The Legend of Shen Li (English Translation of Yu Feng Xing 与凤行)

Chapter 11

The youth's eyes narrowed, about to open his mouth to speak. 

Suddenly, the imperial body guard moved and blocked him with his body, 

"Sir, be careful. This miscreant isn't easy to deal with."

However, the Crown Prince still didn't calm down, beckoning his aide, Fu Sheng, to him. 

Hearing what the Crown Prince had said, he sneered. 

"Right now, there are seven princes, and all of them have the capability to inherit the throne. 

You punk, how can you be a king?"

Shen Li laughed, but her smile was cold. 

"You want to rule this era? You are too reckless." 

Brandishing her spear, she waved it once and only a gleam of silver could be seen before everybody felt their belts loosening. 

A loud clang of a sword sounded as one dropped to the ground, and with the clang, also sounded everybody's belts and underpants falling. 

Everybody rushed in panic, desperately pulling up their pants.

Shen Li's lips hooked up into a smile, but before it could spread, a pair of warm hands covered her eyes. 

Behind her, Xing Yun sighed, 

"Don't look; too dirty."

For a moment, Shen Li was so shocked by the warm hand covering her eyes that she had even forgotten to scold him to let go. Not caring that she had just turned several men naked, Xing Yun still had always looked at her as a girl under his care.

As a real woman.

When everybody realized what happened, they all picked up their swords hurriedly, hobbling back awkwardly whilst holding up their pants. 

However, Fu Sheng's belt seemed to be a bit different as he had no hint of embarrassment on his face but instead an expression of pondering. 

His eyes stared at Shen Li for a moment, before ultimately deciding not to say a thing and went with the others. 

Now, there was only Shen Li and Xing Yun, two inside the flames and charcoaled remains of the house.

Shen Li put away her silver spear, but did not touch Xing Yun's hand . Her eyelashes brushed against his palm as she said. 

"Let's go. I'll send you to Prince Rui's residence."

Then it's time to leave.

"Ok." 

Xing Yun agreed, his tone a little high. He let go of Shen Li and watched the burning flames .

 "Wait a bit."

Shen Li turned her head to the side to look at Xing Yun. The raging fire was reflected in his pupils, his lips had a rare frown on it. She suddenly remembered what Xing Yun said to Rui Wang yesterday. He said that he wanted to stay in his small courtyard because it was his home, but now it was being destroyed, swallowed up in the raging flames. 

His mood, how could it be good?

Shen Li's fists tightened. 

If she could, she would've definitely made the Crown Prince pay. 

But if she were to use more of her powers, then in but a few days, the pursuers would've definitely come to kill her. 

She cannot continue to stay here. Shen Li gazed into the fire, slowly burning the courtyard to ashes.
