Chapter 53: Feelings at the Bottom of the Cliff
. :
The speed of wind, the feeling beyond death, countless pictures flashed. At this moment, Qin Ning thought of many things. There was even a moment when he thought it would be better to die like this. Anyway, he had the extremely noble emperor to accompany him, and he would not lose anything if he died.
"Hey, open your eyes." The height of the cliff seemed not ideal. She reached the bottom of the cliff before she even felt anything. What's more, the bottom of the cliff disappointed her even more. There were rocks, weeds, rotting corpses and bones. There was no scenery to speak of. It even emitted an unpleasant smell that stimulated her sensitive sense of smell.
Hearing the teasing voice next to her ear, Qin Ning was suddenly awakened from her thoughts and looked at the person so close to her in surprise.
"We are fine." A thousand-foot cliff. Could it be that these were just his hallucinations? Qin Ning was a little doubtful whether what he had just experienced was real. He shook his head with doubt, but only saw misty clouds. He had to believe that he was really at the bottom of the cliff, and he jumped off the cliff without any injury. It was really magical.
"Don't ask such stupid questions. This is not like you." Seeing Qin Ning looking up at the sky, she suddenly came to a conclusion that even the smartest people can be stupid sometimes.
"You..." Qin Ning heard the emperor's ridicule and naturally wanted to refute, but she instantly realized the other party's identity, swallowed the words on her lips, and suddenly knelt on the ground, "I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty."
He is stupid, otherwise why would he think that this woman was going to commit suicide, otherwise why would he jump down to save her? If he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't be laughed at by this woman here. He is not only stupid, he is completely stupid.
"What crime have I committed?" Tsk tsk, he admitted his mistake in such an unconvinced manner, without any sincerity at all. However, she did not feel angry, but found it amusing instead.
"He is disrespectful and rude. He is also self-righteous and meddling in other people's business." Anyway, he has said everything he should and shouldn't say, and he has done everything he should and shouldn't do. What is there to be afraid of? If the emperor wants to punish him, then let him. He has never been afraid of her before, and he is not afraid of her now. The worst that can happen is death. He, Qin Ning, would never bow to her again even if he dies.
The resentment in Qin Ning's tone was too obvious, and the expression on his face changed from cold and arrogant to arrogant and resolute. Even when he was kneeling on the ground, people could not feel his submission. Qian Heliyou saw all of this and asked, "You are angry, why?"
She was the one being scolded, and she didn't say anything, but why was he the one being angry? Qian He Li You couldn't figure it out.
Qin Ning became even angrier. She actually asked him why he was angry. Did she really want to piss him off to death?
"How dare I be angry?" Qin Ning said stiffly. Of course he was angry, but he was just angry about why he was so stupid.
"A man who says one thing and thinks another, but it doesn't matter. We have plenty of time to talk slowly." She didn't have so much curiosity before, but after she came here, the longer she got along with these people, the more she found herself paying attention to their emotions. Sometimes she found it novel, sometimes she found it interesting, and she was not surprised by this. She could control everything, but she could not control the human heart. The human heart is hard to predict, the world is unpredictable, and the reason why people are complicated is because they have thoughts, and she has not had a deep contact with them in thousands of years. Now these people here belong to her, she wants to know what they are thinking, she thinks it is her right.
Qianhe Liyou said this and found a clean boulder to sit down. It was still early and she was in no hurry to go back. Although the scenery here was not good, the deathly aura was heavy due to years of accumulation and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, which was what zombies loved most.
Qin Ning knelt on the ground feeling a little helpless. The emperor looked casually as if he was here for fun, and he didn't take his provocation seriously at all. He was not angry, nor did he scold him. This calmed his originally somewhat dissatisfied mood. He thought about it, stopped kneeling there, and stood up to look around.
It took Qin Ning about a quarter of an hour to find that this was basically a dead end. There were cliffs on two sides and piled up boulders on the other two sides. There was no way out at all. Up, down, front, back, left and right, five of the six ways were blocked. Unless they went up from where they fell, there was no other way. And the so-called only way out was even more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Qin Ning was sure that he couldn't get out by his own ability, so he couldn't help but look at Qian He Li You who had closed her eyes to rest. Her casual look made him jealous and envious, as if it touched a string buried deep in his heart, making him think of many past events.
He grew up in the spotlight. From his looks to his talent, from his ability to his family background, everyone envied him and chased after him. But who knew his pain and loneliness? His life was destined to be a sacrifice of the family. Not only could he not choose his own preferences, he could not choose his own marriage. His future was in the hands of the family, waiting to be sacrificed at any time.
He refused to accept and he was unwilling to bow to fate, so he seized an opportunity, and this opportunity came from the person in front of him. He didn't know whether it was an accident or everything had been arranged long ago. He saved her and then made a contract with her. She felt that this was the future he had chosen and she would not regret it no matter what. Moreover, his family could not refuse such an arrangement and were very happy to let him enter the palace. Since entering the palace, he has never regretted it. The emperor was licentious, violent and cruel. The more he looked at him, the more disappointed he became. He just lived a peaceful life in the palace. But now everything is different. He can no longer live that kind of peaceful life, because his heart can no longer calm down. All he thinks about is the person in front of him. He is angry and resentful, suspicious and guessing, and unwilling to be lonely.
All kinds of emotions made his mind confused, so he came here every day to ride his horse, trying to calm himself down, but he didn't expect to meet the person he missed here, and such a thing would happen.
Alas, is everything predetermined by heaven? The more you want to escape, the more you cannot escape? He wanted to control his own destiny, but in the end he got deeper and deeper into it, unable to extricate himself. However, how many people in this world can truly control their own destiny? Thinking of this, Qin Ning looked at Qianhe Liyou with more envy. He thought, only the person in front of him could be so wanton, he could do whatever he wanted, even if he was lying in such a desperate situation, he could be so free and easy, as if everything was not in her heart, and as if everything was under her control. It was really enviable.
"Have you seen enough?" Even without opening her eyes, she could feel the complicated gaze lingering on her.
Qin Ning retracted his envious eyes, sighed softly, and shook his head. He didn't want to say anything now, he just wanted to be quiet for a while. Thinking of this, Qin Ning also found a clean place to lie down and closed his eyes.
