Chapter 421: Chapter 420: Call me Fourth Loyal Brother, and you are mine

"Found it in a mountain cave."

Feng Yexuan stared at her suddenly pallid face, his eyes narrowing slightly, the color in them deepening.

"Why are you so nervous? Do you recognize Long Xiyue?"

Chu Qianli opened her mouth, but she couldn’t speak clearly.

She couldn’t possibly tell him that she was the daughter of Long Xiyue.

She didn’t have many impressions of him, all of her memories were gone, she only knew that he was the War God of Beiming Country, Prince Xuan.

She couldn’t let him know about her.

Yet...

"Why did you go to that cave?" she asked quietly.

"When I rescued you before, I found a portrait in the cave," he replied.

Feng Yexuan moved a step closer, scrutinizing her face intently. He suddenly said, "I can recognize her, the person in the painting, it’s your mother, Long Qianyue."

"What?" It was that painting! Indeed, a painting!

In her mind, there had always been some lingering things. She had felt that there should be two paintings, but she couldn’t recall who was in them.

Now that he mentioned it, some images suddenly came flooding back to her.

She saw the portrait in the Xianlan Palace of Consort Yu.

And, Consort Yu indeed took her to a cave, the very same cave, which also had a portrait.

Two different portraits, both depicting... the same person...

Long Xiyue.

No, he said it was Long Qianyue...

"Ugh..." Chu Qianli suddenly clutched her head, her legs gave way, and she nearly knelt down.

Feng Yexuan stepped forward and caught her: "Why kneel before me? Do you want this token?"

Eh? She wanted the token, so, kneel before him?

Chu Qianli felt her senses were playing tricks on her, unable to respond for a moment.

However, Feng Yexuan didn’t seem to care at all. After she steadied herself, he let her go.

He glanced at the token tightly grasped in her hand and hummed, "Long Xiyue has been missing for many years, and the court of Longteng Country has long changed."

"This token is of no use to me. If you like it, take it to play with. Why kneel?"

He turned and walked forward. Was he truly not interested in the token?

But didn’t he find it strange?

He saw the portrait of Long Qianyue in the cave, yet he also found Long Xiyue’s token.

He wasn’t going to investigate further? Not even asking her why she recognized Long Xiyue?

Was his intelligence deteriorating, or was hers inexplicably diminishing?

Some things she just couldn’t understand...

"Aren’t you leaving, waiting for those Imperial Guards to come after you?"

The man walking ahead spoke with slight impatience.

"Uh... leaving, leaving now." He didn’t even ask why she was here?

Forget it, Chu Qianli decided not to think about these things.

After all, finding Long Xiyue’s token had already filled her with immense gratitude.

As for that cave...

"No, I must take another look." She had only chased after him for a few steps before stopping.

"There’s nothing else inside but a grave that held this token. By now, that empty grave has surely been dug up beyond recognition; you won’t see anything useful if you go back."

An empty grave that contained this token...

Chu Qianli looked down at the token in her hand.

Long Xiyue...

Consort Yu really knew Long Xiyue; in fact, she had been worshipping her for many years.

What exactly was Consort Yu’s true identity before becoming a consort?

What was her relationship with Long Xiyue, and why had she been worshipping her all this time?

Could it be, they were friends?

"Then I..."

"We’ll talk when we get back," Feng Yexuan quickened his pace.

With no alternative, Chu Qianli managed one more glance at Long Xiyue’s token before tucking it away and quickly following him.

This dense forest still had a somewhat eerie aura.

She quickly caught up with Feng Yexuan, whispering, "Prince..."

"Not calling me ’Fourth Royal Brother’ like Wuya?" Feng Yexuan snorted.

Chu Qianli almost rolled her eyes at him.

This man was really petty.

In a huff, she called out, "Fourth Royal Brother!"

Feng Yexuan pursed his lips tightly, livid to the extreme, yet suddenly laughed coldly, "Fine, from now on, call me Fourth Royal Brother. If there’s a day you don’t, I’ll have someone spank you!"

"..." Is he insane or what? Should she get him some medicine to take?

"Got a problem with that?" Feng Yexuan suddenly halted, turned back, and stared at her, "Hmm?"

He was clearly angry.

Chu Qianli wasn’t willing to give in either and coldly snorted, "No problem! After all, once I marry Wuya, I’ll have to call you Fourth Royal Brother anyway. I’m just starting earlier!"

She secretly stomped her foot, unsure why she was stooping to his level, but was just feeling a bit wilful, repeating a few times, "Fourth Royal Brother, Fourth Royal Brother, Fourth Royal Brother!"

What a brat!

Feng Yexuan tried to laugh it off but abruptly made a dash back towards her.

The move nearly scared Chu Qianli to death!

Such terrifying speed!

Before she even had time to take a breath, he was already in front of her.

She couldn’t back away in time.

Feng Yexuan scooped her up in his arms, "Walking so slowly, do you plan to delay me, getting us discovered by the Imperial Guards?"

"I... hey!" As if scooping her up wasn’t enough, he actually hoisted her onto his shoulder.

"Hey!"

"What are you calling me?"

"Prince... Fourth Royal Brother!" Damn it, head down, bottom up, so embarrassing!

"Put me down, I can walk by myself."

"You walk too slowly!" He moved forward, heading towards the Prince Residence.

"You’re going even slower now!" So, this guy wasn’t in a hurry at all, he was doing it on purpose!

"I am pleased to!"

"Let me..."

"Do you want me to drag you by your legs?" Feng Yexuan stopped, looked down at her flushed face, "Hmm? Care to try?"

"You’re a pervert!"

"Hmm?" He raised an eyebrow.

"No, nothing, I was saying you’re very handsome." She almost gagged.

But dragged by her legs? No, no, very unseemly.

She had every reason to believe that this tyrannical and domineering Prince Yexuan could do as he said he would.

Better to avoid provoking him.

"Um... Fourth Royal Brother, can you put me down? I promise I can keep up with your pace, okay?"

She twisted her fingers, a pitiful look on her face, "Walking like this, my stomach... it feels terrible, and I’m afraid that I might accidentally vomit and get it all over you?"

Feng Yexuan instantly felt disgusted and tossed her into the air.

Chu Qianli felt a surge of joy as she finally landed steadily on the ground and immediately wanted to step back.

"If you get three steps away from me, I will immediately hoist you up and carry you."

"Why?" She complained but obediently moved back to his side, within three steps!

She didn’t want to be carried again; both her head and her stomach had suffered enough.

"Since you call me Fourth Royal Brother, you are my responsibility to protect."

"I’m not..."

"Hmm?"

"Yes, Fourth Royal Brother, you’re right, everything you say is right, haha."

When one day her martial arts skills surpass his, she’ll carry him on her shoulder like a sandbag and let him experience the feeling of being upside down!

Hmph!

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, the man walking ahead suddenly came to a halt.
