“long chen, do i look pretty with the phoenix hairpin?” xia youluo turned her head back and forth slowly. she looked at long chen expectantly.
“even if you didn’t wear them, you’d still be very beautiful.”
long chen smiled. xia youluo truly was very beautiful. although she couldn’t compare to meng qi or tang wan-er, she was definitely a figure capable of bringing about the downfall of a nation. furthermore, she possessed an innate air of nobility which made her even more attractive.
“hehe, i’m happy you’re learning how to talk properly.” xia youluo smiled excitedly, giving long chen some rare praise.
“are you saying i didn’t know how to talk properly before?” demanded long chen.
“hehe, for some unknown reason, i’m happiest when i’m with you.” xia youluo smiled.
“oh? were you not happy just now?” asked long chen.
xia youluo turned red. looking at han wenjun’s back, she whispered, “i used to really like him. sometimes i even dreamed about him. so i was happy to see him and extremely excited to receive a gift from him. however, i don’t know why, but i feel a kind of pressure at the same time that makes my heart uneasy. i think i’m afraid.”
“afraid of what?” asked long chen curiously.
“i’m not sure. but while being with him does make me very excited, it also gives me a feeling of unease. but being with you, although i’m not happy or excited, i feel very peaceful. it’s a very warm kind of feeling.” xia youluo looked at long chen with a smile.
long chen raged, “tch, do you know how to talk properly? being with me doesn’t make you happy or excited? then what are you doing entangling me?! hmph, i’m mad now. if you’re so unhappy, then hand over the wine i gave you.”
xia youluo smiled at long chen who feigned anger. today, she had finally seen the han wenjun she had been thinking about day and night, but now that she did, she felt a strange feeling.
she had always greatly adored han wenjun. her room was even filled with portraits of him. she was infatuated with the romantic stories that came from the grand han, and she also longed to have a warm, intimate man looking after her.
as the princess of the grand xia, she didn’t have many close relationships. her father and mother were all busy with politics, while her brothers and sisters were focused on cultivation and studying the ways to rule a nation. the only one who she could count on to spend time with her was her brother xia yunchong.
but a big brother’s love was not enough for a young maiden in the springtime of her youth. the first time she saw that grand, handsome, and tender han wenjun, she had been left with a deep impression and unable to extricate herself from it.
then she had become engrossed with the romantic stories that circulated out of the grand han. she had longed even more for those kinds of intense romantic feelings.
but long chen’s arrival had unconsciously changed her thoughts. long chen was incomparably domineering and didn’t pamper her at all. he would scold her, curse her, and make her cry several times out of anger.
and yet he also treated her especially well sometimes. he had been willing to split half of that incredibly precious wine with her, making her exceptionally grateful.
furthermore, he was like a deep well. he didn’t look very conspicuous on the outside, and yet no one could tell how deep he was. as someone who dared to swindle the wine god palace’s people of their wine, he had to have huge guts.
the more she was with long chen, the less she understood him. he was like a riddle that made her want to solve him.
he was sometimes domineering, sometimes amiable, sometimes petty, sometimes magnanimous. sometimes a sentence from him would make her laugh, and sometimes it would make her cry.
“um... long chen and my friend argued a bit before. her name is... li wanji...” han wenjun also didn’t quite know how to explain it, so he did it very vaguely.
hearing her name, xia yunfeng and xia yunchong both realized what was going on. but the others still didn’t quite understand.
“this matter was my mistake. i did not know miss wanji’s name. i apologize.” xia yunfeng magnanimously took the blame.
but in reality, he was speechless inside. who had come up with this name? was it to intentionally cause trouble with his grand xia?
“crown prince, this matter has nothing to do with you. it is long chen who went too far. moreover, it just so happens that it’s a tradition to have a martial competition before a feast. i simply wonder whether long chen will agree to exchange some pointers with li wanji or not,” said han wenjun.
to have a martial competition before the feast was in reality a friendly exchange of pointers to see who was stronger. the four ancient nations had truly done such things in the past.
but in the past few years, such martial competitions had grown rarer, and they were replaced with different events.
furthermore, a competition on this level was extremely rare. li wanji was a rank eight celestial, while long chen’s power was also explosive. once they fought, it probably wouldn’t be so simple as exchanging pointers, especially considering li wanji’s current expression.
“this isn’t really appropriate. it could harm our friendship.” xia yunfeng shook his head.
“it’s just a way to liven things up. both sides are aggrieved, so why not have a little fight? however, ten exchanges is the limit. if a victor is not determined by then, it’ll count as a draw.” han wenjun smiled.
“in truth, long chen is also a guest of my grand xia, and i cannot decide this for him.” xia yunfeng shook his head.
“long chen, if you’re a man, you’ll get up and fight me. don’t cower like a turtle in its shell.” li wanji stood up and pointed at long chen.
“this person goes too far. how can she point at others like this? long chen, go put her away.” now, even xia youluo found this unacceptable. although she was willful, she knew she couldn’t point at others when speaking at them. that was an insult, so she encouraged long chen to fight.
right now, everyone was looking at long chen. long chen lazily stood up and stretched. looking at li wanji, he said, “why bother? from the start, i never said anything that went overboard toward you. is it worth it for you to persistently force me until i have no choice but to fight you? intentionally angering me won’t bring you any benefits.”
“hmph, there’s no need to say so much. you disgust me, and i have to properly teach you a lesson today,” sneered li wanji.
“you have to teach everyone who disgusts you a lesson? do you like being disgusted? since you want to fight, then i’ll accompany you. however, when you embarrass yourself, don’t cry.” long chen slowly stood up.
“you’re the one who will be crying.” li wanji smiled coldly upon seeing long chen agree to her challenge.
“don’t try to kill him. just make him lose face. you can’t kill people here.” han wenjun sent li wanji a secret transmission.
“understood. i won’t kill him. i’ll make sure to only cut off a single arm,” replied li wanji, a ruthless gleam in her eyes.
“since both parties consent, let’s start. don’t do anything that would harm our friendship,” said xia yunfeng.
two balls of light appeared in the palace hall, enveloping the two of them. they suddenly appeared on an ancient martial stage.
he uses the same expression used a few chapters ago, ri li wan ji, which sounds the same as have sex with li wanji.
