Chapter 170 A Tight Hug That Completely Went against His Values
There might be an a.s.sa.s.sin but if he entered her quarters, he would be entering a woman’s private chambers! Princess Qianyang was not Hua Qiyue, so he couldn’t act so informally around her.
However, if he didn’t enter her private chambers and Princess Qianyang came to any harm, then…
Yun Shimo clenched his jaw. He knew that this might be a set-up but if he didn’t fall into the trap that Princess Qianyang had laid out and she ended up lashing out, Hua Qiyue could end up being hurt.
All he cared about was the pearl within Princess Qianyang’s body.
“Ha ha ha… you have such a nice figure, Princess…” masculine laughter that dripped with l.u.s.t could be heard. Princess Qianyang cried out coldly and there was a loud crash, as though something had toplled over.
Yun Shimo glanced outside. Those guards would not rush in simply because the powerful Prince Nan was inside the Princess’ chambers.
Yun Shimo immediately drew his sword and slashed a strip off cloth off his robes and wrapped it around his eyes!
This way, he wouldn’t be able to see much and wouldn’t be insulting the Princess’ modesty!
Yun Shimo kicked open the door and saw a man who was about to insult the princess’ modesty. When the man saw Yun Shimo, he jumped out of the window and fled in fright while Princess Qianyang fell onto the ground, trembling in fear.
Yun Shimo’s eyes were covered with the cloth but he could still vaguely make out the princess on the ground.
“Your HIghness, I’m sorry for intruding but are you alright?” Yun Shimo said coldly and sounded very distant.
His att.i.tude was very polite and deferential but Princess Qianyang huffed angrily.
She had fallen for Yun Shimo and in order to get this man, she had already resorted to unscrupulous means. After all, he was about to marry Hua Qiyue soon so if she didn’t resort to such means, how was she going to be able to beat Hua Qiyue to land this man?
“My leg… ouch, it really hurts. Please come over and help me up!” Princess Qianyang said. Her face was scrunched up in a frown as she held her ankle.
She had been in the bath earlier and although she wasn’t completely naked, she was only wearing medium-length silk pants and red undergarments, so if Yun Shimo went over to help her… they would have had intimate contact.
Yun Shimo couldn’t see her but he took a step back and said, “I’ll send for your maidservant.”
“No! Your Highness, my maidservants are very weak. And… what would we do if the man earlier were to return?” Princess Qianyang said hastily. She would not let her plan fail.
Yun Shimo paused for a moment but ultimately slowly walked toward the princess who sat on the ground.
“I think I’ve sprained it,” she said.
Yun Shimo walked over to her and bent down. Then, he stretched out his hand and a ray of silver light appeared at his fingertips. The silver light ripped through the air and suddenly tunneled into the princess’ ankle.
Princess Qianyang felt a warm current run down the meridians of her foot and this warm current quickly expanded and the pain she felt faded.
“Do you think you’d be able to stand?” Yun Shimo asked coldly.
Princess Qianyang attempt to stand and found that she was truly able to stand. She smiled happily and didn’t hold back her praise as she said, “I didn’t think… that your medical skills were so outstanding. You’re truly a divine doctor! Many thanks, Prince Nan.”
Then, she jumped into the large bathtub and water splashed everywhere. Yun Shimo turned around and said coldly with his back facing her, “Since you’re fine, I’ll take my leave first.”
“No… I need you to stand guard here. If that disgusting pervert returns, wouldn’t I be…” Princess Qianyang huffed. “Your Highness, don’t worry. My men have gone after the man earlier but I can’t be too sure that there wouldn’t be a second pervert lurking around!’
Yun Shimo nodded and said, “You’re right.”
Then, Yun Shimo stood stiffly like a tall pine tree. He looked like he wouldn’t move even if the wind blew.
He stood as still as a statue and no matter what he heard, he refused to turn to face the princess and did not move a muscle.
As the water slid down her back, a blush stained Princess Qianyang’s beautiful face and she looked around, as cunning as a fox. Her fair fingers slid gently over her smooth skin, then entered the water with an ambiguous sound.
Yun Shimo refused to move and all the sounds she created were completely useless against him.
Princess Qianyang lost interest in trying to tease him and said gently, “Your Highness, could you bring my clothes over.”
Yun Shimo saw that her clothes were laid out on a small stool on the left. He woodenly took her clothes and retreated backward.
“Your Highness, here are your clothes,” he said distantly.
His hand slid behind as he pa.s.sed her clothes to the Princess but suddenly, someone gripped his hand and tugged hard. He was caught completely off-guard and landed into the princess’ bathtub!
Yun Shimo was completely shocked. He didn’t think that the princess would be so audacious and that she would resort to such methods to seduce him with no disregard for her own modesty.
Yun Shimo jumped up but Princess Qianyang wrapped her arms tightly around him. Her fair and slender body gave off a seductive glow as she pressed herself tightly against his body like an elf. She rubbed her face against his hand and said, “Your Highness, I’m… I’m so frightened!’
Puff—
The hare that had been outside the window vomited blood once again.
This was a truly eye-opening experience for him. He had thought that Huangfu Shenglin was being extremely cheesy earlier but he didn’t expect Princess Qianyang to be bolder and even more daring than Huangfu Shenglin. She had dragged a man into her own bathtub!
