The wind blew up his robes, causing fine droplets of water to fly out. Sitting in this place, he had taken up all the time in the world.

Seeing the group of people that appeared at the edge of the trees, Wen Han lightly smiled and used his cold fingers to lightly stroke the unconscious girl's face, wiping away all the droplets of water that had fallen onto the ground.

At a distance of over a hundred feet, Ling Jin stood on a rock by the water's edge. He looked at the young girl who seemed to be sleeping in Wen Han's embrace, and a trace of exasperation flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, let us discuss a condition." Wen Han saw them standing by the water's edge and spoke calmly and slowly.

Although there was some distance between him and the sound of the waterfall, his deep voice still clearly travelled to Ling Chen's ears.

"You are not qualified to negotiate with This King." Ling Lingcun looked at him with a dark expression, forcefully suppressing the surging blood energy as he spoke.

"Really?" Wen Han gently held onto Ling Qing's hand, and suddenly let out a laugh. The smile that was like melting snow was exceptionally pretty.

Ling Zui's face was already pale. At this moment, it looked like it had turned even paler.

"If you dare injure the Queen, I won't forgive you." Ling Jin saw that Wen Han was holding onto Ling Qing's hand and there were drops of blood dripping down from the girl's fingertips, dripping into the stream at a steady pace.

Wen Han had actually cut open Ling Tian Qing's wrist, using his Qi to control the speed of her blood flow as a bargaining chip.

"If you poisoned her, you would think of ways to detoxify her. But if she ran out of blood, would you be able to heal her blood?" Wen Han lightly shook his head and looked at Ling Xinyi, "Do you want to hear my conditions?"

The young Emperor clenched his fists as his eyes turned cold.

Ling Lingcun stared at Ling Tianqing, her long hair in a mess, her hair wet from the water, but she could still see most of her face.

There was also the deep wound on her wrist. Even though there was a distance of over a hundred zhang between them, one could still see that it was not an illusion. Her wrist had truly been cut open, and blood slowly flowed into the clear water, drop by drop.

This scoundrel. Whatever he said, he would never understand pain, so why … Did his heart hurt so much at the moment?

Moreover, not only did it hurt this time …

"Go ahead." Finally, Ling Xuanxin gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.

Wen Han gently pressed Ling Qing's pulse. It seemed that she had really gotten the favor of meeting Ling Qing.

The king had never lowered his head because of a woman. This trick was correct.

"Your Majesty, if I were to use her to exchange for your throne, you would definitely rather kill us than accept, right?" Wen Han asked calmly.

Ling Jinmei stared at Ling Tian Qing's wrist, which was dripping blood, and then looked at Wen Han, "Yes."

"However, the Phoenix Body is half a mountain. If you really kill her, you will also not be willing to part with her." Wen Han looked at Ling Xuanxuan and the guards beside him.

Even the white-robed man with the best movement technique did not dare to act rashly at such a distance. If anything went wrong, Ling Qing's life would not be safe.

"Tell me your conditions." Although the flow of blood was a bit slow, Ling Jin could see the piercing red color. He was angry and in pain.

He really wanted to kill that girl, but even if he did, he didn't want to see her getting hurt by someone else.

"Your Majesty is really impatient today." Wen Han saw that Ling Jin was getting more and more anxious, and instead said slowly, "Why don't we both take a step back and return the phoenix body to you? How about you give me half of the mountain?"

Ling Xuexin clenched his teeth as the veins at his temples throbbed, "How can my Ling Family be separated from those with another surname? "If you return the Empress's hands, this duke will spare your life …"

"My lord, this is my condition." Wen Han reminded. He slowly loosened his grip. Immediately, a large amount of blood spurted out from his slender, snow-white wrist, staining his entire right hand red.

"This King will think it over!" If it was any other woman, he would not hesitate to have Mo Yang and the others take his down. Even if ten thousand women were to die, Wen Han would not be able to escape.

"If you let her die …" However, seeing the blood of that petite and weak girl slowly flowing, Ling Jin could not help but feel indignant.

"Rest assured my lord, I will keep the phoenix body alive until you have made up your mind. However, if you think too long, and the Queen has too much blood, Green Shadow won't be able to save you, then don't blame me. "

Wen Han's move was right, especially when Ling Tian Qing was bleeding slowly. That feeling of killing slowly, was even scarier than being stabbed with a knife.

Because not only would this allow Ling Zhi to see the girl he liked directly, and her life would also slowly fade away, but it would also give him time to recall the beauty when she was alive, and he would also not be able to abandon the phoenix body.

"It's impossible. As long as you return it to the Empress, I …" I will grant you a good land and ten thousand deaths, free from all sins. " The veins on Ling Jin's forehead were crawling, and his handsome face was filled with a restrained anger.

"The king is toying with children."

