Volume 3: Prosperous World Smoke and Flowers, Flowing Years of Love 050 Dream Butterfly Water Pavilion

  Meng Die Shui Ge, located on the north side of Zhan Wang Fu, is a world apart from the cold and quiet Ting Lan Garden.

  The flowers are like brocade, the willows are leaning, and the delicate pavilions and towers are lingering among the misty waters. The white walls and glazed tiles, the wavy water smoke, and the infinite charm and elegance that permeate everything. On the white jade wall, countless diamonds are inlaid with intricate flower patterns, wide hollow vermilion windows, carved window frames, golden thread-connected pearl curtains, everything is resplendent!

  At this moment, Feng Yao Xuan was sitting upright in the pavilion of the water house, gently plucking the pipa. With a charming and alluring gaze, she looked at the handsome man in front of her who was as cold as ice, a flirtatious smile rippling across her face, as if she wanted to lure his soul away before she would be satisfied.

  However, her pipa tune couldn't catch the attention of Yun Qianye opposite her. After staying up for several nights without rest, he didn't have the energy to listen to any music. With his arm propping up his head, leaning on the soft couch, a noble purple long robe casually draped over him, his chest slightly open, full of temptation.

  "Qian Ye, why do you look so listless?"

  Feng Yao Xuan smiled gently, with a hint of tender and touching vulnerability in her eyes. She swayed her slender waist like a snake, walking towards Yun Qian Ye. Her gaze was fixed on his seductive red lips, with a hint of fervent heat in her eyes. It's truly rare for a man to grow into such a handsome appearance!

  Plus the overbearing aura on his body, it made her infatuated and enchanted, hating that she couldn't immediately undress and serve him with her body.

  "Your Highness, the princess has returned to the mansion!"

  As soon as Mo Jian walked into the Water Pavilion, he saw Feng Yaohuang about to fall into Yun Qianye's arms. A cold voice slowly echoed out. The woman in front of him, who was so promiscuous, couldn't compare to their princess at all. Relying on her good looks to flirt here, it really made him uncomfortable to watch.

  I didn't think this woman was so bad before, but now compared to the elegant and refined princess, she is simply a phoenix and a wild chicken!

  "Huh? This time that woman actually didn't contradict me?"

  The originally drowsy Yun Qianye suddenly became several points more spirited, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes. Thinking of that infuriating woman, he felt a sense of meeting a worthy opponent in chess. It had been a long time since anyone could make him take them so seriously!

  Apart from Fengdi and Guoshi, probably only this woman dares to be so arrogant as to challenge me!

  "Would you like to go see the princess?"

  Mo Jian asked faintly, his heart worried about their relationship which was almost like a cold war.

  The princess is quite a catch, the prince must make an effort! Not to mention the ethereal and refined National Master, just the gentle and elegant Heavenly Doctor alone is already a formidable opponent! According to his investigation, the Heavenly Doctor has a childhood sweetheart relationship with the princess, so he really can't be underestimated.

  "Qian Ye, didn't we agree that you would spend the day with me today? Will you or not?"

  Feng Yao said with a pitiful expression on her face.

  "What I, the king, have promised, will naturally not be spoken in vain."

  Yun Qianye looked at her delicate appearance and slowly opened his mouth to speak, his tone softened a few degrees. He was indifferent to everyone, but he treated her differently, which made countless women in the imperial capital jealous. Even the servants in the War King's mansion secretly treated her as their mistress.

  The king has never had such a good attitude towards other women, even the queen consort did not receive such treatment.

  "Your Highness, the princess has just returned, you——"

  Mo Jian looked at Yun Qianye, not understanding why the king would be so fond of Feng Yuhe. The queen had just returned from her parents' home, but the king didn't even ask about her and instead stayed with another woman. This was really unfair to the queen.

  "Mojian, retreat!"

  Yun Qianye waved his hand, and a hint of displeasure flashed across the bottom of his eyes. How much time had passed, yet Mo Jian's heart was already leaning towards that woman? Did that woman have some kind of magical power? He had lost so many Blood Clothes Hidden Guards for nothing, and he hadn't even settled accounts with that dead woman yet!

  "Yes, Your Highness!"

