Profound Feelings

Feng Yu Heng ran up to the second floor of the pharmacy and ran back down a short while later. When she returned, she was holding a strange thing in her hands. It looked like clothing; however, the sleeves only went halfway and were very short. It was black, and the material could not be determined.

Xuan Tian Ming knew that she had many strange things, but he had truly never seen this before. He could not help but ask: “What is this?”

Feng Yu Heng had a sly smile and lay the item flat on the treasures. She then handed a dagger over to Xuan Tian Ming: “Stab at this. Use as much strength as you have and try it.”

Xuan Tian Ming was puzzled, “Then would it not be ruined?”

“It’s fine. Just stab it. Just try it. Use as much strength as you have. Also, use your inner strength.”

Xuan Tian Ming frowned from hearing this; however, he still did as Feng Yu Heng said, raising the dagger, but he did not add internal strength, nor did he use all of he strength. He used 60 percent, but it was enough to cause a relatively great deal of damage. As a result, the dagger stabbed down but did not leave the slightest trace on it, much less pierce through.

“Huh?” He became interested. Trying it again, he used his internal strength, but there was no difference from the first time around. The dagger stabbed down as if hitting a pile of fluff. It just felt very soft, but this thing did not suffer any damage, “What is this?” It was as though he had found a priceless treasure, “Is it for me?”

Feng Yu Heng nodded, “It’s for you. It’s as you saw. Swords and spears will not pierce it.” She taught him how it was to be put on. In truth, it was not at all unfamiliar for people of the modern era. It was just a bulletproof vest; however, it was the newest type that the military had developed. Each person was only given one, and it was not mass produced. This sort of thing did not fit a specific size, nor did it matter if a man or woman wore it. It was extremely elastic, and anyone could wear it. “Although I say that it can’t be pierced by swords and spears, it can only guarantee that your upper body won’t be pierced by the enemy; however, you will still feel the pressure. If the enemy’s attack lands with too much force, the pressure that will be exerted on the internal organs is also quite problematic.”

“Pressure still gives me a lease on life. If something really pierced through my heart, even if you took action, I could not be saved.” Xuan Tian Ming spoke the truth, “This is a high-level treasure, but if you give it to me, what will you do?” He handed it back to Feng Yu Heng after saying this, “Keep it for yourself. When I go to battle, I have a chest protector. It will be a bit more important for you.”

Feng Yu Heng was helpless, “Are you stupid? My space has the ability to automatically replenish itself. No matter what it is, as long as it existed in this space originally, if it’s taken out or exhausted inside this space, it will very quickly be replenished. Once this is given to you, another will appear after a short period of time. How could I not have one?”

Xuan Tian Ming tapped his head, “I really did forget about that.” After saying this, he sighed once more, “All of the wealth in the world cannot compare to your space. Heng Heng,” He held her shoulder, “You must take care of yourself. This secret must not be discovered by anyone else. Do you understand?”

Feng Yu Heng nodded, “I understand. This thing is unique in the world. It’s a godlike existence. If it was discovered by someone with bad intentions, they will definitely come up with thoughts of committing murder to steal the treasure. I will definitely be vigilant.” In truth, even if she was killed, this treasure could not be stolen because it was something that was on her person. It had followed her from the 21st century and transmigrated with her. It would not exist for any other person. But she definitely could not allow for others to find out about it. Morality really was no good. It would ensure that there were people that kept trying to harm her. “Oh right, Bai Ze said that you will be going to the military camp to send gifts for the new year?”

“Un.” Xuan Tian Ming told her: “I don’t need to go personally. Bai Ze can take care of it.”

“I will be going to the Lu manor once more on the fifth, so on the sixth, let’s go to the military camp. I have some secret martial arts to teach the Divine Intent Army. You can also come along to watch.”

Xuan Tian Ming did not know what this secret martial art was, but the things that Feng Yu Heng brought out were always unique in the world. He was filled with expectation. The two chatted for a while about the Lu family’s situation. With things as they were, the Empress acting behind their backs was already determined. It was just that the two could not understand why the Empress would do such a thing. But there were too many matters at hand, and they just did not have the time to concern themselves with that side. Xuan Tian Ming thought about it for a while then said: “I will go and tell seventh brother about this matter later on. I’ll have him pay a bit more attention to the movements inside the capital, but based on my understanding of the Empress formed over the years, the worst-case scenario should not occur. There’s no need for us to panic for now.”

“There’s also Imperial Concubine Mother’s side.” Feng Yu Heng had a helpless expression, “We’re about to leave the capital, yet the command of the imperial guards was handed over to the eighth prince. I keep feeling a little uneasy. After all, Imperial Concubine Mother is still in the palace. In truth, not to mention imperial concubine mother, but I am also worried about Father Emperor; however, I don’t know if I’m thinking too poorly of him.” She was worried that once she and Xuan Tian Ming left the capital, the eighth prince would take the opportunity to take action against the Emperor. With an opening presenting itself next to the Emperor, they would be unable to rush back from the border. When that time came, the imperial palace would have no master, and it would be too easy for old eighth to ascend the throne.

