The Princess said that she was thirsty, so I brought over a pot of wine. She imdiately took a hearty swig.
I finally got the Princess to reveal why she thought I was into guys after I continuously pestered her, "I contemplated and hesitated about teaming up with you to deal with Jin Wangsun for a long ti. Therefore, I investigated you before I approached you. It's a sha to say this, but I couldn't find out anything about you in the pugilistic world, so I had to ask the people within the vicinity of the Imperial Palace."
And so, the Princess' information on was learnt through the people I'd t and conversed with before.
Below is the insider information that she dug up.
"He likes n. I, personally, witnessed it before. Not only were there sparks between him and his colleague, but he even… k-… … he… Cough, cough, in short, he likes n. There's no question about it." - General Manager Bai
"Oh my, that would never escape these eyes of mine. I scanned him with my eyes at first sight. My, my, his toughness is just his front to hide the emptiness he feels in his heart." - General Manager Wang
"One-hundred percent! I can vouch for it with my life!" - Person with the surna Liu from Liu Shan n.
"Ming Feizhen? He's a sly one. He's always scamming for wine. Being generous, I let him have his way. Huh? Does he like n or not? Well, that's hard to say. Erm, but he's always coming and going with n accompanying him. Does that count as a clue?" - Cleaner Huang from Liu Shan n.
"I get along very well with Big Brother Ming. We eat and sleep together every day. Hmm? He lives next door to . That counts as sleeping together, doesn't it? Hahaha. Oh, that's what you were talking about? Mm… I strongly suspect that he and Tang Ye have sothing going on between them, because they always discuss things behind my back and claim I cause trouble. In my opinion, that's just an excuse. I'm sure that Big Brother Ming and Tang Ye have sothing going on." - Person with the surna Su from Liu Shan n.
'God, that's a lot of fucking bullshiiiiiiittt!!!'
'Your Highness, I'm amazed by how you managed to pick every single bullsh*t artist for questioning! The first two you asked were wrong! I admit to the incident with General Manager Bai, but as for Eunuch Wang, that's clearly his own imagination, okay?!!'
'Don't go judging Liu Yuan by his upright and honest appearance. He's jealous that Su Xiao won't give him attention! He's the one that's gay!! Gramps Huang, don't take advantage of the situation to seek revenge on just because I beat you at dice gas!! Liu Shan n's constables move together, and the female constables move together, too. What's so strange about being with other guys?! Su Xiao, you're the biggest bullsh*t artist in this story! How in the world did it beco X Tang Ye?! If that was the case, it'd be X Su Xiao, too! Wait, what the fuck did I just say?! I'm not gay!!'
"Really?"
The Princess, who was holding a cup of wine, was sowhat drunk. She widened her eyes to look at then she suddenly giggled as she usually would.
'That was you mocking ! You're the serious as a judge type. Why did you suddenly giggle that way?! It must be the wine, right?! You're a horrible drinker! That was less than three cups!'
"You're a funny one. You like him, yet he don't dare to admit it," the Princess' face was flush. She looked into my eyes. In a slightly sad tone, she said, "But I'm in the sa boat."
'… Our circumstances are different!'
'You have a crush on your nesis, while I'm falsely accused of liking n by you people!!'
The Princess ignored . She began to drink even faster.
"Did you know that my Second Brother… Orange Prince, used to always bully when we were kids. He said that I'm only good for training with a sabre, a dull brat. He tossed bugs into my clothes and pushed into a pond."
'I know that. He still loves bullying people, doesn't he? His bullying escapades went all the way to the Imperial Palace last month, and almost killed your dad. It was a big task to lock him up in prison. His pranks when he was young were quite cute, on the other hand. My Second Brother was the sa when he was young. He'd throw all sorts of stuff at people, push people off mountains and what have you. It seems that children are the sa no matter where they are.'
"But after he bullied , he'd bring so nice foods or fun things. Although he wouldn't say anything, I knew that it was his way of apologising. He's still the sa now. He occasionally wrote to . He didn't write much, but he'd always send things I like."
'Damn, he's a tsundere! I told you he was a tsundere!'
"That's why despite everybody hating him now, I know that Second Brother, he… isn't bad by nature. The main reason he committed such an atrocity was because Father gave him the cold shoulder when he was young. I, myself, don't know why Father treated us that way. Father doted on us, but for so reason, rarely spoke to my brothers. I know that he loved them, but when he went to express it, he'd say sothing else. He's doing the sa thing again with my marriage. Father doesn't dare to look at after deciding that he'd betroth to Jin Wangsun. He knows that his decision will let down, and hence why he can't face . But I know he's in a hopeless situation.
'Your entire family are all tsunderes! By the way, Your Highness, why have you suddenly brought up your personal story?"
"Do you know why?"
The Princess is terrible at holding her liquor, yet she finished the pot of wine in one go, "Because we're born into royalty! That's why we're forced to do things we don't want to!"
'Listening to her made sigh, as I rembered the outrageous things I did in the past, whether it was as the head disciple of Mount Daluo, as Lord San Shen of the Divine Moon Sect, or as the master of Night Fortress. I was never able to act according to my own will in any position, and hence my sighing.'
"Noblesse oblige. Life consists of things beyond one's control, so don't pay it too much mind."
'I have no clue why, but I suddenly rembered Shiyi. Second Brother and company ca, so she will probably co to, won't she?'
A faint heartache sensation instinctively surfaced.
With a helpless smile, I said, "One cannot act according to their will in the pugilistic world. That's how it's always been."
However, the Princess looked at . She was already totally drunk. She looked as though she wasn't listening to a thing I said. She aggressively pointed at and said, "Even when it cos to marriage, I have to… marry a gay first."
