Chapter 492 Extra: Mu Feng (7)
"You are hurt." Mu Feng's eyes showed concern.
Only then did Chu Xing feel the pain.
Mu Feng looked around and found that this was a closed valley.
It was foggy today and it was already dark, so even if his subordinates came, they would have to wait until tomorrow.
"I'll go find some herbs for you, you wait here."
Chu Xing sprained her ankle and couldn't walk. She said in a very low voice, "Don't go too far."
"Yeah, I'll be back soon."
A quarter of an hour later, Mu Feng came back. Just as he put down the herbs and wild fruits he brought back, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a poisonous snake behind Chu Xing.
Chu Xing hadn't realized the danger yet. The moment the venomous snake stretched out its tongue, Mu Feng pushed Chu Xing away and kicked the venomous snake away.
The poisonous snake attacked again, and Mu Feng pinched the snake's vital point. The poisonous snake struggled violently and bit Mu Feng's shoulder.
Chu Xing picked up the stick on the ground, and she suppressed her fear and hit the venomous snake with all her might, "Let him go!"
Mu Feng strangled the venomous snake to death. Seeing Chu Xing beating the venomous snake with his eyes closed, he smiled instantly, "Open your eyes, it's dead."
Chu Xing opened her eyes, her hair standing on end with fear. Seeing that she was scared, Mu Feng picked up the poisonous snake with a stick and threw it into the bushes.
Mu Feng sat down, turned sideways, opened his collar and looked at the teeth marks left by the venomous snake. Chu Xing suddenly appeared, held his arm, and his soft lips were already covering his shoulder.
Mu Feng's whole body was tense, and Chu Xing was actually sucking out the venom for him.
"Chu Xing, no." Mu Feng pushed her away.
Chu Xing spat out the venom in his mouth and lay on Mu Feng’s shoulder again to inhale the poison.
"You will be poisoned." Mu Feng pushed her away again.
Chu Xing said nothing and continued to help Mu Feng suck out the venom from his body.
Mu Feng knew that she might be poisoned when she sucked out the venom for the first time. It was useless to stop her now, so he stopped trying.
Only when the blood turned bright red did Chu Xing limp to the river to rinse his mouth.
Mu Feng's eyes were full of admiration, "I apologize to you. I shouldn't have called you a delicate princess. At this moment, you are like a warrior."
Chu Xing raised his eyes and looked at him, "If I die, will you remember me?"
Mu Feng was stunned. Silly girl, he was not worthy.
Seeing Chu Xing shivering from the cold, he walked up and said, "Princess, I'm sorry."
Chu Xing's body suddenly felt lighter and Mu Feng picked her up.
Chu Xing's cheeks were flushed, and she put her face against Mu Feng's chest, not daring to look at him.
The two soon arrived at a cave.
Mu Feng made a fire, crushed the herbs, applied the medicine on Chu Xing's wound, then took off her shoes and socks with his hands, and pressed his calloused hands on Chu Xing's ankles.
Chu Xing's ears turned red as she looked at Mu Feng, who was rubbing her ankle gently with his eyes downcast.
The thin calluses on his hands rubbed against her skin, and Chu Xing's cheeks began to heat up.
Mu Feng pressed his hand on Chu Xing's smooth skin, his eyes full of heartache.
Why is this girl's body so cold? He took off his coat, dried it over the fire, and then put it on Chu Xing.
Mu Feng's muscular body entered Chu Xing's sight through his thin inner clothes. She avoided looking at him.
"Tonight, Princess Seventh, please stay in the cave. I will find a way to get you out tomorrow."
Chu Xing nodded shyly.
Although Chu Xing slept uneasily that night, he felt very at ease.
Because Mu Feng stayed at the entrance of the cave and guarded her for a whole night.
In the morning, Mu Feng looked at her and said solemnly: "Princess, if you are willing, I, Mu Feng, will marry you."