Xuan Tian Ming patted her shoulder, comforting her: “There’s no need to worry. Winter Moon Palace has its own protection abilities. Father Emperor also has thorough arrangements. He is not as foolish as he lets on. He’s still quite sharp on the inside!” He turned away and faced a window in the space. His gaze was focused on the void outside. After staying silent for a long time, he finally said: “In truth, I have never thought of competing with them for anything. From the moment I began to understand things, my Imperial Concubine Mother was the last one to arrive in the imperial palace. It was her that obtained all of Father Emperor’s love that caused the ones that had entered before her to live lonely lives. I do feel a bit apologetic. That’s why I have wanted to put in some work for the old man and worry a bit about Da Shun. In the future, whoever has the ability to sit in that seat, I would hand over all of my rights and bring Imperial Concubine Mother far away and leave this place rife with trouble. However, I never thought that as I progressed to today, I cannot see Da Shun’s future hope. Old eighth has the ability, and he has the aspiration, but his thoughts are too vile, and he is too ambitious. If the world falls into his hands, the citizens will definitely suffer. In my mind, seventh brother would be best; however, it’s unfortunate that his personality is not suited to the competition in court. Sixth brother is also quite good; however, if a scholar takes the throne, there must be a great general to protect the world. This great general will also be hard to find. Eldest brother likes business, second brother is average, fourth brother is a commoner, and fifth brother… need not be mentioned.”

Feng Yu Heng listened to him say this and understood the bitterness in his heart, thus she told him: “These thoughts are pointless. Either way, we can just take it one step at a time. Don’t worry, even if I enjoy walking freely outside, if you must shoulder the burden of this country, I will just help you with it.”

“Un.” Xuan Tian Ming nodded. When he turned back around, his gaze was filled with warmth, as he suddenly pulled the little person in front of him into his embrace. “Let’s have children earlier. Once they grow up and become adults, we’ll just toss the world to them. We can then travel the world freely.”

Feng Yu Heng felt some emotions stir, as she carelessly nodded, saying: “Alright, in the worst-case scenario, we can cultivate some scholars and military officials for them. In the future, even if they themselves are incompetent, there will be people to help them, and it won’t be like it is now, with us needing to worry about everything.”

“How could my, Xuan Tian Ming’s, child be incompetent?” There was a flame lit in the bottom of his abdomen. Xuan Tian Ming held the little person in his embrace tighter. Over the past two years, Feng Yu Heng had developed quite well. She was 15, and she would become of marriageable age after a few more months. The flesh on her chest had also grown quite a bit. When he held her, he just felt that she was quite soft, and this softness reached his heart. It was so soft that he was unwilling to let go. He just wanted to hold her a little tighter.

Feng Yu Heng felt as though she was about to be choked to death… Although this sort of thinking was ruining the fun, Xuan Tian Ming had indeed used a bit too much strength. She was not an ignorant little girl, much less a pampered girl from a large family in the ancient world. In regards to Xuan Tian Ming’s current actions and what they meant, she was very clear. Speaking truthfully, the feelings between the two had matured. Having been together for many years, it was already certain that they would be the other’s partner. Aside from death, there would be no other changes. If this was the her of the 21st century, she would have already knocked over the person before her. Who cared who took the initiative? That was the freedom of feelings, and she could make a decision for herself. But now, things were no good. She had not been stopped by the feudal laws, nor was she stopped by her family members. Instead, it was her body. With this new year, she had just turned 15. Even if her mind was mature, her physical condition could not be changed. 15 years of age was too young. She should not endure those sorts of feelings of love too soon.

She gently patted Xuan Tian Ming’s back and felt that the warmth of his body had already spread all around his body. Even his back had become so hot. Helplessly sighing, she finally spoke up and changed the topic: “I can no longer enter the palace, but I have prepared some medicine for Father Emperor and Imperial Concubine Mother. When you go back later, bring them along. Find some time to send them into the palace.”

Xuan Tian Ming was very helpless. His girl was too unreceptive to these things. How could a person bring up such pointless things at a time like this; however, he also understood her feelings. She had not yet become of marriageable age. If he could no longer endure now, it would cause damage to her body. He had heard long ago that girls that endured this sort of love too early would have the root of illness planted. He did not hope for this girl to end up with some sort of problem in the future. That was why he still let go of her and did his best to suppress his passion. Finally calming down, he smiled bitterly and said: “Really bothersome!”

The two exited the space, and Feng Yu Heng handed him the medicine that she had prepared beforehand. She then hurried him to quickly go back. After sending off Xuan Tian Ming and returning to her courtyard, Huang Quan could no longer hold back and asked: “Young Miss, why is your face so red?”

Feng Yu Heng raised her hand and felt it. It was not just red. It was also very hot. “It might have been too hot, and it got stuffy.”

“Hot?” Huang Quan was puzzled, “The brazier in the medicine storage room wasn’t even lit. How could it have been hot?”

“I, your young miss, was training my internal strength with His Highness the ninth prince. That’s why it got hot!” She rolled her eyes at Huang Quan then returned to her room, closing the door with a “bang.” That damn servant was willing to ask about anything. Could it be that she should tell them that it was because His Highness the ninth prince had become worked up, and your young miss nearly failed to hold back, thus her face became red like a tomato? Really!

But speaking of, things really had been quite dangerous! For a mature and progressive woman from the 21st century, how could she not become a little bit excited when the person that she desired held her and became excited. Heavens knew that she had nearly wanted to take the initiative and push Xuan Tian Ming over. However, in the last second, reason had conquered passion, but this passion continued to burn inside her chest. How should this be put out?
