They were already by the shore. Dugu Ming supported himself with one hand on the bank, with Mei Kaiye trapped between, one hand still pulling him down.
At a glance, it looked like Dugu Ming was pressing down on Mei Kaiye.
In the end, Mei Kaiye was still frantically gasping for air. Dugu Ming had given up struggling, letting her do as she pleased, even gently kissing her back.
Almost as expected, a voice ground out through clenched teeth—
“What are you doing?”
Mo Yi stood there, furious. Originally, he had no intention of attending the banquet. He had become restless after seeing Mei Kaiye leave her seat. Who would have thought they’d see this scene.
At this point, Dugu Ming forcefully pulled Mei Kaiye away. “Your Highness Yue Fei, you’re safe now.”
Mei Kaiye opened her vacant eyes, unfocused. Unconsciously, she tried to press against him again. Dugu Ming turned his face away, her lips brushing his cheek.
Mo Yi saw her actions, radiating an intense anger. He stepped forward, rebuking, “Yue Fei! Have you no sense of propriety!”
Seeing Mei Kaiye make no move to leave Dugu Ming, he turned his fury on Dugu Ming.
“Dugu Ming, what explanation do you have for today’s events?”
“Her Highness Yue Fei was drowning.”
“How could she suddenly drown?”
Even if you’re making excuses, at least make them believable!”
Mo Xue, just recovering from the shock, inappropriately said, “Sister-in-law is so bold. Even daring to be intimate with the big ice mountain!” Admiration!
Ink Snow said without conscience or shame, “Yes, if it weren’t for my sister-in-law teaching me her life’s ultimate skill, I wouldn’t have been able to handle you.”
“…” Hearing her say this, Sui Feng turned away unnaturally, a faint blush rising on his face.
“Sui Feng, are you embarrassed?” Ink Snow laughed, slapping Sui Feng’s back, “Let’s go. What’s there to be shy about? You’re already my person!”
“…” Sui Feng’s face turned even redder.
Only Dugu Ming and Sui Xing were left. Sui Xing continued to smile, eerily, staring fixedly at Dugu Ming, and finally said, “General, take care of yourself,” before leaving.
Dugu Ming stood in place, saying calmly, “Come out.”
The maidservant from earlier walked out from behind the bushes, bowing, “What are your orders, General?”
“Your martial skills are not bad.”