'Hey! Who you calling gay?! Who likes n?! Make yourself clear!'
"You don't like n?"
The Princess wriggled her seductive hips and looked at with her intoxicated eyes. Her snow-white small face was red from intoxication. Even her breath beca a llow scent. She laughed, and then grabbed my chin and lifted it similarly to when you tease a girl.
"Prove it to ."
"Huh?"
The Princess suddenly leaned in. Her hot lips exuded an alluring sll. When her breath hit my face, an intense urge I'd been having all night from the bottom of my heart surged up.
'I want to strip this beauty before .'
Her hot lips ca closer. We could feel each other's breaths. She went in for the kiss, but I caught the back of her collar and pulled her away a centitre before our lips made contact.
The Princess didn't react with surprise. Instead, she laughed aloud, "Hahahaha, and you claim you don't like n?"
'The usual serious and stern Princess undergoes a change in personality when she's drunk, I see. Luckily for you, I'm still rational; else, you'd have been taken advantage of.'
Feeling sorry for her to so degree, I stated, "Your Highness, I am not your crush. You are drunk."
She laughed, "I'm not drunk. I know that you don't actually like n, correct?"
"Huh?"
"I know that not only do you not like n, but are also actually heroic and incredible. You are hailed as a god in the Western Region. You must have countless beauties throwing themselves into your arms, right?"
The Princess gently took her eyes off . Her gaze was akin to a gentle pair of hands gently caressed my face. Her voice sounded similar to mumbling in one's sleep, "I'm not drunk. You… You're Lord San Shen… You're Lord San Shen…"
'How would I have ever imagined she'd see through now?!'
I instinctively let go of her. She imdiately threw herself onto my chest, but judging from her look, sothing didn't feel right.
Her face was totally red. Her heroic eyes were now narrowed into slits. She looked pitiful. There wasn't a tinge of a heroic aura from her.
Her entire body was burning and limp as if she didn't have bones. She was firmly plastered to my chest. Her breath was hot. She suddenly pulled my collar apart and furtively gave a kiss with her tender lips. And then she kissed again. Soon, my chest was alight with hot lip marks. While she was doing this inadvertently, that only made it that much more seductive.
She removed her tender lips from my chest, and replaced it with hot breaths when she muttered, "I don't know what the matter is with . I thought about you day and night ever since I first t you. I know that it's wrong. I'm the Second Princess of the Imperial Court, while you are the Demon Sect's Lord San Shen, but I can't forget you."
'This isn't the first ti a young girl has straight up confessed to ; however, I'm finding a beautiful Princess leaning on while confessing a little irresistible.'
"I miss you every day. I think of the way you saved that day. I think of your invincible look. You carried . You're so gentle. When you held in your arms, I felt that the sky falling down wouldn't be an issue, because you were by my side. I felt that you could overco any difficulty thrown at you. I felt so safe in your arms.
I once liked soone, but that was the first ti I felt that there was sobody keeping company, allowing to feel absolutely reassured.
When I saw your eyes, my heart shook. I couldn't withhold my sadness. Your eyes are filled with… loneliness as though you have gone through countless heartbreaking experiences. I want to understand you. I want to know why you're so lonely."
"… Your Highness, I…"
I couldn't believe that I didn't deny that I wasn't him.
"I don't know if this is liking you or not… I don't understand these things, but I think about you all the ti. I now… feel really unwell. Can you touch ?"
The Princess grabbed my hand all of a sudden then placed it on her soft snow-white cheek and rubbed her face against it. She was cute and lovely as a little pet, despite her usual heroic deanour.
"Your hand is so big…" The Princess looked up in a hazy manner. With a silly sounding laugh, she asked, "Can you… dote on tonight?"
'I can't take this no more! This is wrong! Who starts acting this way just because they're drunk?! The Princess is usually very reserved. Usually, she'd fly off the handle if sobody just touched her hand, wouldn't she? Not only has she mistaken for sobody else, but she keeps clinging to and begging to pounce her!'
My eyes lit up.
'It's that aphrodisiac again!! When will this damn aphrodisiac quit?! Wasn't the Princess fine just before? She must've been poisoned by it, too, but owing to her profound internal energy, it took longer to take effect than with Su Xiao!!'
The Princess has completely taken as Lord San Shen. She clung to and refused to get off.
'While that is indeed my… sothing feels weird.'
The Princess has been drugged with aphrodisiac; plus, she's drunk, so that sped up the rate at which the drug spread through her blood, thereby making it impossible for her to resist. She's begun to act on her lust.
Before I could speak in ti, she tightly gripped and pulled over while I was in a panic-stricken state.
Our lips made contact. I felt that her lips were even hotter than her srising body in my arms.
The Princess then squeezed her legs together, locking into her. I felt numb sensations radiate throughout my entire body. Suddenly, owing to embarrassnt, I was slapped across the face.
"H-How could you do this to …?"
'I'm innocent! It was you that kissed just now!'
'Also, you mistook for your crush, and you got poisoned, didn't you?! People get embarrassed in these sorts of situations now?! You sure are a snowflake!'
Afraid that she hurt , the Princess then shyly said, "D-Don't strip … Okay?"
I responded as if I was retarded, "Okay, okay, let's get dressed then."
The Princess shook her head, "G-Go put the lights out."
I raised my hand and blasted out a wind current from my palm to put the candles out.
I picked up the Princess. A pleasing, shy laugh and my heavy breathing could be heard in the pitch-black room.
Ti slowly ticked by and the room gradually fell into a silence as if the clouds cleared and rain stopped.
A bright pair of eyes outside the window suddenly approached. The owner seed to want to see what happened in the darkness.
"You finally here?'
I opened my eyes and out of the blue, laughed. I responded, "You've kept waiting."
