Chapter 29

Huangfu Jun?!

Sang Yuanyuan widened her eyes in shock. "How could it be him?"

"Hmm?"

You Wuming lowered his head and stared at her with his dark eyes. "Could it be that Little Sang Guo has some kind of relationship with Huangfu Jun?"

She tilted her head and looked at him. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.

How should she put it?

During the Battle of Tiandu, it was fortunate that Huangfu Jun turned the tide and saved the Emperor from danger. He personally killed the evil villain You Wuming and eliminated a monstrous calamity.

He was a legendary man. He was very, very powerful.

With the power of his family, he protected the entire Eastern Territory and changed the name of the Huangfu Prefecture to the Eastern Prefecture. This meant that the territory of the Huangfu Clan could no longer contain the power of the Huangfu Clan. The entire Eastern Territory belonged to him.

It was rumored that Huangfu Jun was the man behind the Empress. Out of love, he was willing to stand behind her and be her most solid and invisible support.

Huangfu Jun also had another identity. He was You Wuming's uncle.

His sister was the wife of the old King You and You Wuming's mother.

Therefore, it was unexpected and reasonable for the 'remnants of the old King' to be related to Huangfu Jun.

"Eastern Region is so powerful. Why would they do such a thing?" Sang Yuanyuan frowned.

You Wuming sneered. "Little Sang Guo, if you like the land in Eastern Region, I'll buy it for you later."

Sang Yuanyuan was speechless.

He tilted his head to the side and sneered. "What's so good about it? It's just producing golden pearls. If I liked that kind of thing, the entire You Prefecture would have been planted with colorful pearls!"

It was so spicy.

Sang Yuanyuan felt the need to explain. "Pearls are not planted. They are produced from mussels."

…

The 30,000 strong army set off in an eerie silence.

You Wuming was expressionless, as if he had made up his mind not to talk to Sang Yuanyuan or anyone else.

After walking for more than a hundred li, Sang Yuanyuan could not help but ask, "Has the jade slip not been delivered to Father yet?

About the Eastern State … "

A large hand interrupted her.

He leisurely put a hand over most of her face and covered her mouth.

His palms were dry and warm with thick calluses. Pressing her like this gave her an indescribable sense of security.

"Don't mention that damn pearl," he said coldly.

Sang Yuanyuan almost laughed.

When he was done, he released her and nodded his chin at the top of her head, indicating that she could speak now.

Sang Yuanyuan coughed lightly and said seriously, "The Huangfu family is not to be underestimated.

I know you're not afraid of a direct confrontation with them, but it will definitely be a fierce battle where both sides suffer. If that's the case, won't the Jiangs benefit be taken advantage of? "

You Wuming smiled coldly. "If we kill Huangfu Jun, Kang Yanji will have one less dog."

Sang Yuanyuan felt that his words were not appropriate. Huangfu Jun was the king of wolves, not a dog.

However, it was not the right time to go against his wishes.

Thus, she leaned closer to him and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the rumors on the streets are true?

Does your Uncle Huangfu really have an unspeakable relationship with the empress?

If that's the case, your enemies will be even stronger. "

You Wuming looked into the distance. "They will all die."

Sang Yuanyuan: "Yes, yes!"

You Wuming cast a sidelong glance at her and was very dissatisfied. "Little Sang Guo, you're patronizing me."

She turned around and smiled at him. Her smile made him a little dizzy, and he hurriedly pushed her head back.

She was actually very curious about what You Wuming had experienced to become such a twisted demon king.

He had a weak body since he was young, and when he was five years old, his heart disease acted up and he almost died. Fortunately, his Uncle Huangfu Jun found a panacea and saved his life.

Old King You and his wife really doted on this precious only child who had escaped death. They even specially changed his name to Wuming, which meant that he had already died once, and they didn't want the heavens to come and collect him again.

The couple attached great importance to this only heir, and they gave him whatever he wanted.

Logically speaking, such a person would either grow up to be a hedonistic son or a benevolent ruler.

Who knew that after this demon king grew up, the first thing he did was to exterminate his own family.

