489: Of course not

Xiao Fan quickly took off the blood-colored glazed bracelet.

But it was too late.

Lilith had already seen everything.

He looked at Lilith again, his eyes somewhat cold, as if he wanted to kill her to silence her.

Lilith, however, was a little stunned and said, "You... why are you looking at me like that?"

"You want to kill me?"

"Just because I saw your Mental Energy Realm?"

In an instant, the grand palace suddenly fell silent.

Lilith's expression was a little unnatural.

Suddenly, Ting Qiao nodded and said, "Your Highness, since everything that needed to be said has been said, I shall take my leave."

After speaking, he turned and left, leaving Lilith alone in the empty palace.

At this moment, she felt a little sad, as if her heart had been pierced by a needle.

She trusted Ting Qiao so much.

She had given him all the good things she could give.

That Mental Energy detection bracelet was the latest research achievement of the Galaxy King Alliance, and there were only ten in the first batch.

Lilith herself only had one.

She even gave him that only one.

And then?

He released killing intent towards me.

Am I so untrustworthy?

Would I betray you?

I thought you were my fox... Lilith gave a self-deprecating smile.

These past few days, she also felt that she had been a little too good to Ting Qiao.

Then she asked her godfather.

King Her couldn't help but complain to her, "The Little Prince I kept telling you to read, did you not read a single word of it?"

The answer is in there.

Lilith awkwardly cut off the communication.

When she got that book as a child, she had always left it in her room and hadn't looked at it once to this day.

There was nothing she could do; she simply had no interest in books.

But if the content of this book was related to Ting Qiao and her relationship, then her motivation to read would immediately surge.

It's like someone telling you that if you finish a certain book, you can easily win the heart of the woman you love; even someone who dislikes reading will read more seriously than they would in class.

Lilith picked up the book she had ignored for many years.

The more she read, the more confused she became.

She always felt that every naive little story within it actually contained a deeper meaning.

Until she read further, she finally confirmed that those stories indeed hid profound mysteries.

She also realized the beauty of words for the first time, which captivated her.

Soon, she found the story related to Ting Qiao.

The story was titled 'Taming'.

She felt the word wasn't quite appropriate, but she rather liked it.

After reading this story, she finally understood some secrets.

There are many young powerhouses like Ting Qiao in this world.

But only he was special to her.

Because the two of them had spent many moments that belonged only to them.

These moments, filtered by memory, became exceptionally beautiful, like the starry sky she could see by looking up now.

Although not as dazzling as the sun, it still illuminated her loneliness.

Some things only we know, others cannot understand.

What a wonderful feeling that is.

She liked this feeling.

She wanted to do many secretive and exciting things with Ting Qiao, to create more memories that belonged only to them.

But she had never considered whether Ting Qiao was willing.

Before, she thought Ting Qiao's coldness was just his personality.

But today, the moment he released killing intent towards her, she finally saw the reality clearly.

He wasn't cold.

He just didn't like her.

Recalling those days they spent together more carefully.

Those repeated cold responses, that indifferent face, after the filter of memory faded, were so icy, making the idea that he simply didn't like her even more real.

In the vast, blood-red palace.

Lilith's elegant demeanor was gone; she sat hunched on the throne, hugging her knees with her head down, like a forlorn young girl.

Her downcast brows trembled slightly, and her once proud eyes became lost.

Her breathing grew heavier, because only by breathing forcefully could she feel a little better inside.

But her Bloodline was forever imprinted with no weakness or inferiority.

How could someone with a King's Bloodline do something like secretly shedding tears alone?

She gradually began to get angry!

When her anger reached its peak, she finally opened her communicator and typed a line of text in her chat with Ting Qiao.

"Please return my clothes to me!"

But before this line of text could be sent, the chat box suddenly flashed.

Ting Qiao's simple default System avatar suddenly appeared on the screen, accompanied by a long line of text.

"Your Highness, I was a little disrespectful to you in the palace just now. Please understand, because I have always lived this way since I was a child; once a secret is discovered, danger will follow. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just how I've always been. Thank you for your trust these past few days. Now, I am confident that I can move freely in the Ghost Forest, so I want to walk the rest of the Dao myself. Next, I will have someone return the Little Blood Divine Robe and that bracelet to you."

Looking at this line of text, Lilith's emotions were a mix of feelings, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

But suddenly, she had a change of heart... Ting Qiao's words were very clear; he was leaving because he was worried that his excessive Mental Energy would attract enemies.

Although he said he didn't distrust her.

But this behavior was the greatest distrust.

However, combined with his life experiences since childhood, Lilith could understand.

Although she was a little disappointed.

But she replied, "Alright, then I won't supervise you anymore. You can keep the Little Blood Divine Robe and the Mental Energy detection bracelet. Don't worry, I will still tell the Demon Clan that you are my person. If there is any danger, you can contact me immediately, and I will come."

"The Mental Energy detection bracelet is very useful. It can show you how far you are from the next Realm, and it can also detect the Mental Energy Realm of others, as long as you touch them."

After sending it, she still stared at the screen, her brows furrowed.

But after waiting for an unknown amount of time, there was still no reply from the other end of the screen... "Brother, although we are enemies with the Blood Race, Lilith is really good. Are you really not going to reconsider?"

In the dark forest, Swordsman Zou couldn't help but keep chattering in Xiao Fan's ear.

Even across the screen, he could feel how upset Lilith was.

Until this elder brother beside him suddenly said something.

"What if I told you that I already have three at home?"

Ri Tian Nian: "!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ"

Swordsman Zou: "(⊙_⊙)?"

A moment later.

"Anyway, there are already three, one more won't hurt." Swordsman Zou was still unwilling.

Xiao Fan gave him a disdainful look.

But suddenly, Ri Tian Nian, who was beside him, asked curiously, "But what if Lilith marries someone else in the future?"

"Will Brother be sad?"

Xiao Fan turned his head, his brows slightly furrowed, and shook his head quickly, saying, "Of course not."
