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 166: The Mind of a Serpent

```

"Stop fighting!"

In the midst of the clashing crowd, Deng Guang suddenly let out a thunderous shout.

He raised his arm high, signaling his personal soldiers to lower their weapons.

Once he called a halt, soldiers from both sides quickly retreated, creating a distance between them.

With a complicated feeling in his heart, Deng Guang looked at the silhouettes on the wall.

Blinded by beauty, he was only able to see the enchantress's allure and nearly missed her ruthlessness.

He had come very close to falling into the enchantress's trap!

So far, he had accused Feng Yun of beguiling the ruler, Wen Xingsu of being a spy for Qi Country, all the while outwardly maintaining Pei Jue's interests. He had not even dared to publicly betray Pei Jue.

Feng Yun's actions would surely draw criticism.

Shaking the troops' morale.

Deng Guang wanted to retain his gains, but he did not wish to bear the stigma of treachery and seeking glory by selling out his master.
