The cold tea that was bitter still was sipped with great joy. Patting their chest for not attracting the wrath of the demon. Yusheng was totally unaware of these incidences as she was truly enjoying the festival.

It was a first for her to see such a exciting tournament, the loud cheering of crowd and determination of participants. She had placed her bet on boat led by the yan's. Beside the yans many noble houses also had participated in the race.

Pei Jin was happy that Yusheng was enjoying the festival. He would serve fruits and snacks now and then loving that adoring look of squirrel she had when she munched with puffed cheeks.

He always felt worried about her thin figure which seemed not to thicken no matter how much she ate. Though she was healthy he still wished her to gain a little more weight. He had brought many famous chef only to fatten her up.

She was much taller in compared to other girls of her age. Though he knew she was strong and had meats where needed he still felt her arms, legs and waist was thin. He feared in future when she has a child her weight would pose a problem leaving ailments on her body.

Yusheng didn't knew his worries and kept munching what was served. She had been eating and drinking a lot after she was reborn. May be as her past life ended with hunger and thirst. This life she craved for delicious food and drinks even in seclusion she made sure to eat and drink with gusto.

The royal couples who had been peeking and eyeing on the couple were also happy. Emperor was in glee as his son was henpecked and soon in future would also suffer like himself. Not daring to go west when told East.

There were times when his son had a look of disgust and contempt when seeing the emperor trying to fawn and coax his angry empress. Now he couldn't wait for the day when he could return his own mocking when Pei Jin fawns and coaxes angry Yusheng.

Pei Zhang felt his life was like a kite whose thread was now in hands of these demonic couple. He was thinking of many excuses to leave the capital and run back to his grandfather. Where he could run like a wild horse.

With the top three decided it was time for them to get their awards. All of them were brimming with excitement and pride for being the top three. Still the three leaders were humble when facing the royals.

The parents of these youths were also brimming with pride and joy. Though a race it still was a show of strength, leading ability and intellect a way to impress people high above.
