"You’re alright, that’s so good." Zhuge Feng’s eyes were brimming with unshed tears as he stared quietly at Shangguan You. Seeing the concern on his boyish face and his dewy eyes, Shangguan You felt a softness in her heart. In this world, there was still a man like Zhuge Feng who cared for her.
"I’m fine." Shangguan You gave Zhuge Feng a gentle smile. Her body was soaked in the bathtub, still clothed, which was sowhat uncomfortable, but seeing Zhuge Feng’s worried look, she couldn’t help but smile.
"Boo hoo hoo, I’m so glad you’re alright! I was scared to death." Zhuge Feng looked at Shangguan You’s smile and threw himself at her, plunging into her arms. Tears stread from his clear eyes. Despite his efforts to hold them back, they flowed freely.
Her sudden disappearance had already made him feel so powerless. Now that she’d been rescued, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Yet this other man intended to throw him out, and he didn’t even have the ability to dodge! He felt his own weakness so acutely once again—the sa feeling he’d had when he first t Shangguan You.
Zhuge Feng’s current aggrieved and sowhat frightened deanor reminded Shangguan You of the first ti she had taken him ho. He had looked just like that then, trying not to cry out loud. His deer-like, adorable appearance made her feel an inexplicable tenderness.
Ye Sanshao stood coldly to the side. He watched as Zhuge Feng dared to throw himself into Shangguan You’s arms right in front of him, even needing her to comfort him. Waves of anger surged in his heart, mixing sensations of sourness, bitterness, pain, and the irritation of an eyesore.
"Humph, are you really a man?" Ye Sanshao sneered, his hands shot out, grabbing Zhuge Feng tightly and lifting him up.
"You take a bath; we’re stepping out," Ye Sanshao said. Before Shangguan You could even react, the door slamd shut with a BANG.
Outside the door, with a THUD, Ye Sanshao tossed Zhuge Feng to the floor. He stared coldly at the man who, just monts ago, had seed as pitiable and endearing as a little deer, yet now faced him with a look full of rage.
"What’s the matter? Done with the act?" Ye Sanshao sneered, arms crossed, watching Zhuge Feng, who stood up and gracefully dusted off his clothes.
"What I have with her is none of your business, is it?" Zhuge Feng retorted with a cold laugh. This man had appeared out of nowhere. Shangguan You didn’t like him at all. Besides, his own affairs with Shangguan You had nothing to do with this newcor. Thinking of this, and recalling the other man’s domineering and cold behavior just monts ago, Zhuge Feng seethed with resentnt.
"She belongs to . Are you saying that has nothing to do with ?" Ye Sanshao sneered back mockingly.
"She is Shangguan You! She belongs only to herself, not to anyone else. And ’anyone else’ naturally includes you, doesn’t it?" Zhuge Feng leaned lazily against the wall, watching the self-assured Ye Sanshao, his heart filled with indescribable resentnt. He hated his own lack of strength. If only he had been stronger just then, he would have been the one to stay with Shangguan You, not this man who had accompanied and rescued her.
From the first mont he saw her—the way she had rudely torn off his clothes, treated his wounds, and let him stay in her ho—he, Zhuge Feng, had already, in his heart, labeled Shangguan You as his woman. No matter what she wanted to do, he would support her. Even if it was sothing she couldn’t do, he would help her unconditionally.
She was the sunshine in his heart, so he couldn’t allow her to be sad.
"She may not belong to now, but I believe it won’t be long before you understand whether Shangguan You belongs to or not," Ye Sanshao chuckled lightly, then looked disdainfully at Zhuge Feng. This feeling tonight was unique; he had never experienced anything like it in his entire life.
"For a man who climbed out of a pile of corpses to have such clear and innocent eyes, and such a lovely, boyish face—is it fortune or misfortune? If she knew your identity, what do you think she would do? Would she still keep you by her side?"
"What do you know?" Zhuge Feng’s voice was chilling, his eyes turning colder. His entire body was enshrouded in a frigid aura, a stark contrast to his deanor just monts before. Perhaps this was the real Zhuge Feng.
"I know a lot. Even about your so-called master, and the abilities of iyi and the four people with him who were just looking for you—I’m well aware of them all. HAHAHAHA!" Ye Sanshao smirked devilishly, his body slouched comfortably on the sofa. Seeing Zhuge Feng so thoroughly discomfited delighted Ye Sanshao; it dissipated much of the gloom he had felt earlier.
"Who exactly are you?" After a mont, Zhuge Feng asked coldly, his fists clenched so tightly they CRACKED.
"Everyone calls Ye Sanshao." Ye Sanshao smiled wickedly, quite satisfied with this title. It’s mysterious enough, he thought, so mysterious that even Shangguan You has to speculate about . That woman... I’ll make her unable to leave , step by step. The woman Ye Sanshao sets his eyes on, could she really escape? If word got out, I’d be a laughingstock.
Back in the bathroom, Shangguan You slipped into her space again. She stared at the thing engulfed in darkness atop the Purple Lotus. What on earth is this thing? she frowned fiercely. Why has it inexplicably appeared in my space?
Ever since this object entered her space, it had beco docile, lying calmly on the Purple Lotus. The thick darkness that had originally surrounded it was now encircled by purple energy. No matter what Shangguan You tried, the thing remained firm on the Purple Lotus, motionless. This space belonged to her. She could make everything in it act according to her will—except for the dicine King Tower, the dicine King Cauldron, and now, this new mysterious black object.
Shangguan You sighed once more. Although I don’t know what this thing is, I’ll figure it out eventually. At least, with this thing out of the small lake, Zhuge Feng is safe. And in my space, it can’t cause any trouble anyway.
Shangguan You walked into the dicine King Tower. Today’s events have once again made feel how weak I am. If I had been stronger, I wouldn’t have been left in such a disheveled state by so unknown entity, nor would I have been teased by that obnoxious Ye Sanshao!
