Chapter 118 Complex Relationship

Has Honglian always been so fierce? Yang Chong looked at Honglian who was blowing air towards his fingers in confusion. Was it because he had eaten his food elsewhere? Now Honglian seemed to have no brains at all.

"It hurts so much." Honglian looked at her red and swollen fingers and looked at Yang Chongdao with tears in her eyes. The physical pain made her hope for psychological comfort.

"You asked for it." Yang Chong rolled his eyes at Honglian. His IQ was so stupid that it was laughable.

"I've seen that you can do it, so I thought of giving it a try." Honglian said aggrievedly.

"How can you compare with my many years of practice? Practice internal skills first. After three months, you can think about external skills." Yang Chong said.

"Will it take three months? Isn't that too long?" Honglian covered her fingers. For a girl who was not even sixteen years old, three months was indeed a very long time.

"It's fast enough. Becoming a master cannot be achieved overnight. There are many people in the world who are more talented and work harder than you, but not everyone can become a master. Give me your hand." Yang Chong stretched out his hand to Honglian.

Just based on what Honglian did just now, if Yang Chong didn't help him, he would have been in pain for several days.

Honglian looked at the hand that Yang Chong stretched out in front of her and hesitated for a moment. Although she didn't know what Yang Chong was going to do, she still placed her little hand in Yang Chong's palm.

Yang Chong held Honglian's small hand. It seemed that because it was swollen, it became a little softer, so he pinched it subconsciously, causing Honglian to cry out, not knowing whether it was out of shame or pain.

Yang Chong wrapped Honglian's palm with his true Qi, which gradually merged into Honglian's skin and warmed her fingers that had swollen like carrots. Honglian moaned comfortably and stood up, looking down at Yang Chong who was sitting. She saw that Yang Chong's attention was on her hands. The feeling between her fingers and palms was hard to describe, and Honglian didn't know how to describe it either. But they eventually converged in her heart and turned into strands of tenderness intertwined together, which made Honglian feel an impulse.

What could Honglian do under impulse? She was never a timid person.

Honglian looked at Yang Chong, and took a step forward uncontrollably, getting closer to Yang Chong. As Yang Chong looked surprised, the hand that he had not held had already reached out to his shoulder.

In the next moment, Yang Chong felt that he was trapped in a soft place, and Honglian actually took the initiative to hug Yang Chong.

It has to be said that the young man in the village who only wanted to survive back then now has the ability to easily win the heart of a princess of a country.

However, Honglian is just a girl after all. A momentary impulse can make her very fierce, but when the impulse disappears, she will become very cute. So when Yang Chong's breath hit her heart, the little Korean princess woke up instantly and quickly let go of Yang Chong, her little face already as red as blood.

Yang Chong, who regained his freedom, sniffed, and there seemed to be a lingering scent of Honglian's milk in his breath. Although he had no intention of provoking Honglian, he still had the regrets that every man would have.

Although Honglian kept her head tilted and didn't dare to look at Yang Chong because of shyness, she kept glancing at Yang Chong's reaction out of the corner of her eyes. However, Yang Chong didn't react at all, which made Honglian disappointed and a little angry at the same time.

Why can you pretend that nothing happened? Honglian thought indignantly, but asking her to question Yang Chong at this time seemed too difficult for her.

For a moment, Honglian could only use her toes to hold the boots, wishing she could kick Yang Chong, but in the end she was reluctant to break free from Yang Chong's hand. The feeling between his fingers and palms at this moment made Honglian very intoxicated. Otherwise, she would not have made such a bold move just now.

Just when Yang Chong let go of Honglian, a woman led a group of palace maids and came from a distance. The leader was an old acquaintance of Yang Chong.

"Why are you here?" Honglian, who was originally upset because of Yang Chong, became angry instantly when she saw the person coming and questioned him.

"I'm here on the king's orders to bring you, Honglian, some food!" Facing Honglian's unkindness, Lady Hu didn't care at all. She still greeted him with a smile. She glanced at Yang Chong with her fox-like eyes, revealing a hint of intriguing meaning.

"Are you so kind?" Honglian glanced at Lady Hu. She didn't have a good impression of the vixen around Han Wangan.

In Honglian's opinion, her father was not a wise ruler, and a big reason for that was because of the two vixens, Concubine Hu and Madam Mingzhu.

"This must be Commander Yang from Sima Sect, right?" Lady Hu didn't care about Honglian's cold eyes and cold words, but turned her gaze to Yang Chong.

"What are you going to do? I remind you to be aware of your identity." Honglian quickly stood in front of Yang Chong, looking like she was protecting him.

