Chapter 108 Taking advantage of someone and leaving them with nothing

Leng Jie had considered Xuan Yuan's suggestion, but she couldn't disobey her master's words. Just like last time when she was sent to Qizhou to resolve the Leng family's crisis, if she had been late, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Therefore, she thought that since her master had specifically requested her to go quickly, there must be a reason. After Xuan Yuan finished speaking, she continued:

"Saving lives is urgent, let's wait for Ying to go and find out the situation before coming back. How much time will that take? By then it'll be too late!"

Xuanyuan thought for a moment and felt that Leng Jie's words made sense. He nodded and said:

"Saving lives is urgent, like putting out a fire. In that case, I'll go."

"Going to Beifeng at this time? Aren't you deliberately trying to give way to your elder brother, the Crown Prince?" Leng Jie shouted, both surprised and angry.

"Don't forget that you are the ruler of a country, and Qingfeng is the eldest prince of Beifeng. If you go to rescue him, it will inevitably cause a conflict between the two countries. What if Beifeng and Xiping join forces to attack Jingzhi? We will be attacked from both sides. If the crown prince then launches a coup or some kind of civil war in the chaos, just imagine how troublesome it will be. So you can't get involved in this matter."

He was well aware of the issues she raised. However, as a man, a ruler of a nation, how could he allow his beloved woman to face such danger? He had allowed her to wander for three years because she was in Jinghe, within his territory. He knew clearly that with the Dragon Gate, the golden token, and her quick wit, she would be safe. But now she was going to Beifeng Kingdom, a place beyond his control. Therefore, he could not allow her to be plunged into unknown peril.

Xuanyuan said firmly:

"Then I will visit Beifeng directly as the King of Jinghe."

"You!" Leng Jie glared at Xuan Yuan, speechless with anger. After a long while, she finally said helplessly:

"I know you're worried about my and my senior brother's safety. But since Master sent me to rescue my senior brother, it means I'm safe. Otherwise, do you think my master's title of 'Old Immortal' was just for show?"

“I know your master is powerful, but…”

"No buts, I can't disobey Master's orders. Therefore, it's settled." Before Xuanyuan could finish speaking, Leng Jie interrupted him, leaving no room for negotiation:

"We're not discussing whether I'll go or not right now, but what will happen after I leave," Leng Jie said before Xuan Yuan could speak.

"First, I'll leave Qing'er and Ye Ling'er here. After I leave, have Ying take them to Longmen to stay and wait for my return."

Now that his martial arts-skilled junior sister is in the harem, Leng Jie is really worried about leaving them at Qingfeng Residence.

"Secondly, I will write down the methods and precautions for preparing explosives and making grenades and landmines. You have Ying arrange for the people from Longmen to find a secluded place to manufacture them. This must be done in secret; the enemy must not know that we have new weapons." As she spoke, Leng Jie began to take out paper and pen to start writing.

Seeing that Xiao Jie completely ignored his expression and was stubbornly going her own way, Xuanyuan could no longer tolerate it. He snatched the paper and pen from her hand and threw them aside. Then, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, asking with a mixture of excitement and anger:

"Why are you always so stubborn and rational? You have to consider everything so thoroughly. Do you know that it makes me, a grown man, feel ashamed and useless? Can't you just be obedient and not think or do anything? Let me protect you?"

Leng Jie naturally wrapped her arms around Xuan Yuan's strong waist, raised her head to meet his gaze, and softly spoke in a voice she had never used before:

"If my assertiveness makes you feel inferior, that was never my intention. I only want you to be well! If you are well, Jinghe will be well, and if Jinghe is well, then the people will be well. If everyone is well, then I, as a resident of Jinghe, will naturally be well too! Am I being selfish?"

"No! You're just too good! You know what? I'd rather you were a little selfish." Xuan Yuan gazed into Leng Jie's clear eyes and replied emotionally, "You make me feel like you're an ethereal being, untouched by worldly concerns. Even now, holding you in my arms, I feel as if I'm in a dream. Xiao Jie, what should I do? How can I bear to let you go?"

