This was the first time in more than two years that Ning Qingxuan opened her eyes while hugging him.
Lin Zhen couldn't imagine Ning Qingxuan's current state of mind, but he knew that this usually reserved and steady Crown Princess must have mustered a great deal of courage.
Lin Zhen's first reaction was to loosen his grip. However, in a split second, he rejected this idea.
A real man dared to take responsibility for his actions. Why should he let go?
Not only did he not let go, but Lin Zhen also hugged the beauty in his arms even tighter. Their foreheads were lowered, and they were so close that they could clearly feel each other's breaths.
This was a bold move. Ning Qingxuan had already recovered her strength. Even though Lin Zhen now had four million points of star power, he was definitely not her match.
As the saying went, riches and honor were found in danger. This riches and honor did not only refer to wealth. Many beautiful things were not so easily obtained. However, Lin Zhen believed that his current actions were correct.
This was because he saw that Ning Qingxuan's eyes did not show any repulsion. Instead, she seemed to be very satisfied with Lin Zhen's reaction.
If Lin Zhen let go of her now, she would undoubtedly be very disappointed.
"Lin Zhen, you are a bold fellow."
"It's alright. At least I don't think the Crown Princess is a scary person."
"You still know that I am the Crown Princess? Then what are you doing now?"
Lin Zhen thought for a while. He did not give a clumsy excuse of warming her up. Instead, he said bluntly, "Hugging the woman I like."
Ning Qingxuan stared closely into Lin Zhen's eyes as if she wanted to firmly remember Lin Zhen's appearance in her heart.
After a while, she took the initiative to lean into Lin Zhen's arms for the first time. She stretched out a pair of snake-like arms and hugged Lin Zhen's neck.
Her arms were very beautiful and slightly cool. When she stretched out her arms, her sleeves slid down her creamy skin, reflecting the light.
"Lin Zhen, I used to lie here every day and look at the Star Crystals on these trees. I thought that this place was very beautiful, and I would think that maybe I would never leave and stay here forever. I wouldn't have to face the outside world, and I wouldn't have to face anyone else. Maybe one day, I would marry you …"
Hearing Ning Qingxuan's sudden and straightforward statement, Lin Zhen didn't know how to respond.
"But I know that there won't be such a day. I have my destiny. Ever since I can remember, my destiny has been like this. The Green Leaf Sect and the Southern Liang Royal Family have long been inseparable, and my marriage to Liang Ji-hwan is one of the most important links. There are too many interests involved here, and no one will allow anything to go wrong in this matter."
Lin Zhen looked at Ning Qingxuan. "You have the strength to fight back."
"No! I can't fight back. I was raised by the Green Leaf Sect. Unless I return my life to them, I don't have the right to fight back. This is the value of my existence. "
Lin Zhen didn't say anything, but in his heart, he was secretly thinking about how to deal with this matter.
At this time, Ning Qingxuan suddenly sat up and pulled out the wooden hairpin on her head. Her black hair fell down like a waterfall.
"Lin Zhen, do you think I'm beautiful?"
"Very beautiful!"
Ning Qingxuan suddenly bent down and pressed her hot red lips on Lin Zhen's lips.
Lin Zhen only felt a rush of blood to his head. He turned over and pressed the beauty under his body, and a hot kiss enveloped her.
Her lilac scent was secretly intoxicating.
A few minutes later, Ning Qingxuan's hands wrapped around Lin Zhen's neck. Her eyes were filled with determination. "Lin Zhen, I'm very happy to have you by my side these two years. Tonight, you can do whatever you want to me."
Lin Zhen's breathing became heavy. He couldn't refuse such a beautiful thing.
"But … after today, please forget about me completely. I will marry into the Southern Liang Royal Family and become the true Crown Princess."
As if a basin of cold water had been poured over him, Lin Zhen knew that Ning Qingxuan was telling the truth.
But how could Lin Zhen be willing to accept such an outcome? He bent down and gently kissed her lips. "If that's the case, I also have a request."
"Say it. I'll agree to it."
"I won't do anything to you today, but please keep it for me. Your first time belongs to me."
Lin Zhen could naturally tell that this peerless beauty was still a virgin, and she was a woman of her word. Right now, he couldn't directly face the Southern Liang Royal Family, so he made such a request.
Ning Qingxuan looked at Lin Zhen with a complicated expression. She knew what this request meant.
Marrying into the Royal Family was just changing a place to live. She wouldn't be able to truly accept the current Crown Prince.
It could be said that Lin Zhen's request was very excessive. Ning Qingxuan was already somewhat moved. In order not to leave any regrets, she wanted to give her most precious thing to Lin Zhen before leaving.
But she didn't expect that Lin Zhen wanted her heart.
If she agreed, then where would Liang Ji-hwan, who would become the Crown Prince in the future, and even the Emperor in the future?
Rationality attacked her mind again and again, making it difficult for her to make a choice.
Ning Qingxuan, who had tasted this for the first time, felt her limbs go weak. In the end, she nodded to Lin Zhen. "I promise you, but I'm afraid my future will …"
"No! You have to stay here and wait for the day I come to pick you up! "
*****
The night passed quickly. Lin Zhen fell asleep at some point.
