The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 29

At this moment, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, her gaze fixed on Ru Feng.

Ru Feng hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Murong. I am fine."

"Young Master Yuchi, why are you so polite? I haven't thanked you for saving me last time yet. Hehe, it seems we are truly destined to meet." Murong Yinghe covered her mouth and giggled, looking at Rufeng with gratitude.

At this moment, Bai Shaojun chased away all the bystanders, just to give Murong Yinghe a chance.

Ru Feng hurriedly declined, deciding to resolve the matter once and for all: "Miss, you don't need to take it to heart. It was just a small favor. The horse was frightened at the time, and as someone who practices martial arts, I should have helped whoever was on horseback."

Murong Yinghe's face paled slightly, but she still managed a smile: "Young Master Yuchi, you can just call me Yinghe, we're already so familiar with each other." This implied that if Rufeng liked Yinghe, he should call her by her given name, as not just anyone could address a young lady by her given name.

Ru Feng made a face in his mind. Of course, he couldn't call her by that name, or he would have another wife.

She waved her fan, her eyes seemingly glancing around casually, but her gaze was intentionally or unintentionally fixed on Yu Jue.

The three people, including Yu Jue, who were not far away, looked at her with confusion. Yu Jue and Yun Tianze did not understand, while Yu Xuan was looking forward to watching the show, so he stood by and watched.

Ru Feng sighed inwardly and said softly, "Isn't this inappropriate? How can you just call a young lady by her name like that? If my future wife finds out, I'll be in big trouble."

He sighed as he spoke, his eyes darting left and right.

Mu Ke Yinghe's face turned even paler than before. Her red lips trembled as she asked repeatedly, "Young Master Yuchi, what do you mean by this? Do you already have someone you love?"

Bai Shaojun was even angrier than Murong Yinghe: "Yuchi Rufeng, my cousin is being kind to you by speaking to you, and you dare to upset her? Do you have a death wish? Or are you still thinking about Wu Yan?"

Bai Shaojun fought for his cousin's chance for two reasons: first, Murong Yinghe had feelings for Rufeng, otherwise she wouldn't have sent someone to propose marriage; second, Bai Shaojun believed that once Yuchi Rufeng married his cousin, given his cousin's abilities, Yuchi Rufeng would have no chance of competing with him for Wuyan.

So when he saw his cousin losing, he quickly stepped in to help.

Ru Feng's eyes darted around, and he said with a serious face, "Bai Shaojun, that's not right. You know perfectly well that I can't get married before I'm twenty. If I really do *that* now, wouldn't that be wasting a young woman's youth? You know, a young woman's youth is limited. How can I hold someone back?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Yinghe's worry turned to joy: "Young Master Yuchi is truly kind-hearted. I... I'm only fourteen years old, and I'll only be eighteen in four years." After saying this, she twisted her body, constantly stroking the small braid hanging down her chest, while her eyes kept glancing at Rufeng. Anyone with eyes could tell what she meant.

Ru Feng felt a chill run down her spine. Eighteen years old is still considered young for a girl in Zi Luo Kingdom, so her older sister Ru Xue is nineteen and still unmarried, and her grandfather isn't in a hurry. But she didn't expect that Murong Ying He is still so young!

If that doesn't work either, it seems I'll have to make do with my junior sister.

So, she hardened her heart and said loudly, "Hehe, it seems that Miss Murong is about the same age as my junior sister. Hehe, it's a pity that my junior sister is not as well-mannered as Miss Murong. That little one is very wild and restless. But what can I do? I like her." Her face was full of tender affection as she spoke.

Murong Yinghe's face, which had finally regained its rosy hue, turned pale again. This time, however, she abandoned her pretense and directly retorted, "Yuchi Rufeng, what do you mean by this? Do you really like your so-called junior sister?" As she spoke, she put her hands on her hips.

Ru Feng felt relieved; it seemed she really was, as the rumors said, a passionate and beautiful woman.

In this way, Ru Feng pretended to be startled, shrank his shoulders, and exclaimed, "Miss Murong!"

