Mengdie, along with her three Protectors, was also flabbergasted by Wu Tian's sudden announcement of the marriage... However, after a second thought, they found it not so surprising given the unpredictable actions of their leader. Furthermore, Feng Yi was a genius of the time, so marrying Mengdie wouldn't be considered beneath him. The news left everyone more shocked than anything else.

Feng Yi's head almost exploded with shock. He understood that if Wu Tian was speaking with such conviction, he must have been prepared. Even his form of address had changed. "Hey, old man, you're not joking with me, are you?"

Just as Feng Yi spoke, he felt a sudden dizzying buzz in his head, "I clearly didn't drink any tea, how could I..."

"Hehe, General, there's no need for concern. This is merely a scent of herbs to aid in sleeping—Little Protector, please escort the General back to his room to rest."

Mengdie's gaze rarely showed such surprise, and her delicate body involuntarily wobbled...

"Old man, you're tricking me again." Feng Yi, struggling to stay on his feet, said, "But this would mean even Miss Mengdie's purity would be..." He wanted to say he had a girlfriend but before he could finish, Feng Yi collapsed...

Fortunately, Mengdie was quick to react and caught him in her arms...

It was truly a trap within a trap, a net within a net, interlocking circles impossible to guard against. Feng Yi could refrain from drinking tea, but he couldn't stop breathing, could he? And so, Feng Yi passed out into unconsciousness.

All four Protectors, including Mengdie, widened their eyes and remained silent. Even though Feng Yi was generous-hearted, he'd probably have to fight for his life against them.

Joyous occasions were plentiful each year, and this year there seemed to be an especially large number. The hidden faction of North Mysterious Hall was festooned with lights and decorations, basking in a festive atmosphere...

Who could have guessed that just as the mass marriage of the hidden factions concluded, the Jade Clear Sect was now holding a grand banquet.

In his growing wakefulness, Feng Yi realized he was lying in a bed, and it was a girl's bed at that. Fragrances were subtly present, and the room's decor was very elegant and sophisticated.

Instinct suggested to Feng Yi that he should still be dreaming, yet he was not. As he looked around, he was startled to see Mengdie in a plain green dress, sitting there staring blankly at the head of the bed, half of her face hidden behind a light veil at some point.

"Is it Miss Mengdie...?" Feng Yi asked uncertainly.

Mengdie's ears twitched upon hearing his voice and she turned her half-hidden face towards him, then away again.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the Jade Clear Sect to have such peculiar methods. Doesn't this seem a bit rude for treating a guest?"

Mengdie's delicate body shifted slightly, but she gave no response.

"Little sister, if you like me just say so, why tie me up to a bed with such elaborate bindings? I wouldn't reject a beautiful girl like you, ahem... may you untie me first?" Feng Yi pretended to be utterly harmless. In fact, he was testing the waters, believing Mengdie wasn't the type to act so pointlessly. Turning serious, he said, "Actually, this isn't what you truly want, is it? I understand."

The tip of Mengdie's finger glowed, and with a swish, two light-bladed hand strikes cut down, instantly relieving much of Feng Yi's tension. He let out a deep breath, knowing that Mengdie's actions were likely due in part to the unspoken understanding between them. As a Protector of the Jade Clear Sect, he might not be able to leave easily.

Adhering to the principle of 'test and see', he decided to give it a try and cautiously said, "Thanks, let's part ways here."

No sooner had he spoken, Mengdie still obstinately blocked the head of the bed, clearly indicating that without orders from her sect, he was not allowed to leave—especially from a woman's fragrant bed. This as a man infuriated Feng Yi; it was intolerable.

"Offended."

With that, Feng Yi shot forward in an instant, aiming to lock Mengdie's throat and seize her at once, having been trained as a mercenary on Colonial Planet 103; this was his standard negotiation tactic.

However, due to his physical condition, Feng Yi couldn't keep up with Mengdie's speed. His groping hand hadn't reached halfway before Mengdie casually dodged it with ease.

