Empress, please have some self-respect. I am not your husband.

If it were anyone else, Lu Feng would definitely have cursed them in his heart.

But even he himself was puzzled as to why he had absolutely no desire to get angry.

He could only put aside his distractions and head to his official residence. He had considered using his cultivation to travel, but the capital was too crowded and noisy, so he decided against it.

After changing into a blue dress, he hurried to Ningxiang Tower.

Ningxianglou is one of the top restaurants in the entire capital of Qian Kingdom, and it is basically the place most frequently visited by the sons of the capital's wealthy families.

Unfortunately, it was quite far from Lu Feng's residence, and by the time Lu Feng arrived at Ningxiang Tower, it was already past midnight.

Inside the top-tier private room.

Qin Xinyi had a cold face, while Chu Hongyan, standing to the side, didn't seem to care. She rested her left hand on her cheek, maintaining a languid posture.

Opposite the two women were four men.

The person in the middle was clearly getting impatient and couldn't help but speak up: "Hey Xinyi, who exactly did you invite? Such a big shot! Making so many of us wait for him! It's already past midnight!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone around him chimed in, each one more annoyed than the last!

"Exactly! I only left because of Xinyi and Sister Hongyan, otherwise I would have left long ago!"

"What the hell is this thing? It's even more arrogant than us!"

"I think we should eat first."

Hearing these words, Qin Xinyi's already cold face darkened even more, clearly her patience had reached its limit, and she said coldly, "Xu Zilong, if you can't wait, you can leave first."

The Xu Zilong he was referring to was the young man who spoke first; his luxurious attire made him appear dashing and debonair.

His identity is even more extraordinary; he is the son of the Imperial Guard Commander.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards was a powerful figure who controlled 50,000 Imperial Guards. Even the Ministers of the Six Ministries had to treat him with great respect.

As the son of the Imperial Guard Commander, Xu Zilong's status among the second generation of wealthy families in the capital was self-evident.

Even Zhang Feng and Wang Qi, who were beaten by Lu Feng yesterday, did not dare to act recklessly in front of him.

Seeing that his goddess was a little unhappy, Xu Zilong smiled gently: "I'm sorry, Xinyi. You know I hate people who are not punctual, so I just vented a little. Don't take it to heart."

Chu Hongyan chuckled and teased, "Xu Zilong, one of the three young masters of the capital, is only this approachable in front of our Xinyi, isn't he?"

Xu Zilong didn't mind and smiled, "Sister Hongyan, you're mistaken. In front of you, Sister Hongyan, shouldn't I, Xu Zilong, also be extremely respectful?"

"I like to hear that. Come over here and give me a foot massage." Chu Hongyan raised an eyebrow.

Xu Zilong said helplessly, "Sister Hongyan, please stop playing with your little brother. You know I've always been thinking about Xinyi."

He appeared calm, but his heart skipped a beat.

Chu Hongyan is perhaps the woman that all the men in the capital both love and hate.

He loved her flirtatious and frivolous words and alluring appearance, but hated her because he wanted to touch her but dared not.

Anyone who takes her words seriously is doomed!

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a somewhat apologetic voice rang out: "I'm sorry, Miss Xinyi, something came up and I was held up."

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice. Qin Xinyi's eyes were icy, and her words were filled with anger: "Lu Feng, do you know what time it is now!"

She originally intended to use this occasion to introduce Chu Hongyan and some of her connections to Lu Feng, but who would have thought that Lu Feng would be late for such an important event!

How could she not be angry?

Landwind?

Upon hearing this name, Xu Zilong's expression changed, and the hostility in his eyes became obvious.

He was the son of the Imperial Guard Commander and a suitor of Qin Xinyi.

How could she not know that her goddess had suddenly appeared with a fiancé and had even refused the emperor's bestowal of marriage in front of all the civil and military officials?

Although this was indeed the result Xu Zilong wanted to see, the person the goddess had invited today had kept them waiting for almost half an hour.

It was actually Lu Feng! This made his sense of crisis suddenly erupt!

Could it be that the goddess and he have already developed some kind of intimate relationship?

The other three were filled with curiosity mixed with scrutiny.

The five of them had different emotions, but none of them noticed the shock, ecstasy, and disbelief in the peach blossom eyes of the other beauty in the capital!

The alluring Chu Hongyan was now finding it hard to suppress her emotions. She just wanted to run forward and crash into the man's arms to make sure that this encounter was not a dream!

He didn't die like the rumors said!

He is still alive!

I hope I can see him again in my lifetime!

Peach blossom eyes blurred involuntarily, yet Chu Hongyan felt the scene before her was so clear.

In the war-torn Xizhou, the allied forces of the three kingdoms ravaged the land like tigers and wolves. At that time, Qin Xinyi was in the border city fighting against the enemy!

Chu Hongyan, the wealthiest female businesswoman in the capital, is also the daughter of King Chu Fangming of Zhenwang.

It is our duty to act in this time of national crisis.

While raising a large amount of military rations, and with all the Qian Kingdom soldiers guarding Xizhou and no one daring to go to Xizhou to deliver rations, he resolutely used money to build a 3,000-man guard team and even personally accompanied them.

They escorted the military rations that could save countless soldiers of the Qian Kingdom into the war-torn land of Xizhou.

The guard of three thousand men was no match for the regular army of the three kingdoms. They were attacked by the allied forces, and countless people were killed. The desperate cries, blood and corpses assaulted her mind, making her even forget to run away.

As a result, she was captured alive by that enemy army.

Given her appearance, it's easy to imagine what would happen if she fell into the enemy's hands.

However, just as those beastly enemies were about to take turns enjoying her, he appeared!

The person wearing the Crimson Flame Demon Mask was like a god descending to earth, tearing those bastards to shreds one by one!

Finally, he lifted her onto his warhorse and held her in his arms as they fought for six hundred miles without harming her.

That was a scene Chu Hongyan would never forget in her life, until he delivered her to a safe place and was about to leave.

Chu Hongyan finally couldn't hold back any longer and reached out to remove the mask from the other person's face.

From that moment on, that unexpectedly young and handsome face was forever etched in her heart.

She never mentioned this to Qin Xinyi. She knew what the Crimson Flame War God looked like, and he even gave her a mask as a keepsake.

His subordinates even jokingly suggested that he marry them.

"Such a beautiful woman, no one but our God of War is worthy of her!"

He said at the time, "That's what I think too."

He then promised, "I'll come pick you up after I've wiped out those nine old guys."

Until the battle was over, news spread that she had been captured alive by the enemy for reasons unknown.

Even now, countless men secretly still tease her, calling her the daughter of the King of Zhen and the beautiful princess of Qian Kingdom.

How many enemy soldiers did she suffer humiliation in the past? What became of those enemy soldiers who touched her?

Chu Hongyan ignored these rumors and gossip. Perhaps she could prove her innocence by simply taking out that mask or marrying someone else.

But she would never think that way, because from the moment the news of the Crimson Flame War God's mutual destruction with nine grandmasters from the Three Kingdoms spread and the Crimson Flame Legion disbanded and disappeared from the world.

All she had left was that Crimson Demon Mask.
