This is what villains are like

In the palace, the incense was burning with concentration, and the fragrance was very faint. It evolved into various rare and exotic animals in the mid-air, and there were even shadows of layers of palaces and pavilions.

On the futon, Taoist rhymes are intertwined. Jiang Lan is dressed in white like snow. He sits cross-legged with his eyes closed. His robe moves automatically without wind. The roots of his black hair are crystal clear and sparkling with divine brilliance.

As he swallowed and swallowed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed in like a swarm, so that a roaring sound was made in the void.

If an uninformed person were here, they would think that this was an ancient ferocious beast breathing in the essence of the sun and the moon.

Every breath carries a terrifying movement. If the sun and moon tides, it will almost empty out the surrounding void. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth cannot be replenished, and a vacuum zone is directly formed.

Li Mengning sat quietly and obediently on the side, her hands quietly placed in front of her legs, her posture was very elegant and dignified.

She didn't bother Jiang Lan. Generally speaking, when outsiders were around during practice, they would be awakened immediately.

But Jiang Lan seemed unaware at this time, not because he was too immersed in consciousness and didn't know someone was coming.

But because he noticed that it was Li Mengning's aura, he was not wary of her and felt very relieved.

There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two.

Therefore, Li Mengning remained silent and waited silently for him to finish his practice.

It's just that the waiting time was a bit too long, and the sky outside the hall was gradually getting darker.

During this process, she also tried to meditate and practice, but she soon lost her ability and was really uneasy.

She looked forward, blinking her eyes, and looked at Jiang Lan's face close at hand. Then she thought about it, as if she wanted to try it, and hesitantly stretched out a white and slender finger like peeling onions, and poked. Poke, touch.

Then, as if afraid that Jiang Lan would notice, he hurriedly stretched out his fingers like a thief.

The touch was a little different from what I imagined. It had some warmth, but it was not soft. Instead, it was as hard as the contours of the face.

Li Mengning didn't understand why Jiang Lan always liked to squeeze her face when she wasn't paying attention.

Is it because her face is softer?

She reached out and poked her cheek, feeling the difference between the two strokes.

"What are you doing?"

At this time, Jiang Lan, who had been immersed in practice, finally woke up.

He opened his eyes, looked at Li Mengning in front of him like a thief, and asked in surprise.

Li Mengning put down her fingers, her eyes filled with calmness.

It was only when he looked at it that he looked into the void behind him as if he was a little dissociated, looking guilty.

"My face... my face suddenly felt itchy." She thought of an excuse wittily.

Jiang Lan smiled and followed her words, "I guess he was bitten by a mosquito or something. Come over here and I'll help you take a look."

As he said that, he stood up and moved his hands and feet.

"Now... the itch is gone now." Li Mengning whispered, but she did not struggle and allowed him to hold her in his arms.

"My ears are so red, I must be lying." Jiang Lan smiled.

"No..." Li Mengning was still arrogant.

Jiang Lan reached out and took off the veil she had been wearing, lowered her head, and blocked her harsh words.

How hard your words are, how soft your mouth is.

He understood this deeply.

Li Mengning opened his eyes blankly and struggled symbolically. His eyes were soon filled with mist-like mist, and he became confused, and his hands and feet seemed to have lost their strength.

"Jiang Lan..."

After a while, she was finally able to make a complete voice and remembered her business. She hurriedly stretched out her hand in front of Jiang Lan to prevent him from bullying her any more.

Jiang Lan smiled and asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

"I...I have business." Li Mengning's face was serious.

"This is my business." Jiang Lan still smiled.

"You...you are not serious..." Li Mengning whispered, puffing up her cheeks, and was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to him.

Jiang Lan seemed to stop teasing her and asked, "Is it because of my engagement with Emperor Xia?"

Li Mengning nodded, with unprecedented seriousness, and said, "I want to help you."

"Since father has such an arrangement, it's useless for me to resist. How can you help me and let's elope?" Jiang Lan pinched her soft and fair face.

Because of the word "elope", Li Mengning's head suddenly buzzed, and then she began to think about the feasibility of this matter...

But after the elopement, where did the two escape? Taiyimen? Or go overseas?

A hint of distress suddenly appeared on her face.

"Elopement doesn't seem to work, so what should we do? I don't want to marry that Emperor Xia. What will you do after I marry her?" Jiang Lan seemed to sigh, looking like he had a headache.

"Liar..." Li Mengning suddenly reacted and felt very upset.

Jiang Lan looked at her seriously, hugged her tightly and said, "I'm not lying. I don't want to wrong you."

"My father asked me to marry Emperor Xia. I actually don't care. This is the same as the essence of family marriage, which puts interests first. How can two strangers who have never met each other and have no contact with each other have any feelings? Woolen cloth?"

"You should know me."

Waves of unspeakable emotions emerged in Li Mengning's quiet eyes, and then she whispered, "I...I'm not wronged, I'm just afraid that you will be unhappy."

"The more you say this, the more I don't want you to be wronged..." Jiang Lan sighed. To be honest, he knew that he was hypocritical. He really couldn't treat Li Mengning like a simple tool like the others.

Marrying Emperor Xia is the most critical aspect of his plan. He has been planning and arranging it since shortly after returning to the imperial capital, so his idea will not change in any way, nor will it be swayed by anyone.

But in the future, I really have to find a way to compensate this silly girl.

"Just tell the master and he will let you out." Li Mengning said.

Jiang Lan nodded, but then shook his head and said, "Forget it, what if my father sees my resolute attitude and changes his mind."

Anyway, he didn't plan to meet Emperor Xia before the ceremony. He just wanted to sort out his cultivation and condense the rest of his natal magical powers.

But will Fairy Miaoyin deliver the meteorite as promised?

"All right……"

Li Mengning nodded gently, then said some words to him and left.

After Li Mengning left, Jiang Lan closed his eyes slightly, consciously sensing the changes in Niwan Palace.

Ever since the Emperor of Xia drafted an imperial edict and appointed him Fengjun, the fate of the country of Great Xia has surged like a tidal wave.

During this process, the mysterious ancient vine in Niwan Palace was shaking like a rain after a long drought, absorbing as much luck as possible.

Not only did they sprout out, they sprouted a few new green branches and leaves, which were crystal clear, like green emeralds.

Between a young leaf and the veins of the main stem, a soybean-sized fruit grew, surrounded by a mysterious and misty substance.
