At dawn, Emperor Xiao Ping finally couldn't hold on any longer, and he fell into a deep sleep with his forehead against the wall.

When he woke up, it was already bright outside. The warm morning sun shone through the window onto him.

There was still a pleasant aroma in the air, fresh and warm.

Emperor Xiao Ping turned to look at the woman and found that the kang was clean and there was no trace of the woman. The bedding the woman had slept on was neatly folded and placed in the corner.

The woman's injuries haven't healed yet, could she have left without saying goodbye?

Emperor Xiao Ping frowned. For some reason, he suddenly felt panic and loss in his heart.

He stood up and wanted to go out to look for her. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the woman standing in the middle of the yard, smiling as beautifully as a flower.

Her hair was not combed, and her long black hair was like a waterfall, dancing gently with her movements.

She was still wearing Mrs. Lin's clothes, which were loose on her exquisite body. When she lifted her arms slightly, she could see her jade-white skin underneath.

She had tightened the collar of her clothes, but her soft and fair neck could not be covered. The collarbone below her neck was as slender as a butterfly's wings, and as beautiful as a well-made handicraft, making people want to reach out and touch it, and rub and play with it in their palms.

Emperor Xiao Ping was slightly stunned, and after a moment he moved his gaze away from the woman, and then his pupils suddenly shrank.

What did he see?

The one playing with the woman is... Da Mi!

His heart felt as if it had been hit hard and he suddenly felt a pain.

However, he has always been rational and recovered from the shock in just a moment.

That's not Da Mi, it's just a cat that looks very similar to Da Mi.

Emperor Xiao Ping knew that it was not Da Mi, but he still walked over and picked up the cat involuntarily.

The cat in his arms looks very similar to Da Mi, with a tortoiseshell color, like golden spots scattered on the black glaze, as beautiful as the sun.

It has a gentle temperament and does not scratch anyone when held in Emperor Xiao Ping's arms. Instead, it rubs against his sleeves affectionately and purrs.

"I also had a cat when I was a child. It was my best friend, but unfortunately I failed to protect it."

Emperor Xiao Ping spoke in a calm voice, with his head lowered, his eyebrows and eyes gentle, and his slender fingers stroked the cat in his arms again and again.

Da Mi is a memory he has always avoided because it is too painful.

He didn't expect that after so many years, he would be able to recall it calmly and tell a stranger about that deep, painful memory.

However, he would not reveal his identity to the woman. He described those princes as children from neighboring families.

Those people hurt his Da Mi. Even though they have the same father and are related to him by blood, they are not worthy of being his brothers!

Although Su Wanti had read about the experience of Xiao Pingdi and Da Mi with the help of the system, her eyes still turned red after listening to him.

At this moment, she tilted her head slightly, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, her nose and cheeks were red because she was holding back her tears, her cherry lips were tightly pursed, looking weak and kind.

She sniffed, her voice trembling slightly, and she reached out her bare hand to touch the cat's head, "Sir, this is not your fault. You were still young at the time and didn't have the ability to protect it. But now you have great kung fu skills, you can protect anyone you want to protect!"

In fact, when the killer attacked the two of them yesterday, seeing how ruthlessly Emperor Xiao Ping killed people, Su Wanti realized that he was two-faced.

Although Emperor Xiao Ping appears to be a kind, selfless and pure-hearted emperor, he is not like that in his heart.

He has profound internal strength and excellent martial arts skills, which can only be acquired through decades of hard training. It is impossible for a casual person to persist in hard training for decades.

Moreover, when facing the enemy, he would strike with his sword, draw blood, and kill with one blow. This kind of ruthlessness and efficiency is not something a kind person can do.

In fact, he is an ambitious and aspiring person, but the cruel living environment since childhood forced him to hide his true self. Over time, he thought that the gentleness, humility, tranquility and indifference he showed for the sake of survival were his true nature.

I hope this cat that looks like Dammi can guide him out of his childhood difficulties, defeat years of disguise, and face his true self.

Emperor Xiao Ping looked at the woman in front of him with a gloomy look in his eyes.

When she blocked the knife for herself yesterday, she was just like Da Mi in the past, weak but determined.

The moment she fell, he panicked, thinking history would repeat itself...

Fortunately, he saved her.

Yes, he saved her, he could save her.

Decades have passed, and he is no longer that helpless child. Now he has not only mastered powerful martial arts, but also become an emperor, possessing the supreme power in the world!

Now, he can protect the people he cherishes, display his talents, and do whatever he wants!

No longer have to worry about being envied or suppressed!

There seemed to be fire in Emperor Xiao Ping's eyes, and there was a thud in his heart, as if something had collapsed.

The kitten squinted its eyes and purred comfortably. Su Wanti touched its little head, looked at it, and then looked up at Emperor Xiao Ping.

Her eyes were sparkling with admiration, and she said softly, "Young Master, you have an extraordinary appearance and a transcendent temperament, and your Kung Fu is superb and invincible. From the moment you saved me, I thought that those unique and one-of-a-kind characters in operas should be like you."

Her cheeks were a little red, like peach blossoms in spring, and her eyes were full of admiration and respect.

The woman seemed to be shy, and quickly lowered her head and turned her head away. After a slight pause, she said, "Sir, you are powerful now, so you should do things that match your ability. You must not live up to your current ability and should not be bound by the past and tie your own hands and feet."

The woman's words were like a pool of warm spring water, flowing into Xiao Pingdi's just-broken heart.

He felt a strange feeling in his heart and looked at the woman with a burning gaze.

The woman turned her head to look at the ground, and the man looked at her. They both touched the cat without looking at it. After a while, their hands touched each other.

Su Wanti's cheeks flushed, as if she had touched a flame, and she quickly took her hand away. However, Emperor Xiao Ping did not dodge. Instead, he stretched out his big hand and immediately held the woman's dodging hand.

The white, tender and smooth hand was held in his big hand. He felt that this hand was like a cat's paw, tickling his heart.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

At this moment, she didn't know her own identity, and she looked at herself with admiration and respect.

He was also attracted by her gentleness and understanding.

In this mountain village, they are like the most ordinary men and women in the world, they like each other, are clean and pure, have no ambition for fame, and are not involved in any interests of the previous dynasty.

"Oh my! You two young couple have such a great relationship!" Mrs. Lin came back from working in the fields and saw the two of them shaking hands. She smiled and joked.

Su Wanti quickly pulled her hand out shyly.

At this time, the three brothers of the Lin family also came back from outside. They felt something was wrong as soon as they got home.

Emperor Xiao Ping frowned, he also realized something was wrong, there were suddenly a lot of strange people around.