Leng Jie's heart trembled involuntarily. Was she really that good? She always acted according to her own will, never considering the feelings of others. She always thought of herself as the epitome of selfishness. Every time she put on an ethereal, otherworldly act, she would despise herself in her heart. Because she felt that someone as self-centered as her, pretending to be a saint, was simply a desecration of the gods.

Seeing Leng Jie staring at him blankly without saying a word, Xuanyuan said again:

"Xiao Jie, let me go with you to rescue Qingfeng, okay? Afterwards, shall we go to Wuyou Valley to live in seclusion?"

Leng Jie nodded involuntarily, then shuddered and immediately came to her senses. She said seriously:

"What nonsense are you spouting! Are you trying to shirk responsibility?"

However, Xuanyuan had a strong premonition that Xiaojie would drift further and further away from him once she left.

Xuanyuan placed his hands on Leng Jie's shoulders, staring intently into her eyes as he spoke with utmost seriousness:

"In this world, you are the only one I care about. Without you, nothing else matters to me. This country and its people are the responsibility of my elder brother, the Crown Prince. Let him take it back."

Leng Jie's worst fears have finally materialized. A monarch without ambition is indeed a blessing for the people in times of peace. But in these turbulent times, it is definitely a curse rather than a blessing.

Leng Jie's face suddenly darkened, her gaze turning fierce as she glared at Xuan Yuan. She kicked Xuan Yuan hard in the shinbone. Startled by the sudden pain, Xuan Yuan involuntarily released Leng Jie and took a step back. Before he could react, Leng Jie shouted angrily again:

"Xuanyuan Yunli! I wholeheartedly helped you, but you deliberately tried to harm me! Do you want me to become a femme fatale who harms the country and its people, and bewitches the emperor?"

"That's why I gave up the throne! That way, if people want to criticize me, they'll criticize me, not you, right?" Xuanyuan stretched his legs and replied confidently.

Leng Jie suddenly felt an urge to strangle him. She felt that saying anything to him was pointless. So she glared at him, turned around, grabbed the pen on the table, and prepared to write something down and hand it directly to Ying.

Leng Jie had just written a few words when Xuan Yuan hugged her from behind. Her heart skipped a beat, and her hand trembled as she held the pen. A drop of ink fell, staining the words she had just written.

Leng Jie suddenly felt weak and slumped into Xuan Yuan's arms. The firmness on his back, which she could feel even through his clothes, made her fantasize involuntarily. She weakly turned her head to look at Xuan Yuan and saw that his phoenix eyes were already filled with desire.

What did she say? Men have needs, and women have needs too. Three years ago, her body was just developing, and she couldn't suppress her desires with reason. But now, she was a fully mature woman. She had never been a chaste and virtuous woman. With a stunningly handsome man right in front of her who truly loved her and was willing to give up his empire for her, she didn't want to wrong herself again, to let herself suffer until her nose bled.

Leng Jie tossed aside the calligraphy brush in her hand and turned to face Xuan Yuan. Her captivating eyes met Xuan Yuan's gaze with equal intensity. Her arms unconsciously wrapped around Xuan Yuan's neck. With a gentle push of her feet, her cherry-red lips pressed against Xuan Yuan's panting lips without hesitation. Sensing Xuan Yuan's involuntary trembling, Leng Jie deepened the exquisite kiss.

There was no pungent, astringent taste of tobacco in Xuanyuan's mouth. Instead, it had the light, sweet flavor she loved most, like a mountain spring. She gently sucked on the sweet saliva in Xuanyuan's mouth. Her nimble tongue playfully explored his mouth, probing and licking, causing Xuanyuan to tremble. Finally, Xuanyuan tightly held her tongue in his mouth, turning the tables and actively sucking on her sweetness.