These things were said to You Wuming after Huangfu Jun beheaded him.

No matter who saw it, they would have a fair evaluation — You Wuming was a pervert who deserved to die.

Originally, Sang Yuanyuan was the same as everyone else, thinking that perverts were all natural things. However, after she heard what his mother said to him in the Memory Bead, she realized that there must be an extremely important and unknown factor in You Wuming's growth.

It was this factor that caused him to become what he was today.

Unfortunately, she couldn't ask him now.

Those things, whoever touched them would die.

She gently leaned on his chest and muttered, "Sang Zhou should be able to help you solve this matter."

You Wuming tilted his head, grabbed her head, and turned her face to him. He said with a strange expression, "Little Sang Guo, although I have extraordinary charm, you're not a little girl who hasn't seen the world. Why are you so infatuated with me?"

Sang Yuanyuan was thinking about her own matters, and her gaze was a little blank. She looked up at him, "Ah?"

You Wuming's mouth twitched, "Ask my father-in-law to die for me?

No, no, no, Little Sang Guo, I can't do such a thing. "

He added, "I'm not Han Shaoling."

"Who wants to die," she said angrily, "We'll all live well together."

Her eyes moved, her red lips slightly pouted, and her expression was serious, as if she was making a promise for life.

You Wuming's expression cracked for a moment, and he hurriedly turned her head back.

She could clearly feel that his heart had skipped a beat.

Suddenly, a stream of air fell from the top of her head.

The moment her heart palpitated, her breathing became chaotic.

She hesitated for a moment, and decided to take a risk.

She gently leaned on his chest, revealing her slender neck.

She looked up at him, and her gaze swept over his Adam's apple, and fell on his beautiful jawline.

Her voice was very soft, with a hint of charm, "Didn't you say that if I make you confused again, you'll kill me?"

You Wuming stiffly looked down at her.

"If you're confused, why don't you kill me?"

She pointed a finger at his heart, and breathed out at his seductive thin lips, "You can't bear to."

His forehead clearly jumped a few times.

His lips tightened, and the corners of his lips turned down slightly.

He stared at her, and his gaze started from those limpid eyes, slowly slid down the small bridge of her nose, past her rosy lips, and fell on her neck.

That fragile, beautiful, and elegant neck was exposed in front of him without any defense.

He could break it with just a light pinch.

His breathing became heavier.

It fell heavily on her fair skin.

Then, he clearly saw that where his breath passed, a faint layer of crimson gradually appeared.

She was dyed by him?

He was slightly stunned, and his heartbeat became chaotic again.

Two small dimples appeared on her rosy cheeks, "Since you can't bear to, then don't say such harsh words."

"See how I deal with you tonight.

See if I can bear to! "He said angrily in her ear.

Her lips curved slightly, and she looked askance at him, bargaining with him, "Let's get married first!"

He hesitated.

After a while, he said, "No.

Once I let go, you'll run away and never come back. "

"I won't." She said without thinking.

"Others will."

He stood up, his expression indifferent, "No one will trust me. If they really want you, they won't be willing to hand you over to me."

Sang Yuanyuan opened his mouth, but found that he was telling the truth.

If he let her go back to Sang, Sang Zhou would never agree to marry her.

They would hide her, and You Wuming wouldn't be able to find her for the rest of his life.

"Then let's put the marriage on hold. Let's deal with the matter at hand first."

After a short silence, she raised her big smile again, "You Wuming, can you promise me one thing?"

"You first."

"When we're not strong enough, don't rashly make a move against Tiandu, okay?" She hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can think about it at length."

No matter what, don't let Nether Demon get in here.

He was stunned, "Didn't you want me to not touch you first?

What are you talking about? "

She pursed her lips and smiled, "I like you. If you really want to touch me, then touch me. I'm willing.

We're together every day, and in the eyes of others, we've already … Actually, it's not that important. How can something like innocence be more important than you? "

You Wuming's face sank, "If anyone dares to talk about it, I'll make them shut up forever."

"Then will you let the rumors become reality?" she asked him faintly.

