Chapter 819: What else can dissolve hate, besides love?

Medical City was guarded so tightly, but how did Ning Cheng bring Han Yunxi away without a word? Actually, Ning Cheng had taken Han Yunxi away not long after she regained consciousness. Ning Jing’s repeated trips in the middle of the night were simply to sound out Tang Li’s intentions, that’s all. 

Currently, Ning Cheng and Han Yunxi were on their way back to Tianning. She was nestled in the carriage while he drove the reins. Many guards accompanied them as a safeguard. Han Yunxi was deathly exhausted, but couldn’t fall asleep. She stuck her head out and asked, “Hey, just how did you get out of there?”

She had been led out of Medical City blindfolded. It was obvious that Ning Cheng still distrusted her. Ning Cheng simply whipped the horses with his eyes looking forward. Instead of answering her question, he asked back, “Has Your Royal Highness finished thinking things over?”

He wanted her to consider taking up the mantle of West Qin princess and assume responsibility for the revival of her country. Han Yunxi only laughed coldly and said, “Do I even have the right to choose?”

Ning Cheng finally turned around with a glare. Ever since she had compared the Di Clan with the Nether Clan, he had stopped acting respectful or reverent around her. Despite this, Han Yunxi felt that this side of him was more genuine.

“What are you so surly about? I never had the right to choose to begin with, so why make me decide at all? In any case, I have to come with you even if I don’t want to, isn’t that right?” The more she spoke, the colder Ning Cheng’s gaze grew. But Han Yunxi didn’t fear him at all. “Don’t tell me you’ll let me go now if I say I don’t agree?”

Finally, Ning Cheng’s gaze revealed hints of disappointment and disdain. “You can choose to refuse, but I won’t let you go…”

“That’s why--”

“I won’t force you any further,” Ning Cheng interrupted, “But I would kill you! Once you died, the Di Clan would have no more mission to fulfill. Everyone could happily live out their lives as they wanted!”

Han Yunxi gave a start as she realized this truly wasn’t a bad idea! Abruptly, Ning Cheng drew close, killing intent flashing in his eyes. He frightened Han Yunxi into a hasty retreat as he mouthed, word by word, his ruthless statement. “Your Royal Highness, this subordinate will ask you one last time: have you thought things through?”

Han Yunxi tugged her lips into a smile before she replied easily, “I have. I’ll agree with you guys…”

Although she hadn’t figured out how to tell Ning Cheng about the Wind Clan’s machinations, agreeing to work with them first was imperative. Otherwise, she’d never get her chance. Han Yunxi’s smile was lovely, but Ning Cheng didn’t smile back. Instead, he turned serious.

“Your Royal Highness, a word once spoken cannot be taken back even by a team of four horses. Please be more earnest.”

Han Yunxi withdrew her smile and turned serious. “Don’t worry. I’ll live up to my word.”

Ning Cheng was still unsatisfied. “May Your Royal Highness make a vow.”

“Alright, I vow that if I, Han Yunxi...”

“--if Your Royal Highness goes back on your words today, then Long Feiye will die an unnatural death!” Ning Cheng interrupted while she was still thinking over the details.

In a flash, Han Yunxi’s eyes glittered with ice. But she hid it well enough that even Ning Cheng couldn’t tell at close distance. Smiling once again, she said, “Ning Cheng, do you think I’m refusing you all because I like Long Feiye?”