Their lips met, their tongues intertwined, and a deep, lingering kiss fused two lonely souls that resonated with each other. At that moment, they automatically cast aside all obstacles, simply following their own will to create the most beautiful scene in the world.

Leng Jie's hands involuntarily wandered over Xuan Yuan's waist, gently caressing his sash. When her hand touched the flowing ribbon, she gave it a sharp tug, and Xuan Yuan's robes loosened. Her delicate hand slipped inside, causing Xuan Yuan to tremble slightly. Leng Jie hadn't expected men to be so sensitive. As her small hand slid towards Xuan Yuan's sensitive chest, he suddenly reached out and grasped her hand. His lips abruptly left hers, and he whispered urgently in her ear:

"No! You're injured!"

Leng Jie gave him a charming smile, tilted her head back, and bit his earlobe. She whispered softly:

"Li! I want you! As long as you relax and leave everything to me, nothing will happen."

"Boom!" Xuan Yuan's already burning desire, his brain on the verge of exploding, finally snapped. She actually said she wanted him! After a moment of stunned silence, Xuan Yuan scooped up Leng Jie in his arms. In two swift movements, he reached the bedside and gently placed her on it, saying:

"Xiao Jie, you are mine..." Before he could finish speaking, Leng Jie pulled down hard with her arms wrapped around Xuan Yuan's neck, and Xuan Yuan fell down. Because he was afraid of hurting her, Xuan Yuan kept his body supported by his elbows.

Leng Jie looked up and kissed Xuan Yuan's lips again, taking advantage of his passionate moment. Suddenly, she rolled over and pinned him beneath her, pressing her delicate body tightly against his. She whispered his name, gently pressing her lips to his, savoring the sweetness in his mouth. Her soft, delicate hands lightly caressed his well-defined curves. Until his eyes were glazed over, and his voice trembled as he pleaded with her, "Jie! I can't take it anymore!"

Leng Jie didn't let him off the hook, her nimble tongue gently sliding towards his collarbone. After a few moments of light licking, she suddenly sucked hard, leaving one or two neat rows of teeth marks. Only then did she softly guide him:

"You are mine, and you can only ever belong to me."

Suddenly, Xuanyuan stretched out his hands, braced himself against Leng Jie's shoulders, and leaped up. He then rolled over and gently placed Leng Jie back on the bed. With one hand lightly stroking the injury on Leng Jie's waist, he raised three fingers to his head and swore an oath:

"I, Xuanyuan Yunlu, swear on my life and soul! I will love only Leng Jie for all eternity, and cherish only Leng Jie! If I break this oath, I will..." Before Xuanyuan could finish speaking, Leng Jie silenced him with her lips.

Leng Jie knew better than he how effective the Xuanyuan family's blood oath was. She couldn't even control her own feelings in this life. How could she dare to bear his vows for all eternity? Besides, what if they were the same sex in the next life? Good heavens! What was he thinking?

As the saying goes, the spring night is fleeting, and Leng Jie quickly cleared her mind of all distractions. While engaging in a verbal battle with Xuan Yuan, she casually loosened her belt. She couldn't help but admire how practical the clothing designs of the ancients were.

The two sat facing each other on the bed, Xuan Yuan's arms wrapped around Leng Jie's back, gently stroking her. He was strongly suppressing his primal male instincts, afraid of aggravating Leng Jie's wounds. In truth, he had no idea how to ensure Leng Jie's safety while simultaneously achieving his own release.

Leng Jie sensed his nervousness, knowing it was his first time and he was afraid of hurting her. She gently encouraged him in his ear, "Li, lie down and let me love you. Don't worry, I won't hurt myself."

At this moment, Xuanyuan was completely immersed in Leng Jie's tender affection. He couldn't think of anything and simply obeyed her. She slowly lay down. Gently removing his clothes, she saw his flawless figure for the second time. Leng Jie couldn't help but swallow. Her initial desire to ravage him suddenly turned into reluctance. She slowly slid over him, her slender fingertips gently tracing his smooth, silky skin. Her tongue lightly licked his two sensitive pink nipples. Xuanyuan beneath her immediately felt a spasmodic tremor.