"Where's the person?" Feng Yi inexplicably smelled a refreshing fragrance. It was from Mengdie's delicate breathing. Was she actually behind him? So fast—no, had his own realm fallen again? Feng Yi hastily turned to continue his throat lock attempt.

The result was predictable. Feng Yi failed to secure a throat lock three times in a row. Fortunately, Mengdie had no intention of harming him. With a wave of her hand, aside from defending herself, she only kept sealing his acupoints, preventing him from unleashing his full strength.

Mengdie clearly knew the human body's vital points extensively; her skillful technique was far superior to Nangong Qi's. At least, while losing strength, Feng Yi did not feel any discomfort.

Her graceful figure moved seamlessly through the confined space, whereas Feng Yi's movements were wide and exaggerated. However, no matter how close he got, he was unable to touch even a hair on Mengdie's head. Her delicate body kept on dancing by his side, often coming face to face and almost mouth to mouth.

Damn! The older brother was actually being teased here. Feng Yi instantly became furious. But as his acupoints were continuously sealed, his movements over time became slower and slower. Eventually, his body tilted and he flopped onto the bed like chopped meat, waving his hands, "I'm out of strength, tired. I'm done fighting; I'm done."

Though he said that, Mengdie did not harm him from beginning to end, or rather, it was always this guy who initiated the attack.

Who says you can just start and stop fighting at will? You could at least persevere a little longer. Watching Feng Yi appear so defenseless, Mengdie's lovely face remained pure, yet her sparkling eyes seemed to reveal a hint of amusement.

Considering he was already at the end of his tether, short of breath and on the verge of collapse, could it be that this little fan girl wanted to forcefully cultivate dual cultivation with him and deplete him completely? But upon further thought, this situation didn't seem like a loss. However, Wu Tian's approach particularly irritated him.

Right at that moment, a maidservant's voice softly arose from outside the door, "Protector, the Sect Master summons you."

Mengdie glanced at Feng Yi indifferently, hesitated for a moment, her gaze somewhat sympathetic, but still showed a dominating personality. With a movement of her hands, vines appeared out of nowhere and tied Feng Yi up, bed and all.

"Hey, little fan girl, there's no need to treat me this way. Girls should learn to be gentle. Besides, I'm not going to..."

Before Feng Yi could utter the word 'escape,' a leaf sealed his mouth tightly shut. At that moment, he truly became like a fish on the chopping board, unable to resist...

——

In another room, Wu Tian's voice gradually rose, "With destruction comes rebirth, with death comes reincarnation. Little Protector, even when his day comes to an end, your entangled fate cannot be severed. Since you like him, care about him..."

Meanwhile, due to his qi and blood flow being blocked and the multiple issues of lying on the bed, Feng Yi had already fallen asleep. However, he was vaguely able to hear Wu Tian's words to Mengdie, the sound growing from distant to near.

"Little Protector, now that you're a big boy, you should learn to draw a nice eyeliner, maintain beautiful nails, and have long lashes. In this wonderful age, you should compete with girls for a man's attention since you possess advantages that girls inherently do not."

Soon after Wu Tian's words ended, the sleeping Feng Yi suddenly felt something soft pressing down on him. Sadly, his eyes were tightly covered by the leaf sealing his breath, preventing him from seeing anything.

But who was Feng Yi if not someone with acute perceptiveness beyond the ordinary? He caught onto the most important word in Wu Tian's mouth, 'boy, boy, big boy.'

"Little Protector, now that you're a big boy."

Damn! What the hell? What is all this about? He's not a gay man, come on. Feng Yi, a federal major general, might not be outstanding, but he's not below anyone else. Would his lifelong reputation be ruined in the hands of this 'big boy'?

"Mengdie Miss—no, little fan girl, no, no, no... little fan brother, you mustn't do this. If you don't do this, we can still be brothers." Amidst his endless struggle, Feng Yi felt his heart beating faster and faster... This was truly terrifying.
