Volume 2 ◆ Flourishing Talent VS Overlooking the World ◆ 026 Knowing Who to Trust

  Along the white stone path lined with blooming flowers and trees, pushing aside the emerald green large leaves, the delicate veins spread out on the leaf surface, weaving into a web of years.

  The warm sunshine falls on the body, bringing a very comfortable warmth. The swaying leaves hold sparkling dew, making soft whispers in the wind.

  Phoenix Snow lifted her skirt, stepped over a small stream, and turned around in the golden sunlight, waving at Emperor Tian Ce. A few golden moon beads were scattered among her hairpins, shining with brilliant light.

  A long dress with a thousand flowing waters, in the wind, her sleeves fluttering, an ethereal aura, extraordinary and transcendent.

  Tian Ce Emperor followed her footsteps, with a gentle expression under his snow-white mask. His red clothes fluttered over the green creek water, dancing in the wind, his figure handsome and unmatched.

  "Pretty sister, where are you taking Ze'er?"

  His soft voice, with a very pleasant tone, reached Feng Miao Xue's ears. His bright and shiny eyes, full of trust, stared at Feng Miao Xue, clean like a crystal, making her heart softer and softer.

  Her world was dark to the extreme, and he was like the sun in the sky, full of light and warmth, making her want to get close, wanting to protect.

  Looking into his eyes, she felt a sense of peace and tranquility, and she cherished this feeling deeply.

  "Zhe'er will know right away! Zhe'er be good and don't be afraid, from now on sister will take care of you!"

  Feng Mei Xue patted his shoulder and said with a heroic tone. His arm didn't forget to pat his shoulder, that domineering appearance, was indeed the demeanor of an elder sister.

  She just wants to protect him and prevent him from being bullied!

  The way he thought was evident when they met, and now it's swirling in her mind. Saying it out loud is so natural. Every word comes from the heart, full of sincerity, without any pretence.

  "Sister is so great!"

  Although Tian Ce Emperor wanted to laugh very much, he still made the greatest effort to hold back his laughter and only allowed a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his hand to pull her sleeve, pretending to be dependent on her.

  As he watched her make those bold and heroic statements to protect herself, a warm current flowed endlessly from his heart, rushing towards his limbs, pouring into the depths of his soul, making him feel warm and comfortable from the inside out.

  The people around him think he's stupid, either mocking or humiliating him.

  Those who know his true identity are in awe of him like a god, and no one dares to offend him in the slightest.

  No one has ever spoken to him like that before, no one has ever been so good to him.

  "Haha! You're the first person to say I'm good!"

  Feng Mei Xue laughed with a bright and radiant face, pulled him up by the hand, and jumped towards the high eaves of the distant palace. With several borrowed forces, she easily brought him to sit on the high glazed tile roof. The flying eaves of the roof were hung with bronze wind chimes.

  A pleasant and refreshing bell sound, every time the wind passes by, it will ring incessantly.

  "Son, aren't you afraid?"

  "Don't be afraid! Sister will protect Ze'er!"

  Tian Ce Emperor's words made Feng Miao Xue's eyes curve into two crescent moons.

  "Yes, I will protect you!"

  Feng Mei Xue's absolutely beautiful face had a smile as bright as flowers and was gentle like the moon.

  Every time she feels lost, she stands in a high place, looking at the vast sky and earth, the clear and distant sky, and her mood calms down.

  She was once strong enough to protect everything she cherished, so strong that when her father had nowhere to turn and knelt down to beg for her forgiveness, there wasn't a single thread of vengeful pleasure in her heart.

  In this vast world, she couldn't feel a single thread of warmth.

  Even her mother didn't understand her and thought she shouldn't have driven her biological father to that point.

  But Mother didn't know that if she wasn't ruthless, they wouldn't have a way out.

  If she hadn't taken a step ahead and solved the problem of her so-called father's expensive hired killer, she wouldn't have had the chance to see his regretful side.

  Everyone thought she was a demon, everyone thought she was a bad person, thinking that she was ruthless and unfeeling, with no regard for her own family, and even those around her never dared to get close to her.

  It wasn't until this moment that the man in front of her was so simple and sincere, making her bitter and cold heart feel an indescribable feeling.

  She's actually not a good person, she's only nice to people she cares about, and doesn't bother with others.

  The long road is vast, who knows with whom? Who will be by her side again?

  She had also wandered in this strange world, but she had no other choice. Since she came, she would live a good life!

  She gazed at the vast imperial palace, and she really didn't know where to find the Spring Spirit Fruit. The Carefree Holy Doctor had secretly told her alone about the news that there was a Spring Spirit Fruit in the imperial palace, so she guessed that this Spring Spirit Fruit must be something extraordinary.

  So he didn't say it openly, but quietly told her. Being able to tell her such a message, he must have given her the greatest favor.

  After all, she and he were just fleeting acquaintances!

  She was already grateful to have made it this far, and for the rest, she would rely on her own efforts. Even though the palace was so big, she had never seen a Spirit Spring Fruit before, but she would still search every place one by one.

  There is still a glimmer of hope, and she won't give up easily.

  Tian Ce Emperor sat beside her, quietly watching her, the cold aura on her body making his chest feel a faint pang of pain.

  It seemed as if the whole world had only her, and no one else. Her world was cold like snowflakes in a harsh winter, without any warmth.

  Her gaze was extremely light, extremely light, with little emotion, making it impossible for him to guess what she was thinking.

  He lay down, looked up at the sky, watching white clouds drift by, and there were no countless dark whistles around him. He felt that the air was refreshed a bit.

  "Pretty sister, are you looking for something?"

  He curiously opened his mouth and asked, with a tone that was exactly like a child with an extremely strong desire for knowledge.

  "Hmm, I'm looking for a fruit called Quanling Fruit!"

  Feng Mei Xue did not hide it from him, speaking bluntly. She didn't know that the Quan Ling fruit was a forbidden secret of the imperial family, and no outsider knew except for the core members of the imperial family.

  As for how the Carefree Sage Doctor knew, apart from himself, probably no one else knows.

  "Pretty sister is looking for delicious fruit?"

  The Tian Ce Emperor's eyes flashed with a momentary surprise, quickly turning calm. In his heart, however, a storm was brewing, and he couldn't fathom how she had come to know about the Quanling fruit.

  "How delicious is Quan Ling fruit? I don't know either. But what I do know is that I want it!"

  Feng Mei Xue's words were filled with determination, as if she would not rest until her goal was achieved.

  "Zi'er has seen a very beautiful fruit!"

  The Emperor Tian Ce sat up straight and said in a soft voice, his eyes fixed on her, having made up his mind about something.
