Chapter 144: I Will Also Love Your Highness

“Sister Nongqin, you’re from the same Sect as Young Master Lin, right? And you seem to have a very good relationship.”

Sikong Wangxing smiled as she looked at Jiang Nongqin.

“Ah, no… no.” Jiang Nongqin’s cheeks were flushed, and she waved her hands repeatedly. “Nong Qin’s status is humble; how could I dare speak of a good relationship with Your Highness? Nong Qin… Nong Qin is just Your Highness’s subordinate…”

“Eh? Is it really just like that? But when Sister Nongqin was in danger, that Big Bad Guy was truly angry, you know.”

Zhu Ling sat up from Sikong Wangxing’s soft embrace.

“Sister Nongqin, although that Big Bad Guy is usually cold and fierce, it’s clear that he really cares about you.”

“Eh? Re-really?” A flash of joy and happiness passed through Jiang Nongqin’s eyes, and her small hands poked each other happily.

Does Your Highness… does Your Highness really care about me? Even just a little bit would be fine.

“Really, really! Also, Sister Wang Xing, when that Big Bad Guy brought you here, it looked like if I couldn’t save you, he was going to eat me. It was very scary.”

Zhu Ling added, though as she thought about it more, she became a little angry.

“Hmph! That Big Bad Guy only knows how to be fierce to me, and only knows how to bully me! Big Bad Guy!”

Zhu Ling picked up a small pebble and threw it into the pond, causing ripples to splash.

“It’s alright. Actually, Young Master Lin might not be being fierce to Sister Zhu Ling.”

Sikong Wangxing smiled and stroked Zhu Ling’s hair, soothing the Little White Rabbit who was pouting.

Although Young Master Lin often bullied Sister Zhu Ling, she could see that Young Master Lin truly doted on Sister Zhu Ling, as if she were his own sister.

And that occasional bullying and teasing, was it not a sign of closeness?

But there was no need to tell Sister Zhu Ling these things for now. Perhaps when she returned to Medicine King Valley, she would miss Young Master Lin’s little bouts of bullying.

“Sister Nongqin, could you tell us what Young Master Lin is usually like when he’s at the Sect?”

Sikong Wangxing shifted the topic and asked Jiang Nongqin, even though in her heart, she knew it was impossible to marry him.

But the young girl intended to keep Lin Xun in her heart for a lifetime. Even knowing there would be no result, she still couldn’t help wanting to know more about him.

“Eh? Your Highness? Your Highness…”

Nong Qin thought for a moment. As she thought, a brightness appeared in her eyes, as if she were slowly opening her most precious memories.

“Your Highness is a very gentle person. The first time I met him, I was almost eaten by a Demonic Beast.

It was Your Highness who saved me. At the time, I was terrified and sat on the ground crying. Although Your Highness was fierce and told me not to cry, saying he’d throw me to the wolves otherwise…

Then I cried even harder, but Your Highness still didn’t throw me to the wolves. Instead, he sat by my side and stayed with me the whole time.

Although everyone in the Sect is afraid of Your Highness, he is very popular with women. However, aside from Sister Su Ying, we have never seen Your Highness associate with any other women.”

“Su Ying.” In Sikong Wangxing’s eyes, that girl who always had a smile on her face appeared again. That cherry blossom-like posture was unforgettable after just one glance.

But that girl, as beautiful as cherry blossoms, made people feel danger and afraid to approach.

“So,” Nong Qin continued, “Sister Zhu Ling, rest assured. Your Highness is not like the rumors say. On the contrary, Your Highness will not make things difficult for any girl.”

“Really?” The Little White Rabbit suddenly felt she had hope again.

“Mhm.”

Nong Qin nodded.

In fact, there was one more sentence in Nong Qin’s heart that she didn’t say.

That is, she hoped Your Highness would indulge in women more; that way, perhaps she would have a chance.

“Sister Nongqin seems to like Young Master Lin very much.” Just as Jiang Nongqin was lost in her own thoughts, her small hands constantly pinching her skirt, Sikong Wangxing smiled.

“Ah, no… it’s not… that is, I… mm-mm-mm.”

Having her thoughts exposed, Nong Qin wanted to say something, but her face only grew redder.

Finally, Nong Qin just lowered her head, shyly looking as if she wanted to bury her head in her deep cleavage. Her fair feet even tensed slightly, gently rubbing against each other in the spring water.

“Eh? Sister Nongqin likes that Big Bad Guy?”

Zhu Ling looked very surprised.

“Sister Nongqin,” Zhu Ling subconsciously lowered her voice, “that Big Bad Guy is super fierce, and you’re so gentle. If you marry him, you’ll definitely be bullied…”

“Marry… marry… marry Your Highness…”

It seemed Jiang Nongqin didn’t notice the main point at all, her mind still spinning with Zhu Ling’s words.

“No, it’s not possible, it’s not possible.” Nong Qin waved her hands quickly, her face red. “How… how could I be qualified to marry Your Highness? To be able to serve by his side and see him every day, I am already very content. I…”

“Puff~~~”

A wisp of white steam rose from the girl’s head, and her eyes began to spin as if her brain had overheated. She was unable to speak for a moment.

Zhu Ling was even more stunned, her adorable eyes blinking.

Only wishing to serve that Big Bad Guy? Sister Nongqin feels she isn’t qualified to marry him?

Heavens, besides being very powerful, what’s so good about that Big Bad Guy? Sister Nongqin is so beautiful and has such a good figure; why wouldn’t she be qualified?

Wang Xing also looked at Nong Qin in surprise, her mood a bit complicated.

‘Even if the other party doesn’t like me, it’s fine. I also want to be by his side, watch him, and serve him.’

Has Sister Nongqin’s love for Young Master Lin reached this point?

“Sister Nongqin,” Wang Xing bit her lip lightly and called out softly.

“Ah, yes.” Hearing Wang Xing call her, Nong Qin snapped back to her senses, though her cheeks were still flushed.

Sikong Wangxing lowered her eyes: “Sister Nongqin… does Sister Nongqin know… know if Young Master Lin has someone he likes?”

“Eh???” Zhu Ling was even more shocked!

What?

That Big Bad Guy?

He actually likes someone else?

She thought this Big Bad Guy would grow old alone…

“I know…” Nong Qin’s small feet in the pool moved slightly, rippling the spring water. Her eyes were like the moon, clear and transparent.

“Then Sister Nongqin…” Zhu Ling felt her little brain was no longer enough.

That Big Bad Guy already has someone he likes, so why is Sister Nongqin still so devoted to him?

“I like Your Highness, and in this life, I will only like Your Highness.

Even if I am not in Your Highness’s eyes, I will still love him.

As I said before, being able to serve Your Highness and be by his side every day is the greatest fortune of this life.”
