Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter-Chapter 736

In the dark night, the wind rushed backward and poured into Mo Xuetong’s mouth and nose. Her eyes were blurred. Subconsciously, she stretched her arms behind her, held the comer’s waist tightly and buried her head deeply in his arms. Then she let out a breath slowly, her nose full of the scent of a familiar man. As she breathed, his scent heavily enveloped her, which made her feel inexplicably relieved and softened.

The man gave a little chuckle in her ear, and his warm breath fell on her earlobe, making her itch like a feather. “Tong’er, don’t be afraid. It’s me!”

In the satisfied sigh, she felt that his grip on her body was getting tighter.

His voice was mellow and leisurely, like the alcohol that had been brewed for many years and was filled with an intoxicating aura.

There was less noise following him. He landed lightly on a horse in front of him. Then Mo Xuetong was turned around and landed steadily in his embrace.

Mo Xuetong was a little flustered. She rose slightly, bit her lips and said, “Be careful. This is the Yan Kingdom.” Behind her was his passionate embrace. His body seemed to be on fire as if they were going to burn each other to ashes. Her lips subconsciously curled into a smile with a hint of happiness in it.

As expected, he had come here!

She always knew that he would come, and she believed that he would come soon! That was why she dared to adventure and pitted her wits against those people. If there was a person in the world who was a match for Bai Yihao, it should be Feng Yuran, the devilish man. He had planned for so long, how could he be late? Her strong faith in him kept her calm after she was taken away.

When Feng Yuran heard that, he felt a strong sense of belief seeping out from her gentle lips. The smile on his lips grew bigger and he reached over and put his face against her cheek subconsciously. Feeling her soft skin, he whispered with a smile, “Tong’er, are you caring about me?”

Mo Xuetong bit her lips, but still responded softly. He had traveled all the way here and put aside the political affairs while the fight was on the verge of breaking out. Mo Xuetong’s heart felt like being soaked in soft water. She couldn’t help trembling and said sweetly, “Yes…”

Although she knew that he must have planned it well, she was still worried about him. He had come from the Qin Kingdom to the Yan Kingdom regardless of anything. Aside from the fact that King Chu and King Yan were eyeing him with hostility in the Qin Kingdom, the people of the Yan Kingdom would not let him go if they knew that he was here. He was surrounded by enemies from all sides. How could he be so bold that he dared to scheme a trap and appear by her side so quietly?

As he heard her so clearly acknowledge her concern for him, Feng Yuran’s heart almost burst with joy. He suddenly held the reins and held Mo Xuetong tightly in his arms, putting his chin over her hair. His heart was filled with so much delight that he could not suppress it.

Mo Xuetong had always been indifferent and distant, and it was rare for her to show her feelings like this! A charming smile crept across Feng Yuran’s beautiful lips. He was in high spirits as his dark eyes sparkled and his red lips curled up slightly.

“Why did you come just like that?” Mo Xuetong asked in a gentle voice.

“Maybe because I missed you too much. A day without seeing you seems like three years. In this way, it’s been many years. If I can’t see you again, I’ll really want to die,” Feng Yuran said seriously. With his gentle muttering, Mo Xuetong felt as if her entire heart was soaked in honey. It turned out that happiness could be like this. A few warm greetings could cover up the worries, confusion, sadness, and panic of the past days!

He did not even intend to question her, as if she had only been out for a trip. Mo Xuetong curled up in his embrace and sighed as she enjoyed his thoughtfulness.

It was very quiet on the road with only the sound of horse hooves. The moonlight shone through the dense leaves and shattered spots of light fell on Feng Yuran’s handsome face, making it seem as if his whole face was shining. In particular, his dark and bright eyes, which were as bright as black stones, dazzled Mo Xuetong’s eyes.

After a while, Mo Xuetong suddenly looked at the road ahead and asked in confusion, “Where are we going?” It turned out that the road led to the Lan family’s courtyard that she had come one night.

“The Lan family’s courtyard!” Sure enough, a light chuckle sounded behind her. Feng Yuran said jokingly, “Since they invited you to have a look last time, maybe they will be happier this time as we come without their invitation!”

Mo Xuetong’s watery eyes rolled and she understood immediately. However, she pursed her lips and asked intentionally, “How did you know about this place?”

“Of course I went there with you. When the Lan family invited my wife over, how could I rest assured? How could I not go and have a look?” Feng Yuran declared haughtily.

“You’ve found something over there, haven’t you?” Mo Xuetong pursed her lips secretly.

Knowing that he could not hide it from the smart woman, Feng Yuran did not hide anything. He hugged her greedily and smiled, “Since the Lan family has such a precious thing, I have to take a look at it. The ancient witch tribe’s Yuxiao Flower’s ancestral root, it’s something of legend. Since we are here, we can’t miss it.”

“I wonder if the ancestral root of the Yuxiao Flower can really…” Mo Xuetong frowned slightly and asked uneasily in a low voice.

“Of course it can. Bai Yihao’s medical skills are trustworthy,” Feng Yuran answered very naturally. However, Mo Xuetong still sensed the dissatisfaction in his tone. As such, she moved closer to his embrace and comforted him, “No matter what, he wants to treat me!”

“If it hadn’t been for this reason, I would have knocked his teeth out long ago!” Feng Yuran harrumphed coldly. It was for this reason that he had allowed Bai Yihao to take Tong’er away. Of course, the news that Tong’er was seriously ill had spread out to the border by Qin Yufeng.

If not for this reason, he would not have hidden behind her without showing up when he discovered that Mo Xuetong had disappeared! He had planned to suddenly appear to take Tong’er’s away after Bai Yihao removed the poison from her body. However, he did not expect things to change—the Lan family’s intervention had caused Mo Xuetong to have no choice but to leave.

