Chapter 86
At the moment, Shang Wuxin had swam far away along the current. She did not dare to appear out of fear that someone would actually come looking for her. However, Shang Wuxin was surprised to see someone, and that person was none other than Nangong Qian, who was swimming towards her in the water.
She did not know what she was feeling right now. Nangong Qian’s purple robes fluttered in the water like silk. Nangong Qian’s eyes were cold, but he knew that this person was not bad. A person knew that this was a trap but she still came after him. Shang Wuxin felt that from this moment onwards, she might not be planning to deal with this Nangong Qian, but she did not have the heart to scheme against him.
Nangong Qian searched for a long time before he saw the youth in the water. Perhaps it was due to the fear of being hit by the lake water, but the youth’s hair had already spread out like seaweed and covered his back. The youth’s already beautiful face now had a few layers of charm to it, causing Nangong Qian’s heart to burn.
Nangong Qian knew he was crazy, he was really crazy! It was because at that moment, in his heart, he was actually thinking of placing such a young man by his side and extremely pampering and protecting him so that he could become his person! Perhaps he had such a thought before, but it had never been this profound. He truly liked a young man, a young man whose position and power was on par with him.
Nangong Qian swam to Prince Shang’s side. After confirming the feelings in his heart, he intentionally hugged Prince Shang who was still in the water. His soft waist formed an intense contrast with his strong arms.
When Nangong Qian’s lips touched Shang Wuxin’s, Nangong Qian felt that the world had become beautiful. The boy’s lips were too cold but also too soft from the water. That sort of taste was a medicine that one would never be able to put down after tasting it.
Nangong Qian had never kissed a mistress before. No, other than his little sister, he had never touched a woman. But at this moment, he felt that the man in his arms smelled better than any woman.
Nangong Qian carefully and gently used the tip of his tongue to outline the lips of the youth in his arms. He then pried open her teeth and extended his hand to find the young man’s little lilac tongue.
To Nangong Qian, this was an extremely beautiful kiss, but to Shang Wuxin, this kiss made her feel disgusted and afraid. Thus, when Nangong Qian discovered that something was wrong, he noticed that the youth in his arms was trembling, even his teeth were chattering.
Nangong Qian panicked. He thought that it was because of their man’s identity that this young man was afraid. No matter how powerful the young man in his arms was, he was only a fifteen year old young man. Nangong Qian couldn’t help but feel guilty and wanted to slap himself a few times.
Shang Wuxin thought of his nightmare, he had no time to worry about being sucked into the lake. Nangong Qian could only endure the pain in his heart and breathe into Prince Shang’s mouth a few times, but Nangong Qian did not have the ambiguous thoughts, her heart was filled with regret and satisfaction.
Nangong Qian carried Shang Wuxin and went ashore. They did not know where they were but they did not know how far they were from the place where the incident had occurred. Nangong Qian came to the shore and put Shang Wuxin down. Looking at the terrifyingly pale youth, this was the first time Nangong Qian hated him so much, how could he do this?
“Wuxin, if you’re not comfortable, hit me and scold me. Just give me a few slashes and don’t be like this!” Nangong Qian looked at Shang Wuxin who kept her head down without saying a word. He admitted that he was moved and even had thoughts of making Prince Shang his wife in the future, but under Prince Shang’s expression of disgust and fear, he woke up.
Shang Wuxin crouched down and started retching. His stomach was empty, but he still felt disgusted, so much so that he almost vomited his bile. No one knew that Shang had no intention to cut off his own flesh and wash it properly. However, when she looked at her soft and delicate hands, she knew that her body was clean, even if her heart was dirty.
Nangong Qian felt that Prince Shang was throwing up because he was disgusted by his actions. After all, two men kissing a normal man was unacceptable, let alone a man like Prince Shang.
Seeing that Prince Shang was spitting out blood, Nangong Qian could not help but step forward and pat the back of the youth. The youth’s back was very skinny, and Nangong Qian could feel Prince Shang’s body stiffening. His face did not change, but his eyes became darker.
It was only when Shang Wuxin felt that her stomach felt better that she stood up and looked at Nangong Qian. The Nangong Qian in her field of vision, even though her clothes were drenched but her facial features were handsome, although she did not say a word, her imposing aura was enough to intimidate many people.
Nangong Qian took out the short blade he had brought with him and handed it to Prince Shang, his voice full of determination, “If you hate me, then stab me a few times, I …” “I …” Nangong Qian did not know how to explain. He explained how he was sincere and how he could not help but explain that he was in love with a man.
