I?

To comfort the empress?

Ning Cheng felt that he had heard wrongly and looked at Xiaoxia in disbelief: "Honey, are you mentally ill?"

"You are the one who is sick!" Xiaoxia said with red eyes and tears: "I just feel that the empress is so pitiful. I can understand her feeling. Besides, I just asked you to comfort her, not to comfort her on the bed.

!”

Ning Cheng frowned: "Whoever wants to go can go, but I won't go anyway!"

"Don't pull me down! Then I'll do it myself when I have time." Xiaoxia insisted.

Ning Cheng had a headache. It was still unknown whether the Empress would take action against Xiao Xia. After all, she had a suspicious personality. If Xiao Xia's words accidentally touched her pain point, it would probably happen.

Thinking of this, Ning Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "You are not allowed to come here in the future. Let your husband handle it. Do you understand?"

Xiaoxia was stunned by Ning Cheng's tough attitude, and then said: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Okay, Shuang'er, Wan'er, you take Xiaoxia back first. She will not be allowed to come again without my order from now on!"

Cao Shuang and Dongfang Wan nodded meekly and left with Xiaoxia.

Ning Cheng stood alone at the door, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak when the door to the training room suddenly opened.

"Come in."

The empress' voice came from inside the door, and it was ordinary.

Ning Cheng hesitated for a while and was about to take a step forward.

"What's wrong? Don't you dare come in for fear that I will eat you?"

Hearing the empress's voice, Ning Cheng quickly entered the training room: "What do I have to be afraid of?"

The empress sat cross-legged on the lotus stone pier in the center of the formation, looking at Ning Cheng with penetrating eyes, waiting for Ning Cheng to speak.

Ning Cheng didn't know what to say, and the two of them just stared at each other awkwardly.

Ning Cheng took a deep breath and spoke first: "Empress, I want to apologize to you on Xiaoxia's behalf."

"She didn't annoy me. On the contrary, I liked her very much." The empress said, "You don't need to apologize."

Ning Cheng shook his head and said: "Her intrusion without warning is a bit abrupt in itself."

Both emotionally and rationally, Ning Cheng felt that he should apologize. The empress was a supreme and powerful person with a noble status. Putting aside everything else, Xiaoxia's sudden visit did seem a bit offensive.

"I've already said that I don't need you to apologize." The empress' tone became colder, as if she was a little angry: "Do we really need to be so polite between us?"

Ning Cheng's apology seemed to have penetrated the empress' inner defense.

Ning Cheng sighed and said: "Empress, I really regard you as a friend, so I care about your feelings, but I am just a friend. I hope you can understand me."

The empress smiled coldly and said: "Ning Cheng, don't think that this emperor is really helpless without you. If you weren't so much like him, I would never look at you! Because you don't deserve it."

Ning Cheng nodded and did not get angry. He knew that what the empress said was true. It was because he was so similar to Ning Zun that the empress paid special attention to him in various aspects.

If I were not even remotely similar to Ning Zun, I'm afraid I wouldn't receive so much courtesy and preferential treatment in the Shura world.

All this is because of his inextricable relationship with Ning Zun, this is clear and undeniable.

"Empress, I owe you a lot of favors." Ning Cheng said: "From the perspective of a friend, I really should thank you, so I will make it clear. Recently, people under my command have hinted to me more than once, asking if they can

You, the top and most powerful person, can win over you into Chaos City, but I always hesitate."

"I don't want to use you, nor do I want to kidnap you because I saved you before."

"That's not necessary." The empress said coldly: "I will make my own decision whether to join or not. Today, the emperor has also made the matter clear. You don't need me to consider your feelings at all. I have already thought about it a lot.

It’s clear, you are really good as a friend, because you are really not him.”

"Ning Zun?" Ning Cheng said this name for the first time.

The empress's body trembled, and her eyes showed a gentle light: "Yes, Ning Zun. Yes, he can't come back. Even if I kill more familiars for him, even if I kill the Demon King in the end, he

I can’t come back either.”

The empress closed her eyes, and her crystalline and feeble tears fell down again, dripping on the lotus stone platform.

Ning Cheng frowned. Although he had been guessing something in his heart and had no substantial evidence, he hesitated and said, "Actually, Ning Zun may not have died."

"What did you say?"

The empress suddenly stood up and appeared in front of Ning Cheng. She stared directly at Ning Cheng and grabbed Ning Cheng's shoulders with both hands.

The force was so great that it was embedded in Ning Cheng's flesh and blood, and a raw pain was felt.

Ning Cheng had no expression on his face and did not blame the empress. He said: "This is a guess on my part. It may not be true. I just feel that Ning Zun has not disappeared. He may still be alive."

