"Sister Lingyin, I really didn't mean to lie to you. I have my reasons. If I did, I would be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Lingyin was kind and pure by nature. She softened her heart immediately after hearing Qin Ming's oath.
She raised her eyes slightly, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Then how...how did you escape the purge?"
Qin Ming's expression immediately became sad.
He started his powerful ability to make up stories again.
"Sister Lingyin, do you know that I have six brothers in my family? Some of them died of starvation or freezing, and some were killed by strange beasts. I am the only one left to carry on the family line.
When I came to the imperial city, I sold everything in my family, even the pot, and collected sixty taels of silver.
I secretly used the money to pay for it when I was in the cleansing room!"
"But! Qin Ming, if you are found out like this, you will be sentenced to death."
"So Sister Lingyin, you have to keep it a secret for me."
"I... I can't hide it from the eldest princess. I have been with her for eight years, and I have to report everything to her."
Qin Ming stood up from the bucket in a flash.
The clear water flowed down his strong and muscular muscles.
This made Lingyin, who was standing in front of him, blush and burn.
"Sister Lingyin, if you tell anyone, I will definitely die, and my whole family will die too. If you don't tell anyone..."
Lingyin lowered her head and said shyly, "What if I don't tell anyone?"
Qin Ming mustered up his courage and stretched out his strong arms to hug Lingyin into his arms.
Frightened, Lingyin trembled all over and quickly slapped Qin Ming with her arms.
"Sister Lingyin, if you don't tell anyone, I will treat you well in this life!"
"Qin Ming, let me go."
Lingyin gently patted Qin Ming's chest with her arms.
"Sister Lingyin, since you helped me when I entered the palace that day, I, Qin Ming, have made up my mind to treat you well in this life and be grateful.
That's why when you were sick, I went to get coal for you regardless of the danger, and was almost killed by Shizuka."
When she said this, Lingyin's heart softened instantly.
She stopped slapping Qin Ming's hand.
Lingyin lowered her head and spoke softly like a mosquito.
"I... I promised to keep it a secret for you, let me go.
There are always demon-suppressing guards in the yard. If you are discovered, you will die."
Qin Ming loosened his hands.
Ling Yin wanted to run away shyly, but was grabbed by Qin Ming's arm again.
"Sister Ling Yin, I will make money and practice hard.
After making money, I will redeem you and marry you!
After practicing, I will protect you and give you happiness."
Ling Yin's heart was pounding.
She broke free from Qin Ming's arms and ran out of the room!
Qin Ming took a deep breath and quickly got out of the bathtub to put on his clothes.
How lucky! Fortunately, it was Ling Yin who found it this time.
If it was anyone else, he would have died!
...
Ling Yin's heart was still beating fast when she returned to the room.
She sat on the chair with her hands tightly clasped together.
She recalled the scene she saw when she changed Qin Ming's clothes.
She was stunned at that time!
It was the first time she had seen him since she was a child!
What made her even more nervous was that the cute rabbit was right at the door.
Lingyin used clothes to cover Qin Ming's clothes.
She had actually made up her mind at that time: to help Qin Ming keep it a secret.
She didn't want to see this handsome, kind and humorous fellow villager die like this.
She was originally uneasy and always doubted whether it was right to do this?
But just now, when Qin Ming held her in his arms, when his strong arms and strong muscles hugged her.
Lingyin felt inexplicably satisfied!
She lost her father at a young age and was abused by her mother and sent to the palace.
She never knew what it felt like to be cared for and cared about.
And when Qin Ming entered the palace, the beam of light in her palm that was difficult to control calmed down a lot!
Prove that he and she are destined to be together!
He said he would be good to me in the future, so he shouldn't be lying to me, right?
Am I, Lingyin, worthy of being loved?
Thinking of this, Lingyin's heart was slightly happy.
...
Qin Ming was preparing to practice.
He suddenly heard a noise coming from the window.
As soon as he opened the window, the white weasel was squatting outside.
Its green eyes turned left and right.
Its two little paws were clasped in front of its chest, as if it was very cold.
Qin Ming remembered that the weasel had killed Xiao Liuzi a few days ago and covered up his identity for him. It should be very spiritual.
Qin Ming has always been a grateful person.
He put the weasel into his room without saying a word.
"It's warm here. There's a charcoal fire. Come in and hide."
The weasel with white hair seemed very happy and rolled around in the quilt.
Qin Ming sat on the other side of the bed and watched for a long time.
Why couldn't Sister Lingyin see such a real weasel that day?
It's strange!
There are too many mysteries in this world!
So far, except for seeing so many beautiful young ladies, everything else is a mystery!
Qin Ming opened the Heaven Locking Gourd. He already had 80 points of luck.
Great, he can draw twice! [Consume 40 points of luck, draw successfully, get 1 Da Li Wan] [Da Li Wan: a second-level pill that can improve strength, endurance, and blood] This is a good thing!
After taking it, his endurance will be too strong, and 1v10 is no problem. [Consume 40 points of luck, draw successfully, get the Heaven-Slashing Sword Art] [Heaven-Slashing Sword Art: a Xuan-level intermediate technique, with the power to cut through the sky and break the sea]
This technique sounds awesome. It just so happens that the eldest princess gave him a Blood-Falling Sword today, and he will practice it later to see the effect.
Qin Ming sat cross-legged and began to absorb spiritual power. He continued to practice the Turtle Breathing Spirit Art.
Two hours later.
The Turtle Breathing Technique was finally perfected.
Qin Ming's speed, vision, hearing, and perception all doubled.
It felt as though he could hear the sound of snowflakes falling outside.
He felt as though he could hear Lingyin turning over in her bed.
This is amazing!
At this moment, his vital energy surged to the point of breaking through.
Without saying a word, Qin Ming popped a Strength Pill into his mouth!
In an instant, powerful spiritual energy quickly flowed throughout his body.
He felt an inexhaustible amount of strength coursing through him!
Qin Ming clenched his fists, and his aura surged once again!
The second level of Body Tempering Realm! He finally broke through!
According to the cultivation standards of this world, Qin Ming's speed was nothing short of extraordinary.
He felt a burning heat all over his body.
The effects of the Strength Pill were incredibly powerful.
If he were on Earth, at this moment, he would definitely be taking a taxi to his girlfriend's place!
