Chapter 109 The Eldest Princess: I Have Experience Making Fertilizer
Gradually, the sun rose high in the sky, and it was already noon.
The muffled, suppressed roars from the side courtyard had completely stopped.
The only sounds in the air were the chirping of cicadas and the faint noise coming from the distant river.
Wu Feng slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.
The internal energy has been mostly restored, and although there is still some lingering pain in the meridians, it no longer affects movement.
He checked his physical condition and felt that he was almost there, so he stood up from the bluestone.
I need to hurry back to my room before Li Yunrui comes back.
If Li Yunrui finds out that he ran out to cultivate again before his injuries had fully healed, he'll probably get another scolding.
Thinking about this, Wu Feng recalled the experiences of the past two days, and noticed that Li Yunrui's attitude towards him had changed significantly.
My possessiveness is getting stronger and stronger.
Fortunately, he could handle it.
He slowed his pace and walked towards the room.
Little did he know that just as he reached the vicinity of the moon gate, a crimson figure appeared at the other end of the corridor.
Li Yunrui has returned.
She was still wearing that blood-red palace dress, which made her skin appear even whiter.
Her hair was neatly tied up, with a few stray strands falling beside her cheeks, and she wore a gentle smile.
Upon seeing Wu Feng standing in the courtyard, she paused slightly, and her eyes darkened.
But the expression on her face remained gentle and charming.
"Little Wuzi~"
The voice was soft and melodious, like a feather tickling the tip of one's heart.
Wu Feng paused, his expression stiffening slightly, before slowly turning around to look at the voluptuous red figure in the distance behind him.
Oops----
"Um—Your Highness, why are you back so soon?" Wu Feng said with a smile.
Li Yunrui remained silent.
She walked gracefully to Wu Feng, stopped just half a step away from him, and quietly looked at him for a few moments.
The two were very close, and Wu Feng could smell her unique, comforting fragrance.
But there was also a very faint smell of blood mixed in.
Her eyes were calm, but Wu Feng felt his blood slowly congealing.
A chilling pressure emanated from Li Yunrui.
Just when he was about to lose his temper, a gentle smile appeared on Li Yunrui's face.
She raised her hand, her slender, warm fingers gently adjusting Wu Feng's slightly open collar.
Then, she took out her plain white handkerchief from her sleeve, leaned close to Wu Feng, and wiped away non-existent sweat from his neck.
Wu Feng dared not dodge.
"Look at you," Li Yunrui said softly, with a hint of reproach, "You don't even know to hide from the sun, you're all sweating."
Wu Feng could feel the warmth of her fingertips through the handkerchief, and the slight, ticklish friction that made his heart flutter.
This made his body tremble.
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong." He immediately begged for forgiveness, "You know, I really can't stay still in bed alone—"
Quietly, several more breaths passed.
Seeing that Wu Feng obediently admitted his mistake and was not faking it, Li Yunrui's expression softened.
"It's good that you admit your mistake," she said. "I know you can't stay idle, but the doctor said you need to rest and recuperate until your meridians are fully restored before you can continue your cultivation."
"I'm doing this for your own good, you know?"
Wu Feng immediately nodded: "I understand, Your Highness."
He reached out and took Li Yunrui's arm: "Your Highness, it's too sunny here, let's go back."
Li Yunrui gently shook his head.
"No rush—" she drawled, with a hint of languor, "I don't like this smell right now. You—accompany me to take a bath first."
Wu Feng paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
The two then turned around and slowly walked towards the bathhouse in the back courtyard of the main courtyard.
Chunmei followed silently a few steps behind them, head down, eyes fixed straight ahead.
After walking along the corridor for a while, Li Yunrui suddenly stopped.
She turned her head to look at the clusters of flowers in the courtyard outside the corridor.
The flowers were sparsely blooming, and some petals had already curled and turned yellow, looking listless in the afternoon sun.
Seeing this, Li Yunrui showed a hint of annoyance on his face, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Wu Feng asked, puzzled.
Li Yunrui sighed softly.
"We shouldn't have disposed of those assassins' bodies so early; we should have kept them to make fertilizer." Her voice was gentle, but her words sent chills down one's spine.
She pointed to the flowers: "Look, the flowers in this yard aren't growing well at all. I wonder who's taking care of them."
Wu Feng looked in the direction she was pointing.
Indeed, the flowers were sparse and their colors were not bright, making them seem out of place in this exquisite courtyard.
"Your Highness, we are only staying here for a short time," he said softly. "No matter how beautifully these flowers bloom, they are not ours, so it doesn't matter how they bloom."
Li Yunrui turned her head slightly, revealing a charming yet sickly smile on her face.
"The layout of this courtyard is quite nice," she said gently. "I've already had Chunmei buy it and put it in your name."
Wu Feng paused for a moment, then looked at her, and slowly lowered his hand from her arm to gently embrace her voluptuous waist.
[Ding~ Mood points +180!]
"Thank you, Your Highness." His voice was tinged with laughter. "Your Highness, you are so kind to me."
Li Yunrui smiled and said, "You belong to me. If I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?"
She turned to look at Chunmei behind her, her voice calm: "Use those pots of meat and bones in the side courtyard as fertilizer."
Chunmei quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Li Yunrui turned back, her gaze returning to the flowers, a look of almost obsessive fascination in her eyes.
"Next year, it will be a riot of color again."
Wu Feng's lips twitched slightly.
This crazy woman has had another episode.
Li Yunrui seemed to notice his subtle reaction and turned to look at him.
Her expression was gentle, and her tone was as soft as if she were speaking sweet nothings: "I have the most experience in making fertilizer."
"Don't worry, the flowers in this yard will definitely bloom beautifully next year."
Wu Feng nodded. He naturally believed that in this world, no one could compare to this crazy woman when it came to making fertilizer.
He took her hand and said earnestly, "I believe in Your Highness."
Li Yunrui nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Let's go," she said, withdrawing her hand and taking Wu Feng's arm again. "Let's go take a bath."
The two continued walking towards the bathroom.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the roof, casting dappled shadows on them.
Chunmei followed behind, watching the two figures walking side by side, and sighed softly in her heart.
This time, His Highness is serious.
She had said before that Wu Feng's transfer to His Highness's side was a good thing, but it could also be a bad thing.
Hopefully, Wu Feng won't cross His Highness's bottom line.
At the same time, she also had to talk to the other maids and tell them not to get too close to Wu Feng.
