Therefore, I have some longing for romance, but not much!
Dating is either about money or your life!
Fortunately, she is both wealthy and in excellent health, so she has no desire to pursue that path!
Moreover, Wu Ling has been out for so long that he hasn't seen any normal women his age. He's either on his way to fill his stomach or on his way to kill!
The number of women he's interacted with is far too small. Given the current war, he might develop some feelings for her, but as time passes, those feelings will likely fade. When he looks back on his actions, he might even find them laughable. This is the legendary suspension bridge effect!
That's why whenever a hero saves a damsel in distress or a damsel in distress saves a hero, the person being saved develops admiration for the rescuer! It's just a hormone that's released in the brain, and once that hormone wears off after a while, the two people won't have any feelings for each other anymore!
Rather than waiting until the two of them grow to hate each other, it's better not to start now, since Wu Ling is indeed her most capable assistant!
If she were to suddenly lose such a capable assistant, she might find it hard to adjust!
Thinking of this, she just smiled.
"Don't worry, if that day ever comes, I will definitely support your decision."
"But you still have to obediently follow me and work. Let's go! Let's go back and see my mother and brothers."
Wu Ling has been out for so long now, he's no longer the greenhorn who was just starting out and didn't know anything about human relationships!
Having gone through so much life and death with His Majesty, he could naturally tell that she didn't have any romantic feelings for him; on the contrary, she seemed slightly resistant!
He lowered his head, somewhat dejected.
He wanted to loudly proclaim to His Majesty that he would never love any other woman but her, neither now nor in the future!
But he just couldn't bring himself to say it. After all, His Majesty was such a god-like figure that it was already quite an achievement to talk to him for even a few words. How could he have such a despicable thought!
No wonder His Majesty refused!
But he still muttered under his breath, "If you don't like me, you can send me far away after the war is over, instead of stuffing women into my life like this!"
Lin Ru looked at the handsome man in front of her, who was a head taller than her, now bowing his head like a child who had made a mistake, muttering and pleading softly. Her heart couldn't help but tremble.
Who can accept this unexpected cuteness?
A 1.9-meter-tall muscular man who is usually quiet and kills people like cutting watermelons, and is also very handsome with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, is now looking down with a pitiful expression!
She was instantly speechless, unable to utter any other words of refusal!
I could only pretend I didn't hear it and keep moving forward!
Along the way, Wu Ling was afraid that he would overdo things and annoy his emperor, so he would stay quietly in a corner unless necessary and would never go in front of Lin Ru!
For example, everyone is gathered around Lin Ru now, preparing to rest for a while, eat something, and then continue on their way. Wu Ling casually picked up a piece of bread, then took his weapon and walked to the big tree next to him, quietly eating the bread in his hand!
Wu Juan glanced at her young clan leader, then at her emperor!
Then, he quietly nudged Wu Fei, who was only focused on eating, with his elbow!
"Hey! What's wrong with those two? They shouldn't have had a fight, given the young clan leader's temperament, he would never argue with His Majesty! He's always like a peacock, flitting around His Majesty all the time, but lately he's been all alone. Look at him leaning against that tree, looking like a deadbeat. Is he trying to play the melancholy little prince? Trying to attract His Majesty's attention in some new way?!"
"I'm not exaggerating! With the young clan leader's looks, if he just found the right opportunity and offered himself up, I don't think His Majesty would be so heartless as to refuse him!"
"After all, the young clan leader is really handsome!"
"Besides, having followed His Majesty for so long, I should at least be able to become a Noble Consort!"
"It's such a pity. If the young clan leader had even a little bit of brains, I think he could have made Quan Jinyu the empress!"
"Do you think what I said is right or wrong?"
"And I think the young clan leader..."
Before she could finish speaking, a pancake was stuffed into her mouth!
"Shut your mouth and eat something. We still have to leave after we finish eating!"
"I didn't bring much food this time, just this much. If you don't eat it, I'll eat it all, and then you can't complain to His Majesty!"
"Besides, His Majesty and the young clan leader's affairs are none of our concern!"
"Once everything stabilizes, someone will naturally choose a consort for His Majesty!"
Wu Juan glanced at the pancakes in the bundle and saw that only half remained. If she didn't eat them soon, Wu Fei would probably devour them all. So she swallowed the rest of her words and, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, firmly protected the remaining dozen or so pancakes!
"No! Wu Fei! That's going too far. I only said a few words, and you ate all those pancakes."
"How come you can eat even more than before?"
"If you didn't eat so much, His Majesty wouldn't have used three carriages to carry our food!"
Wu Fei glared at her, annoyed, but when he saw that she was completely focused on the food, he felt relieved.
This little brat, if it weren't for him, she probably wouldn't even know how she died tonight. Didn't she see her young clan leader's increasingly dark face? Even if she didn't see the young clan leader's expression, she should be more careful; she's sitting next to His Majesty!
Moreover, everyone around her was a martial artist, so no matter how softly she spoke, those around her who didn't want to listen would still hear her!
Lin Ru was truly speechless. Wu Juan was good in every way, except that she loved to gossip from time to time. She was very interested in gossiping about other people, but when it came to her own gossip, she always felt that something was wrong!
And what's this about selecting concubines?
Do these people secretly consider Quan Jinyu to be the Empress?! And Wu Ling is a Consort?!
What on earth is going on? She began to wonder what kind of story she had transmigrated into. Could it be a female-dominated story?
However, Wu Ling's obviously changed attitude made her somewhat uncomfortable!
But it's just discomfort; after all, there are more important things to deal with right now!
And so, they walked and stopped for about three days!
Lin Ru and the others finally made it back to Shanping County!
