“Hehe.” Zuo Qianqian laughed scornfully and said disdainfully, “You’re a princess who doesn’t deserve the Zuo name, what right do you have to chastise me? You’re better off trying to gain Imperial Father’s favor. Otherwise, you will only end up being abandoned by the Imperial family.”

When Zuo Qianqian had finished saying her piece, she turned her lustful gaze towards Qianbei Xun again. “I know that you’re only tagging along with her just for her title. However, it’s clear that you’ve been deceived. She’s only an unfavored princess but if you’re willing to come with me, I can guarantee that no one in the Vermillion Bird Country would dare to touch you.”

As she spoke, Zuo Qianqian decided to reach out and stroke the young man’s fair, jade-like skin.

However, before she could touch the young man, a piercing pain shot out from the palm of her hand and she screamed.

“Arrgghh!!!”

Zuo Qianqian covered her hand and stumbled backward. Her expression was ashen as she looked at her blackened palm. Cold sweat began to trickle down her forehead from the pain.

“What did you do to me?”

Qianbei Xun scoffed coldly, “Don’t touch me with your disgusting hand! Otherwise, I won’t just limit myself to poisoning your hand, I’d chop it off and turn you into a cripple!”

The youth’s handsome features were cold and distant. Murderous intent was gradually overflowing from his dark eyes as a frosty air flashed in his pupils.

Feng Qianhuan was shocked. She turned towards the handsome youth next to her as her heart trembled violently.

Throughout their interactions along the way, her impression of Qianbei Xun was that he would present a cold and cocky front initially before warming up to someone. However, she never thought that he would be cold to the bone! Even so, this cold and uncaring demeanor was only directed towards people that he dislikes.

She does not know why but she rather liked this version of Qianbei Xun.

Especially that silver hair of his. He really resembles her older brother, Ye Sihuang…

“Scram!”

The youth ordered and his long, silver robes fluttered despite the lack of a breeze. He presented a suffocatingly beautiful view.

“Damned kid, you dare plot against me!” Zuo Qianqian’s expression was particularly ugly. She then waved her hand and ordered viciously, “Men, get that damned kid. I want him to experience the consequences of offending me!”

Not a single person in the Vermillion Bird Country has dared to disobey her!

Great, this is just great! I will make this damned kid pay the most painful price!

“Wife Xue’er, why do you have a sister like that?” Qianbei Xun glared at Zuo Qianqian hatefully. He seemed to be completely unfazed by the guards who were charging towards him as he turned towards Feng Qianhuan and asked, puzzled.

Feng Qianhuan rolled her eyes at him as she replied, “Who’s your wife? I’m not married to you so don’t address me so casually.”

“You’ll become my wife sooner or later so I’m just addressing you in advance. Answer me first, why do you have a sister like that? She’s nothing like you.”

Each time he thought about the way Zuo Qianqian had looked at him, he would be utterly revolted and disgusted. In comparison, his future wife’s gaze made him feel so much more comfortable…

“We don’t share the same mother.”

Which meant that their difference in character was because they were from different mothers.

“Understood.” Qianbei Xun nodded as he stroked his chin with his long and slender fingers. “Her mother must be as shameless as her daughter. That’s how she had given birth to such a shameless person. Your mother must be outstanding so she had you who is just as outstanding. Am I correct, wife?”

“I’ve told you, stop calling me your wife!”

“You’ve already seen my naked body so you have to bear that responsibility for me. If you plan on going back on your word, that’s not possible!” Qianbei Xun lifted his chin and bluntly replied, “Xue’er, I’m determined to pursue you in this lifetime. You’ll have to figure out how to deal with that yourself.”
