"To reply your majesty, we humans on earth aren't heavy." Ling Qing hung his neck and replied with lowered eyes.
"What's wrong with you these days?" What is This King asking and answering, without the spirit that I had in the past? " Ling Jin asked unhappily as he tightened his arms.
"No answer …" I don't want to make you angry. " Ling Qing's voice was very soft and her throat was sore. Father and Mother definitely would not have thought that there would come a day where they would be this scared of a man.
"You …" Hearing her soft voice, then seeing her slightly red eyes and her pitiful expression, Ling Xuanxuan's heart felt like it had been scratched by a cat's paw. He trembled slightly, not knowing how to respond.
"You carry the Jade Stick Powder with you, and you also constantly reject kindness. This King will obviously punish you." Ling Jin took a deep breath and said.
"So, I apologize." Ling Tian lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.
"My waist and legs still hurt?" Ling Jin asked, ignoring his earlier displeasure, as he met her without replying. He buried his head in his chest, like a gentle little animal.
"It hurts." Ling Tian nodded.
It wasn't a tearing pain, but a sore waist and knees after excessive exercise.
"Wait until your body is better. If you follow Yanyu and the rest in their cultivation of the waist and legs, you will be so delicate and weak. This king hasn't even started, yet you already feel pain here. How can you bear the kindness in the future?" He realized that as long as this girl was here, he liked to talk to her.
Normally, when he was free, he would meditate for a day and think about national affairs without saying a word.
Even when he was at Sui Tian Xiang's place, he would only listen to her play the zither and watch her dance, rarely opening his mouth.
The beauties of the harem call the king "the golden mouth", and indeed the golden mouth, because the golden mouth is difficult to open …
Ling Tian Qing's face turned red as a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. After a while, he nodded and said, "Alright."
She … He was afraid that he would hear the word 'favor'.
What Tyrant brought him was pain and terror, but that night, there was an indescribable happiness — the happiness of the body.
Ling Tian Qing could not accept that.
"What are you thinking?" Although Ling Xuanxin didn't look at her, he was keenly aware that there was a trace of killing intent on this girl's body.
Killing intent?
How could his innocent little queen be murderous?
For the first time, he doubted his own feelings.
This girl, at most, blamed him for his lack of tolerance, angered him for a few days, coaxed him for a few days, and immediately became lively again. It was as if she had never held a grudge, her nature was the same as Lord Grim's, kind and naive.
So, how could his Phoenix Body have the aura of slaughter?
"I was thinking... Aren't you tired of carrying me? " Ling Qing asked as he heard his heartbeat.
"You have no weight at all." Ling Xuanxin suddenly sighed. He was really afraid that if he were to get angry at her, he would break her and crush her to pieces.
When they had finally made it to the top of the hundreds of steps, Ling Ziling lifted her to the edge of the dais and held her by the shoulders.
He had the illusion that when she stood in the air, she would suddenly fly away. Like a phoenix, she would pierce through the clouds and disappear …
The wind on the high platform was strong, causing Ling Tian Qing's face to turn pale as he took half a step back.
The 100-meter high platform, which did not have any fences, made her feel like she was going to fall down at any moment.
The waves beneath the stage surged, one after another, causing one to have no choice but to revere the power of nature.
Her long hair was not tied up, but was stuck in the hairpin she had made herself. The sea breeze blew and her long hair fluttered in the wind, making her look like an immortal as it got entangled with Ling Lingzhi's black hair.
"How is This King's martial arts?" Ling Lingcun looked at the river water and spoke in a low voice, almost drowning in the waves, but it was clearly heard by Ling Qing.
"Very beautiful." Ling Tian Qing thought of the strange flowers, herbs, dense forests and rare wild beasts in this world, and said these words sincerely.
"Give birth to a dragon for this king. This mountain and river is ours from generation to generation." Hearing the two words that came out of her mouth, Ling Jin smiled in satisfaction, and then suddenly spoke boldly.
Ling Tian Qing raised his head and looked at him.
It seemed as if Ling Xueli hadn't displayed such a grand appearance in front of her yet. Looking at his confident expression, that domineering and arrogant gaze really matched his identity as the 'King'.
And he said, "Ours."
Ling Jin tilted his head, looking at his little queen, and suddenly smiled at her. "How about giving this duke the next King of the Ling family?"
Ling Tian saw that in his eyes, there were thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. The rising and falling tides, the stormy seas … in his eyes, they had shrunk to the size of a small corner, almost impossible to be seen.
Amidst the sound of the waves, Ling Tianqing almost fell into those eyes that were holding all the people in the world.
She quickly turned her head to look at the tide. "Is that an island?"
A small black dot could be vaguely seen on the blue surface of the sea.
