Demon Wang's Golden Favorite Fei

“Xia Xue, what’s the matter?” Jin Yu was shocked after he saw Xia Xue’s appearance. Just now, he’d passed by and heard the sound of Xia Xue crying. That was why Jin Yu stopped. Now, after seeing Xia Xue’s face covered with the marks of a whip, he quickly approached to show his concern.
“I’m fine….,” Xia Xue blocked her face and dodged Jin Yu’s eyes, but her hand was grabbed by Jin Yu. “Did he beat you?! Why did he beat you? I will go reason with him!”
Jin Yu grew up with Xia Xue. The two had a good relationship. Plus, the fact that the relation between Jia Lan and Misha was not bad, so, their two subordinates were also very close. Jin Yu regarded Xia Xue as his little sister. Now, seeing that Xia Xue was beaten like this by Misha, Jin Yu was very angry. He wished he could kick Misha’s door and ask him why he did it.
“Jin Yu, no!” Seeing Jin Yu like this, Xia Xue struggled to get herself free. “Jin Yu, I did something wrong. That was why young master punished me. I’m fine. Don’t worry for me!”
“Even if you did something wrong, he shouldn’t have hit you. You’re a girl, ah!” Aside from being angry, Jin Yu had no way to deal with Xia Xue’s plea. It seemed that he should tell sir Jia Lan and let him persuade sir Misha!
It was getting closer and closer to Su Mei’s wedding. Feng Qi Qi had long prepared the wedding dress and jewelleries for her. Xiaoyao wangfu1 was also almost done preparing. The happy matter was approaching, but the worry didn’t reduce from the groom, Wanyan Kang’s face. Because, ever since the time he’d wanted to leave the capital, Feng Qi Qi didn’t let him see Su Mei again.
Feng Qi Qi was angry over his words. Wanyan Kang could understand that. The only thing he didn’t understand was, could it be that Su Mei didn’t miss him even a little bit? Why was it that every time, he made trouble at Tingsong building, Su Mei didn’t come out to see him? Could it be that he wasn’t that important in Su Mei’s heart or was it that Su Mei put the words of that day in her heart and was still angry at him?
Su Mei’s attitude made Wanyan Kang feel like that there was a little monkey jumping in his heart, making his heart very chaotic.
After being messed with by Feng Qi Qi, he understood the questions that had been tangling him these past few days. What about Wanyan Lie? What about the grudges of his father? Those were fleeting. The most crucial thing was marrying his wife and holding her in his arms. That kind of feeling of unable to reach a fruit that hung on a branch was really uncomfortable.
The new emperor ascended the throne and since Wanyan Jie was still a child, Feng Cang put his mind more on the court. Feng Qi Qi said that Feng Cang’s body wasn’t well and to let Wanyan Kang, this Xiaoyao wang2 help him more, forcing Wanyan Kang to go to the morning court everyday and let him begin to care about the affairs of the state.
When he was a prince, Wanyan Kang had always stayed out of things and had an attitude of not caring about the state. However, when he really took over, he was serious as he had never been before. From Wanyan Kang’s point of view, he should let his father’s merits flourish and he should correct the shortcomings of his father.
Although in the past, he didn’t put his heart on the court and this time, he was also forced by Feng Qi Qi to begin to care about the government, but one had to say, in the blood of Wanyan family, there was a natural acumen of authority. Even Feng Cang couldn’t praise Wanyan Kang’s performance enough.
Wanyan Kang’s performance let Feng Qi Qi be slightly more assured. Before, she was worried that a setback (Wanyan Lie’s matter) would lead Wanyan Kang to collapse totally. She didn’t expect that Wanyan Kang’s self-healing ability was so strong.
In the end, this Bei Zhou would be given to Wanyan family. She and Feng Cang didn’t have any ambition to be emperor. Feng Cang had never thought about restoring former Qin and unify the mountains and rivers. Now, he slowly handed the affairs of the court over to Wanyan Kang. It could also be regarded as preparing for their departure in advance.
Unify the mountains and rivers: unify all the countries
Wanyan Kang was at a loss about Su Mei’s matter. Inside Tingsong building, Su Mei and Su Yue looked with a very serious face at the two masters who were opposite them.
