CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 336: HIS COMPROMISE WITH FENG XUN

Long hair stuck to her cheeks, Ye Lingyue annoyed, shook her hair.

Her hair was already dry, just a bit messy, and she was about to grab it and comb it roughly.

But Wu Zhong slapped her hand away, hesitated, then pulled her hair. His movements were gentle, and did not hurt her.

Doubtfully glancing at Wu Zhong a few times, Ye Lingyue wondered, had this man changed his nature today?

Obviously, Wu Zhong wasn’t as skilled as Feng Xun. After fumbling for a while, he gave up and braided her hair into two sloppy plaits. They weren’t very pretty, even a bit ugly.

Ye Lingyue glanced at them, pouted, and suppressed the urge to take down those unsightly braids. She knew if she dared to take them down, Wu Zhong might just dismantle her entire frame.

A grilled fish appeared in front of her, its fragrance making Ye Lingyue forget about the ugly braids as she unwittingly swallowed her saliva.

Truly, she was hungry and ignoring Wu Zhong’s teasing gaze, took the fragrant grilled fish and bit into it fiercely.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her teeth touched the fish, her tongue got burned.

In panic, she stuck out her tongue, tears welling up in her eyes. These small movements, seen by Wu Zhong, struck his heart as if hit heavily, giving him an indescribable electrifying sensation.

As expected, Wu Zhong’s sharp tongue began again.

"Weak and stupid."

How could he have fallen for such a woman?

Wu Zhong curled his lips, snatched the grilled fish from her hand, carefully removing the skin and bones, and insisted on feeding her.

Ye Lingyue turned her head away in a huff.

He stared at her.

Helpless, she grimly ate the fish that made it to her mouth.

The fish was unexpectedly delicious, lighting up Ye Lingyue’s eyes instantly.

Before taking the Nirvana Heart Lotus, to maximize medicinal effect, she had starved for a day and with last night’s drastic exertion, her stomach was uncomfortably empty.

This small fish, only found near Ice Mountain lake’s mouth, was delicious, and its flesh was incomparable to fish from any other place.

And Wu Zhong’s cooking skills were quite impressive.

Initially displeased with Wu Zhong’s overbearing ways, Ye Lingyue unknowingly ate several fish he fed her.

After eating, Ye Lingyue felt some strength returning.

Seeing her full, Wu Zhong leisurely began to eat. Wearing a mask, his small eating movements seemed somewhat graceful to Ye Lingyue.

Graceful? Ye Lingyue was shocked by her own absurd thought.

To describe Wu Zhong with the word "graceful" was simply an insult to the word.

Suddenly, Ye Lingyue remembered last night, in her panic, she had knocked off his mask.

Unfortunately, at that time, her back was facing Wu Zhong.

Ghost Emperor Wu Chong, what lay underneath that golden mask...

Her heart skipped a beat, and Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but stealthily glance at Wu Zhong’s profile.

The golden mask outlined a face with sharp features, and his eyes were deep, the color of glazed glass.

Such eye colors were rare on the mainland.

He had clumsily helped her braid her hair, while his own hair, wet, was carelessly spread aside.

"You can put me down now." Ye Lingyue mentioned awkwardly after seeing Wu Zhong had also finished eating, making her quite embarrassed.

"I like it, just sit obediently," Wu Zhong huffed coldly, pulling her closer.

"Thanks for last night," she quickly murmured thanks, then buried her head down, much like an ostrich.

Wu Zhong’s eyelids drooped, only seeing the beautifully curved neck of Ye Lingyue.

He spoke harshly.

"Thank me for preserving your innocence? With your indifferent physique, even looking at it makes me nauseous."

Wu Zhong continued speaking insincerely.

"This is the last time, don’t try to provoke me again. Next time, I hope not to hear someone else’s name from your mouth, nor will I let you off because of anyone," Wu Zhong’s voice held some helplessness, he held Ye Lingyue tight, breathing in her faint scent.

That moment, Wu Zhong withdrew.

He was unwilling to see her wake up heartbroken.

"If you touch her, Wu Zhong, I’d rather perish together with you."

At that moment, even with a miserable smile, Feng Xun frantically tried to regain control of his body.

After all these years, this was the first time Feng Xun confronted him head-on.

Wu Zhong understood that neither he nor Feng Xun could do without each other.

Between them, too many secrets were shared.

Thus, that moment, he gave up.

Having said that, Wu Zhong fell silent, just holding her, waiting until the medicinal power inside her completely dissipated.

Three days later, still on the peaks of the ice and snow.

Next to the Ice Lake, Ye Lingyue touched her face feeling quite gloomy.

"Didn’t you say my injuries are all healed? Why am I still wrapped around the face?"

The Nirvana Heart Lotus, truly an Eighth-grade Spirit Grass, with the "help" of the Ice Lake and Wu Zhong, her skin was completely renewed, even better than before her burns.

Only her face, since she woke up, Wu Zhong had wrapped tightly, turning her into a literal rice dumpling, leaving only her eyes, nose, and mouth exposed.
