Lust, like Vengeance, Demands Red 4 Know Thy Enemy

He never saw a single sign of madness in this daughter of his.

unless...Feng Yuan stared at her

Noticing his expression Zhi Rui sighed and stretched her hand across the table.

Feng Yuan harshly seized her pulse. Inspecting every inch of her body including her inner core. He couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.

With his level of strength, she can't hide anything from him.

but even so, he doubted.

"who are you?

Zhi Rui mocked.

"What? Father meets me every three years, and you can't recognize your daughter?"

Zhi Rui laughed and said

"I understand your feelings, the idea that the rabbit at your side was a crocodile all along. is ridiculous and hard to accept. Even more for you, since you evolved a sense of self-importance and wisdom by manipulating those soldiers that can barely read. It must've been a shock.

Ignoring the blackness on Feng Yuan face, Zhi Rui put on a resigned face.

"In truth, with my head, it's impossible to not see the things around me, I want it to be a lie. so I ran to the light hoping to find something there.

even though I knew that was only a lamp the father kept dangling at my face, I still hoped.

"It turned out hope is the most poisonous venom there is.

so I decided to live whatever the way I fancied."

Adjusting her seating position, Zhi Rui continued.

"Now, dad. its time for business, The emperor will summon you soon.

And since you successfully used me. you can ask for anything almost.

Now, I don't care what you ask for.

but when people ask about me you'll say: "She is aggrieved, but didn't give up her path, and will continue to get strong in her own way." Of course, if father has other plans and wants to use me in any of them, I can only caution, you won't succeed.

Feng Yuan aggressively stood breaking the table in half.

"Do you think you're what?! you're my daughter! if I want you to live you live! If I want you to die you die! tomorrow you'll be engaged. And if I have to drug you and put on his bed I will do it! Do you really think you can choose?!

The pressure of Feng yuan is strong but even with her body trembling and nose bleeding, Zhi Rui mocked.

"Really, talking with slow people is annoying. If you do that I will kill my fiance, and you'll be the father of a criminal, making you lose all your merits. If I can not kill my fiance, then I'll give my ass on the main street market of the capital to all the men there. an again you'll be the father of a whore and lose everything.

Zhi Rui clenched her teeth enduring the pressure and roared

"Understood old dog?! Do you need proof of my resolution?! just take a whiff and you'll feel the brain smell of the man who raised me!

Feng Yuan was enraged and choked. he couldn't put a word out of his mouth, he kept staring at her expressions looking for a single sign of weakness, but he couldn't!

Indeed he wanted to use her and guarantee his position for at least the next century. now he has to drop it? just like that, a century of security gone just like that? Because of this woman's bullshit ?! He is not willing!

He wanted to beat her up lock her in the bedroom and settle the marriage. but he can't bet! if she did do something, then not only will he lost everything, he might be beheaded with her.

Feng Yuan clenched his fists. how dare this mere thing block the ambitions of the great!

But looking at her casual expression he gulped all his emotions down.

He doesn't fear ruthlessness or strong people.

He fears the mad, unknown, those willing to bet everything on a dice throw.

He can't fight head-on. he is bounded by his image on the country.

but she's willing to give her everything up. From the beginning, this wasn't a winnable fight. He has lost and needs to retreat for now. she is his daughter, living in his house, spending his money. She's under his nose.

today I was caught unaware thus suffered a loss.

retreat, for now, observe and get to know the enemy.

decided on his resolution, Feng Yuan started to probe

"If you married into the next emperor, this house would have at least another stable century. and you're putting your worthless wishes above that?"

Zhi Rui laughed out loud

"What is this? is it dad's turn to speak nonsense now? Of course, I'll put my ambitions above yours, as for this clan. as I increase my strength the overall clan's strength will also rise. you don't need to worry about that. after all, I'm still too beautiful and will need this clans protection and resources."

Zhi Rui sighed and stood up

"it's getting late I need to go, after all, I didn't dress up for nothing."

Before opening the door she looked at the gloomy man and spoke as if soothing a child.

"Don't worry daddy you're still a big powerful man, even though you can't control your daughter. also, when you clean up the mess I made, tell aunt That I couldn't bear the shock and went for a walk around the city hehe."

Zhi Rui got out without looking back.

Rage, mockery, disdain, loathing Feng Yuan swallowed everything.

he's ultimately a successful general and acts rationally

there's no profit in killing her, he cannot punish her. dirting her image now will only harm him too. but he also can not let her too free

Even if she affirmed his probe of needing the clan's power, what about once she becomes strong?

but thinking how since young she had ordinary talent, and all these years wasted waiting for the light sect, her cultivation will be much slower.

immediately he felt some relief

there's time. No need to rush, eventually he would make her pay for today

Feng Yuan stifled his feelings scratching on his skin. And started thinking about what to say to Arthur's wife.

As for Arthur death? he only mourns the need to look for another aide.
