The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 7. What Makes You Love Me?

"Your face is very similar to that of the late Xiao Wangfei, but not to your heart." Xiao Jiwang was still staring straight at the waterfall, his right hand started to casually move taking the food bowl.

"My heart? What's wrong with my heart?" xiao Mingyui asked, the woman raised her left eyebrow at a glance. Feeling interested in this topic, Xiao Mingyui now completely sat down quietly and stared fixedly at Xiao Jiwang.

"Just ask yourself," Xiao Jiwang replied indifferently, then chewed his food quietly.

Xiao Mingyui frowned in annoyance, then turned to pour water into Xiao Jiwang's drinking cup.

Xiao Jiwang glanced at Xiao Mingyui silently, then looked back at the waterfall and said, "After today don't ever dare to appear before me again."

Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly, she was not offended at all. "Why not, your majesty? What makes your majesty hate me so much? We don't have any personal problems, do we? Or is your majesty just nervous because the first time a woman approaches?"

Xiao Jiwang who heard this immediately put his chopsticks on top of the bowl and turned his head in annoyance towards Xiao Mingyui. "The ones who approached me a lot, yet they all ended up headless. Do you want to have the same fate? I don't mind granting it."

Xiao Mingyui was still staring fixedly at Xiao Jiwang, the woman was not daunted by the men's threat at all. Calmly, Xiao Mingyui handed the drinking cup he had already filled with water to the man. "I'm so surprised by your story, it makes me even more sure."

"Related in what?" xiao Jiwang asked while receiving the drinking cup was rude and nipped it quickly.

"Love the noble. The coldness that shackles you is more and more clearly visible in my eyes, making me want to be a warmer that melts the cold in your heart," Xiao Mingyui replied, he was just imitating Bingbing's previous sentence.

Xiao Jiwang frowned in annoyance, the look on his face looked completely disgusted. "What kind of woman are you? You express everything in great detail, as if you have no shame."

Xiao Mingyui shook his head slowly. "I don't understand either, probably because of the circumstances. First, I need to save my family. Second, by chance I might fall in love with your majesty. In retrospect, if I wanted to help my family, I could have chosen another man without disturbing the glorious serenity. But, it seems like my eyes have really been lured to your figure?"

Although all the sentences he uttered were not entirely honest, but in the beginning at least contained real honesty. It was not the time he felt embarrassed or embarrassed, his family's condition was more important now.

Xiao Jiwang was silent, the man did not reply. He quickly resumed his meal and stared at the waterfall scene. He no longer spoke nor turned his head towards Xiao Mingyui, as if the man had been preoccupied with his own thoughts.

After the meal, Xiao Mingyui quickly reinserted Xiao Jiwang's tableware. As he and Xiao Jiwang stood together, it was not yet perfect that he turned to leave, Xiao Jiwang suddenly said, "What is it that makes you not fear me?"

Xiao Mingyui was silent, this question was too sudden. But before long he smiled and replied, "I love you."

Xiao Jiwang slowly turned his head, then turned around. The two are now facing on the hill, under the hill there is a river that looks very beautiful.

"What makes you love me?" xiao Jiwang asked, his eyes looking very cold.

Xiao Mingyui was silent, she was perplexed to answer. He did not love Xiao Jiwang, he only wanted to help his family through their relationship.

Xiao Jiwang suddenly gave a faint grin, then bowed his body towards Xiao Mingyui and asked again. "What makes you love me, Princess Mingyui?"

Xiao Mingyui did not rewind her head or dodge, the woman kept staring back at Xiao Jiwang fixedly with an equally cold gaze.

Xiao Mingyui closed her eyes for a moment, then replied, "I feel that we are the same human beings."

"In terms?"

"Look to yourself," Xiao Mingyui replied quickly.

Xiao Jiwang's thin sneer disappeared instantly, again only a cold gaze remained. Seeing that Xiao Jiwang was just silent and staring at him, Xiao Mingyui chose to explain the contents of his sentence just now.

"You and I, both big and growing up in a very big environment. Both noble parents and I, are both figures and holders of important positions. Our eyes and attention have been on us since we were born. The demands and expectations are so great just because we are the son of the Emperor or Xiao Wangye. You .. since childhood try to be the best, so do I. Pretending not to see and hear the crafty infighting of the adults around since childhood, all of those things demand us to be adults filled with lies. We must still say willing even though the actual condition of the bones has been completely destroyed. Your Majesty, I have been watching you since childhood. I love you."

Xiao Jiwang was silent, but then he threw away his glance and gave a faint grin. His eyes looked even more savagely staring at Xiao Mingyui. "disgusting."

Xiao Mingyui's gentle smile disappeared after hearing Xiao Jiwang's scornful sentence. Xiao Jiwang not long laughed, his laughter sounding extremely crisp. It was as if he was laughing at Xiao Mingyui's stupidity.

"Your mouth is very sweet, but the look on your eyes looks very dead and empty. How can you force your mouth to say something that isn't in your heart and head?" xiao Jiwang said, then was about to step away leaving Xiao Mingyui.

"Your majesty!" Xiao Mingyui tried to stop Xiao Jiwang's footsteps, the woman did not move from her position while squeezing the handle of Xiao Jiwang's lunchbox.

Xiao Jiwang stopped, the man turned his head back. Xiao Mingyui slowly turned his head, his two eyes fixed on Xiao Jiwang again. Xiao Jiwang was stunned. Xiao Mingyui's eyes changed.

