The cold emperor reigns supreme, the arrogant empress begs for a truce.

Chapter 42: Clearly Something Different From You

"Believe it or not, if I really wanted to leave, I could leave and go somewhere you'd never find me," Leng Yuling said casually, but Mo Zhen took it to heart.

He frowned, looked at Leng Yuling with a cold face, and asked in return, "You really don't want to stay by my side?"

"What I want is a love that lasts a lifetime, a love between one person and one person, which you can't give me." Seeing Mo Zhen's serious expression, Leng Yuling also became serious for once. "But you can give me at least some respect."

At least as his concubine, Mo Zhen never forced her to do anything she didn't want to do. Even when they slept in the same bed every night, he would never do anything out of line to her without her consent.

Mo Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly. It wasn't that he didn't want to touch her, but seeing her rejecting face, what could he do besides respect her?

However, he really didn't need to explain these things to Leng Yuling.

"How do you know that Jun Ao or other men won't respect you?" Mo Zhen was satisfied with Leng Yuling's words, but still asked.

“If a man respects a woman, he won’t treat her like a joke, and he certainly won’t break off the engagement before the wedding, making her a laughing stock across the country or even the whole continent.”

Leng Yuling was talking about her own affairs, but she spoke as if she were talking about someone else's. What Mo Zhen didn't know was that she had transmigrated after Jun Ao announced the annulment of the engagement.

Therefore, she never felt that she was the one who was rejected by Jun Ao. It was as if, if Jun Ao hadn't rejected the engagement, she felt that the original owner wouldn't have been so stimulated, and that's why she let him into her body.

Time travel is truly a wondrous thing, and besides this explanation, she didn't know what else to say.

“That’s because Jun Ao is blind,” Mo Zhen said.

Leng Yuling curled her lips into a smile and said, "I know, after all, I'm so good."

She didn't think she was good-looking; rather, she thought she was good-looking, and being the last disciple of the Medical Sage, and also the Medical Sage's only disciple.

With such looks, such status, and such abilities, what's wrong with that?

But... she was indeed curious about Jun Ao's reason for breaking off the engagement.

Leng Yuling touched her chin and muttered, "Is Jun Ao an idiot? Such an outstanding person, and he just throws him away like that."

Although her voice wasn't loud, it was still heard by the sharp-eared Mo Zhen. He wasn't surprised, though, because in his understanding, Leng Yuling could indeed say such things.

He had never seen anyone as shameless and narcissistic as Leng Yuling. Strangely, Mo Zhen was not disgusted by her.

“Sometimes I really want to see what’s going on in your head, why you’re always so different from other people,” Mo Zhen said curiously.

Leng Yuling subconsciously touched her head, then said quite naturally, "It's obviously something different from yours."

One is filled with things from ancient times, while the other is filled with things from ancient times plus things from the 21st century. Clearly, these are different minds.

However, Mo Zhen's face darkened instantly after hearing Leng Yuling's words. Although he was used to Leng Yuling's strange remarks, he still felt uncomfortable after hearing them.

"Let me tell you something." Before Mo Zhen could speak, Leng Yuling spoke first, saying earnestly, "My master's coming to the Southern Chu Kingdom is beneficial to you."

"Oh?" Mo Zhen raised an eyebrow and asked, "What benefits?"

"After meeting my master, perhaps I will obediently become your empress in your harem," Leng Yuling said with a smile.

Seeing Leng Yuling's smile, Mo Zhen actually smiled slightly as well; her smile was very infectious to him.
