Unforgettable Emperor's Favor Chapter 39.1

Published at 11th of May 2023 02:48:41 PM

Yu Qingjia and Murong Yan were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally took a step back.

Murong Yan let go of the book, and Yu Qingjia also got up from the desk.

Once she got the things, Yu Qingjia immediately rolled the scroll up and hugged it tightly.

She was afraid that Murong Yan would snatch it back again without keeping his word.

He's definitely the type who would do this kind of thing.

It can't be blamed on Yu Qingjia for acting like she's facing a formidable enemy.

Murong Yan obviously had a bad track record.

He never felt like keeping a promise, even though he's already sworn to do so.

As long as the situation is favorable to him, he can always unilaterally modify or even overturn an agreement.

In fact, although Murong Yan had a low moral bottom line, he wasn't too idle to just casually read a woman's note.

If it's just anyone, even if they spread it out in front of him, he would be too lazy to sweep up a glance.

He just inadvertently opened the scroll and saw the words that Yu Qingjia had written on it, and only then did he suddenly realize that he knew nothing about her before.

'What kind of person was Yu Qingjia before he appeared?'

'What kind of things did she experience?'

'Who did she meet?'

He really did not know anything.

Murong Yan didn't like this feeling very much.

His desire to control is far more serious than he shows.

If he likes something, he will possess it, and if he can't get it, he will destroy it.

Even if it's destroyed, he will never let his belongings fall into the hands of others.

Obviously, Yu Qingjia is now classified as “His belongings” by Murong Yan.

Due to Murong Yan's beautiful appearance, and clear and sonorous voice, he became extremely indistinguishable from a woman.

So ever since he was a child, most people say his voice was so beautiful, and he looks like a woman.

Murong Yan was reputed for being excellent in both literature, and martial arts, had a ruthless character, and was especially good at fighting.

So these kinds of words are often prohibited to be said in front of him.

In fact, Murong Yan also knows that those people in the Night City will never dare to say it again in front of him, but they would still think that he is an overly beautiful man in private.

One can only imagine how violent Murong Yan must have been before he agreed to go to Qingzhou as a woman.

When he first arrived in Guangling, he was still wearing Unisex Hu clothing, and refused to change into women's clothing at all.

This is his own form of resistance, and Yu Qingjia bumped into him at this stage.

Since someone purposely came to him to rub him, so of course he wouldn't be soft-hearted.

Yu Qingjia was so angry, and cried several times, but she would always take the initiative to provoke him. 

Her own reaction was like that of a martyr's fear of her own husband every time.

Anyways, Murong Yan also gradually got used to Yu Qingjia's existence around him.

So after they got attacked, when they returned to Yanzhou, and narrowly escaped the pursuit using Yu Qingjia's cover-up, it became a wake-up call for him.

Murong Yan clearly understood that he is still a fugitive, and his uncle will definitely hunt and kill him at any cost.

Winner is King, the weak are always prey to the strong, and Murong Yan feels that this is how the world should be.

He could coldly watch the old and weak children being dumped in the cold for their weakness, so when the same cold law of competition fell on him, he would only be surprised momentarily and then he would accept it smoothly.

Either die or endure, this decision is not very difficult for him to make.

At the Inn in Xisong Town, Murong Yan decided to change into a long, wide-sleeved dress with a knee-length curtain hat.

In fact, the upper jacket and lower skirt are more suitable for concealing his identity.

Foreign people, both men and women, respect the ancient ritual of wearing an upper jacket and lower skirt, with the sleeves and skirt being wide on the top.

A man's skeletal structure would become even more concealed if he changed into such loose clothing, plus Murong Yan's appearance was already indistinguishable from a male and a female's.

Apart from the fact that he was much taller than any ordinary woman, nothing else could be seen.

Apart from some eccentric people who had some grotesque and strange hobbies, the orthodox Chinese style of clothing are very similar in form for both men and women.

The only difference is probably that women's dresses are often fancier, and they also wear intercolor skirts.

Murong Yan was in a filial piety stage, and he was also disdainful when it came to these fancy things.

(T/N: It was customary for children in ancient china to wear white or plain colors for at least three years after their parents death. Murong Yan's family were massacred 2 years ago.)This annoying watermark is not there.

So Murong Yan's clothes were mostly plain and white.

Unmarried women are not allowed to tie their hair up in a bun, and their hair should hang down naturally.

So Murong Yan only needed to tie up his hair in a casual way, and he is still stepping on the edge of being suitable for men and women.

As long as he is not approached by others under any preconceptions, then few people will suspect in this direction.

Murong Yan covered himself up tightly, and also did his best to not expose a single strand of Yu Qingjia's hair.

He's been through a lot of hardships along the way on his way from Qingzhou to Yanzhou.

He had to pay attention to any pursuers running after him, and he even had to take good care of Yu Qingjia along the way.

So when they finally arrived at Yanzhou, Murong Yan's patience with Yu Qingjia had been tempered to an unprecedented level.

However, when Yu Qingjia casually mentioned the matter of marriage at the Immeasurable Temple, Murong Yan felt as if his territory had been violated, and he was on the verge of losing control.

He realized that it's not a good thing to be accustomed to him and be accepted by him.

However, Murong Yan clearly gave her a couple of chances to walk away.

The first time was when they met those two assassins in the mountain forest, another one was when he almost lost his control in the immeasurable temple, and lastly, it was when he killed Liao Zheng and returned, he even took the initiative to expose his identity.

Any one of these times, if Yu Qingjia only left or escaped even once, she could have totally escaped from him with her life.
