Chapter Four: The Convicted Woman of Severe Crimes

Hearing Feng Shang’s words truly angered Mao Xuanzi, yet Feng Shang had vanished without a trace. Suppressing his rage, Mao Xuanzi donned his daughter’s attire and stepped out of the inn to search for Feng Shang’s whereabouts. Outside, he overheard a commotion—a man had trespassed into the Daughter Kingdom and was now captured.

Rushing toward the scene, Mao Xuanzi was unsurprised to find the man was none other than Feng Shang, who had already lost consciousness. Several fierce women were carrying him toward the queen’s palace.

Mao Xuanzi intended to intervene, but a firm grip stopped his hand. Turning around, he saw a woman in white. She cast a cold glance at him and said softly, “I know the abilities each of you possess. In the Daughter Kingdom, those powers are not enough.”

Hearing this, Mao Xuanzi withdrew his hand and whispered, “Do you have any way to save Feng Shang?”

The woman shook her head. “At this moment, there is no good solution. Let us return to the inn and plan carefully. Now is no time for rash actions.”

Following the woman in white, Mao Xuanzi returned to the inn where Han Tianyue and Fang Zhe had already arrived. Seeing Mao Xuanzi, they asked anxiously, “Was the man the one they said—Feng Shang?”

Mao Xuanzi nodded.

Fang Zhe was irritated. “Feng Shang only knows how to cause trouble. What shall we do now?” In truth, Han Tianyue and Fang Zhe had gone out earlier to assess the Daughter Kingdom’s strength. Though it was ruled entirely by women, the kingdom was martial in nature, and it was almost impossible for the four of them to confront an entire nation.

The woman in white spoke, “The queen’s sudden death has diverted the people’s attention to her funeral and the selection of the new queen. As for Feng Shang, he is safe for the time being.”

Her words were undeniably true. Though Feng Shang had been drugged, he soon regained consciousness, only to find himself confined with a woman in scant clothing, marked by brutal torture.

Because the Daughter Kingdom had no men’s prisons, Feng Shang was placed alongside a hardened female prisoner. Despite her suffering, her eyes burned bright with intensity. As Feng Shang admired every inch of her body, her gaze struck him like lightning, sending a chill down his spine.

He shivered inwardly, thinking, “This woman’s eyes are too fierce. Better to be cautious.”

Yet the prisoner’s fiery and revealing figure proved difficult for Feng Shang to resist.

Standing, he approached and helped her to her feet, asking with concern, “How are you feeling?” In the process, his hand inadvertently brushed against her rear.

A sudden wave of ecstasy washed over Feng Shang, as if he were floating on air, smoke seeming to rise from his body.

The prisoner shoved him forcefully, and Feng Shang collapsed to the ground, smoke billowing from his body, mouth, nose, ears, eyes, and every orifice.

After pushing him down, the woman fell back onto the floor herself, her eyes still blazing with fierce vitality.

Seeking goldI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