  Mo Jian's cold and unfeeling face once again returned to its usual expressionless state.

  "Thousand nights, spring warmth and flowers blooming. I heard that Liyue Lake's scenery is quite delightful. Shall we go boating?"

  On Feng Yao's pale and delicate goose egg face, her eyebrows were filled with a hint of smoke, and her bright phoenix eyes stared straight at Yun Qianye. Her gentle voice trembled as she asked.

  "Let's go!"

  Yun Qianye's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn't refuse her request.

  "Senya is still the best!"

  Feng Yao said with a shy and timid tone, her face full of bright smiles. Under the cover of her eyelashes, a hint of cold triumph flashed in her eyes. After today, Qian Ye will be mine alone! Ruan Qindeng, you can just wait for your own demise!

  "Why so delighted? Isn't it just a trip around the lake?"

  A warm smile floated onto Yun Qianye's overbearing face. However, his gaze was distant as if he was looking at another person, making it impossible to grasp.

  "Being able to be with Qian Ye, Huan Er was of course delighted!"

  Feng Yao said with a smile, her lips were redder than rouge, and she was more beautiful than flowers.

  Yun Qianye didn't know that at this moment, the Tinglan Garden had already become a sea of snakes. And the one who started it all was none other than the woman in front of him, smiling with a face full of charm. If you just looked at her appearance, you absolutely couldn't tell how venomous her heart was! This was truly a snake-like beauty!

  In the courtyard of Tinglan, Ruan Qin's hands danced with crystal silk, protecting Tingxue and Tingyu in the center. A hint of intense killing intent flashed across her eyes, and with a flick of her wrist, she wrapped the snake egg from the box in her hand. This snake egg was extremely unusual, its temperature was strangely high, how could it be so hot when it was supposed to be cold-blooded? The golden patterns on the eggshell were like intricate carvings, further indicating the extraordinary nature of this snake egg.

  She was slightly surprised, then regained her composure. If this snake egg were ordinary, it wouldn't have attracted so many red vipers either. Nor did she know how this little thing could have such great power!

  But now is not the time to study the reasons, solving the current crisis is urgent.

  At the moment when the snake egg fell into Ruan Qindeng's hands, a group of red-practiced poisonous snakes stood up one after another, ready to launch an attack at any time. However, they did not dare to make a move, as if they knew that once they moved, the snake egg would be destroyed.

  The atmosphere suddenly became heavy and oppressive, like a tightly stretched string, quiet to the extreme, also suppressed to the extreme.

  "Crack——"

  Suddenly, a crisp and clear cracking sound rang out, making everyone's heart tighten.

  The next moment, under Ruan Qindeng's stunned gaze, the eggshell in his hand cracked open. A soft and small white snake poked its head out and crawled out.

  This little white snake is extremely beautiful, its body crystal clear and translucent, with golden vines and flowers appearing and disappearing suddenly.

  A pair of pure red crystal-like eyes, innocently gazing at her. Dazed and confused, it remained still in the palm of her hand, but after a moment, as if it had cleared up its current situation, it stretched out its small tongue and excitedly licked her fingertips, its movements full of intimate dependence.

  Ruan Qincheng felt a thunderbolt falling from the sky, as if she was the first person this little guy saw when he was born! Cough cough cough, wouldn't this little white snake think of her as his mother?!

  "Hiss——"

  Before she could finish speaking, a dense swarm of red-eyed venomous snakes appeared, instantly changing their aggressive stance to prostrate themselves on the ground, paying homage in the direction of the small white snake.

  "Squeak——"

  Feeling the aura on the small white snake's body, the lotus spirit, who was sleeping soundly, slowly woke up. When it saw the red practice venomous snakes around it, it suddenly became enraged and swung its claws.

  Listening to the snow and listening to the rain, they couldn't help but burst out laughing. But before they could laugh for a few seconds, their smiles froze on their faces.

  "Whoosh——"

  The originally fierce and menacing red viper suddenly retreated like a tide, disappearing from their line of sight in just a few breaths. However, what they didn't see was that these vipers were quietly rushing towards Feng Yuexiang's Dream Butterfly Pavilion, and the beautiful lake water around it provided them with an excellent hiding place.