Chu Xing was pleasantly surprised to hear that Mu Feng was willing to marry her, and then she asked, "General Mu, are you marrying me because we spent a night together in the valley, or because I helped you suck out the venom?"
Mu Feng lowered his eyes, "You are a princess, your reputation must not be damaged."
Chu Xing was heartbroken when he heard what Mu Feng said.
It turns out that Mu Feng didn't marry her because he liked her.
It's because of her reputation.
Seeing her sad, Mu Feng said in a low and anxious voice, "Chu Xing, my heart is in turmoil. I don't know what my feelings for you are."
Chu Xing's tears welled up in her eyes. "Don't make things difficult for General Mu. Nothing has happened between us. You don't have to be like this."
Mu Feng wanted to explain, but suddenly, the voice of Lieutenant General Zhang came from outside.
"Princess! General!"
Chu Xing limped out and waved to Deputy General Zhang, "Here!"
Mu Feng stood up and watched Chu Xing walk towards Lieutenant General Zhang.
After they left the valley, Chu Xing never spoke to him again.
Ten days later, Chu Xing went down the mountain.
The project was completed and Mu Feng also went down the mountain.
Marquis Jingyang happily found Chu Li and asked for Princess Chu Xing's hand in marriage on behalf of Mu Feng.
Chu Li had long guessed that the two would definitely be together, so he happily agreed.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xing found her.
"Royal sister, I don't want to marry Mu Feng."
Chu Li's face was full of surprise. What was going on? Now Mu Feng wanted to marry, but Chu Xing didn't want to?
"Why?" Chu Li was curious. She always felt that Chu Xing had suddenly grown up in the past few months.
Chu Xing said with a firm look in his eyes: "Sister, he is a general of the Great Chu. If he marries me, he can only be a prince consort. I shouldn't be so selfish."
Chu Li smiled, "What do I think? Just marry Mu Feng with peace of mind. His military power is still in his hands and will not be affected."
Chu Xing's eyes lit up, then became disappointed, "But he doesn't like me, and I don't want to force him."
"If he doesn't like you, how could he let Marquis Jingyang come to ask for your hand in marriage?" Chu Li walked to Chu Xing's side, "Silly sister, be more confident."
Chu Xing shook his head, "He really doesn't like me."
Chu Li looked at her lost back and sighed: Mu Feng is a straight man, who knows what he will say to make Chu Xing sad again.
Chu Xing was relaxing alone in the Imperial Garden when suddenly, someone pulled her behind the rockery.
Chu Xing was just about to kick Lecher, but when he looked up he saw Mu Feng.
Mu Feng grabbed her ankle and broke out in a cold sweat. Chu Xing's kick almost hit her vitals. Chu Xing's self-defense skills were well-trained, but were almost ruined by him.
"Let me go. I won't marry you." Chu Xing didn't dare to look at him.
"Why don't you want to marry me?" Mu Feng stared into her eyes.
"I don't like you anymore." Chu Xing said against his will.
"Chu Xing, I don't want to marry you because of your reputation, it's because I, Mu Feng, like you."
Mu Feng pressed her hand against his chest, and Chu Xing heard Mu Feng's violent heartbeat.
Mu Feng's heart beats so fast, does he like her?
"I, Mu Feng, have nothing. Will you marry me?" Mu Feng leaned over and asked her. Chu Xing ignored him. He was going crazy these days.
Chu Xing stared at him in a daze. After a moment, she said proudly, "Who said that? You have military merits and you are upright. You are the hero in Xing'er's heart."
Mu Feng's eyes trembled, he held her in his arms and kissed her hair, "Chu Xing, will you marry me?"
Chu Xing was held in his arms, feeling warm and safe.
She smiled brightly, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "Mu Feng, I do."
Mu Feng raised a happy smile at the corner of his lips and hugged Chu Xing tightly in his arms.
It turns out that Chu Xing is his destined person.
