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

Her beautiful eyes were filled with resentment. Having realized her fate, Yu Ningyan was unwilling to become a discarded pawn.

She wants to live!

At this moment, the only ones who can protect her, besides the Emperor of Qian Kingdom, are Lu Feng in front of her!

Even more than the Emperor of Qian Kingdom, Yu Ningyan wanted Lu Feng's promise.

A person of the second rank would be treated as an honored guest by the royal family in any country.

Especially now that there are no more first-grade grandmasters in the world, second-grade experts are undoubtedly among the strongest in the world.

Looking at Yu Ningyan in front of him, Lu Feng was speechless.

This has gotten me into trouble again.

He had initially realized that someone wanted Yu Ningyan to die in the capital of Qian Kingdom, which is why he stepped in to help.

If only I had killed the other five assassins earlier, I could have just handed Yu Ningyan over to the Qian Kingdom's Imperial Guards to deal with.

“I don’t like trouble,” Lu Feng said.

Yu Ningyan was a little anxious: "With your strength, protecting me shouldn't be difficult."

“But this will cause me trouble,” Lu Feng said again.

Although he wasn't afraid of trouble, now that his savior had been found and his injuries were expected to heal, he didn't want to cause any more trouble. What he truly desired was to travel the world with Chu Hongyan and live a carefree life after his injuries were healed.

Yu Ningyan's eyes immediately dimmed. She knew that she had been rejected by Lu Feng once again, even though she offered her body as a reward.

If the person in front of her really coveted her, he would have agreed to go back to Western Chu with her long ago.

With a sad smile, Yu Ningyan nodded: "I understand. Please take me back to the State Guesthouse."

Since there is no hope of survival, one can only accept death with equanimity.

Watching her turn away from the room, looking lost and dejected, Lu Feng frowned, just as Yu Ningyan was about to leave the room.

He finally spoke up: "Fine, I'll take you to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow."

Let's use this jade-like rouge to make a move first.

Upon hearing Lu Feng's words, Yu Ningyan turned around abruptly, her face filled with a mixture of surprise and delight: "You...you agreed!"

“I guarantee you’ll return to Western Chu alive, but until then you have to listen to me and do as I say,” Lu Feng nodded.

Yu Ningyan quickly stepped forward: "What do you plan to do?"

"listen to me……"

After hearing Lu Feng's words, Yu Ningyan's beautiful eyes widened: "Aren't you afraid of death? Although the Crimson Flame Legion has disbanded, there are still many people hiding in the world. Aren't you afraid they will come looking for you and kill you?"

Lu Feng's lips curled up. "Let me tell you a secret."

"What secret?" Yu Ningyan asked curiously.

“Actually, I am the Crimson Flame War God,” Lu Feng said solemnly.

Yu Ningyan was stunned for a moment, then gave a mocking laugh: "This joke is really funny. It is said that the Crimson Flame War God was a first-grade expert a long time ago, while you are only a second-grade expert. Moreover, the Crimson Flame War God is already dead, so how could you be the Crimson Flame War God!"

"Tsk tsk, nobody believes the truth these days," Lu Feng chuckled.

Yu Ningyan rolled her eyes: "You're getting more and more excited as you talk? If you're the Crimson Flame War God, then I'm still the number one swordsman in the world of the First City!"

The greatest swordsman in the world is rumored to be a woman.

She was stunningly beautiful and was known as the Goddess of Swords.

Lu Feng chuckled. If that girl heard him say that, she'd definitely whip him with her sword sheath!

He suppressed his smile: "Tell me, what do you think of my idea?"

Yu Ningyan thought about it carefully and said softly, "Your method is indeed feasible. By falsely claiming that the Crimson Flame Legion saved me, we can intimidate the three kingdoms and give people the feeling that the Crimson Flame Legion is about to make a comeback."

"Secondly, it also implicitly declares that the Crimson Flame Legion is still around, making the three kingdoms hesitant to act rashly against the Qian Kingdom. But how can anyone believe such a thing? Are you really a member of the Crimson Flame Legion?"

"Doesn't it look like it?" Lu Feng asked back.

Yu Ningyan fell silent. Back when the Crimson Flame Legion fought against the Three Kingdoms, everyone was covered in Crimson Flame Iron Armor.

Even if they died in battle, their bodies would be taken away by the rest of the Crimson Flame Army.

Therefore, apart from the members of the Crimson Flame Legion, no one knows what they look like.

Given Lu Feng's profound cultivation level, it's highly possible that he's a member of the Crimson Flame Army.

Thinking of this, Yu Ningyan nodded gently: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, just don't say anything about repaying me with your body." Lu Feng joked.

At this, Yu Ningyan couldn't help but get angry. Looking at the teasing Lu Feng, she said angrily, "Am I that ugly? At least I'm not worse than your fiancée!"

The princess spoke with some grievance and resentment. In Western Chu, she was revered as the most beautiful woman, and the number of men who wanted to marry her could fill the entire palace.

However, Lu Feng repeatedly ignored her, which made her very unhappy.

Lu Feng laughed: "If you're ugly, then there are no beauties in the world."

Hearing this, Yu Ningyan felt a little better, but Lu Feng continued, "However, I have seen someone who is several times more beautiful than you. What a pity."

"boast."

Yu Ningyan snorted. She really didn't believe that there was any beauty in the world who could be several times more beautiful than her.

"If you don't believe me, then so be it."

Lu Feng didn't bother to explain. Looking at her gauze dress stained with blood, he yawned and said, "There's a well in the courtyard and a guest room next to it. You can take care of yourself later. I need to rest."

Yu Ningyan pursed her lips; she definitely needed to clean herself up, covered in blood.

She walked into the yard and looked at the well and buckets next to her. She had never done this kind of work before.

After several attempts, I only managed to fetch one bucket of water, and even then, my palms were rubbed raw.

All she could do was return to the house and watch Lu Feng longingly.

"What?" Lu Feng frowned as he looked at her.

She pursed her lips and said softly, "It's too heavy, I can't lift it."

"trouble!"

Lu Feng got up speechlessly, went to the courtyard, quickly fetched several buckets of water, and carried them to the guest room.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, Yu Ningyan's voice rang out: "The well water is too cold."

"I saved you, and now I have to serve you?!" Lu Feng laughed angrily.

The woman blinked her big eyes and said, "If you're going to do a good deed, do it all the way.

"I really am!"

Enraged, Lu Feng carried water to the kitchen, lit the stove, and started boiling the water. He glanced at her blood-stained dress, told her to stay home and not wander off, and then left.

About ten minutes later, Lu Feng returned with a women's long dress in his hand. He threw it onto the bed in the guest room, poured hot water into the bathtub, and said irritably, "Rest after you're done taking care of yourself. Don't bother me again."

Watching Lu Feng turn and leave, Yu Ningyan raised her fist and gestured. Looking at the blue and white women's dress, she couldn't help but smile, then pouted and said, "At least it's thoughtful."
