Not to mention these two thousand-year-old families, he and the local aristocratic family, the Yang Family, had long been mortal enemies. Recently, he had also become irreconcilable with another aristocratic family — the Ximen Family! At the same time, he was still plotting against the Nangong family and guarding against the Xiao family. Of the eight great families in Heavenly Star, he had actually provoked four of them at once. This was not even counting the number one financial magnate in the world, the Xiao family. And now, there was her own Shui Family! If it was anyone else, with so many enemies, they would have already died without a burial ground! However, Ling Tian was still living a carefree and carefree life as though he was enjoying life.
Had he gone mad? He had made so many enemies, and with just his Ling family, that so-called new family, he was still able to be so carefree! He was actually able to move freely between the various powers, gaining the upper hand time and time again! How did he do it? Was this something that a 'human' could do?!
Letting out a sigh, Shui QianRou pulled herself back from her thoughts. "Young Master has his own thoughts, so this little girl shall not make a fool of herself. Dare I ask Prince Ling, what will it take for you to let me out? I hope that Young Master can give me a clear answer! "
"Then you will have to ask Miss Shui yourself." Ling Tian chuckled. "What will it take for me to let you out?"
Shui QianRou's heart skipped a beat and her eyes lit up. Ling Tian's words meant that it wasn't impossible for her to be released. Furthermore, Ling Tian didn't have the intention to imprison her for the rest of her life. The question was whether Shui QianRou would be able to offer something that would move Ling Tian's heart. Thinking of this point, Shui QianRou fell into a state of nervous contemplation. Right now, she did not have full confidence that she could move Ling Tian. After all, the resources she could give him were too limited …
"En, right, I must remind Miss Shui of something." Ling Tian said with a smile. "There is no need to use the honey trap. Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of beauties. This Young Master may be a great hero, but I am also a true gentleman. I will never bow down to a pomegranate. Besides, this Young Master's standards are also quite high. Ordinary women should not make a fool of themselves! "
Shui QianRou gritted her teeth so hard that they almost broke! What a hateful disciple! She endured the pain of her broken bones and dressed herself up meticulously for three days. What was it for? Wasn't it for this? She wanted him to be stunned the moment he saw her. Even if there were many beauties around him, this lady was confident that she would not lose out to them. At the very least, he should have some tender feelings for the fairer sex. Only then would she have some confidence and be able to calmly state her conditions and request for cooperation. In the end, both sides would be able to achieve a win-win situation and everyone would be happy.
Shui QianRou had even thought of what Ling Tian would say, how he would react, and how she should respond. She had also thought about it countless times. But she never expected that Ling Tian would make all her preparations go to waste with just a few words! It was a huge blow to her confidence, trampling on the part of her that she was most confident in! If she could tolerate it, what else could she tolerate?! If the uncle could tolerate it, the aunt could not!
"I'm really trying to act flirtatious for a blind person to see!" Shui QianRou said hatefully. "I've expressed my feelings to the wrong person." While she was hating herself for wasting her efforts, she was also hating this unromantic brute!
"Err," Ling Tian scratched his head awkwardly, rolling his eyes as he chuckled, "This … Miss Shui might have misunderstood just now. Ling Tian's eyes are still able to see the flirtatious look in them. However, while Miss Shui's charm is better than the other courtesans in the Smoky Thea Tower, Miss Shui's flirtatious eyes are filled with a murderous intent … this is something that would cause one's heart to tremble in fear, not to mention any romantic thoughts …"
Just these few words almost caused Shui QianRou to vomit blood from anger. This Ling Tian, you actually dare to compare this lady with those brothels? This is too disgusting!
"Alright, alright." Shui QianRou knew that she was not a match for Ling Tian in a battle of words. Her face fell in defeat. "Prince Ling's tongue is sharp, and this little lady admits defeat. What does Young Noble want? Tell me your true intentions! If I can agree, this lady will not be depressed. If I can't, this lady will accept her fate and be your guest for life. Young Noble, please do not keep me in suspense like a cat playing with a mouse. "
Ling Tian smiled. "Miss is indeed a straightforward person. Ling Tian will also speak frankly. Actually, I don't have any deep hatred with Miss Shui and the Shui Family. Our initial disagreement was due to our different standpoints. The things that Miss Shui has done are naturally difficult for me to agree with. As for my own actions, I'm afraid that they are also extremely evil in Miss Shui's eyes! However, if we were to switch our standpoints, perhaps each of us would be even more excessive than the other. Don't you think so, Miss Shui? "
Shui QianRou pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled. "That's right, your words are very reasonable. However, I want to hear what you have to say next!"
