CHAPTER 740: CHAPTER 607: SEDUCTION PLAN VS. HANDMADE GIFT

After confirming their cooperative relationship, Die Mei and Ye Lingyue agreed that she would swiftly integrate the Earth Evil Soldiers of the thirty-sixth layer of the Earth Evil Hall.

With the Earth Evil Soldiers from five other layers of the Earth Evil Prison under Ye Lingyue’s control, the two agreed to launch a full assault on the remaining layers of the Earth Evil Hall in a few days, determined to conquer the remaining eighteen layers in the shortest time possible.

With Die Mei as a capable assistant, Ye Lingyue was full of confidence in tackling the Second Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation.

However, before that, she had another troublesome matter on her mind.

Due to Feng Xun’s physique, he couldn’t stay long in the Earth Evil Prison, so Ye Lingyue quickly sent him back to the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Feng Xun, you must be tired as well, you should rest early. I won’t disturb you anymore." After sending Feng Xun back, Ye Lingyue wished she could grow an extra leg to run away immediately.

"Hold on." Feng Xun was even quicker, closing the door with a swift motion, wrapping his arms around her, trapping Ye Lingyue in his embrace, "Ling Yue, it seems you still owe me an explanation."

Ye Lingyue felt guilty.

"Feng Xun, explain what? Are you talking about the Earth Evil Prison or the Heaven and Earth Array? I already told you when I came back that it is an Ancient Array I obtained in the Taiyi Secret Realm."

Feng Xun was a master of Arrays, and he clearly understood the mysteries of the Chaos Heaven and Earth Array, even without Ye Lingyue’s explanation.

"What I want you to explain is about Die Mei. You knew her identity all along, yet you still brought her back to the City Lord’s Mansion. You knew she had a fondness for handsome men, did you deliberately let her find me? And you know she would forcefully take what she wants, to abduct me? You knew all this, yet you damn well let her do it!" Feng Xun’s tone was quite displeased.

He didn’t care that Ye Lingyue was using him, what bothered him was that Ye Lingyue actually intentionally made light of pushing him towards other women.

If he truly were just Feng Xun, he probably would have been devoured alive by Die Mei by now.

The thought made Feng Xun somewhat uncomfortable.

"Feng Xun, it’s not like that. I had calculated every step; when she entered your room, I had already taken the Invisibility Elixir and followed right behind her," Ye Lingyue rarely saw Feng Xun angry.

Looking at him now, he truly seemed to be enraged.

"So, you used me as bait. Are you that confident she would fall for the handsome man strategy?" Ye Lingyue’s words made Feng Xun slightly more satisfied, yet there was still a knot in his heart.

Feng Xun raised his phoenix eyes slightly, showing his discontent.

If he were not mentally resilient, he would almost succumb to Die Mei’s enchantment.

Undeniably, Die Mei was an extremely charming woman, and had he not met Ye Lingyue, he probably would have found himself succumbing to her gentle seduction.

"Of course, didn’t you realize who our Feng Xun is? A beauty that one could feast their eyes upon, the unparalleled number one handsome man." Seeing Feng Xun’s expression soften, Ye Lingyue quickly flattered him excessively.

While saying so, she didn’t forget to act frivolously, her slender fingers hooking Feng Xun’s chin.

"Then have you fallen for my strategy with the handsome man?" Feng Xun, provoked by Ye Lingyue’s move, his gaze deepening, leaned in close to her ear and muttered, his lips landing on her earlobe.

Ye Lingyue felt her heart jump, as if it might leap out of her chest.

She wanted to say, if she hadn’t fallen for him, why would she have agreed to marry him.

She pushed Feng Xun away in a flurry, but he stretched out his strong arm, gripping her tightly in his embrace, his robust masculine scent overwhelming her.

Gentle Feng Xun suddenly turned into a big bad wolf, gently nibbling her earlobe, cheek, lips, and neck, unwilling to miss a single spot.

