Chapter 37: Liang Shao Cooks Porridge!

  Facing his humiliating words, Xiao Fengxue was not annoyed at all, probably because people who have died once can look down on many things.

  She smiled and said: "Do you think..."

  Just as he was halfway through his words, the tent was suddenly lifted open, and a man in black casual attire with a cold face and deep, icy eyes appeared.

  The next second, Xiao Ze was lifted up and thrown out of the tent.

  Then Emperor Lingyu looked at the air and said: "Clean up."

  Then several men in black clothes suddenly appeared out of nowhere, lifted up Xiao Ze and left.

  Xiao Fengxue's beautiful eyes widened slightly as she watched this dramatic scene.

  Those men in black had been hiding since they entered the mountain, she knew they were Emperor Liang's bodyguards, but she didn't expect to see them appear for the first time in this way.

  If she wasn't mistaken, "cleaning up thoroughly" didn't mean dealing with Xiao Ze alone, but rather meant to eradicate the entire Xiao family. Although bringing down a municipal party secretary was merely a matter of lifting a finger for Emperor Leng.

  But did Xiao Ze offend him?

  "Kitty." His voice was like an old violin, rich and full of magnetism.

  Her expressionless face seemed as if nothing had happened just now.

  "Huh?" She turned her head to look at him, and she felt it was necessary for her to get used to this weird nickname. Xiao Ze's matter was temporarily thrown to the back of her mind.

  "What were you just doing in the tent?"

  Deep eyes stared at her tightly, brown hair was still wet, looked a bit darker in color, ends slightly curled, skin more tender than usual.

  He found her pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at her...

  What he actually wanted to ask was whether Xiao Ze had done anything to her.

  "Not much, looking at the map, we still have four-fifths of the road that hasn't been walked, today we need to speed up."

  Her faint reply was also a skillful way for the killer to conceal the truth, and half-true, half-false words were most likely to confuse people.

  "Here... " He handed her the steaming porridge, with a white ceramic spoon still on top of the bowl. "Eat up, breakfast."

  "Where did the porridge come from?" She took it over and looked at it, a simple porridge with a few pieces of scallions floating on top, and what seemed to be some meat in the white porridge, warm in her hands.

  "Not poisonous!" He furrowed his brow, made a gesture of taking it back, "You don't have to eat it then."

  "Hey, I didn't say I wasn't going to eat."

  She grabbed the bowl back with her hand, then immediately picked up a spoon and took a mouthful first. How could she not want to eat it? Besides, even if it was poisoned, what's the big deal? With her physique that was immune to hundreds of poisons, she wasn't afraid at all.

  It's quite delicious, with snake meat inside that has been stewed until it's soft and tender. I just don't know where the chef from this desolate mountain came from.

  She glanced at Emperor Liang Xun, just about to ask him why he wasn't eating himself, when she saw a certain pair of eyes staring at her as she ate.

  Despite her best efforts to conceal it, her extraordinary powers of observation still caught a glimpse of a thread of... expectation?

  Just like in the organization before, her comrade-in-arms 'Blood-colored Rose' would look at her with this kind of gaze every time she cooked something for her to try.

  Tense, expectant, like a child waiting for praise.

  Heaven knows she can't stand this kind of gaze, it's simply adorable, let alone the object is Emperor Lingxun with a stunningly handsome face that makes people and gods both jealous.

  "Hmm... it's quite delicious, the craftsmanship is good, but I don't know where this snake meat came from."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Ling's eyes lit up noticeably.

  As expected...

  Her mouth twitched.

  The dignified master of the dark and sinister family, who never got his hands dirty with spring water, used those noble hands to cook porridge...

  "It was you who killed that one yesterday and threw it into the backpack. I gave it to someone else to cook, anyway, you wouldn't have used it even if you kept it."

  Living up to being the Dark Emperor's eldest son, his face didn't flush and he wasn't out of breath.

  Xiao Fengxue almost choked on the porridge in her mouth when she heard this, and she really wanted to say: "Honey, stop it, I know you cooked this, don't be embarrassed."

  "Alright..."

  Although she didn't know why he got up early in the morning to cook porridge for her, anyway, she was quite happy.

  When the first rays of sunlight shine through the forest in the early morning, passing through the dense branches, only leaving dappled light and shadow.

  Qin Jie and the others got up one after another and went to take a bath in the hot spring according to the map.

  Xiao Ze's disappearance was like a stone falling into a lake, stirring up small ripples that soon subsided and were never mentioned again.

  When they saw that he was not there, everyone's first thought was that he had withdrawn from the wilderness survival training on his own, after all, this was a protected area under military jurisdiction, and nothing could have happened to him.

  Xiao Fengxue packed up her tent on the empty ground, folded it neatly and put it in her backpack, waiting for them to finish their bath and come back to pack their own things.

  Wu Wenjie stacked the tent neatly and brought it to Emperor Liang's face, "Uh...Liang Shao, thank you for the tent last night."

  "It's nothing." Emperor Ling Xuan unexpectedly responded with a tone that was as wild and unbridled as the heavens, although he only hummed in response with a cold face, it was already unbelievable enough to others.

  He would respond simply because he was in a good mood, after all, if it wasn't for Wu Wenjie, he wouldn't have slept with Xiao Fengxue all night and had a rare good sleep.

  Last night, if he hadn't appeared and woken her up in time, the consequences... He suddenly didn't dare to think about it again, a groundless fear.

  Even now, thinking back to the icy temperature in my hands at that time, my heart still aches.

  Since he didn't extend his hand, Wu Wenjie didn't think there was anything wrong with it and naturally put the tent into his own backpack behind him. After all, he had also heard that the young master of the imperial family had a severe cleanliness habit, how could he possibly accept something used by others?

  Although some were curious about where he was last night with such a big rain, the classmate who had always been a bit silly did not think too much about it.

  "Liang Shao, have you had breakfast? I brought cookies and milk." Zhuang Yun suddenly walked into Di Liang Xun, smiling sweetly.

  When Xiao Fengxue took out the military map for them to see this morning and said it was obtained by Emperor Liang, all four of them were shocked.

  They knew that Di Fan had always been one of the top financial groups in the country, but they didn't expect that behind their backs, they actually had a connection with the military region and even got hold of maps.

  So, Zhuang Yun's idea, which had been dismissed after being ignored time and again yesterday, began to sprout again.

  As long as I can marry into a truly wealthy family and become the wife of this perfect man who is like a god, being ignored a few times doesn't matter.

  "Not needed."

  Thin lips spat out three icy words, Emperor Liang Xun looked at the girl in front of him who was approaching him with an obvious purpose, and his eyes were undisguised disgust.

  "Not necessary? Have you had breakfast? Never mind, never mind, I'll just put it away."
