That night, Murong Fu stayed with Kang Min. Having seen Murong Fu credit her with all the achievements during the day, Kang Min naturally served him with great care, though she remained puzzled by his actions. Pleased by her mood, Murong Fu even gave her the silk ribbon he had worn that day, leading to another night of unrestrained intimacy.
The sun was high when Murong Fu finally awoke, feeling refreshed, leaving Kang Min still fast asleep. He got up to find Lan Fenghuang. While black tea was a fine product, long-standing habits were difficult to change; only government intervention could make such a reform take root quickly.
Murong Fu asked the servants, but no one had seen Lan Fenghuang go out. Even Kongque, who usually served by her side, was nowhere to be found, having reportedly been taken out for a stroll by Zhong Wanchou early in the morning. Lan Fenghuang was a lively girl; unless it was well past noon, she would usually be up early. To her, time was never enough for all the fun she wanted to have. Whether tending to poisonous insects in the temple or handling sect affairs in the assembly hall, she was always busy. With the Ren Cult now overseeing the government of the Kingdom of Dali, Murong Fu had not seen her sleep in for a long time; today’s situation was truly strange.
