Volume 1: Phoenix Hidden in the Northern Realm Chapter 12: Greed is Never Enough (Revised)

  The next day, when Tang Nian woke up in the morning, she was still dazed and found herself being dressed by Cui Ling Yu, washing her face and eating breakfast while sitting on his lap.

  "Awake?" Shi Ling Guhong asked with a hint of a smile.

  Tang Nian's calm and gentle nod, her mouth biting into the Mei Hua Xiang Bing that was just being fed to her, slowly chewing, still not forgetting the welfare habit she had cultivated yesterday - personally feeding Si Ling Gu Yun, in order to eat his saliva.

  Zhu Miao Lou had a feeling that something was off about Tang Nian Nian from the moment she saw her this morning, but since Si Ling Gu Yan didn't say anything, she couldn't either. Now seeing this interaction, she almost dropped her jaw in shock. Awake? The master said she's awake? Could it be that earlier when she opened her eyes and let the master comb her hair and change her clothes, then was carried all the way to Mei Lin for breakfast, eating several mouthfuls of food as the mistress, she was still asleep at that time?

  The answer that was understood by herself made Zhu Miao Jie speechless, she could only silently comfort herself. The main mistress who could make the master care about her and not leave her side for a single moment was naturally different from others.

  After finishing breakfast, Si Ling Gu Hong gently massaged Tang Nian's belly with his hand and asked, "Do you still remember the Ice Abyss Valley we saw yesterday?"

  Tang Nian didn't think that Si Ling's massage was to help her digest food, after all he liked holding her and it wasn't good for digestion. In her opinion, this was just another behavior with a hidden meaning, who knows if she answered incorrectly, those gentle stroking hands would turn into sharp blades tearing open her belly.

  "I remember," Tang Nian replied, feeling that it was not clear enough to satisfy the questioner. She paused and stared at him again: "You said yesterday that there is a thousand-year-old cold pool inside, and a forest of ice jade... I remember what you said."

  Tang Nian's eyes were full of sincerity and adorability, clear and transparent like water, making Si Ling Yu's heart skip a beat again. He felt itchy and soft at the same time. He wished he could press the person in his arms into his flesh and blood, and bring everything she liked to her face.

  His long and dense eyelashes trembled, and Ciling Guyu pressed his lips together, unable to express the turmoil in his heart. He could only rely on his instincts to lower his head and block the mouth of the person in his arms, who always said things that made his heart restless.

  Si Ling Gu Hong wouldn't understand, and Tang Nian Nian, who thinks differently from ordinary people, also wouldn't get it. In modern terms, if Tang Nian Nian had a pair of ears and a tail on her coccyx, she would definitely be swaying back and forth. This guy was completely unaware that he was selling cute to the max. And very obviously, Si Ling Gu Hong's situation was that his Moe point had been struck.

  Zhu Miaotan's face twisted even more, as if she was both shocked and secretly delighted.

  "Ah!" Tang Nian said, this 'surprise' came so quickly and suddenly, after a moment of stunned, she closely cooperated with Si Ling Gu Yun.

  Her eyes would be especially bright at this time, and Si Ling Gu's eyes were also wide open. His eyes were always shrouded in a faint blue shadow under his eyelashes, like the soft and quiet moonlight behind thin clouds. Just looking at his dim and unclear eyes and face, no one could have guessed that his true nature was drastically different from his usual gentle and calm demeanor.

  Tang Nian didn't think that his unintentional behavior would slowly lead out the source of this beast that had been hiding in wait, and this beast was gradually revealing its ferocity. No one knew how terrifying this beast was; once it had made up its mind, it wouldn't let go, and everyone who peeked at its beloved prey would suffer its wrath.

  "Hmm...?" That strange, debilitating feeling returned, this time even stronger than before, leaving her breathless. Tang Nian's nostrils flared constantly as she stared at Si Ling Gu with pleading eyes that shone like dew-kissed pearls. She didn't beg for mercy or struggle violently, not just because she was out of energy, but also because she felt that using eye contact was faster and less likely to provoke him than the other two options.

  She didn't see her hands and feet being held, her lips were also blocked, if she moved it would disturb his behavior, only her eyes are relaxed now, and the other person's eyes are right in front of her, allowing the meaning of begging for mercy to be conveyed to the other party at the first time.

  Cui Ling's lonely eyes blinked lightly and slowly retreated back.

  Tang Nian's eyes widened as she gasped violently, her body trembling along with her ragged breathing. She stared at Si Ling Yu, bewildered by the sudden change in him. Had he discovered his own purpose and was now warning her in this way?

  But she didn't take the initiative, it was always him who came over first. If he didn't make a move, she wouldn't say a word. So how did he find out?

  He was also looking at her, his chest rising and falling slightly, his dark eyes seeming a bit helpless. His gaze slowly moved down from her eyes to those lips that had become red and swollen at this time, paused for a moment, and then slowly stretched out his tongue to lick the liquid on her lower jaw.

  Tang Nian's heart was reluctant to give up even a bit of the hard-won Tianmo poison, and as soon as he felt the safe atmosphere, he boldly and quickly stretched out his tongue to lick his lips in a circle, closed his mouth contentedly, and hid that greedy little tongue, motionless, with clear eyes.

  After Si Ling Gu Hong's body stiffened, he stared at Tang Nian Nian's pupils, where black flames seemed to be constantly jumping. Tang Nian Nian's heart was also skipping a beat as she looked at him. Then, Si Ling Gu Hong suddenly pressed her head into his chest with a strong yet gentle force, stood up and jumped, his low voice husky, "I'll take you to Bing Yuan Valley."

  Tang Nian was reviewing her own greedy behavior that had just crossed the line and nodded very obediently to make up for it.

  Only Zhu Miaoqi was left standing in place with a red face and ears, and could only watch their backs for a long time before "heh" lightly laughing out.
