Ziek burst into laughter, a genuine mirth dancing in his eyes. "And what about me?"
Bing Shi's lips formed a thoughtful pout, "My grandson deserves only the best."
With a chuckle, Ziek rose from his seat. "You're absolutely right. I want the Ice Queen of this base." Exiting the tent, his laughter faded, replaced by a pensive expression. 'But I don't want the best. I only want my own Bing Shi.'
Everyone would think that Ziek meant Fu Lian. But in his eyes, it was someone else. If Bing Shi heard his thoughts, she would be surprised. Only Xuan Mu saw her as Ice Queen.
Upon Ziek's return from his travels, he would always see his Queen looking from above, overseeing the realm below to ensure unity among the people. How could a world that was at the brim of extinction changed into a realm of tranquility?
Was this her mission? She attributed her success to Kuro and others, believing she was nothing without them—an ironic twist that amused Ziek.
