"It's not that I scared them away, it's that their endurance is too low." Ling Tian Qing explained as he put down the ruler. Sighing, he looked at Wen Han and said, "If only they were as calm as you. They wouldn't be so shocked at what I'm wearing. They wouldn't sweat like rain if they heard what I said …"
"They are not from Earth, so don't hold on to hope and try to change those people." He swept his gaze across her V-shaped collar and reached out his hand to pull her collar up.
His cold fingers touched her collarbone, causing Ling Tian Qing to flinch. He stretched out his hand and held onto her cold hand, rubbing it. "Ice stick, get some sun. You're too cold."
Every time she touched his warm, cold hand, she could not help but pull him over and help massage it. She breathed, hoping to warm him up a little.
Although it was useless to do so, every time Ling Tian Qing rubbed his hands, he would think about how when he was young and out in the winter, his father would use his big, warm hands to wrap her little hands.
Ling Tian Qing felt that this was the feeling of kinship.
The two of them warmed each other up, giving each other warmth, as if they were family in this world.
Moreover, every time Wen Han made her rub his hands, he would never do anything to him.
She could not imagine what would happen if she were to rub her hands together with a tyrant …
Alas, the shadow left by Tyrant could not be removed from his mind.
Every time she was happy, Tyrant's face would suddenly pop up and sweep away her happiness.
When Wen Han saw that she was trying hard to help him by rubbing his hands, hoping to change his ice-cold physique, a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes and slowly turned into a small flame.
"Popsicle, I had the imperial kitchens cook some nutritious food for you and you can continue with your treatment. Your body will slowly become warm and you won't be this cold anymore." Ling Tian Qing raised his head and smiled at him.
Even though she knew that the warming cold was due to her martial arts cultivation, which caused her body to become cold, and that the warming cold did not affect her body, she still hoped that one day, the warming cold would be like a normal person.
"Little Qing'er, it's been two months." Wen Han suddenly said, looking at her.
Ling Tian Qing was stunned for a while before he understood what he meant.
At that time, he had said that he would give himself two months to prepare, and then Wen Han had never mentioned this matter again.
"Two months... Ah … I'll reply to you tomorrow. " A trace of a sigh flashed across Ling Qing's eyes.
She had wanted to spend more time with Wen Han, but Wen Han couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to chase her away …
A person without desire like Wen Han insisted on marrying because … Was she a phoenix?
Otherwise, according to how quiet and gentle their relationship was, they would be like siblings. How blissful would they be?
Furthermore, Ling Tian Qing did not tell Wen Han about this incident. Even though she had left Tyrant, she was still frightened that she would be caught anytime.
He had been having nightmares all night. When he closed his eyes, he saw Tyrant standing beside her bed, his face covered in blood as he stared at her …
Sometimes she wondered if she had really been branded by Ling Zui.
Every time it was late at night, his mind would deeply carve a handsome face and his voice that sounded like a magic spell:
Her memory was too good. Every word that Ling Zui had said was memorized in her heart, and she would never forget it.
Ling Tian wanted to stay away from everything. Even though deep in his heart, he had already been planted in the shadow of Tyrant, and was unable to erase it.
Thinking about it, it was really scary. If he did not have a good mentality, perhaps he would have been brainwashed by a tyrant and forget who he was and become his slave …
No wonder there were so many loyal people gathered around Tyrant. Those people must have been brainwashed by him.
Wen Han looked at Ling Tian Qing's warm hands and asked in a low voice, "Tomorrow? "Alright, I'll give you three days. Prepare yourself."
"Yes." Ling Qing Qing was still smiling as she looked at him with yearning.
I wonder if Wen Han will be lonely after she leaves …
However, as men who only wished for the existence of mountains and rivers, they wouldn't really care about the existence of a woman, right?
"Little Qing'er, I won't hurt you." Wen Han thought of that night in Jing Prefecture, the day after she had accepted the debt of gratitude … He couldn't help but feel his heart clench.
He had plenty of patience, but not much time. In less than half a month, Ling Chen would send someone to pick her up.
Before that happened, Wen Han would have to obtain the Phoenix Body thoroughly.
He didn't want to hurt her like Ling Zui did, but the situation was pressing …
If she was still not ready after three days, Wen Han could only do things first and explain later.
"I know." Ling Tian then retracted his hand with a smile, "We are family after all."
"You don't have to be afraid." Wen Han had always thought that the biggest obstacle between him and Ling Tianqing was Earth.
Ling Tian Qing wanted to return to Earth, so he did not dare to stay too long in this world. He was afraid that if he ever got the chance to travel back, he would be worried about this place.
Ling Tian Qing no longer had the intense thought of returning to Earth. She had been beaten down by reality to the point that she could only accept her fate and obediently stay in this world, not daydreaming anymore.
