Murong Qiqi's words were filled with the principles of Buddhism. Mingyue Cheng stared at her for a long time, trying to see a glimmer of hope in her eyes so that he would have a reason to persevere. However, the clear lake water did not contain anything that Mingyue Cheng wanted.
"I understand." Mingyue Cheng sighed. His gaze towards Murong Qiqi was filled with longing and reluctance. Perhaps Murong Qiqi was right. It was not that he was late, but that there was no longer any fate between them.
However, he was unwilling to let go. But when he saw Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi's fingers entwined together, he understood that the two of them were using their actions to show him their stance. A forceful melon would not be sweet. A forceful relationship was not love. He understood this logic.
"Feng Qiqi, if he betrays you one day, the doors of my Southern Phoenix Nation will always be open for you. Furthermore, my empress position will always be yours! "
Mingyue Cheng drank another mouthful of wine and looked at Feng Cang. "Remember, if you betray her, even if it means going against her wishes, I will still take her back and take good care of her!"
"I won't let you have that chance."
"Heh, that's for the best!" Mingyue Cheng stood up and looked at Murong Qiqi again with a bright smile. "Qiqi, you must be happy!"
After saying that, Mingyue Cheng turned around and strode away from their line of sight without looking back.
That person surprised Feng Cang. He more or less knew about Mingyue Cheng's situation. This man was not someone who would stay in a small pond. To become the new emperor of Southern Phoenix Nation, he must have gone through a lot of hardships. Feng Cang found it unbelievable that he had 'easily' given up on Murong Qiqi. He thought that Mingyue Cheng would at least try to fight for her.
"He's not a bad man!" Feng Cang gave Mingyue Cheng a fair evaluation after a moment of silence.
"Yes! Otherwise, I wouldn't have helped him! "
Murong Qiqi did not have any feelings for Mingyue Cheng. She only felt that this man was worthy of respect. As for developing a relationship with him, she had never thought about it. Now that she had Feng Cang, there was no room for anyone else in her heart.
"Him acting like this is giving me unprecedented pressure. It seems that I must treat you well. Qingqing gave up her position as the Empress of Nanfeng Nation and chose to be with me … "
Feng Cang smiled and looked at Murong Qiqi with an even more affectionate gaze. "This man said that he was letting go, but he was actually waiting for me to relax and give him a chance to take advantage of me. This move of retreating in order to advance might work in military affairs, but it won't work on me. Because I will never give him such a chance! Let his rear position be empty forever! "
"You, are you certain that I'm dead set on you?"
"No, you're the one who's going to eat me —"
The two of them were so deeply in love that they didn't notice when the singing and dancing had ended. When they came back to their senses, there were two people standing in the middle of the hall. To be exact, one was standing while the other was sitting in a wheelchair.
Murong Qiqi recognized one of these two people. It was Jia Lan, whom she had met during the Four Nation Youth Competition. As for the other person, he had already introduced himself. "I am the eldest disciple of Penglai Island's 19th generation successor, Misha. He is my junior brother, Jia Lan."
It turned out that these two people were from Penglai Island! When the crowd heard that they were related to Penglai Island, they couldn't help but size up the two men.
Jia Lan was still dressed elegantly in blue, while Misha was dressed in coarse linen clothes. However, this coarse cloth did not diminish his color at all. Instead, it gave him the air of a wandering immortal.
Unlike Jia Lan's masculinity, Misha looked more like a shota. Fair and smooth skin, handsome and slender eyebrows, deep smiling eyes, and soft pink lips. He was a very cute and pretty boy.
Wanyan Lie was surprised that people from Penglai Island had come to Beizhou. "May I know why the two of you have come to our nation?"
"I'm here to look for someone!" Misha's voice was also very young. Coupled with that cute face, it was very likable. It gave off a feeling that it was suitable for all ages.
"Oh, who is Mister Misha looking for?"
"Murong Qinglian!"
Hearing this name, Wanyan Lie froze for a moment. The name felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had heard it. Seeing that Wanyan Lie had long forgotten about Murong Qinglian, Jing De hurriedly whispered a few words in his ear. Only then did Wanyan Lie remember that Murong Qinglian was the woman in the Eastern Palace whom he had punished. He wondered if she was still alive after being whipped a hundred times a day for so long.
"Murong Qinglian has committed a crime and I have locked her up in prison."
Hearing that Murong Qinglian was locked up in prison, Misha was visibly agitated. He gripped the handles of his wheelchair with both hands. If not for his leg, he would have stood up in excitement. "Your Majesty, what crime did Murong Qinglian commit? She once did me a favor, so can Your Majesty please be lenient and do me a favor? "
"This …"
Murong Qinglian was a small ant to Wanyan Lie. Now that the eldest disciple of Penglai Island said that there was a relationship between them, Wanyan Lie couldn't help but wonder if he should release Murong Qinglian and give Misha face.
"Your Majesty, I came all the way here to thank you for saving my life. If she has done anything wrong, I am willing to bear the consequences. I only ask that Your Majesty be magnanimous and release her. Misha will be eternally grateful. "
Misha clapped his hands. Immediately, two people came forward with two wooden boxes. When they opened them, they saw pearls the size of eggs. The two boxes contained a total of twenty pearls.
"I don't know if these two boxes of pearls can be exchanged for her life!"
The eagerness in Misha's words made people wonder about the relationship between him and Murong Qinglian. Coupled with his sincere tone and innocent face, people's stiff hearts couldn't help but soften a little.
"Your Majesty, if it's someone unimportant, why don't you just release her!" From the moment the boxes were opened, Lin Kexin was attracted by these beautiful pearls.
Such beautiful pearls, each plump and the size of eggs, how rare! Lin Kexin fell in love with the pearls Misha brought. This kind of pearl, whether it was made into jewelry or ground into pearl powder, was excellent. One bead was expensive, not to mention twenty beads!
