C218 (1/2)

It was early in the morning. Wu De lingered outside of the Fiery-Scaled and Ji Tianning's rooms for quite a while before he finally didn't dare to disturb the Fiery-Scaled Beast.

He called over the guard who had been on guard the night before and asked a few questions in a low voice, his face revealing a dark smile. He instructed no one to alarm the emperor and the Empress, then retreated.

”Your Majesty, I hope the Empress and the Empress can reconcile this time and eliminate any unhappiness they had in the past.”

Ji Tian Ning could feel that the two of them were in someone's embrace. However, there was not a single strand of clothes on her body. It was the same on that person. The two of them made contact.

A familiar smell entered her nostrils and she finally woke up. She only felt endless exhaustion and tiredness.

”Have you finally woken up from your dream? So last night was not Hateful Heavens, so how could it be him? He has already left me forever! ”

What entered his eyes was a handsome and thin face. It no longer had the coldness and ruthlessness from before, and instead had an extra bit of humanity to it. Thinking back to last night when he was in a daze, he couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart. Why did the perverted Emperor take advantage of this?

”If that's the case, how can I face Li Tian?”

He slightly moved his body, wanting to leave the Fiery-Scaled Beast's embrace. Last night, his mind had been muddled, and now that he had recovered, he did not want to be attracted to the warmth in his embrace anymore. He would rather face the endless cold wind.

Her slim waist tightened and that strength suffocated her. The Emperor's grace was still so overbearing and arrogant, not allowing anyone to reject it.

Using her expressionless face to face the reverse scale of fire was only a mistake last night. Since she had awakened from her dream, she would not give him another chance.

”I can feel your happiness last night. How is it? It's still early, do you want to do it again? ”

Looking at the charming smile on the reverse scale of the fire, his eyes were filled with helplessness. He curled up his body and looked around, feeling extremely insecure.

”What's the matter with you?”

Sensing that there was something wrong with Ji Tian Ning, the reverse fire scale propped up Ji Tian Ning's chin and pointed her face at him.

When he looked into her eyes, he was terrified and helpless. His face looked lost, and he even started to cower. This was not the kitten he was familiar with. According to his calculations, this morning when the kitten woke up, it would stretch out its claws and bared its fangs and brandished its claws at him.

However, the current Ji Tian Ning seemed to have lost her usual agility. Like a frightened little white rabbit, she curled up her body and looked at him with a strange gaze.

”Ji Tian Ning, what happened to you?”

Ji Tian Ning covered her face with her hands and buried her face in the pillow.

Huo Ni Lin anxiously lifted Ji Tian Ning's face up, making her gaze meet his, as if he wanted to discover something from her eyes.

A helpless and dazed gaze, filled with hesitation, landed on his face, and his body trembled even more violently as he retreated with all his might.

”Ji Tian Ning, don't you know me?”

Ji Tian Ning shook her head without saying a word. She grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around herself before retreating to the foot of the bed.

She tightly held onto Ji Tian Ning as she sized her up. Her pitch-black eyes lost her craftiness and flexibility as she looked at him with a gaze filled with panic. These were not the eyes he was familiar with. Although the one in front of him was still that cute little cat, it was as if it had transformed into a different person.

”Do you know who This Emperor is?”

Shaking her head, she just shook it without saying a word, tightly closing her chapped mouth like a lost fawn.

”Did she forget about Zhen after she got sick?”

Huo Ni Lin narrowed his eyes. His sharp gaze wanted to pierce through her heart and see if she was pretending or if she was really sick. However, he couldn't understand why the current Ji Tian Ning was curled up, her head lowered and her fingers playing with her blanket. It was as if she had forgotten that he was right in front of her.

His handsome face moved closer to Ji Tian Ning, supporting his chin, ”No matter how you look or how you've lost all your memories, you are still my woman, and only belong to me.” This will never change! ”

His large eyes stared blankly at him, and the reverse scale suddenly felt sad. How free and full of spirit was she? Could she have become a fool?

He did not believe it and could not believe it. He fiercely grabbed Ji Tian Ning's chin and said, ”Don't lie to me, I will not be tricked by you. You will not last long and soon reveal your true colors to me. ”Remember, using any means is useless because I will not let you go.”

Ji Tian Ning shifted his gaze from the reverse scale of fire and looked aimlessly in every direction. His unfocused gaze seemed dull and lifeless.

Huo Ni jumped up and put on his clothes. He looked at Ji Tian Ning's snow-white shoulders under the blanket before walking to the door and opening it. He then instructed the two maids to go in and serve Ji Tian Ning while she dressed.

”Men, call Le Tian over for me.”

He paced his room with concern. How could the little cat be what it was now? He would rather she had stretched out her sharp claws at him and bared her fangs at him than see her now.

”Your majesty, do you want to continue moving forward?”

Wu De didn't know why the reverse scale was so anxious as he carefully asked.

”Today, I will rest here for a day and march again tomorrow. Wude, do you think that after her illness, there will be any big changes?”

”Your servant is not an imperial physician. Your servant doesn't understand the matters of medical skills. Is the Empress inappropriate?”

”Reporting to your majesty, Le Tian is present at the imperial edict.”
