Chapter 2269: Red Sleeve Adds Fragrance

Ye Liuyun had Jing Yong mobilize fifty Soul Cultivator experts from the Black Armor Guard and personally send them to Feng Hong Xiu.

Let them help Feng Hong Xiu strengthen her control over the Red Luan Pavilion.

Ye Liuyun also took the opportunity to check on Feng Hong Xiu's progress.

Upon hearing that Ye Liuyun was coming, Feng Hong Xiu also had people prepare in advance, carefully arranging food and drink, and even had the maids specially dress her up beforehand.

After Ye Liuyun arrived, he was promptly invited to Feng Hong Xiu's residence, where a banquet was set up.

But when Feng Hong Xiu saw Ye Liuyun, she couldn't help but sneer: 'God King, with so many wives and concubines, you still think of coming to the Red Luan Pavilion to see me—how rare!'

Ye Liuyun, hearing that, could only offer an embarrassed smile.

Although he had frequently sent people and resources to the Red Luan Pavilion to support Feng Hong Xiu,

But the promise he made earlier to marry Feng Hong Xiu for Yao Hong has still not been fulfilled, and he has not even announced Feng Hong Xiu's status as consort to the outside.

He also knew Feng Hong Xiu had feelings for him, but he still thought it was fine to keep things as they are.

He himself has many affairs, truly unable to take care of so many women.

But now it's clear that Feng Hong Xiu has grievances.

Feng Hong Xiu waited for the maids to finish serving the food and drink, then waved them away and personally poured wine for Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately said: 'What I have promised will certainly be fulfilled.'

"Then when will that be?"

"If I wait any longer, I'll be past my prime!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun say that, Feng Hong Xiu didn't want to make things harder for him, but she still sighed.

"How about this: I will publicly announce your consort status tomorrow, and before you leave, I will confirm your title—what do you think?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

Feng Hong Xiu didn't reply, but instead looked at Ye Liuyun, smoothed her hair a bit, and asked: 'How long will you be away this time?'

Feng Hong Xiu wore a red dress with a thin red gauze overlay; her every gesture was full of allure.

Ye Liuyun glanced at her, then immediately dared not look again, quickly replying: 'I'm not sure.'

According to preliminary calculations, the voyage through Xingkong will take several months.

"It's estimated to take at least a year or two!"

"It could even be ten or eight years, right?"

Feng Hong Xiu asked again.

Ye Liuyun nodded, also feeling that making Feng Hong Xiu wait a bit longer was somewhat regrettable.

Ye Liuyun also didn't want to deceive her; after leaving, various mishaps could occur, possibly lasting even longer than ten or eight years, and he wasn't even sure if he could return.

Both of them instantly fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Finally, Feng Hong Xiu broke the silence, pouring Ye Liuyun a cup of wine: 'Then let today's meal be seen as a send-off for you.'

"I prepared this carefully, so please eat more."

"Alright, thank you for the trouble!"

Ye Liuyun politely could only hide his embarrassment by eating and drinking, and he also gave a brief rundown of his arrangements.

Feng Hong Xiu cooperatively chatted with him, and after he finished eating, she had the maids serve tea.

Feng Hong Xiu leaned sideways on the couch, casually chatting with Ye Liuyun.

Red candles flickered in the room, the atmosphere somewhat ambiguous, making Ye Liuyun dare not look at her.

Just as Ye Liuyun was preparing to leave, Feng Hong Xiu casually instructed the maids: 'He won't be leaving tonight; he'll stay here. Go prepare.'

"Yes!"

The maids responded and went to prepare the bathing equipment and extra blankets.

"This... this isn't proper!"

Ye Liuyun also panicked, not knowing what to say.

Feng Hong Xiu said: 'What's wrong with that? It's just a matter of time—you're about to leave for so long; shouldn't you give me a title before you go?'

"..." Ye Liuyun had nothing to say about that.

Feng Hong Xiu continued: 'To welcome you, I've been wearing accessories all day.'

"Help me take them off, and I won't let the maids come in to attend."

"Oh."

Ye Liuyun acknowledged, but then felt it improper, too intimate, and said: 'I don't even know how to handle women's ornaments!'

Feng Hong Xiu retorted: 'You're about to leave; can't you at least learn a bit for me?'

"These are all for you!"

"Alright."

Ye Liuyun had no choice but to walk over, sit beside the couch, and help her remove the ornaments, though he dared not let his eyes wander.

He really didn't know how; only under Feng Hong Xiu's guidance did he clumsily manage to take off some of the ornaments.

At that moment, a maid came in to report that the bathtub was filled with water, ready for Ye Liuyun to bathe.

"Go take a bath, and let them attend to you."

Feng Hong Xiu said to Ye Liuyun.

"No need, no need!"

Ye Liuyun hurriedly refused.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's embarrassed look, Feng Hong Xiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Do as you please."

Then she instructed the maids: 'Just take him there.'

Yes!

The servant responded and looked toward Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also didn't want to embarrass Feng Hong Xiu in front of the servant, so he had no choice but to follow the servant to bathe.

He also had a feeling that he couldn't escape.

Thinking about Feng Hong Xiu's arrangement like this, I can understand her feelings; after all, I really don't know how long I'll be gone this time.

He also relaxed and sank into the bathtub, wanting to soak comfortably for a while.

But not long after, he heard footsteps behind him.

"No need to serve, you may go!"

Ye Liuyun lay in the bathtub with his eyes closed, thinking the servant had entered, and casually said a line.

However, those footsteps did not stop.

Ye Liuyun immediately released his Divine Sense and discovered it was actually Feng Hong Xiu.

"Since you don't fancy them, how about I serve you instead?"

Feng Hong Xiu said while taking off her clothes one by one and tossing them aside.

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath and immediately withdrew his Divine Sense.

"It seems like you're feeling wronged! I haven't even said I'm wronged yet!"

Feng Hong Xiu came to his side and spoke softly.

"It's not that I'm feeling wronged! I'm just thinking, what if I don't come back..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, Feng Hong Xiu's slender jade hand covered his mouth, and then she whispered in his ear: "From now on I am your woman! You cannot abandon me here."

"I will wait for you to return, waiting forever..."

Ye Liuyun also stayed at the Red Luan Pavilion that night.

The next day, when he was about to leave, Feng Hong Xiu proactively said: "I don't care about the title of Princess Consort."

"You'd better not announce it."

"Otherwise someone might target me and use me to threaten you!"

"Let's talk about it when you return."

"By then I will have straightened out the Red Luan Pavilion, handed it over to my subordinates, and will stay by your side; announcing it later won't be too late!"

Ye Liuyun also agreed.

He also worried that Feng Hong Xiu might encounter danger because of this.

He also told her to seek help from Yu Xiaofeng if she encountered danger.

He also had the Illusion Hand and the Thousand Faces protect Feng Hong Xiu openly and covertly.

Feng Hong Xiu was teased by him to the point of joking: "Being your woman, the treatment is indeed different!"

Ye Liuyun, however, seriously said: "Of course it's different! I absolutely will not allow any harm to come to my woman."
