Feng Tingliu had a rare good sleep.
Yu Chi Feng's embrace was warm, making him addicted to it. Even when he woke up gradually, he was reluctant to open his eyes. Instead, he buried his head in that solid chest, pretending to be still asleep to get closer.
Yu Chi Feng held his body, conscientiously warming his hands and feet.
Lost and found again, the time is peaceful and beautiful.
However, such a leisurely time didn't last long before it was interrupted by a rustling sound outside the house.
Yu Chi Feng frowned, sat up, tucked the quilt for Feng Tingliu, and got out of bed to check. As soon as he opened the door, he saw several people peeping in the small yard. Among them, Qi Cheng was the most excited, stretching his neck like a turtle begging for food.
Now, their impression of Feng Tingliu has changed, but only a few people have seen what Feng Tingliu looks like. These few people, one by one, excitedly told others about Feng Tingliu's beauty, making others extremely curious!
Who doesn't want to see a beauty!
Especially a beauty who has suffered in prison and looks pitiful!
But before they could see the beauty, they first saw their hall master's black face full of anger.
"City Lord Feng is now an important guest and needs to rest. During this period, no one is allowed to approach the yard!"
"Yes, yes!"
A group of curious turtles scattered in a hubbub, restoring the tranquility of the narrow small yard.
Yu Chi Feng helplessly rubbed his forehead, closed the door properly, and returned to the bedside. Feng Tingliu had completely woken up, leaning against the bedside and looking at his helpless appearance, letting out a couple of soft laughs.
"Did I disturb you?" Yu Chi Feng sat by the bed, held Feng Tingliu's hand, and carefully examined the scars on his wrist. The congestion had faded a bit after yesterday's massage, but it was still terrifying, yet it also made Yu Chi Feng relieved.
That worried appearance was not as fierce as before.
Feng Tingliu didn't answer directly. Instead, he hooked the corner of his mouth and said softly, "Hall Master Yu Chi is very imposing."
"The people of the North Dragon Hall are used to being casual and are difficult to manage." Yu Chi Feng received such praise and felt a bit embarrassed. He scratched his head and his ears turned red.
"But you have managed the North Dragon Hall very well. I heard about your prestige even in prison." Feng Tingliu held Yu Chi Feng's hand in return. Although he couldn't use much strength, he could still gently pat the back of his hand.
"Since City Lord Feng has heard of my prestige, is he willing to do me the honor of cooperating with me?" Yu Chi Feng covered his hand with both hands, rubbing his fingertips.
The ambiguous itchy feeling came from the contact area. The numb hand felt such a touch, causing Feng Tingliu's body to tremble. Feng Tingliu pursed his thin lips, which turned slightly red, and scratched the palm of Yu Chi Feng with his fingertips.
"Cooperating with me is not an easy task. Has Hall Master Yu Chi prepared to pay the price?"
"To make City Lord Feng smile, I am willing to pay any price." Yu Chi Feng smiled, leaned over and kissed his forehead.
The deliberately unfamiliar address became a flirtatious word, and the interaction between the two made their affection grow stronger.
"Are your subordinates aware of your glib tongue?" Feng Tingliu raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Why should they know? It's not for them to hear." Yu Chi Feng climbed onto the bed, hugged Feng Tingliu's waist, and let him lean on himself. This posture was like a wolf protecting its food, tightly holding the person in his arms. With just a lowering of his head, he could bite Feng Tingliu's nape and carry him back to the nest.
"Why? Does Hall Master Yu Chi plan to stay with me and ignore the affairs of the hall?" Feng Tingliu smiled, pinched the back of his hand.
"Just hold for a while, just a moment." Yu Chi Feng lowered his head, buried it in Feng Tingliu's neck, smelled the medicinal fragrance on his body, and gradually calmed down.
When Yu Chi Feng entered the main hall, everyone had been waiting for a long time. But when they saw that Yu Chi Feng came alone, they all showed disappointed expressions.
Yu Chi Feng sat in the main seat and looked at these subordinates with different thoughts, snorted coldly.
Why haven't they been so curious about Feng Tingliu before? As soon as they heard that it was a beauty, they all turned into turtles sticking out their heads?