If she did not leave, neither the Lan family nor Bai Yihao’s subordinates could tolerate Tong’er!

Mo Xuetong suddenly thought of the people of the Mo Manor and turned to ask, “Do my father and the others know about this?”

“Don’t worry. I only said that you are ill and recuperating. No one knows about this,” Feng Yuran comforted her in a gentle voice. King Xuan’s Manor was very quiet right now. Everyone in the manor was his people, so he could be relieved to leave.

Even though she knew that Feng Yuran still had other plans, Mo Xuetong still asked worriedly, “Both the two of us are not in the manor. Will something happen?”

“It’s okay. Now our manor is closely guarded. Wang Fu and Shen Kun are guarding it, one in open and the other in the dark. It will be fine.”

“What about the court?” Mo Xuetong was still worried. King Chu, King Yan, and the scheming Imperial Noble Consort Wen were not easy to deal with. The situation in the capital always changed drastically. If he was not in the capital, how to deal with it? Even though Wang Fu and Shen Kun were capable, they were no match for those princes. If they barged in, they would definitely discover that Feng Yuran and she were not around. Then, things would be difficult to deal with!

“It’s not a big deal in court. Father said that it’s good for me to leave for a while so that the two of them wouldn’t stare at me like cross-eyed chickens, and be afraid that I would steal something from them. Now that I’m so sick that I’m about to be disabled, they won’t pay attention to me,” Feng Yuran stated with a cold smile.

“But Imperial Noble Consort Wen…” The government affairs changed rapidly and he was far away, It was impossible for him to think about everything carefully. King Yan’s overall strength could not be compared with King Chu’s. If King Chu took the lead in the whole court, it would be extremely unfavorable for Feng Yuran.

Besides, Imperial Noble Consort Wen would never behave herself in the harem.

“There’s no but. Why are you having so many questions at such a young age? Don’t worry, I know you are worried about me. But is your husband so useless that he can’t even do such a small thing?” Feng Yuran held her in his arms helplessly and jumped off the horse, a trace of cunning coldness flashing in his eyes. Of course, he had his own way to deal with Imperial Noble Consort Wen. Otherwise, that woman would be much more restless than Feng Yuxuan and Feng Yulei.

He called rebellion as a small thing. Mo Xuetong was speechless. Looking at the surroundings, she found that they had arrived at the back of a wall. There was no door on both sides. A red flower stuck out of the wall. It looked like a garden. Could it be the backyard of the Lan family’s courtyard?

“Hold me tight!” Feng Yuran reached out to hold her in his arms. His eyes were beautiful and his smile was devilish. His kiss landed gently on her forehead, just like a feather that had swept across her heart. It was soft and smooth. Mo Xuetong’s face flushed red, but she still reached out, wrapped her arms around his neck obediently and leaned her head against his chest.

Her look of whole-hearted trust made the smile on Feng Yuran’s lips brighter. With a smile in his eyes, he held Mo Xuetong in his arms and jumped onto the top of the wall lightly. Then, he jumped down from the other side. When he jumped down, Mo Xuetong keenly saw several dark figures jumping over from one side. Knowing that his secret guards were also there, she felt a little relieved.

“Will the Lan family place that ancestral root in an inconspicuous courtyard?” Mo Xuetong lowered her voice and allowed Feng Yuran to hold her hand carefully while they were moving forward. She did not believe that such a precious treasure would not be placed in the main residence of the Lan family.

“The most dangerous, inconspicuous place is the safest one,” Feng Yuran said with a casual smile. He brought Mo Xuetong through the branches in the courtyard deftly. The trees here were lusher than usual. The whole place was not like a back garden, but more like a natural forest.

Mo Xuetong suddenly looked up and found that the trees here were also very tall and straight. A few flowering trees gaily screened half the moonlight from the sky. She suddenly thought of something. “Is it related to the ancestral root of the Yuxiao Flower?”

“It is said that the ancestral root of the Yuxiao Flower is particularly beneficial to plants. The trees near the Yuxiao Flower are particularly luxuriant. We will be able to find the ancestral root of the Yuxiao Flower when we go to the lushest place,” Feng Yuran said softly with a smile.

Mo Xuetong looked up and asked in confusion, “How do you know so much?”

Although Feng Yuran, whom she knew, was very shrewd and had always liked to pretend to be weak to defeat the stronger people, and was scheming, he was definitely not a particularly knowledgeable and talented person.

“I have read many books, so I know!” Feng Yuran answered without blushing.

Mo Xuetong did not believe it and pursued, “What books have you read?” Even in her previous life, the rare books that she had gotten had only mentioned a general idea of the Yuxiao Flower. How could Feng Yuran know it so detailed? Such a book was more likely to be read by that person.

“Tong’er, you don’t believe me!” Feng Yuran felt wronged and looked at Mo Xuetong with a pair of beautiful eyes filled with resentment. They shone in the moonlight, making him look devilishly charming.

Of course, he would not tell Mo Xuetong that it was Qin Yufeng who told him this.

Speechless, Mo Xuetong rolled her eyes at him. She was about to speak when she suddenly heard someone yelling, “Who, who is it?”

Feng Yuran quickly picked up Mo Xuetong. With a flash, his figure landed on a tree on one side.

The light and fire instantly lit up the corner where they had been standing just now. A dozen of large torches suddenly appeared. If Mo Xuetong had not seen these torches just now, she would have suspected that they had been there all the time!

They came so quickly!

This was especially so when she saw the person at the head. The calmness on Mo Xuetong’s face was broken. She looked surprised. “Why is he still here?”
