"Sir...you look so pretty when you smile..."
Shen Wuyu felt that she must be staring in a trance at this moment, otherwise why would she feel that the person in front of her was glowing, as if he was her whole world.
Seeing her infatuated expression, Ling Wangqing's eyes dodged for a moment. After the confusion in his eyes subsided, he looked at her quietly again, with a touch of tenderness between his eyebrows. He raised his hand and gently stroked her head without saying anything.
This clumsy and stiff technique...
The scene before Shen Wuyou's eyes suddenly shifted, and the next moment her body trembled, and she suddenly woke up. Then she quickly emerged from his palm and stammered -
"Sir, I'm going to do that first... hehe..."
She couldn't explain it clearly, and she retreated and ran to Bai Yumo and the others...
Ling Wangqing, who was standing behind her, saw her hurriedly leaving. His gaze froze for a moment, then he stared at his hand still suspended in the air. A dark and unclear look flashed through his eyes...
"Momomomo——"
She called out softly as she ran over to them, put one hand on one person's shoulder, and formed a secret circle of three people. In a voice that only the three of them could hear, she whispered, "What are you doing?"
"Let me ask you something. Where is Ling Wangqing from?"
"Ah?" Bai Yumo didn't understand why she suddenly acted like this, but she answered truthfully, "He claimed to be an ordinary citizen from the countryside, and the spiritual fire he wielded was a very common one. He only had a sword of high quality, and the rest was ordinary... Although he had a dignified demeanor, he didn't understand the ways of the world in the officialdom. He couldn't possibly be the son of a powerful family, so his words were trustworthy."
"Besides, even if he is a powerful person, you are not bad either! Just that one beast pill is enough for you to live a happy life. There is no need to scare him away, right?" Bai Yumo asked.
"So...what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know either..." Shen Wuyou withdrew his hand and covered his pounding heart, his eyes darting around without focusing, "I just suddenly felt a little panicked..."
"Ah~ I'm so nervous~" Bai Yumo laughed teasingly, "Will you still be infatuated with love next?"
"Stop making trouble." Yan Qingli patted her and stopped her.
She knew that Shen Wuyou would have difficulty in finding love, so she observed her expression more rationally and asked, "Do you think there's something wrong with him?"
"Um..."
Shen Wuyou nodded slowly and explained:
"I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I always feel that the way he touched my head just now was very similar to the Demon Lord... For a moment, I almost thought it was the Demon Lord who suddenly jumped out and stood in front of me. I was so scared!"
"What does it feel like?" Yan Qingli asked.
Shen Wuyou stroked his chin with one hand and thought seriously:
"It's just... clumsy and stiff. It feels like being slapped on the head and then wondering whether to open my head! It's scary!"
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Yumo and Yan Qingli both fell into a strange silence, with expressions that were difficult to describe and quite interesting.
Shen Wuyu was so engrossed in her talk that she didn't notice for a moment. When she realized something was wrong, the two people in front of her were looking at her quietly with a friendly expression of care for the mentally retarded.
"Tell me, is there any possibility that he is related to the Demon Lord—...Uh, what are those expressions on your faces?"
Bai Yumo raised a kind smile, and the patient tone that was deliberately slowed down was unprecedentedly gentle, so gentle that it made people's skin crawl:
"Bao'er, I'd like to ask, if a man is extremely skilled in sex, can easily speak sweet words, and can easily coax girls into a frenzy...
"So you would believe that he is a man who has never been in love and has never touched a girl's hand?"
"Of course not! Even if you have a wealth of theoretical knowledge, the first time you put it into practice, you'll still—"
Shen Wuyou was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized something and blinked blankly:
"So, you're saying that he's never had any contact with a woman, so it's normal for him to be clumsy?"
"It's not just him. Any man who hasn't had contact with a woman in decades will be nervous and stiff when holding hands or touching heads for the first time. Not to mention the Northern Territory Demon Lord, who hasn't had contact with a woman for three hundred years."
Bai Yumo explained with her experience: "You feel that his movements are the same as the Demon Lord's. Doesn't this just prove that he has never been so intimate with a woman before?"
“That makes sense…”
Shen Wuyou felt that she was right, but he always felt uneasy and had a strange feeling that he couldn't explain.
She looked at Yan Qingli again, and the other party nodded in agreement.
Since two people who had been in love said so, Shen Wuyou could only think that he was overthinking it.
But please forgive her for being frightened by the Demon Lord just now, she needs to calm down a bit...
As the sky darkened and night fell, the temperature dropped sharply again, and the wind was cold and biting.
They gathered around the campfire, planning their next route.
Located in the north, the Canglong Kingdom was originally cold and dry, with a water shortage. However, this lack of water often led to disputes among various factions over water resources, causing great suffering for the common people.
Therefore, decades ago, the Canglong Kingdom had a deal with the predecessor king of the neighboring Huangquan Kingdom, digging ice beds, melting ice, and spending huge sums of money to build some important lakes.
But this move has both advantages and disadvantages.
With the abundance of water resources, the air became much more humid, and the climate of the Mosasaur Kingdom changed from a tolerable dry cold to an unbearable biting wet cold.
Therefore, as a last resort, the Canglong Kingdom had to purchase high-quality charcoal and fire from the Huangquan Kingdom every year, which cost the national treasury a huge amount of money.
Therefore, they have coveted the Phoenix Power Kingdom for a long time.
While the two nations maintained a harmonious and enduring friendship on the surface, they were secretly plotting and plotting for a long time. For example, with the recent rumors about the Empress of Phoenix Power, besides the evil spirit, the Canglong Nation had the most extensive involvement.
"It's so scary..." Shen Wuyou, who figured out all this, shivered and wrapped himself tightly in his small cloak, his nose tip red from the cold.
The predecessor of the Phoenix Power State, that is, the country ruled by the father of the current empress, had already grasped the lifeline of the Canglong State at that time, and used the people's livelihood to guide it step by step, using the people of the Canglong State to force the Canglong State to seek help from them, and then naturally laid hidden dangers, forcing the Canglong State to spend money to buy charcoal, step by step depleting its treasury.
The treasury is empty, where will we get food and fodder to support the army?
By then, the Canglong Kingdom was so weak that it had no choice but to increase taxes to fill the treasury.
Life is already difficult for the people, and now they are being squeezed to the last nerve by heavy taxes. Once they lose their minds, they can easily be instigated to rebel.
Even after being sold, he still had to look grateful and help others count the money.
By then, the Phoenix Power Kingdom only needs to sit firmly on the throne, waiting for the internal strife in Canglong to start a mutiny, and then open the door to beg them to come in.
Conquer the enemy without fighting...
This move is brilliant!
