Here, Zhao Shuning was sitting with her legs crossed in the yard of her small bamboo house in the suburbs.
In front of her, a delicious lamb leg was roasting on the fire.
“Such a pity. I have to enjoy this delicacy all by myself,” Zhao Shuning murmured.
She went into the house and took out several knives. Just as she was about to dig in, a flash of red dashed past her eyes.
At first, she didn't pay much attention.
But at the last moment, due to the jolt, the woman's face was revealed.
Although her face was now in a complete mess, covered in blood, the red lotus on her forehead immediately stunned Zhao Shuning.
A red lotus between the eyebrows?
Apart from herself when she was a child, there should only be that woman in the Marquis Mansion in this world.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shuning didn't have time to worry about the greasy lamb leg on the grill. She casually put out the fire and immediately chased after the direction where the figure disappeared.
Of course, she didn't forget to put on her veil.
The person's lightness kung fu was really remarkable. Zhao Shuning hesitated for just a moment. When she chased out again, the person was already out of sight.
Tang Qi, carrying Luo Feiyan on his back, had already reached a small river on the outskirts.
Near this small river were all towering ancient trees. Under the cover of these trees, no one would be able to see what happened even if something did occur.
He put Luo Feiyan down.
Tang Qi wet his clothes with the river water and wiped the blood off Luo Feiyan's face.
At this moment, Luo Feiyan was not dead yet.
Her chest was still rising and falling slightly.
Looking at this graceful body, Tang Qi involuntarily swallowed his saliva.
After wiping the blood off her face, Tang Qi sat cross - legged on the ground and carefully examined her.
“It's a pity. Such a beauty. I'm afraid there won't be a second one like you in this world,” he sighed.
Even though half of Luo Feiyan's face was swollen, it was still easy to see that she was extremely beautiful.
The girl's body was warm.
Tang Qi gently placed his hand on her.
The softness and warmth immediately stirred up a fire in his lower abdomen.
Luo Feiyan suddenly woke up because of the sudden coolness.
As soon as she woke up,
What she saw was Tang Qi's lecherous look.
Luo Feiyan's sudden opening of her eyes also gave Tang Qi a big scare.
Luo Feiyan somehow found the strength to kick Tang Qi in front of her hard.
Tang Qi groaned in pain, hugging his lower body, and it took him a long time to recover. Cold sweat broke out on his face from the pain.
“Lecher!” Luo Feiyan shouted.
Seeing Luo Feiyan like this, Tang Qi's lust immediately subsided, and what welled up in his heart was anger.
Zhao Shuning had been wandering in the mountains and seas, unable to find a way out. Suddenly, she heard a man's shrill scream and immediately chased in that direction.
At this moment, Tang Qi had already lost his patience.
His eyes were full of fierceness as he stared straight at Luo Feiyan.
“I'm the Crown Prince of Dongzhou. What's wrong with touching you?”
“A woman like you should feel lucky to be able to pleasure me. It's a blessing you earned in your previous life.”
“You're about to die anyway. It's not too much to satisfy me, is it?”
Luo Feiyan shook her head desperately.
The places where Tang Qi had touched her just now made her feel extremely nauseous.
“Don't even think about resisting. It would be as easy as pie for me to kill you. Anyway, those who don't go to Changfeng Academy for five consecutive days will be automatically expelled. By the time they find you, they'll only see your corpse.”
“Tang Qi, please—don't—”
Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, and she looked so pitiful.
She pleaded and backed away. The blood on her arm had already dried, but as she waved it vigorously, the blood started to flow out again.
“You'd better think it over. If you're obedient, I'll be gentle with you. At least you'll have experienced being a woman before you die.”
“You're shameless!” Luo Feiyan scolded.
Tang Qi laughed loudly.
His dissolute look was really annoying.
It could be seen that he must have done many such despicable things in Dongzhou.
“If you don't submit, it doesn't matter to me. It'll just be a bit uncomfortable for me later. But a dead person is much better than a living one who can hurt me.”
Tears streamed down Luo Feiyan's face.
She couldn't wipe them dry no matter how hard she tried.
Where was Yanzi? Where was the personal maid Yanzi sent by her mother?
Why wasn't she here?
Luo Feiyan was extremely scared.
She had never seen such a situation before.
From childhood to adulthood, she had always been self - respecting and kind. She had never done anything immoral, but why had none of the sufferings in the world and the malice of people spared her?
“Tang Qi, Your Highness—please don't—”
Luo Feiyan's head was splitting with pain at this moment.
Her eyes were full of disappointment.
This was not the academy where she could soar into the sky and be reborn like a phoenix.
It was clearly a place full of bullies who would devour people without spitting out the bones.
“Don't—”
The woman's shrill scream echoed through the sky.
Zhao Shuning frowned and quickly locked in the direction. She rushed over at full speed.
Tang Qi's hand touched the clothes that had been dyed red by the blood. He gave a hard tug, and the clothes immediately tore into two pieces.
Luo Feiyan desperately covered the remaining half of her clothes, barely covering her important parts.
Tears and blood dripped down her face.
She no longer cared about the pain in her chin.
Luo Feiyan's voice became hoarse.
She pleaded and knelt on the ground, but the man on the opposite side showed no reaction at all. Instead, there was a disgusting smile on his lips.
The man's smile.
The half - torn piece of clothing in his hand.
His slow steps towards her.
Each step filled Luo Feiyan with despair.
She regretted it.
She regretted coming here to study.
Where was her mother? Why didn't her mother come to save her?
Her father didn't seem to care about her life or death. He probably didn't even see her as his daughter, right?
Tang Qi looked at the woman in front of him.
The more sadly she cried, the more excited he felt.
In Dongzhou before, countless women had thrown themselves at him, and he had never refused. But he had never met a woman who dared to resist him like this.
He walked up to Luo Feiyan.
Looking at her desperate eyes, her trembling body, and the tears in her eyes, Tang Qi actually felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart.
No matter how charming, noble, and invincible a woman was, she had to kneel at his feet.
Under Luo Feiyan's pleading gaze, Tang Qi's hand unhesitatingly landed on the last piece of Luo Feiyan's tattered cloth.
Beneath the cloth was the last bit of Luo Feiyan's dignity.
“Don't—”
“Rip—”
The last piece of clothing was lifted.
Luo Feiyan gritted her teeth, but found that she couldn't even bite her tongue to kill herself. Her jaw was dislocated and she couldn't close her mouth.
Just as Luo Feiyan closed her eyes, feeling completely hopeless, a warm long gown suddenly covered her body.
There was also the faint fragrance of gardenias on it.
