Chapter 40 - She Needs to Fight Back

What met Murong Yun’s eyes was such a nice view.

Luo Qianqian’s head was resting on her delicate arms, her thick hair was hanging about to the other side, the posture set her figure off to advantage.

Her bosom was partly hidden and partly visible in the water, and her face was covered with a thin layer of steam, she looked so ethereal. She had no idea she had got company at the moment.

Murong Yun turned his back abruptly, he was panting and blushing, even his ears were flushed crimson.

One might find it hard to believe the General Invincible on the battlefield would have this side.

“Qianqian.” crooned Murong Yun.

Yes, he crooned.

He was so glad that he turned his hack against Luo Qianqian, because there was a certain erected part that he’s like to hide from Luo Qianqian.

“Yes?” replied Luo Qianqian subconsciously, she didn’t know her velvety reply only made the erected part more erected.

Murong Yun clenched his fists under his sleeves, he was trying so hard to suppress himself.

The reason why there was hearsay about Murong Yun being impotent was because he always turn women down, even when the women climbing on to his bed.

Murong Yun had to admit he failed to control himself in the presence of Luo Qianqian.

It took Luo Qianqian a little while to realize there was a man who was calling her.

A man.

Wait, wasn’t she in a hot spring? Naked?

Thinking of this, she opened her eyes abruptly, what came to her sight was a vague view of Murong Yun’s back.

It was quite misty due to the steam of the hot spring, Luo Qianqian was sure it was Murong Yun because she smelt the familiar herb aroma.

The mist didn’t bother Murong Yun though, his eyesight was superior.

Ahem.

Murong Yun faked a cough to hide his true feelings, “Time to eat.” with that he strode away.

‘He is standing with his back to me, I’m sure he hasn’t seen anything, yeah?’

With that in mind, Luo Qianqian slowly lowered her hands on her bosom.

She said thanks in a low voice and slowly came to her sense.

‘Why is he fleeing like he is being chased by a monster?’

‘Has he seen anything before I woke up?’

Luo Qianqian hastily picked herself up from the pond and put on layers of clothes, under garment, under skirt, outer gown… … to make it worse, none of the pieces had zipper or button!

Luo Qianqian put on four layers in a haste and went back to Murong Yun’s mansion.

The maids were just serving dishes when Luo Qianqian came back to Murong Yun’s room, and Murong Yun was putting a cold towel on his face.

He couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw the way Luo Qianqian put on her outfits. It was so sloppy like a little child first learned to put on her own clothes.

Luo Qianqian bit her lips when she noticed Murong Yun’s chuckle, “I don’t know how to put on these clothes, so many knots.”

Ancient clothes were indeed very complicated for a modern girl like Luo Qianqian, plus Xiao Yue had been helping her out since she was reincarnated in this dynasty.

“Come over.” said Murong Yun gently.

Luo Qianqian listened to him sat next to Murong Yun.

This man was helping her to tie the knots to the right places on her garment, they were standing so close to each other now that they could feel each other’s breath.

‘Damn, this man is killing me softly.’

Murong Yun signaled her to take a seat by the dining table after he was done with her clothes.

What Luo Qianqian didn’t know was Murong Yun had considering spoon feeding her, but he gave up on the plan because he was too shy to look at her in the eye after he had seen her in the hot spring.

Murong Yun and Feng Qing escorted her back to her home after dinner.

“From now on, Feng Qing will be protecting you secretly.” said Murong Yun, he sounded like he was giving orders.

Luo Qianqian appreciated this a lot, she accepted it with pleasure, she didn’t want any accident happen to herself either.

She would very much like to see who was going to be the next that was going to hurt her.

Luo Qianqian arranged a room for Feng Qing after she went back to Luo Pavilion, she went to check on Xiao Yue after that. Seeing Xiao Yue was sound asleep, she tucked Xiao Yue in and went to her own room.

She heard some abnormal noises the second she set foot in her own room.

She halted at the door, was there another uninvited guest?

She listened for a little while and she made sure that the noises was from her bed, and that was not human noise.

She slowly walked to her bed and pulled back the blanket on the bed to see what was hiding under the blanket.

“Fuxx!” screamed Luo Qianqian, she was so infuriated that the blue veins on his forehead protruded out.

Several cobras were hissing on her bed, that was the noises she just heard.

They twined together and hissed, it looked like Luo Qianqian had interrupted them by pulling back the blanket, they looked at Luo Qianqian in unison and looked like they were ready to attack.

Luo Qianqian panicked.

“Be careful Your Highness!” Feng Qing heard the scream in his room and came to check on her.

Seeing the scary scene, even Feng Qing had chills go down his backbone. But he didn’t panic, he drew his sword promptly and swooped down on the cobras.

Luo Qianqian felt nauseous seeing the dead cobras lying on the floor, she collected herself and said, “The lengths they would go to!”

She knew it was the First Lady who hired the men for the ambush.

But who put the cobras in her room?

She squinted her eyes and a hairpin on the floor caught her attention, it looked so familiar, it was Luo Keer’s maid Xiao Cui’s hairpin!

Great! The First Lady and her kids Luo Yuyan, Luo Jingxuan hired assassins and killers to kill her, Second Concubine and her daughter Luo Keer put cobras in her room, everyone in this house wanted to kill her!

She needed to fight back before those people had their own way.

Feng Qing’s heart was fluttering with fear, he couldn’t even imagine if he had been one second late.

Luo Qianqian would not survive these cobras if not for Feng Qing’s timely arrival.
