"No, Your Majesty!" Zuo Ling heard the sadness in the counter-words, and hurriedly comforted, "That's your pure heart!" Your pure heart is so precious, so rare. As a monarch, you are not blinded by the world's desire for power, but are willing to give up the country for love, this is a true gentleman! ”

Ma Teng shook his head and laughed at himself: "The princess praised it falsely. If I were so good, Mei'er wouldn't treat me like this. I can't conquer her heart even if I can't conquer her heart, how can it be good? ”

"However, you have won Ling Er's affection, Your Majesty! Isn't Ling'er's love precious? Your Majesty, don't be presumptuous......" In order to comfort Ma Teng, Zuo Ling left all his self-esteem and shyness behind.

Ma Teng stared at Zuo Ling gratefully and said, "Thank you, Princess Lingxiang, thank you for your affection, thank you for your love." But my heart is so tired. In the future, I will love you like my own sister, okay? Can I call you Ling'er? ”

Zuo Ling lowered his head sadly, tears flowed down his eyes, and after calming down his sadness for a long time, he barely wiped away his tears, raised his eyes and stared at Ma Teng and nodded: "Okay, in the future, Ling'er will call you 'Brother Ma', you and I are commensurate with brother and sister." Ling Er was really happy, although she had lost her royal brother and queen mother, she was able to recognize a big brother, and she felt that she had something to rely on since then. Thank you, Brother Ma. ”

Ma Teng comforted, "I'm sorry, Ling'er. It's not that you're bad, but you look at Brother Ma's current person who doesn't look like a human, a ghost doesn't look like a ghost, and he has a strange poison in his body, how dare he accept you? I don't know when my life is over. And you, I believe, Mei'er will definitely find a way to save you out. You're still young, don't compromise easily, find a way out. You know what? ”

"No," Zuo Ling shook his head desperately, his voice choked, "Where Brother Ma is, Ling'er is there." Since Ling Er is commensurate with Brother Ma's brother and sister, she has to be together through thick and thin. ”

"Sharing weal and thin?" Ma Teng chewed these four words playfully, "I'm afraid that there will only be bitterness in the future, not sweetness." ”

"No, it won't. Even if there was no 'Gan' before, since I came, there will be 'Gan'. Zuo Ling's eyes were shining, as long as she could be alone with Ma Teng, hell would become heaven for her.

"Ling'er, look at me like this, it's worth your ......"

"Wait, Brother Ma, I'll go get water to help you scrub." After Zuo Ling finished speaking, he looked around.

As soon as Ma Teng heard that he was scrubbed, his eyes immediately lit up with joy.

There were no containers, only a large broken bowl for Ma Teng to eat. Zuo Ling tore a piece of skirt as a towel, scooped up hot spring water from the hot spring over and over again, and asked Ma Teng to scrub it. Face and arms, Zuo Ling, who can do it for him, helps. Where it is too secret to do it for him, Ma Teng himself will do it.

This time the bath was long enough, and the years in the cave, I don't know day and night, I only know that after washing for several hours, Ma Teng finally regained his former cleanliness and freshness.

Ma Teng's hair, Zuo Ling also helped him untie it, and after washing it, he dried it and then tied it again. Cutting your beard and nails is more laborious.

Fortunately, Zuo Ling carried a short blade of bone teeth with him, which was also as sharp as clay, but it was only used to cut his beard and nails, which was not as convenient as scissors. Therefore, it was also extremely laborious, and it took two hours to complete this great project.

After cleaning and tidying up, Ma Teng finally showed a bright smile like the sun that he had not seen for a long time, and said: "Sure enough, after having Ling'er, life is "sweet" even if it is hard. ”

Zuo Ling heard the praise and smiled like a peach. Yes, after meeting Ma Teng again, her calm heart that planned to devote herself to cultivation was also completely disturbed.

"Somehow, I'm going to thank the man who robbed me of being here. It was because of her that Ling Er was able to reunite with Brother Ma, and she was so happy. ”

Happy? In this kind of place where the light of day will never be seen, Zuo Ling actually felt happy, and Ma Teng was deeply moved. He finally believed that the delicate young woman in front of him really liked him.
