Chapter 137: Caught In Bed? (Third update, seeking monthly votes)

"Choose me!"

"No matter what you want, I can promise to give you more than Li Qiushui ever could."

Gripping Ren Yidao's palm, Li Fengyao ignored everything else, desperately trying to convey his emotions.

The emotions, amplified several times over by a Secret Technique, surged along the palms where they touched and poured into Ren Yidao's Consciousness Sea.

And then...

There was no "then."

Those surging, wave-like emotions, enough to stir the hearts of most cultivators, were swallowed whole in Ren Yidao's Consciousness Sea before they could even stir up a ripple.

Slurp... *hiccup*.

The taste was just so-so.

After swallowing that soul-based Secret Technique, Ren Yidao even smacked his lips, feeling he hadn't eaten anything particularly good.

Little kid, you should just use this trick on someone else.

Don't try this stuff on me.

Didn't I warn you once before? Still haven't learned your lesson?

Not very obedient, are you?

His eyes lit up slightly, and Ren Yidao followed that retreating power, chasing after it!

Uncle is going to have to properly punish a disobedient child—

Ren Yidao felt nothing from the Wanhua Valley Secret Technique, but for Li Fengyao, whose Secret Technique had failed, it was a different story.

"Cough, cough..."

Backlash.

And this time, the backlash was far more intense than the last!

"As expected, he is also a master of this path."

Having tested him in the great hall earlier, Li Fengyao was not probing mindlessly this time, but using this opportunity to prove a suspicion in his heart.

If his Secret Technique failed again, he could confirm the nature of Ren Yidao's cultivation method.

However, what Li Fengyao had not expected was that the backlash this time would be so violent!

"Cough!"

Not only did blood surge up from his throat, but blood also flowed from five of his seven orifices.

His handsome face was stained with blood, looking utterly miserable.

No!

This guy is more dangerous than I imagined...

His knees went weak, and Li Fengyao nearly collapsed directly to the ground.

But just as he was about to lose his composure, he was grabbed by someone, sparing him the wretched fate of rolling on the floor.

And then, he entered into another kind of unspeakable, miserable state.

Feeling the scene before him spinning, when Li Fengyao could see clearly again, he actually saw the sky...

Li Fengyao: Hm?

What kind of position is this?

While he was confused, a handsome face full of deep affection appeared in his field of vision.

Ah!?

Ren Yidao supported Li Fengyao's waist with his arm, keeping him in a face-up position in his embrace, and asked with feigned concern:

"Your Highness, what is wrong?"

"Why did you suddenly faint? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

While questioning him, he pressed down on Li Fengyao's shoulders, pushing him back down again.

Just lie there~

???

"You! Let go of me, I..."

Finally realizing what position he was in, Li Fengyao wanted to struggle, but felt his body go limp.

Because he saw a pair of bright eyes, which seemed to contain infinite mysteries that invited exploration.

All the beauty and mystery of the world were contained within them.

"No..."

This is a mental Secret Technique, no! I cannot...

His remaining consciousness warned Li Fengyao that he absolutely could not faint at this moment, otherwise, everything would be over.

But his struggle was useless.

Ren Yidao had no intention of letting him go.

With a bright moon seemingly shining in his eyes, he fully activated his bewitching Secret Technique, crushing Li Fengyao's consciousness over and over again.

Oh my, young man, since you've already come, don't be in such a hurry to leave!

Once someone else arrives, you can experience a public social death.

At that time, I will let you go.

Anyway, in this vast Imperial Palace, I don't know many people at all.

But you, the Second Prince, are different; you are absolutely known by everyone.

Kill fifteen thousand enemies, suffer twenty-five in self-damage.

This trade is truly worth it!

Ren Yidao's abacus was clicking quite loudly, and quite viciously too.

But for all his calculations, he still miscalculated one thing.

Among the few people he knew, there was one rather special existence.

Clang—

"Hey... what are you two doing here?"

The cold voice, like the ringing of a sword, made both of the deadlocked figures pause.

Eh?

Slowly turning his head, Ren Yidao saw an icy-faced Li Qiushui and, behind her, Imperial Concubine Ran, who was holding a white fox and covering her mouth to stifle a giggle.

"Uh..."

Oh my.

This scene was seen by the person who should have seen it the least.

Why is there a feeling of being caught in bed?

After thinking for a moment, Ren Yidao tentatively said:

"That... it's not what you think?"

Eh?

Why did I use a question?

"Hmph!"

Li Qiushui let out an angry huff, glared fiercely at Ren Yidao, and forcefully sheathed her drawn Long Sword.

Click!

The furious Ninth Princess turned around in a rage, dragging the happily gossiping Imperial Concubine Ran away until they disappeared.

"Huh? Just like that?"

What do you mean?

Ren Yidao blinked and pondered, failing to understand Li Qiushui's logic of action.

He had thought that in this situation, she should have at least said a few words.

Like: "I never thought you were this kind of person!", "You really disgust me!", "I really misjudged you!"...

How strange.

"Cough, cough."

While Ren Yidao was thinking, Li Fengyao took the opportunity to adjust his breathing, returned to his previous state, and smiled:

"Daoist, how much longer do you intend to hold me?"

Looking down at the Second Prince who had regained his composure, Ren Yidao also smiled.

He helped Li Fengyao up, patted his shoulder lightly, and sighed with emotion:

"Your Highness should still exercise more in daily life; it wouldn't be good to faint again."

"This time I was here, but next time, it's hard to say."

It's all your fault!

I almost got mistaken for a gay man.

"Oh right, Your Highness, please don't be polite; it was just a small effort."

Even with Li Fengyao's years of cultivated self-restraint, he took a deep breath after hearing these shameless words.

Whoosh—

Staring deeply at Ren Yidao, he smiled and nodded slowly.

"Today's favor, Feng Yao will remember it."

Emphasizing the word "favor" heavily, Li Fengyao gritted his teeth and said:

"One day, I will surely repay it."

After saying this, he didn't want to stay in front of this guy for even a second longer and turned to leave.

"Your Highness—walk slowly, don't fall again!"

Watching Li Fengyao disappear in the other direction, Ren Yidao withdrew his gaze with a chuckle.

Don't bother remembering it.

Unless you undergo a gender-bend, there's no possibility between us.

However...

"That sensation just now, why does it feel like something was off?"

"A woman disguised as a man? But it doesn't feel right; it was definitely the scent of a man..."

But Ren Yidao always trusted his nose and didn't think too much about other possibilities.

Walking on his way back alone, he sighed with deep emotion to himself:

"Brother Long, your son's pectoral muscles are quite exaggerated."

……

……

Not long after parting with Ren Yidao, Li Fengyao returned to his residence.

He sat on the couch, clutching the clothes over his chest tightly, his expression dark and unreadable.

After a long silence, Li Fengyao raised his head and spoke coldly to the attendant standing outside the door:

"Set up a banquet at Zui Xian Lou tomorrow; I want to host a... friend."

Tomorrow I'm on the recommendation list, a trendsetter, I'm going to start combining chapters to pull up the average subscription.

The results will affect the next recommendation, it is truly important, save this child!

Additionally, I am going abroad at the end of the month for about a week.

But rest assured, there will be no break in updates; I will maintain a daily update of four thousand characters.

So I have to start frantically stockpiling drafts these next few days, wuwu.

Ah—

Just thinking about it makes me start losing hair...