She quickly stripped off her clothes, her smooth, creamy skin immediately pressing tightly against the person beneath her. Both felt the other tremble. "Xiao Jie! My Xiao Jie!" Xuan Yuan cried out involuntarily, holding Leng Jie tightly in his arms.

"Yes, I'm here!" Leng Jie replied softly and groggily. At the same time, she found her target and sat down hard.

"Ah!" "Ah!" Two low moans rang out simultaneously. However, one was painful, and the other was pleasurable.

Although she was prepared for the pain, Leng Jie still couldn't help but cry out. Hearing Leng Jie's pain, Xuan Yuan involuntarily showed a worried expression and asked anxiously:

"Xiao Jie! Are you alright?"

Leng Jie smiled at him and leaned against him. She bit his ear and whispered, "Silly boy! This is a pain every woman has to endure. Don't worry. It'll be over in a minute."

Did she really think he was a fool? Xuanyuan was furious inside. He cherished her, knowing that a woman's first time was always painful, especially since she was already injured. That's why he planned to wait until she was ready before taking her. Although this was his first time, his father and elder brother had taught him many bedroom arts techniques. He had found them utterly disgusting then, but now his beloved Xiaojie was finally letting him experience the pleasure.

Already aroused, Xuanyuan instinctively wanted more. He gently caressed Leng Jie's body with both hands and whispered in a seductive voice:

"Leave the rest to me, okay?"

Leng Jie nodded involuntarily. She had to admit that she now had the desire but not the courage. Because that moment had really hurt, she felt it was even more painful than when the sword pierced her flesh.

Xuanyuan received Leng Jie's nod and immediately counterattacked... The hand-to-hand combat between the two escalated to a new level. They fought fiercely, until both let out excited cries, followed by simultaneous spasms. Only then did this most spectacular battle between a man and a woman in history come to an end.

Having endured both pain and pleasure, Leng Jie lay contentedly on Xuan Yuan's broad, strong, yet delicate chest and fell asleep.

A smile graced Xuanyuan's face as he gently embraced his beloved. Words like happiness and sweetness couldn't express the depth of his feelings. His beloved Xiaojie was truly lying in his arms, and he now completely possessed her. This made Xuanyuan, who had just moments before worried that she would leave him forever, feel that this happiness had come too quickly, almost unreal. His arms involuntarily tightened. But then, remembering her injuries, he quickly released his grip, replacing it with a gentle caress.

He gently stroked his cool, smooth skin, and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Xiao Jie! From now on, I will protect you. You want me to be an excellent king, and I will do my best. However, you must stay with me. I will never let you leave me again. Leave Qingfeng's matter to me; don't worry, I will definitely rescue him. As for the matters with Xiping Kingdom and the Crown Prince, you don't need to worry about them anymore. Believe me, as long as you are by my side, I can handle all of these things. So, just stay by my side obediently and don't go anywhere else!"

Xuanyuan didn't notice that the beautiful woman sleeping soundly in his arms had involuntarily furrowed her delicate eyebrows.

Leng Jie inwardly cried out in alarm, "What a blunder!" She began to regret not controlling her lust and bringing this enormous trouble upon herself. What to do now? She didn't want to be sentenced to life imprisonment just for having slept with a handsome man. Suddenly, her arched eyebrows arched upward, and her long, dark eyelashes fluttered mischievously. A sly smile flashed across her lips. Suddenly, she uttered a dreamlike murmur:

“Xuanyuan! Li…”

Upon hearing Leng Jie call his name in her sleep, Xuan Yuan was overjoyed. He gently stepped back, revealing Leng Jie's face, and then cast his burning gaze upon her delicate and beautiful face. Gazing at her sweet sleeping posture, a spring-like smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Suddenly, Leng Jie's eyes snapped open. A pool of clear water, like autumn water, gazed directly into Xuan Yuan's tender phoenix eyes. A moment later, the unsuspecting Xuan Yuan entered the hypnotic state Leng Jie had planned. Leng Jie carefully removed everything that had happened in her bed that night from Xuan Yuan's mind. Then, she took the opportunity to instill in him his agreement to let her go to Bei Feng to rescue Qing Feng, and some matters concerning what would happen after she left.

