Chu Yihan shot him a sharp glance. âI was asking about the female slave from just now.â
âI was referring to the female slave. The one who attends to you daily is never the same person. Thereâs no need to be fixated. But given your current condition, you might not be able to have a female slave. Letâs change your dressing first,â Chu Yifeng kindly advised, patting his shoulder.
Chu Yihan pushed his hand away in disgust.
Although he complied by lying on the bed, allowing Chu Yifeng to change his dressing, he remained unresponsive to Chu Yifengâs attempts at conversation.
When Chu Yifeng asked if the wound hurt or if there was any sensation, he dismissed it all as nonsense.
Chu Yifeng shook his head. âYouâre still as uninteresting as ever.â
Even Rong Sheng, who was usually reserved, could be forced to cry, but Chu Yihan remained impassive as if nothing could penetrate his demeanor.
His bad taste was triggered. When he deliberately pressed on Chu Yihanâs wound, Chu Yihanâs cold and bloodthirsty voice was heard. âI donât mind challenging you.â
âWith your current condition, how do you plan to challenge me?â Chu Yifeng sneered mercilessly.
Chu Yihanâs hand was already clenched around the Qingfeng Sword.
Chu Yifeng raised his hands in surrender. âFine, you win. I havenât even considered taking your life yet. Take care of yourself.â
Ah Hong, listening from outside, clicked his tongue in a sigh. âThose familiar with you might mistake you for brothers, while those unaware would assume youâre mortal enemies.â
Even applying the medicine, he could sense the eager sword energy of Chu Yihanâs Qingfeng Sword.
Once dressed, Chu Yihanâs lingering doubts sprouted like a seed. âI want that female slave.â
After washing his hands, Chu Yifeng wore a teasing smile. âYouâve just lost your new wife, and youâre already in a hurry? Arenât you afraid of your deceased Princess Consort finding out and feeling heartbroken?â
Su Yingxue, eavesdropping outside, wished she could tear Chu Yifeng apart.
This despicable person always twisted Chu Yihanâs intentions!
Chu Yihan was so upright, how could he be in such a rush?
Seemingly accustomed to Chu Yifengâs perverse amusement, Chu Yihan regarded him with even more disdain.
After the disdain came a simple, direct assertion. âI want that female slave.â
By the time he repeated it for the third time, Chu Yifeng had to confront the sword energy of the Qingfeng Sword.
Chu Yifeng had intended to say more, but he was momentarily blinded by the brilliance of the Qingfeng Sword. He shrugged as if conceding. âAlright, you can have her. I wouldnât be so stingy with you. Just take care of yourself. Rong Sheng wonât be available to save you tonight.â
âHmph!â Chu Yihanâs cold mockery spared no mercy.
Chu Yifeng shook his head. As he walked out of Chu Yihanâs room, he sighed in resignation. âAs the Pavilion Master, Iâve never been able to handle this younger brother of mine. If he wants a female slave, how could I refuse?â
With a seductive stride, he returned to his quarters.
Su Yingxue threw punches at him from behind. âScoundrel! Lunatic! Deliberately tarnishing Your Highnessâs name!â
It was obvious that Your Highness wanted her!
Certainly not any other female slave!
Humph!
Su Yingxue thought, venting her frustration, then remembered Chu Yifengâs words.
He had promised Chu Yihan the female slave.
Did this mean she would have to�
No!
Rong Sheng had said that Chu Yihan couldnât see her yet, or else he wouldnât be able to bear it!
When Ah Hong found Su Yingxue, he said, âThe Pavilion Master ordered that a female slave must be sent to the Ninth Princeâs room tonight. Miss Su, are you going? Or should I send someone else?â
âOf course Iâ¦I canât go!â Su Yingxue gritted her teeth in frustration.
If she could see Chu Yihan, would she need to dress up like this?
But to let someone else goâ¦
Su Yingxueâs heart ached a little.
