Chapter 17 The Depth of Love
"Don't move now." Lin Dao walked to Zhen Mi's side and put his hands on Zhen Mi's injured right thigh. In fact, Lin Dao had just woken up. The first thing he did when he woke up was to remove the two purple energy arrows on Zhen Mi's thigh. Lin Dao's hands slowly held the two energy arrows. Somehow, Zhen Mi closed her eyes like a weak woman at this moment. She was waiting for the pain brought by Lin Dao to pull out the energy arrow.
However, what surprised Zhen Mi was that the pain had not arrived. By the time she opened her eyes, Lin Dao had already handed over a cup of hot water and an elixir with purple light. Looking at his right leg, Zhen Mi found that the two energy arrows had quietly disappeared, leaving only two scabbed blood holes.
Without too many words, Zhen Mi took Liu Zhuan Dan in Lin Dao's soft eyes.
"Because the wound has to grow flesh again, it will be a little itchy at the beginning. Just put up with it."
Zhen Mi still didn't say anything. She just looked at Lin Dao with a facial expression.
Lin Dao smiled, as if he was talking to himself: "Don't be surprised by any of my behavior. I told you earlier that everything I do to you now is a promise. Among them are promises to Zhen Yi and promises to you.
Zhen Mi frowned slightly, but she still didn't say anything.
"I didn't mean to pretend to be Zhen Yi to deceive you. It can be said that this is a coincidence and a kind of fate. I don't care what you think of me or whether you accept me or not. Anyway, I will be responsible for you.
Hearing Lin Dao's words, Zhen Mi turned her head and didn't look at Lin Dao. Obviously, she didn't care what Lin Dao said.
"Do you think I'm talking big?" Lin Dao smiled and said, "Use a classic line, 'Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.'"
"Hum, hum, ha ha..." Zhen Mi was actually laughed at by Lin Dao's cold joke. Her smile was like a charming and beautiful flower.
Lin Dao approached Zhen Mi and squatted down to her: "You smile beautifully. I hope such a smile will always accompany you in the future."
When Lin Dao said this, Zhen Mi straightened her original poker face again. Although she was still beautiful, it gave people a strong sense of distance, forcing others to get close.
"Well, that's all for gossip. Let's talk about business." Lin Dao sat directly in front of Zhen Mi, "Dear Her Majesty the Dark Elf Queen, please forgive me for taking the liberty. I don't know if you intend to re-conclude a covenant, an unbreakable covenant?"
Zhen Mi finally opened her mouth. Her magnetic voice always sounds imaginative and forgetful: "I don't understand what you're talking about."
"It's very simple. It seems that your alliance with the Northern Underworld has been destroyed, so I'm asking if you need a new ally." The smile on Lin Dao's face never disappeared.
"The covenant? Humph, that's just a trap. Zhen Mi sneered.
"Yes, so you are waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Yuan Shao on the presump of alliance?"
"That's right!" As soon as he said this, Zhen Mi's anger surged up, "If you hadn't suddenly made trouble, Yuan Shao would have died!"
Lin Dao stared at Zhen Mi and said word by word, "If that's the case, you are dead."
"So what? As long as Yuan Shao dies, the crisis in the dark forest will be resolved.
"But I won't let you die. My target is you, and I don't care about anything else. Moreover, even if you survive, you will be called Yuan Xi's wife by others now, which is absolutely not allowed by me!" Lin Dao's attitude and tone suddenly became tough. Lin Dao grabbed Zhen Mi's hand and said, "You are my Lin Dao's person, and you will always be!"
Zhen Mi was stunned by Lin Dao's words. She really didn't expect Lin Dao to say such a thing. In this way, she let Lin Dao hold her hand and let Lin Dao's hand gradually warm her cold body.
"Mium (fú)er."
When Zhen Mi was called by Lin Dao, her body actually trembled slightly. She looked at Lin Dao in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "You, you, how do you know..."
It should be said that this is a secret of Zhen Mi, a secret that even Zhen Yi doesn't know. As far as Yuan Xi is concerned, he has always called Zhen Mi (mì). Of course, it's just a change in the name, and there is not much mystery.
"Can you guess?" Lin Dao said something very flat, and he smiled, "I want to ask you again, do you accept a brand-new covenant? Originally, I felt strange about your alliance with Yuan Shao. After you just said this, I knew that you were trying to assassinate Yuan Shao. However, you should know that even if Yuan Shao dies, a brand-new king will appear in the Northern Underworld, and they will still threaten the survival of your dark elves.
I don't know whether Lin Dao's words moved Zhen Mi, or for other reasons, Zhen Mi began to talk to Lin Dao in an orderly manner: "As soon as Yuan Shao dies, his three sons will start to fight for the throne, so that they can fight for a period of time to calm the civil strife."
