Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Don’t Call Out, I Can’t Hold Back Anymore

Li Chengyuan, in a fit of rage, killed a maid in the City Lord Residence.

When the maid died, her mouth was covered with blisters from burns, and there were marks of restraint on her neck, visible to all, her death was a tragic sight.

This incident successfully incited public outrage.

Ji Yuntai could never have imagined that the once peaceful City Lord Residence would lose its tranquility completely over one woman.

In the dim room.

Li Chengyuan curled up into a ball, shaking her head frantically and saying, "It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me, I didn’t kill the person."

Even though everyone in the City Lord Residence saw it, she still wouldn’t admit that the maid had died by her hand.

This woman was beyond redemption.

Her malice and stupidity were engraved in her bones, her selfishness was innate.

When the midwife left her room and confirmed to everyone that her unborn child was still there, the expressions on their faces varied.

"Prince sure knows how to play the game," Yan Wanqing said with sarcasm as she walked away.

Xiao Hongshen’s face was as dark as ink.

After everyone had left, he kicked open the door and walked in.

Seeing him enter, Li Chengyuan opened her arms with tears in her eyes "Your Highness, hold me."

Hold your head.

At that moment, Xiao Hongshen only wanted to strangle the woman in front of him.

"I will ask you something, and you’d better answer truthfully next," he said.

Seeing Xiao Hongshen’s coldness, Li Chengyuan immediately realized he must have heard some rumors from outside, and tears fell down instantly.

"After going through so much together, I thought our relationship was firm, but I didn’t expect that at the first sign of trouble, Your Highness would choose to believe these strangers instead of me..." As she spoke, she cried pitifully, like a pear blossom bathed in rain.

Looking at the continuously sobbing frail figure, Xiao Hongshen felt somewhat shaken.

If it was indeed his own seed in the woman’s belly, then what she was saying could indeed move him.

But if it wasn’t his seed in her belly, then he was already wearing a towering green hat at this very moment, and it belonged to a dead man.

Xiao Hongshen’s face was somber, and he remained silent.

Li Chengyuan got up and pushed him directly, "If Your Highness doesn’t trust me, there’s no need to question me further. It’s just a matter of a bowl of medicine; let’s just say there was no fate with this child."

Xiao Hongshen, feeling quite guilty, said, "I haven’t even said a word yet, and you’ve already assumed so much."

"What else could it be?" Li Chengyuan said, frustrated, "Your attitude just now clearly wasn’t on my side. Since that’s the case, why should I bother with this aggravation? It might as well end - it’s our poor fate as mother and child."

"Don’t talk like that, be careful not to upset the baby," Xiao Hongshen sighed and took her into his arms.

With that hug, he missed the cunning glint in Li Chengyuan’s eyes.

To be honest, as the child’s mother, she herself didn’t know who the father was, but in ancient times, the only way to prove a child’s identity was through the crude method of blood testing, so after realizing this, Li Chengyuan found she had nothing to fear.

If the child was aborted, she could make the Prince feel guilty forever and, with that guilt, always treat her well.

If the child was born, then he would be the legitimate eldest son of the Prince’s household, with a noble and respected status. There was even less to fear.

Xiao Hongshen had no idea about the schemes the woman in his arms was plotting.

But what he was thinking was, if the child was born even slightly unlike him, he would direct the midwife to strangle it in the swaddling clothes.

The two hugged each other with ulterior motives in their hearts.

...

It was during training that Yan Wanqing received the news that the entire Bai Village chief’s family had been wiped out; the people she had sent had failed to arrive in time.

By the time they got there, the entire village, including the Mountain God Temple, had been covered by a great fire.

Not a single survivor was left in the entire village.

Speaking of ruthlessness,

It was Xiao Hongshen who was truly merciless.

Yan Wanqing laughed at herself, tearing the letter in her hands into pieces, opening her hand, and letting the wind scatter the fragments into every corner of the training ground.

On her way back from training, she saw Xiao Pingfeng, whom she hadn’t seen for many days.

Gesang had been finding excuses to visit the City Lord Residence and chat with Ji Yuntai, but Xiao Pingfeng was nowhere to be seen. Busy with military affairs, Yan Wanqing had not managed to inquire about his whereabouts.

But upon this encounter, she noticed that Xiao Pingfeng had many wounds on his body.

And following behind him was a silver wolf.

