He was as handsome as an immortal—devastatingly stunning.
But it gave off an unrealistic feeling as if he was someone that she could never touch.
“Young Master…” Qingjiu sat down at the head of his bed, quietly staring at him. She sighed. “My father wants to choose a husband for me. I know he is serious this time…”
There was no answer except silence.
She sighed again. “I hope you will wake up soon so that Father would have no more to say about this.”
The man in the bed showed no signs of waking up.
He looked calm and composed.
Qingjiu reached out, trying to hold the man’s palm. But the thought of the burning heat had made her hand stiffened.
She knew that touching him would put her in pain, but she insisted on doing so.
“Young Master, my father has always been kind to me. Besides, I’m not a snob, so I will accept you as who you are. As long as you can wake up, Father won’t force me to marry another person. My happiness depends on you now. Please wake up as soon as possible, okay?”
This man was so handsome like an immortal.
He seemed like a good-tempered man, who was as gentle as water.
To her, it was such a treat to gaze at his stunning face.
Time seemed to have stopped.
The sunlight was shining through the window and filtering down onto her innocent face.
The young girl was even more beautiful when she smiled.
She had the beauty of a virgin with a face like a peach blossom.
As usual, she would put her hand to one side of her cheek and stare at the man on the bed silently.

In the meantime, a huge sea turtle had reached the edge of the island.
There was also a group of spirit beasts following the turtles.
Feng Ruqing held the azure snake’s tail and moved down from the turtle’s body. She gazed coldly at the small country that stood not far away and asked with a calm face, “Xiao Qing, are you sure this is the place?”
Qing Zhu nodded as its eyes were teary. “I don’t know who has picked my master up. I was going to follow them, but those people were too fast. I believe that those people must be from this Haitian Kingdom because I heard that Haitian Kingdom doesn’t have any contact with other kingdoms.””Hmm…” Feng Ruqing turned to the beasts behind her with her hand under her chin and said, “All of you go find a place to hide and wait for me. I’ll make a discreet inquiry about the situation of the state master first, then I’ll inform you.”
Her goal was too obvious as she had brought so many spirit beasts into the city. It was inconvenient to look for Nan Xian if she brought all of them along with her.
Qing Zhu grimaced. “Princess, can I stay with them and wait for you here?”
A cold gaze pierced into its eyes, causing Qing Zhu to shut its mouth immediately.
A smile played at the corners of Feng Ruqing’s lips. “What do you think?”
Qing Zhu’s entire body stiffened. It forced a smile as it looked up at Feng Ruqing. “Actually, I’m not planning to stay because I’m afraid of Princess. I just want to be parted from you to search for my master.”
“Oh, that won’t be necessary. You’re not very helpful, but you can at least seduce the female snakes and gain some information from them.”
Qing Zhu was speechless.
Did it have an alternative so that it could leave?
Feng Ruqing held the snake tail and walked toward the city gate of Haitian Kingdom instead, ignoring the sorrow in Qing Zhu’s eyes.
Two guards were guarding at the city gate. Once they saw that Feng Ruqing was coming to them, they quickly extended their long swords and blocked her way.
“Stop! Who are you?”
Feng Ruqing stopped walking. Her eyes narrowed and there was a flash of light in her eyes. “I’m from Tianyue Kingdom. My emperor has asked me to come here and meet the emperor of Haitian Kingdom.”
