305: You treated me like that!

Just as Lin Ye was Cultivating, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes; he sensed a familiar aura.

Why did she come here?

The next moment, the door was knocked.

Bang, bang, bang...

"Young Master Lin, are you there?"

The guard asked cautiously. Regardless of whether Lin Ye was the Princess's Dao Companion, the strength he had displayed was enough to command respect.

Not to mention what happened on the Lingxu Battlefield, just the fact that after arriving in Martial Dao City, Lin Ye had actually killed Yuwen Zhong with a single strike was enough.

Nowadays, in the Immortal Dynasty, the tales of Lin Ye were already spreading like wildfire.

Who would dare not to show respect?

"Come in."

Hearing Lin Ye's indifferent voice, the guard breathed a sigh of relief. He knew of Lin Ye's ruthless methods; if he got angry because of his late-night disturbance, wouldn't his life be in danger?

Creak...

The door was pushed open. The guard stood at the entrance, smiling obsequiously, and said, "Young Master Lin, this Fairy Ling says she wants to see you. I don't know what your wishes are..."

"Let her in."

"Yes, then I shall take my leave."

The guard bowed to Lin Ye before turning and leaving. He was incredibly impressed by Lin Ye; he was actually seeing another woman in the Princess's residence!

A real man should be like this!

After the guard left, Ling Ruoqing remained standing at the door, with no intention of entering. She bit her lower lip tightly. The reason she wasn't going in wasn't because of any shyness or reserve.

It was because she truly didn't know how to speak up.

Just when Ling Ruoqing was still struggling, Lin Ye said indifferently, "Either come in, or go back."

Hearing Lin Ye's words, a trace of grievance arose in Ling Ruoqing's heart. Her most precious thing had already been taken by Lin Ye, so why was he still treating her with this attitude?

Clearly, back on the Lingxu Battlefield, she hadn't acted like a saint. Even when Lin Ye was attacking Lin Yueer, it was she who had handed the sword to Lin Ye.

She had been so obedient, yet he was still so overbearing?

Ling Ruoqing even wanted to turn and leave, but after missing him so much for so many days, and having reached his door now, wouldn't leaving be irresponsible to herself?

Thinking of this, Ling Ruoqing took a deep breath and entered the room.

At this moment, Lin Ye stood up, sat on a chair, and sized up the incoming Ling Ruoqing.

Just like before, the most eye-catching thing about Ling Ruoqing was her long legs—plump and slender—which were simply irresistible.

Her beauty was also even better than before. After all, she had been somewhat green previously, like a fruit that hadn't fully ripened, but under Lin Ye's cultivation, Ling Ruoqing's temperament had become increasingly charming.

Between her brows, there was a hint of mature charm, and the ice crystal on her forehead was even more dazzling.

Seeing that ice-crystal-like mark, images flashed through Lin Ye's mind.

It seemed that the Spirit Race he had seen before on the Lingxu Battlefield also had such a mark between their brows.

Could it be that Ling Ruoqing was of the Spirit Race?

Thinking about it, it was quite reasonable. After all, Ling Ruoqing had the destiny of a Daughter of Heaven; for such a person to have a top-tier background, wasn't that the most normal thing?

Ling Ruoqing entered the room and sat down beside Lin Ye. Several times she wanted to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

Time passed minute by minute. Lin Ye seemed to have become a bit impatient, asking Ling Ruoqing, "What is the matter with you coming to find me here?"

"..."

Ling Ruoqing could, of course, feel the impatience in Lin Ye's tone.

She became even more aggrieved, and even her beautiful eyes began to moisten and turn red.

What is the meaning of this?

Lin Ye was speechless. You came to find me just to stare at me and cry?

"I'm not dead yet."

Hearing Lin Ye's impatient tone, Ling Ruoqing could no longer hold back. Two trails of crystal-clear tears flowed down her pretty face.

"You, can't you speak to me properly?"

"Huh?" Lin Ye looked confused. "Speak properly? Am I not speaking properly? I asked why you came here to find me, and you just stared at me without speaking, shedding tears. No, Miss Ling, we aren't that close, even if we were really familiar."

"If I died, you wouldn't need to mourn for me, let alone the fact that I'm not even dead yet."

"You say you aren't close to me?!"

Lin Ye had said a whole string of words, but Ling Ruoqing only remembered this one sentence.

The two of them weren't that close.

Ling Ruoqing suddenly stood up, her pretty face filled with anger.

"Isn't that so?"

Hearing this, Ling Ruoqing could no longer hold back and shouted, "You say we aren't that close. Let me ask you, how do you account for what happened in the cave that day? You… you did that to me, and now you're turning around and saying we aren't that close?!"

"Isn't that matter your fault? I went to that cave by myself, and not only did you follow me in, but you also moved things around, triggering the mechanism inside."

Lin Ye helplessly spread his hands. "Now you're turning around and saying I did this or that to you. Tell me, Miss Ling, can you be reasonable?"

"You bull... You're talking nonsense!!!"

Ling Ruoqing was so angry her face turned red. She pointed a delicate, jade-white finger at Lin Ye, her slender body trembling slightly.

"How am I talking nonsense?"

Lin Ye didn't care about Ling Ruoqing's anger at all and continued, "Besides, didn't you tell me before to forget about this matter? I have already forgotten it. What's wrong, Miss Ling, have you still not forgotten?"

"..."

Ling Ruoqing's teeth tightly clamped onto her lower lip, so hard it even began to bleed.

Facing Lin Ye's words, she simply didn't know how to refute them.

It was indeed she who had asked Lin Ye to forget about the previous matter, and now, it was she who was shamelessly bringing it up again.

So how could she blame Lin Ye? It was all her own problem.

Thinking of this, Ling Ruoqing's face turned pale, and her body swayed twice, as if she couldn't stand steadily.

A moment later, Ling Ruoqing gave a miserable smile and said to Lin Ye, "Yes, it's all my problem. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come today."

Having said that, Ling Ruoqing turned and intended to leave.

She no longer knew what was going on in her mind; she just wanted to leave this place quickly.

Even if she were to find a place to end her life after leaving, it would be better than the current situation.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Ling Ruoqing was about to leave, Lin Ye spoke.

Hearing this, Ling Ruoqing turned her head and said to Lin Ye, "How much more do you want to humiliate me? I already know I was wrong. I really shouldn't have come to find you today, you... Mph!!!"

Ling Ruoqing's eyes widened.

She didn't know when, but Lin Ye had already arrived in front of her.

One hand wrapped around her waist, and with his mouth, he blocked Ling Ruoqing's lips.
