I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration! Chapter 328 - 250: A Family United

The sunset was dazzling, the spring breeze blew, raising the light hem of Rong Baoyi’s dress, and lifted a few strands of her soft hair.

For a mont, the scene was sowhat silent.

After a long while, Rong Baoyi finally asked back, "Since you liked , why didn’t you say it before?"

Jiu’s delicate, bun-shaped face turned as red as a ripe honey peach. He looked deeply at Rong Baoyi’s valiant yet charming face for a while, then stamred:

"I, I just... I’m just a Hidden Guard. I’m of the Xiao Family, I might have to live my whole life hiding my identity, while you’re a noble County Princess, Prince Rui’s daughter, and—"

"Does it matter what I am? Jiu, I only know that I like you, and unless you don’t like , there’s nothing else that can make give up." Baoyi interrupted him, speaking earnestly.

"Do you think in your heart, I’m just a County Princess who only values social status?"

"No! The County Princess is the best girl in my heart, I just... It’s precisely because of this, that I feel even more unworthy of you." Jiu’s eyes dimd as he spoke softly.

Rong Baoyi frowned and was about to leave, pulling on her white horse with a humph:

"Fine, then I’ll go to the Southern Border this ti, to find Brother Tang Zhan. He liked when we were kids, and he’s surely still fond of now. I’ll find him and marry him, I will marry—"

Before she could finish, Jiu tightly embraced her.

His voice was very low, whispering in her ear, "County Princess, I... I’ve said it, Prince Rui is fine, he’s on his way back to the capital secretly, you’ll see him soon, there’s no need to go to the Southern Border, nor to find Tang Zhan."

"That’s different. Going to the Southern Border has nothing to do with whether Dad is in trouble or not. I want to lead troops to war, beco a female general, and since Dad is returning to the capital, then I must go to Yinzhou even more. I want to guard the city gates, I promised the Princess to help Young Master Gu. I want to see Young Master Gu and Fifth Young Master Rong loving and affectionate, I want Tang Zhan to marry !"

Rong Baoyi felt more and more justified as she spoke, and her tone beca increasingly confident.

This Southern Border, she was definitely going there.

"No, no way, you can’t marry Tang Zhan." Jiu murmured, his hot breath falling on Rong Baoyi’s ear, making her blush.

"Why not? You won’t be with , but you want to control who I am with?" Rong Baoyi bit her lip and questioned angrily, her eyes flickering with a trace of tears.

"Just no!" Jiu said hoarsely.

"Xiao Jiu, you owe a reasonable explanation!" Rong Baoyi said angrily.

"I... I will be with you! I will marry you! County Princess Changle, I, will marry you."

Jiu closed his eyes and finally spoke the words he had in his heart.

Rong Baoyi couldn’t help but release the reins of the horse.

She blinked, blushed, stood on tiptoe, and carefully pecked Jiu’s cheek.

"Alright."

Jiu’s breathing hitched for a mont, his heart raced like never before.

He had always thought he would live his life wandering in the dark, never imagined the sun in the sky would bestow its grace upon him.

The girl he liked, kissed him.

Jiu regained his senses, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly.

He gazed deeply at the bright-eyed, white-toothed girl in front of him, gently cupping her cheeks with both hands, the distance between them getting closer and closer.

Their foreheads touched lightly, intertwining their breaths.

Even the black and white horses beside them seed to shyly trot around.

In a fleeting mont, Jiu felt sothing amiss around them and stopped his movent.

But Rong Baoyi hadn’t noticed anything, she tugged at his collar, her refreshing and cool kiss fell on his lips.

In an instant, Jiu felt his heart soften.

That gentle peck, like the budding willow leaves of a spring day, fresh and tender, waking you yet pulling you into its depths.

"Wait... wait a mont—" Jiu said in a low voice.

The sound of horse hooves seed to grow louder, approaching from afar.

Rong Baoyi frowned, "What’s wrong?"

"Do you hear anything... like..."

Rong Baoyi whispered, "Perhaps it’s my heartbeat."

Her heartbeat had never raced this fast before!

The next mont, a deafening shout ca.

"Beast! Let go of my daughter!"

Rong Baoyi felt like she was dreaming,

otherwise,

how could she hear her father’s voice?

Imdiately, Jiu let go of her, looked behind her with a stiff expression, his mouth twitching slightly.