“Based on the observation of Xia Xue these few days, Xia Xue and Misha are secretly planning something that’s presumably related to Su Mei’s wedding,” Nalan Xin reported the results of the investigation to Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi.
After hearing this, Feng Qi Qi and Feng Cang exchanged a glance. Both understood the meaning of each other. It seemed that Misha had a very big chance of being the pestering Lian Sheng.
Feng Qi Qi didn’t tell Su Mei and Su Yue about her experience of the previous life in detail. She only said that Misha was searching for the female contestants who’d participated in the tournament of the four countries. Murong Qing Lian had been killed. Bai Yi Yue was attacked. The next ones would be Su Mei and her. Although she didn’t know what the motive of this person was, but Misha must die.
Su Mei and Su Yue didn’t doubt their miss’s words. They had always believed Feng Qi Qi’s words without any reason. This was a trust that came from the bottom of their hearts. Even if she didn’t say the reason, but miss’s words were the imperial edicts. This was a deep-rooted thought of Su Mei, Su Yue and the people of Moyu.
“Miss, since Misha has ideas about the wedding, why don’t we beat him at his own game?! Although Penglai Island’s people are powerful, but after all, here is Bei Zhou. We have more people, a wide intelligence group and a huge network. Could it be that we should be afraid of a very small Misha?!”
When met with an enemy, Su Mei had always been courageous and daring. Not to mention that the other party wanted to disrupt her wedding. How could she not be angry? She didn’t know Misha or Shami? If someone really wanted to disrupt her wedding, if one came, she would kill one. If two came, she would kill a pair.
Su Mei’s words let the atmosphere relax a bit.
Although Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi didn’t explain Misha’s reasons in detail, but from the monitoring of these past few days, whether it was Fo Sheng Men’s or Moyu’s people, they all could feel the importance their two masters had put on this Misha and also their dislike towards him. The hatred especially coming from Feng Cang was more intense.
To them, killing was nothing more than a piece of cake. Wouldn’t it be best to find an opportunity and get rid of Misha?!
However, this proposal was rejected by Feng Qi Qi. If it wasn’t determined that Misha was Lian Sheng, she wouldn’t wilfully slaughter the innocent. If Misha really was Lian Sheng, then it wouldn’t be so easy to kill him.
After all, Feng Qi Qi knew the ability of Lian Sheng very well. Even if his legs were disabled, he couldn’t be underestimated. Moreover, there was still Jia Lan at Misha’s side. That time, at the finals of the tournament, Feng Qi Qi tested Jia Lan. That person was an expert of the experts. He wasn’t easy to deal with. Penglai Island wasn’t undeserved of its reputation!
Feng Qi Qi’s only requirement was to not kill the innocent and neither let their people be lost (die). It would be the best if they could lead Misha to a place and kill him with one shot.
Although Su Mei had high martial arts, but Lian Sheng was full of craft and cunning. With her straightforward personality, she wouldn’t be able to subdue Misha. If something happens to Su Mei, then wouldn’t they have wronged Wanyan Kang? So, Su Mei absolutely couldn’t participate in this matter.
“Su Mei, you would suffer a bit of injustice this time! I fear that your wedding wouldn’t go smoothly! You may not be able to sit on this sedan chair!” Feng Qi Qi’s words already decided that Su Mei would be excluded from this ‘lure into a trap’ action.
Presumably, because she’d heard from Feng Qi Qi’s words that she had been excluded, Su Mei immediately got anxious, “Miss, let me go! Don’t worry, I will take care of myself. Nothing will happen!”
“No!” Feng Cang’s opinion was the same as Feng Qi Qi’s on this matter.
/> Although, Su Mei was Feng Qi Qi’s subordinate, but she was Wanyan Kang’s fiancée. They didn’t know what this Misha would do. They couldn’t let Su Mei take any risks. Even if it was one percent, they couldn’t. After all, Wanyan Kang was his good friend and brother. He couldn’t let Su Mei take any risks with herself.
“But, I’m the most suitable candidate, ah!”
“No, you’re not…,” Feng Cang smiled and got up. He took Su Mei’s wedding dress and draped it around himself. The red wedding dress made the snow white of Feng Cang stand out. It made red cloud reflect on his white as porcelain face. “Only I can go do this thing…”
Feng Cang had long wanted to see Misha and his hand had also been itching greatly. He wanted to personally cut off Misha’s head. From the beginning of the preparation, Feng Cang had already made the decision. He must personally finish Misha! He would absolutely not forgive that person who hurt Feng Qi Qi!