"I know what you are thinking." Yu Chi Feng said in a deep voice, and the hall immediately became quiet. "City Lord Feng's body has not yet recovered and is not suitable to appear. But the matter of cooperation has been negotiated with him. From now on, the North Dragon Hall and Liudu City only need to cooperate, not be hostile."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room cheered.
Although the North Dragon Hall's impression of Liudu City has reversed, there are still some who are skeptical about this. After all, Liudu City has always been mysterious, and they have to be more cautious.
"But, Hall Master, if Liudu City has other thoughts like the Cold Dragon Hall, how can we protect ourselves..." Someone stood up and asked.
"Well, I know you are still hesitant. During the cooperation with Liudu City, City Lord Feng will stay in the Cold Dragon Hall to recover from his injuries, and no other people from the city will enter. Do you understand this?" Yu Chi Feng's voice was low, deliberately leaving room for everyone's imagination.
The person frowned and thought for a while before suddenly realizing.
On the surface, it is that the City Lord of Liudu City is recovering here. In fact, he is being watched like a hostage! The hall master is really a good strategist! So wise!
"Hall Master is wise! I understand!"
Yu Chi Feng nodded in satisfaction, not feeling guilty at all, looking righteous.
What recovery, what surveillance, are all excuses.
He just wants to stay with Feng Tingliu for a while longer.
"But we need to have frequent contact with the people of Liudu City. This matter needs to be handled by a dedicated person. Yin Cang, you will be responsible for leading the team."
The young man whose name was called looked blank. After a while, he composed himself, straightened his waist and replied, "Yes!"
"Well. Qi Cheng, what is the situation with the Cold Dragon Hall and the Hall Master of the Cold Dragon Hall?" Yu Chi Feng turned to Qi Cheng and asked.
"News from the northeastern region says that the matter of the Cold Dragon Hall colluding with the Demon Cult has spread. Ordinary people are avoiding them. If the wandering martial artists in the martial arts world encounter a lone member of the Cold Dragon Hall, they will attack in the name of eradicating evil for the martial arts world. The people of the Cold Dragon Hall rarely leave their strongholds. But even if they are holed up in the strongholds, there are bold commoners who throw rotten eggs at their gates... Alas, it's really a rapid decline." Qi Cheng said, shaking his head.
"Has it declined so rapidly?" Yu Chi Feng pondered.
"I heard that the high-ranking members of the Cold Dragon Hall have already fled, and their whereabouts are unknown. The rest are actually just some minor soldiers. Some don't even know about the collusion between the Cold Dragon Hall and the Demon Cult and have been implicated. The Evil-Eliminating Society has not taken a stand and has even cut off contact with them."
"Unknown whereabouts?" Yu Chi Feng frowned tightly. "What about the Hall Master of the Cold Dragon Hall?"
"There is no whereabouts for the moment, but I suspect that the Hall Master of the Cold Dragon Hall has taken his trusted followers and gone to the Flame Dragon Hall. Traces were found along the way, but they were quickly lost again."
"Well, continue the search."
One after another, people reported the recent achievements. Except for the still unknown whereabouts of the Hall Master of the Cold Dragon Hall, most of them were good news.
Yu Chi Feng announced the end of the meeting, told Yin Cang the way to meet the people of Liudu City, and entrusted a letter to him.
"When you meet the people of Liudu City, give them this letter first. They will understand when they see the letter. There is a list on the letter, asking them to prepare and send it. And tell them that when City Lord Feng's health improves, we will have a formal meeting between the two sides."
"Yes."
Yin Cang led people to meet with the people of Liudu City, while Yu Chi Feng was rarely free to walk on the bustling streets of Beiji City.
He first went to the clothing store and bought several sets of clothes suitable for Feng Tingliu.
Although these clothes are not as luxurious as those in the Feng Mansion, they are also the top-quality ones in this store. Yu Chi Feng paid the silver generously. When he looked down at the almost empty purse, he felt a pang of pain.
But the things bought for Feng Tingliu must be the best!
"Boss, wrap them all up."
"Okay!" The boss smiled so hard that the flesh on his face trembled. He wrapped up the few most expensive clothes and solemnly handed them to Yu Chi Feng.
After Yu Chi Feng got the clothes, he went into the neighboring pharmacy and bought some soothing incense.
Feng Tingliu's tobacco pipe has long been nowhere to be found. Maybe it was left in the northeastern region, or maybe it was dropped on the way. The new tobacco pipe and tobacco leaves can only be delivered by the people of Liudu City, and these two items are naturally written on the list sent by Yin Cang.