"Feng Xun, let me go." Ye Lingyue felt like his kisses were melting her into a puddle, and she could only plead continuously.

Her plea, unheeded, only made their earlier intimacy more amorous, her voice becoming even more seductive than usual.

Feng Xun’s ears perked up, only to find the situation more tantalizing.

How could he rest now? His iron arm tightened, and his actions became even more unrestrained.

In just a short while, Ye Lingyue found her neck sporting a few new reddish-purple marks.

"Let’s see if you dare to push me towards other women next time," Feng Xun feigned anger.

"I’m apologizing, isn’t that enough? Loosen up a bit. I’m very sincere; I’ve even prepared all five apology gifts." Seeing that Ye Lingyue was gasping for breath from his kisses, Feng Xun felt pity for her and slightly loosened his grip, but he didn’t let her go completely. Instead, he just changed positions to hold her in his arms.

Ye Lingyue’s face flushed as she brought out a small purple gold Qiankun Bag.

Feng Xun recognized the Qiankun Bag.

The Feng Residence was the wealthiest under heaven, and while Qiankun Bags, rarely seen outside, were easily found in the Feng Residence’s storeroom, Feng Xun was low-key and seldom used them in his daily life.

He also knew that Ye Lingyue had spent some time recently refining Qiankun Bags and had generously given one to Lan Cai’er, Yan Jiu, and others.

Thinking that everyone had one, Feng Xun felt a little displeased; this Qiankun Bag looked just like any ordinary storage bag.

"Open it and see," Ye Lingyue, capturing the slight disappointment in Feng Xun’s eyes, coaxed.

Feng Xun slowly opened the Qiankun Bag.

Upon seeing the interior contents, Feng Xun was taken aback.

Inside was a familiar-looking pair of boots; if he remembered correctly, these boots should be made based on Wang Xiaodie’s pair he had seen before.

He only said "should be" because the boots resembled the original by only about forty to fifty percent. The boots Ye Lingyue made weren’t very attractive; the beast skin material was unevenly cut, and the stitching was inconsistent. Compared to Wang Xiaodie’s pair, it was like comparing heaven and earth.

Feng Xun held the boots, his lips pursed tightly.

"This is my first time making something like this. How come making boots is even harder than Artifact Refining or Alchemy? I even asked my sister for help, but she was even worse than me," Ye Lingyue said, her little face full of distress. However, her smile soon brightened splendidly. "Although it’s ugly, it’s very warm. And let me tell you a secret, yours isn’t the ugliest; the pair I made for Yan Jiu is even more of a disaster to behold."

Feng Xun remained silent.

"Hey, Feng Xun, are you still not satisfied? If I had known you wouldn’t like it, I wouldn’t have made them; my ten fingers were all pricked and hurt because of it," Ye Lingyue said, thinking Feng Xun didn’t like them and feeling a slight pang in her heart.

Right after she finished speaking, Feng Xun hastily cradled her hands.

Indeed, there were numerous tiny puncture marks on Ye Lingyue’s hands, which made Feng Xun’s heart tighten.

He lifted her hands and deeply kissed them.

"I love it, Ling Yue. Anything you make, I love all of it. But from now on, you’re not allowed to make boots for me anymore."

Feng Xun carefully tucked away the boots, treasuring them so much that he never wore them.

Years later, when a certain young bear complained about his mother, criticizing her poor cooking and tailoring skills, and that other children would have beautiful new clothes and shoes during New Year’s or other festivals,

The mother would state with righteous indignation.

"Blame your father for it. He was the one who prohibited me from entering the kitchen or making clothes or shoes."

Behind her, the father would walk over, embrace his lovely wife, and sweetly say,

"That’s right, all your mother’s flaws, it’s all because I spoiled her."

Having said that, the father would then warmly take his wife in his arms, leaving a speechless and dumbfounded young bear behind.