After brainwashing Xuanyuan, Leng Jie put him to sleep. Only then did she get up to clean up the scene. Although he still bore her marks, Leng Jie didn't care anymore. After dressing him properly, she tidied herself up. Once everything was ready, Leng Jie quickly wrote down what she needed to tell him on a piece of paper, put it in an envelope, and addressed it to Xuanyuan Yunli. Then she left a message for Ying, saying that Xuanyuan had been acupunctured by her because he wouldn't allow her to travel overnight. She instructed Ying to clap her hands near his ear to release the pressure points.

Setting down her pen, Leng Jie quickly packed her bags and checked her equipment. Finally, she gently placed a long, lingering farewell kiss on Xuan Yuan's sensual lips. At the same time, she said in her heart, "Goodbye, my love! I'll miss you!"

After leaving her room, Leng Jie first went to Qingfeng Pharmacy. She took all the poisons and ammunition she had spent the whole day making with her. Because she was going to a place full of unknowns, Leng Jie had to be well-prepared.

Qing'er and Ling'er had just suffered a blow, and she had just met them and promised to help Ling'er avenge her. So she couldn't just leave without saying goodbye. She gently knocked on Qing'er's door. The light immediately turned on inside. She hadn't expected her to be awake. Leng Jie called softly:

"Qing'er, it's me. Open the door quickly."

"Miss? Oh, you've arrived." A voice called out, and the door creaked open. Qing'er looked at Leng Jie, who was carrying a bundle and dressed in a close-fitting outfit. She asked in surprise:

"Miss, what are you doing?"

Leng Jie slipped into the room, casually closing the door behind her, and went straight to the point:

"I've come to say goodbye. I just received a letter from my master saying that my senior brother Qingfeng is in trouble in Beifeng and I need to go to his rescue immediately. You know that saving lives is urgent, so I have to set off now. You and Ling'er will go with Ying to my small courtyard outside the palace tomorrow. Everything is there, and it's convenient to come and go. Plus, the people there will take good care of you. Although you're more familiar with Qingfeng Residence, things in the palace are becoming increasingly complicated. I really don't feel comfortable leaving you two behind. You wait for me to return in the small courtyard outside the palace."

After Leng Jie finished explaining everything in one breath, she asked Qing'er:

Do you think this is a good idea?

"No!" Qing'er immediately replied, "Miss was just wounded by a sword tonight, how can she travel immediately? Even if she must travel, she needs someone to take care of her! Besides, Miss promised Qing'er tonight that she would never abandon Qing'er again. So Qing'er must go with Miss."

"What about Ling'er? Do you want to abandon her?" Leng Jie retorted.

"This..." Qing'er was speechless. She couldn't possibly abandon Ling'er, who was sick and injured. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she said:

"Let's take Sister Ling'er with us! After we rescue Young Master Qingfeng, he can heal Sister Ling'er's injuries."

Leng Jie pretended to faint! She shook her head and asked:

"My dear Qing'er, do you think Ling'er's current health can withstand the arduous journey? Besides, with you all following me like this, who is taking care of me, me or you?"

Qing'er's face fell again, and she pouted in dissatisfaction, remaining silent.

Leng Jie knew that her last sentence was a bit harsh, but if she didn't say it that way, Xiao Qing'er would go on and on like Xuan Yuan. She reached out and held Qing'er's small hand, and said earnestly:

"Listen to me, go with Lady Zi to stay outside the palace tomorrow and wait for me to return. Don't worry, your sister not only has a body of bronze and iron, but also the ability to travel to the heavens and the earth. So, I will definitely come back safely."
