The Maiden Wishes Her Lover Is Safe and Sound Through the Long Years

The beauty in the room and I made eye-contact. She had to cover her small mouth.

She was an amazingly beautiful girl, but not tall. However, she possessed mesmerising and unforgettable proportions.

She had a most slender physique, an elegant neck and captivating shoulders. While she wasn’t thin as a piece of thin cloth, it’d be a universal consensus that she’s a little too skinny. Her slim waist and similarly slender legs that had no excess fat were able to imprint a deep impression upon first sight.

However, in spite of her slender physique, her rack was ample. It was as if all of her bodyweight was found on those blessings. The young beauty was dressed in a light yellow suit of clothing to be worn in the palace that looked formal, yet pretty. Though it was meant to be a perfect fit on her, owing to her over-developed breasts, it appeared as though her rack was overstretching her clothing, which displayed the suppleness of her blessings.

Her mannerisms were also graceful, thereby making even the action of covering her mouth due to surprise attractive and lovely.

Having seen the appearance of her family members many times, I knew that most of their family members had large back eyes. The difference between hers and her younger sister’s was that despite having large eyes, her young sister had an imposing gaze that only looked beautiful when she grumbled in a flirtatious manner, while she has large eyes and rosy cheeks, thereby always emitting a graceful and gentle aura.

While her younger sister used a plum blossom style of makeup, she used a thin layer of rogue and light makeup, which made her skin resemble hibiscus rising from clear water. In other words, her skin was clear and without a blemish.

I haven’t seen her in months. It took every brain cell I had to escape her last time. I never imagined I’d bump into her here all of a sudden.

She’s not a skilled fighter, and she’s physically weak. Realising that somebody had come, she immediately took two steps back. Her rosy cheeks turned pale, which showed her sick condition.

Seeing her stupefied me a little, so I subconsciously asked her, “Sh-Shouldn’t you have gone to the offer sacrifices to the gods with Empress Dowager?”

The beauty replied without thinking for some reason, “She decided to stay on Holy Purple Mountain for a while longer after making the offerings. She will be staying there to talk to the priest for some days. I heard Sister Hong was back, so I came back first to see her…”

The moment she finished speaking, the both of us froze in place.

The reason I froze was because I was regretting it!!

I shouldn’t know that she went with Empress Dowager to the mountain! Only those immediately around her would know that she went with Empress Dowager to Holy Purple Mountain! It’s supposed to be a secret! I only know, because I received a letter about it! Others should be under the assumption that she’s living at the palace in Hangzhou.

‘That’s not the point here, though!’

‘I understand you coming to the capital to visit your sister, but why did you come to Jin Wangsun’s place?!’

Fortunately, I didn’t shout everything out; otherwise, given how familiar we are with each other, she’d recognise who I am if she heard my voice again.

Despite that, however, the beauty seemed to pick up some clues from my appearance. She stepped forward. The terror in her eyes had diminished a little. She softly said, “Y-You’re…”

“Sorry for the intrusion.”

I quickly shut the window then turned and left.

‘I can’t stay here!’

When I turned in a rush to leave, I suddenly felt somebody’s gaze of surprise on me. Jin Wangsun, who was lying on the ground and gasping for life, looked at me with great surprise.

A Hu is too rigid. All I did was increase the power of my attacks, and that was enough to knock him up onto a tree, whereas Jin Wangsun lay on the ground with dignity and remained about thirty-percent conscious. He glanced at me with surprise then revealed a suspicious gaze before it finally turned to terror.

I adjusted his expression, only to discover he was thinking of something disgusting!

‘Because I’m the flower picker, yet showed no interest for the beauty inside, you thought that I came for men, didn’t you?!! Fuck you! What makes you think that I’d go for you two freaks?! You think I’d go to the trouble of spending an entire afternoon to give you two an ass whooping?!! I don’t even give Su Xiao a chance when he’s begging for me!! Wait, what the heck did I just say?! Don’t make me repeat so many times that I don’t like men
