TFWYH – Chapter 770 Marrying a Chicken, Following the Chicken

“Your Majesty, my sister behaved rudely and caused offense. I will speak to her properly afterward. Please do not hold it against her,” Kui Ni quickly said upon seeing the situation.

The Emperor merely nodded.

Only then did Kui Ni hurry after his sister.

Ling Shang pursed his lips and quietly returned to his seat.

His eyes were lowered, and no one knew what he was thinking. He did not even glance at Tang Wan.

Tang Wan, on the other hand, looked at him several times.

The Doctor she remembered had always been calm and detached from worldly affairs. He would never act so rashly, nor would he stir up trouble without discussing it with her first.

Was this person really the Doctor?

“Is he that handsome?”

Seeing her continuously staring at Ling Shang, Ling Yu asked sourly.

Tang Wan came back to her senses and shook her head.

“I just think he resembles someone I used to know… but at the same time, he doesn’t.”

After pondering for a moment, Ling Yu asked,

“The one who could recite the United Nations Charter?”

Tang Wan nodded.

Ling Yu fell silent again.

After a long while, he asked softly,

“If he really is that person, will you go back to Feng Nation with him?”

Tang Wan blinked in confusion.

“Why would I go back with him?”

Lowering his eyes, Ling Yu looked rather pitiful.

“You are Feng Nation’s Crown Heir… Sooner or later, you’ll have to leave.”

Tang Wan frowned.

“I think I already made myself very clear just now. I am your wife. I married you. A married woman follows her husband wherever he goes. Wherever you are is my home.”

Hearing this, Ling Yu raised his head, his eyes full of hope.

“So… you won’t leave me, right?”

“Of course not.”

Tang Wan thought the question was rather silly.

Although she was curious about Feng Nation and longed to see it someday, she had never imagined abandoning her husband and going alone.

Even if she went in the future, it would be after Ling Yu had the time, and they could travel there together.

Tang Wan’s vision was wonderfully simple.

And that was understandable.

She knew what an Empress was, and she understood the concepts of multiple husbands and consorts, but she had never lived in such an environment.

To her, all people were equal regardless of status.

Love was not about harems or multiple spouses—it was about lifelong devotion to one person.

Even if she truly became Empress one day, Ling Yu would still be her only husband.

Ling Yu, however, thought much further ahead.

With Tang Wan possessing such an identity, she would inevitably return to Feng Nation one day.

Detaining the rightful heir of another empire—who knew what their Empress might do?

Still, these matters could wait.

At the very least, before understanding Feng Nation’s true strength, they could not act rashly.

What worried him most now…

Thinking of this, Ling Yu turned his gaze toward Ling Shang.

As though sensing the look, Ling Shang lifted his eyes and smiled at him.

Yet there was not the slightest hint of warmth in that smile.

Ling Yu narrowed his eyes dangerously and quietly took hold of Tang Wan’s hand, silently asserting his claim.

Ling Shang responded with a cold smile before turning his gaze away.

…

The person chosen to test the Poison-Averting Pearl was a servant who had committed a crime.

Though, truthfully, in this era, whether he was a condemned criminal or not made little difference. The powerful rarely placed much value on ordinary lives.

The experiment was simple and swift.

Ji Wushuang ordered someone to force-feed the prisoner crane-top red poison.

Moments later, the poison took effect.

The prisoner coughed up blood, collapsed to the ground, and ceased moving.

At that moment, Ling Shang placed the Poison-Averting Pearl against the man’s chest.

Then something miraculous occurred.

The pearl’s milky-white glow deepened, becoming nearly as bright as a luminous pearl.

The prisoner, who had been writhing in agony, gradually regained color in his face.

His struggles ceased, and he lay still as though peacefully asleep.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

Slowly, the prisoner opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.

Having witnessed this miracle firsthand, the officials were utterly exhilarated.

Every pair of eyes fixed upon the Poison-Averting Pearl with burning desire.

The Emperor himself was no exception.
