Yu BingYan's face immediately paled, and she exclaimed out loud, before covering her lips with her hands . In her eyes was extreme shock, and her head nodded violently as she replied, ”Tian'ge, relax, I'll take my medication on time and will not let you risk even a bit of danger because of me!”
As she spoke, Yu BingYan's face turned a slight crimson, and she lowered her head, murmuring in a tiny voice, ”All of me belongs to you, and I naturally want to… grow old with Tian'ge, without leaving your side . ” Coming to the last few words, the thin-skinned little princess already turned a deep shade of red, burying her head into Ling Tian's chest .
Ling Tian chuckled upon seeing her reaction . He could acutely feel the quaking of the lady currently nestled in his chest, and he crooned to her, ”Yan'er, did you ever think, in another thirty to fifty years, when we are old and unable to move, we will sit on a chair outside the courtyard, and count each other's black hair? We'll smile as we watch our sons and grandsons frolicking in front of us, and that is the epitome of a couple growing old together . ”
Yu BingYan only shyly hmmed in response, and with fascination, secretly raised her head again to look at Ling Tian's face, while thinking to herself, It would be nice if I can stay by Tian'ge's side for his whole life, till our heads are full of white hairs… . How blissful would that be? Even if you give me the chance to be an immortal, I would not exchange it for this!
While Yu BingYan continued to bask in bliss, her finger softly tracing circles on Ling Tian's chest, they somehow reached a tranquil state, where both parties were immeasurably satisfied and happy . . .
Ling Tian smiled and nodded his head . Towards this la.s.s who was wholeheartedly in love with him, he only displayed his most tender affection for her from the depths of his heart . Thus, towards Yu BingYan's thoughts, how could he not know? If he did not explain to her that the process was not dangerous, most likely, even if she was forced to consume the Great Cyclic Pellet, she would still be worried about the potential gains and losses . Right now, Ling Tian aimed to induce her care and love towards him, linking her resolving of her illness to Ling Tian himself, after which he would paint a beautiful future scenery such that it could induce her will to go on living . He believed that with this, the plan to get her to consume the pellets would go without a hitch, and he could relax his mind towards her .
Three months later, when Yu BingYan's body was nurtured to the best condition, Ling Tian would then take the chance to sweep out all the toxins in one fell swoop! With the addition of Li Xue, he naturally had a greater measure of success! Originally, Ling Tian was thinking of resolving the problem of Yu BingYan's Divine Black Negative Meridians today, but upon scanning through her meridians and realizing that he had underestimated it, he increased the dosage of her Great Cyclic Pellet consumption .
But in this case, when they expelled the frost poison from her body, they would need to ensure that the medical efficacies were fully dissipated within her meridians, or else the strength of the pill would be equally scary! Without the mutual curbing of the meridians, and with her shallow cultivation, she would definitely not be able to withstand the strength of the Great Cyclic Pellet!
Three months! Ling Tian breathed out . The winter would also just set in three months later, and the weather still would not be that cold . However, he should do a little something within this three months to occupy his time .
Thinking about it, he never realized how fast time flew . By the time he wanted to stand up again, he found out that Yu BingYan had unknowingly fallen asleep on his bosom, a hint of a smile on the corners of her mouth . Her sleep was undoubtedly sound, and looking at her delicate face, Ling Tian instinctively felt a need to protect her . He was clear that for Yu BingYan to be able to fall asleep so soundly in the day, it showed just how worried she was in the last few months he was away . Yu BingYan's anxious state of mind had also finally loosened up after seeing Ling Tian safe and sound, thus she immediately fell asleep after . . .
Ling Tian felt moved, as well as a sense of grat.i.tude . He merely silently stayed in place, lightly supporting her body . Their surroundings were still silent, without even the hint of noise . . .

Time seemed to fly by soundlessly the last few days . In these few days, Yu BingYan had been tirelessly practicing her cultivation after consuming the pellets, Li Xue broadened her knowledge on the various forces and operations of the Courtyard, Xiao YanXue almost went crazy trying to manage the messy accounts of the finances, and Ling Chen overlooked the entire situation, her feet seemingly not touching the ground as she ran from place to place . Only our Young n.o.ble Ling led his days in a relaxed manner, having arranged all the matters to his subordinates such that he did not need to personally act . Lazing around, cultivating, reading his books, flirting with Ling Chen at night… naturally, he did more than that . But his days were spent in carefree bliss .
Till one day . . .
In the intelligence web of the Ling Family Courtyard covering the four directions, Ling Nine who was responsible for the intelligence of the East ran like a whirlwind into the courtyard . There was a look of panic on his face and he was completely soaked in sweat .
In a few moments, Ling Chen walked out with a grave expression, and went straight to Ling Tian's study, ”Young n.o.ble, I'm afraid the east is in trouble . ”
”Oh? Trouble in the east?” Ling Tian raised his head, ”Did Ling Nine pa.s.s you the news?”
”That's right, in the morning three days ago, Ling Nine failed to receive any news from Li City . Even up till today, there has not been any news coming from them . In contrast, the surrounding few cities have sent around three to four news dispatches the last few days . ” Ling Chen's tone took on a grave note, as this was the first time it happened since the intelligence network was set up . For this to coincidentally happen right before the war, it was even more suspicious .
Ling Tian gently knocked on his table, asking, ”Li City? Isn't that the one running horizontally across Xiao FengYang's route of advance with his army?”
”That's right . Li City is the protective screen on the extreme east of Sky Bearing City . If it falls, then Meng Region, Zhou Prefecture, and Qu County will all be annihilated under the army of Xiao FengYang . After breaking through these cities, the distance between them and Sky Bearing would be less than 75 kilometers . Furthermore, the distance is made up of a wide and flat expanse of land, and there aren't many places we can actually defend . ” Ling Chen spoke with some anxiety .
”It seems like the Xiao Family cannot resist making a move on us in the end . ” Ling Tian laughed, and a chilling ray of light shot out from his eyes . ”I actually intended to drag things out at Southern Zheng, allowing DongFang JingLei to acc.u.mulate a decent amount of strength before pincering Xiao FengYang . But to think that the old fox actually took the initiative to attack first, and furthermore, attacking a far off remote city such as Li City? That's so not his style . ”
After pondering for a while, Ling Chen nodded as well, ”Young n.o.ble, do you want to send some people over to take a look?”
