Chapter 375 Shells and thorns

She then gave orders to the captain as she patted the side of the horse\'s neck, soothing it from the previous sudden stop.

"Yes! As you command, Commander Feng! You heard the Commander! March to the camp! ... But-... what to do about the traveler?!"

The captain straightened up at the strict voice of the beauty, but after relaying the orders his soldiers started executing even before he spoke a word, he hesitatingly asked for instructions as he switched his gaze back and forth between Wu Long and Feng Yi.

"This man, heh. I am going to take him in for questioning"

A stunning smile appeared on her face as she looked at Wu Long who chuckled at her words. The captain wanted to ask more but an officer who came with Feng Yi hurriedly approached him and started pushing him to leave.

Wu Long noticed that the only soldiers carrying the Feng family flag were in her squad, the rest were under the Royal Banner indicating the King\'s army.

---

The army camp was wide as the force deployed was quite large. At the center of it stood the Commander\'s Tent which at day served as the strategy room and at night was also the Commander\'s Quarters, though that private part was separated from the one used for meetings

Wu Long followed Feng Yi into the tent, and stopped as she dismissed every officer still at the meeting table with a map, ordering the ones leaving to not disturb the two of them. The cloth closed from both sides behind him as the red-haired beauty stood at the table, her back facing the exit and the man standing in front of it.

She then turned around, her olive green eyes glinted with a dangerous light.

"Haha, Commander Feng, you\'re scaring me! What kind of questioning are you going to subject this innocent man to with a glare like that?"

Wu Long chuckled as he looked her straight into the eyes while the plates of her armor clunked from her folding her arms in front.

"Hah, keep spouting nonsense and you\'ll learn very soon, innocent man my ass"

She snorted as her eyes narrowed down a little, causing him to widen the smile on his face. After a small pause she opened her mouth first.

"You\'re late"

"I am? Haha, I did not realize there was an agreed upon time of arrival"

"There wasn\'t"

"And yet I\'m late?"

"Exactly"

Wu Long almost burst out laughing at the unreasonable argument, but decided to keep going for now.

"You left for an entire year, and left no message or news. And then I hear that the whole time Mingyu and your other women were with you, leaving only me behind"

"Indeed, but wasn\'t it you who said you couldn\'t leave?"

"So it is my fault?"

Her gaze turned sharp while his smile grew even more amused.

"Who said it was. I never blamed you for not leaving everything behind, just like you can\'t blame me for not dropping everything to stay here. We all got things to do and places to be"

Wu Long chuckled as she nodded, agreeing with him without missing a beat.

"But you could have at least send word"

"Haha, Yi\'er, you know that this isn\'t about the time I was gone, a communication jade message or news. There is something else you want to know, so let\'s get to the point"

"..."

She froze as she looked at his smile, her eyes showing a different emotion behind the anger.

He slowly started coming closer to her as she stood still, her left leg almost going up for a step back but forcefully remaining on the spot.

"Do you know that you look incredibly hot when you\'re angry?"

He spoke as he approached, looking her in the eyes.

"No you don\'t! You can\'t turn this discussion into a silly-.."

"Oh but I can. Since you don\'t want to be honest with me I have no choice but to bring it out of you. So, do you know that? Haha, though maybe it is because of that reason that you let me see that expression"

He came face to face with her and leaned in to whisper the last part in her ear in a low tone of voice that sent shivers down her spine.

"Asshole"

Her words were sharp but her intonation and expression betrayed the joy and excitement. She also could not hide being flattered at being coveted, though she tried to keep a poker face on.

"Hehe, guilty"

He chuckled into her ear as she became slightly weak in the knees. And as she stumbled a step back to the table her eyes looked at him with a sharp light in them while her cheeks became rosy.The hands she folded fell to her sides and then on the table to help prop her up.

The whole conversation before might have looked like a quarrel to an outsider, and yet was simply a flimsy illusion to him, which he saw through from the very start with no difficulty whatsoever.

Her sharp words, the strict attitude, the glint in her eyes and cold expression, all of it failed to hide her feelings despite her best efforts.

"Yes, it\'s these eyes. These stubborn and unyielding eyes"

Wu Long nodded as he looked into the olive green of her eyes that stimulated his desire as his right hand went up to trace her cheek, sending tingles through her as she almost closed her eyes from the comfortable and nostalgic feeling. She did not turn away, and did not run, looking back into his eyes as her breathing turned faster.

"Wu Long"

His name fell from her lips in a whisper, a voice almost indistinguishable and yet full of longing.

Talismans flew from Wu Long\'s hand and started sticking to all of the surroundings as a formation activated and became invisible.

"Here... now?!"

Her eyes widened as she saw that to which she got a smirk with a chuckle.

"Hahah, who\'s bullshitting who now? You knew what you were doing when you ordered to not be disturbed no matter what to your subordinates"

Wu Long chuckled at the \'surprise\' to which she slightly bit her lower lip.

\'Hah, really, did she seriously think she wouldn\'t be caught? How cute\'

He inwardly became even more amused as his lips met hers in a kiss.
