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 77: Riding the Horse Across Emotions

The horse was swaying.

Feng Yun's body swayed along with it.

The horse's movements were not wide, but squeezed on its back and nestled in Pei Jue's arms, she could sense any slight emotion, his fervor, and his madness. Her heart felt somewhat sour. This familiarity caused her pain and fear, yet she had no choice but to hold on to him tightly to avoid being thrown off.

The wind caressed her cheeks, cool.

Feng Yun found it harder to breathe.

"Let's return to the residence," Feng Yun gazed at the street lamps not far ahead and grabbed Pei Jue's collar, saying it again.

"Scared?" Pei Jue propped her up, his voice deep as it fell in her ear, as if carrying the night's enchantment, as charming as it gets, "Hold on to me."

"Scared," Feng Yun buried herself in his embrace. There actually was no light or people around, but it was exactly this darkness that made Pei Jue's breathing exceptionally clear and prolonged, further disrupting her heart.
