Chapter 138 Gift of Rings
Chapter 138 Gift of Rings
He remained unchanged, only keeping his eyes lowered and refusing to look at the two of them.
"Alright, Feng Ling."
She moved her hand away from his back, gently patted the back of his hand, and stood up to leave.
Su Fengling wanted to reach out and grab her sleeve, but after being glared at by Su Fengjun, he withdrew his hand.
As she walked out of the room and closed the door behind her, Su Fengling's smile slowly turned into a cold expression.
He glanced at Su Fengjun with some displeasure: "Brother!"
"Since we are both sons-in-law, we should know our place."
Even when it comes to relationships, he can spout a lot of profound truths.
"Sometimes I really don't understand you. Do you like princesses, or don't you like princesses?"
"Why give her away if you like her?" Su Fengling complained coldly.
"There are many kinds of liking someone." His liking is about silently protecting her from behind, and being happy when she's happy.
Su Fengling's affection is passionate, possessive, and seeks unique and exclusive pampering.
Su Fengjun clenched his fists slightly, secretly wondering what Zhongli Yueluo wanted to discuss with Yan Ruoyu.
Originally, it should have been the two brothers' business to go to Ghost Sorrow Abyss to quell the internal strife. Why should they talk to Yan Ruoyu about it?
Zhongli Yueluo walked very quickly, without even knocking, and pushed open Yan Ruoyu's door to go inside.
Yan Ruoyu was sitting at the table, one hand supporting her face.
He stared at her with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
"Has the princess finished speaking with them?" The voice was gentle, calm, and unwavering, just as it always had been.
"Mm." She walked over and sat down next to him, a faint smile on her face.
"Yin Yi is injured, can we still leave with peace of mind?"
She leaned gently against his shoulder, closed her eyes, and chatted comfortably like an old friend.
"Don't underestimate them. Yin Yi is smart, and Yu Huan is still here."
"And Gongshu Liang has also suffered a heavy blow, so he can't cause any trouble for the time being." He held his teacup and took a sip.
"That's good. I'll go and call Miaoqing over. We'll leave at dawn."
"You want to take him with you? You trust him?" Yan Ruoyu frowned slightly and glanced at her sideways.
Although I knew she wouldn't be swayed by appearances, I still felt uneasy.
"He's my blood bank; it's better to hurt him than to hurt myself."
At this moment, Miao Qing inexplicably felt a chill creep up her spine.
Yan Ruoyu chuckled upon hearing this and gently patted her shoulder.
Zhongli Yueluo sat up straight, propped her chin on her hands, and tilted her head: "Ruoyu, what kind of person do you think Xuegui is?"
When he heard Zhongli Yueluo ask this question, his expression darkened slightly, and his tone became somewhat serious.
"The Snow Demon lives in extremely cold places all year round. It is incredibly strong and can bewitch people."
"Of course, that's what's recorded in the Geographical Miscellany; I don't know the specifics."
Afterwards, Zhongli Yueluo went to call Miaoqing over.
Miaoqing disliked this three-person situation very much.
Although he was somewhat confident in his appearance, he was always afraid when he was stuck in the middle of them.
Miao Qing stood there, watching the two of them sit, even a step away from each other, a hint of fear between her brows.
"Sit down, why are you so far away? We can eat this much, but can't you?" The voice was clear and pleasant to hear.
If I hadn't seen her terrifying side, I would have been completely fooled by her innocent appearance.
He felt somewhat awkward and hesitant as he sat opposite them.
Zhongli Yueluo poured him tea, but he waved his hands repeatedly, as he had a phobia of Zhongli Yueluo's gesture of pushing the teacup away.
"The princess sent me to make the decision because she has something she wants to ask. Please ask directly."
He forced a natural smile, his blue eyes darting around.
"Snow Demon, are you familiar with Cold Stone Lake?"
Zhongli Yueluo didn't beat around the bush with him and asked directly, even though she knew she probably wouldn't get a clear answer.
"That place is cold and damp all year round, and it's said that sunlight rarely shines through it, it's like a snow ghost..."
Seemingly lost in memories, she paused for a moment and then said, "He was an extremely reclusive person who spoke very little."
“I’m not asking about his character, I’m asking about his abilities.” Zhongli Yueluo’s tone revealed impatience.
Miao Qing trembled: "Oh, he's good at freezing blood, making people die in a beautiful dream, it's true..."
"what?"
"He's the princess's nemesis, but he's afraid of fire."
He muttered to himself, looking down, the more he looked into her innocent eyes, the more frightened he became.
"You should come with us this time too. Maybe he'll do me a favor because of you."
Zhongli Yueluo tilted her head and smiled sweetly.
He froze, his face falling. His pride? What pride did he have? He could just not go!
"We're leaving tomorrow morning, so you should get some rest tonight." She flashed a row of pearly white teeth and waved to him.
He responded with an awkward smile; Zhongli Yueluo's smile just now was clearly full of calculation.
Yan Ruoyu didn't understand why he was so afraid of her. She simply walked to the bookshelf next to her and tidied up the books on it.
Then he took out a ring inlaid with ruby from a box on the shelf.
Even from a distance, you could almost feel the warmth emanating from it.
"Princess, wear this. It will prevent cold air from entering your body."
He held the ring in his hand and looked at her tenderly.
“There’s a very strong… your scent on this?” Zhongli Yueluo walked over and looked up at him.
"This was made by mixing the powder scraped off my horn with the volcanic crystals of the Eastern Demon Mountain."
"It's practically my natal magic weapon." His phoenix eyes curved into a smile, his tone slightly coaxing: "Would the princess like to wear it?"
"Yes, why not?"
It sounds like a good product. Although she's currently fragile, she's now protected by magical artifacts, so she feels much more at ease.
He carefully took the ring and gently slipped it onto her ring finger.
The ring was originally a bit too big, but when it was put on her finger, it automatically fit perfectly.
She then felt a warm current spreading throughout her body, making her feel like she could wear two fewer layers of clothing.
"It's so heartwarming, but I have nothing to give you."
Zhongli Yueluo patted herself down in all her pockets, but there was really nothing she could give in return.
Yan Ruoyu patted her head, then slowly slid her fingers down and hooked her chin with her hand.
"The princess is the best gift; no other return gift is needed."
Zhongli Yueluo stared at him blankly, somewhat unable to react.
Zhongli Yueluo made Yan Ruoyu blush, and Yan Ruoyu also gradually blushed.
With her head down and hands gripping his sleeves, not knowing what to say, Yan Ruoyu coughed lightly.
"It's getting late, let's get some rest."
She nodded, let go, walked to the bedside, and took off her coat.
Yan Ruoyu noticed a slight movement in her eyes: "Does the princess wish to rest in my room today?"
She turned around, her eyes devoid of any filth: "Hmm, is there something wrong?"
Just then, a sound came from the corridor, and the two of them looked warily at the door.
The door was ajar, and green light shone through the crack. He Yuhuan and Yin Yi were outside.
Even when he was injured, he didn't forget to observe the two of them.
