Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 531 The Princess Who Wants to Compilation 28

The next morning.

The biting cold air, wrapped in the morning light, struggled to penetrate the clouds and cast a light golden veil on the snow in the hot spring villa.

The manor was covered in snow, and there was peace and tranquility. Only the subtle sounds of servants sweeping away the snow broke the silence.

But beneath this apparent calm, an invisible undercurrent was silently surging around the warm room.

In the warm room, the warm wind exhaled from the beast's mouth was still there, and the lingering fragrance of herbs was mixed with a lingering, barely perceptible scent of ambiguity.

Shen Ji, Bai Mo, and Gu Tingzhou were already seated at the small table beneath the window. A maid was spreading the breakfast soup on a cloth, steam rising from it. Yet, the air was frozen solid.

The news had already spread to every corner of the village like a chill that penetrated into the bones.

The prince, who had not stepped into any servant's room for more than two months, actually acquiesced to Liu Rufeng's service in the warm room while drunk last night.

This was the first time anyone had been able to get close to her bedside since the Iron Feather Guards wreaked havoc, or even since the trip to Meiling!

And this person turned out to be Liu Rufeng, who had an unknown origin and treacherous mind!

Shen Ji held the spoon, his fingertips trembling slightly as he held it. The jade-like vegetable soup in the snow-white porcelain bowl reflected his pale face.

The warmth he felt when he held her in his arms the night before seemed to still linger. The unprecedented closeness and vulnerability brought a touch of throbbing and warmth to his frozen heart.

He even thought... the music of the piano under the moonlight, the sincere words that could not be trapped, might be a little different to him...

But in just one night, in the warm room just across the wall, she actually indulged Liu Rufeng, who only knew how to fake a smile!

A mouthful of warm soup slid down my throat, but it was like a hot lead block, burning all the way to the depths of my heart.

He lowered his eyelashes, trying to hide the pain surging in his eyes and the coldness pierced by reality.

The throbbing that had been accumulated with great difficulty seemed to be thrown into an ice cave and shattered. Every fragment reflected his self-conceit and Liu Rufeng's vague smug smile last night.

The strings of the zither were stretched so tight in my mind that they were about to break.

Gu Tingzhou next to him was gripping the soup bowl tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He has always been serious, but at this moment he couldn't help but frown, and his eyes fell heavily on a corner of the table.

He is not obsessed with matters between men and women, but it stems from deeper self-blame and loss.

As the person in charge of internal affairs in the palace, he failed to dissuade His Highness from drinking too much last night, and he could not foresee the subsequent... absurdity.

The bowl of medicine that was not delivered to Liu Rufeng became the most glaring irony at this moment.

Not only was Liu Rufeng not injured, but... Gu Tingzhou took a big sip of the soup, trying to suppress the blockage in his throat, only to find that the bowl of carefully cooked soup now tasted bitter.

The foundation of the servant's way seemed to have cracks, and the unquestionable loyalty and professional ethics in his heart were eroded for the first time by an indescribable bitterness and intense self-doubt.

Bai Mo sat in the corner farthest from Shen Ji, almost with his back to everyone, his eyes coldly cast at the snowman standing in the courtyard outside the window.

The snowman was covered in snow, his sword pointing to the sky, his posture was aloof and cold, just like his mood when he was building the stone yesterday.

However, at this moment, in Bai Mo's eyes, the tip of the snow sword that pierced the vastness seemed to carry a trace of undried blood.

Sleeping with Liu Rufeng?

This news froze Bai Mo's heart. Last night, during the dangerous encounter at Meiling Mountain, his wrist was still aching from the concussion. He was repaying her for looking at him differently, for that understanding of their "sword spirit connection."

Her powerful mystery made him willing to follow and explore. But she turned around and gave this special privilege to the most untrustworthy spy?

A bloody and violent aura suddenly rushed up his throat, mixed with icy jealousy.

envy?

He never bothered to be jealous about such things!

But why at this moment... the cold murderous intent churning in my chest is so strange and surging?

What kind of game is she playing?

Even the couch next to you can be used as a bargaining chip?

He stared at the snowman outside the window. The early morning sunlight had melted some of the snow, making the tip of the sword no longer seem so sharp. Instead, it seemed fragile and about to collapse.

His hands on his knees clenched unconsciously, his knuckles making a slight "crackling" sound, and the pain in his wrists was as clear as a knife cut - was this injury worth it?

The door of the warm room was pushed open with a creak, bringing with it a cold breath of first snow.

Liu Rufeng walked in slowly.

He changed into a brand new crimson brocade robe with a slightly open collar, revealing a few faint and ambiguous red marks on his delicate collarbone.

Her hair was loosely tied with a plain silver hairpin, and her face showed a hint of contented laziness, as well as an undisguised, high-spirited spring spirit.

The result of my careful preparation of medicine last night had the most "successful" feedback on him at this moment.

The pair of peach blossom eyes that were used to hiding emotions now showed glittering pride as they deliberately glanced at the three silent people in the warm room.

The eye-catching scarlet dress, the mark on the neck, and the unconcealed triumphant and proud posture instantly ignited the already extremely depressing atmosphere in the warm room.

Shen Ji's hand holding the spoon suddenly stopped, and he looked up at Liu Rufeng. In his eyes, which were always gentle and clear, the ice layer shattered, leaving only sharp pain and a cold light of deep offense.

Gu Tingzhou suddenly put the soup bowl back on the table, and the bottom of the bowl made a dull sound when it hit the table. The usual humility and tolerance on his face was replaced by an extremely rare gloom and sharpness. His eyes were like a searchlight, scrutinizing Liu Rufeng's every move, with undisguised disapproval.

Only Bai Mo did not look back, as if the melting snow sword outside the window was the only thing worth paying attention to in the world.

However, the veins on the joints of his clenched fists bulged a little more, revealing the huge waves surging in his heart - those waves were no longer just jealousy, but also mixed with the anger of being fooled, the humiliation of being despised, and the extreme coldness of a certain existence in his heart that had been "tainted".

The maid's footsteps were accompanied by the subtle sound of soup plates knocking against each other, and the warm and sweet smell of storax in the warm room was replaced by a cold, sour, and almost explosive aura.

The tip of the snowman's sword was not pointing at the vast sky, but slid silently towards the center of the warm room, and the invisible cold light was pressing directly at everyone's throat.

Liu Rufeng's smile became even more wanton and ostentatious, like boiling oil thrown into the depths of a cold pond, instantly igniting the fatal ripples that had been suppressed for so long.

But what the four of them didn't expect was that in the next few days, Yun Chu took turns summoning them to sleep with him.

This time, the bedtime was more gentle than before, making them sink into it...

He also gave them many rare treasures, each of which touched their hearts.

She took them to travel through the mountains and fields near the hot spring village, and took them hunting and picnicking.

Experiencing things I've never experienced before.

Many complicated emotions gradually arose in their hearts.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, I have been staying in the hot spring villa for a month.

Yun Chu had enough fun and also gained a lot from the love value mission, so she took the four of them back home.
