"Xi'er, Xi'er, wake up! I'm here! I've come to save you!"
In his eagerness to save lives, Yin Changling failed to notice that there were no soldiers behind him; the entire group was trapped within the Grand Preceptor's formation.
He wanted to wake Tu Shan Lingxi by himself, but found that he seemed to have no effect at all, as Xi'er could not hear his voice.
"No need to call her anymore. I've used magic to immobilize Xi'er. She can't hear any sounds from the outside world right now."
Wan Qijin's cold voice rang out behind the man, like a demon coming to haunt him and claim his life, making the man tremble involuntarily.
However, when Yin Changling turned around, he found Wan Qijin keeping a distance from him, as if he was wary of something—wary of him?
"Wan Qijin, you dare to hurt Xi'er! I will make you pay the price!"
Yin Changling was truly enraged this time. He could endure being injured himself, but he would not allow Xi'er to be injured, not even in the slightest way.
With a flourish of his sword, he drew it and thrust it at Wan Qijin, but not a single strike landed.
After all that fuss, Yin Changling discovered that Wan Qijin was actually keeping a safe distance this time, unlike her earlier provocative demeanor.
"Wan Qijin, didn't you want me to kill you? Why are you hiding?"
"No, let's talk."
Wan Qijin weighed the difference in strength between the two and realized that he might die, so he made concessions.
That's right, Wan Qijin no longer has the strength to contend with Yin Changling. He can only hide like a stray dog now, otherwise he will not escape death.
Even so, Wan Qijin remained calm and composed, all alone, as if she were an immortal who feared nothing, transcending the mundane world and above all things.
He was not afraid of death; in fact, he was willing to risk everything to face death with equanimity.
But now his life belongs to Xi'er, and it was Xi'er who went through countless hardships to save him. Wan Qijin dares not squander it.
As if they had reached a tacit understanding, Yin Changling stopped when his first attack failed, even though he didn't necessarily want to kill Wan Qijin.
The wind howled past, causing Yin Changling's clothes to flutter and become somewhat disheveled, but this did not diminish his handsome appearance.
Yin Changling knew that if he really killed Wan Qijin, and Wan Qijin was really dead, Tu Shan Lingxi would definitely distance herself from him once she woke up.
He was angry just now, but he has calmed down and wants to hear what Wan Qijin has to say.
Yin Changling didn't think Wan Qijin could come up with a good solution, after all, this man's possessiveness towards Xi'er was no less than his own.
"Wan Qijin, I'm giving you a chance. You'd better explain yourself clearly. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I will definitely kill you."
"nature."
Wan Qijin finally looked at Yin Changling seriously this time. His purple eyes gleamed with a strange light, as if they possessed a unique magic that sent chills down one's spine.
“I know you don’t want to see me, and likewise, I don’t want to see you.”
"In that case, you will take care of the odd-numbered children, and I will accompany them on the even-numbered ones. On that day, neither of us should cause any trouble. Of course, the children will be raised by someone who is free."
Wan Qijin finally agreed, something he had considered long ago, but had previously rejected without hesitation.
Now, he really couldn't do anything to Yin Changling, so he had to resort to this method again. It was a choice made out of desperation.
Yin Changling had never heard of such a strange claim before. He was shocked for a long time, his jaw almost dropping in astonishment.
He, a dignified emperor, had other men by his queen's side. If word got out, wouldn't he be ridiculed as an emperor?
Yin Changling would certainly not agree. He had gone to great lengths to marry her and coax Tu Shan Lingxi into staying by his side. How could he possibly give away the person he had finally won over?
"You... what nonsense are you talking about? Xi'er will never agree, and neither will I."
Yin Changling naturally didn't want that. He wanted to possess her completely, to have Tu Shan Lingxi's heart and eyes filled with him, and not this hateful person!
"Whether Xi'er will agree or not, we should ask her directly whether you dare or not."
Wan Qijin wasn't sure either, but he still wanted to take a gamble, betting that Tu Shan Lingxi still harbored feelings for him...
Thinking this, Wan Qijin didn't wait for Yin Changling's reaction, nor did she give the man a glance. Instead, she wanted to wake up Tu Shan Lingxi directly.
He formed hand seals and cast a spell. After a while, Tu Shan Lingxi seemed to wake up. Her long, thick eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, as if she was about to take flight.
Seeing this, the two men disregarded everything else and rushed over, each wanting Tu Shan Ling Xi to see him first, rather than the other.
They waited anxiously for a long time, only to find that Tu Shan Lingxi simply turned over and fell asleep again.
Asleep...
"Wan Qijin, what have you done to my Xi'er? She won't wake up!"
Yin Changling roared. He hadn't seen Tu Shanlingxi for almost a day, and when he did, she was so tired that she could barely open her eyes.
Adding to the infuriating thing was the bright red mark on the woman's snowy neck, so vivid and glaring, clearly fresh. He knew without a doubt whose handiwork it was.
However, Wan Qijin ignored the impotent and furious man, and instead approached Tu Shan Lingxi, lowering his head and getting closer and closer to her...
That shameless Wan Qijin actually tried to kiss his Xi'er, which made the already furious Yin Changling even angrier, and he kicked Wan Qijin away!
Wan Qijin couldn't dodge in time and was actually kicked so hard that he stumbled and almost fell over.
He looked down and saw a large black footprint on his chest, which was especially noticeable on his white clothes. Wan Qijin's face immediately darkened.
"you--"
"What's wrong with me? This is what you deserve."
Yin Changling was exceptionally arrogant this time, after all, he had been provoked right in front of him, so of course he was anxious.
However, seeing Wan Qijin's disheveled appearance, Yin Changling felt much better. This person was really arrogant and dared to be presumptuous in front of him.
"You bastard! Xi'er is my queen. If anyone should kiss her, it should be me. Who gave her such a thing as a scoundrel!"
"Hmm... Yin Changling, you're here... I'm so sleepy, get lost."
Tu Shan Lingxi was finally awakened by the noise they made. She heard a familiar voice in her ear and thought it was morning, so she mumbled something.
She didn't even open her eyes; the pores on her rosy little face were barely visible.
Tu Shan Lingxi's small, delicate mouth opened and closed, as if she was slightly dissatisfied with being woken up by a man, and she complained aloud.
"...I'm so tired, I need to keep sleeping..."
After complaining, she seemed to have completed some task and fell into a deep sleep again, impossible to wake up.
