Chapter 461: The little lolita's spring scenery

Dry Bones left. When he left, he took Bite Xiuge's undead magic manual and notes. He also took the Extra Dimensional Undead Summoning Magic given to him by Long Yi.

Extra Dimensional Undead Summoning Magic was a great undead magic spell. Long Yi believed that with Dry Bones' talent, he would definitely be able to combine the Extra Dimensional Undead Summoning Magic with traditional undead magic. He would be able to reach a higher level with knowledge of the spell.

"Do you trust me so much? I saw between you and Dry Bones…." Mu Hanyan asked Long Yi with a smile the moment Dry Bones disappeared.

"Of course I trust you. You are my woman. I have no reason to not believe in you…" Long Yi grinned and pulled Mu Hanyan's little hand.

A trace of strange luster flashed through her eyes. Gently retracting her hand, Mu Hanyan sighed, "It's already late, I should be going. You should go back to the imperial palace to accompany your princess…"

Long Yi noticed that something was wrong with Mu Hanyan, however, his expression didn't change at all. He still had a smirk on his face as he looked at Mu Hanyan in the eye. Grabbing her small hands, he looked at her with an intoxicated gaze. With a soft voice, he pacified her, "In my eyes, you are also my princess."

Mu Hanyan slightly trembled and a layer sweat of appeared on her palm. She replied Long Yi with a smile on her face, "Don't flatter me. Set aside your sweet words and honeyed phrases for other women, I am leaving." After speaking, she retracted her hand and rode on Bai Yu's back. She instantly disappeared into the horizon,

The smile on Long Yi's face slowly disappeared and his eyes glimmered with a hint of an intriguing smile. Whether Mu Hanyan was an enemy or a friend, he simply didn't care. He believed that she would willingly become his woman in the end.

As it wasn't early anymore, Long Yi started his trip back to the imperial palace.

Would Yinyin be sleeping together with Ruyue again? If… If they were, they would be giving me the invitation to eat them up. Long Yi had some wicked thoughts in his head. Yinyin's body was really not bad… The feeling he had when he squeezed her ** was also the first rate.

When he was lost in his licentious thoughts, a whistling sound came from behind him and a milky white light beam shot towards him in a surprise attack. The light instantly interrupted his thoughts. Long Yi looked up and saw Dongfang Kexin wearing a red priest robe floating not far away from him. She was giving him a cold gaze with her beautiful eyes.

"Kexin, why are you looking for me so late at night? What do you want? How about we go to the imperial palace and have a cup of tea? I think your cousin-in-law will be very happy to see you." Long Yi said with a smile as he returned Dongfang Kexin's gaze. Honestly speaking, he was truly unaccustomed to Dongfang Kexin's sudden change in behavior.

"Shut up! That evil necromancer I was chasing just a moment ago, did you save him?" Dongfang Kexin snapped impatiently. She had an annoyed expression when she looked at Long Yi.

"I saw that necromancer and I also saw that someone was attacking the innocent in the name of the Light Church. As for who saved him, everyone with eyes would be able to see. Why on earth would you think that I saved him?" Long Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with a slight smile.

"Who was attacking the innocent in the name of the Light Church?" Dongfang Kexin glared at Long Yi with her beautiful eyes. Although there wasn't any killing intent in her eyes, Long Yi could feel the bone-piercing chill behind her gaze. She clearly cared about this issue.

"You know who I am talking about, cousin Kexin." Long Yi smiled at Dongfang Kexin, completely ignoring the coldness she emitted. Originally, he was somewhat happy because Dongfang Kexin would not pester him any longer. However, when he saw Dongfang Kexin's current appearance, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"Do you mean me? How can I attack the innocent in the name of the Light Church?" Dongfang Kexin firmly held onto her magic staff. She had already made up her mind to pursue the matter. She won't allow Long Yi to get away without explaining himself.

"Then, on the beach, there was a person who didn't care about the life of that little girl. Wasn't that you?" Long Yi got closer to Dongfang Kexin with a smirk on his face. He walked closer to her and he could smell the delicate fragrance coming from her body.

Dongfang Kexin wanted to retreat immediately. However, she thought that Long Yi would believe that she retreated because she was afraid of him. She endured the restlessness and nervous feeling welling up in her heart and she didn't move a single muscle. However, the fluctuation in her eyes showed that the effect Long Yi had on her was still present somewhere deep in her heart.

"Of course not. Not killing that necromancer will result in more people getting hurt. I just want to save more people." Dongfang Kexin righteously said and a layer of sparkling light shone around her body. Even though she appeared to be acting for the sake of saving more people, and the white light made her look holy, Long Yi felt disgusted when he looked at her.

"How do you even know that that necromancer is evil? How do you know that he will kill even more people? Did you catch him in the act of killing people?" Long Yi watched Dongfang Kexin with an intense stare when he fired off multiple questions at her.

"Every single necromancer is an evil person. They should be killed on sight without pardon." Dongfang Kexin slightly avoided Long Yi's gaze. For some unknown reason, she wasn't confident when she answered Long Yi.

"What a joke. That is just a reason the Light Church gives for killing random people, nothing more. Necromancers summon undead creatures and they don't mess with living beings at all. Why are you saying that all necromancers are evil? You were present when necromancers were committing evil?" Long Yi sneered.

