What Murong Yun just said was no difference than a slap on Gu Lina’s face, Gu Lina had all along nurtured schemes to approach Murong Yun and create opportunities to talk to him, but what had she got in the end?
Cold words from both Murong Yun and Luo Qianqian and some serious PDA.
Gu Lina was mad jealous, and she blamed it on Luo Qianqian, ‘This is all her fault, she made Deputy Master say all those words in front of me, she is putting on the show to make me jealous!’
Luo Qianqian kissed on Murong Yun’s cheek when Gu Lina blamed everything on Luo Qianqian on her mind.
“You… Luo Qianqian, you made Prince Eighth…”, Gu Lina stammered, she pointed her finger at Luo Qianqian in a huff.
Luo Qianqian narrowed her eyes on hearing ‘Prince Eighth’, she and Murong Yun had never told Gu Lina who they really were, how come she knew Murong Yun was Prince Eighth, she had been referring Murong Yun as ‘Deputy Master’, hmm, there was only one possibility.
“Miss. Gu, has your father told you who your Deputy Master is?” Luo Qianqian asked with a meaningful smile on the face.
It wasn’t until now did Gu Lina realize that she had blurted out the truth, she covered her mouth with her hands, wishing she could take it back.
Gu Lina stared at Luo Qianqian who wasn’t wearing a mask now, she was shocked by just one look.
Luo Qianqian was the most beautiful person she had ever seen, even though she wasn’t wearing any makeup at the moment, but anyone would eclipse in the presence of her.
Her skin was cream and rose due to the alcohol, her features were so appealing, her eyes brimmed with radiating vigour like they could talk to people, her nose prominent and her lips cute, so pleasing to the eye!
And soon Gu Lina realized she bore some resemblance to Luo Qianqian, but sadly, she was nowhere near as beautiful as Luo Qianqian and she knew it herself.
That made her even more jealous, for she didn’t stand a chance now. Before she had seen Luo Qianqian’s face, she kept comforting herself that she must be more beautiful than Luo Qianqian, but seeing Luo Qianqian’s face was like a wake-up call that reminding her that she had no chance!
“Gu Lina, I know what you are up to, but I need to make it clear for you, I will eat you alive if you dare to make a move on this man, my man!” Luo Qianqian turned around to face Gu Lina.
“Luo Qianqian, please, all I want is to have the opportunity to keep Deputy Master company, I know you and Deputy Master belong together, I swear I will behave myself if you allow me to be together with Deputy Master, I can be a concubine and wait on you and Deputy Master. I can be like your little sister, I swear I will treat you and Prince Eighth with great respect.” Gu Lina said that hysterically.
Polygamous was common in that time and space, therefore, Gu Lina thought Luo Qianqian and Murong Yun wouldn’t refuse this proposal.
Hearing that, Luo Qianqian glared at the man resignedly, ‘This is all your fault, don’t play dumb with me, I know you haven’t done anything on your own initiative, but with that face of yours, all you need to do is just showing your face without a mask on, like what you are doing right now!’
What the couple didn’t know was soon the table would turn, soon Murong Yun was going to be the one who had this vexation.
Murong Yun made a face at Luo Qianqian, he wrapped his arms around Luo Qianqian’s tiny waist and said in earnest, “Qianqian, I think you know this already, you are the only one who I want to marry.”
‘That’s the right answer!’ Luo Qianqian smiled.
“Miss. Gu, you heard that, plus I don’t remember my mother had ever told me that I had any sister, so….” Luo Qianqian’s face darkened, “Don’t embarrass yourself any more!”
With that Luo Qianqian walked away, “Murong Yun, I’m going back to my room.”
Of course Murong Yun followed her and he kept chuckling at Luo Qianqian’s ear, “Qianqian, it’s good that now you know you are the only one in my heart.”
“That’s such a silly laugh! Stop it!” Luo Qianqian pretended she wasn’t in the mood.
“Are you sure, Qianqian? Why not take another look of me?” Murong Yun laughed again.
… …
Luo Qianqian woke up early the next morning, she pestered Feng Qing and asked him to practise martial arts with her because her wrist was feeling so much better.
Murong Yun and Feng Qing exchanged a look subtly and Feng Qing said yes.
Thirty seconds later, Feng Qing panted and covered his chest with one hand, “Ouch! Your Highness, you’ve made strides, I… I’m defeated.”
“What? It is your back that I’ve just hit, what are you doing rubbing your chest?” Luo Qianqian knew exactly what Feng Qing was doing.
“Your… Your Highness, this once again has proven you’ve made great progress … …” Feng Qing stammered.
Luo Qianqian turned around and shot Murong Yun a warning look, “This is all you, right?”
Murong Yun smiled as a reply, then he withdrew two wooden boxes from his sleeve and handed them to Luo Qianqian, “Here, have a look.”
“What are these?” Luo Qianqian opened the boxes and what came to her sight was a matching pair of daggers with a dragon and a phoenix engraving on each one, they were so exquisitely designed.
“How beautiful!” Luo Qianqian exclaimed, she took the phoenix one and said, “This is mine I guess.”
“You are right!” with that Murong Yun took the dragon dagger out from the box and instilled Internal Chi into the dagger, the next second the dagger became a sword under the sunlight.
“That’s awesome!” Luo Qianqian exclaimed again.
“Yours is called Flesh and mine is called Bone, the Second Elder designed them, now you give it a try.” Murong Yun explained.
Luo Qianqian took a deep breath and did what Murong Yun told her, the dagger turned into a sword as well, and to her surprise, it kept following her around and creating invisible shield in front of her.
“Murong Yun, look! It looks like Flesh is a living sword, look, it kept following me even if I let it go!” Luo Qianqian couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
