The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

The group entered a thatched courtyard that looked ordinary but actually held a secret.

The yard is not big, but it seems to be able to accommodate the changes in the world.

The guards standing around had expressionless faces and eyes as sharp as eagles.

It seemed that even the dust in the air could not escape their surveillance.

The thatched house in the center is simple yet unruly.

The thatched roof swayed in the wind, as if whispering the legends of the past.

Inside the house, a tattered mat was spread out on the ground, and lying on it was a man with a long beard and a dark face.

However, at this moment, he looked more like an old tree root forgotten by time. Although his vitality was tenacious, he could not hide his signs of decay.

Sitting next to him was none other than the King of Cold, Ling Jinhan.

He was dressed in plain clothes, free from dust.

The military book in his hand seemed to attract his attention more than the tea in the cup.

The sunlight shines through the window and onto his angular face, adding a touch of tenderness to his coldness.

He took a sip of tea, his movements so graceful that it seemed as if he was tasting the most precious wine in the world, completely ignoring the tense atmosphere outside.

"Your Majesty, your mentality is more stable than the old tree in our yard."

As soon as Liu Jingshu entered the room, she came up to him tenderly and softly.

Her eyes, which seemed to be dripping with water, gave Ling Jinhan an all-round "eye massage".

Ling Jinhan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.

It was a long while before they got down to business.

"How is it? Did you bring the person?"

Liu Jingshu looked delicate and said, "My Lord, just rest assured that I will do the job~"

She said this and winked deliberately.

Ling Jinhan nodded.

His eyes fell on the seemingly inconspicuous tattered mat in the corner again, his brows slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of amusement in his tone.

"Are you sure this trick of 'substituting a dead person for a dead person' will work?"

Ling Jinhan picked up the teacup, took a sip and continued asking.

"After all, Liu Yaoyao is the beloved daughter of the King of the South of Yun. Can our 'father' make her willingly take out the legendary magic water?"

Liu Jingshu opened her mouth and was very happy.

She didn't just find someone randomly, this person is her real father.

But it’s not Liu Yaoyao’s, but hers, Liu Jingshu’s.

Although he is not Liu Yaoyao's blood relative, he is her adoptive father who has depended on her since childhood.

Princess Yaoyao is famous for her filial piety and deep affection for her friends.

She just didn't believe that she would ignore this dying person.

Humph, by then, forget about the magic water. Even if she had to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I’m afraid she wouldn’t even frown.

Thinking of this, Liu Jingshu felt even more proud.

She deliberately lowered her voice and explained mysteriously.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have prepared a good show. I guarantee that Liu Yaoyao will be willing to offer the magic water with tears and snot. Then we will reap the benefits."

When Ling Jinhan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he secretly complained in his heart.

This woman is really getting better and better at playing.

However, he had to admit that although this plan was absurd, it was still a good idea.

He nodded in a pretended serious manner, with a sly glint in his eyes.

"Okay, as you wish.

However, remember to act your part fully, and don’t let yourself get caught.”

Liu Jingshu's hands, which seemed to be kissed by the spring breeze, danced a light waltz between Ling Jinhan's rock-hard neck.

He made assurances repeatedly.

The corners of Ling Jinhan's mouth rose unconsciously, as if the gloom of the past few days was swept away by this sudden sand sculpture atmosphere.

Liu Jingshu coaxed Ling Jinhan and gave some instructions outside the house.

The guard immediately threw the unconscious Liu Yaoyao next to the broken mat.

As Ling Jinhan spoke, he straightened his collar which was slightly messy after being "ravaged" by Liu Jingshu.

Then he patted the chair next to him, which seemed cold but actually concealed tenderness, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Liu Jingshu understood what he meant.

Like a kitten that had successfully stolen some food, it jumped lightly and sat next to Ling Jinhan.

She even deliberately leaned her body slightly, as if that would allow her to be closer to him.

Ling Jinhan took the opportunity to grab her restless little hands.

A dance on fingertips filled the space between the two people.

Every touch seemed to carry an electric current, making the air around them subtle.

It seemed that the waiting time was too long and Ling Jinhan was a little impatient.

He gently pushed the teacup in his hand towards Liu Jingshu, and the movement was so graceful that it seemed as if he was performing a sacred ritual.

Liu Jingshu took the teacup, her eyes rolled, and a plan came to her mind.

She stood up pretending to be serious and sighed at the unconscious Liu Yaoyao.

"Sister, sister, look, nowadays even tea should be drunk while it's hot, why don't you know to wake up and beg for mercy while I'm in a good mood?"

After saying that, she waved her hand violently.

The cup of tea turned into a silver arc and fell accurately on Liu Yaoyao's face, successfully waking her up from her sweet dream.

Liu Yaoyao suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of confusion and fear, like a drowned chicken that had just been pulled out of the water.

"Ah! Where...where is this? What happened to me?"

She looked around as she spoke, and when she saw the perfect couple Liu Jingshu and Ling Jinhan, her jaw dropped.

"Oh, you're awake? It just so happens that my princess has just run out of tea. The water droplets on your face are a perfect match. It saves me from having to find water to wash."

Liu Jingshu shrugged innocently.

Ling Jinhan couldn't help laughing at the side.

He had never seen such a "unique" way of waking someone up, and he liked Liu Jingshu even more.

Liu Yaoyao was completely dumbfounded. She probably never thought that she would "see the light of day" in this way.

Liu Yaoyao stood there in a daze, not coming back to her senses for a long time.

It wasn't until a gust of cold wind blew and made her shiver that she realized her situation.

She quickly glanced around the surroundings, the dilapidated thatched huts and the indifferent guards.

And the couple in front of her, who seemed to be close yet exuded a strange aura, gave her an ominous premonition.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Liu Yaoyao's voice trembled slightly, but she tried to remain calm.

Liu Jingshu chuckled, slowly stood up and walked in front of Liu Yaoyao.

He squatted down and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Sister Yaoyao, don't be afraid, we just want to ask you for a small favor."

As she spoke, she gently patted Liu Yaoyao's cheek. The action seemed gentle, but in fact it contained a threat.

"What's the deal?"

Liu Yaoyao asked warily, her eyes moving back and forth between Liu Jingshu and Ling Jinhan.

"It's very simple. As long as you hand over the magic water in your hand, we will let you go and promise not to hurt you in the slightest."

Ling Jinhan finally spoke, his voice was low and magnetic, yet it carried unquestionable majesty.

"Magic water? I don't have any magic water!"

Liu Yaoyao was shocked when she heard this, and immediately denied it.

She knew very well how precious and dangerous the magic water was. If it fell into the hands of others, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Really?"

Liu Jingshu raised a playful smile at the corner of her mouth and turned to look at her "father" lying on the broken mat. Her eyes seemed to be saying.

"You see, your precious daughter doesn't seem to be planning on saving you."

Liu Yaoyao followed her gaze and saw that the "father" was unconscious.

But his face was pale and his breath was weak, and it was obvious that his life was hanging by a thread.

Her heart suddenly tightened.

That was her father in Nanyang. Even though he was not her biological father, the kindness of raising her could not be erased.

"me……"

Liu Yaoyao hesitated. She couldn't just stand by and watch him die, but handing over the magic water would mean putting herself in danger.

Just then, Ling Jinhan suddenly spoke.

"Princess Chen, if it weren't for us, I'm afraid you would have already passed away. As long as you are willing to cooperate, we promise to properly place your 'father' and keep you safe."

Liu Yaoyao felt even more hateful when she heard this.

Keep her safe?

To put it nicely, isn't it just imprisonment?
