Chapter 360: Chapter 244 Love Worm Turns into Butterfly_1

North Prince Mansion.

Tonight was Lin Wanyun’s duty. After patrolling the courtyard of the Prince’s Mansion several times, she returned to Yunrong Courtyard.

She had wanted to find Lu Chen to talk, to ask him what he planned to do.

However, when she had gone to the study earlier, she found no candlelight there; Lu Chen must have gone to one of his wives or consorts to sleep.

Not having found Lu Chen, Lin Wanyun had no choice but to return to Yunrong Courtyard. She sat in the pavilion, watching the moonlight this evening and couldn’t help but sigh.

Lu Chen was Chu Yue’s son; Chu Yue was her sworn sister through a pact of sisterhood, and Chen Wanrong was the child she had picked up and raised. Now she had become Lu Chen’s woman. The relationships among them were far too complicated, and she did not wish to see anyone get hurt.

But she was well aware of the deep hatred Chen Wanrong harbored in her heart for the Sum Emperor who had led his troops in annihilating Chen Nation and slaughtered its royal family. With such deep-seated vengeance, it was not so easy for Chen Wanrong to let go.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanyun sighed again in her heart, and at that moment, she turned her head to look at Chen Wanrong’s room.

To her surprise, there was no candlelight in Chen Wanrong’s room tonight. What could this mean?

Under normal circumstances, the candle in Chen Wanrong’s room would burn from evening until morning. Only when Chen Wanrong was not in her room would there be no light.

The thought crossed Lin Wanyun’s mind—could it be that Rongrong had gone out?

Immediately, Lin Wanyun approached the entrance to Chen Wanrong’s room and tentatively called out, “Palace Master, are you in there?”

No answer came from the room after her words fell. Lin Wanyun called out once more, but still, no response. Clearly, Chen Wanrong was not inside.

Anxiety surged in Lin Wanyun’s heart. Where could she have gone at this late hour?

…

Meanwhile.

Mysterious Moon Tavern, south of the city.

In a room on the third floor, two figures overlapped, and after an indiscernible amount of time, Lu Chen slowly got up and looked at Chen Wanrong as she was now.

Chen Wanrong’s beautiful eyes seemed to contain springs of crystal-clear, glistening water, pure and moving. Her tender, beautiful face, paired with pink lips, delicate nose, and exquisite chin, bore a touch of flush, irresistibly provoking one’s desire to conquer her.

But Lu Chen had not engaged in the act of man and woman with her just now; he had only kissed her.

As Lu Chen got up, Chen Wanrong’s mind became significantly clearer.

This was her first time being so close to a man. She thought that Lu Chen would directly do that with her, the way he had done to Lin Wanyun in the study.

However, Lu Chen did not directly take ownership of her body, but rather, his hands roamed over her and he kissed her fervently.

Even though they did not go through with that act, her body experienced unusual sensations.

The moment she came into contact with Lu Chen’s body, her face became extremely hot, her blood boiled, and her heart pounded madly. Realizing the abnormality in her body, Chen Wanrong immediately tried to harness her skill to calm herself down, only to discover that the skill within her had vanished without a trace.

Without her skill, she was totally unable to resist those strange sensations.

Seeing Chen Wanrong with seductive eyes, the corners of Lu Chen’s mouth lifted slightly.

Chen Wanrong was different from the former Bai Qingqing. Both were ice beauties, but Bai Qingqing had lost her emotions and thus always had an expressionless face.

Chen Wanrong was different. Although she always appeared cold, it was due to the deep hatred in her heart and living in a place like Mysterious Moon Palace that caused her to show no other expressions; it did not mean she lacked feelings at all.

If Chen Wanrong were truly devoid of emotions, she wouldn’t have thought of revenge. It was precisely because she was an emotional being, combined with Lu Chen’s methods of dealing with women, that Chen Wanrong’s mind quickly became muddled.

Now she only felt extremely uncomfortable in her body.

Seeing Lu Chen stare at her so intently, with a hint of a playful smile on his face, Chen Wanrong realized the reason why Lu Chen did not directly do that act with her. With a flushed face, she said coldly, “You’re humiliating me.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, “Humiliate? How could this be called humiliation? I am just proving that women are like men.”

As he spoke, Lu Chen reached out and stroked Chen Wanrong’s exquisite chin.

Chen Wanrong immediately turned her face away, saying no more.

Seeing Chen Wanrong still so defiant, Lu Chen chuckled and then straightened her head to kiss her once again.

“Mmm mmm mmm…”

At this very moment, in a corner of the room, a caterpillar slowly made its way onto the table, raising its head to feel the cool moonlight streaming through the window.

After a while, the caterpillar ceased its movement; its skin hardened into a shell. Soon, a pair of beautiful wings burst forth, aglow with myriad colors, and the caterpillar – now a magnificent Pair-Wing Butterfly – took to the air.

The butterfly flitted through the air, its shimmering wings scattering luminous, golden dust, just like the stars in the sky.

At the next moment, beside the pillow on the bed, a little porcelain bottle’s lid was nudged open, and another caterpillar crawled out from it.
