Chapter 255: Enough to Establish
"Black Steel? ...I see."
Yun Qingqing looked at the annotation and understood.
"No wonder Yuwen Ye used this blueprint as a gamble. He had expected that even if you got the blueprint, you wouldn't be able to find the black steel and still wouldn't be able to successfully make this mechanical crossbow."
Without the right materials, no matter how exquisite the drawing is, it is just a piece of waste paper.
Yun Qingqing couldn't help but sneer. This Yuwen Ye was indeed a cunning guy and was always using these little tricks.
She closed the scroll, looked at Xiao Changheng, and pointed to the map:
"Where is your destination?"
Xiao Changheng stretched out his bamboo-like slender fingers and tapped twice at one spot.
Yun Qingqing looked carefully and saw a small county town in the southeast corner of Pingzhou.
Ding County.
Yun Qingqing nodded, looked at him seriously and said:
"Okay, I'll go with you, so we can save time on the journey. I'll go and deal with the Heavenly Tribulation, and you guys go to Ding County. I'll leave you with some means of saving your lives in advance."
Xiao Changheng frowned and said calmly:
"There is no rush to find materials. I will go with you to deal with the Heavenly Evil Tribulation first."
"No need." Yun Qingqing's eyes flickered slightly. Looking at the faint black air around him, she rejected him with some annoyance in her heart.
"This matter is of great importance. You are responsible for the fate of the country. There is no need to take risks."
"Yun Qingqing." The man suddenly stepped forward and looked down at her. "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
"......?" Yun Qingqing was a little confused by his sudden question.
She suddenly remembered the mosquito's legs again, and could not help but grit her teeth and frowned:
"What tricks are you going to play this time?"
"Fancy?" The man's eyes darkened, he put his arms around her waist, stared down at her, and spoke in a deep voice.
"You are the only wife of my life. Now there is a great disaster in Pingzhou. Do you want me to let you go alone to face the danger?"
"Yun Qingqing, do you have a heart?"
Yun Qingqing: “…”
She looked at him and opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
For the rest of my life...my only wife?
The light in his eyes gradually grew brighter, and the causal line connecting the two of them had completely solidified into bright red. Yun Qingqing was suddenly more confused than ever before.
Why is this different from what she thought?
She pursed her lips and spoke carefully:
"You are no longer interested in me now, so how do you know that you won't have someone else in your heart in the future? Do you still need to be sure that you must make me your princess?"
Xiao Changheng stared at her with dark eyes that became increasingly deep, and said word by word:
"You didn't believe what I said before entering the formation last night, so I will repeat it again now."
"Yun Qingqing, the only condition of this deal I'm making with you will never change."
"This king's wife can only be you!"
Yun Qingqing listened to him quietly, her eyes gradually becoming dazed.
On the wedding day, the man publicly rejected the emperor's proposal to take a concubine for him, and insisted that they would be together for the rest of their lives. She thought he was just playing around.
Before they severed their relationship, he proposed that they should not divorce in this life. She felt that the situation was different at that time and she didn't think he was heartless and would insist that she was the only one he could have.
This doesn't make sense at all.
But now he still insisted that he only recognized her as his wife, and even that their marriage was already sealed, which made her feel that cutting off the relationship was a joke.
He no longer liked her, so why did he have to keep her by his side?
Yun Qingqing suddenly remembered Zhiluo's words, and the word "possessiveness" rose clearly in her mind.
She unconsciously clenched her fists, stared at the man in front of her, and said softly:
"Why?"
Xiao Changheng was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what she was wondering about.
"Why do you insist on being my wife even though you are so heartless to me? Don't you think this is weird?"
"Strange?" Xiao Changheng narrowed his eyes and looked at her, then reached out and gently lifted her chin.
"Yun Qingqing, do you feel that only your Dao heart counts, and others' are not worth mentioning?"
"......?" She looked at him blankly.
The man stared into her eyes and said word by word:
"Because I swore in public that we would be together forever."
"Based on the promise I made to you, we will never separate in this life."
"Isn't that enough?"
Yun Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. The man's dark gaze was so deep that it seemed to suck her in.
She lowered her head, let out a long breath, and chuckled:
"You're right...I'm possessed."
There is no need to ask so many questions. A promise is enough.
