Chapter 151: Fateful Battle (5)
"Where is Yin Yin?" Ignoring Huan Ling's words, Zhou Cheng went straight to the point. For him, it was enough that the person in front of him was Huan Ling. He didn't need to know anything else, and he didn't care what she had done. The most important thing now was that he just wanted to know Yin Yin's whereabouts, so he didn't want to waste his breath on meaningless things.
After listening to Zhou Cheng's words, Huan Ling changed his usual expression and revealed a very rare smile. This smile did not mean anything, but it could be considered appreciation to a certain extent.
"You are worthy of being the King of Zhou. However, as the king of a country, when the country is facing danger, you don't take government affairs as your priority, but instead come to a place like this to show favoritism?"
Huan Ling's words could be said to be a double entendre. On the one hand, it hit Zhou Cheng's soft spot, and on the other hand, it was an unscrupulous provocation. Rather than a provocation, it could be said to be a one-sided statement.
Zhou Cheng looked at Huan Ling coldly, unmoved. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "How can the kidnapping of my Great Zhou princess be considered a private affair? If outsiders knew that my Great Zhou princess was kidnapped and my Great Zhou was unmoved, how could we not be laughed at by others?"
Zhou Cheng discussed the matter objectively. Regardless of whether it was because of Yin Yin, even if it was any other princess of the Great Zhou, Zhou Cheng's action could be said to be reasonable. This could even show how much he valued the royal family.
In fact, Huan Ling was just speaking casually. She couldn't say that she didn't know Zhou Cheng's feelings for Yin Yin, but at the same time she had not forgotten Yin Yin's special identity. There was nothing wrong with Zhou Cheng's appearance in terms of emotion, reason, public and private.
"In other words, King Zhou is here to retrieve the lost princess? Am I right in understanding this?"
Huanling specifically emphasized the tone of the word "Princess", how could Zhou Cheng not hear her hidden meaning? He did not deny that it was because of Yinyin, but he would not refute Huanling's words. In short, it didn't matter what the reason was, he had already come here and come this far.
"What are your conditions?"
From beginning to end, Zhou Cheng's words were extremely concise. Although he only said a few words, it was obvious that he did not want to waste any more words except when necessary.
Huanling looked at Zhou Cheng for a long time, as if thinking about how to start. In a way, she understood Zhou Cheng, and knew that Zhou Cheng was just as he said, unless he didn't want to, he would never do anything meaningless, including words. Compared with other people, Zhou Cheng might be the coldest, but at the same time, Huanling also understood that those people, including Zhou Cheng, would change for one person, and only in front of that person would they show a different side, so she was jealous and resentful of that person.
After a while, Huan Ling spoke faintly: "Can you give me what I want?"
After hearing this, Zhou Cheng frowned slightly. He believed that everyone has weaknesses, and no one is an exception. In other words, everyone has their own selfish desires. Everything Huanling did was only for some purpose. However, after listening to Huanling's attitude at this moment, he realized that maybe what she wanted was not as simple as he imagined, but also not as complicated as he imagined.
Zhou Cheng just stared at Huan Ling without giving a reply, but Huan Ling still understood what Zhou Cheng meant, so he continued: "My conditions are very simple. I want the whole world and the right of life and death of one person."
This made Zhou Cheng frown even more tightly. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Huan Ling's words. First of all, it was not up to him to get the whole world; secondly, if he really got the world, then whose life and death would not be controlled by her?
However, just as Zhou Cheng was about to speak, the ghost's voice sounded first: "Humph, how ridiculous, do you think you can get something impossible like this?"
After saying this, the eyes of the three people were all focused on Guisha. Frankly speaking, Guisha's face was extremely ugly at the moment, and it had turned blue-gray. It was not difficult to see that his physical condition was also extremely poor at the moment, but no one knew the reason except himself; no one understood why Guisha was still determined to provoke Huanling at this point, but it could be seen that he had a certain unshakable belief, as if the fire of his life would not stop until that belief was fulfilled.
Zhou Cheng and Huanling did not show any hesitation at Guisha's sudden intervention, only Shan Zhen frowned. Of course, he could see that Guisha's physical condition was extremely bad at the moment. He might know the reason more or less, and he could understand his actions, but he could not accept Guisha's almost reckless behavior. His understanding of Guisha was not much, but not little either. Therefore, he believed that Guisha's behavior had two meanings: one was that Guisha understood Huanling better than them, so this practice might be laying the foundation for what would happen later; the other was obviously related to Guisha's own situation.
What on earth had happened? Shan Zhen couldn't help but wonder in his heart, feeling uneasy. His intuition told him that this uneasiness must be related to Yin Yin, so he immediately became anxious.
"Do you think you have the right to say that to me?" Huan Ling counterattacked Gui Sha's words.
From an outsider's perspective, the ghost and the phantom were just like two children bickering with each other. If it wasn't at this time, if they didn't know each other's positions, Zhou Cheng and Shan Zhen would probably think they were watching a farce. However, none of them had such a view, and they became even more alert.
At this time, a dozen people followed Zhou Cheng and Shan Zhen, each looking at Huanling with vigilance. Just as they appeared, a dozen people also appeared on Huanling's side. Just as both sides were on guard against each other, another group of people appeared. It was called a group, but there were only three people. The appearance of three people broke the delicate balance between the two sides. Not only Huanling, but even Zhou Cheng and Shan Zhen were shocked by the sudden appearance of the three people, not to mention the others. Only Guisha seemed unmoved.
