The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

The thought of how Feng Wu’s reputation would affect her future outcome made her eyes red.
Feng Ting’s legs nearly gave out from under her.

Little did she know, Shui was even more surprised than she was.
How did the drug take affect so fast? She hadn’t intended for Feng Wu to make a fool of herself with the Silver Moon prince! It wasn’t just Feng Wu, this would affect the entire Feng house!

Shui’s face was as pale as a ghost.
She couldn’t even imagine the fallout if anyone knew that the whole thing was her and Bing’s idea.
She was afraid her house would also suffer along with Feng house if the royal family every found it.

After all what was the most important thing for a house? Well reputation of course! Grandfather would ounish her severely if he found out she had anything to do with it.

Shui trembled in fear just thinking about it.
She didn’t know what kind of punishment she would get.
Little did she know the man[notes] next to her wanted to strangle her.

Everyone was suitably shocked, but the Silver Moon prince was about to shock them even more.
The look on Feng Wu’s face had surprised him.
He leaned back and mussed her hair.

“Xiao Wu, what’s wrong?”

“Senior Ming Xi.” Feng Wu uttered his name before burying her face back into his chest, refusing to say more.

Ming Xi had gone home after returning from taking the second-years to train.[notes] While he was home, his father received a call from the ancient eastern countries asking for help.
As a result Ming Xi went to the ancient eastern countries ostensibly as a visitor.

He never expected to see Feng Wu.
Certainly never under such conditions.

From Ming Xi’s understanding of Feng Wu he could tell she’d been wronged.
Her eyes were red and face wasn ’t right.
She didn’t look good.

She appeared stoic and expressionless, but she was actually a sensitive girl and especially susceptible to certain hurts.

“Hey, don’t be sad.
Can you tell me what’s wrong? Maybe I can help.” Ming Xi held her in his arms, trying to comfort her as best he could.

Ming Xi was still holding Feng Wu so had to turn his head to speak to the queen and the princess.
“Your Royal Highness, Princess, please excuse me.
I’ll be leaving first.
There is something I must discuss with my friend.”

No one expected this! This… this… it meant Prince Ming Xi knew Feng Wu, a person with broken cultivation! How was this possible?!

Why her?! What qualifications did this broken cultivator have to know Silver Moon’s future emperor?! Many of the smaller houses were unaware of Feng Wu’s motherhood status, but the bigger houses all knew.
This was because the bigger houses hadn’t spread the news, so the smaller houses didn’t know.

Therefore most only knew that Feng Wu was a failed cultivator, but they didn’t know she was a mother.

Those in the know were so shocked their mouths nearly dropped to the floor.
How was this possible? They had to be seeing wrong.
Feng Wu knew the prince of Silver Moon? This was even crazier than news of her being welcomed back into Feng house.

“Prince Ming Xi has something to talk about, of course.
But please remember to not stray too far.
Your safety is of the utmost importance.” The queen was the queen.
Even if her heart was raging madly she still behaved accordingly, with dignity and graciousness.
She didn’t show the slightest bit of displeasure at Ming Xi’s departure.

Ming Xi nodded.
He took Feng Wu’s hand and left, but because of the queen’s reminder, he didn’t go too far.

Princess Rong Hua watched jealously as they left.
How?! How could such a notorious woman snatch her future husband from her?! He’d been indifferent towards her, but just now he had been so gentle with Feng Wu!

Lanzhou and Bing were standing next to the princess.
They exchanged glances but stayed silent.

The queen patted Princess Rong Hua’s hand and acted as though nothing had happened.
As in previous years, she had the ladies write their notes to be put in the lanterns before setting it afloat down the river.

Her mother’s gentle reminder brought Princess Rong Hua back to her senses.
She was an imperial royal princess; how could she give a show for others to enjoy.
The thought buoyed her spirits and she returned to behaving like a princess, poised, graceful, and charming.
She didn’t comment on Ming Xi leaving with Feng Wu.

Of the four remaining princesses, only the eldest princess was Princess Rong Hua’s full-blooded sister.
The other three were secretly happy while they watched the drama.

Ming Xi was such a good catch, naturally Princess Rong Hua wouldn’t be the only one who fancied him.
However she relied on being the queen’s daughter and suppressed the other three princesses.
She’d been watching them like a hawk and didn’t allow them to get close to Ming Xi.

None of them dared say anything about her suppressing them.
She had a strong mother and was also the king’s favorite.
Whether it be status or affection, they couldn’t beat her.
The three princesses had no choice but to shut up and give up.

Unexpectedly they didn’t have to make a move; someone else made it.
And that someone even succeeded! It didn’t matter who the person was, they were happy as as long as that person defeated Princess Rong Hua.

Ming Xi and Feng Wu didn’t know anything about all that.
They had found an out of the way corner where Feng Wu was telling him what happened.
Her face was downcast as she told him how strong the bad guys were.
They were so powerful; they even got her older brother to tell her to apologize.

Her pitiful eyes tugged at Ming Xi’s heart.
“It’s OK.
Don’t apologize if you don’t want to.
It’s not your fault.”

Feng Wu’s eyes lit up at his words and her spirits soared.
He was just like Master! Master wouldn’t have told her apologize either!

“Yes.
Master said I should fight back if anyone bullied me.
I should hit them back until they’re afraid to bully me again.” Feng Wu had a wobbly, slightly crooked, slightly hopeful smile after she spoke.

This made Ming Xi even more unhappy with Tian.
This brother of hers… The one in the Qui family knew to protect his sister, but this guy tried to shame Feng Wu by making her apologize.
What a failure as an older brother.
