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 204: Pungent Jealousy

Feng Yun was in agony, a tormenting agony, quietly waiting alone, with no one to speak to, no tasks to distract her, desperately suppressing the thirst generated by the toxins.

The process was excruciating and protracted.

That itching, persistent and pervasive, was nearly driving her mad.

She regretted.

Had she known the medicine would be so toxic, leaving so many hidden dangers, she would certainly not have taken it, or would have reduced the dosage…

She feared this feeling of being out of control…

Frightened that if the poison took root and could not be eradicated, she would become this dissolute...

"Why not leave with Xiao Cheng?"

Pei Jue's voice came from behind her. Feng Yun's ears tingled, and her body tensed uncontrollably.

Merely hearing his voice, catching his scent, made her feel as if her body, submerged in hot water, was overflowing.

She turned around.

Her gaze crashed into those dark, deep pupils, and she was frozen.
