Chapter 901: Chapter 901: You Must Marry Whether You Want To or Not

In this life, due to the reasons of his birth, he seemed to have become more restrained. However, the scene that unfolded before Nan Feng at the mouth of the cave kept haunting her. She simply couldn’t erase from her mind the image of those limbs that had been blown to pieces and the sight of their leader’s last, miserable moments.

He always had his justifications, believing that whatever he did was right. In his previous life, he strayed onto the wrong path, and once he entered that circle, there was no escape. What about this life, then? His inherently cruel nature had, after all, followed him here.

Nan Feng felt that she must find a way to escape; she couldn’t get entangled in this anymore.

...

However, Tuoba Lie kept an even tighter grip on Nan Feng.

Furthermore, he had ended this trip to the capital early and prepared to return to Dashun the following day.

Nan Feng didn’t really want to go back to the grasslands. When Tuoba Lie came over and asked her to pack, she lamented miserably, "There is no rice on the grasslands."

"The Emperor has gifted us with high-quality rice from their side, as much as you want. If you wish to have it in the future, I can send someone to buy it here. After all, trade between our two nations has resumed, and goods can be sold to each other," he replied.

Nan Feng then said, "There are no green vegetables on the grasslands, no scholar-and-champion congee, no dim sum."

Tuoba Lie responded, "I can hire a chef from here to go back with us, specifically to cook for you, wouldn’t that work? As long as you’re happy, anything is possible."

"Tuoba Lie, the problem is that I am not happy," Nan Feng looked at him. "You’ve noticed it too. No matter what, I am not happy. Why don’t you just let me go? I prefer the Central Plains where I can sustain myself."

Tuoba Lie approached her, sitting down beside her bed before leaning in close to her face. Observing the stubbornness on her small face, he was initially angry but then began to laugh. "Keep pretending. Who was the one who enjoyed releasing the sky lanterns yesterday, who even laughed? You’re like an iceberg, but one corner of you has already melted for me. The rest, I will melt away sooner or later. So be good and pack up to go back with me."

"And if I refuse to go back?" Nan Feng asked.

"If you refuse, I’ll strip off your clothes, tie you up, and throw you onto the carriage. Then we’ll see if you’ll go back or dare to run. Besides that, I’ll take you by force and make you my woman ahead of time."

"You..." Nan Feng instinctively moved back. "You’re shameless."

"That’s why I don’t want to force you, but you know very well I mean what I say and I can do it. So we don’t need to talk too much about this. You know what you should do. You, this woman, I will not let you go. Our lives are meant to be entwined together. If you think of leaving, only my death would permit it. But Nan Feng, you should be very clear that you couldn’t bear to see me die, right? If I were dead, where would you find someone who treats you as well as I do?"

Nan Feng looked at Tuoba Lie, her chest heaving with anger.

"Fine, then I’ll go with you!"

He would tire of her someday.

...

The entourage set out on their return journey along the original route.

Having been ambushed on the way here, the Emperor had specifically ordered that the route be strictly guarded and all obstacles removed. Additionally, troops from the Jin army led the way, making the return trip particularly smooth.

The party soon arrived back in Shangzhi City.

Just like on the way there, they had to stop in Shangzhi City to rest for a night.

All along the way, people kept watch over Nan Feng, and wherever she went, Tuoba Lie accompanied her, which greatly depressed her.