Since this was the case, she would no longer have any remaining worries and would happily accept him.
"Mm, not afraid." Ling Tian Qing was still smiling.
Looking at her smiling face, Wen Han suddenly had the feeling that … The feeling of being unable to grasp anything.
The thoughts of Earth's young girls... It seemed to be different from the people here, making him unable to see through it.
"Little Qing Er, you don't want to marry me, don't tell me … You have fallen for someone else? " Wen Han suddenly asked, flustered by her expression.
"Nope."
A very decisive answer, but it made Wen Han even more uneasy.
"Really?" Wen Han took in a deep breath. If there was anyone else in her heart, it would be Ling Zui.
Even if the Phoenix Body and the True Dragon hated each other since ancient times, they would always think of each other, whether it was in the form of love or hate.
He had been afraid.
He was afraid that she might actually think of being noble, after all, that was the first man to take her body away.
"Wen Han, how strange …"
"It's you who's confused!" I don't understand... "I don't understand …"
"Popsicle, haven't you been under a lot of pressure recently …"
Ling Tian Qing did not say anything as her lips were suddenly sealed. Her tongue was as cold as ice. This time, it was not gentle as before as it forced its way into her mouth.
All of a sudden, Tyrant's smell jumped into his brain and it was like a tape was stuck in his head as it replayed non-stop.
Ling Tian Qing reached out to push Wen Han away, but she did not like being kissed. It was like being kissed by someone else, she just liked watching him quietly, and did not offend him at all.
But this time, just as her hand was about to reach her warm and cold chest, she was gripped by an ice-cold hand, held in reverse behind her waist, and then pushed onto the desk. She bit her warm and soft red lips, and her chest heaved up and down: "Only after you follow me will the country be completely safe … "Why aren't you willing to marry me?"
Country... Country again …
Indeed, it was because she had the body of a phoenix that Wen Han was in such a hurry to marry her!
"Popsicle, you're hurting me." Ling Tian then suppressed the pain in his heart as he laid on the hard table. With pain coming from his wrist, he spoke with a frown.
"I've always held you in the palm of my hand and I've never been willing to bully you. Isn't that enough?" As she spoke, she once again covered her mouth that was about to speak. Her cold tongue slipped inside, brushing away the sweet liquid.
He didn't want to even touch her because he was afraid that she would catch a chill. Compared to meeting her in person, wasn't he better?
"Is it because of him? You don't want to marry me, do you? " Wen Han placed one hand on her hands, the other on her face, and asked somewhat sorrowfully.
"Wen Han, you really are an idiot. Let me go first." Ling Tian Qing shook his head.
If she didn't like him, why would she risk her life to stay with him? Why would she return to being a spy to Ling Xuanxuan? Why would she treat him so well?
"I'm not letting it go. I won't let it go for the rest of my life." A warm and cold feeling exploded forth like a tsunami.
He really wanted to … Just let her go like this.
She had endured for so long because she didn't want to be the kind of person that Ling Xuanxuan would meet and leave an impression of disgust for her.
A cold glint flashed through Wen Han's eyes. Forget it, I have to do it no matter what. Whether she's willing or not, time waits for no one. I'll do it first.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Ling Tianqing asked calmly.
"Let me go, I'll tell you the truth." Ling Qing was being suppressed by him to the point that it hurt. She did not like this kind of submission.
Wen Han also realized that he was being too impulsive and silently released his hand.
"Yes, there are other people in my heart," Ling Tian Qing adjusted his posture, rubbing his red wrist as he said softly. "That's because I have yet to erase the memory of my meeting with Ling Jin. This is unfair to you."
Wen Han was slightly taken aback.
"Ice stick, you are such a fool. We are already together, why are you still in a hurry to get married? If the news of you marrying me were to spread and Ling Xiang were to find out, a tyrant like him would definitely not let you off. " Ling Qing continued.
Wen Han had been unwilling to tell her how he had brought her back, and how he had managed to hide it from Ling Jing. Thus, Ling Qing did not ask.
This was because she was afraid that if she asked something she shouldn't have known, it would break such a beautiful and peaceful life.
But that didn't mean she was a fool.
For Wen Han to become the king of these three kingdoms, he must have passed through some extraordinary means. And since there were no movements after such a long time, he must have reached some sort of agreement with Wen Han.
Perhaps it was because Ling Xuanxuan was afraid of something.
According to Tyrant's personality, even if it was something he didn't like, he wouldn't allow anyone to get their hands on it before he personally abandons it.
Furthermore, she was the queen then, so how could Ling Xuanxuan take it lying down?
As such, although Ling Tian Qing was relaxed during this period of time, he still felt uneasy. Nightmares, he always felt that such happiness was not real. He always felt that Ling Qing could appear at any time and capture her.
