Chapter 203: Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost 24
Runyu stared at Kuang Lu in confusion, and asked with some vigilance in his heart: "Did you go the wrong direction? The registration office of His Majesty the God of Fire is on the other side."

Xu Feng, who was standing by, felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. He also knew that the two palaces had been recruiting soldiers for all these years and Xuanji Palace had been empty, but he could not change the Mother Goddess's decision.

"Brother, maybe this heavenly soldier really wants to report to Xuanji Palace?" Xu Feng said to Kuang Lu.

"His Highness Ye Shen?" Kuang Lu's expression changed slightly after hearing what Runyu and Xufeng said. She looked at Runyu for a few times before answering, "That's right. I want to report to His Highness Ye Shen."

Runyu's voice was indifferent, without any enthusiasm or welcome, "My Xuanji Palace has always recruited soldiers for a formality. You have no place to use your skills here. If you want to make military achievements, you should go to the God of Fire and try."

Kuang Lu's eyes were firm, and her attitude was even more unwavering: "Kuang Lu only wants to follow His Highness Ye Shen, and I will do anything you ask me to do."

Next, Ling Xi witnessed with his own eyes the fierce competition between Runyu and Kuang Lu, neither of them was willing to give in to the other.

However, this scene does seem familiar. It seems to be exactly the same as the scene when she first came to the Heavenly Palace and entered the Xuanji Palace.

She would always drive the people away first, and then she would start to fight with Runyu, and finally she would stay by being thick-skinned.

"There's no war to fight if you follow me."

"Okay, I'm not good at fighting anyway."

"There are few people in Xuanji Palace but a lot of work to do. I'm afraid I have to take care of sweeping, grinding ink, and serving tea and water."

“I can do it.”

"I am on duty under the stars and moon. If you come, you have to keep watch with me."

"I can."

"I have a bad temper and get angry easily."

"Your Highness, you are joking. In the heavens, the Night God is famous for his good temper."

"I usually study the forbidden arts of strange sects, and sometimes I get carried away and hurt people occasionally."

Kuang Lu was silent for a while. When everyone thought she was about to give up, she looked at Ling Xi and glanced at Ling Xi before she spoke: "Your Highness will not do this. I heard that the fairy beside you has been with you for many years and has never been heard of being injured."

Runyu: “.”

His Xuanji Palace is not a good place, so why does this person keep trying to squeeze in?

Being stared at by Kuang Lu, Ling Xi acted generously, winked at Kuang Lu mischievously, and then smiled at her in a friendly manner.

Kuang Lu saw Ling Xi smiling at her. When she saw those bright black eyes smiling, she felt extremely nervous and lowered her head subconsciously.

For some reason, she felt that the fairy's eyes seemed to see through her disguise. She knew everything, but did not expose her.

Ling Xi admired this little Dewdrop for being able to persevere under Runyu's pressure.

No one has entered Xuanji Palace over the years. Part of the reason is that Xuanji Palace is not welcome and no one comes. Another part of the reason is that none of them have passed Runyu's test. He feels that having the two of them in Xuanji Palace is enough.

Thinking of this, Ling Xi gently grabbed Runyu's sleeve, moved closer to him, and whispered: "This heavenly soldier is very good, let's keep her."

As soon as Ling Xi opened his mouth, Runyu had no choice but to lower his eyebrows and smile: "Okay, Ah Xi, you can make the decision."

Ling Xi then turned his gaze towards Kuang Lu and said with a smile: "Kuang Lu Tianbing, welcome to join Xuanji Palace. Just come to Xuanji Palace at noon tomorrow."

Kuang Lu showed a delighted expression: "Thank you, His Majesty Yeshen, and thank you for this fairy." Ling Xi winked at her gently and said teasingly: "You're welcome, little dewdrop."

Kuang Lu's face suddenly turned red. She said goodbye to them and ran away.

Runyu glanced at Ling Xi, with some doubts in his eyes, but after thinking about it, he figured out the matter.

He would not doubt that Ling Xi fell in love with the heavenly soldier named Kuang Lu. After thousands of years of getting along, Ling Xi understood him, and he also understood Ling Xi.

Ling Xi has always been cold towards men and avoided the immortal officials in the Heavenly Palace. She cut off contact with those immortal officials who showed their affection and feelings towards her without hesitation, so she would definitely not be so enthusiastic towards a man she had just met once.

Ling Xi has always been very caring towards women, just like Jin Mi. Today, she spoke nice words to Kuang Lu and flirted with her. This is exactly what Ling Xi would do to beautiful fairies.

So, is it possible that Kuang Lu is a woman, not a man?

No wonder Ling Xi showed a welcoming attitude towards Kuang Lu from the very beginning.

Ling Xi didn't like men, which made Runyu secretly happy.

But it was obvious that Kuang Lu had something planned for him, and Ling Xi didn't mind, and even liked Kuang Lu very much, which made Runyu feel frustrated again.

Could it be that he really couldn't let Ling Xi have any emotional fluctuations because of him? At least, it would be good to have some temper.

Forget it, Runyu thought again, it’s good to be like this now, they get along well like family. If he makes his feelings clear, Ling Xi might just avoid him.

Furthermore, he was burdened with an illusory marriage contract. Although the eldest daughter of the Water God did not have one, his father, the Emperor, would not let him cancel the engagement easily.

After all, with this marriage contract in hand, the Water God would, at least on the surface, be more biased towards him in front of outsiders, so that he could confront the Mother Goddess.

Even if he wanted to express his feelings to Ling Xi, he should at least do so after he dissolved the marriage. He would not let Ah Xi bear any bad reputation.

"Brother, now that the matter is over, I will take Jin Mi back to Qiwu Palace first."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Xu Feng asked to go back.

Runyu looked at him and nodded slightly, "Nothing, I will go back to Xuanji Palace with Axi."

Xu Feng: "Then I will have a chat with you some other day."

Before Jin Mi wanted to say something to Ling Xi, Xu Feng grabbed her clothes, lifted her up, and dragged her away.

The sound of their conversation reached Ling Xi and Run Yu's ears: "Phoenix, let me go, I still want to talk to Fairy Ling Xi."

Xu Feng warned, "Let's talk about it another day. Besides, what do you have to say, you naughty and mischievous little demon?"

Although it was a rebuke, both Ling Xi and Runyu could hear the concern hidden in Xu Feng's words.

Runyu felt strange for Xufeng. Although he had never said it explicitly when they met in the past, Runyu could see that Xufeng cared about Lingxi.

But when they met today, Xu Feng didn't seem to have the same feelings for Ling Xi as before, and he couldn't see Xu Feng's affection anymore.

On the contrary, Xu Feng seemed to have some unspeakable secret feelings towards Jin Mi.

This, why does it look so strange?
