Chapter 1572: L琉璃 Purple Star 111

the melting snow was incredibly slow. She estimated it would take another day before they could leave."Madam, these are some sweet potatoes we grew ourselves. Please accept them if you don't mind."An...Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi's hateful gaze, reached out and grabbed her hand, soothingly said, "Now that we have the Ghost Saint Kingdom Yaozu map, what are you going to do next"

"Let's start with Luo Li."

Feng Lingxi raised her eyes, her gaze cold. "Isn't he Wan'er's master Now it's time to see how he handles this." Wan'er was someone Luoli had watched grow up, and Feng Lingxi sincerely hoped that Luoli was only forced to help the elders and hoped he would let Wan'er go.

"Alright, Luo Li, I'll investigate this from here."

"Hold your horses, wait until you're fully healed before we talk. Right now, your body can't handle fighting, or it will be difficult to cure." Feng Lingxi pulled back her hand and looked ahead, "Dugu Cheng, with your martial arts and Luoli's abilities if you two could fight to a draw, we would still have a chance of winning. But now, you should know, the Empress Dowager and the court are both watching me closely. I can't take any risks at this crucial moment."

She told Dugu City everything she knew. It wasn't that she wanted him to fight desperately, but she hoped to find a solution to the problem. No matter what happened to them in the future, at least their child was something they shared. For the sake of their child, she hoped Dugu City would stand on the same side as her.

After all, the Empress Dowager is Dugu City's biological mother. Her existence will influence Dugu City.

"Xier, Your concerns, this king understands. This time, this king will listen to you. Whatever you say goes."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng in astonishment. Seeing him nod, his serious expression left Feng Lingxi stunned.

"You...really believe me"

Dugu City took a deep breath, "Didn't you always say that this King would not discuss matters with you and disregard your feelings when acting on his own This time, this King will listen to you. No matter what you want to do, as long as you discuss it with this King, this King will be by your side through thick and thin."

Wind Ling was dumbfounded, she couldn't believe that Dugu City would say that. She thought that after so many years, he wouldn't trust her like he used to, but now he told her he believed in her and wanted to face everything together with her.

"Well...then we share glory and shame."

Feng Lingxi came back to her senses, stretched out her hand, and smiled brightly at Duguo City. After so many years, the inner barriers between the two people also opened up in this moment, smiling at each other.

"Okay."

Feng Lingxi saw Dugu Cheng staring at her, her smile gradually stiffened, and she quickly stood up. "Well, get some rest early, it's most important to take care of your health."

"Hmm." Feng Lingxi held the Yao Clan map Zhao shi had given her back to her bed and opened the box to study it. Dugu Cheng sat at the table, watching Feng Lingxi stare at the map, a smile playing on his lips, sweet like honey.

That night, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng both slept soundly. Though they didn't share a bed, their hearts were gradually drawing closer. For their child, they had let go of everything; their only goal was to protect Wan'er.

"Mother."

Early in the morning, Feng Siqi cried and knocked on the door. Feng Lingxi hurriedly got up and ran over. Dugu City had already reached the door ahead of her. She opened the door and saw Feng Siqi standing at the door with tears still hanging from her eyes, looking pitiful.

"Siqi, what's wrong with you"

Dugu Cheng bent down and picked her up. Feng Siqi saw Dugu Cheng and burst into tears. This action startled Dugu Cheng quite a bit.

"Siqi, what's wrong with you"

Siqi had just dreamt that her mother had died.

Dugu Cheng's lips twitched slightly, and Feng Lingxi, who arrived shortly after, heard Siqi's words and felt embarrassed. This child...

"Siqi, mother is here."

Feng Lingxi hurriedly hugged Feng Siqi in her arms and coaxed softly, "Siqi had a nightmare, didn't you Mommy is right here, aren't I"

Feng Siqi looked up at her mother, tears welling in her eyes. "Mother, but what Siqi dreamed was so real. Mother, you were covered in blood and lying on the ground. I couldn't wake you up no matter what, Mother, Siqi is so scared."

"It's okay, it was just a dream. Don't be afraid."

Feng Lingxi soothed her, but in her mind, a picture emerged. Siqi had always been someone who rarely dreamt, let alone nightmares like this. No wonder she was crying out of fear.

"Xier, did Siqi sleep by herself or with Wan'er"

"I used to sleep with my mother, but now she wants to sleep with you, so I have to sleep alone. Siyu doesn't want me to sleep with her either. My older sister always disappears in the middle of the night, and Siqi is all alone and pitiful. No one wants to be with me."

"Feng Siqi, no one treats people like this. Did you not sleep with me last night" Lu Nian hurried over and quickly explained, "I asked you to sleep with me, but you refused. You insisted on sleeping alone, and now you're saying I didn't want you."

Such a huge injustice, being the big uncle is so hard.

"I'm not sleeping with you! You're a guy, and besides, you snore, grind your teeth, and fart in your sleep..."

"I don't have any!"

Lu Nian doubted his life after being told by Feng Siqi. He, the heir to the Lu family, how could he grind his teeth, snore, and fart This is impossible.

Feng Lingxi finally understood.

"Then you sleep with your mother tonight, Mother will keep you company."

Feng Siqi immediately reached out to wipe her tears, “Okay.”

"To put it simply, he wants to sleep with your mother. It's not my fault."

Lu Nian pouted, his face full of grievance. What grudge could he possibly have against her to smear him like this He was a handsome and refined young master!

Feng Siqi stared at Lu Nian, dumbfounded. She had been so foolish, how else could her mother allow her to sleep with them

"Alright, stop crying."

Feng Lingxi wiped Siqi's tears from the corners of her eyes, looking at her daughter's chubby cheeks. Thinking about what Siqi had just said, she asked, "Siqi, what did you mean when you said that Wan'er disappeared in the middle of the night"

I don't know either. I sleep with Sister Wan'er. Every time I get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I haven't seen her. But I didn't dare to wander around. After I finished using the bathroom and went back, I fell asleep. When I woke up, Sister Wan'er was there again.

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "What's going on"

"Wouldn't Wan'er have gone to the convenience store too"

"It's not like you fell into a latrine and would be gone for half a day, is it"

Feng Siqi's words left Dugucheng speechless. It seems like only Wan'er could know for sure.

"Siqi, did you see Waner when you came"

Feng Siqi shook her head, and Lu Nian also felt puzzled.

"When I heard what Siqi said, I realized too, that Wan'er has been especially busy lately. Every time she goes out with Suyue, and I don't know what they do Plus, I just do my own thing and don't tell me anything."

"Go out"

Feng Lingxi frowned, "Did Su Yue take her out"

"It should be, Su Yue has followed Wan'er for so many years, always inseparable, and as her attendant, she must have taken Wan'er somewhere."

Feng Lingxi thought of a person. Luoli had been in the capital for several days, and Wan'er was his disciple. There was no reason not to meet him, but why didn't Wan'er tell them she went out to see Luoli

Is it unwillingness, or a reluctancend her awayAnd, Luo Li's tenderness towards Wan Er, is he truly wanting to let her go, or is it an act"Stay here, I'm going to take care of something. Don't wander off."Feng Lingxi responded, watching...
