The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

The night wind suddenly arose, the firelight swayed gently, a figure sat beside the fire, and seven or eight others were sleeping peacefully around him, meeting Zhou Gong in his dream.

Mo Lintian stayed beside Yun Ruopiao and Su Qingyu, and looked up at the inner area from time to time.

Seeing that more than two hours had passed and Su Qingning had not returned yet, Mo Lintian couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Why hasn't he come back yet? Has something happened to him?" Mo Lintian frowned, full of anxiety.

At this moment, a figure rushed out from the woods behind him, followed by the man's slightly dissatisfied voice.

"Lintian, why are you here? Do you know how anxious I was when I woke up and didn't see you?" Qi Runyu walked to Mo Lintian angrily, glared at him and started scolding him.

Qi Runyu

Half an hour ago, Qi Runyu woke from his sleep. He saw that he was alone in the cave and felt a little confused for a moment. However, he was not too worried. He thought Mo Lintian was unable to sleep and went outside the cave to enjoy the moon.

However, when Qi Runyu searched outside the cave and couldn't find Mo Lintian, he began to panic.

Although he knew that with Mo Lintian's cultivation level, he wouldn't be in danger in the inner circle of the vast mountains, but he was still worried about the worst. What if Mo Lintian suddenly went to the inner circle? What if a divine beast or a super divine beast suddenly appeared in the inner circle?

When he thought of this possibility, Qi Runyu became anxious and worried; whether because of the friendship between the two since childhood or for the sake of the Qi family, Qi Runyu would never let Mo Lintian get into danger.

Fortunately, neither of the two situations that Qi Runyu guessed happened. He searched for half an hour and finally found Mo Lintian at the edge of the vast mountains.

Seeing that Mo Lintian was intact, Qi Runyu breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Mo Lintian on the shoulder and said with a sense of relief: "Brother, it's great to see that you are okay."

"What can happen to me?" Mo Lintian angrily slapped Qi Runyu's hand away, then patted the non-existent dust on his shoulder.

Seeing Mo Lintian's actions, Qi Runyu twitched his mouth speechlessly. He took a deep breath and said to himself: Don't be angry, don't be angry. If you get angry, no one will replace you.

After adjusting his mood, Qi Runyu pointed at the Su family members sleeping around him and asked curiously: "Lintian, what's going on? Won't you explain it?"

"I don't know." Mo Lintian was too lazy to explain. He was always thinking about Su Qingning. Seeing that she hadn't come back yet, he was really worried and planned to go out and look for her.

"Ayu, I'm leaving these people to you. Please take care of them." Mo Lintian said, then stood up and walked in the direction where Su Qingning left.

"Hey, where are you going again?" Qi Runyu asked Mo Lintian's back, feeling helpless. He had just found the person, and this person was leaving again, and asked him to protect these irrelevant people. He was really impressed.

"Find someone."

Mo Lintian replied with two words, and then his figure disappeared, leaving Qi Runyu standing there with a puzzled look on his face.

"Looking for someone?" Qi Runyu was confused. "Could there be any friends of Lin Tian's in this vast mountain range?"

Qi Runyu's doubts remained unanswered for the time being. He glanced at the Su family members sleeping on the ground. Seeing that they did not wake up even though he had just spoken so loudly, he knew that they had been drugged.

"Damn, could it be that Lin Tian drugged them?" Qi Runyu couldn't help but wonder, but then he denied this guess, "No, no, no, it's impossible. How could Lin Tian drug them for no reason? What's his intention?"

Unable to figure it out, Qi Runyu simply stopped thinking about it. He resigned himself to his fate and sat down by the fire, guarding Yun Ruopiao and the others.

On the other side, Mo Lintian was rushing towards the inner circle quickly, but before he reached the inner circle, he saw a snow wolf running towards him at a very fast speed. On the back of the snow wolf was a little girl who was about eight or nine years old.

This little girl is Su Qingning. In fact, she is already ten years old. However, her family’s living conditions have not been good in the past four years. Because of malnutrition, she looks like she is only eight or nine years old.

Seeing Mo Lintian, Su Qingning asked Xiaobai to stop. She sat on Xiaobai's back, looking at the handsome boy in the moonlight, and her brows couldn't help but frowned.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Noticing that Su Qingning seemed a little unhappy, Mo Lintian quickly explained: "Don't worry, your mother and brother are safe now. Someone is protecting them. I saw that you had been away for a long time and didn't come back. I was a little worried, so I came out to look for you."

Knowing that she had misunderstood Mo Lintian, Su Qingning suddenly felt a little guilty. She was not a pretentious person. Since she was wrong, she would apologize.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you."

Su Qingning jumped off Xiaobai's back. She bent down and apologized to Mo Lintian seriously, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Uh... that's not necessary." Mo Lintian reached out and helped Su Qingning up. "I don't blame you. I know you are worried about the safety of your mother and brother. I understand."

The easier Mo Lintian tried to talk to her, the more guilty Su Qingning felt. The other party had no obligation to help her protect her family. She forced him to help. Even if Mo Lintian left, she had no right to blame him.

The more Su Qingning thought about it, the more she felt that her behavior of showing displeasure to Mo Lintian just now was too much. She shouldn't think that just because Mo Lintian helped her in the previous life, it was natural for him to help her in this life as well.

"I'm sorry, and thank you." Su Qingning saluted Mo Lintian seriously again, "Your Highness, thank you for helping me protect my mother and brother."

"Alright, stop bowing to me." Mo Lintian helped Su Qingning up again, a helpless smile on his face. "It's just a small matter. I don't care about it. Don't take it to heart."

Unexpectedly, Su Qingning shook her head firmly, "Your Highness Prince Lin, I will remember your kindness in my heart and will repay you in the future."

Seeing Su Qingning being so stubborn, Mo Lintian felt helpless and at the same time found it funny. He just helped Su Qingning look after her mother and brother for a while. How could this be considered a favor?

But how could Mo Lintian know that the favor Su Qingning was talking about was not the favor he helped her today, but the fact that in her previous life, he extended a helping hand to her when she was most helpless, allowing her and her brother Su Qingyu to get through a difficult time.

"Okay, we can talk about repaying a favor later. Now we should go back." Mo Lintian reached out and took Su Qingning's hand, pulling her forward. "If you don't go back soon, it will be dawn and your mother and brother will wake up."

Su Qingning was stunned when her hand was suddenly held. Perhaps she thought of the young man who saved her like light in her previous life. She did not struggle, but let Mo Lintian hold her hand.

Mo Lintian held the soft little hand, his heart filled with tenderness. He suddenly had the urge to protect the little girl beside him for the rest of his life.

Xiaobai followed behind, tilting his head and looking at the two people holding hands in front in confusion, not understanding when their relationship became so good. He shook his head in confusion, then turned back into a mimic little fox and jumped onto Su Qingning's shoulder and lay down, completely unaware that he seemed to be a little bright at the moment.
