Furthermore, he only had to taste a few mouthfuls of each dish, so it was good to give her the rest!

Undeniably, Ling Qing was very afraid of Ling Lingzhi, which was why she would rather kneel than speak to him and ask him to scram …

However, there was also a hint of childish stubbornness in them.

Ling Tian Qing was very rarely punished, and only once did he argue with that strict teacher about the academy and get punished to stand outside the elite class in the future.

She stood in front of the world's brightest and most arrogant students for an entire night. No matter who came to persuade her, she would not leave.

In the end, the principal and the top teacher on the board of directors made their move and ordered the teacher, who clearly had a wrong theory, to apologize. Only then did she drag her numb legs and leave.

Ling Tian was a stubborn man.

Even though she was like an ordinary little girl at times, afraid of death, afraid of pain, hoping to live on …

As for Ling Zui, he had long since felt the stubbornness and strangeness of this girl.

She seemed to be someone who could not be forced into a corner.

Even if it was torture, it couldn't exceed the limits of what she could endure. Otherwise, she would dare to force herself on him with her death.

For example, when she had been caned that day, her attitude had been one where she would rather die than die.

Today was about the same as that day. After kneeling on the floor for such a long time, his knees must have gone numb, right?

He could hear her stomach growling as she continuously gulped …

But even so, she was unwilling to beg him. Sometimes, this girl seemed really silly.

Of course, Ling Chen did not want to force her to her death, he just wanted to test her bottom line.

"Hungry?" The faint voice was as warm as the spring wind, yet it carried a terrifying might, pressing down on Ling Qing's heart.

Ling Tian Qing did not want to admit that he was hungry, but he still nodded his head in silence.

The aroma of the dishes was simply too appetizing.

That damned explanation, it was too alluring …

"If you're talking to This King, I'll allow you to get up." Ling Xuanxuan wanted to test her, but because she was in a good mood today, she actually received a victory report from Ling Xue at the border.

Without waiting for the little girl to answer, Ling Xuexin looked at her jade dress and said, "Her green sleeves are flowing with the wind."

Hearing this, Ling Tian replied without thinking, "Dragon Travelling Golden House."

The sky outside was a bit dark, and the night pearls were carved with dragons and phoenixes. They shone with a light akin to swimming dragons and dancing phoenixes.

Although it was not very neat, but it was a match.

A hint of a sneer flashed past Ling Xuanxuan's eyes. "Stand up."

Ling Tian Qing stood up slowly, her knees tingling. She was unable to move a single step as she held onto the bookshelf and rubbed her knees with her head.

"If you can still match This King's first verse, then allow me to accompany you by your side." Ling Jin asked when he saw that she still wanted to test him.

"If on... Can I go back? " Ling Qing gave out his conditions in a low voice.

"Do you think that you have the qualifications to bargain with This King?" Ling Xin was in a very good mood today, so when he heard her words, he did not lose his temper.

Ling Tian Qing kept his mouth shut. All right, as long as he did not spank, everything would be fine.

"If the Flood Dragon doesn't appear, the Cloud Locking Ten Thousand Miles Mountain will be locked."

The voice was melodious and carried the aura of the Son of Heaven.

"The young Phoenix soars in the sky, while the moon shines with the stars in the sky." Ling Tian Qing blurted out without thinking.

Ling Tian Qing was proficient in classical literature, and had received a special prize for the junior generation's couplet competition. This small couplet wasn't too difficult for her.

However, she was currently very hungry and didn't have the mood to confront him. She didn't have any rewards, so she had to be on tenterhooks as she used her head to place a bet.

Ling Lingcun's fingers tightened slightly. She seemed to casually spit out nine words, yet her words were so majestic and grand. If the moon were to shine brightly, would the stars in the sky still shine?

She was only a young phoenix now, so what kind of situation would she have when she underwent rebirth?

This couplet, beautiful Sui Zi had once matched it.

She was skilled in all sorts of arts and calligraphy, but even so, she could only match them with each other — like a bird or a bird, and like a flower, like the Four Seasons.

Ling Qing then casually mentioned the One Heavenly Star of the Moon.

Before the flood dragon appeared, she was already in the air!

This girl faintly suppressed the aura of others, causing Ling Lingzhi's killing intent to rise in an instant, wanting to eliminate her.

It was a good thing that she was a woman. Although her aura was oppressive, it was unlikely for her to overturn the situation.

Ling Tian Qing did not know what Ling Zhi was thinking. If she knew that the second half of the couplet had almost made her lose her head, she would not have swallowed her saliva so easily.

Accompanying a monarch was like accompanying a tiger. One had to be even more careful when speaking. A single wrong word could bring about a fatal disaster.

She was either a fool or a genius.

Otherwise, he would be able to swallow his saliva at such a time … What future could a person who only wanted to eat possibly have?

Ling Tian Qing heard that and was moved. He immediately said, "Xiaodong Xiaoxi, Xiao Nan Xiao Bei, Xiao Nan Xiao Bei, you know nothing at all."

Her answers were so fluent that she didn't even think about it.

Ling Jingjing's expression finally changed slightly as she lightly clenched her fist. Traces of killing intent surged within her narrow and long phoenix eyes.