"What’s this?" Yan Wanqing soothed the horse that was startled by the Wolf King.

Xiao Pingfeng stroked the Wolf King’s head, "The same one that injured you before."

"So you’ve been looking for it these past few days?" Yan Wanqing frowned.

Xiao Pingfeng chuckled, "Couldn’t swallow the insult, so I beat it up and brought it to you. Do you want to kill it to make a scarf, or kill it for its meat?"

The Wolf King, quite displeased with these two sentences, let out a disgruntled howl.

It whimpered and looked at Yan Wanqing, its eyes filled with resentment.

Last time, it hadn’t killed this human in front of it either.

Why was this human so ungrateful, even letting her man come and give it a beatdown and kidnap it?

The Wolf King was covered with wounds, and its fur was stained with blood.

It seemed Xiao Pingfeng and it had had quite the fierce battle.

"Like a little kid." Yan Wanqing took out golden sore medicine from her bosom and forcibly pressed Xiao Pingfeng to sit on the ground, applying the medicine to his wounds.

After tending to the larger ones, she turned to the Wolf King, "There’s a little left. Do you want some applied to you as well?"

The Wolf King, true to its perceptive nature, didn’t make a fuss, and directly walked over to lie down in front of Yan Wanqing, waiting for her to treat its wounds.

If it was being treated, it meant this human female didn’t intend to kill it for its meat or covet its fur.

"All done." Yan Wanqing rubbed the Wolf King’s fluffy head and told it to get up.

Xiao Pingfeng placed his chin on Yan Wanqing’s neck and took a greedy breath, wrapping his arms around her from behind, "What do you want to do with it after all?"

"Set it free. I’m not much interested in killing these days," Yan Wanqing said, her lips curving into a slight smile.

After the affair with the elder of Bai Village, she had already fallen into a frenzy once before.

Now she needed to cultivate her mind and body and couldn’t let herself fall into that state again.

"This Western Expedition, your seventh brother also came," Yan Wanqing said.

Xiao Pingfeng, without lifting his eyelids, said, "He must’ve annoyed you recently, right? Want me to go finish him off for you?"

"Killing him is inevitable, but not now," Yan Wanqing had her own plans in mind. In her previous life, she had been tormented inhumanely because of Xiao Hongshen. Since being reborn, she wanted Xiao Hongshen to taste that anguish too.

"He has a remarkably strong life force, not easy to get rid of," Xiao Pingfeng rarely commented on Xiao Hongshen.

Just like an earthworm in the dark soil, even if a piece is cut off, it can still survive.

"What are you still doing here? Hurry back to your wolf pack," Yan Wanqing suddenly saw that the Wolf King was still lying nearby and exclaimed in surprise.

The Wolf King glanced at Yan Wanqing, yawned, and actually closed its eyes right there.

"What does it mean by this? It doesn’t want to leave?!" Yan Wanqing couldn’t quite believe it; the Wolf King that had fought with her to the death before was now lying obediently by her side after being beaten by Xiao Pingfeng, like a loyal dog.

The sight was indeed quite incongruous.

"Scram." Xiao Pingfeng stretched out his foot and kicked the Wolf King, who opened his eyes reluctantly and then got up and left.

The Wolf King still listened to the man who had defeated it.

Once Xiao Pingfeng spoke, it ran away swiftly.

Yan Wanqing covered her mouth in amusement at this scene.

Xiao Pingfeng, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, couldn’t help but undergo a change in his body, and soon Yan Wanqing was unable to laugh, licking her lips awkwardly.

"Um..." she began softly.

The man behind her sighed, his tone very innocent, "I just miss you too much."

"Tell him to restrain himself, this is still outside," Yan Wanqing’s face turned red as a shrimp.

Xiao Pingfeng, however, took his chance, "So not outside, in the house, it would be okay?"

"Have you no shame!" Yan Wanqing scolded.

The man nuzzled her neck and said in a hoarse voice, "In front of you, I’ve long been without such a thing as shame."

"Xiao Pingfeng!" Yan Wanqing didn’t dare to move, calling out in an annoyed and embarrassed rage.

"Don’t keep shouting my name, or I really won’t be able to control myself," came the man’s hoarse and restrained voice in her ear.

Heaven knows, with a heart full of tender feelings, how hard it was for him to restrain himself.

This woman had no idea how strong her allure was to him!
