The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Cang Jue stared blankly at the prince.

"Have an artist paint a new version of the princess's masterpiece!"

"Your Highness! You still look down on me!" Xia Tongsheng was a little annoyed that her masterpiece, which she had put so much effort into, was being treated like this.

Which original artist would be willing to do that!

Min Youan lowered her eyes, not out of disdain, but simply because she stubbornly didn't want her "unique paintings" to be seen by more people.

He attributed this unique possessiveness to the fact that he didn't want outsiders to see the princess's paintings, and thus concluded that the princess was not good at painting.

The reason Min Youan couldn't think of these methods wasn't because he wasn't smart, but because people in ancient times didn't have complete geographical knowledge. Xia Tongsheng, on the other hand, was a perfect liberal arts student in her previous life, and her geographical knowledge was excellent!

She was an absolute master of latitude and longitude lines, topographic maps, wind belts, and ocean currents. Even her geography teacher regretted that Xia Tongsheng was studying humanities, believing it was a real shame that her strong logical thinking wasn't being used in the sciences!

However, Xia Tongsheng felt that her logical thinking ability was only excellent among liberal arts students, and just average among science students.

Min Youan poured himself a cup of tea, took an elegant sip, and despite the mess around him, his demeanor remained impeccable.

He looked up at Xia Tongsheng with a cold gaze, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere!"

"Hmm?" Xia Tongsheng wondered what had gotten into this prince. Why was he suddenly inviting her? She asked curiously, "Where?"

"You'll find out when you get there!" Min Youan remained indifferent.

Since he was unwilling to talk about it, she didn't ask anymore, at least she could maintain some mystery.

Min Youan brought her to the Wei River. Xia Tongsheng didn't understand why he brought her here, but she noticed that he looked unwell because he had been working tirelessly.

His pale complexion was frightening, so much so that Xia Tongsheng didn't dare to ask. She just followed him cautiously, not wanting to provoke him under these circumstances.

Min Youan wrapped his right arm around her waist, gathered his strength, and leaped up, his toes lightly touching the surface of the Wei River.

Upon experiencing this feeling of being airborne, Xia Tongsheng's first thought was that ancient light-body skills could indeed allow one to fly without the aid of wires.

Another reaction was, "Damn, that really hurts!"

Because of gravity, the place where Min Youan was holding her was very painful. Xia Tongsheng felt that she was really not heavy, but it really hurt.

But you have to endure the pain.

Min Youan turned his head and saw her slightly contorted face. "Does it hurt?"

Xia Tongsheng forced a smile, "It doesn't hurt!"

Min Youan couldn't stand her stubbornness, so he deliberately tightened his grip on her waist, trying to make her scream.

However, this brought the two of them closer, and Min Yoo-an could even feel the softness of her chest.

Xia Tongsheng looked up, "Your Highness, it hurts!"

Unexpectedly, the tip of her nose brushed against his lips. She froze, her face flushed almost imperceptibly, and she didn't care about crying out in pain. She just lowered her head and remained silent.

She was afraid that if he got upset, he would throw her into the water to feed the fish. Fortunately, Min Youan didn't do that.

After crossing the river, Min Youan put her on the ground and started to walk forward.

"Your Highness, wait for me!"

Min Youan felt embarrassed, but more than that, he was angry, after what had just happened.

But since the kiss was unintentional, he couldn't unreasonably blame her.

So now his attitude towards Xia Tongsheng has completely changed. Ignoring Xia Tongsheng's calls from behind, he strode forward on his own.

Xia Tongsheng could only jog along, trying her best to keep up with him. After all, she was in an unfamiliar place, and more importantly, apart from following Min Youan, she had no way to cross the river. Now that there was a flood, there was no one to ferry her across.

"Ah!" Xia Tongsheng slipped and fell...

When Min Youan turned around without hearing a sound, Xia Tongsheng was already gone. He suppressed his anger and turned back to look for her. This place was such a large forest; it would be dangerous if she got lost.

"Xia Tongsheng!" he called her name, but no one answered him.

At this moment, Xia Tongsheng was sitting on the ground, hugging her right foot.

Min Youan disappeared, and he was in the dense forest. What's more, there was a green snake watching him intently not far away. At this moment, a sense of helplessness arose spontaneously.

He retraced his steps and saw her squatting on the ground. "Xia Tongsheng, come here quickly!"

She ignored him, staring at a certain spot without moving, as if possessed.

Min Youan approached and squatted down in front of her. Xia Tongsheng then hugged him tightly and cried out, "There's a snake!"

He immediately looked in the direction she had been staring at, and saw a green snake as thick as a wrist staring at him. He thought, "So she's scared."

He shook his head with amusement, picked up a pebble, and swatted the snake away.

"Don't you know how to run?"

"I'm scared, I don't dare to move!" Xia Tongsheng was still lying in his arms, her body trembling.

His voice remained cool, but there was a hint of worry in it. "Don't you know how to call me?"

She said somewhat petulantly, her tone full of complaint, "I called you the whole way, but you ignored me!"

Min Youan looked at her, then noticed her right foot. He said nothing more, but simply picked her up and started walking forward.

Xia Tongsheng kept her head buried in Min Youan's arms, not daring to peek out, as if the green snake would suddenly dart in front of her if she peeked out.

"Afraid of snakes?"

"Ok!"

Min Youan mocked her, "Didn't you say you were fearless?"

"But snakes aren't heaven or earth, I'm scared!" Xia Tongsheng argued.

He snorted coldly, "Now you're starting to nitpick with me, huh? Looks like you're getting better! Get down and walk yourself!"

Even he himself didn't realize that he was referring to himself as "I" instead of "this king".

Xia Tongsheng hurriedly grabbed Min Youan's clothes, "No, Your Highness!"

Min Youan rarely saw her so petite and dependent, and besides, she wasn't heavy, so he just carried her.

Upon arriving at their destination, Min Youan looked at Xia Tongsheng, who was still burying her head in his arms like an ostrich, and shook her gently. "Get down! We're here!"

"do not want!"

Min Youan couldn't help but laugh at her shamelessness. He leaned close to her ear and coaxed her softly, "Look up!"

Xia Tongsheng slowly peeked out from his embrace, but still didn't dare to look outside. She just looked at his face and said, "You're not lying to me, are you?"

He shook his head.

Xia Tongsheng turned her head, seemingly in disbelief, and was stunned by the sight before her. "My God, it's so beautiful!"

As she spoke, she jumped down from Min Youan's arms and looked at the turquoise lake in front of her, which was indescribably beautiful.

Looking up, I saw Xia Tongsheng jumping around on the ground, asking, "Is your foot alright?"

"My foot is fine!" Xia Tongsheng didn't understand why he asked that.

Min Youan was furious. He never expected that he would carry a normal woman for so long!

"If there's nothing wrong, why did you let me hold you for so long!" His tone was filled with anger.

Xia Tongsheng blushed, "You were the one who wanted to hug me, I didn't ask you to!"

"Xia Tongsheng!" he shouted her name sharply!
