The Feng family's eldest daughter? Everything was her own fault? She shouldn't have harbored any fantasies about Xuan Yuanheng? She had now become the most humble, the most lowly?
Feng Ran, remember this, you are the one who caused all of this.
Feng Ran, you better live well, this king has prepared many "surprises" for you.
Feng Ran let out a scoff, yes. Many "surprises," all for Yu Wan Yan.
She smiled disdainfully, and it was herself she was laughing at.
"Is that so? Then I am truly honored, to have the high and mighty Regent spend so much thought on someone like me."
"Such distinguished treatment, perhaps, in this world, only I have it."
A flicker of an unusual gaze flashed in Xuan Yuanheng's eyes, but it was only for a moment. Meeting Feng Ran's sarcastic gaze, Xuan Yuanheng gripped her chin.
This time, he seemed as though he wouldn't be satisfied until he crushed her chin.
His hand directly grabbed her wrist, pulling her up forcefully, and he said in a chilling, bloodthirsty tone, "This king will take you somewhere."
"I believe that place will help you learn a lesson. It will make you clearly understand what you should say, and what you shouldn't say."
Feng Ran's heart jolted, her face instantly turned ashen, she struggled, "No, don't, I don't want to go."
Her whole body trembled, looking at the man before her in terror. At this moment, all she wanted was to escape.
The man before her was like a devil in her eyes.
Feng Ran desperately tried to break free from the man's grasp, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
"Heh." He forcibly dragged Feng Ran away. At this moment, Feng Ran's legs buckled, and she fell directly to the ground, yet Xuan Yuanheng showed no intention of stopping. He continued to drag her forcefully, taking her away.
Stopping before the carriage, he then picked Feng Ran up and placed her directly inside.
"Please, let me go, can you?"
"No, I don't want to go." Feng Ran pleaded bitterly, even wishing to kowtow to the man before her.
"Be good, don't speak."
"Be quiet, understand?" Xuan Yuanheng's chilling voice echoed.
These words made Feng Ran tremble all over, even breaking out in a cold sweat.
Feng Ran slumped in the corner, utterly weak, keeping her distance from the man before her at all times.
She knew very well that she could no longer escape. She had to resign herself to fate.
She even silently pleaded in her heart, hoping Xuan Yuanheng wouldn't do anything drastic.
Seeing that Feng Ran remained silent and didn't argue, a mocking smile curved Xuan Yuanheng's lips. "See? Isn't it better now?"
"Wouldn't it have been better if you were quiet from the start?"
Xuan Yuanheng's expression was calm, betraying none of his thoughts.
When his hand reached out, Feng Ran instinctively flinched away, looking at the man before her in panic.
"Regent, I know I was wrong," Feng Ran said softly, not daring to make any significant movements.
Xuan Yuanheng, however, seemed not to hear Feng Ran's plea. He looked coldly at the person before him and said chillingly, "Feng Ran, this king said, you just need to obey."
The man's voice was bloodthirsty and cold.
At this moment, Feng Ran dared not say anything more, only obediently complying.
Feng Ran smiled self-mockingly. He said, obey?
These were the most detestable words she had ever heard, yet she had no choice but to comply.
She thought for a long time, and then spoke, "Regent, if you want my life, take it."
"Living such a humble and pathetic life is worse than not living at all."
"Living has truly become meaningless."
She was truly tired, no longer wanting to contend with the man before her. Because, she knew the outcome without even thinking.
What I owe Lan Lan, can it be repaid in the next life?
Lan Lan, I am truly too tired, and too bitter.
There is only one life, if Xuan Yuanheng wants it, he can take it.
Living every day like a frightened bird, she was truly afraid.
Xuan Yuanheng's gaze fell on Feng Ran, and he seemed almost incredulous that Feng Ran would utter such words.
A strange light flickered in his eyes, as if he had thought of something. His hand fell on her fair neck and slowly tightened. "Since you wish to die, then this king shall grant your wish."
With that, his hand tightened further. Feng Ran's face instantly darkened.
His face touched Feng Ran's, and his lips were almost touching hers. At this moment, his deep voice echoed in the carriage, "Do you know? This king has wanted your life for a long time."
"It's just that, whenever I think of how tragically Wan Yan died, I feel that directly strangling you would be too easy for you."
"You deserve to be torn to shreds."
His hand released Feng Ran's neck, and he gently touched her face, speaking with a bloodthirsty tone, "This king has made arrangements for you. You will be sent to the military camp."
"I believe that will be the best arrangement for you."
Xuan Yuanheng said with bloodthirsty intent, "It seems this king's heart hasn't been ruthless enough these days."
"That's why you've grown so bold, daring to defy this king's wishes."
After speaking, Xuan Yuanheng's hand fell to Feng Ran's slender waist.
He directly flung Feng Ran away, took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands clean, and then casually tossed the handkerchief aside.
The carriage continued to move. Feng Ran lay slumped on the carriage floor, her eyes filled with terror and fear.
He said he would send her to the military camp.
No, she couldn't. She absolutely couldn't.
That was not a place fit for humans.
If she were truly sent there, she would likely be tormented to death.
If she were sent to the military camp, she might as well die now.
Feng Ran looked at Xuan Yuanheng in horror, contemplating how she could escape this ordeal.
Seeing Feng Ran's extremely terrified expression, Xuan Yuanheng was completely satisfied.
Heh, indeed, it was still so effective.
...
When the carriage finally stopped, Feng Ran's heart was suspended in mid-air. She thought that if she were sent to the military camp, she might as well bite off her tongue.
Just as she was about to do so, Xuan Yuanheng's chilling voice sounded in her ear again.
"Don't do anything foolish, look clearly before you speak."
"If you bite your tongue, then everyone in Chun Manyuan will have to accompany you to their deaths. Feng Ran, you must think carefully about what you want to do."
"Feng Ran, remember, obey this king's words."
"Next time, this king will not be so easy to deal with."
Xuan Yuanheng said chillingly.
Feng Ran stopped all her actions. She knew very well that everything Xuan Yuanheng said was true.
And she was even more convinced that Xuan Yuanheng would definitely act on his words.
At this moment, she knew very well that whatever she said, whatever she did, what could she do?
Could she change anything that was happening? The answer was certainly no.
Chun Manyuan.
Feng Ran instantly felt a sense of relief, even a feeling of escaping a disaster.
Xuan Yuanheng had pulled her by the wrist and led her directly into a private room. As for what others would think, how they would view it, she didn't need to guess to know.
