Heavenly Star (Web Novel)

Xue Feiyan approached, her eyes wandered to Ning Xue’s face. “I would never deceive people. Little sister, if your face didn’t have any scars, you must look more beautiful than me.”

She extended a hand to touch Ning Xue’s scar. Ning Xue blinked her eyes, but did not resist. She heard Ye Wuchen remark, “Thanks for your kindness. It’s just that Xue-er’s scars aren’t just any ordinary wound. If we could, I would have already removed them a long time ago.”

Xue Feiyan’s hand stopped, then she retracted it. “Little sweetheart, you are finally telling the truth. I have came across a lot of people, but this is my first time seeing this kind of wound. Little sister, you are actually called Xue-er? Don’t you worry, older sister will love you just like your brother.”

“Then older sister, will you tell me why brother’s body turned hot? Brother should really not be afraid of fire.” Ning Xue asked. Since she sincerely cared about her brother, she did not forget to ask this question.

Ning Xue could not understand how, yet Meng Zhi had somehow guessed the reason. Although she was a woman, she was similarly attracted to Xue Feiyan’s beautiful face. She even believed that this kind of woman could seduce any ordinary man… including Ye Wuchen. What they had did a while ago, she could very well imagine. Thinking of this, her heart became more uncomfortable.

“Enchantress.” She involuntarily spilled out this word from her mouth. Although it was said in a low voice, Ye Wuchen and Xue Feiyan were able to hear it clearly enough.

“This little sister, do I really look like an enchantress?” Xue Feiyan shifted her gaze on Meng Zhi. Dubiously looking at her from head to toe, from her face to her chest, then to her buttocks, her legs… She had used her naked eyes and was even revealing an obvious tantalizing gaze. Meng Zhi felt she was being touched all over her body. Although Xue Feiyan was also a woman, she was a woman with boundless charm, so the gaze made her feel shy. She could only force herself to bring out anger, “Don’t use your eyes to stare at me.”

“Oh?” Xue Feiyan was surprised, but replied with more interest, “Little sister, whether a person is beautiful or ugly, all are observed by other people. Why don’t you let me take a few more glances? Could it be that there’s some unexplainable factors? Oh! I know… hehehehe. That’s why even with such perfect a figure and smooth skin you still have to conceal your own face, you must be very ugly, or there’s something on your face that you won’t let other people see.” Xue Feiyan regained her smiling face and with a pitying face she said, “So pitiful, little sister. As a woman, I evidently know that the face is the most important part of a woman, or else even if a woman has a perfect figure, no one will like her still. I didn’t expect that little sister who has a perfect figure would be ugly. Little brother, why do you prefer to have fun with this ugly little sister, but refuse to love this older sister?”

Ye Wuchen’s heart jumped wildly, and in a low voice he said, “Don’t say that, me and her don’t have the kind of relationship that you are thinking about.”

Xue Feiyan suddenly realized, so her pitying eyes focused on Meng Zhi’s face. Feeling sorry for her, she said, “No wonder, with little brother’s handsome face, how could he like an ugly little sister who refuses to let other people see her face? As it turns out, he doesn’t really like her…”

“You are the ugly one!” Meng Zhi was firmly biting her lips, but eventually she argued back. Speaking of arguing, she who had only met a few people, was not good with arguments, so she would never become this enchantress Xue Feiyan’s worthy opponent. The moment she argued back, she felt that her arguing skills were so ridiculously weak, because Xue Feiyan’s beauty was a direct proof before her eyes, truly enough to cause the downfall of a nation.

“I am really ugly, that’s why this little brother refuses to love me. But even if I am ugly, I am better than someone who covers her face and refuses to let other people see it. Sister Xue-er, don’t you think I’m right?”

Ning Xue blinked, completely not knowing what to do. She could smell the unknown fireworks that had sparked between the two of them.