Ling Xi was somewhat annoyed that she avoided his words. However, when he saw where her finger was pointing at, he was overjoyed. The Phoenix Body really was the Phoenix Body. He brought her here to observe the tides and actually found the sea bandits' lair for him.
When the wind was gentle and the sea was calm, the tiny black dot could not be seen even though the sea was as far as the eye could see.
Moreover, he sent Green Shadow and Red Toad to investigate but there was no news. It was probably because the sea bandits were cunning and had set up some kind of spell around the island, so they couldn't find the exact location.
"It's an island." Ling Chen pulled her back a bit to prevent her from being blown away by the wind. Then he squatted down and drew a deep mark on the ground. The mark was aimed in the direction of the island.
"You can use the coordinates to position it. That would be more accurate." Ling Tian Qing could not help but say as he watched him draw only one line.
For academic matters, she could not bear to see others handling things in the wrong or in the stupidest way.
If he drew a line like this, the distance between him and the island would be extremely far. At that time, he might even deviate by a thousand miles.
"Coordinates?" Ling Lingcun's left hand was still holding her right hand without letting go. Hearing these two words, he raised his head and looked at the little girl beside her.
"You followed my hand and carved marks in the stone with your hand?" Ling Qing squatted down as well, looking at the position of the black dot while using the other references to determine a more accurate position.
Ling Zui's slender white fingers drew a mark on the bluestone on the platform.
A strange feeling came over him once again, as if he was bringing her along to watch the public sentiment. When she was helping him with his affairs, Ling Xiang had a never before felt satisfaction … Warmth.
It should be warmth, a warm current that came from the bottom of his heart. He did not know that there was a more accurate description of his current mood — happiness.
Ling Xuanxuan didn't know that a woman would bring him a sense of happiness.
He had always thought that it would only be a hundred years later when he passed away and looked at the mountains and rivers that he diligently governed, and listened to every single citizen talk about himself as the Saint Lord of the Prominent Monarch. Only then would he completely heave a sigh of relief.
"No, there is no reference object on the sea. Even if this is the case, there might be some deviation."
When Ling Qing was discussing academic issues, he finally forgot about that charming night.
At the moment, she was looking at it from a scientific and rigorous point of view.
It was impossible to estimate how far away the island was, so a millimeter of error could be a thousand miles away.
Looking at her somewhat haggard face and straight face, she was actually as beautiful as the mountains and rivers in his eyes.
"Why don't you set up a lighthouse?" Ling Tian Qing frowned slightly as he was lost in his thoughts, forgetting about the relationship between a man and a woman.
"How do we set up a lighthouse in the sea?" Ling Jin rebutted with a question.
This area was extremely wide, and was only the size of a small island. Furthermore, it was very far away, so it was impossible for officials to control the lamps on it.
"I'll tell you in the future, light this place first and don't move." Ling Tian Qing was very dedicated to his research, and had completely forgotten about Ling Jing. He placed his hands on the ground and said.
She did not have any tools, so she could only rely on her experience and knowledge, as well as other things to make a precise position.
Looking at the girl who was surrounding her hand and busying herself, the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up into a faint smile.
Ling Qing had only heard that there were a lot of pirates causing trouble along the coast, killing and looting all sorts of evil, so she did not think too much about it. Helping Ling Jin locate a small island was not for the sake of a tyrant, she just did not want the good people to be disturbed.
After finally positioning himself, Ling Tian stood up and looked at the drawing below his feet, "Alright, when the tide recedes, as long as there are these numbers, I will be able to find the island."
"You?" Ling Xuejian did not want to take her to sea.
"Yeah, who else would be able to read my data?" Ling Tian Qing asked.
The top is filled with Greek characters, such as pu, j, sigma, pi, etc. Who here understands calculus and physics?
"It's dangerous to go to sea. You can't go." Ling Lingcun's expression slightly darkened. He also stood up, tightly holding her hand as he spoke.
"But without me leading the way …"
"No need to say anymore, you can't go out to sea with them."
Although they had many men, most of the soldiers were not familiar with the war on the water. When the time came, if there was any danger …
He would not allow any danger to exist.
Ling Tian Qing heard his determination and lowered his head, sighing softly.
She was very good at water, and she often ventured out to sea to inspect the island. Although she was young, she had experience and skills that these people did not have.
It was a pity that Tyrant didn't want her to go to sea, so it was fine. She didn't want to make Tyrant unhappy.
Furthermore, his body had been extremely weak these past two days. With the wind blowing at him, he felt a little sleepy and wanted to go to sleep …
Forget it, she couldn't be bothered as long as Tyrant didn't bully her.
"Tired?" Ling Jin asked as he saw that her face was a little tired and helped her block the sea breeze without leaving a trace.
"I'm a bit tired." Ling Tian nodded and tightened his cloak.
Ling Xuanxin pulled at her cloak as well, then bent down to take her in his arms, before walking down the platform.
