ou think you can just call it even?”

Ling Yue’s face immediately reddened as it set aflame,a fiery red blush extending all the way to the tips of his ears.

His heart raced like mad, each beat seeming to resonate throughout his entire being.
He didn’t even dare to look Shi Sheng in the eyes.

“My apologies for injuring you, but you trespassed on Mt.
Wanyuan that time.”

“And for that, you injured me.” Shi Sheng gave him a slight smile.
“Attempted assassination of a Prime Minister warrants capital punishment, you know?”

Ling Yue, “…”

Shi Sheng’s fingertips trailed from his collar to his abdomen, a meaningful, suggestive smile on her face.
“Lil priest, want me to help you again?”

Ling Yue stiffened.
He couldn’t forget that night, no matter how much he tried.

He even occasionally…dreamt about things that shouldn’t be.

‘Why do I have these kinds of thoughts?’

“Prime Minister, don’t force me.” Ling Yue’s expression abruptly grew frosty.

Shi Sheng pulled her hand away, and she gave him a quick peck on the lips.
“Alright, I won’t tease you.
But remember: I will make you fall for me.
Before then, you’re not allowed to leave the residence.”

Ling Yue’s mind was buzzing.

‘She kissed me… She actually kissed me…’

Shi Sheng got off the bed and straightened out her clothing.
“Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? I reckon you probably didn’t eat much in the palace.”

Ling Yue stared at her dumbly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t drug you.
If I wanted to use force, right now you’d be…”

Shi Sheng gave him a suggestive once-over.

Ling Yue’s face was burning, as he pulled the blankets over himself to block her gaze. ‘Why is this woman so shameless?’

“Pfft—”

‘Naturally, no matter who my Feng Ci turns into, he can’t change his shy nature.’

Shi Sheng was in a good mood, as she went outside to order the servants to prepare some food.

Even with all the dishes served, Ling Yue still sat on the bed, red-faced.

“Want me to feed you?”

Ling Yue shook his head.

“Then why aren’t you getting down?” Shi Sheng paused.
“I can carry you.”

As she said this, she walked towards the bed.

Ling Yue immediately tossed the blanket aside and got off.

Shi Sheng gave him a rather regretful look before walking over to the table.
“Let’s eat.”

Seeing Shi Sheng take a seat, as well as the two sets of bowls and chopsticks, he remained in his spot.

“…You’re eating here too?”

“Can’t I? This is my house.
It’s my freedom to pick where I eat.”

Ling Yue, “…” ‘There’s no way to refute that…’

He dawdled for a bit, but eventually still went over.
He hadn’t eaten much in the palace.
He hadn’t even drunk much water there.

Having considered the fact that Ling Yue was a priest, Shi Sheng got the servants to prepare vegetarian dishes.
Though it couldn’t compare to those master chefs from modern worlds, the food was still rather delicious.

Ling Yue didn’t say a word, as he picked up his bowl and began eating.

Shi Sheng found that he was actually a picky eater.
Out of several different dishes, he only ate one.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘I keep feeling like he’s going to be hard to please this time.’

“I want to return to Mt.
Wanyuan.” Ling Yue set down his bowl and looked at Shi Sheng.

She scowled and turned to meet his eyes.
“Were you not listening to me just now?”

Ling Yue pursed his lips.
“I want to go back there to get something.”

Shi Sheng’s scowl immediately dissolved into a grin.
“En.
I’ll accompany you tomorrow.”

She got the servants to clear away the dishes.
Before leaving, she asked him, “Where’s that sword of yours?”

“In the palace.” Ling Yue frowned and replied.

‘I’ve got to go get it back.’

“Rest up.
I’ll bring you to Mt.
Wanyuan tomorrow.” Shi Sheng nodded.
“Don’t run off, otherwise I’ll kill your Junior Brother.”

“You won’t.” Ling Yue suddenly replied confidently.

“Is that so? Just try me.” Shi Sheng’s lips pulled upward in an insincere smile.
