"What about warm and cold?" The first thing Ling Tian said was to ask where the ice stick had gone to.
"You're awake?" A cold voice came from the entrance of the cave. He had already changed into a new set of clothes. The long white robe that he was wearing was now stained with blood.
Somewhere in the cave, there was a bloodied girl with a face very similar to Ling Tian Qing's. Her right wrist was covered in blood and she had already lost too much blood. The cold had entered her bones and she no longer breathed.
"Popsicle, we're back?" Ling Tian Qing jumped down from his bed the moment he saw him. Although he felt a little dizzy, he was still exceptionally happy to see such a familiar place.
This was the most comfortable place she had ever spent her life in. Over 30 months, she would never forget it. Although it was a gloomy underground palace, compared to the imperial harem, it was like heaven …
"I'm back." When Wen Han saw her pounce on him, her eyes revealed a trace of warmth and gentleness.
"Then why did you make me faint?" Holding his cold waist, Ling Tian Qing suddenly thought of something, so he let go and asked curiously.
Wen Han stared at her, but in her expression, there was only curiosity, no anger, no anger.
"Do you want me to hide the secret passage from you?" Seeing that he did not answer, Ling Qing wrinkled his nose and said resentfully, "It's not like I'm going to run. You're always being so careful."
"Hungry? "To eat." Wen Han had always been cold, and was not good at using words to express his feelings.
When he did things, he rarely used words to explain. It was similar to when Ling Jing encountered certain places, where he was domineering and forceful, but only slightly different.
When Ling Jin met with different people, he would use different Overlord Techniques. As for the warm and cold ones, they would always be ice-cold towards each other.
"Is there meat? I really want to have a feast! " Upon hearing "eat", Ling Tian Qing's eyes lit up. Her stomach seemed to be empty, as she had slept for an unknown amount of time.
"Yes." Wen Han pulled her by the wrist through the clothes and sat down at the table. "Curtain curtain, bring me more clothes."
Her body was somewhat cold, and although she was brimming with energy, her condition was clearly not the same as it was before.
It was all because of the pill's effect that time …
It was all his fault.
He swore that as long as she was by his side in this lifetime, he wouldn't let this little girl, Zhu Yan Dan, take any further action.
Wen Han took the Gold Fox fur cloak from Han Que's hands and helped Ling Tian put it on. His cold fingers tried to avoid her soft skin as much as possible.
The underground palace was colder than it was outside. She knew that her body was cold, so she could only touch her under the sunlight.
"Wen Han, if you have the chance in the future to become king, remember to set a law governing the protection of animals." While stroking the golden fur of the fox, Ling Tian Qing suddenly thought of something and said.
She didn't say, "I'll make it up for you..."
And Wen Han was thinking about other things, so he didn't notice that her tone was off.
In the past, Ling Tian Qing had always said that he would do this for you, do this for you, do this for you, and get education for you …
But now, Ling Tian Qing did not want to do it for him.
"What method?" When Wen Han saw how soft and soft the fox fur made her feel, his heart softened as well.
"Animal law." Ling Tian Qing looked at him and smiled, "The laws are sound, the living environment is better, and the country is easy to manage." "If you become king, don't learn from him. Think of yourself as a law …"
"You're not going back to Earth?" Wen Han suddenly interrupted her and asked.
"I might not be able to go back." Ling Qing's smile finally became somewhat bitter.
She had been experimenting for so long. Without advanced instruments and technical support, it was already a blessing for a scientist to be able to protect himself in such a place. It was basically useless.
"It doesn't matter, I will become your family." Her ice-cold voice had a trace of warmth in it as she stared intently at him.
He was selfish. He hoped that she could not go back. She could only stay in this world and accompany him for generations, watching as he built his career and became an enlightened king.
"Warm cold …" Ling Tianqing said emotionally in her heart.
In this world, no one had ever said the words "be your family" to her. This sentence might have been ordinary, but to Ling Tian Qing, who had come here alone, it stuck close to her heart and warmed it.
"Eat something first." The warm and cold face faced her and faintly smiled, like a blooming spring flower. Long and slender fingers held her hand, afraid that her fingers would freeze over them.
There were already maids serving exquisite meals to the table.
"How fragrant!" When Ling Tianqing saw the delicious dishes, she immediately looked at them. Swallowing her saliva, she picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.
It seemed like she hadn't eaten meat in days, which was why her recent resistance was so poor!
Mn, there was such a table full of dishes. To have such a person sitting at the table, it really did feel like home.
But... I wonder how long this warmth will last.
Wen Han had been looking at her silently this whole time. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his ice-cold eyes were like a pool of spring water that dispersed, suffusing a sparkling gentleness.
Upon encountering Qi, Ling Jin's anger assaulted his heart. He swallowed three pills in succession before stopping the blood from scurrying about.
Under the waterfall, the spring water was gradually calming down, as if there was still blood on it.
"Wen Han is deceiving the king today. The King of Japan will definitely return with double the price tomorrow." Ling Jin looked at the imperial guards searching the mountain, and said in a low voice, one word at a time.