"Why do you have to be so wary of me, Honglian? Honglian, you are still young, you can't be so willful when dealing with men." Lady Hu smiled slightly. Although the little guy is difficult to deal with, he is not difficult to deal with. "What do you mean?" Honglian, whose thoughts were exposed, instantly lost her arrogance as a princess, and only felt guilty.

"Honglian, you have grown up. You can't let others think you are a child anymore." Lady Hu pulled Honglian's hand. This time Honglian did not resist at all. Her weak spot had been found.

"Commander Yang, these are pastries that are only available in the palace. You can try them." Concubine Hu walked beside Honglian while looking back and said to Yang Chong.

"Lady Hu, please do as you please." Yang Chong said, his eyes already falling on the cakes neatly arranged by the palace maids. They looked very delicate. He could take them back to let Yan Lingji taste them. As for him? Compared to cakes, he was a pure carnivore.

"Why are you pulling me?" Although Honglian, whose weak spot was caught, did not dare to get angry with Lady Hu as she did before, she still showed some resistance.

"Do you like Commander Yang?" Lady Hu's words instantly made Honglian's resistance disappear.

Honglian was embarrassed and neither dared to admit it nor could she deny it. However, for some questions, a simple attitude is enough and they do not necessarily need to be answered. This was the case with Honglian at this moment, so Lady Hu already understood.

"To deal with men, you can't just use the princess's methods. That's for treating servants, not men." Concubine Hu said while pulling Honglian. This time Honglian was exceptionally well-behaved. Honglian knew Concubine Hu's methods of controlling men, so she hated Concubine Hu. But what if Concubine Hu was useful to her now?
"Then tell me what I should do?" Honglian said, holding back the heat on her face.

"The princess is a beauty. It would be easy for her to capture a man with just a little trick." Lady Hu said as she turned around to glance at Yang Chong. She saw that Yang Chong was still concentrating on studying the pastries on the table. Well, a countryman like Yang Chong should have never seen these exquisite things in the palace.

However, Yang Chong's indifferent attitude made Concubine Hu feel helpless. I have helped you so much, but you don't take it seriously. You still want to be a general. With this attitude, you are destined to be a gatekeeper.

At this moment, Concubine Hu just wanted to assist Yang Chong. No matter whether the last incident was an accident or a long-planned one, it was unforgettable for Concubine Hu. To her, Yang Chong was special after all. After all, on that night, Yang Chong left his mark on her. If Concubine Hu could help Yang Chong in some way, Concubine Hu would not mind helping out. Of course, there were many things that Concubine Hu would not do.

Although this little woman has her own sentimental side, she is also very clear that the foundation of her livelihood lies in Han Wangan, so she will not betray Han Wangan.

"Well, hum." Honglian nodded, and there was a bit of pride in her expression despite her shyness. She, Honglian, was also very beautiful, enough to attract the attention of any man, even Yang Chong was no exception.

"However, there are many beautiful women. How to become a beautiful woman who is unique to Yang Chong is a problem." Lady Hu guided Honglian's thoughts step by step.

"This?" Honglian was confused. She still couldn't react.

"In fact, every man is a child. They are easy to coax and also easy to deceive." Lady Hu went on. She wanted Honglian to take the bait completely and take the initiative to bite Yang Chong's bait. In the end, she would be hooked tightly and there would be no possibility of getting off the hook.

"Is this how you deceived my father?" Honglian felt that what Lady Hu said made sense, but she felt unwilling to accept Lady Hu's approval. Therefore, she spoke with a bit more toughness and started to fight back at a tricky angle.

"Honglian thinks the king doesn't know that I'm lying to him?" Honglian's words made Lady Hu's expression pause, but she reacted immediately.

"If he knew, he would have recognized your true identity long ago. How could he still be bewitched by you?" Honglian said unhappily. She couldn't bear to see her father being bewitched by a few women.

"Honglian, you are wrong. The king is such a great man, he cannot see through my methods. He just likes what I say. Those words can make him happy, so why can't I say them?" said Lady Hu.

"Then why does father still believe you?" Honglian asked puzzledly.

"Because I am a woman, the king only wants to hear nice words from me. As for whether those words are true or false, the king does not care. Only when facing the ministers in the court, the king wants to hear the truth. What the king needs from me is happiness, nothing else is important." Lady Hu explained.

"A devious way." Honglian snorted coldly without commenting.

"Although they are unorthodox ways, they are useful. Do you want to listen, Honglian?" How could Lady Hu, who had already become a spirit, not see that Honglian was just being stubborn.

"I'll just listen so that I can remind him in the future to prevent him from being deceived by other women." Honglian hummed and said half-truthfully.
