Chapter 676: 676
Chapter 676 The Empress Regnant’s Enchanting Consort (8)
A country for a betrothal .
Feng Yunian’s inscrutable, nearly unshakable heart cracked at these words .
【Ding . The male lead’s favorability has increased to -30 . 】
His fingers pierced his palms, and the pain brought him back to his senses .
It was just a joke .
Bai Weiwei slowly walked until she stood before him .
She turned away from the light and smiled gently .
“What, so touched you can’t speak?”
Feng Yunian pressed down his anger . He had always done his utmost to suppress his emotions . To say it positively, he was composed .
To say it negatively, he was repressed1 .
He looked down, his fingers digging into his palms . The bits of emotions in his delicately handsome face vanished .
Suddenly, he smiled faintly, and the gentle warmth in his eyes and brows became more pronounced .
“Your Majesty jests . How could a country be treated as a betrothal gift? Yunian dares not accept such a gift . ”
Bai Weiwei looked at him, her gaze smoldering, and she smiled .
Her features were initially stunningly beautiful . This smile was like a peony2, with the beauty of flower bouquets and sumptuous brocades .
When Feng Yunian was in the palace, he’d come across many women .
But none of them could compare to Bai Weiwei’s charm .
There was a spark of amazement in his heart, but he suppressed it again .
Bai Weiwei suddenly said: “Then instead, let’s make a bet . ”
Feng Yunian had already wholly calmed down . His voice was level . “What bet would Your Majesty want to make with an assassin like me?”
Bai Weiwei’s voice was gentle and solemn . “Just a bet on when I will fall in love with you . ”
Feng Yunian’s thick lashes fluttered, and the indifference in his pupils once again began to billow and surge .

“Don’t you believe that I like you? I’ll give you a chance right now . You can use any method to tempt me into falling in love with you . ”
Her tone carried a hint of sweet seduction .
It was such an absurd suggestion, but she didn’t sound the least bit like she was joking .
Feng Yunian finally raised his eyes to look at her . He saw in her eyes a searing honesty, as though she looked forward to seeing him .
He also didn’t know why he looked away .
She didn’t even use “Zhen” and used “I” instead .
This was calling each other equals3 .
Feng Yunian just barely opened his mouth when the other party suddenly groaned .
He immediately looked up and saw Bai Weiwei frowning as she gripped her shoulder .
The shoulder of her sleeve was stained with blood .
This was… the wound he created .

Bai Weiwei secretly grimaced in pain . Just now, her posturing had gone too far and tore open her wound .
She clutched the system and cried, “Scumstem, It’s hurt . ”
The system, who was immersed in its meal, said perfunctorily: “En, endure it til it doesn’t hurt, or ask your man to blow on it for you . It won’t hurt if you’re happy . ”
Bai Weiwei: Good idea .
She was just about to use the manner of an overbearing president, making Feng Yunian bow before the force of her charm and blow on her wounds .
But a slender white hand had already tugged on her sleeve .
Feng Yunian had his head bowed . His face was slightly pale . His chillingly beautiful profile, in a halo of light, carried a hint of hesitation .
“Being granted Your Majesty’s favor, Yunian has committed a grave sin and doesn’t dare to think about the country anymore . If Your Majesty will believe me, I will remain loyal to Your Majesty . ”
Bai Weiwei: Yo, she must look like a fool . The loyalty of a -30 favorability… was wanting a person’s life .
She revealed a wide smile . Seizing the opportunity, she grabbed his hand and stroked it .
“Welcome, welcome . Flirt with… oh, no, stay loyal to me . ”

This dogleg4 smile made Feng Yunian purse his lips . Calculations flashed through his eyes .
Bai Weiwei, this tyrannical and cruel woman, what was her aim?
Feng Yunian sneered in his heart . Those cold calculations resurfaced .
1: The two words used to describe Feng Yunian are 沉稳 (heavy/profound + stable/steady) and 阴沉 (negative/secret/sinister + heavy/profound), which I usually translate to gloomy, cloudy, overcast, or some other similar word . None of the usual terms of choice fit this context very well . However, since 阴 can mean hidden, I figured “repressed” would still be an acceptable translation while also being a synonym with a negative connotation for his personality trait . ↩
2: 牡丹芍药: seems to be two different species of flowers? 牡丹: Paeonia x suffruticosa, 1st photo, Mudan, or Moutan peony . P . suffruticosa has briefly appointed China’s national flower from 1903 to 1929, but even now, it is culturally significant and is known as “the King of Flowers . ” 芍药: Paeonia lactiflora, 2nd photo, Chinese peony . P . lactiflora is sometimes called “the Minister of Flowers . ” ↩
3: Equal in social standing . ↩
4: 狗腿: flattering . ↩
