The Slender Waist

The day the city fell, Feng Yun was treated by her father as a spoil of war and presented to the enemy general. Everyone pitied her, soon to be a captive, plunging into a fiery pit. Yet she veiled the little donkey cart that took her out of the city tightly, daring not to let anyone see the secret delight in her heart… As a child, she behaved oddly and spoke startling words, once predicting a war in which the whole army was wiped out, nearly being burned to death by her clan as a demon. When she grew up, her beauty was out of the world, but she was rejected by her husband's family. In the period of chaos and disorder everywhewe, where could a female captive go? "I do not seek a devoted partner to grow old with; I merely wish to rule unrivaled in this life." In her previous life, Feng Yun was always the one being scorned by others; in this life, she decided to strike first, turning the tables on each and every one of them, those so-called unreachable flowers and beasts in gentleman's clothing, those degenerates… all to be scorned in return.

Chapter 160: Fine Flowers Are Worth Picking

On the way back to the camp, Feng Yun's steps lightened considerably.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the ancient city, making her feel as if she had grown wings and could soar freely, unbound by anything. This uplifting sentiment made her eager to reward herself.

The chicken that Tan Dajin sent her, with its golden skin and feet, looked simply delicious.

Feng Yun couldn't wait for the wedding feast; she instructed the cook to chop the chicken into small pieces, find some dried mushrooms, marinate them briefly in aged wine, toss in a couple slices of ginger and a pinch of salt, and stew it all in a pot. The aroma wafted out, and she began to salivate before it was even ready.

It smelled heavenly.

Just the scent alone seemed to explode on the tip of her tongue with rich juices...

Lacking grease in her diet, Feng Yun felt that holding a festive event might be good, considering it could satisfy her cravings for half a month.