"Internal chaos? Are you talking about the guy Han Song?
"Yes, it seems that you have a better understanding of the power of our dark forest." As the queen of dark elves, Zhen Mi is not mediocre. On the contrary, she is more shrewd than the former queen of dark elves.
"That's a must. Since I have decided to help you, I always have to do the basics." Lin Dao smiled.
"Hmm, there's nothing to pay attention to!" Zhen Mi sneered.
"Nothing? How can there be nothing? My request is obvious. That is, you form an alliance with me. Of course, it's best to be my princess. Lin Dao laughed a lot and was beaten.
Zhen Mi was silent for a moment, and then changed to a cold tone: "To be honest, Nan Pluto, I don't trust you. You should know that I hate you more. Of course, the most important thing is that your so-called alliance excuse is too easy to be exposed. The Southern Underworld is too far away from the dark forest. I don't think you will offend the huge Northern Underworld in exchange for such a weak ally.
Lin Dao shook his head helplessly and said, "You are really too defensive. Of course, there is no denying that you have accepted me at least on the surface, haven't you?
Zhen Mi did not answer, and she chose to be silent.
"Hey hey, in this case, it's easy to say. Well, your injury has healed, so let's not do it for the time being. At this time, Lin Dao sensed the two energy fluctuations of Dong Xi and Hui Niang coming towards him, so he said goodbye to Zhen Mi and met them.
Lin Dao said he would leave, which made Zhen Mi a little uncomfortable for a while.
In fact, Lin Dao knows more about Zhen Mi. He knew that he needed to deal with Zhen Mi with appropriate entanglements, then add some small moves, and finally launched a big offensive. Lin Dao is now taking the second step, so he is not in a hurry to let Zhen Mi accept him. Now, the first thing to solve is the contradictions within the dark elves, that is, Han Song's life and death.
"Young master, why are you alone, Miss San?" Hui Niang saw that there was only one person in Lin Dao, and began to ask as soon as she met.
"Oh, I'm temporarily separated from her. The third sister seems to have other things to do. Hui Niang, take me back to the dark forest first. I want to know the situation first, and then make the next plan.
Hui Niang nodded.
When Lin Dao and the other two left, Zhen Mi stood on a branch and looked at their backs. To Zhen Mi's surprise, Lin Dao waved to her before parting. Zhen Mi has always been extremely proud of his stealth ability, but he didn't expect to be found by Lin Dao, which made Zhen Mi's feelings for Lin Dao more complicated and confusing.
For Lin Dao, Zhen Mi's feelings are extremely complicated, and she can't tell whether it is hatred or love.
If it was hatred, Zhen Mi had already crushed Lin Dao's heart, but she did not do so; if it was love, Zhen Mi did not accept Lin Dao, and he still had a deep guard against him.
This feeling is really terrible!
Lin Dao and Dong Xi entered the dark forest with Hui Niang. The so-called dark forest is completely different from what Lin Dao thinks. The trees here are not black, and there are no evil plants. The sun still shines on every corner of the forest. Here, the birds are singing, flowers are fragrant, and the trees are lush. You can also see some small animals passing through the grass beside you, and the mountain wind in the forest also has an intoxicating fragrance.
"Hui Niang, why is this place called the Dark Forest? In my opinion, the environment here is almost the same as the forests in other places. Lin Dao said the doubts in his heart directly.
"Young master, the so-called dark forest is not our name. It is the dirty water that human beings maliciously splashed on us. We used to call this forest Dexiana, but after a long time, we have also followed the name of human beings." Speaking of this, there was a faint look in Hui Niang's eyes.
"Actually, the origin of the dark forest is not as simple as human beings can splash dirty water." At this time, Dong Xi couldn't help but interrupt, "The main activities of the dark elves are at night, and the forest under the rule of the dark elves is extremely dangerous. There were once many human explorers, mercenaries or lords who wanted to cross this forest and directly step into the 'Great Wasteland', one of the Eight Wastes. According to legend, the 'Great Wasteland' has an inexhaustible gold mine, and our mercenary regiment once wanted to explore the Great Wilderness. But there are only two ways to enter the wilderness. The first road is the territory of the dragon clan, and no idiot will provoke those horrible beings; and the second road is the dark forest. Whether it is day or night, there are always dark elves guarding in the dark forest. Except for your kind, anyone who enters this territory will be shot unconditionally. There are so many people folded in the hands of the dark elves that people gradually forget the beautiful name Dexiana and has never been replaced by the dark forest. Of course, human beings also have a warning to others, hoping that others will not approach here without authorization. This is a dangerous existence for foreigners.
Obviously, Hui Niang did not know the origin of the name of the dark forest. She was curious and couldn't help asking, "Is there really a gold mine in the wilderness?"
