Chapter 149 Acting
As night fell, the revelry at the banquet truly began. Shi Ran and his companions understood the preferences of the nobles, and most of the courtesans and dancers they invited were stunningly beautiful. Their enchanting figures and graceful dances stirred the desires hidden deep within the hearts of the audience. They also invited a number of male prostitutes, who composed poems and sang, danced with swords, and were so graceful that they made the noble ladies blush.
Xiaoyao sat quietly in the pavilion. Ever since being pulled back by Xiangxuan, she'd been warned not to wander. Bored, she could only observe with interest the people at the banquet flirting with each other. She watched the clan members point fingers at which geisha, discussing who would be the one tonight, who would be the one booked, and even one of them had booked a male prostitute! Xiaoyao felt completely nauseous. Hot thoughts, all over. Her mind automatically replayed images of two men engaging in physical combat. But then she remembered that she and Xiangyao had also experienced the early stages of sex – both men and women – and her blood instantly boiled. Her mouth was dry. She quickly drank some tea to suppress the evil thoughts within.
As the night deepened, the ladies did not dare to stay like the men and all said goodbye and left. Only a few people were left at the banquet. Fang Fengbei had already disappeared. Seeing Xuanxuan and Yuqiang walking towards her, talking and laughing, Xiaoyao stood up and walked out.
"Brother, I'll wait for you in the carriage!"
Xuan nodded and continued to have a pleasant conversation with Yu Qiang.
After Xiaoyao went out, she saw Fangfengbei drinking not far away. Xiaoyao was confused for a moment, then saw Fangfengbei stretch out two fingers and point to the sky. Xiaoyao immediately understood, and the two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
When Xuan went out, he saw this scene and almost went berserk again, but thinking of Yu Qiang, he could not get angry. Unexpectedly, he saw Xiao Yao's terrified expression.
"Brother! Be careful!"
But it was too late. Xiao Yao was slapped away by Yu Qiang's palm. The powerful momentum knocked Xiao Yao to the ground. When he was about to hit the carriage, he was supported by a spiritual force. To outsiders, it seemed that Xiao Yao had hit the carriage. Didn't you see that the carriage was broken into pieces? Xiao Yao used his spiritual force to force out a mouthful of blood, and it looked like he was seriously injured! Yu Qiang wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue him.
"Yu Qiang! How dare you! Are you going to betray Hao Ling? Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to the family?"
"He killed my brother, and I want revenge. This is my own business and has nothing to do with the family! Today, I will kill him."
"He is my brother, and I am Princess Haoling. If I say it's related, then it's related!"
Xiaoyao crawled with difficulty. Her determination to protect Xiaoxuan moved Xiaoxuan, who was both moved and desperate. Who could say their brother-sister relationship wasn't deep?
"Fang Fengbei, please save my brother, please."
"I can't beat Yu Qiang..."
"Just stop him! The secret guards will be here soon!"
However, there was a barrier here, and the secret guards couldn't get in at all, so they could only worry on the other side.
"Ok."
Fang Fengbei stood up and rushed towards Yu Qiang. Before he could even get close enough to exchange a few blows, he was knocked flying by Yu Qiang. Just as Yu Qiang was about to chop off Yu Xuan's head with his sword, the blade was shattered by a burst of spiritual energy. Chi Shuixian, hidden in the shadows, finally made his move. Chi Shuixian led Yu Qiang away. Yu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to smile at Xiao Yao when she saw Xiao Yao stand up in fear again. Her small body stood in front of him, arms outstretched, blocking Yu Xuan's way! Yu Xuan realized something and looked up into the air, instantly filled with fear.
"Xiaoyao, get out of the way!" He wanted to get up, but he was too weak to do so.
At that moment, Fang Fengbei struggled to his feet and rushed over, scooping Xiaoyao up in his arms! Meanwhile, the Sky Man revealed a sinister smile. He drew his bow, his murderous intent terrifying. Could this man even dare to kill the princess? Who was he?
As the sound of breaking wind rang out, arrows with terrifying murderous intent pierced through the darkness and came towards the three people below, as if to pierce through them. Xuan also thought that Xiaoyao and Fangfengbei would die today. How could he resist such a terrifying murderous intent!
"Xiaoyao, get out of the way..."
Before he could finish his words, the arrow that was originally shot straight at him suddenly bypassed Fangfeng Bei and Xiao Yao, went back from the back and shot directly into Xuanxuan's chest, one inch away from his heart.
Xuan stared blankly at the bloody arrow on his chest, puzzled for a moment.
"Xiang Liu?"
He just murmured a few words and then fainted.
Xiao Yao patted Fang Fengbei's body gently and looked back at Xuan who had fainted.
"Tsk, so useless! My husband is really amazing. My sister is here too?"
"Well, Yan Mo came here and has something to give you. Your sister asked me to act like this so that I can have an excuse to play with you in the future. Are you satisfied with my acting skills?"
"Very satisfied! I'll reward you when I get home tonight!"
At this moment, Xuan's secret guards finally opened the barrier and arrived belatedly. Several of the demon clan secret guards nodded to Xiaoyao and Fangfengbei before they had Xuan lifted up and carried him back!
"Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao, what's wrong with you? Wang Ji fainted. I'll take her back with you!"
Of course she pretended to faint so that she wouldn't have to treat Xuanxuan's wounds. She felt it would dirty her hands!
On the other side, Tianma
Xiang Liu, dressed in black, imprisoned Yan Mo in his arms
"Just now, was your husband handsome?"
Yan Mo laughed when he heard this and just looked at Xiangliu. Without getting a satisfactory answer, Xiangliu was a little annoyed. This woman was just trying to make him angry!
"Hahahaha, Xiangliu you're so cute! Ah, why did you hit me!"
"You deserve to be punished!" Xiangliu slapped her on the butt a few more times!
"Handsome, brother is the most handsome, please spare me!"
Xiangliu curled his lips and chuckled, as if he had gotten a satisfactory answer.
"Let's go, I'll take you out to play..."
"Where?"
"Go somewhere you haven't been..."
……
Xuanyuan Palace
King Xuanyuan's face was gloomy. He looked at Shi Ran and Yue Liang kneeling on the ground, furious! He had just returned and he was being treated to this scene. Did he want the world to laugh at the discord between the royal brothers and the brothers fighting for power?
"You are so bold, do you think I don't know it was you who did it because I don't have any evidence?
"Your Majesty, it's really not us. Even if we were given ten times the courage, we wouldn't dare to attack Princess Haoling!"
Shi Ran and the others were also confused. They had bewitched Yu Qiang, but they didn't hire a killer. The Fangfeng family would not accept their missions!
Looking at the two stupid grandsons, from the confusion in their eyes, it seems that they really didn't do it.
"This person's archery skills are unparalleled. It's rare to find such a master in the world who can make an arrow deflect. The Fangfeng family..."
Shi Ran: "Impossible, Fang Fengbei was there at the time!"
Yue Liang: "Fang Feng Yiying?"
Shi Ran: “I heard someone said it’s a man’s body!”
Yue Liang: "Is there anyone else who has this archery skill?"
Shi Ran shook his head
"Okay, you go down!"
Looking at these two fools, King Xuanyuan shook his head in a headache. Judging from Xiaoyao's behavior, she really cares about Xuanxuan...
"Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao..."
"Your Highness, Wang Ji is fine, you can rest and recover!"
"Why doesn't she come to see me?"
"The princess was frightened and fainted. She is resting and cannot come. The princess is in good health!"
"Okay, that'll do!"
In the small room
"What reward do you want, husband?"
"Asking knowingly..."
