Chapter 13748 Because I'm Handsome

At this point, Qin Xianglan paused for a moment, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes, "However, looking at the present, there are many magic cultivators in this vast world, including those who have studied the magic for many years, are experienced and have unfathomable strength.

Brother Ling, although you have unlimited potential, you are still in a critical stage of growth. Under such circumstances, the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword seems to have recognized you and chose you as its host without hesitation. There must be some unknown secret hidden in this, which is really puzzling. "

"Don't make things so complicated!" Ling Xiao waved his hand nonchalantly, his movements were free and easy. He had his usual cynical smile on his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if everything in the world was just an interesting game in his eyes.

"Maybe the sword is full of spiritual energy and, like ordinary people, prefers to appreciate beautiful things. Look at my face, handsome and majestic. Maybe it is attracted by my charm and is willing to follow me." After saying this, he deliberately puffed out his chest and pretended to be complacent.

"..." Qin Xianglan was choked and speechless for a moment. She glared at Ling Xiao fiercely with her beautiful eyes. Her eyes were filled with anger at his shameless remarks, but also with a hint of laughter. Then, she lowered her head slightly and fell into a brief contemplation.

The wind in the valley was still blowing gently, lifting a corner of her skirt. She stood there quietly, as if blending into the surrounding nature.

After a long while, she slowly raised her head, with a teasing look in her eyes, and spoke again: "I have seen it thoroughly. In terms of thick skin, Brother Ling, I am afraid that you are hard to find an opponent in this world. You can be said to be unparalleled in the world. In this regard, I sigh that I am not as good as you. I really can't catch up."

"You are slandering a good person!" Ling Xiao's eyes widened instantly and pretended to be extremely angry. He stretched out his finger and pointed it directly at Qin Xianglan. The expression on his face was so exaggerated as if he had been wronged thousands of times.

"I am a very thin-skinned person. Every word I said just now came from the bottom of my heart. You can't just put accusations on me and wrongly accuse me." As he spoke, he shook his head, looking like a misunderstood child.

Qin Xianglan shook her head helplessly, with a helpless expression on her face.

She sighed softly and said, "If you are shameless, then I don't know what I am. I wish I could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Looking back, I was in deep trouble and full of despair. I almost gave up and died.

In that darkest moment, it was fortunate that you, a thick-skinned person, showed up in time and made me happy with those shameless, infuriating and funny words, which gradually dispelled the haze in my heart and pulled me back from the edge of the abyss of despair. "

At this point, a hint of gratitude flashed in Qin Xianglan's eyes, although her tone was still teasing.

"I didn't save you simply out of kindness, it was mainly for my own benefit!" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and showed a matter-of-fact expression on his face, as if everything he said was the most normal thing.

"I have already declared to the public that you are mine. If you were killed in front of me, where would my dignity be? How can I survive in this world? People would laugh at me to death."

As he spoke, he gestured exaggeratedly, as if he had already seen the scene of himself being laughed at by everyone.

"Okay, okay! You are right." Qin Xianglan smiled bitterly and shook her head, her eyes revealing a deep fatigue and confusion.

She raised her head slightly and looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, her thoughts seemed to drift far away.

"But I really feel so tired. In this complicated and treacherous world, no matter how good we think we are or how smart we think we are, in the end, we may just be a small chess piece on someone else's chessboard, being manipulated at will, without any control over our own actions."

There was a hint of sadness in her voice, as if she was telling of an inescapable and helpless reality.

After hearing this, Ling Xiao first smiled gently, his expression calm and composed, as if all the troubles Qin Xianglan mentioned had nothing to do with him, and everything in the world was nothing but passing clouds in his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly, "A chess piece is just a chess piece. If someone is really capable of using me as a chess piece, it just shows that he has vision and is strong enough. How can I complain about being valued and used by such a person? Maybe it's my honor."

Having said this, his eyes suddenly became as sharp as an eagle's, and an icy cold murderous intent instantly emanated from his body, as if the air around him was condensed by this murderous intent.

"But if he doesn't have that ability and tries to control me as a chess piece but can't do it, then don't blame me for being ruthless and heartless. At that time, I will not show mercy and will personally send him to see the King of Hell to let him know that not everyone can control me at will."

As his words fell, the atmosphere in the valley seemed to become solemn. The surrounding grass and trees seemed to sense the murderous intent, and the rustling sounds became much weaker.

After hearing Ling Xiao's seemingly cynical but profoundly meaningful words, Qin Xianglan froze in place for a moment, as if the air around her had frozen.

Her pupils contracted slightly and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. The light was like a torch that suddenly lit up in the darkness, and it seemed to instantly illuminate certain corners deep in her heart, giving her a sense of enlightenment.

However, this sudden realization seemed to be shrouded in mist, still not clear enough, and many doubts and confusions still lingered in her heart.

After a fierce inner struggle, Qin Xianglan seemed to have finally made up her mind. She raised her head slightly, looked straight at Ling Xiao, and said in a firm tone with a slight tremor, "Brother Ling, can you let me go?"

The cynical smile on Ling Xiao's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a serious look. He slowly turned his head, staring at Qin Xianglan with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

During this brief yet seemingly extremely long gaze, the surrounding atmosphere became increasingly solemn. Even the originally gentle sound of the wind in the valley seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

Qin Xianglan felt a little guilty when she was looked at by Ling Xiao. She lowered her head slightly, a bitter smile appeared on her face, and a hint of self-mockery in her voice: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

In front of Ling Xiao, she really lacked confidence and didn't know whether Ling Xiao would agree to her request.
