”Huuh?” Ling Tian stared at her with an expression of bewilderment, as he pursed his lips together and frowned, ”Why does the tea today smell and taste exceptionally fragrant? There's even a hint of cosmetics in it… hehe… like kissing someone . ” As he spoke, he stared at Xiao YanXue with an evil look, slowly stretching out his tongue and licking his lips .

”Ling Tian! You lecherous b.a.s.t.a.r.d…” Xiao YanXue did not expect Ling Tian's skin to be thick to this frightening degree, and she blushed all over, a face hot like an iron as she yelled and stomped her foot . However, a series of coughs sounded from below, with a croaking voice scolding out loud, ”Oei, those above, stop stomping your feet… cough cough cough, who taught you that those living on the second floor can stomp your feet whenever you please? Cough cough… this old man's body has already followed the sunset to close its eyes and block the nostrils, so could you kindly let me rest in peace?”

Since the house's structure was mainly comprised of wood, with the stomping of Xiao YanXue's feet, one could imagine how much noise it made below… . . .

But, this wasn't really her fault as well, was it?

The couple in question jumped in shock, looking at each other before unable to endure and started laughing . Xiao YanXue buried herself in Ling Tian's embrace, chuckling non-stop . It was only after a long while did she finally stop, releasing herself and straightening Ling Tian's clothes . She questioned, ”Did you not make a move? Why do I not smell any blood on you? The DongFang Family is after all a great aristocratic family, and should have more precautions!” Still, she felt more rea.s.sured even as she spoke .

Xiao YanXue evidently knew what Ling Tian was up to, and was also aware how much of a character this DongFang family head was . Only heavens knew how long a wait she had to suffer back here in the inn, with the most frightening thought in her head being Ling Tian returning with a body full of injuries . Just the thought was enough to make her heart palpitate in fear .

Seeing that Ling Tian had come back safely, without a single trace of blood on his body, she automatically a.s.sumed that Ling Tian did not make a move, and secretly began to calculate inside her heart how best to dissuade Ling Tian from this operation . After all, getting seriously injured for someone like DongFang JingLei was not worth it!

”Yep!! How could I even possibly fail? The deed is done . ” Having felt Xiao YanXue's worry, Ling Tian was extremely touched in his heart . He gently ruffled his hair and replied, ”Relax, for such a minor character, they wouldn't even be qualified to leave blood on my body . ”

”Ah? Already… killed?” Xiao YanXue incredulously raised her head to look at Ling Tian . Just listening to her tone, it sounded as though she thought Ling Tian went to kill some chicken or dog .

Surprised by her tone, Ling Tian twitched, and could not help but poke her nose as he replied, ”Yep, it was as simple as killing a chicken!”

”Hateful!” Xiao YanXue pouted as she complained, and unconsciously stomped her foot again . At the same time, another cough sounded from below, before that hoa.r.s.e voice scolded, ”This old man is seriously down on my luck… next time I stay in an inn, I'm never taking the bottom floor…”

The duo looked at each other once again, immediately starting to sn.i.g.g.e.r at the same time .

”Let's rest early . Time to sleep . ” Ling Tian intimately rubbed her nose once again, before walking towards the bed . He stretched lazily as he continued, ”We'll need to leave early tomorrow . I estimate that this Eastern Sun City will turn into a muddled mess by tomorrow . ” As he spoke, he had already stripped off his dark traveling clothes, only leaving the white inner robes he wore below .

”You… . ” Xiao YanXue immediately turned red . She suddenly twisted, running to the bed as she stared at Ling Tian, ”Why don't you go to your own room to sleep? I remember we booked two rooms…”

Ignoring her, Ling Tian toppled on the bed the moment he came over, sleepily murmuring, ”This place is more comfortable, there's even a fragrance . ”

”You… . wake up! You're crus.h.i.+ng me…” Xiao YanXue was torn between embarra.s.sment and anxiety, struggling non-stop . When Ling Tian fell onto the bed, he conveniently pushed her down as well, leading to a very ambiguous top-down position .

”Woo… . so soft . ” It was as though Ling Tian was half purposefully, half accidentally doing it, but he s.h.i.+fted again, breathing in deeply, ”How fragrant . ” He completely ignored the protests coming from Xiao YanXue, treating her like the cotton-padded mattress below him . He slowly closed his eyes, and one could actually hear the sound of snoring sounding out .

Xiao YanXue stiffened her body, her heart jumping around like a frightened doe as she opened her eyes wide . All of a sudden, she did not know what to do .

The corners of Ling Tian's mouth curled out into a smirk as his body slightly s.h.i.+fted, moving to a position beside her . He pushed Xiao YanXue towards the interior of the bed, then carelessly placed a hand on her waist, hugging her and locking her in place .

Xiao YanXue felt an indescribable s.h.i.+ver pa.s.s down her, feeling irritated but at the same time a little expectant . She did not know what to think, and when she realized Ling Tian had already begun to breathe slowly and deeply, she could not help but curse inwardly . Propping herself up, she stared at his handsome face, filling a rush of warmth within her heart . However, as she was about to slowly slip off the bed, she felt her body sink down . Ling Tian had suddenly placed his leg over her body, causing her to be trapped where she was . . .

Trying her best to hide the embarra.s.sment and shame that rose unbidden to her face, and attempting but failing to push off the snoring Ling Tian, she failed to move him even a single bit . Finally, she could only give up and cast her eyes towards the outside as she lowly sighed . A sense of disappointment rose in her heart… such a starry night, how could it be pa.s.sed it this manner?! However, a sense of sleepiness and weariness finally engulfed her, and nestled within the warm embrace, she felt unbelievably safe . She slowly closed her eyelids, burying her face within Ling Tian's embrace as she fell into deep sleep .