Rong Baoyi turned her head and saw a face as pale as if it were crumbling, burning with rage, hair bristling, seething with anger.

This face, despite the disguise, was vaguely recognizable as her father, Rong Shuo.

Rong Baoyi: "Father?"

Jiu: "Prince——"

Xie Yun: "County Princess?"

Xiao Qi: "Xiao Jiu?"

The last one was Xiao Qi, one of the only three survivors among the Death Warriors of the Xiao Family back then.

Xiao Qi was the youngest, apart from Jiu, and had lived in the Southern Border with Su Yi since childhood, only passing information in the shadows, and had not seen Jiu for many years.

A gust of spring wind blew through the lush trees, making them rustle and giving the people’s complexions a colorful display.

Xie Yun and Xiao Qi stood together, shivering like spectators of a drama.

Rong Shuo dismounted, suppressing his heaving chest, and backwardly drew Xiao Qi’s saber, staggering towards Jiu.

"Beast! I will kill you!"

Xiao Qi quickly hugged Prince Rui’s arm: "No, it’s not... You’re no longer a prince!"

Rong Shuo: "..."

Xie Yun glanced around and, finding they were surrounded by Rong Heng’s n, hurriedly said: "Prince, calm down, prince, um... County Princess, why are you here? Did you co to pick us up? This is quite far for a pickup, huh."

Only then did Rong Baoyi explain that she had followed Gu Lan’s example to leave the capital and head to the Southern Border, and Jiu had followed her here.

Coincidentally, Rong Shuo and Xie Yun were returning to the capital and unexpectedly ran into them.

Rong Shuo reluctantly cald down, suppressing the urge to stab Jiu with a knife, looked at his daughter, nearly shedding tears.

It was only then that he took a close look at Jiu, the more he looked, the more familiar he seed.

"Do you know each other?" Rong Shuo turned to Xiao Qi, trying hard to recall, "You called him Xiao Jiu? Xiao Jiu, Jiu... you are the little eunuch who followed around the Fifth Prince!"

Jiu nodded respectfully: "Yes, it’s , prince, it’s an honor you rember ."

Xiao Qi secretly gave him a thumbs up, silently saying: "Impressive, brother, being a eunuch and still with the County Princess, ambitious!"

Rong Shuo raised the knife again, his eyes turning red as he growled: "I absolutely forbid my daughter to be with a eunuch! No way, I must kill you today!"

Xiao Qi quickly stopped him again.

Rong Baoyi spread her arms, standing between Rong Shuo and Jiu, speaking firmly with every word:

"What of a eunuch or a commoner? Father, I don’t care about these things. I like him, love him, he respects , loves , and we’ll be happy together, that’s enough! Since your daughter has already been reviled as a renegade by the world, enlisting in the army, then why can’t she marry a eunuch."

Though her tone was gentle, it carried firmness, making Rong Shuo’s expression even worse.

He knew what kind of character his daughter had, seemingly gentle and sensible, yet actually stubborn to the point of not turning back until hitting a wall; he didn’t know who she took after!

Jiu looked at Rong Baoyi in a daze, his hands clenching into fists, his thin lips pressing into a line.

"Baoyi, don’t be obstinate! Enlisting is an act of a heroine who rivals n, others may not understand, but father does. Father never thought you renegade but sees you as his pride, that’s why father wants to give you the best husband, not let you settle with a eunuch."

Rong Shuo tightened his grip on the knife, speaking earnestly.

Rong Baoyi shook her head, her red lips gently parting:

"Since father can understand my enlisting in the army, why can’t you understand Jiu’s identity? He’s endured so much hardship since childhood, yet he’s never blad the world because of his identity. He can bring joy to your daughter to the fullest, and he can also—"

At this mont, Jiu stepped forward and firmly grasped Rong Baoyi’s hand.

"Jiu, you?" Rong Baoyi looked at the young boy’s handso side face in confusion.

The words that were once difficult to say and at a loss now seed unimportant because the girl he loved was so brave; how could he let her face the storm alone.

"There’s sothing I’ve never known how to say, but I want to tell the County Princess now, and also Prince."

He gazed at Rong Baoyi with intense eyes, his words firm and calm.

"Xiao Jiu, an origin from the Hidden Guard of the Xiao Family, the eunuch Jiu of the past has long died, I am a complete man."
