Liuli was startled. However, she quickly sensed the aura of the Ocean Barrier Pearl coming from Nalan Rung. She recalled that this girl was the little girl who saved her from the beach that year. In the past, Aunt Bifei had implanted the Ocean Barrier Pearl within the body of her savior as a form of repaynt. Moreover, Aunt Bifei erased her mory about the incident.
Liuli rembered that Long Yi once told her the identity of the girl who saved her. In the blink of an eye, that little girl in the past had already grown into such a beautiful young lady. However, her eyes were still filled with the familiar kindness and intelligence she had in the past.
“This is my first ti coming to Blue Moon City. I don’t think we t before.” Liuli didn’t tell Nalan Rung the entire truth. However, her feelings for Nalan Rung beca cordial all of a sudden.
“Is that so? That’s strange... I think I t big sister before.” Nalan Rung tilted her head to one side and she seed to be sowhat disappointed.
“Could it be that you saw Liuli in your dreams?” Long Yi smiled and flicked Nalan Rung’s little nose.
Nalan Rung hissed in pain and wanted to protest. However, she seed to have thought of sothing and she yelled in shock, “That’s right! In my dreams, I saw big sister in my dreams!”
Long Yi found this sowhat funny and humored her, “Okay, don’t stir up trouble now. We’ll go for lunch after buying Liuli so clothes.”
“Brother-in-law, I am not joking. I have dreamt of this big sister many tis now. Although her appearance was sowhat fuzzy, I definitely saw her. In addition to this big sister, there seed to be a blue haired aunt beside her.” Nalan Rung urgently defended herself. Although she was that it was in a dream, Long YI and Liuli knew that she wasn’t dreaming.
Long Yi and Liuli looked at each other. They finally realized that Nalan Rung wasn’t lying when she said she rembered. It seed as though Bifei wasn’t thorough enough when erasing the mory of Nalan Rung.
“Okay, okay, I believe you. Since you dreamt of Liuli, it shows that you two were brought together by fate. Now, help Liuli buy so clothing. Co over here and give her so suggestions.” Long Yi said with a smile.
“Well, okay......” Nalan Rung happily exclaid and grabbled Liuli’s hand.
First of all, it was natural for Nalan Rung to help Liuli choose a pair of underwear. The mont Nalan Rung chose sothing, Long Yi imdiately realized that it was a bad idea for him to let Nalan Rung choose. This little girl’s taste was completely different from the big pervert, Long Yi. As a result, the selection process beca very amusing.
After they finally managed to choose a pair of underwear, they went to other places to get so clothes. Liuli was very energetic when roaming around the streets. Although the temperature was unusually high, she was still in high spirits. There was no need to talk about Nalan Rung. She was a little girl who had an abundance of energy. Since this was the first ti Liuli ca to a human city, she felt as though everything was fresh. In addition to Nalan Rung who was chattering continuously beside her, Liuli forgot about being tired.
As for Dongfang Kexin, she had been following behind Long Yi without uttering a single word. She also didn’t know the reason why she listened to Long Yi. Her heart seed to have stopped listening to her commands. She wanted to flee, however, she walked step by step into this heart-breaking and bone-corroding vortex. Currently, her heart was sinking further into the vortex and she hated herself.
In the beginning, Nalan Rung would still show so concern to Dongfang Kexin. She would speak to Dongfang Kexin from ti to ti. However, seeing as Dongfang Kexin was unwilling to answer her, she no longer talked to her. She focused on window shopping with Liuli.
When noon arrived, the temperature reached its peak. Nalan Rung rubbed her hand on her flat stomach and she mimicked Niur’s voice and she complained, “Brother-in-law, hungry......”
Niur who was sleeping in Long Yi’s bosom imdiately woke up when she heard the word, ‘hungry’. Rubbing her eyes which were half-closed, she cried out in her immature voice, “Father, hungry......”
When they saw that Niur was awake at the ntion of food, Nalan Rung and Liuli chuckled continuously. After that, the entire group walked towards Bright Moon Restaurant while laughing and chatting. Only Dongfang Kexin who was following behind everyone felt as though she didn’t belong here.
Fortunately, Bright Moon Restaurant had a magic air conditioning device. After entering the luxurious private room with cold air surrounding them, they drank a cup of iced herbal tea to quench their thirst. All of a sudden, they felt as though this place was like heaven.
After that, Long Yi left the private room after pointing at the nu on the table.
“Young Master, this is the latest news that ca from Yatesianna. The other tube contains the news from Soaring Dragon City.” In the secret room of Bright Moon Restaurant, the manager respectfully handed over two sealed bamboo tubes to Long Yi.
Long Yi casually undid the seals and opened the content inside the bamboo tubes. After reading them, Long Yi’s expression changed. With a single thought, everything in his hand was reduced to ashes.
The first secret report wrote about the great victory against Yatesianna. The allied forces, with the help of Kobold Clan, attacked the defending army of the Proud Moon Empire from two sides. They easily broke through the third defense line. In that battle, the famous general from the Proud Moon Empire, General Qina, committed suicide and died for his country. At this mont, the allied army was sweeping through the border of Proud Moon Empire as they pressed on towards the capital city of Proud Moon Empire, Ice Wind City.
