Chapter 240 Are you in love with Princess Mantuo?
Another day and night passed, and Zetian and Mantuo stopped at the same time, both exhausted and fell on a distant mountain.
They were breathing heavily, their faces were as pale as paper, and their bodies were trembling slightly.
After continuous fighting, their spiritual power had long been exhausted and they were exhausted, but there was a determination gleam in their eyes.
The two of them lay weakly on the grass and smiled at each other. Zetian suddenly felt better about Mantuo.
He realized that despite their different positions, he sincerely admired the strong strength and tenacity shown by Mando.
Putting aside his identity, Mantuo is truly an admirable opponent.
"You are strong."
Ze Tian lay on his back, his voice carrying a hint of emotion yet being extremely serious.
"the same as you."
Mantuo turned her head and her eyes met Zetian's.
She saw the appreciation and recognition in the other person's eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
This is an indescribable tacit understanding that can only be understood by those who have truly experienced the test of life and death.
Mantuo looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her, her heart suddenly moved, and there was something strange in her eyes.
It was a complex and subtle emotion, containing respect, curiosity, and a hint of subtle shyness.
At this moment, Mantuo felt an unprecedented sense of closeness, as if the distance between her and Zetian had been shortened a lot.
"hehe……."
Zetian turned his head to look at the sky, awkwardly avoiding Mantuo's somewhat naked gaze.
On this side, Lian Ling saw Zetian and Mantuo falling from the air at the same time, and was immediately shocked and her face turned pale.
"Brother Zetian."
She let out a scream and flew towards the place where Ze Tian fell like a stream of light.
“Brother Zetian, Brother Zetian!”
"Ling'er, I'm here."
Ze Tian heard Lian Ling's anxious call and turned over and stood up from the grass.
"Brother Zetian, are you okay?"
Lian Ling felt relieved when she saw Ze Tian standing there safe and sound.
She threw herself into Zetian's arms like a fluttering butterfly, her eyes slightly red.
"I was scared to death."
Lian Ling's clear and pleasant voice was choked with sobs.
"I'm fine. Don't be afraid, Ling'er!"
Seeing the panic-stricken little girl, Zetian couldn't help but hold her in his arms and comfort her carefully.
At this time, Mantuo also turned over from the grass and looked at the two people hugging each other with a complicated expression. For some reason, she felt a little depressed.
"War God Zetian, we've tied this time, but what I said is still valid, let's fight again next time!"
“Go slowly!”
Zetian held the little girl in his arms, said goodbye to Mantuo casually, and turned and left.
Mantuo looked at the two people's backs as they left, without moving for a long time.
In the days that followed, the demon army still clamored and shouted outside Youyun City every day, but they no longer attacked Youyun City.
Mantuo would challenge Zetian to a duel every three to five days, and the two would always end up in a draw.
Lian Ling would follow them every time and witness every fierce battle they had.
As time goes by, the tacit understanding between Zetian and Mantuo becomes stronger and stronger, and the two appreciate and respect each other more and more.
The two of them sympathized with each other, and there seemed to be something different in Zetian's eyes when he looked at Mantuo.
And Mantuo's gaze towards Zetian became even more passionate and fiery, revealing her deepest emotions without any concealment.
Although Lian Ling was innocent and ignorant about some things, she gradually became aware of the strange atmosphere between the two of them.
Zetian and Mantuo ended their duel again. Zetian watched Mantuo walk away, looking absent-mindedly at the front in silence.
Lian Ling followed him silently, feeling a little pain in her heart. Since when did Brother Zetian’s gaze no longer look at me with affection?
She raised her eyes to look at Zetian who was still immersed in his own thoughts and asked softly.
"Brother Zetian, are you in love with Princess Mantuo?"
"Um."
Ze Tian came back to his senses from his thoughts and looked at Lian Ling evasively.
He avoided Lian Ling's clear eyes in embarrassment. The little girl's eyes were too pure and could reflect the unbearableness in his heart.
"Ling'er, don't let your imagination run wild."
He reached out and stroked the top of Lian Ling's head.
Lian Ling's clear eyes still stared straight into Ze Tian's eyes, and she asked stubbornly.
"Brother Zetian, look into my eyes before you answer. Are you in love with Princess Mantuo?"
Zetian didn't say anything, but just stared at Lian Ling's pretty face, which was as crystal clear as jade. Before he met Mantuo, he liked this innocent and kind girl very much.
But only now did he realize that Mantuo was his confidante who was equal to him and had a soul mate with him.
He saw the unbearable and filthy in his heart in Lian Ling's pure and clear eyes. Ze Tian lowered his eyes and said lightly.
"Ling'er, I'm sorry!"
"Okay, I understand."
Lian Ling rarely cried or made a fuss, but nodded calmly.
Ze Tian was a little stunned. In his eyes, Lian Ling had always been a delicate and weak little girl who needed to be coaxed.
He was prepared for Lian Ling to cry and make a fuss, and to hysterically condemn him.
But at this moment, Lian Ling was frighteningly calm, and Ze Tian looked at Lian Ling with some trepidation.
"Ling'er, are you okay?"
"Nothing, I've been away from home for a long time, and now it's time to go back, bye!"
Lian Ling no longer called Zetian brother. She seemed to have grown up in an instant. She raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, then her figure disappeared from Zetian's sight in a flash.
Zetian suddenly felt a little empty in his heart. There were no more pleasant chattering sounds around him, nor that pretty figure.
He returned to the City Lord's Mansion with an indifferent expression and sat in front of Murong Li without saying a word.
Murong Li looked behind him and couldn't help but ask.
"Where's Xiao Ling'er?"
Normally, Lian Ling always follows Zetian like a little tail, but today she was not seen. Murong Li was surprised and looked at Zetian in confusion.
"She's gone."
Zetian rubbed his brows, suppressing an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Gone? Where did you go?"
"She went home."
"What?"
Murong Li screamed, jumped up from the couch, and stared at Ze Tian in disbelief.
"How could she bear to leave you? Did you bully her? There are demons everywhere outside the city, and you just let a little girl go by herself?"
Ze Tian then realized that what he had done was not appropriate. Even if he didn't love her anymore, he should have protected her and brought her home safely.
He was startled and stood up suddenly, then sat down dejectedly.
He didn't even know where Ling'er came from or where she was going.