“Cang…,” How could Feng Qi Qi not know Feng Cang’s mood? These past few nights, Feng Cang would hold her tightly as if he was afraid that she would be gone with the wind. Misha had already become a thorn in Feng Cang’s heart. It would be unpleasant if he didn’t get rid of it. From his look, he must have thought about it for a long time.
“Qing Qing, what is the result of me playing the beautiful bride?”
Feng Cang had always loved white. People knew that this man could make wearing white appear like a man and a demon at the same time. They didn’t expect that when he wore red, he became an authentic devil.

“Beautiful, very beautiful…,” Feng Qi Qi looked smilingly at the man in front of her. A devil dressed in red seemed like snow who was tainted in red. The red wrapped around him. Really…a devil who was so beautiful that he would damage a country and cause the suffering to people!
“Then, it’s decided!”
Feng Cang beat time with clappers, so, Feng Qi Qi basically had no time to object.
After the people left, Feng Cang folded the red dress and put it to a side. He came over to hold Feng Qi Qi but discovered that she had a look of concern. Feng Cang smilingly kissed her forehead, “Is Qing Qing worried about me?”
“Cang, Lian Sheng is not easy to deal with…I’m afraid…”
“Is Qing Qing so not confident in me?” Feng Cang held Feng Qi Qi and let her sit on his lap. He pushed the hair on her forehead and revealed Feng Qi Qi’s red mole.
“I just don’t want anything bad to happen. I only have you…”
Feng Qi Qi pasted herself very close to Feng Cang and listened to his heartbeat. Feng Cang’s eyes were firm. She couldn’t stop this matter. If it wasn’t because she was pregnant now, she would personally go and end the grudge between her and Lian Sheng.
“Believe me!”
Feng Cang’s fingers were slender and smooth as jade. At this time, his fingers went gently through Feng Qi Qi’s black hair. The warmth from his hand gradually made Feng Qi Qi set her mind at ease.
“I believe in you! However, that day, I have to be hiding at a close place.” Although Feng Qi Qi said she believed in Feng Cang, but she couldn’t go bet with the person she loved. “I understand Lian Sheng more. If Lian Sheng has any abnormalities, I can warn you in advance. After all, in this world, I’m the person who knows him the best.”
Knowing that Feng Qi Qi was as stubborn as him, the thing she decided won’t change, Feng Cang could only nod and agree, “You should also be careful.”
Feng Qi Qi was a bit surprised that Feng Cang didn’t object. She looked at him and saw that the gentleness was up to the bottom of his eyes. Feng Qi Qi was even more moved. This man truly pampered her to the heavens! That she was going, presumably he would make more preparations!
After being whipped, Xia Xue suddenly became very busy. So busy, that she didn’t even had the time to greet Jin Yu when she passed him. Seeing Xia Xue like this, Jin Yu felt stuffy. Taking advantage that Jia Lan was in a good mood, Jin Yu took the initiative to talk with him about Misha and Xia Xue.
After the last conflict with Misha, there were very few times where Jia Lan and Misha met. It was more that Misha didn’t want to see him. Even if the two lived under the same roof, Misha didn’t want to meet Jia Lan. Usually, he would stay in his room. Misha would take a stroll in the yard only when Jia Lan went out.
That the two originally good friends became like this was something that Jin Yu didn’t want to see. However, he was only a slave and this problem couldn’t be solved with a few words. So, he could only be anxious from watching, but he was powerless.
Now, Xia Xue’s matter was an opportunity. So, Jin Yu told Jia Lan about the day that Xia Xue suffered a whipping and that she was in a hurry and very strange recently. After hearing Jin Yu, Jia Lan was very surprised, “Xia Xue was doing something in secret?”
“Master, do you think I should follow Xia Xue? I’m worried that something will happen to her…”
“Don’t.” Since Jia Lan and Misha had a dispute, he felt vert regrettable and wanted to reconcile with Misha. However, Misha didn’t give him the opportunity. He (MS) had been avoiding him (JL), making it very difficult for Jia Lan. If Jin Yu followed Xia Xue and was discovered, Misha certainly would misunderstand him again. The knot between them may never be solved then.