The empress stared at Ning Cheng, and the excitement in her eyes gradually turned into calmness: "It's impossible, he has been possessed by the Demon Emperor. You have never seen what a possessed warrior looks like, even if Ning Zun is really

If he has the strength to resist the Demon King, he may not be the same person he was back then."

Ning Cheng thought for a while and said: "I guess that the Demon Emperor has not been able to successfully devour Ning Zun so far. The dominance between the two has been changing. This is also the reason why the Demon Emperor has not shown up.

He couldn't devour it completely, so he hid in the darkness and looked for ways to wait for the opportunity."

"This is just your guess." The empress's eyes wandered. She had also thought about this possibility, but the hope of this situation was slim. The empress did not even dare to think about it deeply, for fear that her last hope would be shattered.

"So I said it's only possible." Ning Cheng said: "Empress, you like Ning Zun, not me. I know this very well. You should know it better than me, so I think the two of us

We can definitely become good friends, right?"

The empress smiled coldly and said, "We have always been good friends. Are you overthinking it?"

The empress didn't want to admit that she held Ning Cheng on the bed and cried like a child.

"That's the best." Ning Cheng smiled freely and said with relief: "Then Ning welcomes you to come to our Chaos City to practice at any time. Just as you gave Ning the green light to go all the way, in the future all the training benefits in Chaos City will also be

Expand it all for you for free.”

The empress stared at Ning Cheng, a smile appeared on her beautiful face, and her eyes seemed to be thickening: "Are you trying to make up for your debt to me?"

Ning Cheng shrugged and said, "If there is no debt, how can we make up for it? It's just a thank you from a friend."

I really don’t know how to describe this complicated and indescribable relationship. The origin of the love between Ning Cheng and the Empress comes from Ning Zun, at least that’s what Ning Cheng thinks.

Including the empress herself thinks so.

But everything I have experienced during this period of time has gradually deteriorated this feeling and turned into a very strange thing.

Perhaps Ning Cheng didn't realize that his inner feelings for the empress were far beyond what an ordinary friend could achieve.

The same is true for the empress. If he only cares about Ning Cheng because of Ning Zun, there is no need to pay so much.

Both of them fell into some strange emotions unconsciously.

It's just that neither of them wants to admit this.

"Thank you very much." The Empress smiled proudly: "There are indeed many things in Chaos City that I, the Shura Realm, need to learn. If possible, I hope that the people in the Shura Realm can practice and study in Chaos City."

"So good!"

Although the Empress did not say it explicitly, Ning Cheng had already assumed that the Empress wanted to join Chaos City.

Once people from the Shura Realm come to study in Chaos City, their relationships will heat up quickly. The Empress cannot fail to know this.

She is using her pride to make the right decision.

"Empress, there is one more thing."

Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's about the avenue."

One day later.

Ning Cheng left the practice room.

No one knew what the empress and Ning Cheng actually communicated and did inside, and Xiao Xia didn't ask, even though Ning Cheng went to find Xiao Xia in person later.

Unfortunately, it was not Xiaoxia who met Ningcheng, but Cao Shuang.

"Xiaoxia said she had to practice and didn't have time to come out." Cao Shuang said softly: "Actually, this little girl also realized that she made a mistake, so she doesn't dare to see you now."

"Then let her reflect and reflect," Ning Cheng said, pretending to be angry: "The Empress is the most powerful person, and she is also the top existence in the wilderness. Regardless of the relationship between me and her, she went to find the Empress single-handedly like this.

, what should I do if something happens?”

Cao Shuang said softly: "Xiaoxia has thought about it seriously, but her temper is too stubborn and she doesn't dare to face you."

Ning Cheng sighed and said, "It's good that you know you were wrong!"

"Ningcheng."

Cao Shuang hesitated before saying, "Xiaoxia also told us about the Empress. She is indeed very pitiful. If possible, I want to become friends with the Empress."

Ning Cheng thought for a while and said: "In a few days, the empress plans to gradually arrange people from the Shura world to our Chaos City. Your own ethnic group also has something in common with Shura. When the time comes, you can go there to learn."

"I think so too." Cao Shuang said with a smile: "The Empress is very powerful. We have heard many legends about her in the wilderness. If I can become someone like her in the future, then I can stand with you.

, maybe it can even protect you."

Seeing Cao Shuang looking at him with some expectancy, Ning Cheng patted Cao Shuang's head gently, followed the smooth long hair and pinched Cao Shuang's earlobe: "Don't be anxious, take your time, practice.

It’s very tiring on the road.”
