If I send you to join the army and marry a woman, will you conquer the Empress?

The soft, jade-like body in his arms, carrying a faint, virginal fragrance, made Qin Feng stiffen.

Qin Feng froze completely.

He was neither a clueless blockhead nor a virtuous man who could remain unmoved even with a woman in his lap.

It would be a lie to say that I had no thoughts about such a stunning beauty throwing herself into my arms.

But he knew even more clearly that the woman in his arms was Xia Fuyao, the most noble princess of the Great Xia Dynasty!

If I dare to do something reckless, then I'm just asking for trouble!

Qin Feng wanted to push her away, but he was afraid of waking her, so he was unable to move...

Unexpectedly, he hesitated.

Xia Yingtai, however, went even further, as if she had found a comfortable pillow, and snuggled into his arms, even unconsciously draping one leg over his body.

This……

Qin Feng hunched over, feeling his mouth and throat dry.

This is hardly a "benefit".

This is pure torture!

It was even more agonizing than fighting the assassin leader for three hundred rounds!

……

I don't know how much time passed.

As dawn broke, the rain gradually subsided.

A sliver of morning light shone through the cave entrance.

Xia Yingtai's long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly awoke from her deep sleep.

She felt warm and comfortable all over, and subconsciously rubbed against him.

Ok?

Why does this "pillow" still feel so hot?

She opened her eyes groggily.

A handsome face came into view, right up close.

She jolted awake and suddenly came to her senses!

She... was actually curled up in a man's arms!

"ah!!!"

A scream loud enough to pierce eardrums echoed through the cave.

Xia Yingtai, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly sprang away from Qin Feng's embrace, clutching her chest tightly with both hands.

Qin Feng was awakened by her shout and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"Brother Xia, what's all that yelling about so early in the morning?"

"You...I...we...what's going on?!"

Xia Yingtai's cheeks were so red they looked like they could bleed, and she pointed at Qin Feng, unable to speak coherently.

"Brother Xia, have you forgotten?"

Qin Feng yawned and explained calmly, "It was so cold in the cave last night that you were shivering in your sleep and kept snuggling up to me."

"I was afraid you'd catch a cold and get sick, but I didn't want to push you away, so I just made do for one night."

He shrugged, looking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"We are sworn brothers, bound by life and death. This little matter is nothing to worry about. It's just a temporary measure, Brother Xia, you don't need to take it to heart."

Xia Yingtai was stunned upon hearing this.

She thought about it carefully, and it seemed that... she did feel cold and deliberately sought out a heat source to lean against.

So, I misunderstood him?

Xia Yingtai's cheeks flushed even redder in an instant.

First, Qin Feng touched her foot, then he sucked the snake venom from her thigh with his mouth...

Now, she snuggled into his arms again and slept in his embrace all night!

If this gets out, how will she face anyone?

Finished!

My innocence is completely gone!

The more she thought about it, the more ashamed and angry she became, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Qin Feng's nonchalant attitude, as if he genuinely considered her a "good brother," made her feel uneasy.

"Brother Qin, you have saved my life time and time again. I can never repay such a great kindness! How about I betroth my sister to you?"

"this……"

A hint of hesitation appeared on Qin Feng's face.

Seeing his appearance, Xia Yingtai felt a surge of shame, anger, and grievance.

He actually refused?

Am I, this princess, not good enough for you?

"What? Brother Qin, do you look down on my sister?"

Her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, carrying a hint of accusation.

"No, no, no, Brother Xia, you've misunderstood!"

Qin Feng quickly waved his hand and explained with a wry smile, "Brother Xia, you have an extraordinary bearing, you must come from a prestigious family. Your sister must also be a lady of noble birth."

"As for me... although I am the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor, my family has fallen on hard times, and I have neither official rank nor title. How could I be worthy of your sister? I'm afraid I'm not good enough for her!"

That's it!

Xia Yingtai's anger dissipated almost entirely, turning into a sweet feeling.

He wasn't being disdainful; he was thinking of himself.

"Brother Qin, you're overthinking it."

She immediately said, "My elders value talent and potential more than family background."

"Brother Qin, you are skilled in both literature and martial arts. If you can win first place in the upcoming literary and martial arts examinations, your future will be limitless. Who will dare to look down on you then?"

"It's only natural that my sister would marry you; it's a match made in heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng pretended to be persuaded and nodded solemnly.

"Since Brother Xia and your family don't mind, it would be presumptuous of me to refuse again!"

"I agree to this marriage!"

it is good!

When Xia Yingtai saw that he had agreed, she felt a surge of secret joy and sweetness in her heart for some reason.

Qin Feng, however, was secretly overjoyed.

Become!

Although she already had three beautiful wives in her home: Bai Wanqing and the Shangguan sisters.

However, the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty already permitted having three wives and four concubines.

What's more, this is none other than the current eldest princess, Xia Fuyao!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's the most beautiful woman in the Great Xia Dynasty!

Moreover, she is the emperor's most beloved daughter. If I can get close to her, wouldn't my future be smooth sailing?

At that time, let alone the mere Left Prime Minister Yun family, even if they wanted to stir up trouble in the court, it wouldn't be impossible!

A gigolo?

Even dogs don't—

eat!

He's just a kept man!

Really fragrant!
