Chapter 1494 - 1489: I Can Give You the City Defense Map
"Miss Shuangshuang, I’ve got matters in the city, so I won’t be having the black chicken soup. Please take good care of this important guest, and make sure nothing goes wrong, okay?"
City Lord Ye Fantian ignored Mu Shuangshuang’s awkwardness.
He spoke these words calmly and unhurriedly.
After speaking, he didn’t give Mu Shuangshuang any chance to think and left the room.
In the room, for a moment, only Mu Shuangshuang and Shen Feng were left, the atmosphere as awkward as it could be.
Mu Shuangshuang remembered how she had kicked him out last time to avoid trouble.
And recalled how she deliberately tormented him when applying medicine!
Oh no, did she offend a big man?
The expressions on Mu Shuangshuang’s face changed dramatically, although Shen Feng still remained expressionless.
But the increasingly gentle eyes betrayed him!
"Should I call you Shen Feng or Second Prince?"
As soon as Mu Shuangshuang spoke, her voice was remarkably calm.
"Up to you! Call me whatever you like!"
Shen Feng’s attitude was exceedingly magnanimous.
Mu Shuangshuang felt slightly relieved, but at this moment, countless thoughts were flashing through her mind.
The quickest was to flee quickly.
This place wasn’t suitable to linger.
Since Shen Feng had become the Second Prince of the Wei Kingdom, her petty matters couldn’t be concealed.
Shen Feng clearly knew what Mu Shuangshuang was thinking, yet he didn’t expose her.
"Shen Feng, now that you’re the Second Prince, why did you join us on the escort mission back then?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"What about you? You don’t lack money; why did you join the escort mission?"
Today, Shen Feng seemed especially talkative.
Not at all like before, Mu Shuangshuang remembered when she spoke ten sentences, he could respond with one if she was lucky.
How unlike now, when she spoke, he would also respond, sometimes even more than her!
"I may not lack money, but I love it!" Mu Shuangshuang lied with wide open eyes.
"Otherwise, how do you think I ended up at the City Lord Mansion in Ye City, working as a cook?"
"You’re not here to be a cook; you have another purpose in Ye City!" Shen Feng said.
Oh come on, brother, being too straightforward isn’t good!
She still cares about her own face!
Mu Shuangshuang protested in her heart.
On the surface, however, she still kept smiling.
"Second Prince is really joking. I’m here to make extra money, is that not allowed? Does one have to be a Da Wei person to be a cook at the City Lord Mansion? If not, I’ll leave right away!"
Saying this, Mu Shuangshuang stood up, prepared to fish in troubled waters, take this opportunity to leave.
The city defense map, she didn’t want it anymore; as long as she’s alive, there will be a city defense map and the merit that comes with it.
"Wait a minute!"
Shen Feng spoke again to stop Mu Shuangshuang.
"What is it?" Mu Shuangshuang asked Shen Feng patiently.
"You want the city defense map?" Shen Feng looked at Mu Shuangshuang with certainty.
Mu Shuangshuang’s heart was startled; her motive, was it discovered by this monster so quickly?
"I don’t understand what you’re saying, what map are you talking about? I’m here at the City Lord Mansion to be a cook, just for money. If you think I’m unsuitable, I won’t do it!"
Mu Shuangshuang explained with a forced smile.
But Shen Feng spoke again, "Stop pretending, I know all about your matters!"
"..."
Mu Shuangshuang got goosebumps; she thought this Shen Feng must have some strange disease.
Why talk to her about these?
Here, Mu Shuangshuang was getting annoyed, wondering how to wrap up this matter.
Shen Feng spoke again, "I can give you Ye City’s city defense map!"
"What?" Mu Shuangshuang stared at Shen Feng.
"I can give you Ye City’s city defense map!" Shen Feng explained to Mu Shuangshuang again.
"Are you crazy? What city defense map? I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
Mu Shuangshuang was still being stubborn, although she didn’t know why Shen Feng knew everything.
However, he actually suggested giving the city defense map to her!
He truly was the Second Prince of Da Wei.
"You’ve been in Ye City for a few days; you should know the rules of Da Wei people! Since I’ve said it, naturally I’ll do it!"
The implication was to tell Mu Shuangshuang to stop pretending.
Mu Shuangshuang coughed softly, trying to collect her thoughts.
She wasn’t familiar with Shen Feng, was she?
She saved him, but that wasn’t a big deal. Even if he didn’t come to her, he wouldn’t die, only suffer some flesh wounds, and in the end, he’d be as lively as ever.
Since his words have reached this point, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t stand to be pretentious anymore.
She said to Shen Feng, "Since you say so, I’ll be direct! I am indeed here for the city defense map!
Such an important thing, are you really willing to give it to me?"
"On one condition!"
"What condition?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"Marry me!" Shen Feng still spoke in that cold tone.
But when he said this, he himself felt a bit nervous.
Mu Shuangshuang took a cold breath and then sneered. She said to Shen Feng, "Get lost! Do you think I’d give up my happiness just to get some lousy map?
Shen Feng, what do you really think of me, Mu Shuangshuang? Just marry you for such a worthless thing?
Let me tell you, stop daydreaming, in this life, I could never marry you!"
The more she thought, the angrier she became, and the angrier she got, the more she wanted to act.
Mu Shuangshuang glared fiercely at Shen Feng.
Truth be told, Shen Feng wasn’t happy being rejected.
But Mu Shuangshuang’s attitude made him feel that he hadn’t chosen wrong.
Because, regarding this matter, if it were him, he wouldn’t agree either.
However, there was still something Shen Feng needed to say.
"If you get the city defense map of the Wei Kingdom, our Da Wei army will withdraw from Ye City! The previous ceasefire agreement remains in effect! From now on, as long as you live, Da Wei and..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Mu Shuangshuang interrupted someone’s daydream.
"The Second Prince speaks as if he’s the one in charge, don’t forget, Da Wei isn’t your world yet!
As for me, just a normal woman, family grudges and national hatred, aren’t mine to bear. Battles are fought by Ning Dynasty soldiers; negotiations are done by court officials; why should I sacrifice myself?"
If in a previous life, due to her profession, Mu Shuangshuang still harbored a heroic dream.
Now, she doesn’t have any dream at all.
Her goal in this life, just one—to live her life well!
Do what can be done, and never force herself for the impossible, live freely and intuitively!
"This isn’t a sacrifice; it’s great love! To exchange the happiness of all for the strength of one, don’t you feel it’s worthwhile?" Shen Feng’s brows knitted slightly; he couldn’t quite understand Mu Shuangshuang.
Didn’t they say Da Ning Dynasty people value feelings the most?
Different from the selfishness of Da Wei.
But why?
Mu Shuangshuang probably guessed what was on Shen Feng’s mind.
She immediately explained, "Although I don’t understand why you’re proposing such absurd reasons, let me ask you, if you love a woman and can die for her, but are asked to marry another to save the world, would you?"
Shen Feng’s answer, of course, was unwilling.
From his expression, Mu Shuangshuang knew his answer.