"Your Majesty, we should return to the palace first. Your body needs to be carefully nurtured." Green Shadow said as he reached out his hand to let Ling Zhi touch it.
"His Majesty is feeling sorry for the Empress. After losing so much blood, I wonder if Wen Han can help her recover." Flower Speaker squatted beside the clear spring, stirred the water, shook her head and said.
"That may not be the Queen." Ling Zhi was not angry about what Flower Speaker had said, he was just thinking about how to deal with Wen Han and Ling Tianqing.
"If it's not the Queen, then why did the king agree to his conditions?" Bai Yi could not help but ask, "Why don't we rush up and take him down?"
"It doesn't matter if she's the Empress, Wen Han controls the Queen, and the distance is too far for us to determine. If it really is the Empress, once we make a move, we'll be at a disadvantage." Mo Yang continued.
"His Majesty does not wish for anything to happen to the Empress." Green Shadow lowered his eyes and sighed.
Ling Xuanxin closed his eyes and turned around. "Stop searching and return to the palace."
It was precisely because of these various concerns that he was able to show such restraint.
If Wen Han really did kill Ling Tianqing, with the death of the phoenix, the situation would become unstable.
And when he agreed to bestow the dukedom with warmth and coldness, it was still equivalent to giving it away to the warm and cold half of the world, burying both its hidden dangers and its roots of misfortune.
However, if this could be exchanged for the Phoenix Physique, the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages.
At the very least, it would require a few years of rest within the dukedom.
After the peace was over, the army would have to be trained and ready to invade. At that time, the Phoenix Body might have already given birth to a dragon for him.
Chaos was unavoidable. If they could delay the war for a few years, then they could tide through the red sheep and red horses of the imperial court and send troops to the various kingdoms to ensure the safety of the people of the Midlands.
This was the only option left to him. It seemed like he had won this round, killing almost all of the people with a cold attitude. However, little queen's bargaining chip was just too heavy. Not just half of the world had fallen.
Thousands of those warm and cold death warriors could not even compare to half of Ling Tian Qing's life.
Wen Han had Ling Tian Qing as a bargaining chip, yet he barely managed to turn the loss into a profit as he tied with Ling Qing.
Ling Jingjing opened his eyes and returned to the palace. Since he had already agreed to the conditions of being warm and cold, it would not be a good thing for Ling Qing if he sent more people to search the palace.
After the group had left, the king's aura gradually dissipated. In the pond under the waterfall, carnivorous fish jumped out and swam around. Smelling the smell of the blood, they started to get irritated.
If the phoenix body blood fell into the spring, it would definitely not cause the carnivorous fish to become angry.
The valley once again became empty. Not long after, the birds also noticed that the king's aura had gradually dispersed. They circled in the air and searched for food. Only the forest with a radius of several hundred zhang was left scattered on the ground, indicating that this area had been affected by the king's wrath.
Seven days later, an imperial edict came from the capital, bestowing upon them the title of monarch of the three kingdoms in the southwest.
The dukes still paid tribute year after year, submitting to the heavens. However, the three kingdoms were merged together, giving the name Yuan Zheng.
The fourth duke of the capital became the third duke.
In order to make up for the lack of food, Su Qi Huan, who had accomplished great things in the process of controlling the river and cooking water, became the marquis who was chosen in Ling Chen's heart.
It was just that it was not the right time to mention the title of marquis. When Ling Xiang came across the matter of Ling Qing, he felt a headache coming on.
In the Dragon Pavilion, the handsome young divine emperor was resting with his eyes half closed. The milky white spirit spring water was slightly dimmer than before.
The poison under the warm chill could not be completely dispelled in a short period of time.
The imperial harem was abnormally quiet. The palace maids were all walking on tiptoe, afraid that they would be shocked by the dragon's aura.
This time, when the king returned to the palace, he looked abnormally haggard. He seemed to be sick, and his emotions were cold and erratic. More than ten palace maids had already been punished, making people's hearts unsettled.
In the Dew Palace, Sui Tianxiang quietly sat by the bedside, waiting for the holy carriage.
For seven days after his return, the king had not summoned any beauties, but seemed to be busy with the affairs of the land. At night, he would either call his subjects to an audience in the royal study or in the Dragon Tower.
Sui Tian Xiang couldn't help but stand up, looking out of the window, hoping to see the lantern in the palace clearly.
"Beauty Sui, the King has turned to the Aroma Seeking Palace, you don't need to wait any longer, please return to the Fragrant Sky palace." Outside, a palace maid walked in and said to Sui Tian Xiang.
"Fangfang Hall?" Sui Tian Xiang's eyes flashed with a watery ray of light. That was where Zhou Fangyi lived.
She knew all along that the little girl was extraordinary, an absolute fox spirit.
Moreover, Zhou Fangyi seemed to have the shadow of a little queen on her body.
Zhou Fangyi and Ling Qing's personalities were completely different, but she did have the shadow of a little queen in some places.
