Chapter 2181 - Untitled

The girl had been very lively and wouldn’t stop asking questions. It felt as if nothing could strike her down.

But now, she was very quiet.

She would still smile back at him, but it wouldn’t be a wholehearted smile. He felt that they were only strangers walking past each other on the street.

He asked her, “Are you nervous?”

Feng Wu looked perplexed.

He wrapped his hand around Feng Wu’s.

“Your hand’s cold.” Jun Linyuan frowned. “What are you worried about? Everything’s been planned out. When the fighting starts, hide behind Feng.”

Feng Wu shook her head. “I’m not nervous.”

Jun Linyuan pinched her nose. “Are you sure?”

Feng Wu beamed at him. “On the contrary, I’m very excited. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen.”

That was a genuine smile.

Jun Linyuan felt his whole world light up.

He rubbed Feng Wu’s head. “Good! It’s going to be great!”

Zhao Jia was waiting for them halfway up the mountain.

“Your Royal Highness, Miss Wu.” Zhao Jia smiled obsequiously.

Feng Wu looked like she couldn’t suppress her excitement. “Take us there! I want to see the edgeless pool. I’ll sit in the hot spring and enjoy the view! It’s going to be so exciting!”

Zhao Jia smiled and said, “I’m glad that you like the idea. Are you sure this is going to be alright? Shall I bring more guards? We can’t afford to have anything happen to His Royal Highness.”

Feng Wu glared at him. “Nonsense! I’ll kill you if you tell another soul!”

Zhao Jia smiled wryly, “But, my lady…”

Feng Wu waved him off in an arrogant way. “If news gets out, what if His Majesty wants to take a bath? We won’t be able to use the pool then. So, just keep your mouth shut and do as you’re told!”

Zhao Jia had no choice but to say yes.

Feng Wu saw the box he was carrying over his shoulder and asked curiously, “What’s that on your back?”

Zhao Jia whispered, “It’s Red Monkey Wine.”

Feng Wu asked, “What’s that?”

Zhao Jia gloated. “The so-called Monkey Wine comes from the fruit which the monkeys stash away for the winter.

“However, if they have enough food during that season, they’ll forget about all the fruit they stored away.

“The fruit ferments in the tree holes and becomes fruit wine, which is what we call Monkey Wine.

“Red Monkey Wine is made from the fruit collected by red monkeys. They’re the king of the monkeys, and they pick the best fruit. Needless to say, their fruit makes the best wine.

“You can find the normal Monkey Wine in other places, but the Red Monkey Wine is our specialty.”

Zhao Jia patted the wine bottle on his shoulder and chuckled, “You can drink this wine as you sit in the hot spring and enjoy the view. It’ll be wonderful.”

“Wow!” Feng Wu grew very excited. She took Zhao Jia’s hand and said, “I didn’t know that you could be so considerate. I’ll thank you later. I can’t wait to jump into the hot spring.”