You Wuming, "… …"

Such a delicious little fruit was placed in front of him every day, and he forced himself not to eat it?

What kind of logic was this?

He said fiercely, "After dealing with Han Shaoling, I'll take you back to Sang Zhou and ask for a marriage contract.

It's best if they agree, but if they don't, I'll directly take you away and open the door. "

Unknowingly, he had taken another step back.

"Okay." She ignored the devilish word "open the door" and smiled sweetly at him.

You Wuming felt dizzy again. He thought that it must be because his injuries had not completely healed.

He felt that he shouldn't be tempted by her for the time being.

He didn't know what this girl was made of, but she was like a soft crystal ball that made people want to eat her up, but they couldn't bear to.

He was a little unsure whether this Little Sang Guo would really make him lose interest like those people said.

It was fine to stay for a while longer.

Everything was under control.

He raised his head and proudly looked into the distance, deciding to ignore her.

"Before we reach Jade Gate Pass, don't talk to me again," he said slowly and arrogantly.

Sang Yuanyuan was left with nothing to do.

She just happened to want to cultivate quietly for a while.

She immersed her mind and sensed Mu Lingyun around her.

A few days ago, she had a feeling in her heart that she was about to break through.

The lush green Wood Spirit slowly seeped into her body, and the green Spirit Essence in her body gradually changed color, becoming pinkish green. It seemed a little lighter, but in fact, the original yellow layer had been removed, leaving behind only a pure green.

Sang Yuanyuan was a little anxious.

She had already tried several times in this state, but every time the color was about to stabilize, it would recede like the tide, leaving behind only a faint green, as if it was mocking her.

She knew that this was the so-called bottleneck.

When she had cleansed her meridians and marrow, she had done it far more thoroughly than ordinary people. According to the common saying, her spiritual roots were pure, and her aptitude was superior.

In the process of cultivation, the speed at which she absorbed Spirit Essence was far faster than ordinary people, but after these days of cultivation, she found that she still encountered bottlenecks. She didn't feel like she had cheated at all.

At this moment, she was trying to break through the bottleneck again, and clearly felt that her strength was lacking.

Just as she was about to reach the bottleneck, her Spirit Essence couldn't be replenished again, and she still failed at the last step.

The Spirit Essence in her body began to turn green, and the pinkish green that represented a breakthrough scattered in all directions, turning into the source of the Wood Spirit, returning to heaven and earth.

Sang Yuanyuan sighed inwardly, and decided to rest for a while, recovering her energy before trying to break through again.

At this moment, a swift and violent Spirit Essence vortex suddenly formed, and the dissipating Wood Spirit couldn't resist at all, and was wrapped up by the vortex, rushing into her body.

Sang Yuanyuan didn't hesitate, and firmly held on to them, not letting go.

In an instant, her mind became clear, and her body glowed. The pinkish green color flowed through her skin, and a sense of strength filled her body.

She had broken through!

She let out a long breath, and opened her eyes.

It was already night time.

She subconsciously turned around to look at You Wuming.

She knew that he had helped her.

There was a soldier holding a lantern walking by the side, and the cold light shone on You Wuming's excessively white beautiful face, making him look like a cold and charming Yama.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at her, a trace of pride floating in his dark eyes, as if to say — What is as difficult as ascending to heaven for you, is just a piece of cake for me. No need to thank me, I won't bother with you.

So Sang Yuanyuan calmly turned her gaze away.

You Wuming: "…"

She didn't have the time to entertain him.

After breaking through to the Second Sky of the Spirit Hidden Realm, the most obvious change was that the subtle sounds around her had become clearer.

Originally, in this quiet wilderness, when she focused her mind to listen, her ears could only catch a whole patch of white noise.

But at this moment, those sounds were actually clearly categorized. As long as she listened carefully, she would be able to distinguish which ones were the movements of small insects, which ones were the whispers of people, and which ones were the rustling sounds of the natural growth of plants and trees.

She could feel that these sounds were being transmitted among the plants, faintly resonating with the pinkish-green spiritual essence in her body.

