Chapter 98: A Woman’s Heart is Unfathomable

Under countless envious stares and a tidal wave of cheers, Xu Feng wasn't feeling the joy everyone imagined. Thing is... Niruis is indeed beautiful; if she stood still, she'd be the most innocent-looking beauty he had ever seen.

But you can't judge things by appearances alone. This girl's personality can't even be described as willful—it's a royal pain. Take Arola, for example; though she has some spice, it's just right. But this Young Princess... if he really married her, who knew if it would be a blessing or a curse? Yet refusing was impossible. Xu Feng also knew the customs of the beastmen. Since the Behemoth King announced it publicly, backing out would be seen as the ultimate insult. In short, whether Xu Feng and Niruis were willing or not, they had been inextricably bound together by the God of Love.

So what was he to do? Xu Feng was equally troubled. He didn't want his future life to be a mess. The only way out was to make this girl fall in love with him. But thinking about the Young Princess's willful personality... it really was an unprecedented challenge!

By chance, Xu Feng and Niruis's gazes met. The Young Princess turned her head away, but Xu Feng had already read a wealth of emotion in her eyes: stubbornness, awkwardness, pride, but deep within those pupils, faintly, there was also a hint of shyness and trepidation.

This willful, capricious Young Princess must be feeling even more conflicted than he was right now!

The night was cool and still, with gentle moonlight casting a hazy veil over everything. The clamor of the day had faded away, and the ancient beastmen fortress regained its tranquil and solemn air.

"Xiaoya!"

Arriving outside his girlfriend's room, Xu Feng gently knocked on the door. Puzzled, he thought: this morning, the girl had been very gentle, making him an aromatic and delicious meal. But after the duel ended, she had inexplicably started ignoring him.

Strange, he clearly hadn't offended her!

The door opened, revealing a beautiful face—it was Arola. However, unlike her smiling, cheerful self this morning, the girl now pouted.

"What's wrong? Who made my baby angry?"

"Hmph." The girl turned her head away, but her dissatisfied mutter drifted into his ears with the breeze: "My Casanova brother, you must be satisfied now. You just arrived and already managed to snag my cousin."

Good grief, so this girl was jealous. But Xu Feng still felt some confusion. The bet—Xiaoya had known about it long ago. Before the match, she had been cheering him on the whole time. Why was she getting jealous now? Hadn't she been encouraging him to win this morning?

A woman's heart is as inscrutable as a needle in the seafloor; Xu Feng really couldn't figure it out.

Arola's seemingly inconsistent reaction actually had its reasons. From the standpoint of the Snake Clan's Young Princess, she naturally opposed that absurd bet. But weighing the pros and cons, she still hoped her boyfriend would win. If Niruis won, given her cousin's personality, her boyfriend would face an utterly miserable outcome.

But reason is one thing; emotion is another. Although polygamy is common on Hailan Star, for her boyfriend to have a marriage pact with her cousin before even meeting her parents... forget Arola's Little Pepper temperament, even a gentle, virtuous girl would find it hard to accept.

As for being so considerate last night and this morning, it was to avoid affecting her boyfriend's duel. Now that everything was over... of course, it was time to settle accounts.

Xu Feng had no idea the little girl had so many thoughts. He wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's slender waist from behind, bringing his lips close to her ear and gently blowing: "Xiaoya, what's really wrong?"

Though he didn't know why she was angry, girls have to be coaxed. Unfortunately, Arola was never a docile girl; she wasn't buying it. She broke free from her boyfriend's embrace. Xu Feng naturally didn't want to let go... but mages are physically weak by nature, and as the Snake Clan's Young Princess, this girl not only had mysterious Secret Arts but also close-quarters combat skills on par with an assassin's. Xu Feng was naturally outmatched.

But... Xu Feng was no pushover either!

If he couldn't hold her slender waist, moving his hands up a bit would do. Feeling her chest being assaulted, Arola blushed and finally stopped struggling, though she still puffed up angrily: "Bad guy, pervert."

Good grief, actually saying that to her own boyfriend. This girl was really getting more and more outrageous. Xu Feng gave her pert bottom a slap—she deserved it!

Though Arola was willful and strong-willed, she was actually tough on the outside but soft inside. As they nestled close, her resentment gradually dissipated.

"Xiaoya, I know you're upset about the Niruis situation, but it's not my fault. You saw the scene back then; it was that girl pressing step by step that led to this outcome."

"But..."

The Young Princess wanted to say more, but Xu Feng didn't give her the chance. He leaned in, sealing his girlfriend's complaints with a kiss. Sometimes, action is more effective than explanation!

At first, Arola resisted a little, but Xu Feng's kissing skills were top-notch; naturally, he didn't give her a chance to dodge. This strong-willed Young Princess finally couldn't withstand his sweet offensive, melting into that soul-stirring kiss.

The atmosphere became amorous. Arola also secretly hated herself for being so weak-willed, but given how things had developed, it clearly wasn't the right time to throw another tantrum at her boyfriend. Yet letting him off like this felt a bit unwilling to let it go.

Seeing his girlfriend's expression soften, a smile appeared at the corner of Xu Feng's mouth, but this wasn't his ultimate goal!

Pressing on, what followed was naturally endless sweet nothings. As an Earthling reborn, Xu Feng's eloquence was beyond doubt... he had watched so many love dramas in his previous life.

Full of tender affection, vowing love even if the seas run dry and rocks crumble. Of course, it wasn't just sweet talk. Xu Feng genuinely liked the girl before him. Though what he said was corny, it was also sincere.

As time passed, it achieved the perfect effect.

"Brother Xu Feng!"

The Young Princess felt all the resentment in her heart vanish, not a trace of grievance left, only sweetness remaining. Her eyes grew hazy. Women are emotional creatures; the ancients truly didn't deceive us.

The girl sweetly rested her head against her boyfriend's chest. As for Xu Feng... this kid was ruining the mood by secretly unbuttoning the girl's clothes.

One button, two buttons...

Arola didn't move. She had already noticed her boyfriend's little moves, but at this moment, the girl was willing. Love really is a wondrous thing. Just a moment ago, she had been sulking with Xu Feng. Who would have thought that now, the two would become intimately close?

For a shy girl, silence is a choice. Xu Feng also understood Arola's nature. Usually, she was a Little Pepper, but now, she would be even more bashful than Xiuer. Two blushes crept onto the girl's cheeks, and she even closed her eyes.

It was already very late. No candles were lit in the room; only moonlight through the floor-to-ceiling window brought a sliver of brightness. Under the gentle moonlight, Arola looked as beautiful as a Goddess, especially that tiny waist, full of allure...

Women of the Snake Clan have the best flexibility among all races.

The light gauze fell. Just after removing his girlfriend's outer garment, Arola pressed down on her boyfriend's hand. Shy, her voice trembled: "Brother Xu Feng, not here. Could you carry me to the bed?"

"Mhm."

Xu Feng smiled. Actually, besides the two of them, there was no one else in the room. The maids had tactfully withdrawn earlier. Xu Feng didn't mind getting intimate on the sofa, but knowing his girlfriend was thin-skinned, he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her. He picked up the lovely girl.

The exquisite canopy bed, covered with a soft, fragrant velvet quilt—this would be yet another romantic and amorous night...
