Chapter 485 "A Different Kind of Love Pledge (2)"

In response to the report, Xia Hou Qi only gave a small mumble of confirmation because he didn't care for any of this. The only thing bothering his mind was the fact that the one person that he yearns for hadn't been seen at all during the entire way here.

He knew Ling Yue had to return to Moon City first before riding out, that's why he deliberately slowed down their speed along the journey. But even when they are already at North Qing's capital the girl was nowhere to be seen. If he said he wasn't worried and disappointed then it's a lie.

Towards the absent-minded appearance of the boy, Princess Qing Bi would of course take notice since she's so obsessed with him, which manifested into a deep frown on that pretty face. However, the sadness didn't take long to leave the princess's face when a certain carriage came into sight up ahead.

“Isn't that the Phoenix Manor's carriage? Could it be, Brother Feng Shen is here!"

As royalty and cousin's with Qing Bi, Feng Shen's relations.h.i.+p with the bratty princess would of course be decent. That's why, when that excessively lively voice rang across the air, the boy first reaction he had was to open his resting eyes to peek out for the source.

Perhaps it's due to the fact that he was on his own turf again, but Feng Shen's temperament was definitely different from when he was in Da Xia. Still the same gentle smile, still the same frail looking lad, yet the aura coming off of his existence, what's the word…. It's oppressive and intimidating. Yes, the same kind of powerful pressure only found among kings!

“You are already a big girl Qing Bi, how can you still act like a child at your age." Though the way the lad said it sounded friendly and kind like a doting brother, but that's only on the surface and never reached his eyes.

Besides, the one girl that he wants to meet was nowhere to be seen still, how could he possibly be happy?

“Brother Feng Shen is still the same as before… No, you are even better looking than before. As expected of our North Qing's number one handsome gentleman." Towards this cousin of hers, Qing Bi was both infatuated and fearful at the same time.

Although Feng Shen was only three years older than herself, and he's extremely favored by the king, but the princess always had this notion that she mustn't cross him in light of never being threatened in any way. Qing Bi herself didn't know why she thought this way either, its just the way it was since she was little and that's how it remains even to this day.

Taking this all in, Xia Hou Qi remains as absent-minded as ever, just that a layer of gloom was starting to hover above that face over his rival's appearance.

“Prince Hou Qi, everyone, it's been a while." Finally landing his sight on the rest, Feng Shen took the initiative to greet them all.

“Your Highness is too polite. As the master of the Phoenix Manor and the owner of so many businesses, it's truly an honor to have you come pick us up." Not waiting for the one who should be answering, Hong Yu Ying ran ahead of Xia Hou Qi to speak on behalf of the crowd.

That lovestruck eye said it all, she's already lost it….

Naturally this untimely and ill-mannered action would cause some frowns, but it was Hong Ming Yue who suffered the most. It's outright embarra.s.sing so the ice beauty was already cursing the heck out of her dumb elder sister inside.
