Chapter 89: The Gentle Moonlight

  Feng Tongxu actually asked me to lie quietly in bed, I couldn't fathom his thoughts, what does this mean? Is it just that he needs me to accompany him to sleep, or does he want to unknowingly treat me as a plaything?!

  "Master, you've already got the doll, so shouldn't you test its healing effects clearly? Now, you can do whatever you want, but if I go out to complete a task and the doll doesn't have any healing effect, what will you do then? It's really worrying..." I knew that strongly refuting would be useless, so I softly expressed my opinion.

  Because, although Sai Gun Cheung said that the cloth doll mixed with his own hair can help Feng Tongxu cure the disease, but this has not been tried before, so how do we know it's really effective? Of course, I'm not really concerned about him, but I hope he can come to his senses and regain his freedom as soon as possible.

  After hearing my words, Feng Tongxu also fell silent. His hands grasping the painting tightened, causing wrinkles to appear on the paper, and I couldn't help but secretly be shocked in my heart - would he ruin the painting I drew for those handsome guys...

  "Master." I called out to him again, my eyes sparkling. It seemed that using such a title had become addictive, as if the difference in our status was originally vast and there was no possibility of anything between us, nor did I wish for any.

  "I have an idea, you can sleep under my bed. If this doll doesn't work, I can also pull you up to sleep with me! If it's effective, I can..." Feng Tongxu expressed his opinion, but I couldn't help feeling a chill in my heart - he actually wanted me to sleep on the floor!

  Although the climate in Hengdian is not cold, it always gets a bit chilly at night, so if you don't cover yourself with a quilt when sleeping, your body might not be able to take it.

  Feng Tongxu noticed my unsightly complexion and asked tentatively, "What's wrong? If you think it's not suitable, you can also come up and...".

  Listening to Feng Tongxu's words. I know he's doing it on purpose. But, can I fall for his trick and satisfy his heart later? Isn't it just sleeping on the ground? Alas... It's really pathetic, I've never suffered like this before! This damn Liuheng Sect Master, why does he keep bullying me?!

  He's clearly his own boss, how can he be so inhumane, only caring about treating the illness and completely disregarding the lives of his subordinates. He's really infuriating!

  Feng Tongxu fell asleep with a satisfied expression, his outer garment thrown to one side. He then covered himself and slept. And I looked at the cold floor, not even a simple quilt had he prepared for himself. Forget it... I'll just find something myself! So, I thought of getting up to look for something.

  "Where are you going?" Feng Tongxu didn't get up, but asked me in a cold tone. Still revealing a deep sense of alienation, even though I had been physically intimate with him before. But he could still be so ruthless and unfeeling. On the one hand, he seemed to be afraid that he would escape; on the other hand, he didn't seem to want to let himself off easy.

  Honestly, I really despise Feng Tong Xu. Why did he take away the fresh air that belongs to my world? Why did he lock me in this oppressive and hopeless prison? Is it just because I look exactly like Mo Qian Er that he can trample on my life at will? Is it just because I look exactly like Mo Qian Er that he dares to think of making me his plaything? Is it just because I look exactly like Mo Qian Er that he thinks it's easy to let go, but is unwilling to do so lightly?

  "I didn't go anywhere, I just went to find a blanket, this floor is too cold, sleeping like this will catch a chill." I curled up the corner of my mouth and glared at Feng Tuo Xu who was lying on the kang, enjoying the warmth. I knew all of this was done on purpose for me to see, but how could I fall into his trap?

  "Why bother going far when you can get it nearby? If you want to cover yourself with a quilt, come up here. If you don't want to cover yourself with a quilt, then... just sleep on the spot!" Feng Tongxu gave his orders with a domineering face, truly having the demeanor of a master, even though he was lying on the couch, displaying the most lazy posture, but his kingly aura was not reduced in the slightest.

  I knew he was trying to make things difficult for me, but I couldn't figure out the reason. However, a sudden idea struck my mind, and I seemed to have thought of a new way. I knelt down on the ground and started singing: "You are my little apple, how can I love you enough..."

  I won't be able to get good sleep quality either, so he can forget about sleeping too.

  At first, Feng Tongxu ignored me too, so I decided to change the song and sing even louder: "The Great River flows eastward..."

  "Hey, what are you doing? Singing so off-key and getting louder, disturbing my peaceful sleep?" Feng Tongxu sat up with a furious face, his eyes bloodshot as if he was really angry.

  Hehe... I couldn't help but secretly laugh to myself, daring to make me sleep badly, he shouldn't think about sleeping well either! I just wanted to retort two words back at him, which were: "Serves you right!"