His worldly views were completely wrecked by her actions!
Yun Shimo was secretly angry but he quickly calmed down and said coldly, “Your Highness, this is highly improper. Please let go of me right now!”
Princess Qianyang a.s.sumed that he was just being shy and said with a soft laugh, “Your Highness… I’m so frightened. Why don’t you keep me company? You’re blindfolded, so who would say that our actions were improper?”
Princess Qianyang was actually cackling to herself. Now that Yun Shimo’s clothes were completely drenched thanks to her, if the gossipy pilgrims saw the state that he was in later, she was sure that this gossip would spread very quickly.
Then, her father the Emperor would be forced to give her hand in marriage to Yun Shimo.
Yun Shimo quietly stood in the bathtub and allow the princess to hug him tightly while he used all his anima energy to silently probe at her body and tried to know more about the mysterious pearl.
Suddenly, something exploded in his mind and his divine sense was strongly repelled by the pearl. He suddenly turned pale.
“Your Highness? Your Highness? What’s wrong?” Princess Qianyang felt his body shudder and was pleasantly surprised at his reaction to her since she a.s.sumed that he must have fallen for her.
Yun Shimo smiled coldly and said, “Your Highness, this is improper. I wouldn’t be able to clear my name if this gets out!” He used his anima energy and abruptly blocked her acupoints before he jumped out of the bathtub.
Princess Qianyang was both surprised and annoyed. She hadn’t expected Yun Shimo to be so powerful that he managed to escape from her clutches in such a short period of time.
She was even more annoyed when she saw Yun Shimo land with his back facing her, then his body gave off a faint silver glow before his wet clothes dried in a matter of seconds!
She should have known that she would never be able to take advantage of powerful people.
“Your Highness, don’t worry. Your maidservant is here!” he said coldly before he flew out of the window. Soon, a maidservant rushed in, just as he had predicted.
In fact, Yun Shimo had already told the hare to find a way to send the princess’ maidservant into the room and her timing was just right.
“Your Highness, are you alright? I heard that you fainted…” the maidservant opened the doors in a rush and saw Princess Qianyang sitting completely still in an angry heap in the bathtub!

“You b.i.t.c.h, get away from me!” Princess Qianyang cried out angrily.
Her plan had almost worked but to her surprise, Prince Nan had managed to escape. This man was clearly far too intelligent, so he had managed to easily see through her plot.
The maidservant was so frightened that she started to shake all over. Princess Qianyang silently used her anima energy to unblock her acupoints.
Yun Shimo walked out leisurely from the princess’ courtyard. His eyes were still blindfolded but this didn’t affect his movements.
“Eh? Prince Nan has already emerged?”
“Oh my, he even blindfolded himself. I guess nothing happened inside after all!”
“Yes, I didn’t expect him to be so loyal to Princess Jinghua. He didn’t even dare to look directly at the princess even though she had invited him to admire the moon with her!”
“Ha ha, I bet the princess must be fuming mad since Prince Nan doesn’t even show an iota of interest in her.”
“….”
The pilgrims gossiped amongst themselves while Yun Shimo calmly walked back to his quarters as though nothing had happened.
Princess Qianyang was extremely upset but it was already past midnight, so as a dignified princess of Changjing Kingdom, it would be very unbecoming of her to visit someone at this time.
Although she wanted to seduce Yun Shimo, it wouldn’t look good on her if her reputation got tarnished because of this.
She might have grown up at the Heaven Sect but she still had some sense of decorum. She could be shameless in front of Yun Shimo but she couldn’t behave the same way in public.
She was so upset that she couldn’t upset. To her surprise, she received news that next day that Yun Shimo had caught a bad cold the night before and had rushed back to the capital to get medication.
In other words, Yun Shimo was no longer at Furong Temple. He had obeyed the imperial edict to escort him but since he had caught a bad flu, it was a reasonable excuse to return to the capital.
Princess Qianyang turned pale when she heard the news and swept all the bowls onto the floor in a rage. The soldiers were so frightened that they didn’t dare to make a sound.
“However… His Highness had left his personal guard Bingyi to guard you. He said that Bingyi is also highly-skilled at Qi Arts and would be able to protect the princess,” the bold maidservant said softly.
Bingyi?
Princess Qianyang’s eyes lit up and she said, “Very well. Tell him to stick close to my side so that he’d be able to do a good job!”
Bingyi was completely speechless. Was Yun Shimo trying to kill him by sending him here to wait on the princess?
Thus, Bingyi started his life of being tortured by the princess…

“Ha ha ha… I didn’t expect that that little punk would have been the victim of such a bold move by the princess. Girl, did you know that when I saw the princess boldly dragging him to the bathtub, ha ha ha, I laughed till I vomited blood once more.”
On Rock Hillock Mountain, the hare laughed till his stomach hurt.
Hua Qiyue’s lips twitched. Princess Qianyue was really an oddball. How could she be so daring? Yun Shimo must have been scared half to death, right? Wait… most men would probably fall for such a cute woman if she threw herself at him. So how could she expect him to be immune?