If Shang Wuxin had thought Nangong Qian was good, then Shang Wuxin was disgusted with Nangong Qian. Yes, disgust. The first time she wanted to hide something that she wanted to forget when Lei Yutian went insane was because Nangong Qian was by her side, but now, the second was a kiss from Nangong Qian. Although she was not as disgusting as her previous life, this kiss made her soul feel disgusted.
Shang Wuxin picked up the sharp dagger, the dagger swept across Nangong Qian’s straight nose, then came the sharp lips, the protruding Adam’s apple and stopped at Nangong Qian’s chest.
Nangong Qian could feel the cold feeling of the short blade against him, but he didn’t know why he wasn’t afraid. He had always been a person who dared to act bravely. If he hadn’t seen Prince Shang in such a miserable state, perhaps he would have taken any possible measures to imprison Prince Shang by his side in the future. But now, he knew that if he did so, he would not only ruin Prince Shang himself.
Shang Wuxin looked at Nangong Qian who seemed to have given her life to her without moving, even though she was still disgusted. Even if she really wanted to stab this blade into Nangong Qian’s chest, if Nangong Qian had resisted, she might really have done so. However, Nangong Qian’s current state made Shang Wuxin calm down. She knew that Nangong Qian could not die, much less in Shang Country. As for that kiss, Shang Wuxin would rather forget about it.
“Lord Qian,” Shang Wuxin pointed the short knife at Gong Qian’s chest and said, “Lord Qian’s domestic affairs are busy, I won’t keep you any longer!” As he spoke, he used a short knife to poke at Nangong Qian’s chest, and even his clothes were sliced open by the sharp short knife, revealing his well-built chest.
Nangong Qian knew that the Crown Prince was driving him away, but he also knew that he couldn’t say no. He should have gone back to the Nangong Kingdom a long time ago, but he stayed for so long for a person he dared to be interested in. He didn’t want to lose his heart. If he could do it again, he would do it because he knew that he would never be tempted except perhaps by this youth in this life.
After suppressing the sadness in his heart, those weak feelings never belonged to him. Even the young man in front of him, Nangong Qian, did not wish to lose face and let Prince Shang look down on him.
“It’s indeed time for This King to return home!” Nangong Qian looked at the surface of the lake and said, “But I hope to remain as friends with Prince Shang before I leave. If Prince Shang doesn’t agree to it, then it would be nice to stay in Shang for a few days!”
This was not a threat, but a warning. He did not want to end up like Prince Shang in the end, knowing that Prince Shang would agree. She was smart enough to know what to do and what not to do.
As expected, Shang Wuxin did not even bother to think as she said calmly, “Prince Qian and I were friends after all, so you are too polite!” Without the disgust from before, Shang Wuxin knew that Nangong Qian was an extremely difficult person to deal with, and she did not think it was a good thing for them to become enemies.
“What happened today?” Nangong Qian had already guessed about seventy to eighty percent, but he still wanted to find a topic to talk about. Otherwise, the atmosphere between the two would be very awkward, and he did not want Prince Shang to recall that disgusting kiss, even if it was the most beautiful one in the world.
Shang Wuxin did not feel that there was anything to hide, so he slowly began to explain.
Shang Wuxin had known from the start that the ambush was aimed at her as well as the Third Prince. She was well aware that the Third Prince was not so stupid as to assassinate her at her banquet, but these assassins had given her a chance to get rid of the Third Prince.
So she purposely delayed for time for Fearless to bring people over to finish off all the assassins on the boat. Fearless and the others were worthy of the fact that they had spent so much effort to cultivate the Immoveable Breath, even though there weren’t many assassins. After that, she had Dauntless and the others come over to assassinate him and Shang Chengying. She had been injured and fell into the water on her own account, so she had gotten it all from the assassination attempt. This was a must for her to assassinate Shang Chengying. From the moment Shang Chengying had placed Kong’er by his side, she had tried to kill him. The next step was to find the mastermind behind the attack, and the next one was to get rid of the other one.
“That woman isn’t from the Third Prince?” Nangong Qian asked doubtfully.
Shang Wuxin nodded, “Indeed, I thought Kong’er was Shang Chengying’s man. No, Kong’er is indeed Shang Chengying’s man, but it was someone else who placed the jar beside Shang Chengying and Shang Chengying sent him to his side!” If she didn’t know that Kong Er had someone backing her up after so many investigations, even she would have been tricked.
“Have you guessed who’s behind you?”
“Fifty percent sure!”
