Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Can You Hold Me?

This was the first time Fu Long had seen, with his own eyes, this so-called System.

Chu Qianli’s bracelet contained a vast and mystical space.

She just had to flick the chain, and suddenly, an object would appear in her hand.

That included the cola they had drunk before, as well as the "mobile phone" she mentioned.

The mobile phone still had some, the images they had seen under the cliff were still retained.

Fu Long began to suspect that after his narrow escape from death, hallucinations were setting in.

But, Chu Qianli forcefully knocked him on the head.

Finally, he believed.

"Put the stuff away, I need to calm down," Fu Long rubbed the corners of his eyebrows.

She said she comes from a future a thousand years later.

She said she was not Chu Qianli, she was just using Chu Qianli’s body.

She said that her bracelet contained a space where she could store things.

She said she could also buy many tools from the future, but she needed to earn money first...

Fu Long closed his eyes, rubbing his brow, feeling somewhat troubled.

He didn’t know how long had passed before he opened his eyes again and looked at her, still somewhat doubtful, "Why tell me?"

These secrets, as long as she didn’t mention them, no one would know.

Because there was no evidence whatsoever.

And it was so preposterous that no one would even think of it.

"Because I need someone to trust."

She couldn’t keep going like this, sitting ducks in this era.

"Fu Long, in our time, there are no distinctions of high and low; everyone is equal, there’s no Emperor, no Prince, no need to kneel down!"

"Every person is the protagonist of their own life, and everyone is entitled to respect from others."

She looked at Fu Long, earnest, sincere, "But here, there is heaven and earth, there are Emperors and masters, the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, if you don’t take control of power yourself, you’re the one who gets ordered around and used."

"You’re thinking of rebelling against the Emperor?" Fu Long was somewhat shocked.

"I don’t want to rebel, but if the Emperor wants my life, I can’t just stand by and let myself be killed."

No one wants to die; even those Medicine Men, if they had a choice, they’d absolutely not be willing to be Dead Soldiers.

"If a master cherishes his own, then he is worth your loyalty, but Fu Long, when has the Emperor ever cherished your life?"

Fu Long didn’t speak, his face was somber, filled with melancholy.

"I’m not teaching you to betray your country, I just don’t want us to continue being pawns."

Chu Qianli completely put away the objects.

She looked out the window, "In our time, monogamy was practiced, a man could only marry one woman."

"So, for this lifetime, you couldn’t possibly follow Prince Yexuan?" Fu Long finally understood.

This was her perseverance.

She would absolutely not tolerate sharing a man with other women.

After quite some time, Fu Long finally, thoroughly digested everything before his eyes.

And accepted it.

"I understand the significance of sharing your secrets with me."

"So?" Chu Qianli looked at him, waiting for his response as well.

She was certain she hadn’t misjudged him.

Fu Long was also looking at her, and after a long while, he nodded solemnly, "After we return, I know what to say. However, these Medicine Men at the bottom of the cliff, we need to deal with them."

He could be disloyal to the Emperor, but he must remain loyal to the people.

If these Medicine Men were let go, chaos would ensue, and the ones who would suffer were the innocent citizens.

"Let me think," Chu Qianli looked down.

"No matter what you decide to do in the end, for now, I still advise you to seek Prince Yexuan as a support," Fu Long walked to the door and listened carefully.

Not finding any stir outside, he then said, "Ali, if you want to protect your loved ones, you must first become strong yourself."

"Before you have developed the strength to contend with certain powers, feigning compliance may not be a bad strategy."

Chu Qianli moved her lips but didn’t speak.

Fu Long continued, "You are an extremely intelligent girl, just unwilling to use means to design and strategize. But right now, with the Duke still in the palace, you need to think carefully!"

"You may not harm others, but that does not mean they won’t harm you. In fact, they have been harming you all along!"

"You may disdain certain methods, but others will use them!"

"Ali, if you feel that the heavens are being unfair to you, then use your wisdom to defy them."

From the moment they shared life and death at Heifeng Ridge, Fu Long had decided that she would be the most trusted person in his life.

She had used her own body to block the Medicine Man’s attack for him.

From now on, her affairs would also be his responsibility!

Some feelings don’t need any words to explain, their existence is presence itself.

"Duke, let’s think of a way to rescue him together! But getting him out is not a long-term solution."

"If the Emperor can use you once, he will do it a second time!"

"Ali, think carefully about what to do next. I’ll wait for you!"

...

Feng Yexuan returned at dawn.

Seeing his hurried manner, Chu Qianli knew that he had a plan for the Medicine Man at Heifeng Cliff.

This was not his jurisdiction, and dealing with the Medicine Man was not his responsibility.

However, having witnessed the power of the Medicine Man, he probably wouldn’t let the matter rest easily.

But Heifeng Cliff was treacherously steep, and the number of Medicine Men at the bottom of the cliff was enormous.

Most importantly, they still did not know who was behind it all.

It would not be easy for Prince Yexuan to eradicate the Medicine Men completely.

Unless, they found the person behind it first.

But Feng Yexuan probably didn’t plan to discuss these matters with Chu Qianli.

After returning, he only looked at her and said, "We are returning to the Imperial City. Do you have anything to say to me?"

Chu Qianli looked at him, her lips slightly parted as if she wanted to speak, yet hesitated.

Feng Yexuan showed great patience with her today.

Wait!

He stood by the bedside for at least the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

In the end, she still didn’t say anything.

Feng Yexuan’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant!

After so much had happened, surviving life-threatening situations and nearly dying at Heifeng Ridge.

Was this stubborn woman still so stubborn?

"Since you have nothing to say, then follow me back home," he said angrily, turning and walking towards the door.

But just as he pulled the door open, from behind him came her faint voice, "Prince..."

Feng Yexuan paused, but he didn’t turn around.

He wanted to see just how long this stubborn woman could last!

Was it so difficult for her to show some submission before him?

"Prince..." Chu Qianli clutched the bed canopy, staring at his rigid back.

After hesitating for quite a while, she finally said softly, "My foot hurts."

"What do you want?" Feng Yexuan turned to look at her.

Foot pain! Such feeble words didn’t seem like something she would say!

In his heart, he felt a tremor, but his face remained expressionless.

Chu Qianli looked at him, bit her lip, and with some effort, mustered the courage to say, "I’ve injured my ankle, walking is very painful, can you... carry me?"
