Arc 2.10 Zu Tian

"The spring hunt is finally here!"

"It is!"

"Stop talking and quickly help around! There are lots of work to do than running your mouth!"

It was finally spring and the awaited spring hunt awaited by all was finally here.

Palace guards and palace maids were busy as they thoroughly and quickly did their own jobs for that day. Since yesterday, everyone had been busy preparing.

So busy that they were more busy than the ants and bees working all day.

Finally, it was finally the day awaited by all.

Spring hunt!

Oh, the spring hunt is finally here.

All preparations are finally set, finalize, and ready to set.

Spring hunt should be a happy day where they compete for some game but this spring hunt is bound to be the same as the previous one and the previous of that.

Than hunting for some wild animals, the one being hunted would be the emperor.

Spring hunt was the perfect assassination day for any assassin because the spring hunt is the time of the day that the emperor would be out of the palace with just a few guards.

"Lian'er, I trust you."

Two bodies intertwined in a dimly lit room hug each other in a tight embrace. Each saying sweet nothings in each other's ears.

Pant~

"Crown Prince, you can trust me. I will not disappoint you." Qi LianLian sweetly smiled at Chen Mo hugging him in the process.

For the man that he loves, he would do anything for him.

Poisoning the emperor is nothing compared to getting his heart.

Hearing what she said, Chen Mo's eyes darkened as dark as it could be.

The smile on his lips could not be hidden as it grew wider and crazier.

Good thing that Qi LianLian was hugging him so she could not see that crazy smile of his.

If she only saw it, she would have a second thought about helping him.

"Lian'er, don't worry. After all of this is done, I will definitely marry you and make you my empress. I love you, Lian'er."

Kissing her lips, Chen Mo continued their intimate exercise. He thrusted roughly inside of her.

"Ah! C-Crown Pri-nce, Lian'er also loves you~"

Unknown to the adulterous couple, a certain someone was listening to their evil plan while laughing at how idiotic they were.

[Host, do you know that your "favored" concubine is adding another green hat for you to wear?] Xiao Xiao snickered.

"Another green hat?"

Looking at Feng Niao cutely sleeping beside him, Zu Tian couldn't care less about what was happening on the other side.

"They can add a thousand green hats on my head, I don't care. All that I need is right here beside me."

Embracing the sleeping man, Zu Tian stole a kiss from his already bruised lips that he had sucked and bitten just a few hours ago.

Is it one or two?

Watching its host harassing the sleeping Feng Niao, the System just rolled its eyes knowing that his place in his Host's heart had already been replaced by Feng Niao.

It hurts a little but seeing its Host happy and enjoying himself with Feng Niao, the System would not have it any other way.

It is happy seeing its Host happy.

[It had been a long time.]

"A'Feng, you are going with me, right?" Zu Tian asked while clinging to Feng Niao like a leech.

"I.....mmhh~"

"Please~"

Biting Feng Niao's ears which was his soft spot, Zu Tian reach out his naughty hands inside Feng Niao's clothes but before it got any further Feng Niao grab his hand.

"F-Fine, I'll go!"

Feng Niao almost screamed out loud at Zu Tian.

He was flustered and blushing red as he tried to get away from the sly fox's embrace.

Seeing his beloved's face turn red just like a bright tomato, Zu Tian laughed out loud and hug him tightly feeling so happy.

Feng Niao's every expression is just too cute that he can't just get enough or gets tired of it.

Spending time with Feng Niao these past few months somehow made Zu Tian realize just how lonely it had been for him these past few hundred of years world hopping alone in the neverending worlds.

Somehow he began asking himself, why him?

Why is he still world-hopping though he already got what he wanted?

What is he searching for?

Or is he even searching for something?

Spending time with Feng Niao really made him happy.

He also treats him sincerely because Feng Niao is true to him.

But thinking that he will leave him one day and that he will once again continue to world hop alone again, he felt lonely.

He is sure that Feng Niao's presence would not be erased within his mind even after many worlds just like.... just like that person.

Though Feng Niao can't replace him, having Feng Niao by his side still makes him happy.

So happy that it actually scares him a little.

That Feng Niao might occupy more of his heart.

He can't let it happen.

He will make him happy but he won't let him stay in his heart.

He does not want to get hurt again.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Zu Tian's frown, Feng Niao grew worried about him.

This is the first time Feng Niao had seen Zu Tian frown like this like it is the end of the world.

It was new to him because no matter how frustrated or angry he was he never frown as he does now.

Somewhat it's scaring the hell out of him.

"Tian? Is something wrong?" Feng Niao asked again.

This time, he called out to him a little softly as if he was afraid that Zu Tian might get scared of his voice so he slowly and softly called out to him like he was trying to coax an unhappy child.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Zu Tian looked at Feng Niao.

The moment he looked at him their eyes clashed.

'It was that kind of familiar feeling again.'

"Tian?"

Seeing him still not responding, Feng Niao reach out his hand and touch his face, and eagerly looked him in the eye.

"Tian...."

'I must be so stressed out...'

Sighing, Zu Tian smiled at Feng Niao knowing that the other is worried about him.

"Are you okay?" Feng Niao asked worried.

Though Feng Niai was smiling at him, he could feel that something was weighing in the other's mind.

"I'm fine. Don't worry."
