Zi Linling heard Ye Lingyuan's cold voice and realized that he had changed his expression without her noticing.
No wonder the air was filled with chill!
Capricious! Truly capricious.
Zi Linling was somewhat bewildered. Weren't things fine just moments ago?
However, Ye Lingyuan had just helped her, and it would seem impolite to confront him.
Therefore, she still said politely, "No! When have I ever disliked you?"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Lingyuan's dark eyes. "No? You've already shown me the guest out, and you say no?"
Show her out?
Zi Linling was stunned. It took her a while to understand what he meant by "showing her out."
He's being so dramatic!
She muttered inwardly and smiled faintly, "Your Royal Highness King of Hell, you misunderstand. I just thought you are a busy person. Your sudden appearance here must mean you have something important to do. I wouldn't want my trivial matters to delay your important affairs, right?"
Now that sounded more like it!
Ye Lingyuan's expression was still somewhat displeased, but a sentence escaped his lips, "Your matters are more important than anything else!"
Ah!
This was... a cheesy pickup line!
Zi Linling strangely studied Ye Lingyuan, almost reaching out to feel his forehead to check if he had a fever.
Ye Lingyuan looked at her and suddenly felt bewildered.
He said with a somber face, "What is with that look? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Are you alright?"
Zi Linling asked back instead of answering.
It wasn't that she was being overly dramatic, but cheesy pickup lines were supposed to be said to someone you liked, weren't they?
Could it be that Ye Lingyuan liked her?
Get real!
She hadn't forgotten the night she transmigrated, and Ye Lingyuan's one word: "Scram."
Although Ye Lingyuan couldn't guess what Zi Linling was thinking, he somehow felt that her question, "Are you alright?" was not well-intentioned.
His expression darkened further.
"What could be wrong with me?"
Zi Linling looked at Ye Lingyuan's face, which was so dark it looked like ink was about to drip. Finally, she confirmed that he wasn't feverish.
Then, had she misheard?
To confirm if she had misheard, she asked a bit dazed, "Your Royal Highness King of Hell, what did you just say?"
Ye Lingyuan's face was filled with dark lines. It seemed Zi Linling hadn't heard anything he said.
However, he still patiently said, "What could be wrong with me?"
Zi Linling shook her head and said, "Not that sentence! The one before it!"
The one before it?
Ye Lingyuan pondered for a moment, his face darkened. "What is with that look? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"No, the one before that!"
Ye Lingyuan's face grew even darker. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your matters are more important than anything else!"
This time, Zi Linling didn't need to prompt him. He himself felt something was off.
When had he ever said such mushy things?
However, saying it didn't seem to cause him any embarrassment.
Zi Linling was now finally sure that she hadn't misheard.
Had this icy King of Hell been swapped out?
Her lips moved as her thoughts did, "Are you truly Ye Lingyuan?"
Ye Lingyuan's face was as dark as ink. His handsome face slowly leaned closer until it was inches from Zi Linling's nose, sharp light flashing in his eyes.
"What do you think?"
Zi Linling was startled by his sudden movement and leaned back slowly.
Her eyes widened, and she said in a flustered tone, "You... what are you doing?"
Ye Lingyuan said with a devilish charm, "Aren't you doubting if I've been swapped? I'll let you see clearly."
His warm breath on Zi Linling's forehead made her heart pound faster.
She could even feel her ears turning hot.
Zi Linling was somewhat flustered, "You... you..."
A hint of a wicked smile appeared in Ye Lingyuan's eyes, and his voice gained some warmth, "How is it? Have you seen clearly?"
"Mm!"
Zi Linling nodded.
Suddenly, her eyes turned sharp, and she kicked towards Ye Lingyuan.
Ye Lingyuan didn't even look. He grabbed her ankle.
Then, his face once again approached Zi Linling's, and he said charmingly, "Woman, are you that eager?"
"Bastard, let go of me!"
Zi Linling was enraged and shamefully tried to yank her leg free from Ye Lingyuan's grip.
But Ye Lingyuan's hand was like a vise, holding her ankle tightly.
Zi Linling struggled but couldn't break free. Instead, due to the excessive force, she lost her balance and began to fall.
Ye Lingyuan was shocked. He yanked her ankle, spinning Zi Linling around. Ye Lingyuan took the opportunity to embrace her slender waist.
Thus, their posture became extremely intimate, their faces almost touching.
A strange, tingling sensation spread through both of them, causing their faces to flush to their ears. Sudan Fiction Network
Fu Liuyun, who had just regained his senses, stared blankly at the scene, dumbfounded.
Long'er tilted his head, looking at them with eyes full of curiosity.
The Wind Wing Phantom Tiger's ears twitched gently. It squatted down, covering its face with its tiger paws in a very human-like manner.
Qing Yu, hidden in the shadows, widened his eyes in disbelief, looking from his prince to Zi Linling, who was held in his arms.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "I never expected the prince, who was always so clueless, to be so fierce once he got going!"
Elder Du of the Nine Spirit Ring shook his head and severed the connection between the Nine Spirit Ring and the outside world.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Suddenly, an angry roar echoed from the valley entrance.
"Ye Lingyuan, you bastard, let go of this queen at once!"
Zi Linling cursed loudly again.
Ye Lingyuan was momentarily stunned, allowing Zi Linling to break free from his grasp.
The emptiness in his hands made him feel a slight regret.
But he had no time to savor the moment, as Zi Linling's attack was already upon him.
"Ye Lingyuan, you bastard, you've taken advantage of me again!"
As Zi Linling cursed, a razor-thin surgical knife appeared in her hand, and she thrust it towards Ye Lingyuan without hesitation.
In her anger, purple light pulsed from the surgical knife.
"Again?"
Qing Yu seemed to have discovered a new continent, his eyes shining with a bright sparkle.
As for Ye Lingyuan's safety, he wasn't worried at all. Zi Linling's cultivation was far too low to harm his prince.
Ye Lingyuan's eyes crinkled with a smile. It was because Zi Linling's furious appearance was too adorable.
Although he sensed the unusual purple light from the surgical knife, with Zi Linling's cultivation, it was not enough to harm him.
After all, in the past few days, his cultivation had also advanced significantly, touching the threshold of the late Saint King realm.
If he hadn't been afraid that Zi Linling would be accidentally injured by her own purple spiritual energy, Ye Lingyuan would not have given her the chance to attack.