The warm and cold hand left Ling Qing's wrist and hung there powerlessly. Lifting her hand, she gently caressed Ling Qing's face, "Others will believe you, but I will not. You said that Kao Tian Wanqing was free from crimes, but who knows when I might fall asleep and never wake up again. "

"This King will grant you a Gold Medallion of Immunity. This King will not break his promise." Ling Jin saw that the jade white hand was completely covered by the blood, and blood was quickly flowing out. He took a deep breath and promised.

"The words of the king are useless to me." Wen Han knew the heart of an emperor. No matter what, someone like him, who attempted to kill him and usurp his throne, would never let him off.

Even if there was a Gold Medallion for killing, if he couldn't do it in the open, Ling Xuanxuan would still take it out secretly.

Moreover, what Wen Han wanted was not to die in battle.

He was well aware of Ling Xuanxuan's personality. Even if she was a phoenix, even if she was a woman he loved deeply, it was still impossible for him to exchange her for the Ling Family that lasted for a thousand years.

Ling Jin would rather burn the jade and stone together than subjugate his ancestors' assets to someone else.

As such, Wen Han could only test the limits of his ability and see how much he could endure for Ling Tian Qing.

"Then what do you want?" Seeing the blood dripping down into the clear stream, Ling Jin couldn't help but want to stop the blood immediately.

Strangely, even when Ling Tianqing had been whipped by him and her butt had bled, Ling Chen had never felt so miserable about it.

In his heart, he had always thought that this girl belonged to him.

Whether it was the Phoenix Body or the blessing of the heavens, Ling Tian Qing deserved to be bullied by him all his life, and could only be bullied by him.

Ling Chen could beat her up and scold her to kick and punish her. He bullied her to the point that even if she died, he could not allow anyone to touch one of her fingers.

But now, seeing the Phoenix Body bleeding profusely in front of him, Ling Zhi was unable to stop it. This was the first time he was helpless against it, and he felt powerless.

This kind of feeling was really hateful.

"Half a mountain, I only need half a mountain." "Your Majesty, you have to think about it. If you were to use half of the body of a phoenix to exchange for the body of a phoenix, you will still have the advantage. After all, the body of a phoenix will bring you good fortune.

"If you want to be your own king, then this king can grant you his territory. That should be fine, right?" Ling Lingcun had no other choice, so he could only agree that it would be a temporary measure. When Feng Shen returned to his side, he would decide whether it was time to kill him or not.

"Since that's the case, the king will pass down the order first, draw up the imperial edict, and announce it to the world." Wen Han placed his hand on Ling Qing's hand, stopping the blood from flowing rapidly as he said with a smile, "I don't dare to take your territory. I can just give the kingdom of the King's General Southwest's kingdom to me."

Ling Xingran covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly. Then, without leaving a trace, he placed a pill in his mouth and closed his eyes in thought for a moment.

"Alright, this prince will agree, but esteemed queen …"

"Your Majesty, please declare to the world that when I arrive at the dukedom, I will naturally send the Empress back." How could Wen Han give Ling Tian Qing back to him so easily?

He was especially cautious when it came to trying to get along with a tiger.

He had asked the various dukes to come up with an extremely difficult problem for Ling Jin.

If it was only half a mountain, he would give it to him first. After all, half a mountain, from the officials to the commoners, were all his own people. He could control the situation very well.

As long as Ling Tian Qing came back, Ling QIng could immediately issue a crusade, and at that time, the army and civilians would be his men.

The dukedom was more troublesome.

This was because the various dukes were all small countries that had submitted to the heavens, and each country was composed of eight small nations.

These countries had paid tribute to the emperor year after year, calling themselves subjects. In Ling Qing's words, calling them the dukes was actually "one country, two systems".

Ling is still in control of these countries, yet is unable to fully intervene in their governance.

This was to say that the imperial edict Ling Gao had met was also useful to these dukes, but they couldn't directly command their armies.

These dukedoms allowed him to train his troops.

Once the military was unable to control the military, it would be very difficult to get rid of Wen Han.

Furthermore, there were many foreign invaders in the west. Although they had calmed down Lingxue, if she became the king and joined all the other kingdoms, the situation would not be good for the imperial court.

Ling Xiang had no choice but to reconsider and review the situation.

In his heart, he quickly came to a conclusion as to which was more important: the phoenix body or the dukedom.

"How can This King believe that after you go to the dukedom, you will send the Empress back?" Ling Xuejian finally asked.

Wen Han pursed his lips and smiled again. "This is very simple …"

Ling Tian woke up quietly and saw the mute girl's curtain at the side.

The light was dim, this was the underground palace that she was very familiar with.

This place hasn't been found by Lingxiu?

Ling Tian sat up, holding her head, her head was hurting as if she had a cold.

When the curtain saw her awake, it immediately handed her an overheated handkerchief.
