Moreover, it's addictive.
Only he can kiss?
Does he know what this means?
Xie Lingqin raised her sleeve and touched her lips. She kept rubbing them until they were numb, but she still felt that her lips were full of the Crown Prince's unique, refreshing, light pear blossom fragrance.
Xie Lingqin was walking in what was probably a wide, long alley.
Before Tianxia Yiwei opened, just in case, she asked Minglan and the others to move their location. Now, they are all in an old house that she rented using Nie Zuier's face.
But why is it so quiet?
Xie Lingqin felt uneasy and quickly climbed over the wall to go inside and check.
But before she could see everything in the courtyard clearly, she felt a tightness around her waist. Then, before Xie Lingqin could even turn around, she was spinning around. When she finally landed on the ground again, the cool night breeze cleared her head.
Xie Lingqin glanced around; it was the cliff where she had gathered herbs before.
Beside him stood a prince, his back to him, his figure ethereal and otherworldly.
"Your Highness, I really don't have time to play with you, I have urgent business to attend to." Xie Lingqin's expression was somewhat anxious.
“I will teach you martial arts,” Yuwen Yao said.
Xie Lingqin was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment, she shook her head, "Actually, no need. How could I trouble the Crown Prince? I have other matters to attend to."
“During the day, the Lord of the Underworld in that courtyard…” Yuwen Yao suddenly uttered in a low voice.
Xie Lingqin paused, immediately looking at the Crown Prince, her heart churning. She was worried about Ming Lan, but this was such a good opportunity to hear about the Underworld...
After a moment of contemplation, Xie Lingqin looked up, her eyes filled with anticipation, "Your Highness, please continue."
"Let's not leave."
"...Let's not go yet."
"Come closer."
Xie Lingqin measured the distance between the two of them; they were only half a step apart.
However, in order to hear what she wanted to hear, Xie Lingqin consciously moved closer.
Yuwen Yao looked at the girl's close body, her slightly lowered eyebrows and eyes, and the slender, jade-like neck revealed in the moonlight, as well as her soft and lustrous hair... He suddenly raised his hand and gently touched the top of Xie Lingqin's head.
Xie Lingqin looked up sensitively, as if to step back, but was suddenly pulled back by Yuwen Yao.
"Your Highness, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't get physical." Xie Lingqin scratched her head, still feeling annoyed by the feeling.
Yuwen Yao showed no anger; instead, a gentle smile appeared on his face. "Alright." Then, seeing Xie Lingqin's shocked expression, he looked at her and slowly said, "The middle-aged man you saw is indeed the Lord of the Yama Palace, but he is just a puppet."
That's a contradiction.
Xie Lingqin looked puzzled, but then heard Yuwen Yao say in a soft voice, "The Yama Palace is a complex and interconnected place. The Palace Master is not the one who holds the reins of the Yama Palace. The real power of control lies with the three elders of the Yama Palace. Therefore, even if a Palace Master dies, they can easily elect another one without any problems." Yuwen Yao said, and then reached out to pat Xie Lingqin's head.
Hmm, her hairline is so soft, it's completely out of place with her cool and aloof face and stubborn personality.
Xie Lingqin's anger surged. If she didn't want to hear the Crown Prince continue, she swore she would immediately remove the hand that was touching her hair and feed it to the dogs.
"Yes, Your Highness, please continue." Xie Lingqin smiled gently on the surface, but inwardly she was cursing.
Hearing Xie Lingqin's gentle tone, the Crown Prince's lips curved into a wider smile under the dim starlight, his dark eyebrows making even the distant green mountains pale in comparison.
"The Yama Palace is a complex and intertwined place. Outsiders only know it as a dark and gloomy underworld, but they do not know that the Yama Palace has a history of thousands of years. If its roots were fully laid out, it could be compared to a country."
Yes, it can be compared to a country.
What does this mean?
Xie Lingqin suddenly raised her head, her face clearly showing disbelief.
"Then, what about the Heavenly Mystery Hall?" Xie Lingqin asked again after a moment.
"The Heavenly Mystery Hall..." The Crown Prince's eyes seemed to darken for a moment, then a mysterious glint appeared in them. "Knowing too much is not a good thing."
Xie Lingqin looked at the Crown Prince and wisely kept quiet. She had learned enough today, so she could leave now.
"Alright, let's begin," the Crown Prince said.
"What start?" Xie Lingqin asked, slightly taken aback.
Yuwen Yao put his hands behind his back, his wide sleeves fluttering lightly, and his voice was soft in the mountain breeze, "You don't want to learn martial arts, but I once said that instead of spending time and effort cultivating internal energy, you should make the most of your own strengths."
“But I have no intention of having you teach me, Your Highness, nor now.”
"You won't let me teach you?"
"I think the Crown Prince is very busy, so it's fine to find someone to teach me." Xie Lingqin lowered her brows; this was her true feeling.
Yuwen Yao frowned, and after a moment, asked, "Then, what about Yu Qingyi?"
“If he’s free, then yes, he can.” Xie Lingqin raised her head.
Although Yu Qingyi is a bit of a goofball, she is quite skilled in martial arts and has traveled alone for many years, gaining considerable experience. Perhaps she can play an unexpected role.
Xie Lingqin thought about it and realized it was indeed feasible.
"Crown Prince..."
"Xie Lingqin, do you really think I'm invisible?" Suddenly, anger surged to the top of her head.
Xie Lingqin's eyelashes trembled, and she blurted out subconsciously, "I regard the Crown Prince as the heavens."
Yuwen Yao's expression clearly showed shock.
Upon seeing this, Xie Lingqin immediately cupped her hands and said, "Your Highness, I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
"Wait a moment." The Crown Prince took Xie Lingqin's hand.
Xie Lingqin was too lazy to struggle, and looked at the Crown Prince with good feelings, "Crown Prince, please speak."
