Chapter 388: 208: Zhi Yan’s confession! Zhi Ning’s pregnancy news!_3

Zhen Yan Princess said, "Don’t mention it."

Princess Suo Lun said, "I might need your help again tomorrow."

Zhen Yan Princess asked, "What for?"

Suo Lun replied, "I have a secret meeting with Gui Qinshu, but I’m worried she’ll come with skilled fighters to kill me. With your high martial skills, could you please come with me?"

"Sure," Zhi Yan said.

Suo Lun sighed, "Gui Xingfu has raised a good daughter, all hope of taking Linhai City rests on her."

Though Princess Suo Lun’s words were shameless, Zhi Yan showed no reaction but rather asked, "Linhai City, isn’t that your third step plan?"

Suo Lun answered, "It’s better to be prepared. When it comes to ’training’ women with a masochistic streak, it takes time."

"Oh," Zhi Yan said.

Turning to look at her face of peerless beauty, Suo Lun said, "Don’t you find me despicable?"

"Not at all," Zhi Yan replied. "I think you... are very charming."

"Uh..." Suo Lun was at a loss for words.

Zhi Yan said, "In Duke Turing’s Mansion tonight, a lot of people will be there, and they are going to discuss plans to destroy Suo soon."

Suo Lun remarked, "Yes, they must be coming from the sea, but I don’t know how many fleets there are or the total number of people."

"What do you plan to do?" Zhi Yan inquired.

Suo Lun said, "I’ll see if I can get some intelligence from Gui Qinshu’s mouth. This woman... is quite unique; seducing her a few times might bring surprises."

Zhi Yan commented, "She’s superficial, aggressive, and vain. Do women like her have a strong appeal to you men?"

Suo Lun thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, her extreme beauty, her extreme sexiness, and we men are indeed very shallow."

Zhi Yan stated, "Men like you are even more attractive to women because you are also extremely handsome, extremely intelligent, and extremely sexy."

"Uh..." Suo Lun.

Zhi Yan asked, "Do women like me attract you?"

Suo Lun was at a loss for words and after a while, he said, "You are too beautiful, too ethereal, too unreachable; it makes men feel inferior."

After looking at Suo Lun for a while, Zhi Yan said, "Suo Lun, I’m not ethereal, and I’m certainly not detached, really."

During the short conversation, Suo Lun felt... his presence was being suppressed.

Just like the time in Blood Case Lost City when he was suppressed by Jiang Xue.

Despite the fact that Zhi Yan frankly revealed her fondness for him.

...

In the most secluded part of Dragon Temple, there was an underground chamber.

This chamber, with only ten square meters, was bare except for the cold ground.

Zhi Ning was locked in here.

This place was even worse than the dungeons of Heavenly Water Main City; there was not even a window, nor any furniture.

But she didn’t hate her brother Zhi Li.

Because he had to give an explanation to the nobles and lords.

For the battle of Tianshui City, Zhi Li had paid the price of more than two hundred thousand Gold Coins and also caused Duke Turing Tuo and Earl Gui Xingfu to pay a painful price.

Someone had to take responsibility for this big defeat, and Zhi Ning was the best candidate.

Of course, she indeed was the main cause of the catastrophe.

During these days of confinement in the chamber, Zhi Ning deeply felt that she was only suited for scheming against a person, a specific detail, a particular matter. When it came to these things, she was extremely calculating and ruthlessly vicious.

But when it came to a major battle or strategy, she was completely outmatched.

Her military talent didn’t compare to Suo Hanyi’s, let alone Nurdan’s and Turing Duo’s.

If Turing Duo had been in charge of the battle of Tianshui City, the defeat wouldn’t have been so disastrous.

If Suo Hanyi and Nurdan had been commanding, Suo Lun would have been doomed by now, and his fifteen thousand troops would have been utterly annihilated.

However, all of this was irrelevant to her now.

Ever since being with Suo Lun... she had instinctively avoided these issues.

Being confined in the chamber until her brother Zhi Li ascended the throne wouldn’t be too bad.

Of course, if necessary, she could still enter into a marriage alliance for her brother Zhi Li and marry Prince Ji Min of the Flame Empire.

At that moment, footsteps approached from outside, the door to the chamber opened, and a female cultivator entered with a serious expression.

"What’s wrong?" Zhi Ning asked.

"You’re pregnant," the female cultivator said. "Take this pill and abort the child in your womb."

Suddenly, Zhi Ning was struck as if by thunder.
