Chapter 196: Determined

" 。After she finished speaking, she proudly lifted her chin. Her already stunningly beautiful face became even more breathtaking because of the confident smirk playing on her lips. 。"Arrogant!" With...His face was as dark as if water could drip from it, and the hands that gripped her shoulders were visibly bulging with veins, a terrifying sight. It was clear how enraged he was at this moment.

"Can't I" Xuan Yuan Rong Fei blinked her eyes in confusion, looking as innocent as she could be.

Shangguan Jinghong was taken aback by her innocent and bewildered gaze. He gritted his teeth secretly, feeling a deep sense of hitting cotton with a punch. His anger was nowhere to vent, burning his heart fiercely.

Just when he had finally managed to suppress the anger in his heart, Xuan Yuan Rongfei started acting up again. She looked at him with her moist eyes, a serious expression on her face, "My older brother and sisters love me so much, they definitely won't object."

She's implying she wants to take them all as her male companions, and you can't stop her.

"No! This Palace will never agree!" Shangguan Jinghong's anger, which he had barely suppressed, erupted once more. His roar was laced with terrifying fury, his handsome face contorted into a frightening scowl.

One after another, she was yelled at. As the princess of a country, Xuan Yuan Rongfei had never suffered such grievances! The anger in her heart surged up, and she retorted fiercely, "Your disagreement means nothing! You're not anyone to me Get out of my way, don't stop me from having fun."

The moment those words left her lips, she felt a shift in the air around her. It was as if it had solidified, making her instinctively breathe lighter.

“Good! Excellent! You want to have fun, right This Palace will grant your wish!” Shangguan Jinghong laughed angrily, her palm swirling with internal energy. Her powerful internal energy instantly slammed the open door shut, blocking all views from outside.

Xuanyuan Rongfei was caught off guard, her neck shrinking slightly in fear. She instinctively wanted to get away from him, "What are you going to..."

Before she could finish her words, a heavy shadow descended, followed by an overwhelming and unstoppable kiss. Xuan Yuan Rong Fei's every word was swallowed back into her stomach by this kiss.

The bed curtains swayed, leaving only the full room of spring light, lingering and decadent.

She did not know how long she had slept, but the next day, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei slowly woke up in a state of aching back and waist.

"Ugh... it hurts." All over her body ached, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei clutched her head and slowly sat up from the bed. "My head is so dizzy, where is this How did I end up here"

Just as she sat up, the quilt slipped down to below her waist. A sudden chill ran through her body, and only then did Xuanyuan Rongfei realize she was completely naked.

Her face changed abruptly, and she hastily pulled the blanket that had slipped down to her waist back up, wrapping it tightly around herself.

She had drunk too much yesterday, resulting in some fragmented memories. Xuan Yuan Rong Fei clutched the blanket in one hand and rubbed her excruciatingly painful temples with the other, carefully reminiscing.

Yesterday, I think I had some wine, and then... oh right! Shangguan Jinghong, I was with him...

Thinking back to the moments when she and Shangguan had their first encounter amidst the crimson waves, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei's ears were burning red with shame. A myriad of emotions, both shy and joyful, flooded her mind.

She hastily threw back the covers, and sure enough, she saw a smear of dazzling crimson on the sheet. Not only that, her smooth and beautiful body was covered with deep and shallow red marks, it was clear how intense their battle had been last night.

"Ah!" Hushed to the extreme, Xuanyuan Rongfei couldn't help but bury her entire body under the covers, becoming a little ostrich.

She actually became his woman just like that, which was so embarrassing! How could she possibly face him after something like this happened

"Knock, knock, knock... Knock, knock, knock..." Just as she was lost in thought under the covers, a knocking sound came from outside the door.

"Who" Xuan Yuan Rong Fei poked her head out slightly, feeling a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Could it be Shangguan Jinhong

"Princess Jiu, have you woken up It's already noon. Please eat something first." Fengjie's voice came from outside the door.

Her heart's anticipation had fallen flat. Xuanyuan Rongfei said that she wasn't disappointed at all, and her words held truth. She climbed out of the bed, furrowing her brow and asking, "It's noon already Then, where is that young master in my room"

"Princess Jiu is talking about Young Master Shangguan, right He left the Heavenly Realm in a hurry this morning. We don't know where he went," Phoenix said.

On hearing this, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei's whole body trembled, her eyes widened suddenly, and she stared blankly outside the door, "He...he left"

A bone-chilling, suffocating feeling rose from her feet, enveloping her tightly, dragging her heart down to the bottom of a well, piercing her with agony!

"Yes, Ninth Princess, what's wrong" Sensing her off mood, Phoenix was genuinely worried.

"It's nothing, you can go down first. I'm not hungry yet and I want to freshen up." Xuan Yuan Rongfei lowered her head deeply, her voice suddenly raspy.

"...Alright, if anything happens, call me." Without her consent, Phoenix wouldn't dare barge into her room. She sighed and silently retreated.

Inside, it was eerily quiet. Pitter-patter, large teardrops fell incessantly from the porcelain-like face, dripping onto the sheets and spreading a dark stain.

"Woooo...Shangguan Jinghong, you bastard!" Xuen Yuan Rongfei covered her face and couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Do you hate me that much Are you afraid I'll cling to you and force you to take responsibility for me, so you just ran away Bastard!"

Unexpectedly, it turned out this way. All her previous bashful sweetness and anticipation had transformed into a comical illusion.

Since you hate me so much, I won't appear in front of you anymore! After wiping her tears forcefully, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei instantly made a very resolute decision in her heart.

"Phoenix Sister," Xuan Yuan Rong Fei, after dressing up, walked down from the upstairs with red-rimmed eyes.

Seeing her finally come down, Phoenix Sister couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and immediately greeted her, "Ninth Princess, you're finally out. Are you hungry I'll have someone prepare food right away."

Xuan Yuan Rongfei shook her head, her excessively pale face pulling out a very reluctant smile. She took out an envelope from her arms and handed it to Feng Jie, "No need, I don't have much appetite. Feng Jie, please deliver this letter to Shangguan Jinghong for me. Also, tell my master that I have been away from home for a long time and want to return to Ximing. Thank her for her care these days."

Her smile at the moment looked like a strained one, coupled with her swollen eyes. Phoenix Sister frowned, worry etched on her face, "Princess Nine, are you leaving"

Taking a deep breath, she tried to make her voice sound less heavy, "Well, I am still the princess of Ximing Country, so I have to go back. Besides, I've been out of the palace for so long, my older brother must be furious."

Seeing her resolute, Phoenix Sister knew she couldn't stop her. She reached out to take the envelope she offered and said, "Don't you want to say goodbye to your master yourself"

“No, Master is busy with something else recently. I won’t bother her. Phoenix Lady, I’m leaving.” With reddened eyes, Xuanyuan Rongfei took a few deep breaths before she managed to suppress the tears welling up in her chest. She shook her head gently and said, then gestured as if to leave.... you're going to pass the throne to Tianyu" "That's right..." 。Zhao Jin nodded again. 。As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhao Tianyu was so surprised that his jaw almost hit the floor. He rec...
