899 The Days in the Divine Hall of Light Part Ⅱ (1/2)

Ning Que said he had a very hot body in a humorous way, which sounded like a poor poem written by a young and inexperienced poet.

Sangsang didn't feel joy and said in a cold voice, ”No need.”

Taking the answer as she was just being polite or pretended to be polite, Ning Que moved a little to the bed immodestly, with his hand falling on the bedding.

Sangsang stared at him and her bright eyes had no emotions, not even hatred.

Ning Que turned pale instantly and began to cough.

Once the coughing began, it was difficult to stop. He coughed violently and curled up painfully, and his blood dripped to the ground, like scarlet plum blossom.

His chest was so painful that it felt like he was being pierced by a burning knife. He was worried that he would bleed to death or cough out his heart and liver.

Sangsang revealed no emotions on her face.

Rubbing his painful chest and picking up his bedding, Ning Que left the bed and walked to a dark corner. He laid the bedding at the dark corner, lay down, and sighed.

The sigh sounded a little aggrieved.

Back in the days when they were in Min Mountain, they always shared one bed. Although their house in the City of Wei had two beds, they would always end up sleeping in the same one.

It was even more so when they went to Chang'an that it did not matter whether they stayed at the Old Brush Pen Shop or the mansion beside Yanming Lake. Now that their statuses were reversed, he unexpectedly lost the right to sleep in bed.

Two handmaidens in white put the bed curtain down with pear wood rod in their hands. Seeing this and hearing Ning Que's aggrieved sighs, the handmaiden who talked with him in the kitchen before couldn't help but laugh noiselessly.

Back in the old days, Ning Que would definitely flirt with the handmaiden, but now he did not want to because he worried that the flirting might displease Sangsang. Her displeasure could easily make this handmaiden disappear.

He knew she could do such things because she was Haotian. She could even kill him. If she was willing to kill him, then she was willing to kill anyone.

Ning Que was a cold-blooded man, but he didn't want to cause any more meaningless deaths. He wanted to bring nothing but warmth to this cold Divine Hall of Light.

These two handmaidens went to the side chamber to rest. The Divine Hall of Light under the night sky became extraordinarily quiet, and the temperature inside remained high even though the wind and snow kept drifting into the Divine Hall from the terrace.

Under such circumstances, Ning Que had trouble sleeping. Looking at the increasingly big wind and snow, he thought that the snow had lasted several days. He frowned slightly.

West Hill Divine Kingdom was known as the land that Haotian favored. It had four distinct seasons and pleasant weather, which was much better than the climate at Chang'an. However, this winter was colder than the ones from previous years in West Hill. The snow came early and never stopped.

Ning Que had never lived in West Hill before, but he sensed that the situation was rare. The Headmaster kept Sangsang in the human world. Could Ever Night fall again?

He slowly sat up and walked to the side of the bed, staring at Sangsang.

With her eyes closed, Sangsang's eyelashes flickered slightly. The length of her eyelashes and the distance between them were so precise that it looked like they were painted and it revealed a feeling of unreality.

Ning Que looked at her quietly for a long time.

He looked at her eyes, brows, eyelashes, rosy lips, ears and hair, and he felt her indifference and wisdom.

He didn't know whether she was asleep and whether Haotian needed to sleep. However, he did know the changes around wouldn't be able to escape from her perception even though she was asleep.

She didn't wake up and closed her eyes quietly as if she was having the sweetest dream. Her appearance was so plain, but she looked like the most noble princess.

For Ning Que, Sangsang's face was very strange now. However, by quietly looking at her more, he got more familiar with her appearance and felt as if she looked like this all along.

He didn't understand why.

Was it because she was Haotian or because she was his wife?

The night sky under the West Hill Divine Kingdom was covered by snow clouds that completely blocked the moon. The Divine Hall of Light was dark and quiet that the sound of falling snow echoed.

His voice was as clean and soft as snow.

”If you want my compensation just because you want to cut off your connection with me, then what about your compensation for me? Should you return the things you took from me?”

Sangsang opened her eyes which were very clear and not drowsy at all. It turned out she never fell asleep.

She looked at Ning Que and asked emotionlessly, ”Like what?”

Ning Que thought for a while and didn't say anything because in his heart, he did everything willingly for Sangsang. As a proud human being, how could he be as dull as Haotian?