Meng Zhi’s breathing became rough, the breasts on her chest also moved up and down because of her breathing. Although the size was not as full as Xue Feiyan’s large curves, one could still see their perfect shape even if they were being covered by a layer of cloth. Ever since she was a child, aside from Xue Feiyan, only Ye Wuchen had ever been rude to her. Xue Feiyan was just a woman… Maybe in front of Ye Wuchen…

Perhaps because of a woman's inherent jealousy and wish to triumph, or perhaps there were other reasons, her head flared up. Under some impulse, she rushed over and tore off the veil from her face. Lifting up her head up high, she shouted, “Who is the ugly little sister now?!”

When Meng Zhi and Xue Feiyan clashed, Ye Wuchen had expected that Meng Zhi would surely be defeated. The outcome of the defeat was to remove Meng Zhi’s veil from her face. For a woman, the most effective way to cause a dispute was to include their looks into the discussion. Unless they were a true saint, only a few women could be exempt from this.

When her appearance reflected in his eyes, it shook Ye Wuchen’s mind, like the feeling of falling into a dream. It was a very delicately perfect face without any blemishes, combined with an absolutely beautiful body that every woman dreamed of, shrouded with a noble and elegant personality, fresh and pure like a snow lotus, pure and holy like a fairy, completely different from Xue Feiyan’s charm. They stood up looking at each other, one with a charming and sweet smile, the other coldly arrogant and aloof, somehow sullen. Ye Wuchen felt like he was watching a fairy and an enchantress in the middle of a confrontation.

But this fairy was obviously very white and delicate, and this enchantress was cunning and experienced. If they were to be compared… The fairy would certainly lose.

“These few days, it was accurate to call her a fairy. She naturally possesses the personality traits and character. In the event that she became colder, more earnest, and more indifferent, it would not be excessive to call her a fairy in the human world.” Ye Wuchen admired her quietly. Indeed, Meng Zhi’s fairy-like traits were similar to Xue Feiyan’s seductive manners, all were inherently present in their nature, one could not just foster these characters even if they trained or cultivated themselves with great effort. Ye Wuchen became even more interested in Meng Zhi’s origins now. Through their interaction in the past few days, he had guessed major parts of it. Now that he had seen her real face though, he became more suspicious with his previous guess.

“Sister Meng is also very beautiful.” Ning Xue yelled out foolishly. Upon hearing these words, Meng Zhi lifted her head even higher, then almost subconsciously, she used the corner of her eyes to steal a glance at Ye Wuchen, who had been siding with the enchantress. At that moment, if they were to follow the usual speed to proceed further in their journey, five days would be sufficient for them to reach the Yan Long City.

……………………………………………………………………………

Tian Long Imperial City.

Just as the Gale Nation’s crown prince Feng Ling had wished, Ye Wei brought him to stroll around the area that he wished to visit. A few great influential families of Tian Long City, the biggest army camp, the weaponry storehouse, army training camp, etc. They did not overlook anything, but Ye Wei was pretty aware that Feng Ling was somehow preoccupied as his eyes frequently went sluggish all of a sudden, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Wei had some suspicions in mind. Feng Ling’s performance was not something pretended. As the person who had cross swords with numerous soldiers of the Gale Nation in the battlefield, with his own eyes he had witnessed numerous brothers die under the sword of the Gale Nation so his hatred towards the Gale Nation was even more greater than the normal citizen of Tian Long Nation. He did not have any favorable impression with this crown prince of the Gale Nation, so he naturally would not take the initiative to speak out and ask him.

“Tian Long City is indeed unusually good, even better than what my father had described. No wonder your army was able to beat our Gale Nation’s army until they threw off all their equipment during those days. General Ye, it’s getting late, sorry to trouble you for a day of tour with me. I have seen all the things I wanted to see. My wish has been fulfilled, now I want to go back and meet His Majesty. Please, go ahead, General Ye.” After speaking, Feng Ling moved his body aside to let Ye Wei precede him.

His first few statements were said without him meaning them, and only for the sake of courtesy, Ye Wei did not really care, but what made him concerned was Feng Ling’s sudden change of attitude towards him. He was even more polite than when they had first met. Even though Feng Ling was refined and courteous during the entire time, his expression prominently looked arrogant and noble, which was the attitude of a crown prince. But now, he lowered his stance and instead showed Ye Wei a respectful attitude similar to a younger generation showing respect to their elders.