"I don't love you, but I want to be your wife! Give me a chance to learn to love you, because I .. really want to love you." Xiao Mingyui placed his right palm over his chest. His forehead was folded deep, the great seriousness was completely apparent.

Xiao Jiwang did not express anything, then replied, "You really became my wife?"

Xiao Mingyui nodded steadily. "really. I want to be your wife."

"What if I suddenly kill you?" xiao Jiwang asked again, still expressionless.

Xiao Mingyui shook his head slowly. "It doesn't matter, as long as you keep one promise that I'll ask for before I get killed."

"What?"

Xiao Jiwang smiled coldly, after which glanced towards the waterfall behind Xiao Mingyui and said, "Jump to the surface of the water below. If you dare, I will grant your request."

Xiao Mingyui frowned, then turned her head and looked at the surface of the water that looked very calm down there.

"There are an unknown number of crocodiles there. They are ready to devour whatever living things that enter there. If you dare, please jump. Otherwise, then forget it," Xiao Jiwang said indifferently, he said that without a care Xiao Mingyui would actually jump or not.

Xiao Mingyui glanced at Xiao Jiwang again, then tried to make sure. "Do you promise what you say?"

Xiao Jiwang nodded. "certain."

Xiao Mingyui put down Xiao Jiwang's lunchbox, after which it stood right on the edge of the hill. Xiao Jiwang who saw this immediately frowned, yet he did not say anything.

Xiao Mingyui took a deep breath, the river below actually looked very calm. But who would have thought there were an unknown number of ferocious crocodiles?

Xiao Mingyui pulled out her jade slip, then placed it right next to Xiao Jiwang's lunchbox. His long black hair was completely free-spaired before Xiao Jiwang's eyes.

Finished releasing the other head makeup, the woman briefly turned her head towards Xiao Jiwang. The moment their eyes met, Xiao Jiwang instantly turned upside down to express himself.

Slowly, the worry in Xiao Jiwang's eyes appeared, his forehead deepening folded.

Xiao Mingyui spread out both of his hands, after which closed both of his eyes. His lips smiled faintly, he was enjoying the cool air above this hill.

Xiao Mingyui thoughtlessly twice immediately jumped up without saying anything in front of Xiao Jiwang's eyes. Xiao Jiwang took a deep breath as he saw this, his eyes staring at Xiao Mingyui who was jumping down there very coldly.

Xiao Jiwang clenched his hands together, the look on the man's face looked very bad. Trying not to care, Xiao Jiwang immediately turned around and walked away. But not five steps, the movement stopped. Xiao Jiwang looked back, gritting his teeth in annoyance. Suddenly the shadow of Xiao Mingyui's thin smiling face with her long black hair that had decomposed beautifully before leaping earlier became fixed in her memory.

Xiao Jiwang quickly pulled out his sword and stuck it on the ground, the man without a second thought immediately plunged down following Xiao Mingyui.

BYYUURR!!!

Xiao Jiwang actually entered into the river, his eyes quickly looking for the figure of Xiao Mingyui. As soon as he saw Xiao Mingyui, the man immediately swam over to the woman.

Xiao Mingyui was still with her eyes closed, the woman did not move and allowed her body to be sucked deeper and deeper. Xiao Jiwang frowned deeply, it seemed as if Xiao Mingyui had fainted.

Xiao Jiwang pulled Xiao Mingyui's waist into his arms, the man tried to swim up to the surface.

Successfully rising to the surface, Xiao Jiwang tried to swim to the edge in order to stand up and hold Xiao Mingyui up to land. Successfully treading his feet, the man immediately carried Xiao Mingyui with his own two hands.

Not yet able to walk ashore, Xiao Jiwang felt many ferocious beast eyes staring at him. Xiao Jiwang's sharp eyes noticed the state, ah. Looks like the crocodiles are getting ready to eat both of them.

Xiao Jiwang did not move at all, he just stared back into the eyes of the crocodiles. Shortly after, the crocodiles left one by one, as if they did not dare to approach after receiving Xiao Jiwang's sharp gaze.

Xiao Jiwang walked towards the mainland, then placed Xiao Mingyui there. Xiao Jiwang immediately pressed down on Xiao Mingyui's chest, trying to bring out the water that entered the woman's body.

Three times ....

Four times ....

Five times ....

Six times ....

Xiao Mingyui suddenly coughed loudly and immediately vomited three mouthfuls of water from his mouth. Slowly he opened his eyes, his head hurt. It seems he swallowed too much water.

Xiao Jiwang who saw Xiao Mingyui immediately realized not saying anything, his eyes only stared coldly at Xiao Mingyui. The two of them had currently been completely drenched.

Xiao Mingyui slowly tried to take a sitting stance, before long she realized her legs were sprained and unable to move.

Xiao Jiwang who realized this immediately sighed furiously, it was a sign that he should carry Xiao Mingyui back to the Palace.

Xiao Mingyui looked at Xiao Jiwang, as the man returned his gaze, he immediately stood up and prepared to carry Xiao Mingyui.

Xiao Mingyui did not rebel, as this was the only option.

Xiao Jiwang carried Xiao Mingyui's body again, the atmosphere suddenly suddenly awkward.

"I'm sorry and .. thank you," Xiao Mingyui said in Xiao Jiwang's arms.

"Silent or both of your legs are really paralyzed," Xiao Jiwang replied.

Xiao Mingyui quickly silenced, nor did she know what else to speak in this awkward atmosphere. Along the way, their wet clothes dripped with water, making the streets wet.
