Pressure Mountain High

"Hmm..."

Xie Yuyan rubbed her sleepy eyes and realized she had somehow fallen asleep on Ye Feng's bed.

"Huh? How... how did I end up on Ye Feng's bed? I remember now."

Xie Yuyan vaguely recalled that after Ye Feng left, she had been in a state of high tension. The quiet room suddenly felt less comfortable and reassuring without him. The real reason she could sleep soundly and not feel anxious was because Ye Feng was by her side.

Ye Feng was like a soothing medicine, bringing her comfort in her lowest and most painful moments.

Xie Yuyan had several times wanted to go out and look for Ye Feng, but every time she grabbed her personal weapon and placed her hand on the doorknob, she remembered what Ye Feng had said before leaving and hesitated. Eventually, she let go of the doorknob and sat back down on the sofa.

However, as time passed, Xie Yuyan's rapid breathing felt like a volcano ready to erupt.

Why... why hasn't Ye Feng come back yet? Was he discovered by the organization? Or did he think I was a burden and leave me...

Ye Feng... Ye Feng... please come back soon...

No one could have predicted that the once cold-blooded assassin would have such a fragile side, a sudden and abrupt change that occurred in an instant.

Xie Yuyan's body seemed to move on its own as she stood up from the sofa and staggered toward Ye Feng's room.

As soon as she entered, she noticed that Ye Feng's room was very simple and tidy, with nothing but some wallpaper to prevent the walls from peeling. The bed was neatly made, almost as if no one had ever slept in it. If it weren't for Ye Feng's scent, Xie Yuyan might have thought he didn't exist at all.

"Ye Feng..."

Xie Yuyan sniffed the air with her sharp nose and, upon catching Ye Feng's scent, she was almost spellbound. She climbed onto Ye Feng's bed and, lying there, felt her anxiety and unease ease. A drowsy feeling crept over her.

"So... so comfortable..."

Xie Yuyan closed her eyes involuntarily and soon fell into a steady sleep.

......

"Ugh..."

Xie Yuyan, pulling her thoughts back, sat up on the bed with messy hair.

Through the slight gap in the curtains, a bit of light spilled onto Xie Yuyan's smooth, white shoulders. The oversized T-shirt Ye Feng had given her was almost slipping off, exposing her shoulders. Her muscular yet elastic thighs were smooth and tender, glowing with health.

At that moment, Ye Feng's voice came from the doorway.

"Yo, awake now? The bed is pretty comfortable, huh?"

"Ye Feng?"

Xie Yuyan turned her head and saw Ye Feng at the doorway, suddenly grinning foolishly. She groped her way down from the bed, her little feet stepping on the floor as she gradually walked towards Ye Feng.

"Hey, hurry up and change your clothes. You're in a pretty dangerous state right now."

Seeing Xie Yuyan's revealing appearance, Ye Feng quickly turned his head. Although he wasn't easily swayed by beauty, he was still a man! Watching the alluring Xie Yuyan, he couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

"Did you hear me, Xie Yuyan? Don't come any closer..."

Before Ye Feng could finish, he thought Xie Yuyan was going to step outside, so he made way for her. But instead of leaving, Xie Yuyan hugged him.

"Thud~"

Ye Feng first felt something heavy pressing against his chest, then Xie Yuyan's warm body pressed against him.

The hot breath kept hitting Ye Feng's neck as Xie Yuyan closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around Ye Feng's neck, and rubbed her head against him.

"Hehe, this Ye Feng is so realistic. Even illusions can be this vivid, huh~"

Illusion? Did this silly woman think she was dreaming?

"Xie Yuyan, you're not dreaming. Can you please control yourself?"

"Nonsense! If you were real, how could I not have noticed when you opened the door! I'm an assassin~"

"Ouch."

Xie Yuyan winced and covered her head, finding Ye Feng had knocked her head with a fist.

"Does it hurt?"

"A little..."

"That's right."

"What's... huh!"

Xie Yuyan blinked and looked up at Ye Feng she was hugging, then looked down at the "pressure" she was putting on him.

"......"

"Now you finally realize..."

Before Ye Feng could finish, he felt a strong force push him out of the doorway, followed by the loud slam of the door.

"......"

"Hey, this is my room."

"I know!"

"I bought your clothes back."

"I know!!"

"Remember to tidy up the sheets later."

"Please stop talking!!! I want to be alone."

"Who's Jingjing?"

"Bang"

Ye Feng's door emitted a loud bang, even causing the hinge to loosen a bit. Ye Feng quickly shut up, no longer joking.

Ahem...

If that punch landed on someone, they'd die, wouldn't they?

At that moment, Ye Feng's phone vibrated. Picking it up, he saw the caller was Ah Fu.

No way, did the young lady have another tantrum? This is malicious overtime!

Although Ye Feng was reluctant, thinking of Li Mucheng's unfinished task, he had to answer the call.

"Hello?"

"Ye Feng, I have something important to discuss with you."

"Is the young lady sick again?"

"Can't you say something nice? Besides, the young lady values you so much; others would be thrilled. You, on the other hand, just want to leave early."

"Alright, alright, get to the point."

"The master has instructed that you must go to a place tomorrow to meet someone."

"Who?"

"I can't tell you that. Just go."

"What do you mean you can't tell me? It feels like you're setting up a trap. Spit it out; otherwise, I won't go."

"Sigh, fine, fine. But don't say I told you, alright?"

Ah Fu's voice on the other end became much quieter.

"The young lady of the Su family wants to meet you."

"The young lady of the Su family? Who is that? I don't know her."

Ye Feng asked in confusion, quickly going through his memory to confirm he didn't know this person.

"I don't know either. She specifically asked for you. I've sent you the address. Remember to go tomorrow."

Perhaps afraid Ye Feng would ask more questions, Ah Fu quickly ended the call, leaving Ye Feng standing there, unsure of what to say.

Tsk, how did another young lady from the Su family suddenly appear? So troublesome...

Wait! The Su family?!

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
