Mission: Seduce the Master! - Chapter 295

Chapter 295: Yu Longfeng mating period [II]
Mei Feng words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, causing Xie Qing’s and Yu Longfeng’s brains to stop functioning for several minutes.

“Hm?”

They exchanged glances and then looked at Mei Feng with an expression that said, “Are you out of your mind, old woman?” However, the Empress of Swords merely responded with indifference.

Only then did Xie Qing realize.

“Damn, she’s not joking…”

Covering his face with his hand, the man let out a deep sigh, while Yu Longfeng looked as if she had lost touch with reality.

The situation was so awkward that even the brazen Xie Qing couldn’t say anything. He couldn’t even defend his Great Master.

Nevertheless, the man spoke first, with a clear look of bewilderment on his face.

“Great Master… with all due respect, but… what is the point of this?” the man said, his face wrinkling like a raisin. “I, for one… don’t really understand why the Empress and I should go to such lengths…”

“Huh? Are you serious? Are you serious right now, kid?” Mei Feng surprisingly reacted with irritation. She pointed at him and added with a frown, “I’ve already figured out something about your bloodline. And Yu Longfeng has the bloodline of the silver dragon, and your connection…”

“Wait a moment…”

Xie Qing sighed, raising his hand. He looked puzzled at the agitated Mei Feng, who seemed to have found something interesting. The man took a deep breath and continued.

“I understand, of course, but… you should consider our opinions. And I am absolutely against sharing a bed just to increase power if it’s not absolutely necessary,” said Xie Qing. He sighed and leaned back on the sofa, putting his hand on his forehead and glancing at the Empress, who was silently listening to them. “Besides, the Empress is the main woman of the Dynasty, the sole ruler. There are laws and orders. The Empress cannot share a bed before marriage…”

“Huh?”

Xie Qing wearily rubbed his eyebrows. He didn’t even need to look at Mei Feng’s face. He was sure it had a puzzled expression, like, “Should I care?”

“Ha-a-a…”

Yu Longfeng took a deep breath. It seemed she had come to her senses after Xie Qing tried to explain something to Mei Feng but failed.

“Great Sword. The ancestor of our clan was indebted to you, and I, as his descendant, have taken on the responsibility to fulfill your whims and satisfy them to repay the debt, but…” Yu Longfeng hesitated when Mei Feng’s gaze focused on her, but then continued, “However, I do not intend to share a bed with anyone. I am too young.”

“KHA, KHA, KHA!”

“…”

Yu Longfeng turned her head to Xie Qing, who was coughing loudly. The man was patting his chest because he had choked on his tea.

The woman’s eyes narrowed coldly.

“Do you disagree with something?”

Xie Qing innocently tilted his head to the side.

“What are you talking about?”

***

In any case, the topic of the mating period was postponed to another time. Mei Feng, having heard the opinions of both sides, merely shrugged.

Although Xie Qing could tell that his Great Master was still interested in seeing their union. How did he know?

“Great Master…”

“Hm? What is it?”

“Listen… did you accidentally mix up the boulder? This one… is twice as heavy as before…”

“No, it’s correct. Keep running.”

“Kh…”

Xie Qing grunted, carrying a boulder of ordinary size on his back, but… this stone weighed 400,000 tons, or maybe even more.

So, instead of running, Xie Qing could barely manage to carry this thing on his back and still walk.

Mei Feng snorted, watching his suffering. And Yu Longfeng, sitting next to her, sighed.

“Why are you doing this?”

“He spoiled my fun,” Mei Feng snorted.

“You’re not a child…”

Yu Longfeng covered her face with her hand. Although she had long known about the Empress of Swords’ strange character, she could not imagine that the situation was so bad.

Moreover, seeing Xie Qing suffer, she felt a sense of guilt.

Mei Feng, apparently sensing this, sighed and scratched her head, explaining the situation.

“I’m joking. Do you think I’m that crazy? I just noticed that it was easy for him to lift 200 tons, so I decided to make it harder,” the woman said and lay down on her back, looking at the sky. “In any case, I advise you to find a partner soon, preferably with a dragon bloodline. This will help you strengthen yourself and increase your cultivation level. If you find a technique, you will easily overcome the restrictions and increase your cultivation level to the ninth stage.”

“I know, but…” Yu Longfeng hesitated and, after a brief silence, sighed and voiced her doubts. “I can’t just choose a partner. I am the Empress first and foremost and must take care of the Dynasty.”

“I’m not insisting. Just a piece of advice,” Mei Feng added and sighed, looking at the clouds. “And, sooner or later, you will have to find a partner. This is not for the sake of developing the clan. Otherwise, your cultivation level will remain the same. Your ancestor faced the same situation.”

“You… are serious?”

Yu Longfeng widened her eyes in disbelief.

The ancestor who founded the Dynasty was a dragon, a pureblood. Many believe, and legends say, that he was a golden dragon. But in reality, the founder was a silver dragon.

It is unknown why history recorded that he was a golden dragon. However, since it was too late to change anything, everyone got used to it.

“That’s right. Zhao Yu was a silver dragon, and his race is cursed to serve the golden dragons. Therefore, after a certain age, the mating period begins, which will last until the silver dragon merges with a golden dragon,” Mei Feng explained calmly and then added, “Of course, you, his descendant, do not have such a strong curse. You just need to find someone with a dragon bloodline.”

“This…”

Yu Longfeng frowned, feeling a sharp discontent. Well, this was natural, because in essence, her future as a cultivator was no longer even in her hands. And all because of a strange curse.

She turned her head to Xie Qing and sighed.

“And he… is a golden dragon?” the Empress asked with a helpless sigh.

“To be precise, he only has a small part of the dragon bloodline. But even so, your merging will help both of you increase your cultivation level.”

Mei Feng stretched lazily and patted Yu Longfeng on the shoulder.

“Of course, it’s up to you. I just decided to warn you, since you are the descendant of my old acquaintance.”

Yu Longfeng bit her lip, and her expression became helpless. As a cultivator, she wanted to reach the peak and see the world of immortals. No matter how much she loved the Dynasty, the woman did not want to remain in eternal rule.

“Merge… with him? I don’t know any other dragon bloodline holders. But he is still so young… ugh…”

Yu Longfeng rubbed her forehead. The age difference… that’s what was stopping her. Although Xu Mei was shameless and didn’t care about such subtleties, the Empress was particularly sensitive to this.

Considering that she was a princess, they tried to send her as a “gift” to neighboring countries, where her groom could be an old monster…

“Damn it…”

The Empress was deep in thought, and Xie Qing…

“I’m hungry…”