Ling Tian Qing used to think that he was a genius student, but ever since he had transcended worlds, he had felt that he was ignorant and ignorant. The universe was vast, and the depth of his wisdom was something that humans could never fully explore.

"Alright." After a moment of silence, Ling Jin softly uttered a single word.

No matter who heard these neat couplets, they wouldn't think that Su Xiaoxiao was a lunatic or a fool, right?

Not only was he not crazy or stupid, he was extremely smart.

However, how could an intelligent woman not know that she was accompanied by a tiger-like companion? Isn't this courting death?

Perhaps, she really was a madman. A madman with a brain that was too intelligent, yet didn't know how to protect herself.

Covering the strange look in his eyes, Ling Lingzhi said lightly, "I want to reward you with a plate of Red Lotus Jadeite."

Ling Tianqing had already been led to the long table by one of the maids. She watched as another servant brought a plate of pleasant green silk with nine delicate red lotuses on it.

Ling Qing was in the Palace and had never seen such exquisite dishes before. She looked at them curiously for a long time before picking up a silver chopstick, picking up a little red lotus and sending it into her mouth.

It felt more like some kind of fruit dessert. It was very fragrant and had a lot of juices.

That emerald green thread seemed to be an extremely small lotus, translucent and fragrant to the nose.

"Your Majesty, I'm done eating. I'll take my leave first. I won't disturb you with your meal." The white jade plate was only the size of a palm. Ling Tianqing quickly finished it, put down her silver chopsticks, and was about to run out.

Although the table full of delicious food was very attractive to her, but sitting across from a living King of Hell, how could she dare to stay?

"Su Xiaoxiao, you sure are bold!" All of a sudden, the young Monarch's voice turned heavy, and a pressure that left no words behind forced its way towards Ling Tian Qing from all directions. "Try taking another step, this king will cut off your legs."

Ling Tianqing did not dare to move as she just stared at the ground, drenched in cold sweat.

Tyrant ah tyrant, wait for her to figure out how to protect herself and how to deal with him!

The reason why he wanted her to accompany him in eating was because he had some things he wanted to ask her.

However, Ling Tian Qing lowered his head and sat down on the chair that the palace maid had pulled apart. He took the silver, chopsticks and gold cup and began to eat without saying a word of thanks.

Only by obediently obeying would she be able to preserve her life and escape from this terrifying place.

However, according to usual practice, she should be dressed up by the palace maids and sent to different residences …

Don't we need to go somewhere else tonight?

"Su Xiaoxiao, do you want to see your family?" Ling Jin came across a golden cup and jade bowl, and occasionally the silver chopsticks would come in contact with a golden jade bowl.

Ling Tian Qing rolled his eyes and nodded, "Yes."

At this time, it should be said that she wanted. Although she wasn't related by blood to Su Qi Huan and the others, in the eyes of this group of people, she was part of the Su Clan.

"If you want to see your family, then be obedient." A warm smile seemed to have appeared on Ling Lingzhi's face as she said indifferently, "Su Xiaoxiao, raise your head and look at this prince."

Ling Qing did not know what this tyrant wanted to do, but after struggling for a while, she still raised her head to look at Ling Chen.

Her eyes were neither humble nor arrogant. They were clear and innocent, like a flower brimming with vigor in the morning, welcoming a ray of sunlight.

Ling Lingcun's black eyes seemed to smile, but also seemed to be filled with ice. No one had ever looked him straight in the eye without reservation. This girl's eyes were clear and lively; she was definitely not a crazy and foolish person.

"Tell me which one of these adults you like best." Ling Xuejian looked at her, raised his pitch-black eyebrows, and asked.

"Huh?" Ling Tian Qing was stunned for a while. He suddenly thought of Ling Xue, but shook her head, "I don't understand."

"Su Xiaoxiao, I'm afraid you still haven't understood the crime of deceiving the monarch, right? "Seeing that your brother is willing to be punished in your place every time, I have been a little too indulgent towards you recently. Indeed, there is no impunity …"

"What did you say?" Ling Tian creased his delicate and pretty eyebrows as a look of shock flashed across his eyes. He had forgotten his title and was about to jump up and ask.

Brother's punishment?

That Su Qihuan, who he had only met once, had substitute her in punishment?

"Otherwise, do you think you can stand here safely?" Ling Lingcun looked at her with a smile that was not a smile. His black eyes were sparkling with splendor, as if a Multicolored Stone had been embedded within the Night Pearl. "Qi Huan has always doted on his family. What a good brother."

"Your Majesty, my daughter knows her wrongs." After Ling Tian Qing had recovered from his shock, he finally confirmed his intentions. He kneeled down on the ground and said, "Please allow my daughter to see her brother …"

She had never thought that the fault she had committed would be borne by someone silently behind her back.

If Ling Xiang didn't tell her, she might never have known that such a thing would happen.

At this moment, Ling Tian Qing's chest was filled with complicated emotions. She did not expect that the youth who had no blood ties with her would be punished for her.

She was a person who distinguished between kindness and hatred, and thus involved the kindness of others for no reason at all. Not only did she have an uneasy conscience, she even deeply blamed herself.