This was the best news Long Yi received in the past few months. They were finally able to obtain victory in that long-drawn-out war at the Yatesianna defense line. Although the price they paid wasn’t small, the price was worth it after considering everything. That was because the mont Yatesianna fell, the end of the Proud Moon Empire was around the corner.
On the contrary, the secret report which ca from Soaring Dragon City was not good. He was not happy with the situation over there. The Xin Clan and the imperial Long Clan had already reached the feverish level. All the pretense had been dropped and they were bitterly struggling against each other. Currently, both sides were suppressing each other with all the ans available to them. It didn’t matter if they used fair or foul ans against each other. The situation in Soaring Dragon City was uncertain and left Long Yi jittery.
However, the most important matter Long Yi learned from that secret report was that the Violent Dragon Empire’s Emperor, Long Zhan, had already assud a semi-retired attitude. Long Ying had full authority to manage everything. The personnel from Skynet Intelligence already had reliable information that Long Ying wanted to forcibly recall all the troops which were fighting against the Proud Moon Empire.
Although the Violent Dragon Legion was a private army owned by the Xin Clan, the Xin Clan had yet to infiltrate deeply into the other major legions. In addition, many rumors that were unfavorable towards the Xin Clan had appeared on the streets. The hired thugs were parading around censuring the Xin Clan for wanting to seize power. If the Xin Clan didn’t honor this decree, Long Zhan would have a reason to denounce them. When seizing power, the right ti, right geographical, and social conditions were necessary. The mont they lost the trust of the people, it would be difficult to achieve great matters.
Moreover, Long Yi found it strange for Long Zhan to be lurking behind the scenes. Although he claid that he was feeling unwell, Long Yi knew that Long Zhan had always been healthy and strong. It shouldn’t be any problem for him to live for another five to six decades. When Long Zhan decided to hide behind the scenes, Long Yi thought that there was so kind of sche behind it.
After thinking for a long ti, Long Yi shook his head and sighed. It seed like it was ti for him to leave Blue Moon City. The current situation didn’t allow him to stay here any longer.
Returning to the private room, Long Yi already had a smile on his face. Although he was anxious in his heart, he didn’t show it at all.
After drinking and eating to their heart’s content, Long Yi stood up with Liuli and Nalan Rung. They were about to return to the imperial palace. There was sothing he wanted to discuss with Nalan Ruyue as he thought of a plan while eating.
“Cou... cousin.” When they were about to leave, Dongfang Kexin gritted her teeth and called out.
Long Yi turned around and said with a smile, “What’s the matter?”
The rapidly beating heart and complex expression Dongfang Kexin had begun to gradually calm down. Taking a deep breath, she had a calm expression as she said, “No, I just wanted to prove sothing.”
Long Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, “Then, what is the conclusion?”
“Conclusion...... It is for to know. You don’t need to know about it.” Dongfang Kexin seed to be relieved. The pent-up resentnt on her forehead had already dispersed. After answering Long Yi, she waved her hand and disappeared into the horizon. As for what she figured out, only she knew.
After they entered the imperial palace, Nalan Rung pulled Liuli as they explored every inch of the palace. As for Long Yi who was carrying Niur, he went towards the sleeping quarters of Nalan Ruyue.
Nalan Ruyue was out. She was probably in her study, doing her work. Since she assud the position of Empress, she often stayed up late to deal with the governnt affairs. New policies had just been established and the chaos had just died down. As a result, she had many things to do.
Long Yi gently placed the sleeping Niur on the bed before he walked towards Nalan Ruyue’s study.
He gently pushed open the door of the study and saw Nalan Ruyue dressed in her magnificent empress attire as she went through the huge pile of reports beside her throne. She looked sowhat haggard and her eyes were also a little bloodshot. It was obvious that she hadn’t been resting properly on these few days.
Long Yi felt remorseful as he looked at Nalan Ruyue. This empire could also be considered his. However, he dumped everything to Nalan Ruyue and he beca a hands-off husband [1].
[1] hands-off husband: sobody who asks other to work but does nothing himself
Long Yi’s figure flashed and he quietly stood behind Nalan Ruyue. He reached his hand out towards her head.
When his hand ca into contact with Nalan Ruyue’s head, her body subconsciously tightened. However, she slled the familiar scent coming from Long Yi’s body and she relaxed.
“Are you tired?” Long Yi softly said as he used internal force to massage her head. In the past, it was always his won who gave him massages. However, this ti, he was the one massaging his woman.
Nalan Ruyue closed her eyes and leaned back onto Long Yi’s chest. She enjoyed Long Yi’s head massage. She lightly crooned in agreent as she knew that she didn’t need to hide anything from him.
“Then, do you resent your husband?” Long Yi asked as he bent over to kiss her head.
Nalan Ruyue shook her head and said, “I am most willing. The Nalan Empire is the empire where I grew up. I want to manage it well and let everyone live a prosperous life.”
Long Yi gently smiled and he lowered his hands to hug her neck. Kissing her ear, he whispered, “But, this empire is mine... Don’t you feel any resentnt towards ?”
“Since it is yours, I want to manage it even more diligently. Oh, by the way, do you have sothing to say to ?” Nalan Ruyue was an extrely sensitive person. She quickly realized that Long Yi had sothing on his mind.
“I am thinking to leave Blue Moon City in next few days......” Long Yi said.
Nalan Ruyue’s body instantly stiffened and her body resembled a wooden puppet. With chanical movents, she turned around to look at him.