Murong Yinghe then realized her actions, her face flushing red and then pale. She quickly lowered her hand and stammered, "Young Master Yuchi! I...I..."

Ru Feng quickly snapped his fan shut and said, "Excuse me, I have to go now. Have a good time here."

After saying that, he turned and walked away. In the blink of an eye, Ru Feng had already run to Yu Jue and the others.

“Cousin, didn’t I tell you not to speak loudly? Haven’t you heard? Yu Chi Ru Feng likes gentle and considerate women.” Bai Shao Jun, who was standing to the side, finally realized what was happening and pounded his chest in frustration.

Murong Yinghe also looked annoyed: "How should I know? I just wanted to shout when I was angry, I didn't mean to." After saying that, she glanced at Ru Feng's back, glared at Bai Shaojun, and ran away. The maid who had been standing next to her quickly chased after her.

Ru Feng ran to Yu Jue and the others and whispered, "Let's leave here quickly. The competition is almost over. Let's go back to the academy first."

Yu Xuan raised an eyebrow, suppressed a smile, and left.

Actually, Yu Xuan and Yu Jue could hear the conversation just now, except that Yun Tianze didn't know martial arts, so they knew why Ru Feng wanted to leave so badly.

"Ru Feng, do you really like your junior sister?" After walking quickly for a while, Yu Jue finally spoke.

Ru Feng turned her head, looked at Yun Tianze, and seeing that he seemed unwell, replied, "How could that be? My junior sister is like a younger sister to me. How could I possibly like my younger sister?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jue breathed a sigh of relief, but then he wondered why he felt relieved.

For the rest of the journey, Yu Jue remained lost in thought, paying no attention to anyone else. Yun Tianze was also focused on making his way and catching his breath, so he didn't have the energy to say anything either. Thus, it was only Yu Xuan and Ru Feng who talked the rest of the way.

"Hey shorty, you're doing pretty well, aren't you? Even Bai Shaojun's cousin is infatuated with you! But why did you run away like there was a ghost behind you just now?" Yu Xuan said mockingly as he climbed the stone steps.

Ru Feng frantically waved her fan, lifted her skirt with one hand, rolled her eyes, and said, "What's it to you? Just say you're jealous."

"Hmph, marrying that kind of woman would be a hassle. I doubt she could even take a concubine. Qingding would be making a huge fuss about it." Yuxuan exclaimed upon hearing Rufeng's words.

"Anyway, I don't like her, so why should I waste her youth? It's better to make things clear sooner rather than later." Ru Feng frowned, then suddenly asked very seriously, "Yu Xuan, will you marry many wives in the future?"

Ru Feng's expression was very serious and earnest, so Yu Xuan was stunned and did not answer.

Seeing this, Ru Feng turned around and looked at Yu Jue and Yun Tianze, asking them again earnestly, "What about you? Will you marry many wives in the future?"

The three of them glanced at Ru Feng from head to toe before Yu Xuan clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Haha... Ru Feng, in our Zi Luo Kingdom, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Marry only one? How is that possible?"

"And you?" Ru Feng looked at Yu Jue. Yu Jue thought for a moment before saying softly, "If it's someone I love, one person is enough for me, but..." He frowned and didn't finish his sentence.

Yun Tianze took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat before slowly saying, "Why would I marry so many people with my current health? It would just be a waste of other people's youth."

Ru Feng gazed at Yun Tianze's flushed face with lust, drooling as he said, "Tianze, you're so beautiful, the women who marry you will probably feel inferior, so you can probably only marry one, hehe."

Yun Tianze glanced sideways at Ru Feng, whose eyes were truly alluring and captivating.

Ru Feng was startled, staring straight at him: "Look, look, just one glance is enough to surpass all the women in the world. You are here to make others furious. If you were a woman, you would definitely be a femme fatale!"

Yun Tianze glanced at Yu Xuan and Yu Jue, then looked at Ru Feng, and said, "When it comes to femme fatales, I'm not one of them yet."

Ru Feng raised an eyebrow, puzzled: "Is there perhaps a woman in the world more beautiful than you?"