A burst of ecstasy rose in her heart.

Now she was a hundred percent sure that the "eavesdropping" ability, which sometimes worked but sometimes didn't, was a skill that came with breaking through.

As her cultivation increased, the range of her perception would definitely increase, and become clearer. As long as there were plants, nothing could escape her ears!

It turned out that the purity of spiritual roots to the extreme had some benefits.

Sang Yuanyuan took a deep breath, and planned to continue working hard and continue cultivating. Who knows, You Wuming might not be able to stand it, and give her a 'duang', which would make up for several days of her hard work.

She would be an idiot if she didn't take advantage of it.

You Wuming's body moved lazily.

He took out a glowing jade slip, and handed it to Sang Yuanyuan.

"You Wuming." A suppressed trembling voice came from the jade slip. "What did you do to little sister?"

The jade slip was delivered to Sang Du!

Sang Yuanyuan was about to take the jade slip and answer when she saw You Wuming retract his hand with a 'whoosh'. He put the jade slip to his mouth and said maliciously, "I ate it. What are you going to do to me?"

A few gasps could be heard from the other side of the jade slip.

The lion of Sang Province's King roared, "Brat, you're courting death!"

Sang Yuanyuan hurriedly turned around, grabbed You Wuming's wrist, and stared at him with an aggrieved expression.

He snorted softly, closed his hand, and crushed the jade slip.

She blinked, and tears immediately filled her eyelashes.

You Wuming said, "… There's a lot."

He took out seven or eight jade slips in a row, and slapped them into her palm.

"Can I talk to them alone?"

She looked at him, and a bashful expression appeared on her face. "There are some things that I'm really embarrassed to say in front of you."

You Wuming wasn't very happy. He raised his chin towards the distance and said, "That's good. I can't bear to hear that old thing Sang Chengyin's voice either."

Look, he's already calling me a widow.

Sang Yuanyuan smiled shyly. Holding the jade slip in one hand and grabbing his arm with the other, she flipped down from the Cloud Beast and ran into the distance.

You Wuming stared at her back, and his dark eyes gradually deepened.

Her voice was getting further and further away.

"Father, the matter of the assassination attempt actually went like this …"

You Wuming patted Short-lived's head casually and said, "Look, I gave her a chance. If she wanted to run away or scheme against me, then she would become the most pitiful person in the world.

I won't sympathize with her! "

Short-lived snorted.

It felt that its master liked to think too much.

But then again, if it didn't think too much, its master would have become a dead person long ago.

So, should I think too much about it?

Short-lived felt that this question was too profound. Although it had a big brain, it really couldn't understand.

"Tell me." You Wuming's voice became lighter. "If she wanted to scheme against me, what would she say to me when she came back?

Would she say — "

He pinched his voice and swayed his body, imitating a woman's voice and tone, and said, "You Wuming, don't worry. I've already convinced my father. As long as you come back to Sangzhou with me, everything can be solved!"

He paused for a moment. His breath was still, and his voice was gloomy and murderous. "It's impossible to solve.

Kang Yanji won't admit to the evidence. How could she miss such a good opportunity to let her dog bite me? "

"You all want me dead." He slowly raised his head. "I'll let you die first."

"In this world, no one will be truly good to me … So what if she likes me? She can't be the enemy of the whole world for me.

Look, as long as she has the slightest chance, she'll do something behind my back and arrange a way out for herself … I'll kill her. When she comes back, I'll kill her!

Unless … "

"She comes over and kisses me first.

Well, then I'll let her live a little longer. "He stretched out the tip of his red tongue and slowly touched his upper lip.

Short-lived shook its furry head and let out a long sigh.

At this moment, Sang Yuanyuan had just finished discussing with her parents and brother. She held the last jade slip and stood in the distance, quietly listening to You Wuming talk to himself.

She knew that when he was alone, he often muttered to himself.

As expected, he still didn't trust her.

This man was too insecure.

She squeezed the last jade slip and went through the plan she had just discussed with her father and brother. Then, she calmed her breathing and ran back to You Wuming's side.

