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 41 Two Men in Conflict

The carriage stopped at the bend of the narrow path, Feng Yun shakily stepped down, noticing the sky growing dark as the afterglow was already being absorbed into the clouds.

Beyond the official road lay a wild land overgrown with lush grass and trees, its distance from Huaxi Village unknown.

Chunyu Yan had two maidservants follow her, "Don't go far."

Feng Yun turned back, looking at the mysterious Mountain Eagle Mask inside the carriage curtain, "Crown Prince, no peeking."

Chunyu Yan hummed and dropped the curtain.

Feng Yun bowed to the two maidservants, "Thank you."

The maidservants did not respond, their eyelids not even flickering, as moody as their master.

Feng Yun did not mind.

With the support of the maidservants, she walked toward the depths of the brush, her body so weak it seemed like she would collapse at any moment...

Finding a secluded spot surrounded by thick thorns and trees, she said to the maidservants, "I'll manage by myself."
