"Yes." Mo Yang tersely said.
"Hopefully he doesn't have any ill intentions, or else …" Ling Jin closed his long and narrow eyes. There were too many things he was worried about right now. He must not cause any more trouble for him.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Wen Hou's personality is just cold and aloof …" Mo Yang also did not want to get cold.
"Forget it, don't mention him again. You, Qingyu, one on the south and one on the north, bring your men and continue to search for the Phoenix Body. Also, make a secret visit to the officials on the road and let me check each and every detail." Having made his decision, Ling Xiang decided to go all out. He would give Mo Yang and Qing Yu six months time to investigate the officials of the imperial court.
In the second year after he ascended the throne, Ling Jin had expended a lot of manpower to complete a huge project — to let Hong Ying, Bai Yi and Lan Fengyi lead hundreds of the imperial guards, and spend twelve months to secretly investigate all the minor officials of the imperial court.
From the seventh rank of the sesame officer to the general, there was hardly a missing piece. It had been assembled into a top-secret piece of information and was placed in the royal study.
Not only was it the official's integrity, but there were also people from other places who were praised by the people. They were all recorded in secret and sent to the palace as a top-secret file.
It had been a year since then, but Ling Jing had asked Mo Yang and Qing Yu to go through the details again. First, he would check the information, and secondly, he wanted to see if there was anyone who was' corrupted 'so that he wouldn't make any mistakes in his' layoffs' this winter.
"Perverted" "layoffs" were all new words learned from the girl in outer space. Thinking about Ling Tianqing, Ling Xiang felt her chest clogged up again. Where was that babbling girl?
Looking at the king's face which suddenly passed over the dark clouds, Mo Yang knew that he was talking about the future little queen again.
When they were first together, he had punished her everyday by hitting her. Now that Ling Tian Qing had disappeared, the king had begun to miss her again …
However, the imperial harem had become much quieter. Ling Tianqing, who had lost her mischievous ways, and the Imperial Garden had fallen into a deathly silence.
Speaking of which, these brothers of theirs would occasionally talk about some strange pastries made by some otherworldly guest. Although they weren't used to it at the beginning, they still missed the novelty of that strange taste.
On the third day, Ling Qing saw Wen Han.
She was in the midst of a strange dream when something cold touched her face and was awakened by the ice.
He then saw Wen Han standing upright beside the bed. Her ice-cold face seemed to have a tinge of red in it.
"Icicle …" Ling Tian Qing reached out to touch her cheek. There was a piece of skin on her face that was slightly cold, did this ice cube molest her just now?
"Better?" Wen Han asked when he saw that she was about to get up.
Ling Tian had just woken up and was still in a daze. After being helped to his feet, he nodded and subconsciously said, "Uncle Icicle, don't bully me …"
Wen Han's eyes turned cold, and he immediately let go, "When you said those words to Ling Xinyi, did he care about you?"
Ling Tian Qing was stunned, she could not hear Tyrant's name, the moment she heard it her brain exploded, and everything was in chaos.
"Not only will he ignore this, he'll even punish him, right?" Wen Han said coldly, "If I bully you, you won't be able to keep your innocence on the first day!"
Wen Han looked at her lowering her head. He was already agitated, but seeing that her first words were the same, he felt infuriated for no reason. His ice-cold heart, devoid of emotion, was in a mess.
"Right... Sorry... "I …"
"Why are you apologizing to me? "Maybe you aliens don't care about what's going on..." When Wen Han heard her apology, he got even angrier. "Ling Jin stole your body, and every day, he would punish you with punishments. You still have to keep him chaste; I have saved you many times, I will give you what you want, but it is nothing to him. "Perhaps it's because you like being punished …"
"No!" This was the first time Ling Tian had seen Wen Han so angry. She shook her head and tried to explain, "We can't compare, I …"
However, Wen Han didn't give her the chance to explain and continued to speak coldly, "Although I, Wen Han, am not a gentleman, I also don't feel like using force against little girls. I've already said this before, if I'm with you, I'll give you a name and marry you as my wife. If you aliens prefer a harem of men, then I have nothing to say, but... Don't ever think about encountering Ling Lingzhi again in your life! "
With that, Wen Han walked out of the room, leaving Ling Tian Qing, who had just woken up and had not fully digested his words.
Oh? Would Uncle Icicle be angry?
She had always thought that Uncle Icicle only had cold air and no fire …
However, he said 'alien' so fluently. It was time for him to teach him a few words of English. This uncle's learning ability was also first-rate, and his ability to accept students was much better than Tyrant's.
Ling Tian Qing shook his head vigorously, he was not thinking about that right now.
He should be coaxing Uncle!
