide sleeves.
Princess Xinyang felt a tingling sensation in her fingertips, as if she were being electrocuted.
She quickly tucked her fingers behind her back.
Beneath the veil, Xiao Ji's lips curled into a smile.
The woman in red frowned slightly as she entered the room. She sensed a very strange aura, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. It was just... she felt a bit superfluous.
She shook her head, clearing her mind of distractions, and examined Xiao Ji's wedding attire.
The saintess's husband's wedding attire was also red, but it differed slightly in material and style; it was not made of fine brocade, but rather red silk and gauze.
This puts a man's physique to the test, because he can easily appear short, stout, and bloated if he's not careful.
Xiao Ji, on the other hand, had no such concerns. He was tall, slender, and strong, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs.
She'd look good even if she wore a burlap sack.
The woman in red was also quite amazed. If it weren't for the rules, she would have even wanted to remove her husband's veil to see his face and demeanor.
"How much longer do we have to watch?" Xiao Ji asked impatiently.
The woman in red suddenly came to her senses, lowered her head awkwardly, and said, "The embroiderer originally made a mistake with the groom's measurements, making it two inches too big. I didn't expect it to fit perfectly. I'll help the groom take off his wedding clothes."
Xiao Ji said without any politeness, "You touched my body, does your Holy Maiden know?"
The woman in red choked.
Serving you is our duty, but now that you've said that, I'm suddenly a little hesitant.
Xiao Ji said calmly, "Go out. My men will bring you the wedding dress in a little while."
The woman in red responded with a "yes" and turned to leave.
She muttered to herself, "My husband comes from a humble background. I didn't take him seriously at first, but his aura is just too strong."
After retrieving her wedding dress, she took it to the inner sanctum of the saintess.
The Holy Maiden meditates and prays for the Eastern Barbarians every day, and today is no exception.
The woman in red dared not disturb her and waited for an hour before the saintess came out of the prayer hall.
The pure and immaculate saintess was dressed in white, with a slender waist and a white veil covering her face, revealing only a pair of arrogant and aloof eyes.
The woman in red bowed to her and said, "Holy Maiden."
The saintess glanced at her indifferently and asked, "Hongluan, is there something you need from me waiting here?"
Hongluan said, "My husband has already tried on the wedding clothes, and the size is just right."
"That's good." The saintess's emotions didn't change much.
The saintess's wedding was simply her duty; she was to give birth to a suitable heir for the Holy Maiden Temple, nothing more.
Seeing that Hongluan hadn't moved, she couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
“Well…” Hongluan thought for a moment, then told the truth, “Holy Maiden, I know this marriage is not what you wanted. If you don’t get married soon, you may become the king’s woman. But you may have really made the right choice this time. Husband… very good.”
"Is that so?" The saintess walked expressionlessly to her dressing table and glanced at the phoenix coronet and wedding robes placed on the stool beside her.
Hongluan came to her side and said, "Holy Maiden, you will like your husband."
“You rarely praise men,” the saint said.
Hongluan said honestly, "Because my lord... deserves this praise."
The saintess turned and glanced at her: "I'm curious what he looks like that you're praising him so highly. Anyway, bring him to see me."
"yes!"
A quarter of an hour later, Hongluan appeared at Xiao Ji's door.
Xiao Ji bolted the door, preventing her from entering; she reported this from outside.
Princess Xinyang frowned and said in a low voice, "Why does the Holy Maiden summon you so late? Could it be that she has discovered something?"
Xiao Ji thought about it carefully and didn't think he had given himself away. If he had to say he had, it would be that he was covered in wounds and had some traces of wound medicine and blood.
However, the Saintess Palace was filled with incense, and the rich fragrance had long since masked his scent.
Xiao Ji said casually, "It's nothing. I'll go meet her first and find Xiao Ming's antidote while I'm at it."
The poison that Xiao Ming was poisoned with came from the Holy Maiden Palace.
"Be careful," Princess Xinyang cautioned.
Seeing her worried expression, Xiao Ji inexplicably felt like teasing her again: "Qin Fengwan, are you worried about my safety, or are you worried that I'll stay overnight in another woman's room?"
Princess Xinyang remained silent.
Xiao Ji raised an eyebrow, propped himself up on the table, and stood up: "Ah, that's true, anyway you don't care."
After saying that, he pretended to walk out the door, shaking his head and sighing as he went.
Princess Xinyang knew he was doing it on purpose, but she still couldn't help but reach out and grab his sleeve.
Xiao Ji tilted his head slightly, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Her gaze flickered, but she didn't look at him. Instead, she stared at the spotless floor in front of her and whispered, "You're not allowed to spend the night in another woman's room."
Xiao Ji asked her, "Is it not allowed tonight, or not allowed at all in the future?"
Princess Xinyang cleared her throat and said without changing her expression, "From now on... it's not allowed."
Xiao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.
This request is outrageous. She was the one who said she wouldn't interfere with him before, and now she's the one who wants to control him.
She was so thoroughly humiliated that even she felt extremely ashamed.
Princess Xinyang thought he would take the opportunity to say to her, "Give me a reason," or "Qin Fengwan, what makes you think you have the right to do this?" Little did she know that she was wrong about everything.
He turned around, raised his well-defined hand, and gently pinched her chin.
He then leaned down and, under her bewildered gaze, forcefully sealed her lips with his.
The unexpected kiss left her completely stunned. Her long eyelashes trembled innocently, and her heart raced as she breathed heavily, feeling his domineering demands.
When he let go, her head was spinning, and her whole face turned bright red.
He stared intently at her, his expression clear: "Qin Fengwan, there's a price to pay for monopolizing me. I might do things to you that go even further than this. Not just talk, do you understand?"
Princess Xinyang was stunned.
Xiao Ji didn't immediately press her for an answer.
They hadn't actually had any real consensual sex yet; she had been drugged both nights, and under those circumstances, she gave herself to him.
It wasn't something she did willingly.
She loathed him and pushed him away time and time again.
He could refrain from doing anything excessive to her.
But somehow, she began to accept him and get closer to him.
He's not a saint, so how could he possibly control himself and only try things out every time?
Or does she have to take medication every time?
Xiao Ji went to meet the Holy Maiden.
Princess Xinyang sat in her room, lost in thought.