But Yu Chi Feng was afraid that Feng Tingliu would have a headache these two days, so he could only buy some soothing incense as a substitute.
When Yu Chi Feng finished shopping and returned to the North Dragon Hall, his purse was almost empty.
When he returned to his residence and quietly pushed open the door, he saw Feng Tingliu lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully. Yu Chi Feng put the things aside, sat on the bed, and raised his hand to touch the dark circles under Feng Tingliu's eyes.
That Feng Tingliu could sleep peacefully here also showed that he trusted him enough.
Yu Chi Feng smiled gently and leaned over to kiss his young master gently.
When Feng Tingliu woke up, Yu Chi Feng had already prepared hot bath water for him. The bathtub was steaming with a strong medicinal fragrance.
Feng Tingliu remembered the feeling of the heat penetrating into his bones. Also, because he had just woken up and was in a bad mood, he turned over and refused to face it.
"It's too troublesome. Can you bring Yu Ji here?"
Yu Chi Feng smiled helplessly, took him out of the quilt, removed his clothes in a few strokes, and leaned over to kiss his fair nape. This kiss made Feng Tingliu's whole body tremble with itchy feeling, and he glared fiercely.
"This is more gentle. Using the Gu worms is too painful." Yu Chi Feng held him in his arms and gently put him into the bathtub.
"It's me who is in pain, not you... Um!"
Before Feng Tingliu finished speaking, he was kissed by Yu Chi Feng on the lips.
In the steaming heat, Yu Chi Feng pressed him against the wall of the bathtub and kissed him deeply. The medicinal soup in the bathtub rippled, and from time to time, it slapped against the wall, making a series ofCrisp sounds. However, the sounds could not cover the sounds between their lips and teeth.
Feng Tingliu's face turned crimson, whether it was from the medicinal soup or the passionate kiss. He reached out and hooked Yu Chi Feng's neck to prevent his body from slipping into the water. He had difficulty breathing and almost drowned in this kiss.
Yu Chi Feng released the reddened lips at the right time. Seeing the red eyes with moisture, his heart softened immediately, and he buried his face in Feng Tingliu's neck.
Feng Tingliu's hand climbed onto his shoulder, taking deep breaths to recover. Only later did he realize that Yu Chi Feng seemed to especially like holding him like this recently, as if he was afraid that he would leave, just like a big dog with its tail drooping.
" Young master, don't say that..." Yu Chi Feng said in a muffled voice, gently kissing the old scars on Feng Tingliu's shoulder. "The pain is on your body, but it hurts my heart."
Feng Tingliu's eyes were blurred and his expression was trance-like.
He could no longer remember when the scars on his body were left. Maybe it was in the early stage of establishing Liudu City, or maybe it was even earlier. But at this moment, those scars that had already healed and grown flesh itched intensely under the kisses.
The kisses followed the scars one by one, as if to experience his more than twenty years of life one by one, until the scar on his chest - that was the new scar he got in the dungeon.
Feng Tingliu's fingers stroked the back of Yu Chi Feng's head, grasping his hair tightly, and a soft gasp escaped from his thin lips.
...
Yu Chi Feng didn't go too far. Just like yesterday, he comforted Feng Tingliu. But when he fished Feng Tingliu out of the bathtub, Feng Tingliu had already lost his strength and collapsed in his arms.
But the torment for Feng Tingliu was not over yet. There was still a massage with medicinal oil to continue, which made Feng Tingliu extremely impatient and kicked Yu Chi Feng several times fiercely.
However, Feng Tingliu couldn't use much strength now, and those kicks were like a kitten's kicks, without much force.
Feng Tingliu felt that since Yu Chi Feng returned to the North Dragon Hall, he had become more aggressive and pushy. If he wasn't properly educated, he might forget who is the master.
But the massage was itchy and hot, making Feng Tingliu quickly forget what he had just thought, and he gave Yu Chi Feng another kick with a hum.
Yu Chi Feng, who had been kicked several times in a row, didn't dare to speak anymore. He conscientiously massaged the bruises for him.
"I'm almost recovered." Feng Tingliu suddenly said leisurely, hooking Yu Chi Feng's waist with his foot. "It's also time to show up and do some serious business."
"What does the young master mean..."
