Chapter 812: Getting the needle, finding you

The sound of breaking roof tiles continued as the light from the fireworks illuminated the dim building. Han Yunxi was sitting at the tea table while staring blankly at the stack of letters. Suddenly, someone muffled her mouth from behind. In alarm, she released a needle, but the assailant seemed very familiar with her poison skills and simply avoided her attack, then grabbed her other hand before she could release more poisons.

She didn’t know martial arts, so she couldn’t do anything against a sudden attack from a high level expert. She was in an extremely bad mood and struggled fiercely, but it made no difference. Unexpectedly, the assailant actually tore at her purple muslin outerwear! Caught off guard, Han Yunxi didn’t have time to react before her outer robes were ripped apart and thrown to the ground!

Astonished, she almost lost her soul in fear! She struggled harder, but the assailant was too strong and trapped her completely within his arms. He leaned in by her ear and murmured, “Don’t be afraid. I only wanted to confirm something, I won’t hurt you.”

Despite the warm breath by her ear, Han Yunxi still felt a chill upon hearing the voice.

It was him, Ning Cheng! Leader of the Di Clan!

Bastard, you’ve already hurt me! Han Yunxi cursed mentally. 

Since it was the height of summer, she couldn’t bear to wear the same under robes that other females did. All she had was a custom-made binding wrapped around her chest and a single strap top, then her outer robes on top. Now that the outer robe was ruined, she was nearly exposed before Ning Cheng’s eyes. Such skin would be normal in modern times, but she couldn’t imagine how furious Long Feiye would be if he found this out.

Very soon, Han Yunxi recovered her senses. What was she doing, thinking about Long Feiye’s reaction at a time like this?

Would he really care?

That cold, icy face and those fiery eyes showed up unbeckoned in her mind’s eye. Once again, her thoughts wandered during a dangerous moment. She couldn’t believe that his previous objections or fury had all been faked. 

Long Feiye, just when will you come back? I really need to ask you my question in person!

As Han Yunxi recovered her wits, Ning Cheng was left stunned! The strange news with such specific details that had overtaken Cloud Realm Continent seemed to expose Han Yunxi utterly, leaving the masses too shocked to doubt its veracity. Various factions across the continent were itching to see chaos, but he only wanted absolute proof! Chu Tianyin had once told him that the women of the West Qin imperial clan all had a phoenix birthmark on their backs! He only wanted to take off Han Yunxi’s outer robes and lift a corner of her inner ones to check for the birthmark, but never thought she would...she would only be wearing a top that exposed her shoulders with single straps. 

The level-headed Ning Cheng completely forgot about the phoenix birthmark as all of his self control plummeted to zero. This woman had taken too many of his “first times.” There was the first time he’d been splashed with wine, been cursed out verbally, been left preoccupied and distracted by a single needle from her possessions…

Here was another “first time!”

He’d never seen a woman who dressed in so little layers, much less held one so tightly in his arms! He’d never lost control of his heart, which was now beating wildly in his chest! He couldn’t control his gaze from sweeping across the beautiful curves of Han Yunxi’s back and resting on the light muslin that faintly covered her chest. He knew he shouldn’t be staring, but he was reluctant to peel his eyes away again and again.
