Spring time!

"Sister Xu!"

"y-yes young lady?"

"ha! since the second brother gave his show. Your head has been on the clouds," said the tomboyish Zhang Ru with a smirk

"It's not that. Young miss, please be careful with your words I'm an engaged woman." Mei Xu said with a strict expression

"Are you talking about that scum from the Fu clan? The drunkard that raped you and took your dignity than after proposing the engagement had not come to see you even once?. If it was me I'd probably put the green hat on him thousands of times, then I'd run away, no. Wait, you're different, you love my brother so you should just go for it it's worth for a man like my second brother. Did you see him today? He was on fire!

slapping the high priest on the face and almost crippling Yang Ruang.

Ah!, I almost forgot I have to talk to mom I wanna go with brother!

You can go ahead sister Xu!" said Zhang Ru running like the wind.

Today Mei Xu 's head was in turmoil. In the morning the young master that She always look up to, and admired woke up.

And strangely enough contrary to his timid and always in a daze look.

Today he was as confident as a bull. He was already hardworking and talented with his mind he even improved the clan's condition just by changing some small things, but now with such confident air around him, It's like seeing a tiger grow wings.

'And that same young master kissed me and told he would make my life better.'

'But it's impossible for me!' She thought while drying the tears in the corner of her eyes

I'll meet the young master, and tell him to stop. we shouldn't be that close.

"What did you think about today?" asked the eldest princess Ming Yunque to the little prince.

"That Zhang Li is too lawless he even dared to put the emperor in his speech, and he even questioned the church so publicly has he no morals? I think the father should punish him! "

*slap* "Ouch! Elder sister what are you doing!"

After giving the little prick a slap in the head, with a sternly stared at him

"stupid. that's not important, though the youngest you're still a prince if you do not see between the politics behind the actions you'll always be making decisions while blind. Now tell me, from all that happened there, what do you think is important?.

"b-but think about these things isn't it imperial father's duty?"

"do it!"

"ouch" With wet eyes, the young prince tries to remember everything the passed through.

"Ugh, Zhang Li questioned the church in front of every person in there so the word will spread throughout the whole city, the church will probably make some event to keep the people in order.

Also though Zhang Li Made that stupid story up.The fact he has a plan That will involve the people is no lie.

And there's also the eldest of the Zhang clan after elder sister answered Zhang Li 's question, he couldn't keep his eyes off sister so maybe they'll propose a marriage ?" the little prince said looking at his sister with upturned eyes

Yunque squinted her eyes "Outstanding first and second guess, but the third is barely passable. Zhang Wei was examining me Just as I was to him

"So when sister was ogling him you were observing too?"

"OUCH"

"what ogling ?"

"I'm sorry"

"humpf"

---

"What did you two planned? "

Zhang Xie sighs as he glances at the beauty in front of him.

"wife I had no idea, what he was going to do today"

Murong Xia angrily slapped the small table in between them

"Lies! you and he were in sync there! and his request, don't tell me you accepted his request at the spur moment! "

"But I barely said anything the whole time. and I just agreed because I knew he was going regardless "

"Humpf he didn't need to say anything. yet you understood him you both are too alike. I wanna see if -"

"MOTHER!!" suddenly invading the small courtyard Zhang Ru announced

"I will go along the second brother! think about it as me helping him on his mage cultivation!"

"No way you're a child! out of the gates are too dangerous for you."

"Even more of a reason! the second brother still in his low-level cultivation, he can't defend himself!"

"You can only go if your brother allow's you to go"

"Thank you, father!" "Zhang Xie!"

"haaa" ignoring the two red-haired beauty and sighing Zhang Xie though to himself " you better know what are you doing brat."

After separating from Zhang Ru, Mei Xu went directly to her courtyard.

It was slightly dark, the tournament took 4 hours to end it's around seven in the night. Mei Xu couldn't help but worry about meeting young master at this hour, they both alone by the lake . and differently from the other courtyard's lake, Zhang Ru's lake is more of a hot spring so the place is closed around, making it a foggy place. Her heart started beating faster.

Reaching the place after passing the slightly far away, main bedroom looking at the gate Mei Xu took a deep breath, after steeling herself. she changed into a bathrobe, so her clothes don't get humid, Then she enters the lake area.

It's impossible to look more than a few meters ahead due to the steam, after looking at the lake and not founding him she called out.

"young master?"

"I had the feeling sister Xu wouldn't come, so I got anxious.

but now ...now I'm relieved."

fallowing the voice Mei Xu looked in the sole tall tree beside the lake. the steam was moving so sometimes she could see clearly the figure of the white scholar robe he was wearing this noon, getting a little more closely. she spoke loud and clear.

"What Young master did this morning was extremely inappropriate! I'm an engaged woman. the Fu clan might take me to marry any day now. What if somebody saw? my reputation would be tarnished and I'd probably be hanged or live a life worse than death! so young master please should not do something like that again!"

It took her all, to say this. she thought on how to say it since the kiss in the morning, now imperceptibly trembling she gaze at the man leaning on the tree.

Zhang Li gave an evil smirk

"What? I'm sorry I couldn't hear. sister Xu, please come closer."

Dumbfounded with her young master's shamelessness she gathers her remaining energy to object

"Young master, please! You're a medium 2 martial artist even if I was 10 meters away you could still hear my breathing.

This time Zhang Li didn't smile he looked at her and said calmly

"I'll only hear it if you come closer."

Looking at the calm eyes, she trembled, she knows how weak she'll be looking at him up close. but she wanted to hear him nonetheless"

locking gaze with him, she approaches until she's a step away from him. And with much less resolve, looking everywhere but his face, she almost whispers

"Y-Young master shouldn't do that again othe-"

with a step, his chest almost touches her nose

"Why?"

flushed and anxious she clenched her teeth and with slightly red eyes stared at him intensely

"Because I'm already another man's woman!

because I'm already tarnished!

looking at this woman's eyes he wonders

'this woman...is just like a puppy. she's influenced purely by her emotions. So silly'

He kissed her again and said calmly

"So what if you're not a virgin?" hugging her strongly he whisper in her ears

" I wouldn't matter even if you were already married and have twenty children. I'd still seduce you and bring you to whatever place I may go. So the only thing holding you back girl. is your answer. should you say yes, I'll shoulder every consequence and make you mine! Should you say no, I'll never get too close to you again. now" He released her and at one step distance asked.

"Will you come with me tomorrow?"

Red-eyed and anxious. confused by everything.]she thinks 'wasn't he supposed to be disgusted that I am tarnished? weren't I suppose to be with a man all my life?

people will talk, will he really take care of everything?

she suddenly recalled this morning, the confident man that woke up and kissed her. She thought about how the same man shamed the high priest of the church openly, and how he defeated a strong mage today, with a medium martial arts and low-level elemental manipulation.

"do you really don't mind my situation? will young master really take me? "

Zhang Li didn't answer he just happily smiled and deeply kissed her passing his hands through her waist and said. "you're mine now"

unfastening her hairband he nibbles her neck."y-young master, the young lady may come in anytime

"she's seventeen, old enough to know not to disturb us"

"b-but "

Suddenly lifting her up by the root of the leg he spoke with malice "You wanted proof that I'll take care of you. right?"

moving while saying he undid the front of her bathrobe he raised her body slightly above his head and put her against the tree behind

"W-w-what are you doing young master!?"

He said with an evil smile "I'll show you the wonders of an evolved civilization, you better grip a branch so you don't fall"

then with his mouth, invaded her intimate valley

And they warred the whole night through.