At this point, Ling Tian stealthily opened his eyes, letting out a crooked smile . He was no gentleman, so how could he not have any designs when his woman, a heaven toppling beauty, was sleeping by his side? To that point, he was completely prepared to do battle with the warm jade sleeping in his arms! However, this young n.o.ble Ling knew that tonight was not the best time to do anything, with the waves from Eastern Zhao just beginning to rise . Ling Tian had no idea how this entire situation would turn out, and they might even have to forcibly break out from the city gates! If he chose to 'break' Xiao YanXue right now, then how much inconvenience would it bring to them!

Furthermore, given the ident.i.ty of Xiao YanXue, even if she did not say it in her mouth, and even showed no signs of resistance, she would definitely have some sort of fantasy in her heart, to fulfill her wishes within the setting of the bridal room and ornamented candles .

If one did not have the ability to guarantee to allow the woman he loved to wear the red marriage robes, then he should never try to form a relations.h.i.+p that went beyond the boundaries of friends.h.i.+p! Even though she might love you deeply! A mere night for a man was akin to a lifetime of waiting for a woman! Just how many women had already suffered from a lifetime of misery of not getting their lifetime happiness because of a loss of that thin membrane? This was the bottom line of Ling Tian in his past life, and he had carried this over to his new life .

While he might have affirmed that Xiao YanXue was his woman, Ling Tian did not wish to leave any regrets to the women who chose to follow him! Not even the slightest bit!

A beautiful woman should be slowly appreciated like fine wine . There are many things in the world that can only be fully appreciated with the test of time . As such, Ling Tian truly did not wish for Xiao YanXue's first time to be inside foreign soil, in a foreign inn, where war was about to break out!

Wait until we're within the red candles, inside the bridal room . La.s.s, see how I'll torment you by then!

On this night, not only did Ling Tian sleep extraordinarily soundly, but Xiao YanXue also felt the safest she had ever been in a long while . However, the entirety of Eastern Sun City had been turned upside down! It was particularly noisy!

The news of the head of the DongFang family, DongFang JingTian being mysteriously a.s.sa.s.sinated had been transmitted to the imperial court at first notice, and the moment the Emperor DongFang MingRi who was about to bed his concubine heard this news, his little one immediately withered, causing him to lose all interest . If Ling Tian was made aware of this, he would definitely start to pray for the emperor . For a man to be cut off when he was at the height of arousal, there would definitely be repercussions, and he did not know if the Eastern Zhao emperor could ever regain his prestige from now onward . . .

Following that was the rush of anger and intense fear radiating in the imperial court! For someone to have so easily a.s.sa.s.sinated a top-tier expert of his generation, wouldn't that mean it would be an easy task for them to kill himself? Furthermore, after losing the intimidation that was DongFang JingTian, the DongFang family would definitely now be in chaos . This sort of matter just had to happen when all sides were about to break into war!

One imperial edict after another was pa.s.sed down like water flowing down a river, and all the city and imperial guards received the orders, immediately mobilizing in the middle of the night to set out to capture the perpetrator .

As for the emperor DongFang MingRi, he ignored the pleas and advice of his officials and guards, immediately changing his clothes and rushed to the DongFang Family without even caring for the danger . He was acutely aware that, if the DongFang Family were really to be thrown into chaos at this timing, then the days where he lived as the emperor were probably not going to be for long either… as such, the DongFang Family definitely could not fall into chaos!

As such, just like how the Northern Wei Bright Jade City had arranged a city-wide search and capture operation, Eastern Zhao did not plan to lose out, and started a capture operation on a scale not one whit smaller than that of Bright Jade City .

If Ling Tian were to be able to see this, he would indeed feel extremely honored . Because the target of both search and captures was him…

In the wee hours of the morning, Eastern Sun City was already wrapped up in a torrential storm, with guards capturing people with obvious zeal . On the main street, the little hawkers were being chased off like shooing chickens and dogs, and such was the chaos, it looked as though the apocalypse had arrived . One area would just begin to settle down before another series of frenzied footsteps would sound in another area . Successive scenes of this were repeated, causing the entire place to buzz with activity .

At this point, a couple in white walked out to the main street . Not only were both of them elegant and graceful, their looks and bearing as though they stepped out from a painting, but they even carried swords on their waists, looking like children of n.o.bility . However, even as they walked, no one dared to step forward to question them . Why was this so?

Not only was it because of the bearings of the couple, which appeared to be extraordinary, but also because of the air of n.o.bility they carried about them, signifying their prestige as people of the upper cla.s.s who should not be touched . Behind them, there were even seven to eight people closely following them, and when the guards a.s.signed to interrogate people saw the entourage behind those two, their eyes bulged and they did not dare to make a sound .

Behind those two were a few youths, walking with clasped hands in front of them like servants, but one of them just happened to be the recently famed great n.o.ble Wu! This great n.o.ble Wu happened to rise abruptly to fame within Eastern Sun City, having the wind and rains align to his beck and call within two years! He himself had actually raked in a third of the wealth available around Eastern Sun City! At the point, this great n.o.ble Wu had already occupied close to half of the total a.s.sets in the city, truly the embodiment of wealth that can topple countries! As for spending thousands of gold on one meal, it was a normal occurrence to this great n.o.ble Wu, not worth mentioning at all .