He lazily held the reins and looked at her quietly with his dark eyes. She couldn't see his emotions.

After all, he was a true king.

When he didn't want others to see his emotions, he was like a deep sea that no one could pry into.

He rode on the cloud beast and looked down at her from above.

She didn't speak rashly. Her chest rose and fell violently, as if she couldn't breathe properly.

A dancer on the tip of a knife was always testing her acting skills.

She knew that You Wuming would definitely be suspicious of her finding Short-lived outside the Great Wall.

Moreover, she had heard those words about the 'superintendent'. He must have guessed that she had some kind of extraordinary hearing ability.

Therefore, his words just now were both sincere and probing.

If she really kissed him the moment she came back, then it would really be over. He would think that everything she did was just to cater to him and not sincere.

She panted for a while, and her breathing finally evened out.

She smiled at him.

"Father and I have discussed a plan." She curved her eyes. "Come closer and I'll tell you."

The corners of her lips curled up, and her little face was full of pride.

You Wuming was stunned for a moment.

His dark eyes slowly turned, and his lips curled up into a smile. He bent down and put his ear in front of her.

She tiptoed slightly and wrapped her arms around his neck. The tip of her nose was against his black hair, and she whispered in his ear.

After a while, she let go of him, and her eyebrows curved even higher. She asked him in a tone that seemed to be asking for praise, "How was it?"

He stood up and looked at her for a moment.

She raised her face and looked at him openly, her eyes full of pride and contentment.

You Wuming suddenly laughed. "Only Sang Chengyin would have some credibility."

He thought about it carefully and felt that there wasn't much of a flaw in it.

If Sang Zhou was sincere about helping him.

"Little Sang Guo." He raised his head arrogantly and looked down at her. "If you only want to talk about this matter, why do you have to avoid me?"

Then, he saw two faint red blobs on her cheeks.

Her big watery eyes flashed twice, and the unique shyness of a young girl overflowed, making his throat feel dry.

"I was afraid that before you got married, you wouldn't be able to control yourself …" She clasped her hands in front of her and unconsciously started to pinch her nails. "So I asked Mother if there was anything I should pay attention to when being a husband and wife for the first time …"

You Wuming was stunned. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his voice suddenly became hoarse. "What did Mother-in-law say?"

"Mother said that if you could wait until after the wedding, that would be the best. She would naturally prepare a dowry for me.

If you really can't wait, you can, you can use Bai Zhou's specialty, Hibiscus Rouge. You can, can … can reduce the pain to a minimum … "

Her voice became softer and softer, and in the end, it was almost inaudible.

You Wuming happily raised the corners of his lips.

"Okay."

He pulled her onto the back of his short-lived horse and put his arms around her. He rested his chin on her shoulder and looked at her red earlobes. He couldn't help but be in a good mood.

"Little Sang Guo," he said in a charming voice. "Don't you want to kiss me?"

She looked around and said in a low voice, "There are too many people."

You Wuming laughed and pulled the reins. His short-lived horse left the army far behind.

Their first kiss was in the wilderness.

At this moment, it was as if the scene was replaying itself.

There was no moon today, and a bit of starlight was reflected in each other's eyes. The night was pervasive, and only the silhouettes of the two people could be seen.

He used his fingertips to lift her chin and lowered his head. He wasn't in a hurry to kiss her, but carefully felt her breathing.

"Little Sang Guo." His clear voice was tinged with a touch of hoarseness. "I've taught you so many times, you should have learned a bit, right?"

Her heart inexplicably flustered for a moment.

This atmosphere was very strange. His breath seemed to be everywhere, entering her pores and making her feel a little dizzy. Her heartbeat became louder and louder.

His breathing gradually quickened, and he finally kissed her.

A wave of fear rose from the bottom of her heart and spread to her limbs and bones.

After a moment of tossing and turning, the tenderness deepened. His hands tightened, and he hated that he couldn't press the person in his arms to death.

As the army approached, he let go of her and gently exhaled. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Hibiscus Rouge? After we kill Han Shaoling, I'll immediately take you to buy it!"
