Chapter 220: Good
Xingnong blinked her beautiful fox eyes, about to refuse.
Chu Tiankuo held her wrist with a slight force, his eyes gentle and his tone firm: “Don’t think about how to refuse.”
Xingnong: “…”
How could someone be so domineering and not allow her to refuse?!
He probably didn’t know her identity yet.
She was the Princess of Jin Kingdom, and he was the Crown Prince of Chu State.
How could the Crown Prince of one country marry the Princess of another country as his consort?!
Wouldn’t that disrupt the court?
All the civil and military officials would disagree.
Xingnong wanted to say something, but Chu Tiankuo understood her concerns. He raised his other hand, cupped her face, pressed his thumb on her lips to stop her from speaking, and coaxed her softly: “Identity is not a problem, how to marry you is what I need to consider. You don’t have to worry, you don’t have to think about all the external factors, just consider whether I am worthy of your lifelong trust, understand?”
He looked at her, his usually cold eyes brimming with tenderness and persistence.
The man was dressed in armor, extraordinarily handsome. His charming peach blossom eyes reflected a tiny figure, as if the whole world could only hold one person in his eyes.
Was it worth it? If this person was him, of course it was worth it.
What was there to consider?
Wasn’t it just falling in love?
What was there to consider?
Xingnong nodded gently: “Good.”
As soon as the word “good” fell, the man smiled, like the first sun blooming on the top of a snowy mountain!
He smiled and covered her cherry-red lips.
A touch and then separation, very quick, not even a second.
But both of their hearts trembled, throbbing for a long time.
Chu Tiankuo smiled, looking at her without blinking, filled with deep affection, as if he could never get enough of her.
Xingnong’s heart was beating fast, her face burning under his contented gaze. She subconsciously lowered her head: “Well, it’s late, I’m going to sleep.”
Chu Tiankuo held her hand: “Hmm, sleep for a while, the sunrise on the snowy mountain is beautiful, shall we watch it tomorrow?”
He wanted to watch the beautiful scenery of the world with her.
The sunrise on the snowy mountain was indeed magnificent. Xingnong thought that starting tomorrow, he would lead the army back to the capital. If they missed this opportunity, thanks to the backward transportation in this ancient times, she didn’t know when they would be able to see it again.
She was a skiing enthusiast in her previous life, and she even made two pairs of skis and a sled. She thought that after he finished the war, she would see if he had time and take the opportunity to go skiing.
Xingnong didn’t want to sleep, she just wanted to seize the opportunity to ski.
“Okay, let’s go out and find a suitable place for skiing now. After watching the sunrise tomorrow, I want to ski!” As she said that, she immediately walked to the corner, picked up two pairs of skis, motioned for Chu Tiankuo to pick up the sled, and was about to go out.
Chu Tiankuo stopped her: “Don’t rush, sleep for a while first.”
“No need, I’m not sleepy, let’s find a suitable place for skiing first.”
Chu Tiankuo thought that once they went out, they would be in his main tent, and she could rest in his tent if she was sleepy, so he said: “Wear something thicker, it’s cold outside.”
Actually, both of them had Light Body Skill, so even skiing in the dark wasn’t a big problem, at least they could guarantee they wouldn’t get hurt.
Today was her birthday, and it was their first day together, he didn’t want her to be disappointed or regretful.
Anyway, tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, it was impossible to rush back to reunite with family for the New Year, it didn’t make much difference whether they set off early or late.
Chu Tiankuo took out a fur-made Beizi for her to wear.
It was New Year’s now, although it was very cold in Futai County, it wasn’t snowing. Xingnong had just been in the house with a charcoal stove burning, so she was dressed lightly.
“Let’s go!” After putting on a thick coat, Xingnong said impatiently.
“Hmm.”
Before going out, Chu Tiankuo took two more cloaks, which he could put on her if she was cold.

Xingnong stayed in the space, and Chu Tiankuo went out alone. He came to a place where there was no one, and then let Xingnong out of the space.
There was actually nothing much to see on the snowy mountain at night, it was dark and especially cold! Xingnong felt cold even with a cloak on.
But her desire to ski was too strong. If they looked for a place tomorrow morning and couldn’t find one for a while, then the time for skiing would be less.
Chu Tiankuo saw that she insisted on looking even though she was so cold, so he helplessly accompanied her, holding her hand and continuously sending internal energy to her cold little hands, stopping only when her little hands were warm.
Half an hour later, they finally found a place suitable for skiing. This place was also suitable for watching the sunrise on the snowy mountain. After confirming the location, he motioned for her to enter the space, and then he used his Light Body Skill to return to the main tent.
“It’s still three hours until dawn, do you want to sleep in the space or sleep here? It’s convenient for me to wake you up then. The space is more comfortable, why don’t you sleep in the space?”
Chu Tiankuo let her choose.
If she went into the space to sleep, he would sleep outside.
If she slept outside, he would sleep in the space.
There was a rest room in the space with a bed. In the past, he traveled all over the world, and in order to facilitate rest in the wild, he set up a rest room in the space.
Actually, she could go back to her own room in Peach Blossom Village to sleep, but when it was almost dawn, he couldn’t go out to wake her up.
She could enter her own Silver Bead Space, but he couldn’t enter her Gold Bead Space without her taking him.
But if she entered the Silver Bead Space, she couldn’t go out without his thoughts.
Xingnong felt that it was too cold here, so she said: “I’ll sleep in the space.”
“Okay.” With a thought, Chu Tiankuo took Xingnong into the space.
Although there were many things in the space, because the Silver Bead Space seemed to be infinite, Chu Tiankuo separated a temporary rest room behind the bookshelf. Xingnong had seen a door before, and she guessed it was his rest room.
Chu Tiankuo pushed open the door and took Xingnong in: “Have a good rest. I’ll call you when it’s almost dawn.”
Xingnong nodded.
Chu Tiankuo quickly went out, he really didn’t dare to stay too long.
Xingnong looked around and found that the rest room was too luxuriously decorated!
The bed was a carved Babu bed with birds, simple and elegant.
There was even a window?
Xingnong walked over and found it was fake!
It was probably because someone thought that although the rest room had no windows, it felt depressing, so he painted a whole wall white and made a window out of wood. A long table was placed under the window sill, with a vase on the table, and a plum blossom in the vase. It was real, and there was a faint fragrance of plum blossom in the room, very light, if you tried to smell it carefully, you couldn’t smell it.
The window was actually a painting, a painting of a garden, so at first glance, it looked like a garden view outside the window.
If she hadn’t walked closer to look, she would have thought it was real!
It was also because of this fake window that the entire enclosed space instantly felt comfortable and airy.
On the second wall was an antique display shelf, with many exquisite porcelain and jade ornaments on it. There was another space behind the antique display shelf, separated by a folding screen. Xingnong didn’t walk over to look.
There was also a wall with a desk, on which there was a pot of Soul-Soothing Herb and several medical books.
A temporary resting place in a space was decorated so carefully, even more comfortable than her own room. Xingnong admired it for a while, then took off her outer clothes and lay down on the bed.
There was a faint scent of cedar in the quilt, just like the scent on someone’s body, which made people feel at ease.
She soon fell asleep.
