This was Murong Xi's first time flying.
It must be said that although she was a little scared at first, when she hugged Jing Zhe tightly, rested her chin on his shoulder, and opened her eyes again to look at everything at her feet, she felt a sense of exhilaration.
So this is what it feels like to fly…
Moreover, he let me experience the feeling of flying…
Murong Xi thought to herself, but dared not turn her head to look at Jing Zhe. Jing Zhe naturally placed his hands on her waist and back, which not only did not make Murong Xi feel disgusted, but also made her feel safer.
Am I the first man to take you flying?
As Jing Zhe led Murong Xifei along, he asked with a smile.
"..."
Murong Xi pursed her lips, her expression somewhat arrogant, and did not answer him.
"Are you feeling scared?"
"Who's afraid?"
Murong Xi said in a cold voice, exuding arrogance.
"Oh, aren't you afraid?"
Jing Zhe asked a question, then suddenly removed his hand from Murong Xi's back and placed it on her shoulder, making a slight push as if to push her away.
This terrified Murong Xi.
"Ah~ What are you doing?"
The fear in his voice could no longer be concealed.
"Didn't you say you weren't afraid?"
"..."
This time, Murong Xi remained silent, her lips pursed as if she were very angry, but Jing Zhe couldn't see it.
"That's strange. I think the Empress should be quite bold. After all, when she saw me kill four people in the tent just now, she didn't even blink. So why would she be afraid of flying?"
"..."
Although Murong Xi was the empress, Yueyao Kingdom had not experienced war for many years. Not to mention killing people, she had only seen beating people after she came to Liangzhou. How could she not be afraid?
In particular, Jing Zhe's way of killing people was too violent. He would kill without saying a word, and he killed four people in a row. The reason why Murong Xi didn't say anything at the time was because she was terrified!
Now that Jing Zhe mentioned it, she recalled the scene of decapitation and the gushing blood, and felt terrible; her stomach churned violently.
"Quick...get down there..."
Murong Xi covered her mouth, pointed to the ground, and spoke anxiously.
Jing Zhe was confused, but he still obediently flew down with Murong Xi. As soon as he put Murong Xi on the ground, he saw her let go of her hand covering her mouth and then vomit.
Perhaps because she hadn't eaten anything that morning, she didn't vomit anything, only some sour water dry heaving from the corners of her mouth. Her face turned pale, and she looked pitiful.
Jing Zhe patted her back and asked, "Feeling better?"
"..."
Murong Xi didn't reply to him, feeling somewhat angry. He insisted on bringing up a scene she didn't want to remember, wasn't he deliberately making things difficult for her?
So she decided to ignore him the whole way as punishment—wait, why is not talking to him punishment?
After thinking it over, Murong Xi herself became a little doubtful.
Jing Zhe didn't care. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Luckily, we're on this desolate grassland. If we were in the city, people would think the Empress is pregnant with my child and is suffering from morning sickness!"
"you--"
At this moment, Murong Xi could no longer remain silent. She suddenly raised her head, her cheeks flushed, and glared at Jing Zhe.
"Shut up!"
"oh."
...
After Murong Xi finished vomiting, they prepared to set off.
Murong Xi stood there looking at Jing Zhe, and Jing Zhe looked back at Murong Xi. The two stared at each other, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Why aren't you leaving yet?
"How do I get there?"
"Same as before!"
"What was that like just now?"
"Just now…"
Murong Xi glared at Jing Zhe again, and said with displeasure, "Are you doing this on purpose?"
Jing Zhe nodded honestly: "Yes."
"..."
Such an honest answer left Murong Xi speechless.
Seeing the beautiful, mature woman's embarrassed expression, which added a lot of her down-to-earth side, Jing Zhe found it quite amusing and chuckled, "No one usually jokes like this with you, right?"
Murong Xi was taken aback, then shook her head and said, "No."
She is the high and mighty Empress Yueyao, and she is usually busy with court affairs. Not to mention that no one dares to joke with her, even if someone did, she wouldn't have time!
"That's not good. Life is only so long. Whether you're happy or unhappy, it's still just one life. Since you can't change the length of your life, why not change yourself and live a happier life?"
"..."
This was the first time Murong Xi had heard such words.
Whether you're happy or unhappy, life is still life, so why can't we be happier?
She suddenly realized that Jing Zhe's words made a lot of sense.
"Don't you think what I said makes a lot of sense?"
As if he could read her mind, Jing Zhe continued, "Then don't always have that long face. Getting angry not only affects your mood, but it also makes you age faster. Look at you, you're only in your early thirties, but you look like you're in your forties. That's why you always have that long face and frown!"
"You—you're only in your forties! I'm only twenty-three!"
As she spoke, Murong Xi's little pink fist landed heavily on Jing Zhe. Jing Zhe didn't dodge, but instead laughed and said, "Haha, so you're only twenty-three!"
"..."
Now Murong Xi realized she had been tricked into revealing her actual age, and punched him again.
"Stop being silly and let's go!"
"How do I get there?"
"Hold me!"
Murong Xi threw another punch, but with very little force, almost like a light touch.
As soon as Jing Zhe picked her up in his princess carry, she wrapped her arms around his neck without any hesitation, and where Jing Zhe couldn't see, the corners of her mouth turned up unabashedly.
When the brows are relaxed, the stars shine brightly.
It turns out that laughing really does feel very comfortable.
After all that teasing and joking, Murong Xi had completely come to terms with it. Since no one here saw that the two of them were in a much more intimate position last night, wouldn't it be self-deception to care now?
So he hung on Jing Zhe's body, watching the changing scenery beneath his feet, and couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking back to what happened in the tent earlier, besides the bloody scenes, she suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, you kept emphasizing that you wanted to find someone you could talk to properly as your king. Since you ultimately chose that Chalm, why didn't you talk to him at all before leaving?"
Jing Zhe smiled and said, "Because I've found what I need, there's no need to talk about it."
"What do you need?"
At this moment, Murong Xi remembered that before leaving the main tent, Jing Zhe had searched through Huyan Lie's corpse and seemed to have found an envelope: "You don't need that envelope, do you?"
"As expected of Empress Yueyao, she is indeed intelligent!"
Jing Zhe sighed and reached out to pat her to express his appreciation, but his hand slid down and missed her waist, instead patting her a little further down.
Hmm, it feels nice...
