Chapter 1056: Chapter 856 When Are You Happiest?

All the royals and nobles within Dashun were now incredibly nervous. At this point, all they wanted was to save their own lives, so they advised Tuoba Lie to hand over Nan Feng as soon as possible, perhaps in doing so, they could spare their own lives.

Nan Feng was in the tent, witnessing the chaos outside with her own eyes and hearing about Dashun being attacked by the alliance of two countries. Whenever she heard about a place being conquered, her mood lifted somewhat, hoping the day would come when Nangong Ye would ride that tall steed that could travel a thousand miles and take her and the baby away from here.

Since that drunken frenzy night, Nan Feng had not seen Tuoba Lie for three months.

She figured he must have gone to war. Nan Feng hoped that Tuoba Lie would never come back, better yet to die on the battlefield, for Nangong Ye would certainly not let him off.

Until that day, Tuoba Lie appeared in front of Nan Feng’s tent.

Nan Feng’s heart tightened at the sight of Tuoba Lie, his face shrouded as if by a mist of ash, and she instinctively hugged the baby tighter in her arms.

Tuoba Lie walked toward her, his usually unsurpassable figure now seeming deeply gloomy.

Nan Feng knew they must have suffered a defeat.

"Nan Feng," after a while, Tuoba Lie began to speak.

"What?" asked Nan Feng.

"You know I’ve lived two lives, been two people, but do you know when I was happiest in this life?" Tuoba Lie asked.

"I don’t know," Nan Feng said, certain of her answer.

"The happiest moment for me was when I was with you. In my past life, you suddenly appeared before me like an angel, knowing how to care for my emotions, knowing what I wanted, knowing how to make me happy. You successfully attracted me."

Nan Feng wanted to say that it was all due to training, and that’s why she understood.

Tuoba Lie continued, "In this life, before you remembered Nangong Ye, I could come to tease you every day, and you didn’t resist, just stayed obediently by my side. Remember that time we released the Kongming lanterns? You laughed so happily; it was the first time I saw you smile like that. In that moment, I felt that everything I did for you was worth it."

Nan Feng turned her face away, not looking at Tuoba Lie, only gazing at the sleeping baby in her arms.

"Nan Feng," Tuoba Lie watched her, "I want to ask you one last question: did you ever like me, even for just a moment, a little while?"

Nan Feng too thought back to the day they released the Kongming lanterns. She truly had been happy that day, and she even considered, once back, to properly think about Tuoba Lie, to guide him properly. After all, she had no other acquaintances on the grasslands, and if she never remembered Nangong Ye, she might in the end have married him.

Seeing that Nan Feng remained silent, Tuoba Lie felt somewhat despondent but also somewhat relieved, "Nan Feng, you didn’t deny it right away, it seems that I still have some place in your heart..."

"No, Tuoba Lie, I only feel hate for you, I never liked you," she said.

Tuoba Lie looked extremely sad. He paused and then asked Nan Feng one more question, "Alright, one last question, on that night I was drunk, in the end, did we... did I ever possess you?"

Nan Feng turned her face away, not answering him.

"Did we or did we not? Nan Feng?" Tuoba Lie persisted.

Nan Feng opened her mouth, about to answer, but Tuoba Lie interrupted her in time, "Don’t say it, Nan Feng, I beg you, don’t tell me, just let my dream be real."