  "You sleep yours, I sing mine, what's it to you?" I said with a high head and a face full of excitement. Don't think that I will be bullied by him obediently, if I don't live well, he won't live comfortably either!

  "Really? Then sing it again and see!" Feng Tuo Xu's forehead bulged out with a few veins, with a hint of anger floating on his face. I could tell he was suppressing his anger, so this time, I didn't dare to be too presumptuous either. After all, messing with the lion's fur wasn't a good idea, and I started to have second thoughts.

  I let out a big yawn, looking pitiful as I asked Feng Tuo Xu: "Master, you're already carefree and without worries, why do you still want to oppose me? What if I catch a cold..."

  "If you dare to say another word, I'll strip your clothes off and throw you onto the bed!" Feng Tongxu said with a bad temper, I was really scared by his appearance, so I could only cover my mouth with both hands and use my eyes to hint at him that I wouldn't speak again.

  "Alright... I wonder where I went wrong, doing something that would infuriate the master and bring no good fortune. Sigh... I really must be tired of living..."

  Forget it, I don't want to argue with Feng Tongxu anymore, so I'll just sleep on the floor obediently!

  Ugh, as soon as I lay down, I felt something was off. The ground was really cold and lying there made my whole body feel tired too. I thought to myself, if I sleep like this for a night, it'll be unbearable. But... I've already annoyed Feng Tongyu, if I move again, he probably won't go easy on me either!

  The chill made me wrap my arms tightly around my body, but it couldn't generate much warmth. Alas... it's really too difficult, do I really have to spend the night here? However, thinking back, when I was previously locked up in the Death Angel Ghost's place, didn't I also sleep on the floor?

  It's just a matter of closing one's eyes, and it will soon pass. I can only close my eyes, trying to persuade myself not to mind too much, and if I can just sleep through it, maybe it won't be so cold.

  Suddenly, I felt a pair of strong hands lift me up into the air. As soon as I opened my eyes, I found it was Feng Tung-hsu.

  "Don't be sulky with me anymore, let's sleep together!" Feng Tongxu's gaze fell on himself, with a rare touch of gentleness. The soft moonlight poured down and gently landed on us.

  Looking at such a glow, I don't know if it's from the moon itself or emitted by him.

  After struggling for so long, I was still held by him on the couch. I really felt helpless. Wanting to say something in rebuttal, yet afraid that his gentleness would suddenly make me lose my words again.

  I also knew that someone like Feng Tongxu was not suitable for a direct confrontation. I was afraid he would do something out of line, so I pretended to fall asleep and didn't respond to what he said.

  To my surprise, he simply lay down on the couch and covered himself with a quilt.

  As a result, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary until I heard his even breathing, and only then did I dare to fall asleep.

  By the second day, I found that my clothes were still on me. This time, I really didn't know what Feng Tongxu was thinking.

  And I didn't see him again, until later when I received a message from Sai Crown saying that I could go out and do tasks. I didn't expect it, but this time I was actually able to leave, it felt so unreal.

  But in my heart, there is a very obvious sense of loss, as if something is missing.

  Why is it like this? Isn't this what I've been expecting? I never thought that I would have feelings for Feng Tuo Xu, but why do I feel a heavy heart this time?

  So I finally couldn't help but ask Sai Guangchen, who came to see me off: "Master, is he all right?"

  "The Master has set out to attend the Hundred Flowers Conference, which is held once every four years." Said Sai Guangchen lightly.

  The so-called Hundred Flowers Gathering is a martial arts tournament held every four years, where the major Eastern sects compete. The winner can obtain the rare Hundred Flowers Immortal Rod, hence the name of this gathering.

  "But the Master's body is so weak?" I started to worry about Feng Tuo Xu, after all, he had a cold toxin in his body, was it really safe for him to attend the Hundred Flowers Gathering like this?

  "Actually, I was going to help Xuan participate, but he said that this is a rare opportunity to see how much his cold poison has improved. Moreover, with the cloth doll I gave him, he doesn't have to worry too much about the cold poison relapsing." Although Sai Guangchen said so, looking at his worried face, I knew he was really concerned about Feng Tongxuan!

  "Just one night and he's certain that puppet is omnipotent?" I raised an objection, thinking he was being reckless.

  "Don't worry, he'll be fine," Sai Guangchen comforted me.

  Maybe I'm just overthinking, since Xie Guan Chen is so carefree, why should I, an outsider, worry? But what's strange is that I feel like worrying. Is it because I was tempted by his gentleness last night?
