She found the nearest water source and washed all the sticky juice off her hands. They were soon back to their smooth, fair state.

Lou Yue took a look, and once more, she felt like passing out!

OMG. Miss Feng Wu, that water, that water was… Eternal Sacred Spring!

It had cost them a small fortune to transport it all the way here from the south; several spiritual beasts had died on the way. Moreover, they only had a small jar of it in total and Miss Feng Wu had just washed her hands with several spoonfuls of it. His Royal Highness would be so furious.

Lou Yue didn’t dare look at Jun Linyuan’s face.

“Done.”

Feng Wu ran back to Jun Linyuan happily and showed him her hands. “Look how clean they are. Haha, you’ve got some nice water here. It feels spiritual and has a pleasant scent.”

Lou Yue vented her sarcasm inwardly. Of course it smelled nice. That was Eternal Sacred Spring! One drop of it was worth ten thousand gold taels. And Miss Feng Wu had just washed her hands with it? What was more, His Royal Highness hadn’t even tried to stop her!

“Hm.” Jun Linyuan grunted.

“Right, Lou Yue was talking about what happened down there. Now, please go on.” Feng Wu went up to Lou Yue and tried to help her to her feet.

But Lou Yue didn’t dare stand up, for His Royal Highness hadn’t punished her yet.

Seeing that Feng Wu wasn’t able to pull Lou Yue up and almost fell over during the process, Jun Linyuan was displeased. He glared at Lou Yue. “Are you waiting for me to help you now?!”

Lou Yue broke into a cold sweat!

She was waiting for her punishment, but as it turned out, His Royal Highness had forgotten about it already?

Lou Yue waved her hands in a hurry. “No, of course not.”

She finally understood what Feng had told her.

Offending Miss Feng Wu was much worse than offending His Royal Highness.

Lou Yue didn’t expect Miss Feng Wu to be able to stop His Royal Highness from killing her that easily, and she was still finding it difficult to digest that information…

She knew that Miss Feng Wu was very important to His Royal Highness, but she didn’t realize that it was an understatement.

“Miss Lou, do tell. What happened to Ye Yafei, Mu Yaoyao, and Princess Jun Wuxia?” Feng Wu asked curiously, making no attempt to hide her gossipy tone.

Lou Yue was able to understand why the crown prince cared about Miss Feng Wu so much.

She had met many noble ladies before and none of them showed their true selves in front of Jun Linyuan. They always behaved so perfectly, as if every move they made was measured by a ruler. To His Royal Highness, every last one of them was probably as pretentious as the next. None of them could be as real as Miss Feng Wu.

At that thought, Lou Yue liked Feng Wu even more.

“Ye Yafei…

“Mu Yaoyao…”

Seeing that Feng Wu enjoyed the gossip, Lou Yue told her everything that had happened on the fifth flood.

With a bag of pine nuts in her hands, Feng Wu was absorbed in Lou Yue’s narration as she ate. She enjoyed the story a lot.

“Will Ye Yafei be punished after she gets back home?” Feng Wu tilted her head and asked.

“Well…” Lou Yue glanced at Jun Linyuan. His Royal Highness was probably the only one that could answer that question.

“Miss Feng Wu, do you want Ye Yafei to be punished?”

“Of course! She insulted me, she should live with the consequences! And Mu Yaoyao, too. She has a habit of throwing mud at me. That girl has a foul mouth.”

Lou Yue stole a glance at Jun Linyuan and said a silent prayer for Mu Yaoyao and Ye Yafei…

Those two couldn’t have chosen a worse enemy than Miss Feng Wu.

“By the way, what about Princess Jun Wuxia?” Feng Wu quickly glanced at Jun Linyuan.

“No one has shown up from the royal palace yet, so the princess is still waiting on the fifth floor, but I don’t think Her Royal Highness is too happy about the arrangement.”

Feng Wu darted another look at Jun Linyuan. She was impressed by the young crown prince. Wasn’t he afraid that the empress would give him trouble?

Lou Yue then saw that His Royal Highness was eyeing her impatiently. Her stomach lurched and she withdrew from the room, leaving the young couple to themselves.

“Are you sure the empress won’t give you trouble for this?” Feng Wu went up to Jun Linyuan and asked curiously.

“What trouble?” Jun Linyuan looked at Feng Wu in bewilderment.

Feng Wu was speechless.

Just then, Little Phoenix woke up with a yawn and picked up on Jun Linyuan’s familiar aura right away!

“The bead! The bead! My abnormal flame bead!”

Little Phoenix was so agitated that it almost banged its head against the wall.

Feng Wu jolted.

Shit. She had forgotten all about it.

She scratched her head, feeling a little guilty.

The bird burst into tears. “You don’t care about me! You don’t care about me at all! I see that now! Waa —”

Feng Wu thought her head was going to explode. “Of course I care about you!”

“What?” Jun Linyuan looked up and stared at her.

“Gosh —” Feng Wu put her hands over her mouth and was shocked!

Instead of talking in her head, she had blurted out her words for Little Phoenix! Oh god! Did Jun Linyuan think she was confessing her love for him?

“It’s nothing, nothing…” Feng Wu waved her hands, denying it.

Jun Linyuan snickered. Nothing? Did she think he was deaf? This dishonest woman!

All of a sudden, the crown prince was in a great mood.

Seeing Jun Linyuan’s face light up, Feng Wu asked gingerly, “Your Royal Highness, can I ask for a favor?”

“Shoot.” Jun Linyuan darted a contemptuous look at her.

“That abnormal flame bead… can I have it?” Feng Wu smiled obsequiously.

Seeing that Jun Linyuan was looking at her, she beamed at him.

Jun Linyuan was speechless. This girl was so…

“You want this?” He took the bead out.

“Yes. Yes, please —” Feng Wu tried to grab it, but Jun Linyuan raised his hand over his head.

Feng Wu jumped and jumped, but still couldn’t reach it. She was vexed.

Holding Jun Linyuan’s arm with both hands, she yelled, “Give it to me —”

“Come and get it yourself.” Jun Linyuan gloated.

Outside, Feng stood there in silence, guarding the door.

A tiny smile showed up on his face when he heard the cheerful voices inside.

When was the last time His Royal Highness laughed like that?

It was so good to be young.

But Feng Wu didn’t feel good at all.

She couldn’t reach the abnormal flame bead and she was exasperated!

Seeing that the bead was so close but still out of reach, Little Phoenix was very anxious!

Feng Wu was a head shorter than Jun Linyuan and her limbs weren’t as long as his either. She couldn’t get to the bead no matter what. An idea then struck Feng Wu. She hopped onto Jun Linyuan and began to climb up his body.

Almost there!

Both Feng Wu and Little Phoenix were excited!

Neither of them noticed the pink color behind Jun Linyuan’s ears.

Just then —

Jun Linyuan fell backward.

“Ah!” Feng Wu cried out and gripped Jun Linyuan’s shoulders involuntarily to stop herself from falling.
