...
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Shen Zhao turned away indifferently, a faint smile always on his face.
Looking into Shen Zhao's empty eyes, Yu Xiyan was at a loss for words. After a long while, she asked coldly, "You know you'll be alright, don't you?"
Shen Zhao nodded silently, his face calm and expressionless, revealing no emotion.
This infuriated Yu Xiyan even more: "So, everything that happened before was a lie to me?"
Shen Zhao took a light breath: "Your Majesty, may I ask what I lied to you about?"
Yu Xiyan paused.
Yes, what did he lie to himself about?
"Whom Your Majesty wishes to save is Your Majesty's own choice. I will not make things difficult for Your Majesty. After all, in Your Majesty's heart, what is more important is your own decision."
Moreover, I never asked Your Majesty for help from beginning to end. Your Majesty saved outsiders and abandoned me; you must have your own reasons, and I dare not try to influence Your Majesty's thoughts.”
After saying that, Shen Zhao maintained that faint smile and turned to walk forward.
At the same time, Lin Feng also arrived.
When he saw that Shen Zhao was safe and sound, a fleeting look of disappointment crossed his eyes.
He immediately put on a feigned concerned expression and asked, "General, His Majesty was just worried about you. Do you know that His Majesty knew you might..."
"roll."
Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, Shen Zhao didn't even glance at him, and with a single, light word, shut him up completely.
"You, I'm just..."
"Get out of here. Don't make me repeat myself a third time. You idiot don't deserve to speak."
For a moment, Lin Feng was so intimidated by Shen Zhao's imposing gaze that he felt his scalp tingle and dared not utter another word to provoke him.
"Shen Zhao! Lin Feng is just concerned about you, why are you acting so distant and unapproachable?"
Seeing Lin Feng being scolded, Yu Xiyan immediately yelled at Chen Zhao.
"Are you resenting me for saving Lin Feng first and not you? Lin Feng is only at the peak of the Profound Void Realm, and he simply cannot withstand the cold of this icy wilderness, so I..."
Shen Zhao interrupted her, "Since Your Majesty knows that his cultivation is low, why do you still bring this burden along? May I ask Your Majesty, what contributions did this good-for-nothing make on this trip to the Ice Plains and Snow Regions?"
On the contrary, it was he who repeatedly risked his life, acting like a giant baby needing constant care. Without him as a burden, would they have been besieged by the icy beasts or caught in an avalanche? I alone would have prevented such a situation from occurring.
These words left Lin Feng speechless.
Yu Xiyan was even more furious: "Shen Zhao, Lin Feng only chose to come along because he was worried about our safety. He's not a burden. Why can't the two of you get along peacefully? Why do you have to be at odds with each other..."
“If he’s not a burden, why can’t he even save himself? As for peaceful coexistence, I’m sorry, I simply can’t talk and laugh with a fool.”
"At least, no matter how incompetent I am, I can still survive this snowdrift without needing Your Majesty's help."
Because before taking any action, I consider all possible adverse factors and therefore devise at least two strategies in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Instead of acting impulsively and rushing headlong into things, which would only make a mess of the situation, just like today's avalanche, I had considered everything.
Otherwise, Your Majesty might not even be able to find my body.
Yu Xiyan was stunned, while Lin Feng looked at Shen Zhao with a face full of resentment.
When it comes to the skill of charming women with sweet words, Shen Zhao may not be as good as Lin Feng.
However, when it comes to practical operation and well-thought-out strategies, Lin Feng and Shen Zhao are on completely different levels.
"There's no need to say more, Your Majesty. I understand what you're trying to say, but Your Majesty, cultivation is not child's play. Those without strength should stand quietly to the side and not cause trouble. May I ask, Your Majesty?"
If you didn't have such cultivation today, would you dare to venture into this icy snowfield? How many powerful figures have coveted the Xuan Yin Snow Lotus, which is ten thousand years old? How many did he deal with?
He was of no help whatsoever throughout the entire process. What exactly is he doing here? Besides repeatedly creating formidable enemies for us, what other purpose does he serve?
"It's not that I'm being harsh, but even bringing a dog along would be more reliable than his useless behavior of constantly trying to get attention."
"Shen Zhao! Don't go too far!"
Seeing that Lin Feng's face was stiff from being rebuked and he was about to lose face, Yu Xiyan finally couldn't help but shout in a deep voice.
"Lin Feng was brought by me. If you have any complaints or grievances, you can come at me. It has nothing to do with Lin Feng!"
"Your Majesty would not dare. Since Your Majesty is so protective of him and thinks he is useful, then Your Majesty can make the decision. Why bother telling me so much? I am unwell, so I will return to the Po Jun Mansion first. Farewell."
"you……"
Before Yu Xiyan could reply, Shen Zhao left her with only a lonely silhouette.
As he passed Lin Feng, he added contemptuously, "Your clown-like behavior in the snowy region is truly a feast for the eyes, filling the entire snowy region with your despicable aura."
Lin Feng trembled with anger, wanting to retort, but Shen Zhao turned and walked away without looking back.
Recalling that scene from the past, Yu Xiyan suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation, so oppressive that she could hardly breathe.
Much later, she learned that Shen Zhao had barely managed to climb out of the snow vortex, which was thousands of degrees below zero, by burning his inner energy and destroying his own foundation.
Shen Zhao was already covered in wounds from the cold air that had entered his body. It wasn't until he returned to the Po Jun Mansion and secluded himself for two whole months that he was able to get rid of the bone-chilling cold.
During this period, she did not visit Shen Zhao even once.
She swore that she was genuinely worried about losing Shen Zhao, and her heart was breaking the moment the second avalanche occurred.
