Zhao Ling gently stroked her head and smiled, "Xue'er, how many times have I told you, kisses are only for the people you like the most, you can't just kiss anyone."
The beautiful girl with long golden hair pouted in dissatisfaction and retorted righteously, "For Xue'er, Big Brother Ling is the person Xue'er likes the most. Xue'er has liked Big Brother Ling since she was little. Big Brother Ling is Xue'er's future husband."
"Heh heh, if your father and grandfather knew about this, they'd probably fight me to the death..." Zhao Ling chuckled, in a good mood, and led her to the stone table to sit down. He asked the beautiful girl with long golden hair curiously, "Hmm, where are those two, Serpent Spear and Porcupine Fish? Why aren't they with you? Aren't you afraid something might happen to you?"
The beautiful girl with long golden hair was not at all polite. She directly sat sideways on Zhao Ling's lap and snuggled into his arms, lazily replying, "I don't want them following me. They're just a big nuisance. I finally managed to sneak out of the Crown Prince's mansion to find you, and I definitely don't want them following."
"How can you say that about them? No matter what, they were sent by your grandfather and father to protect you." Zhao Ling smiled gently. Faced with Qian Renxue's longing expression, he really wanted to hold her tightly. But thinking that this girl grew up under his watch, he felt it would be somewhat beastly to lay hands on her.
"I don't need them at all. Although Xue'er's strength isn't very strong yet, after taking the Eight Immortals Pill Big Brother Ling gave me, I'm already over Rank 60. Don't forget that I'm currently posing as the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince. As long as I don't expose my identity, basically no one in the Heaven Dou Empire will do anything to me. Besides, with Big Brother Ling here, does Xue'er still need others to protect her?"
Qian Renxue pouted. Seeing that Zhao Ling still wasn't holding her tightly, she puffed up her cheeks in a wronged manner. "Big Brother Ling, am I not pretty enough? I'm already in your arms, and you still won't hold me tightly?"
With that, Qian Renxue pulled both of Zhao Ling's hands and wrapped them around her waist. Her beautiful eyes looked at him plaintively, making Zhao Ling feel a bit flustered.
"H-how could that be? Xue'er is a super beauty, and Big Brother Ling likes her very much, it's just... If your father and grandfather knew I dared to hug you, they'd probably be so angry they'd run from Spirit City to the Heaven Dou Empire to fight me to the death."
Zhao Ling chuckled awkwardly. To be honest, how could he not be tempted by this girl, Qian Renxue? If he wasn't tempted by her, he wouldn't have used a permanent character summoning card to summon her from a parallel dimension.
Qian Renxue now saw that Zhao Ling was a little swayed and felt secretly pleased. She had already learned from the Diary Copy that she was summoned by Big Brother Ling from a parallel dimension. Otherwise, if her mother Dong'er hadn't been violated by her father, the greatest possibility for her was to permanently disappear from this world.
After all, in the story Big Brother Ling mentioned, she wasn't a protagonist, but a major cannon fodder. The reason Big Brother Ling summoned her from a parallel dimension wasn't to make her cannon fodder. Instead, it was because he found her beautiful and coveted her body. As long as she teased him a little, Big Brother Ling wouldn't be able to resist.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue suddenly leaned close to Zhao Ling's ear and said in a tone that would melt anyone, "Big Brother Ling, you'd better hold your Xue'er tightly. Don't make Xue'er angry, okay..."
Zhao Ling felt Qian Renxue's soft hands become mischievous, and he was quite speechless. Why was this girl more like a rogue than him when she was with him? This wouldn't do. He was a grown man, how could he let a woman take the initiative?
So Zhao Ling restrained her hands and then looked at Qian Renxue seriously, "Xue'er, do you really like Big Brother Ling that much?"
"Hmm, of course. Xue'er has liked Big Brother Ling since she was little. To Xue'er, Big Brother Ling is as important as Grandpa, Dad, and Big Sister Dong'er."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, though at this moment she was a bit confused as to why Big Brother Ling was asking this.
Hearing this answer, Zhao Ling was silent for a moment, then picked her up by the waist and ran directly to his bedroom.
"???"
Qian Renxue was bewildered. She had only asked Big Brother Ling to hold her tightly so she could enjoy the feeling of being in his arms. But, but Big Brother Ling seemed a little off now. Wait, could Big Brother Ling be about to take her right here and now?
Although Qian Renxue had been looking forward to this for over ten years, facing it suddenly now, she felt a little nervous. Because she had heard from her mother Dong'er that Big Brother Ling's physique was utterly insane, and it was best not to face him alone.
So Qian Renxue wanted to call out to Zhao Ling now. She wanted to say she wasn't ready yet. But before she could speak, her red lips were dominantly kissed by Zhao Ling. Qian Renxue immediately felt her mind go blank and stopped struggling, then allowed Zhao Ling to carry her into his room...
Days later, Qian Renxue woke from her sleep and saw Zhao Ling looking at her teasingly. She rolled her eyes at him grumpily.
"Beast, you said you were afraid Xue'er's grandfather and father would be unhappy. But when it came to tormenting Xue'er, you didn't know the first thing about being gentle."
Zhao Ling awkwardly rubbed his nose, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forehead. "No choice, my Xue'er is too beautiful. I, this beast, couldn't control myself."
"Stop it..." Qian Renxue glared at Zhao Ling with her beautiful eyes, then asked, "What day is it since Xue'er arrived here?"
"Hmm... I think it's the fourth day, why?" Zhao Ling asked with some confusion.
"What, the fourth day??? Xue'er needs to hurry back to the Crown Prince's mansion, otherwise, missing court for several days might make it impossible to conceal."
Qian Renxue immediately tried to get out of Zhao Ling's embrace, but he held her firmly and gently comforted her. "Don't worry, I've already sent word to that old man Emperor Xue Ye. I told him the Crown Prince accepted my invitation and is staying as a guest at my mansion. Emperor Xue Ye has long wanted me to adopt Xue Qinghe as my godson."
Zhao Ling showed a triumphant smile and added, "It's just that after that incident, I cut off that relationship. Now that you've been invited to my mansion as a guest, in a way, it means acknowledging that relationship again. For Emperor Xue Ye, it's like a dream come true; he wishes you could stay at my mansion even longer."
"That's good, otherwise it would be troublesome." Qian Renxue secretly sighed in relief, obediently nestled on Zhao Ling's broad chest, and fell fast asleep again.
Zhao Ling saw that this girl was sleeping again and didn't wake her, letting her sleep peacefully in his arms. Such a beautiful sleeping beauty lazily nestled in his arms and sleeping soundly felt like a dream. In his previous life, he wouldn't even have dared to imagine it...