He was awakened by a powerful aura.
When he woke up, Ning Qingxuan had already changed into a new set of clothes. She stood by the pool, and the water was still rippling gently.
Lin Zhen could tell that Ning Qingxuan had broken through.
"You're awake. I've prepared some food for you. Although it's not as good as yours, it's still made by me. Try it."
There was porridge and side dishes on the table. Although they weren't sumptuous, they were delicious.
Ning Qingxuan sat beside Lin Zhen. The two of them ate their last breakfast.
"Lin Zhen, I was thinking of teaching you everything I know so that you can be more competitive in the Star of God's Punishment. However, I'm also very useless. Because I forced myself to break through, I became a cripple for more than two years. I even need you to take care of me. I'm very worried. What will you do when you go to the Star of God's Punishment?"
"Haha! Am I that weak in your eyes? "
Lin Zhen wasn't worried. The Star of God's Punishment wouldn't end in a day. He was confident that he would get a good ranking in this battle.
After finishing the food in two or three bites, Ning Qingxuan walked around the space.
She stood under the tree for a long time. Lin Zhen could clearly feel her reluctance to leave.
She raised her finger and added the words "Lin Zhen's Sapling" beside the two words "Lin Zhen" on the tree trunk. Then, she added the three words "Ning Qingxuan".
Looking down from above, it became Lin Zhen and Ning Qingxuan's sapling.
"I will definitely miss this place. Let's go!"
After doing all this, Ning Qingxuan left behind her strong reluctance and went straight to the edge of the space.
Lin Zhen glanced at her. Then, he quietly waved his hand and put the tree and the hill into the Dark Star Space.
He took a big stride and arrived beside Ning Qingxuan. At this moment, the space started to tremble.
After losing the sapling, the space was finally on the verge of collapse.
Ning Qingxuan didn't know how this happened. She grabbed Lin Zhen and said, "Let's go!"
She raised her longsword and fiercely slashed it. The small space's barrier immediately cracked!
The two of them rushed into the boundless space turbulence outside at the same time.
When they arrived, Ning Qingxuan waved her longsword again. She directly broke through the surrounding energy storm and fiercely slammed into the space barrier!
A crack appeared in the stable space of the Primordial Realm. The two of them teleported almost at the same time and directly left the spatial crack!
Lin Zhen didn't use his Divine Thunder of Destruction. That thing needed a long time to recover. It was better to save it if he could.
They weren't in an area close to the ground. Instead, they were in the starry sky.
"Lin Zhen, can you tell if this is still the Southern Liang?"
Lin Zhen immediately summoned Crazy. "Hurry up and find out where this is."
Crazy quickly gave the answer. "Master, you haven't gone very far from where you were. This is still the Southern Liang's space. The place where you entered the spatial crack is only two hundred million kilometers away."
Lin Zhen nodded. Two hundred million kilometers really wasn't a long distance in the starry sky. It wouldn't take long for them to return.
Lin Zhen summoned the two-headed demonic dragon again and hugged Ning Qingxuan to his chest.
Ning Qingxuan's face blushed as she leaned against his chest. She looked down at the two-headed demonic dragon and said, "Your demonic pet is Flower Taisui's. Its voice is very unpleasant. I don't like it. Let's roast it someday."
The two-headed demonic dragon knew Ning Qingxuan too well. It didn't expect this terrifying woman to become its mistress. It was already scared out of its wits. When it heard that she was encouraging Lin Zhen to eat it, it couldn't wait to transform into an oriole and make a few pleasant sounds for Ning Qingxuan to hear.
But after it screamed twice, Lin Zhen slapped it on the face and said, "Hurry up! Don't look back. Not on the left, not on the right! "
The two-headed demonic dragon quickly flew towards the surface. Lin Zhen asked for Ning Qingxuan's dimensional universe number.
Her dimensional universe was almost never used. It was always in a closed state. After Lin Zhen's reminder, it was finally opened.
After the two of them added each other, Lin Zhen whispered in Ning Qingxuan's ear, "Xuan Er, in fact, in the dimensional universe, you can do a lot of things!"
Ning Qingxuan gently pinched Lin Zhen, then leaned in his arms and said sullenly, "I kind of regret promising you. It will be very difficult for me now."
"Are you going back on your word?"
"Of course not. Since I've promised you, I won't go back on my word. I also hope that you can create a miracle and one day break my fate and appear in front of me. Although I know that it's very unlikely, I have an infinite life. I can always wait for you."
Lin Zhen was secretly touched. It was the hardest thing to accept a beauty's favor. He couldn't let Ning Qingxuan wait for too long.
"Can I ask you for a favor too?" Ning Qingxuan suddenly raised her head and asked Lin Zhen.
"Just say it."
"Chen Er, who is also Liang Chen, will also participate in the challenge of the Star of Divine Punishment. I'm worried about his situation there. When you get there, you'd better take care of him. I know that you're very strong now. There are very few World Kings who can match you."
"You want me to take care of Liang Chen?"
"Mm … Now that you're treating me like this, then … Liang Chen should be your junior, right?" Ning Qingxuan said this matter-of-factly.
