Feng Jiuge admitted that she was brimming with mischief. More importantly, the old master still needed her to find a man to placate him.
The reason she had spoken so abruptly was simply that she had discovered Yun Aotian's secret.
So what if he was a formidable person?
Ever since Yun Aotian emerged from that block of ice, he had concealed all aura of energy fluctuation. He was just like an ordinary person; not a trace of the unusual could be seen.
However, when she reached out to hook her arm through his, although he was somewhat repulsed, his body didn't have the slightest strength to resist.
This directly showed that this man had already become a paper tiger.
Her thoughts twisted and turned a thousand times in that instant, yet what slipped from her lips was just such a line. Feng Jiuge raised her eyes and smiled at Yun Aotian, the smile at the corners of her lips blooming like flowers. "What do you say, great hero? Want to give it a little consideration?"
"Husband?" Yun Aotian's resolute brows furrowed slightly. Clearly, a trace of astonishment had appeared on his face because of Feng Jiuge's words. Those handsome, sharp brows rose slightly, looking devastatingly attractive.
"Mm." The roaming smile in Feng Jiuge's eyes deepened even further.
A true dragon and phoenix among men, with absolutely outstanding temperament—truly devastatingly handsome.
Even if this man had completely lost his powers, taking him home and placing him there would still intimidate quite a few people.
Who would have thought Yun Aotian would let out a soft laugh. One large hand shot out to pull Feng Jiuge close before him, an oppressive feeling assaulting her directly. "You like me?"
Feng Jiuge nodded.
She liked the strong, liked handsome men, liked silver, liked treasures... It seemed there were quite a few things she liked. One more Yun Aotian wasn't too many.
Yet Yun Aotian seemed quite satisfied with her answer. Grabbing her hand, he pulled her into his embrace and actually leaned his entire body against her. "I accept your confession. Let me lean on you for a while."
Who confessed?
Feng Jiuge stared blankly for a moment before realizing he was talking about her. In a fit of anger, she wanted to push Yun Aotian away. She didn't expect that with a light use of force, he would actually fall softly backward as if he had no bones.
"Hey! What's wrong with you!" She quickly squatted down to check. Seeing that Yun Aotian was still conscious, Feng Jiuge finally breathed a sigh of relief. "You were so formidable just now. How are you so useless now?"
Mentioning this question was like touching Yun Aotian's taboo. His gaze suddenly turned somewhat grim as he looked toward the sky that was already turning fish-belly white. Only after a long while did he turn his head and speak indifferently to Feng Jiuge. "I will lose my magical powers for a period of time. During this time, I shall have to trouble you, my lady wife, to protect me."
He said this as if it were only natural. Feng Jiuge suddenly felt as though she had made another wrong decision.
Keeping such a dangerous figure by her side and having to protect his safety—if another batch of powerful Purple Zun experts came, it wouldn't just be her. She was afraid even the entire Feng family would be dragged into the calamity.
Yun Aotian had been watching Feng Jiuge without blinking, taking in that trace of hesitation on her face. However, thinking of her actions in the Nine-Nine Return to One Heavenly Origin Formation, his gaze couldn't help softening. "You don't need to worry too much. My people will keep those people in check. Furthermore, now that I have completely lost my magical powers, they cannot sense my aura, so they cannot find me at all."
Feng Jiuge opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but ultimately didn't voice it.
The more one knew of certain things, the earlier one died.
"How about this, great hero..."
"Husband." Yun Aotian frowned, correcting her somewhat displeasedly.
Feng Jiuge couldn't be bothered to argue. "Fine, husband. I need to declare one thing in advance."