"Well said. Since there is no unresolvable hatred between us and I have imprisoned Miss Shui here, I also feel that this is a very difficult problem to solve." Ling Tian had a vexed look. "Although Miss Shui is going to get married sooner or later, you are still the pure and innocent little princess of the Water of Heavenly Wind. First of all, if I release Miss Shui and she goes back to talk about it, the Water of Heavenly Wind will definitely know that it was me who did this to Miss Shui. No matter what my motive was or what I did in the future, they will definitely come looking for trouble with me. At the very least, they will demand an explanation from me. Isn't that the case? Miss Shui? "
"That's right!" That was the truth and Shui QianRou did not deny it. If she did, this matter would not be discussed any further.
"Secondly, Tamago is involved in this matter." Ling Tian's expression looked as though he was about to cry. "Back then, in order to save Miss Shui, I really did not pay attention and killed two elders from Tamago. The dead cannot be brought back to life. If Miss Shui goes out and advertises for me, I'm afraid that Tamago will become enemies with me. Tamago and the Shui Family are the same. They are both characters that I, Ling Tian, do not dare to offend. Also, my Yan 'er wants to cause trouble for me … "
"Nonsense!" Shui QianRou could not help but retort. "At that time, the people from Tamago had already escaped. It was you who did not let them off and wanted to kill them. That has nothing to do with saving me! Don't pretend to say that I can't offend you. Right now, the number of people from Tamago and the Shui Family that have died in your hands is not small. You have already made the first move. What's the point of saying all this? "
Ling Tian chuckled and said, "Miss is joking again. But this joke is really too cold! Yan 'er and I are in love with each other. Even if this matter is not known to the world, it should be close to it. If not for Miss Shui, I would have already invited those two elders from Tamago back home and treated them well. After all, they are Yan' er's family. But because of Miss Shui, I had no choice but to send them to King Yama. Although I did not kill them, they died for me. Miss Shui, in the end, it is all because of you. You cannot absolve yourself from the blame. "
"Hmph!" Shui QianRou snorted coldly. Ling Tian's tone was strange, causing her to feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Thirdly, in the battle a few days ago, although I did not back down and showed no mercy, the number of experts from the Shui Family that died under my blade was not small. This is another huge enmity." Ling Tian let out a long sigh as he lamented, "I was originally the kindest person in the world, afraid of harming the lives of ants when I sweep the floor. I love moths to protect the lanterns. But to think that I would have to commit such a huge sin, what a sin!"
Shui QianRou was tongue-tied. It was not that she had never seen a shameless person before. But this was the first time that she had seen someone as shameless as Ling Tian! Saying such words, he did not even blush in the slightest! She really had to hand it to him.
"Fourthly, Miss Shui is living here peacefully. I am confident that I can still keep some secrets. But the moment Miss Shui leaves, hehe, this mouth is under Miss Shui's nose. What you want to say is not something that I can control. Miss, don't you think so?! "Ling Tian became more and more sentimental." Please don't talk to me about vows and whatnot. Who is more foolish than who?! In any case, I don't believe it. Then, how can Miss Shui guarantee that I will believe you? Also, after Miss Shui leaves, what benefits will I obtain? Sigh, this is really too vulgar. But there is no other way. Although Ling Tian is a heroic gentleman, I am still an ordinary person. My thoughts can only be like this. I hope that Miss Shui can forgive me. "Ling Tian said somewhat embarrassedly.
The moment the four conditions were mentioned, Shui QianRou was dumbfounded. Of course, she could guarantee that she would not say anything. She could also guarantee that she would bring benefits to Ling Tian. But the problem was, how could she make Ling Tian believe her promise? And this fellow had clearly said that he did not believe in vows.
How could there be such a person in this world?! Shui QianRou almost wanted to hug her head and groan. She really had no other way!
Die 'er, who had been frozen in place by Ling Tian's gaze, had been standing quietly by the side, not daring to say a single word. At this moment, she suddenly leaned over and whispered a few words into Shui QianRou's ear. Shui QianRou's eyes lit up. Suddenly, her face turned red and she became somewhat bashful.
"Both of us are straightforward people. This little sister also knows that words alone are not enough to win Young Master's trust. So, this little sister thought of a compromise." Shui QianRou took out a jade pendant and said, "This jade pendant is this little sister's only personal item. It is also a token of love that my mother gave to this little sister. It is also our Shui Family's heirloom — Heaven's Heart Jade. My mother has said that whoever receives this jade from Qianrou's hands will be Qianrou's husband! This jade is related to this little sister's lifelong happiness. I wonder if Prince Ling can trust this? "
Ling Tian received the jade pendant and felt that it was cold to the touch. It was actually a rare piece of top grade Frost Jade. Without looking at it carefully, he put it into his robes and chuckled. "Whether I believe it or not is secondary. The most important thing is that the weather is hot now. With this item, I can avoid the heat." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
