Chapter 1624: A Lifetime Together 32

matter still needs to be discussed with Dugu City before making a decision. Whether it's worth saving Feng Aotian, she also has to weigh it carefully."The Master has left, I don't know when he will be..."I don't want to try the feeling of separation again."

Duguxing’s words were filled with heartache. Seeing Feng Lingxi's stunned expression, he reached out and pulled her beside him, sitting down on his large thighs. He wrapped his arms around her, his voice soft, "This king promised you that I would tell you everything and protect you."

"If you had been like this before, we wouldn't have divorced several times." Feng Lingxi hugged Dugu City's neck and kissed him on the face contentedly, smiling brightly, "But I was wrong too back then. I shouldn't have kept it from you, letting us misunderstand each other."

"So, we can't keep doing things the way we used to, after all, we have three children now."

Feng Lingxi responded with a soft hum, her gaze meeting the tenderness in Dugu City's eyes. Her entire mood had shifted, and her heart began to flutter at his words. However, upon seeing Dugu City's snow-white hair, a tinge of guilt still clouded her expression.

"Give me your hand, I'll check your pulse and see how well your body is recovering."

Du Gu Cheng stretched out his hand, looking at Feng Ling Xi's concerned eyes, becoming more and more gentle.

"How is this king's body Is there still a problem"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng in bewilderment, "Your body has recovered this quickly, it's better than I imagined."

“With your meticulous care, how could I not be well Besides, as long as you're willing to return to my side, all of my ailments will vanish without a trace.” Dugu Cheng spoke with sincerity. Xi’er was his everything, his driving force. As long as she was by his side, Dugu Cheng felt brimming with fighting spirit, capable of achieving anything.

"It's a shame, I still can't turn your hair back to black."

Feng Lingxi touched Dugu City's silver hair, it was really hard to imagine what kind of pain would cause one to go white overnight.

"Dugu Cheng, what was your state of mind back then I can't really imagine it. All I can say to you here is I'm sorry. I didn't know back then that everything you did was an act, that you were protecting me. I thought you didn't care about my life or death, so..."

Dugu Cheng lowered his head and sealed Feng Lingxi's lips, preventing her from speaking further. He didn't want to hear about the past, nor did he want her to over-blame herself for this hair. All he wanted to tell her was that those pains were over, and now he just wanted to start anew with her, even if his hair could never return to its former state, he didn't mind.

After a domineering and passionate kiss that lasted for what felt like an eternity, Dugu Cheng finally slowly let go of Feng Lingxi. He was catching his breath as he said, "From now on, you are not allowed to blame yourself. It was all my fault."

Feng Lingxi looked into Dugu Cheng's eyes, seeing the intense heat burning within them. She nodded slightly, and Dugu Cheng pulled her into his embrace. She listened to the powerful beat of his heart.

As Dugu City said, Feng Lingxi just needs to wait obediently for him, and he will take care of everything. The next day, Dugu City brought her news. Yaozu didn't know about Xinshui's death yet. Xiao Li's return was at the behest of the great elder. However, the great elder wasn't completely confident in bringing Feng Lingxi back, so he thought of sending Xiao Li.

As expected, if Xiao Li's mission this time fails, she will face punishment from the Yao clan, which could even cost her life.

Not only did Dugu City find out about these things, but he also discovered that Xiao Li had been forced to take poison. If there was no antidote, she would die if she failed her mission.

Of course, these were all Luo Li telling Dugu City, because Luo Li had taken this special medicine.

Three days have passed, two days since Feng Aotian's crisis was resolved. Feng Lingxi took the things her mother left behind in Feng Aotian's mansion, and Feng Yixuan also returned to Zhen Guo Gongfu to take care of things. Feng Lingxi met with Xiao Li.

Xiaoli thought Feng Lingxi had agreed to her request and arrived at Lu's residence as promised. She was still as cold as a stranger, and there wasn't a familiar word between her and Feng Lingxi. She went straight to the point and asked, "Lord Saint, have you figured it out"

Feng Lingxi looked at the several maidservants beside Xiaoli and said faintly, "Sit down and talk."

Little Li sat down, with several maidservants standing beside her, like bodyguards, as if afraid she would kill Little Li. They guarded her meticulously.

"You guys don't have to keep guarding her like this. I won't hurt her, even if I could, I wouldn't." Feng Lingxi said this, but Xiao Li was still expressionless, as if she wasn't speaking to her at all.

Feng Lingxi really wants to know if Xiaoli truly forgot her or is pretending. If she's pretending, she can only say that Xiaoli acts too convincingly. This cold attitude makes her doubt if this is really her Xiaoli.

Those maids ignored Feng Lingxi and continued to protect Xiaoli.

"Your Holiness need not speak of these matters. Between you and I, it is either to follow this palace back to the Yao clan, or to have this palace escort you back."

"You're saying this anyway means you want me to go back with you. But Xiaoli, could you give me a little more time I still have some things to finish here in the capital and can't leave just yet."

"How long will it take"

Xiao Li's answer surprised Feng Ling Xi, who excitedly said, "I don't know much about this either, but I'll do my best, okay"

Xiao Li's eyes narrowed coldly, her voice full of warning, "Are you playing me"

Feng Lingxi hurriedly explained, "No, I'm serious. I really need some time. The court is in such a state right now, and I can't leave. As you know, besides being the Holy Master of Yaozu, I am also the princess of Xigu Kingdom. My mission here is also important."

"What task"

Xiao Li stared at Feng Ling Xi, "Holy Lord don't try to fool this palace."

"We've known each other for ages, you know that. If I didn't want to leave, even if you dragged me away, I would find a way to escape. Do you really want to take me with you when all I do is run" Feng Lingxi rolled her eyes. Xiaoli was hers. If she hadn't truly lost her memory, she would know what kind of person she was.

"The Grand Elder did not give me time, nor did he give the Holy Lord time. I'm afraid I cannot agree."

Then you tell them to go talk to the elder.

Feng Lingxi pointed at those maids, "Aren't you the Holy Guardian Isn't the Grand Elder's purpose to bring me back If I don't go back, can his purpose be fulfilled Besides, don't forget, there are many things that even if you get them, you won't be able to use them without me telling you. And there's also the Lu family of Xigu Kingdom, which is my father's family. I know you went to the Lu family to get something but failed. Think about it carefully yourself."

Feng Lingxi's words turned from a discussion to a declaration of disbelief. She simply couldn't fathom that the Grand Elder wouldn't care about Zi Xing and Bai Liu Li, those were essential items after all.

The Lord knows a lot.

Xiaoli stared at Feng Lingxi, "Since that's the case, today the Holy Lord is not here to discuss matters with this Palace, but to threaten this Palace."ighness, this dowry of Luo Side Consort is truly quite abundant. It surpasses even what Your Highness brought when you first married into the Fourth Prince's Residence."Little Li counted the dowry, lo...