Ling Tian Qing quickly got off the bed, put on his shoes and dressed in his silk pajamas before chasing after Wen Han.
Wen Han hadn't said anything wrong. He had saved his life several times, only in this vast primitive forest, he had saved her three times and didn't let his get eaten by wild beasts …
Of course, the wild beast wouldn't necessarily eat her. It would only show its teeth towards her.
If she really was a phoenix, the beasts wouldn't just casually attack her.
However, Wen Han was really good to her.
Although he was cold and taciturn, he would think of ways to get whatever she wanted for her. He would never ask for the uses of any of the strange ingredients, and when he came back, he would bring them for her.
This was several times cuter than encountering someone with utmost care.
Even if it were her own parents or mentor, they would not tolerate her and give her whatever she wanted.
Sometimes, on Earth, she wanted to study something. If the materials were precious, she would have to write an application and a detailed study report to the school, waiting for it to be approved.
As for Wen Han, as long as she gave him a piece of paper with the words' I want 'written on it, he would be very busy. After two days, he would not be able to return and would send someone to deliver it.
No matter how she thought about it, being warm and cold was always very good to her.
However, Ling Tian Qing could not accept it at the moment. The man who was originally like his brother had suddenly said those words to her and did those things …
She thought that being warm and cold, she wouldn't have feelings for any woman.
Wen Han had once told her that the more profound the mastery of the Ice Palm, the more indifferent one's temperament would become. At the final moment, one would have no desire nor love.
How could someone who wasn't lustful say something like that to her?
Moreover, it was precisely because she didn't have any interest in women that she let go of him and approached him. She didn't treat him as a man and was willing to play by his side; she was even tired from playing outside in the forest and slept soundly on his lap without any other thoughts …
"Ice Stick!" The poison in Ling Tian's body had just been treated and his legs were still weak. In addition to his tall and slender legs, she was chasing him while panting heavily.
"Wen Han, it's not that I don't care about grudges, nor do I like tyrants …"
Ling Qing kept on calling out to him, but Wen Han did not turn back. Instead, he sped up his pace. It seemed that he was truly angry.
Normally, if she caused trouble, such as accidentally destroying his favorite jade Xiao Xiao or playing with his zither, he wouldn't be angry. He would just give her a cold look and let her spend double of the time to practice acupuncture points.
However, she would never pretend not to hear him when she called out to him.
"Wen Han, wait for me!" Ling Tian saw him turning left and right in the complex underground palace, and saw that he was about to disappear, so he anxiously shouted.
Her voice was still very tender and contained a hint of a milky tone. It was especially delicate and melodious.
However, Wen Han didn't even turn his head. He was too indulgent towards this young girl. When he turned his head back, he found that he had unknowingly given everything to her.
He had never said such a thing to anyone, so in his entire life, he had never been rejected in such a way by anyone.
The aloof but aloof pride was ruthlessly trampled upon by this elf girl from outer space.
He did not understand what could be worse than Lingzhi.
Other than identity... However, he would also be a king in the future, even if he was only the Marquis.
But he was clean, and this girl's usual talk of monogamy against the feudalism of the world was in his ears and in his heart, which was different from the noble ways of the harem. He was only going to marry her.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Wen Han clenched his fists tightly.
Except for Ling Xue, this was the first time he was so good to a woman.
Although it was due to her phoenix body in the beginning, during their interactions, he liked this girl's personality. He had unconsciously doted on her and not just because of her fate, but also because of that child's indulgence.
If he were to just use her as a tool, she could do as she pleased!
Ignorant girl!
"Warm cold!" Ling Tian Qing watched him leave through the entrance of the underground palace, stomped his feet, and continued to chase him.
It was already dusk, and the forest was already shrouded by the dark twilight. The rays of the night's brilliance scattered throughout the forest, causing the forest to be filled with a dazzling, spotlessly white light.
The sound of the wind, coupled with the roars of the wild beasts, made the beautiful forest seem even more terrifying at night.
"Wen Han, I was in the wrong just now. Wait for me, can we talk later?" Even with her phoenix body, Ling Tian Qing did not dare to run around in the forest at night, not to mention that she did not have any weapons with her.
Using the modern way of thinking to communicate with the ancient people might be a little difficult, but Ling Qing did not mean to anger him, she just could not accept this kind of change.
Moreover, some problems had arisen in their interaction, so she had to actively resolve them.
Outside the cave entrance of the secret mountain path, it was dark and gloomy, and his cold figure had already disappeared.
He still couldn't catch up to her …
Ling Tian Qing sighed in disappointment. She did not dare to look for coldness in the dangerous forest at night, so she could only stand at the entrance of the cave and wait.
