Chapter 137 Feng Yequn and Prince of the Netherworld
Shi Juyi saw that she was distracted, so he quickly woke her up and asked softly:
"Yingshuai, what's wrong?"
Luo Ying woke up from his deep thoughts, quickly gathered his thoughts, and said softly:
"Nothing...Nothing, it's just that the sound of the flute is very familiar."
The three of them didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly sneaked into the depths of the artillery camp. Shi Juyi and Shao Hanyue remained vigilant at all times, their eyes were as sharp as torches, and they did not miss any movement around them. Luo Ying was concentrating on sketching the complex structure of the artillery on paper with a pen, and her eyes were shining with determination, as if she wanted to dismantle this unfamiliar machine one by one.
However, just as Luo Ying was fully engaged, the stone under her feet was accidentally kicked up and hit the cannon next to her, making a sharp sound. This sudden sound instantly broke the silence around and attracted the attention of the enemy.
Luo Ying knew something was wrong, but she remained calm. She quickly said to Shi Juyi and Shao Hanyue:
"Ju Yi, Han Yue, you two should leave first and meet at the grove later."
Upon hearing this, Shi Juyi showed a worried look on his face and asked nervously, "What about you?"
Luo Ying shook his head anxiously and urged:
"Don't worry about me. I still have one last step to go. You guys go first. I have my own way to get out of this."
Shao Hanyue was reluctant to see this, but she also knew that this was not the time to hesitate. She looked at Shi Juyi firmly and said:
"General Shi, you and I will act separately, each of us will attract the enemy's attention and buy more time for my sister."
After saying this, she turned back and told Luo Ying:
"Sister, you must be careful. We will meet in the grove, see you there!"
After that, Shao Hanyue and Shi Juyi split up and ran in different directions. Luo Ying took a deep breath and continued to focus on the artillery dismantling work in front of her. She knew that she couldn't be distracted at this moment, otherwise not only would all her previous efforts be wasted, but she might also fall into greater danger.
Luo Ying nervously and attentively studied and recorded the last structure of the cannon. At this moment, a familiar figure quietly appeared in front of her like a ghost. It was the man with the golden mask who had saved her from danger several times. He held a jade flute in his hand. The appearance, luster and aura of the jade flute were exactly the same as the one held by Feng Yequn in the magnolia forest.
Luo Ying's eyes fell on the jade flute, and she lost her balance instantly as if struck by lightning. Her legs softened, as if she had lost the strength to support herself, and she was about to fall. Just as she was about to collapse to the ground, the man in the golden mask quickly stretched out his arms, caught her steadily, and held her tightly in his arms.
Luo Ying looked up at him, her familiar eyes full of depth and mystery. Her voice trembled, as if she couldn't believe her own guess: "You...you...are not...you are definitely not him!"
When Feng Yequn heard her words, his heart felt like being pierced by thousands of sharp blades, and he could hardly breathe due to the pain. He knew that she had recognized him, but she was unwilling to believe this fact. He suppressed the pain in his heart and gently pulled away the veil on her face, revealing the familiar and beautiful face. He smiled gently, as if he wanted to pass all the warmth to her.
"I knew it was you." He said softly, "Why are you in our tent so late?"
Luo Ying was a little flustered by his gaze. She nervously hid the blueprint in her hand behind her back and answered hesitantly, "Nothing... nothing... I just came here to familiarize myself with the terrain."
Feng Yequn looked at her nervous and cute appearance, and a strong love surged in his heart. He stretched out his arms, put one hand around her waist, and held her head with the other hand. He smiled at her wickedly, lowered his head and blew warm breath into her ear, and said in her ear with a very charming voice:
"Would you like me to show you around in person? I'll also explain our situation to you so you can fully understand it.
Luo Ying was frightened by his sudden ambiguous behavior, as if the whole world had stopped. The blueprint in her hand slipped uncontrollably, like a butterfly that had lost its direction. She hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but saw that the blueprint was cleverly intercepted by Feng Yequn in mid-air. He gently brought the blueprint to his eyes, examining it deeply, as if he wanted to see through the mystery in it.
Luo Ying's heart instantly rose to her throat, and she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe. She stammered and explained: "That... I... I just..." Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Feng Yequn.
He gently stuffed the blueprint back into Luo Ying's waist, put his arms around her slender waist, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "How about I have someone send you a cannon so you can study it slowly?" His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of ambiguity that was barely noticeable.
Luo Ying was choked by his words and started coughing. She was nervous but also had a silly smile on her face: "Well...how can I feel embarrassed about that!" Her words revealed a bit of shyness and uneasiness.
Feng Yequn didn't seem to care about her refusal. Instead, he whispered in her ear more ambiguously: "As long as you like, I can send all fifty cannons to you." His voice seemed to carry some kind of magic, which made Luo Ying stunned in place for a moment, her heartbeat accelerated, and her cheeks slightly red.
