A sweet story about traveling into the world of beasts, killing the heroine and becoming the next in

Lan Ning felt that this made sense, "Then take it."

[You have been accepted for side quests 1 and 2. To avoid too many repeated quests, you can only accept up to five side quests at a time.]

Lan Ning re-selected three side quests that could be completed in the near future from the pile of side quests. After a simple sorting, he naturally nestled in Xuan Heng's arms to rest.

After coming out of the palace, her mood was not very high. Xuan Heng knew that she was probably feeling very uncomfortable. However, her behavior in Fengluan Palace was quite surprising.

If you think about it carefully, how could someone who could escape from Furou alive be an idiot who knows nothing?

Xuan Heng felt that everyone, including him, underestimated Lan Ning.

"Are you sad?" Xuan Heng stared at the cat ears that felt so good to his hands. He couldn't help but stretch out his hands to rub them. The person in his arms raised his jewel eyes and looked at him. That face was still unsightly to Xuan Heng, but he felt strangely that it was beautiful.

Lan Ning shook his head. "I didn't expect much."

She has a very clear understanding of her own existence. As things stand, the majority of people want her to die. How could anyone still want her to live?

Seeing her frankness, Xuan Heng found it hard to blame her. After experiencing such a life, it was good enough that she didn't go crazy. Lan Ning was frank and cruel, but also obedient and soft-hearted. It depended on who she was facing. Xuan Heng felt that he should be classified as the latter.

But judging from the looks of those people today, he needs to make plans for some things early.

"With the support of those noble lords, you will face many people in the future." Xuan Heng gently rubbed the tips of the cat's ears with his fingers. An imperceptible calculation flashed in his golden eyes. His cold face had a few more smiles recently. Different from the perfunctory attitude towards subordinates and courtiers, his unique gentleness and concentration were very intoxicating to watch.

Even Lan Ning, who had been with him for many days, couldn't help but be tempted by his beauty.

Xuan Heng seemed not to realize how much of an impact his appearance had on Lan Ning. He smiled more charmingly, holding Lan Ning in his arms, leaning close to the pair of furry cat ears and whispering, "Why aren't you talking?"

The low, mellow and pleasant voice made Lan Ning shudder. She lowered her head in panic, and pink spread from her neck to the tips of her ears. She didn't know what to say, and just kept her head down like a coward. Xuan Heng couldn't get enough of her shy and innocent look.

"I... I don't know what to say..." Lan Ning lowered her head, her heart pounding in her chest. In front of Xuan Heng, she was a docile and gentle little white flower. For so many days, the two of them had been abiding by their duties. Apart from rubbing her ears frequently, the other party had never done anything intimate. Why did he suddenly start attacking her?

Could it be that Xuan Heng discovered her true identity and wanted to provoke her?

"You can say whatever you want in front of me." Xuan Heng was very generous in this regard. He was glad that Lan Ning had not yet become enlightened and had little contact with the opposite sex, which gave him more time to teach her how to be loyal and stay by his side forever.

Lan Ning had a thousand thoughts in her mind, but she finally chose to obey. She looked up and blinked, "You saved my life and helped me get revenge, but I... I have nothing to repay you with."

Her purpose was pure, and her thoughts were pure, which made Xuan Heng smile even more. "Want to repay me?"

Lan Ning nodded. "Yes! My sisters said, a drop of kindness is repaid with a spring of water!"

Xuan Heng said meaningfully: "Then stay by my side and accompany me forever."

[Xuan Heng's favorability +2, total favorability: 40. ]

Lan Ning didn't need to worry about the affairs in the palace. She still lived openly in the Regent's Palace, but more people came to see her every day.

"I...I left Zhoulan City in a hurry and only brought these. They are all things that the children in Zhoulan City like." After leaving the court, Bian Zhao hurried to the Regent's Palace with gifts to please his daughter. They were all specialties he brought from Zhoulan City.

Cat dolls, mechanical mice, woven grass balls...all in pink.

Lan Ning: “…” This cheap daddy treats her like a child.

In fact, Bian Zhao was so nervous that he was about to cry. He didn't know what the child liked, so he bought the most common things before going out. Now he put them in front of Lan Ning one by one, fearing that she would not like them.

"Thank you, father." Lan Ning saw tears in his eyes and hurriedly thanked him, asking the puppet maid to put away all the things.

Bian Zhao was now smiling happily. After delivering the gift, he began to ask the usual questions, "How is your life in the Prince Regent's Palace? Has the Prince Regent made things difficult for you? If you have suffered any grievances, you can tell your father and he will seek justice for you."

Lan Ning had to answer these questions every day. "The prince is very good to me. I am used to living here. No one in the palace will embarrass me."

What she said was the truth. The eunuchs in Xuan Heng's territory were very understanding and knew that she was of noble status and that Xuan Heng valued her. They would do whatever she asked for. Xuan Heng had even deliberately indulged her during this period of time, and had subtly spoiled her into becoming the number one mistress in the Regent's Palace.

But as a father, Bian Zhao always thinks too much.

As a man, Bian Zhao could naturally guess what Xuan Heng was thinking, but seeing how much Lan Ning trusted Xuan Heng, he did not dare to reveal Xuan Heng's true face in front of Lan Ning, for fear of destroying the father-daughter relationship that had been reconciled with great difficulty.

"As long as you live well, your father will be relieved." Bian Zhao said dryly. His sapphire eyes swept across the calligraphy on the table. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. "Right Minister Xuan Mo's calligraphy is the best in Wanjing. Do you want your father to ask him to teach you?"

Xuan Heng, who happened to be standing at the door, raised his eyebrows, his gaze fell on Bian Zhao, and the light in his eyes was unpredictable.

Lan Ning had noticed him standing at the door a long time ago. She actually wanted to agree to Bian Zhao's proposal. After all, Xuan Mo was also one of her targets. Unfortunately, the person at the door was a jealous person, and there was no guarantee of his current favorability. She really didn't dare to take the risk.

"Your Majesty's handwriting is also very beautiful!" Lan Ning praised with a smile, "I have been practicing calligraphy for so long, and it was all taught by Your Majesty."

This sentence calmed Xuan Heng's dissatisfaction a little. He stepped into the room and said lazily, "In recent days, other countries have sent many visiting cards requesting to attend the court. There are so many things to do in the court. It would be better for you to go back as soon as possible to help His Majesty deal with the affairs of the court."

Hearing this voice, Bian Zhao sat up straight instantly, and his handsome face couldn't help but twist when he mentioned this matter.

Before they came back, Xuan Heng was in charge of everything in the court and the country. After they came back, Xuan Heng became a hands-off boss. Not only was he late for court and left early, he also pestered his precious daughter all day long!

"Just some trivial matters. They won't take too much time." Bian Zhao's voice turned cold, but he still paid attention to Lan Ning's expression.

Xuan Heng walked over to Lan Ning and sat down, taking a look at the calligraphy that Lan Ning had practiced today. She had worked hard for many days, and what she wrote finally looked like words.

"I haven't practiced today's calligraphy yet." Lan Ning put away the scribbles embarrassedly.

Xuan Heng didn't care. He put the inkstone and calligraphy in place and stood behind Lan Ning, ready to teach her stroke by stroke. Suddenly, he looked up at Bian Zhao and said, "It's almost time for lunch. Why don't you stay and have a quick meal?"
