Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 474 - 473: At Least, She’s Smiling Genuinely in Front of Him Now

Chapter 474: Chapter 473: At Least, She’s Smiling Genuinely in Front of Him Now

Outside the cave, the howling of wolves rose again.

Chu Qianli hid near the entrance of the cave and listened for a while. The sound of the howls gradually drew closer, but they never dared to come over.

A chill came from behind, and she suddenly turned around, only to see that Feng Yexuan had actually gotten up.

"Fourth Brother..."

Feng Yexuan gestured with his eyes, signaling her not to make a sound.

Still, Chu Qianli was anxious inside. He was so injured, and now he was standing up. It was fortunate he hadn’t fainted from blood loss as he got up!

If not, wherever he knocked into or fell, it wouldn’t be light.

"Fourth Brother, they dare not come over," Chu Qianli said, walking to his side and lowering her voice.

"I scattered sulfur powder outside the cave, so even poisonous insects and ants won’t come near. This fire should be able to keep the wolves at bay, but..."

Feng Yexuan didn’t speak and just stared down at her face.

Chu Qianli whispered, "If the wolves have found this place, those Fuso ninjas behind them must know we’re here too."

"Given the sheer cliffs, they probably can’t get down, but once we try to climb up tomorrow, they will definitely find a way to besiege us."

Chu Qianli glanced at him.

He was still wrapped in that dirty robe.

She hurriedly said, "Take off your clothes. The ones I bought you last time, you haven’t worn them all yet."

Then, from the Universe Chain, she retrieved the clothes, stripped off the robe from his body, and immediately dressed him.

But before she had finished dressing him, Chu Qianli felt something was off.

Why were her movements while serving him so natural and skilled, and why did they feel so casual?

"Fourth Brother..."

"Facing a formidable enemy, you still dare to let your mind wander?"

"They don’t dare to come in." So, tonight, it should be safe.

But what about tomorrow? How do we get up there?

Upon climbing, there would be wolves and Fuso ninjas.

"Don’t you have something that can fly?" What’s there to fear?

"A hot air balloon?" Right! She had a hot air balloon! What was there to fear?

"I’ve got it!" Chu Qianli suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.

Feng Yexuan raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on her hands as she helped him dress.

Her service was indeed quite natural. This silly woman, at least in this regard, didn’t make things too uncomfortable for people.

On the contrary, she had forgotten those past events that had cut her to the bone, forgotten the grudges and emotions once shared between them. Now, her mind when facing him was much simpler.

Feng Yexuan’s mood was not only complicated but also somewhat conflicted.

She had forgotten her feelings for him, but at the same time, she also had forgotten the hatred she once had for him.

When there was no longer a burden in her heart, her presence before him was clear and transparent, casual and comfortable.

As long as he didn’t do anything that forced her, she would look up to him with a bit of respect for an older brother.

Occasionally, though, she would become infatuated with his body...

Why did he suddenly feel that using the Soul Captivating Technique on her might not be such a bad thing?

Now, when she smiled at him, it was so comfortable and relaxed, unlike the past when she was restrained and reserved.

He didn’t allow her to call him Prince, permitting her only to call him Fourth Brother. Initially, he didn’t understand why he insisted on this.

Eventually, he gradually understood.

Calling him Prince, he became an outsider.

Calling him Fourth Brother, at least, she still regarded him as family, as one of her own.

"What did you think of?" he asked.

"We can go directly to Langya Peak by hot air balloon."

That way, those ninjas, wolves, and such would pose no trouble for them at all.

"Taking the hot air balloon, you won’t have to endure the pain of traveling, and it will be good for your body!"

Why hadn’t she thought of it before!

"Aren’t you afraid of falling halfway?" Feng Yexuan was still somewhat reluctant towards something that could fly in mid-air.

"Don’t worry, I’ll figure out a way to get a couple of parachutes right away."

It’s just that it might be quite expensive.

She didn’t have much money left, not even enough to buy the surgical equipment for Wuya’s operation.

But, to ensure safety, two parachutes were essential.

Unable to find professional ones on Taobao, Chu Qianli could only leave a message for her senior brother on WeChat:

"I need two parachutes, senior brother, please make sure to buy them for me as soon as possible."

Afterwards, she dragged Feng Yexuan back to the bed she had prepared.

"Get some sleep early, recover quickly, and once the parachutes arrive, we’ll set off."

...

In the end, Feng Wuya still moved into the Princess Residence.

After entering, he went straight to the chamber Long Xinghe had arranged for him and had not come out since.

Actually, it was still early, but since he was unwilling to come out, Long Xinghe could do nothing about it.

She had said it herself, not to disturb his peace.

"I apologize, Princess, our Prince... truly isn’t used to socializing with young ladies."

The Prince could be stubborn, but Tie Xin could not.

Knowing they were under someone else’s roof, they had to be respectful.

So Tie Xin hurriedly explained, "I really can’t persuade the Prince, and if he gets unhappy, he might leave at any time. I’m helpless in this, please forgive us, Princess."

Long Xinghe was always lenient with Feng Wuya’s people.

She nodded and said, "It’s alright, since I’ve said I won’t force him, I will definitely not make him uncomfortable while he stays here."

Although she had known him for only a short time, Long Xinghe was already somewhat familiar with Feng Wuya’s temperament.

If Feng Wuya suddenly became warm towards her, she might actually be suspicious, wondering if it was some kind of trap?

His current indifference was his true nature.

"It’s fine, I have plenty of patience for Wuya, and I will wait for the moment he comes out to meet me on his own initiative."

After Long Xinghe had someone send tea and snacks to Feng Wuya, she gave one more glance at the tightly closed door before leaving.

She just didn’t expect that right after leaving the west wing, she would run into someone from the palace.

"Grand Princess, the Empress has heard that Prince Xiaoyao has moved into the Princess Residence. Her Majesty wishes for the Prince to visit the palace, to exchange knowledge on the etiquette between our two nations."

Long Xinghe’s expression instantly turned somber, displeased she said, "The Prince is tired and is currently resting. Please go back and inform Her Majesty, once the Prince’s health has improved, I will naturally accompany him to the palace to offer our respects to Her Majesty."

"This..." The minor palace official who came to invite him was in a difficult position, "Her Majesty said... it is of utmost importance that the Prince visits the palace. Grand Princess, this... this is difficult for me to manage."

Everyone knew the Empress had a difficult temper.

Long Xinghe naturally understood as well.

Serving the monarch is like accompanying a tiger.

Although the Empress had only one daughter, if she committed an error grave enough for Her Majesty to become utterly intolerant, then this sole daughter might not be the true heir after all.

In the Imperial Family, familial affection was indifferent; Her Majesty could find another obedient heir at any time.

If it were any other matter, Long Xinghe would not have dared to contradict Her Majesty too much before she had the power to stand against Her Majesty.

However, regarding Wuya... concerning Wuya, she could not yield on this matter!

Long Xinghe said in a cold voice, "I, myself, shall enter the palace to see Her Majesty."
