Han Soi stood in the courtyard for a long time, the cold wind biting at the red mark on his cheek where his father had struck him.
Slowly, the raw fury in his eyes began to settle into a focused calm. He looked toward the inner sanctum of the temple.
His father was here.
The Second Prince of the Land Empire was here.
He could not allow anyone to hurt Yue Yue or his son.
He took a deep breath, composed his messy thoughts, and walked toward the inner sanctum.
His heart was heavy with the burden of protection.
When he reached Yue Yue’s room, he opened the door quietly, expecting to find her resting in peace.
Instead, his blood turned to ice.
Yue Yue was indeed sleeping soundly, her hand resting protectively on the egg incubator.
But she was not alone. Lying right beside her, with an arm draped possessively over her waist and his head leaning against her shoulder, was Feng Yansheng.
The holy High Priest looked entirely too comfortable, his eyes closed as he shared her warmth.
Han Soi felt a sharp, stinging pain in his chest. Looking at them, he felt like a total outsider.
They looked like a perfect couple, sharing a quiet moment with their child. Why does he always outdo me? Han Soi thought bitterly.
I am her first husband, the father of that egg, yet he acts like he owns the very air she breathes.
He wanted to grab Feng Yansheng by his throat and drag him off that bed. But he knew that if he started a fight now, he would wake Yue Yue and potentially stress the egg.
Controlling his trembling hands, he walked to the other side of the bed. He kicked off his boots and lay down.
This is better, he told himself, closing his eyes. I am here. I will not let him have her all to himself.
As soon as Han Soi’s breathing evened out, Feng Yansheng’s eyes snapped open.
A faint smile curved at the corner of his lips.
Brother... It would be so much easier if you simply accepted me.
His gaze flicked briefly toward Han Soi before returning to Yue Yue.
Because if you do not... I have plenty of ways to make your life miserable. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
He shifted slightly closer, careful not to wake her, breathing in her familiar scent. It calmed him in a way nothing else ever had.
She was his carving person. The one his instincts responded to without restraint.
If you do not try to push me away... I could even tolerate that filthy snake.
His eyes darkened slightly.
After all, he did not want to force Yue Yue into a divorce. Her reputation was everything. He wanted her to be in the apex position, the woman standing above everyone else in the empire.
He looked at the egg nestled between them. A new, stir crazy thought began to grow in his mind.
It would be truly perfect if my own egg could join this one, he mused. Two brothers, growing up together.
As the High Priest, he was bound to the temple until he could produce an heir of the Phoenix Clan to take his place.
If Yue Yue could give him a child, a powerful Phoenix heir, he would finally be free. He could leave the temple’s boring rituals behind and travel the world with her, exploring every corner of the land while their offspring guarded the sacred halls.
Without realizing it, he began to press his entire body against her back, his heat radiating through her thin clothes. freewebnoveℓ.com
In her sleep, Yue Yue began to stir. To her, it felt like she was trapped in a dream where a giant, hot wall was slowly crushing her. She felt suffocated by a warm, heavy breath on her neck.
"Too hot..." she mumbled in her sleep.
She tried to push the wall away, her elbow digging sharply into Feng Yansheng’s stomach.
The priest did not budge.
Instead, the small movement only made him pull her closer. He felt a sudden, intense surge of desire, a dark, primal urge to claim her right then and there.
His large hand wandered down, coming to rest on her flat, empty stomach.
His mind filled with a singular, dangerous goal, to lay his own seed inside her.
He wanted to fill the space beneath his palm with his own life force, to bind her to him forever through a bloodline that would surpass even the Winged Serpent Clan.
Soon, he thought, his eyes glowing with a predatory light in the dim room. A week is plenty of time to make you mine, my female master.
Feng Yansheng looked at the sleeping figure in his arms.
For a moment, his expression softened. Then...
A small, sharp glint flashed through his eyes.
"...Tch."
His gaze shifted to the egg incubator resting between them.
This is troublesome.
"I cannot exactly do what I want with a cub watching," he thought with faint annoyance.
With a casual flick of his fingers...
Gone.
The incubator vanished without a sound.
So clean, so sudden, that Han Soi, still resting with his eyes closed, did not sense a thing.
The egg had already been transferred into Feng Yansheng’s personal Domain Space, a legendary ability possessed only by beings at the very peak of power.
Unlike ordinary storage spaces, his domain could sustain living creatures.
The cub will be fine there, he decided calmly. Much safer, actually.
"...Children should not witness indecent things," he mused lazily. "It is for his own good."
Now that the third wheel was gone, Feng Yansheng shifted closer.
He buried himself into the crook of Yue Yue’s neck, inhaling softly.
Ah... this scent.
His large, warm hand slipped beneath the hem of her dress, his palm brushing against her cool skin.
"...Mm."
A satisfied breath left his lips as his hand rested on her stomach, slowly moving, unhurried, as if savoring the moment.
Yue Yue, still trapped in her dream of being pressed against a hot wall, let out a soft, unconscious gasp.
"...Hah..."
The sound was tiny.
But in the quiet room...
It was deafening.
Han Soi’s eyes flew open.
"What..."
He sat up sharply and froze. His vision went red as he looked at the scene.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Han Soi roared, his voice shaking with pure disbelief and fury.
