Chapter 439 - 441: Dugu Wu, You're So Flirtatious!
Once Dugu Wu discovered the yang energy in her dantian, he would definitely realize that it was his own yang energy.
Realizing this, Feng Bailing's whole body bristled.
Without any hesitation, she used her seventh sense to resist Dugu Wu and Dugu Wu's Gang Qi.
Dugu Wu was indeed testing Feng Bailing, as the dean had said earlier that Feng Bailing, like Nalan Yan'er, also had a strand of yang energy in her body.
The speaker was unintentional, but upon hearing it, Dugu Wu took it to heart.
A woman having yang energy in her body could only mean that it was left by her man.
Did Xiaojin's existence make Dugu Wu suspect that the woman with him that night was not Nalan Yan'er?
How wonderful would it be if that woman were not Nalan Yan'er but Feng Bailing instead?
Once this thought took root, it quickly entrenched itself in Dugu Wu's heart.
Just as his Gang Qi was about to probe Feng Bailing's dantian, his heartbeat nearly stopped.
But at that moment, his Gang Qi ceased probing.
His Gang Qi hit a wall, unable to advance any further.
What?
Dugu Wu's heterochromia eyes slightly narrowed; there was no Gang Qi within Feng Bailing's body.
What was it that blocked his Gang Qi?
Holding Feng Bailing's hand, Dugu Wu couldn't help but tighten his grip.
After her seventh sense blocked Dugu Wu's Gang Qi, Feng Bailing breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be surprised.
"Prince, you're holding my hand so tightly, you're not trying to take advantage of me, are you?"
Saying this, she tried to break free from Dugu Wu's hand.
She would rather die than let Dugu Wu discover the yang energy within her body; otherwise, with Dugu Wu's intelligence, he would quickly realize that Feng Xiaoli was his daughter.
Seeing Dugu Wu's grip on her as unyielding as shackles, Feng Bailing's fingers moved as quick as lightning, skillfully hitting a pressure point on Dugu Wu's palm.
A numbness in the palm and Dugu Wu abruptly released her hand.
Feng Bailing breathed a sigh of relief, but just when she thought she was safe, Dugu Wu stretched out his arm, wrapped it around Feng Bailing's waist, and she fell into his embrace.
"That's taking advantage."
Dugu Wu's cold lips covered Feng Bailing's.
When their lips touched, something in her mind seemed to explode.
Feng Bailing felt as though her brain had short-circuited, and for a moment her seventh sense couldn't coalesce.
Dugu Wu's tongue and his Gang Qi charged in.
Feng Bailing stiffened all over, and in the critical moment, the Wooden Holy Seal within her that had been inactive for a long time suddenly came to life as if injected with vigor.
An abundance of Wood Spirit spread like vines around Feng Bailing's dantian, encasing it tightly like a cage.
Nothing.
Dugu Wu had searched all over Feng Bailing's body but did not find any yang energy, let alone his own.
Dugu Wu felt a hollow disappointment; he really had been overthinking it.
At this moment, the woman in his arms fiercely bit his tongue.
Only then did Dugu Wu let go of Feng Bailing, the two entangled like trapped beasts, finally parting after much struggle, both gasping for air.
Feng Bailing's beautiful eyes were moist, her lips tender and enticing like rain-washed cherries, truly tempting to the eye.
"Didn't you just ask me if the milk tea was sweet?"
Dugu Wu gently licked his lips, his heterochromia eyes glowing with a wicked light, his tone three parts lazy, seven parts rascally.
"You are sweeter."
Feng Bailing's cheeks flushed, her heart nearly leaping out.
Dugu Wu, so slick!
"Dugu Wu, you are faithless. Didn't we have an agreement before marriage that we wouldn't lay hands on each other?"
If my memory serves me right, he was the first to say it.
Feng Bailing felt both angry and annoyed; this guy was becoming more and more unruly.
"What were you just doing?"
Dugu Wu's voice rose a few notches.
"Massaging you."
"Did you hold me while sleeping last night?"
"So, it's natural for you to lay hands and feet on me, while I do 'something' with my mouth."
Feng Bailing almost crushed her silver teeth in frustration.
The emperor's aura emanating from Dugu Wu was simply too tempting, and Feng Bailing found herself unable to control her limbs while sleeping.
It's all Lu Yin's fault, what a beauty trap! Absolutely useless!
Dugu Wu's strategy of using his good looks was many times more effective than hers.
Feng Bailing knew that trying to outwit Dugu Wu would get her nowhere, so she decided to be upfront about it.
"This matter involves not only Luochen but also Hong Xuan and Dongfang Yong. Although the White Wolf has an unclear origin and really strong power, I think letting it join us would be beneficial."
Feng Bailing expected Dugu Wu to refuse outright, but to her surprise, he raised an eyebrow.
"I have someone who needs to join too, Princess Anyang."
"Deal."
Feng Bailing was surprised at how smoothly the negotiation went, or perhaps Dugu Wu had just become more amenable.
"Additionally, starting from tomorrow, you don't have to study anymore. The dean has agreed to teach you some life-saving techniques,"
Dugu Wu said coldly.
He had been teaching Feng Bailing literature-related knowledge for half a month now, and she hadn't disappointed him.
In fact, some of her knowledge had impressed Dugu Wu, and with other countries' participants arriving, he and the Crown Prince had to start preparing for the Competition Among Ten Countries and would no longer have time to tutor Feng Bailing.
The addition of Princess Anyang and the Dongfang brothers made Dugu Wu realize that this Competition Among Ten Countries had become even more complicated.
There was also the mysterious Beast Control Master that Hong Xuan and others had encountered within the borders of Great Chu, which could not be ignored.
Feng Bailing didn't have the Wenhua Seal or the Wuji Seal, and although she was protected by a master in the shadows, Dugu Wu still had to be cautious.
"Then I'll go to bring Xiaojin back."
Upon hearing this, Feng Bailing was delighted.
She hadn't seen Xiaojin for half a month and wondered how her studies were going at the Imperial Academy.
With only a few days left until the Competition Among Ten Countries, even if the Crown Prince Mansion was planning something, it was already too late.
Just as Feng Bailing was preparing to go to the Imperial Academy, Ouyang Chenchen came knocking.
"Bailing, something's happened."
As soon as Ouyang Chenchen entered, she hastily dragged Feng Bailing toward the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.
At the time when Prince Mu visited Prince Shun's Mansion, a group of people entered Chu City.
This Competition Among Ten Countries involved ten countries, so for fairness, the event would not take place within any participating country's territory.
But this group of people was clearly not from Da Chu.
The leader of the group, his face seething with anger, stopped a passerby as soon as he entered Chu City, and asked fiercely.
"Where is the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce?"
The passerby was terrified by the man's fierce aura and shakily pointed in the direction of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.
"Qi Shu, don't be impulsive, let's find out the facts first."
Behind him, a middle-aged elder gestured to Qi Shu to keep his cool.
"How can I not be impulsive? The people from the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce killed all my Leopard Servants, if I, Qi Shu, don't avenge this, I swear I'm not human!"