“If Xia Xue didn’t ask for your help, then, don’t follow her. Xia Xue’s martial arts are equal to yours. If you follow her, you will certainly be discovered. By then, it wouldn’t be good if Misha misunderstood.”
“Yes! This subordinate understands!”
At the other side, Xia Xue returned to Misha’s side. Misha had his back to her. He looked at the bird on the branch outside the window. After a while did he turn and asked Xia Xue, “Everything is ready?”
“Young master, everything is prepared. We only need to wait for the bridal sedan chair to depart from the regent’s residence.”
“Good! Hehe…,” Misha held a blooming peach blossom. He put the flower under his nose, sniffed and revealed a strange expression.
“Young master, if Su Mei isn’t miss Yi Lian, then…”
Xia Xue’s words smashed Misha’s beautiful fantasy into pieces. His right thumb and index finger kneaded the petals and rubbed the petals into pieces. The pieces fell on the ground.
“If she isn’t, then find me the real one. Otherwise, offer your apology with death!”
After hearing Misha, Xia Xue wished she could give herself a slap. How come she had forgotten that young master hated the most when others destroy his beautiful dream. At such an important moment, she actually said things that spoiled everything. Wasn’t this looking for her own death?!
“Get out!” Sensing Xia Xue’s guilt, Misha roared. Xia Xue could only bow and retreat.
After Xia Xue left, Misha was like a deflated ball and went limp in the wheelchair. How could he not know that Xia Xue spoke the truth?! It was just, he didn’t like the feeling of a beautiful dream being broken. Although, he had gone through many defeats and his heart had long become strong, but the feeling of falling from a high mountain into darkness was still so uncomfortable that it made it difficult for people to breathe.
Yi Lian, where are you? Don’t play hide and seek anymore, alright? I beg you…
One, because of his beloved wife wanted to kill Misha. The other, because of love tried very hard to find Yi Lian. It was just, what Misha and Feng Cang didn’t know was that even if everything was prepared, but there was a rule in this world that say, “Planning is with man, accomplishing is with heaven.”
Planning is with man, accomplishing is with heaven: Man proposes but God disposes.
Wanyan Jie ascended the throne. Even if he was just a six-year-old child, but with Feng Cang and Wanyan Kang’s support, no turmoil occurred in Bei Zhou. Those officials didn’t dare to bully Wanyan Jie bec
ause he was young. After all, in the palace, there was the empress dowager. At court, there was regent Feng Cang and Xiaoyao wang1 Wanyan Kang. All of them together was something they couldn’t shake.
After getting to know Feng Cang’s other identity…Long Ao Tian, Dongfang Lan was shocked for a long time. Long was the former Qin’s national surname. Feng Cang’s appearance made her unable not to match his face with an old friend’s and guess the relation between them.
However, Dongfang Lan didn’t think for a long time when Feng Cang generously revealed his identity. After she got to know that Feng Cang is a descendant of former Qin, Dongfang Lan lost her speech for a long time.
Knowing that such a day would come, Feng Qi Qi gave the empress dowager a letter written by Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue before they left. After reading her daughter and her son-in-law’s letter, did Dongfang Lan got to know that this couple lied even to her, their mother.
If it wasn’t because she raised Feng Cang and had deep feelings toward him plus the relationship between Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi, Dongfang Lan would’ve certainly let people take Feng Cang prisoner.
After all, he’s a descendant of former Qin. What if he wanted to restore Great Qin, reconstruct the three separated countries to their previous state and because of this launch endless wars and let the citizens be caught among the fire of the war? Then, what should she do? Although, she had long become indifferent to the power struggles, but Dongfang Lan didn’t want the country to be unstable again. By then, it would be hard on the citizens. The ones who would suffer would also be the citizens.
Dongfang Lan had no requirements on who would take the country. Whether it was Feng Cang or Wanyan Kang becoming the emperor, as long as he showed grace to the people, then he’s a good emperor. This empress dowager who spent the first half of her life on a horseback, in the second half of her life, she had been pondering about the past.
In the past, she instigated Wanyan Zhi to become the emperor himself which resulted in Feng Cang’s home being ruined and he was orphaned. Because of this, Dongfang Lan felt a profound guilt towards Feng Cang.
