Humans are not trees or flowers. Humans have feelings and emotions.But…
The trees and flowers have feelings and emotions too!
Before they transformed into humans, they could not express their feelings and emotions. But, it did not mean that they did not have feelings and emotions. Now, they have become humans and act just like humans.
Feng Ruqing suddenly extended her hand and pulled Fu Chen into her embrace.
She hugged him tightly.
Fu Chen hugged her back. The young girl was trembling in his embrace. He was unable to breathe but he still did not push her away.
"No. I won"t be like that in the future."
She thought that she was doing a favor for them.
She was unwilling to let Fu Chen and Qing Han make unnecessary sacrifices. She just wanted them to survive.
But, she had truly forgotten that…
"This is not what they want!"
Fu Chen"s facial expression softened and he smiled warmly.
"Mother, you can still bully me like how you did before. It"s because I"m much more willing to be bullied by you rather than lose you. But, please don"t spank me. I"m no longer a small kid. I"ll feel ashamed."
Feng Ruqing released the boy from her embrace and pinched his small, fair face. "You look just like a small kid."
Fu Chen pouted. "I"m a thousand years old. I know everything. For example, I could only have a little brother or a little sister if you and Father, the state preceptor, sleep on the same bed and kiss each other."
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
"Yes, that"s right. You need to hug each other too. If not, you won"t have any babies."
Feng Ruqing did not know how to respond to that.
"How should I explain to Fu Chen that humans cannot have kids if they just hugged and kissed each other?"
"Princess…"
Liu Li rushed in from outside. She saw the little boy standing next to Feng Ruqing and she suddenly stopped. Then, she said, "Princess, there"s a guest. The guest said that there"s some good news."
Liu Li did not know about Fu Chen"s strength. But, she knew that Qing Han could strangle the Spirit Warriors from the four kingdoms. So, that boy"s strength must be powerful too.
"No wonder they"re my master"s spirit beasts."
"Who is it?"
"I don"t know. He mentioned that he comes from the Mu family. Princess, do you know him?"
"The Mu family…"
Feng Ruqing frowned slightly and was quiet for a while. "Show him in."
She had never heard of the Mu family. "But, it"s good news…"
She was curious as to what kind of good news he would bring to her.
***
Outside of the princess"s manor. Han Feng was tired of waiting. But, he had come all the way to send the betrothal gifts to the princess so he forced himself to wait patiently.
After a short while, he saw the palace maid who had gone into the princess"s manor to inform about his arrival. He asked, coldly, "Where"s the princess?"
"She"s just a princess from an insignificant royal family. Why did she not come out to greet me?"
Liu Li frowned slightly. Her face darkened when she was faced with Han Feng"s unfriendly question. "The princess asked you to enter the manor."
Han Feng seemed cold and distant now. Those in the reclusive world really had no manners and even the palace maid was arrogant.
"After I marry Feng Ruqing, I"ll definitely ask Lady Qing Yan to teach her manners!"
Han Feng did not bother to care about Liu Li"s manners when he recalled the reason he went there. He entered the manor in big strides before he scanned the interior of the manor. His cold gaze was suddenly met with a figure who was as beautiful as a picture. He stared, fixated by the sight.
The young girl looked lazy and seemed like a person without any bones. She leaned back against the chair.
Her appearance was so dazzling that it could captivate everyone in this world.
Han Feng was prepared before he came. But, he was still caught breathless when he saw the beautiful girl.
At that moment, he finally understood why Young Master Nan Xian had fallen in love with a woman of lowly status.
