Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 439: Chapter 272: If She’s in a Good Mood, Let Her Be a Concubine

"Rest assured, it’s not over yet."

"The matter with that little princess has been resolved, with Sister’s temperament, she’s probably already taking that girl to the capital of Country Liang by now, even if it’s mutual consent, you still have to inform the family, right..."

Watching the girl with the focused expression, the man wore a slightly helpless look.

Delicate and fair hands caressed the soft and fine fabric incessantly. Although the Southern Border couldn’t be considered backward, it was still incomparable to the resource-rich Central Plains, especially in terms of aesthetics, which lagged behind by more than just one grade.

Red is a symbol of good fortune and happiness in both the Central Plains and the Southern Border, especially when worn during marriage, attracting much attention. Lovingly touching the fabric, the design and appearance were very appealing, even Jiang Feng couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.

Speaking of which, he hadn’t even looked at this wedding outfit seriously after it was made.

"Yue Yue?"

Seeing the woman’s joyful appearance, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but ask.

"Ah? Oh, it’s nothing, keep talking, I’m listening. Wow, this fabric, this gold trim isn’t sewn on, it’s ironed on, with no seams and it doesn’t wrinkle, how did they do that?"

"..."

It was clear.

She didn’t take someone’s words to heart at all.

He sighed.

Wasn’t she just can’t live without Yan Yurou moments ago? How could she have forgotten it all in less than an hour?

About an hour ago, Cen Yueyue was in the bamboo forest, fighting evenly matched with Yan Yurou. They both went out early in the morning to visit the local Commandery Princess to find the whereabouts of the little princess.

As a result, after searching everywhere, they could only end up at the Commandery Princess’s estate. Later, Jiang Feng noticed someone behind him, and that’s why he deliberately led people outside the city. He had already guessed the subsequent development of events and deliberately diverted the Cen siblings.

But unexpectedly, Liang Yu, despite her young age, proved to be alarmingly astute. She had already guessed that Jiang Feng would refuse to fight, so she deliberately made those two women collide, giving Jiang Feng the reason he needed to act. Eventually, the battle was split into two fronts.

Both sides exerted their full strength in this battle, fighting desperately without holding back. The combatants had pushed their physical limits to the extreme, and for cultivators, who are also human, a protracted battle under immense pressure and evenly matched strength would be far more exhausting than sparring with sect peers at home for a day.

He reached out proactively, caressing the girl’s tender cheek a few times, even resting his fingers on the girl’s fair neck.

"What are you doing."

Cen Yueyue merely felt a bit ticklish and wriggled her neck, giving Jiang Feng an annoyed look and assumed a stance as if she was ready for action, even raising her small fists.

Her face spelled out a threat.

Although she had accepted it, the two of them hadn’t confirmed their relationship; this guy was already daring to get handsy with her. If they got married in the future, wouldn’t he have the audacity to...

"I’m not doing anything."

He blurted out.

Suddenly the atmosphere became tense and eerie.

The girl widened her eyes; she had been honest and upright all her life. She might seem playful and love causing trouble, but she was clueless about matters of men and women, had never even seen a lewd book, let alone experience the speed at which Jiang Feng could roll over her.

"Cough, what I mean is, I won’t do those messy things. How’s your recovery? When you were fighting in the bamboo forest, it was clear you were running out of strength towards the end."

His face turned red, then he quickly shifted the topic—it was an absolute reflex.

"After the fight, your face was as red as a roast duck, one night’s rest might not be enough. Maybe I should go alone tomorrow, after all, it’s Purple Cloud Palace’s business, you should rest up in the city."

His fingers carefully felt the girl’s neck; her breath was smooth and her pulse stable, but she was evidently still weak.

Within the human body is something called adrenaline, which comes into play when you need to push beyond your physical limits, enabling you to unleash far more power than your body’s potential.

But of course, there’s a price to pay—after using this strength, you fall into a temporary period of weakness. For an ordinary person, it might take days to recover, but considering Cen Yueyue’s superior constitution, conservatively, she would need a day’s rest.

Now he finally understood why Sister said the two of them were made for each other, a perfect match.

Both with outsider souls, both with power that didn’t belong to them but could be freely controlled, feeling the drained physical strength within their bodies, even the aftereffects post-fight were so similar.

"No problem, I often end up like this due to Cultivation of Li Fire, don’t worry, sleep on it and I’ll be fine. Wow, how was this exquisite craftsmanship achieved? Look at this pattern, it’s all embroidered bit by bit."

"That woman actually had the nerve to fight in these clothes, such a waste. If it were me, I’d definitely hang it at home and wouldn’t wear it out unless it’s a special occasion."

"Hmph, but that woman did know better, realizing she couldn’t beat me, she just smartly beat it. Speaking of which, you two are really outrageous, just a small Qingshui County, two childhood sweethearts, and each turned out more formidable than the other."

"Anyone who didn’t know better might think you’re the reincarnation of some Great Emperor of the Human Clan."

She spoke offhand, but her small hands didn’t stop, still feeling the texture in her hand, oblivious to what she had said.

"..."

And so it became a prophecy.