At this moment, the voice of a demon soldier suddenly came from a distance: "Search the artillery area thoroughly!" The voice echoed in the open field, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between the two. Luo Ying and Feng Yequn looked at each other, and a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in their eyes.
Feng Yequn hastily embraced her in his arms and turned away from the search soldiers. He tightly wrapped one hand around her slender waist and gently lifted her head with the other. Before she could react, his lips had already covered hers tenderly. The kiss was like a spring breeze, gentle and affectionate, yet full of endless heat and desire. His heartbeat was as surging as the tide, and every beat was telling of his love and obsession with her.
Luo Ying wanted to push him away, but found that her body had been firmly locked in his arms, unable to move. She felt his strong heartbeat and hot breath, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
At this time, the footsteps of the demon soldiers were getting closer and closer. When they searched here, they saw the prince and a woman hugging each other and kissing passionately. The leading general saw the two people hugging and kissing at a glance, and couldn't help but exclaimed in astonishment: "Ah... It's His Royal Highness the Prince..."
The leading general reacted quickly and waved his hand to signal the soldiers not to disturb the couple. He was secretly glad that he had not disturbed the Crown Prince's good deeds. So, he decisively ordered: "No need to search the artillery area, leave quickly."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers put away their weapons and turned away.
When the demon soldiers gradually walked away, Feng Yequn finally let go of Luo Ying's hand. Luo Ying's face was as beautiful as the sunset, her eyes were shining with shyness and panic, her heart was beating like a drum, and she whispered in a trembling voice: "You...you...how can you do this."
Feng Yequn raised the corner of his mouth slightly, brushed his lips with his fingers, his eyes flashed with a cunning light, and smiled mischievously: "Just now... I was helping you!"
Luo Ying was even more angry when she heard this, but she didn't know how to refute. Feng Yequn took her hand and said softly: "I'll take you to the grove to meet them!"
Luo Ying raised his head in surprise, looked into Feng Yequn's deep eyes, and asked doubtfully:
"So...you've been here for a long time?"
Feng Yequn smiled slightly, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and said:
"I had already guessed that you would come to my military camp at night, so... I waited for you here."
Luo Ying was even more confused and couldn't help asking:
"Then... the sound of the jade flute in your camp just now..."
Feng Yequn blinked, a charming arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said:
"I knew you had arrived, so I blew it on purpose for you to hear."
Hearing this, Luo Ying's heart was beating fast and her face turned as red as a ripe apple. She stammered, "
"So, you...had already guessed...that I had already guessed your identity?"
Under the soft starlight, Feng Yequn's movements seemed particularly gentle. He gently held her in his arms, his fingertips gently brushing across her delicate nose, his affectionate eyes full of doting and reluctance. He whispered:
"I didn't hide it from you on purpose! I wanted to tell you when the monsters attacked the fairy garden! But I was worried that you would be in danger if you returned to heaven, so I kept my identity hidden and silently protected you by your side!"
Luo Ying's heart was deeply touched by his words, and the deep emotions were like a ignited flame, burning instantly. She couldn't help but tremble in her voice and asked tentatively:
"Then should I call you Brother Yequn... or... Prince Youming?"
Her words were full of doubt and expectation, her hands trembling uncontrollably as she slowly reached for the golden mask on his face. Under the mask, the mysterious and charming face was about to appear before her eyes, and her heartbeat accelerated as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
Under the baptism of the bright moonlight, she took off the golden mask on his face. The face that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar became more stern and handsome. Every contour seemed to be carefully carved, revealing an extraordinary temperament. His eyes were full of strong and indissoluble love, like the brightest stars in the night sky, shining only for her. Luo Ying's heart was broken at this moment, and she said tremblingly:
"Why is it you... You and Brother Yuchen are good brothers who have been through thick and thin together... How did you become enemies?"
When Feng Yequn heard her words, his face was filled with gloom. He gently let go of Luo Ying in his arms and sighed, as if he wanted to pour out all the helplessness and bitterness in his heart:
"I don't want this to happen either. The brotherhood between him and me is genuine and I cherish it very much. We met on the battlefield a thousand years ago and this day was destined to happen. We should have been natural enemies, but now we have become good brothers. Perhaps this is the opportunity for the gods and demons to shake hands and make peace. I am also trying my best to control and avoid a war between gods and demons."
Feng Yequn suddenly pulled Luo Ying into his arms and hugged her tightly. One of his hands was around her waist, and the other hand was holding her head, so that she could clearly feel his heartbeat and breathing. He stared into Luo Ying's eyes affectionately, as if he wanted to engrave her deeply into his heart:
"My father also knows that I love you deeply. That's why he arranged a small force to go to the Fairy Garden to test the God of War's host even though he knew that the host was in the Fairy Garden. It's better to say that he was testing whether the person I love is you. If he wasn't afraid of hurting you, the war between the Heavenly World and the Demonic World would have started from the sneak attack on the Fairy Garden! He wouldn't have alerted the enemy and given the Heavenly World a chance to prepare."