"I..." Dongfang Kexin was speechless for a moment and was unable to refute. That was because she had no way to prove that all necromancers were evil and she relied on the light doctrine to tell her everything. There was no evidence to prove that necromancers were evil. She had never seen any necromancer commit evil before.

"You should think about your own actions. Do not rely on the light doctrine for everything." Long Yi indifferently said. After leaving behind his last words of advice, he ignored Dongfang Kexin and walked to the imperial palace. Dongfang Kexin was left in a daze after hearing what Long Yi said.

Dongfang Kexin was still floating in the air and her ice-cold beautiful face distorted a little. She held her head as she felt a wave of pain coming from her heart. A crack seemed to have appeared at the bottom of her heart.

When Long Yi returned to the imperial palace, Nalan Ruyue's room was still brightly lit. However, Long Yi couldn't see anyone in the room even after he entered from the balcony.

"Strange, where did those two girls go?" Long Yi looked around the room and thought aloud.

All of a sudden Long Yi heard sounds of water splashing coming from the bathroom. The voices of the girls could also be heard. Long Yi listened carefully and heard the voices of both Nalan Ruyue and Nalan Rumeng.

Seemed as though the sisters were taking a bath together… Long Yi smiled and sat on the sofa. Casually opening a bottle of wine, he raised it to his lips.

"Big sister, don't… Hahaha!" The voice of the little Lolita resounded and the bathroom door was opened with a bang. A petite, snow-white stature rushed out from inside the bathroom.

"Puff!" Long Yi sprayed out a mouthful of wine. He stared blankly at the stark naked little Lolita in front of him. That wet beautiful brown hair draped over her snow-white shoulders and a pair of little meat buns that had yet to develop at her chest [could cause violent nosebleed to whoever saw it. When Long Yi moved his gaze downwards, there was…

"Smelly husband, you are still looking!" A shout filled the room and a white bath towel flew over from inside the bathroom. It blocked off Long Yi's line of sight and Long Yi's eyes were shining with lewd light. Next, the little Lolita issued a scream that was comparable to a dolphin. Hurried footsteps and rustling sounds followed and anyone could imagine that the little lolita was throwing clothes over herself.

After a little while, Long Yi guessed that Little Lolita had already finished putting on her clothing. As such, he removed the bath towel from his head. However, the scene before his eyes shocked him even more.

He saw that Nalan Ruyue was wearing a hollow-style sexy pajama without wearing anything inside. Her exotic fragrance assailed his nose and Long Yi was instantly aroused. As for the little Lolita who used to be confident in front of Long Yi, she appeared to be extremely shy now. She had shrunk inside the quilt and she refused to climb out.

"Eh... This..." Long Yi raised his hand and placed it down after a little while. He instinctively wanted to explain himself. However, he realized that he had nothing to explain! He had just sat there without moving, this entire incident had nothing to do with him.

"What this that, didn't you intentionally keep quiet after entering the room? Not letting us know even though you returned, bad husband." Nalan Ruyue rolled her eyes as she snorted.

"This is also my room! Do I need to make a sound when I return? Ruyue, when did you become so unreasonable?" Long Yi pretended to be angry and he gritted his teeth. He expressed his dissatisfaction to the sisters who were on the bed.

"I'm an unreasonable person to begin with! Did you just notice this? Well, it's too late now." Nalan Ruyue naturally knew that Long Yi was joking. As such, she folded her arms in front of her chest and proclaimed proudly. Such an action made her bosom even more prominent and he could clearly see her cherries.

Long Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and he suddenly pulled Nalan Ruyue into his bosom. With the classic smirk on his face, he said, "It's not too late for anything. If you want to be unreasonable, I'll be unreasonable too. That makes us even."

From the wolf-like pupils of Long Yi, Nalan Ruyue could discern the upcoming ** storm. If Nalan Rumeng, this little light bulb, was not present at the moment, Long Yi would definitely have pounced on her. She knew that her actions were like pouring a kettle of oil on an open flame. Currently, there was only one thing she wanted to do, escaping was the only thought on her mind.

"Oh... So hateful... Rumeng… She is still... Ah..." Since Nalan Ruyue was dishonest, her little mouth was sealed by Long Yi's in a moment. His skillful tongue took advantage of her protests to slide into her mouth. As a result, she had to swallow down all of her remaining words.

The two of them kissed passionately and the devil's talons which belonged to Long Yi rubbed, pinched, and wreak havoc on Nalan Ruyue's twin mountains from the top of her nearly transparent pajama. The two cherries on top of her breasts stood erect in a second.

When they were indulged in their happiness, Nalan Rumeng had stealthily popped her head out of the silk quilt. Her little face was bright red as she watched the fiery ** of Long Yi and Nalan Ruyue.

"Hus… My husband... Let's go to another room..." Nalan Ruyue exhaled a scorching hot breath and she whispered into Long Yi's ear. Her ** which she had suppressed for quite some time was thoroughly provoked. However, the little bit of reason she had left in her made her unable to completely enjoy Long Yi's ** in front of her younger sister.

Long Yi didn't consider this for too long. Although making love in front of this little Lolita was stimulating, it wasn't the best time to do so. As such, he carried Nalan Ruyue and rushed into the next room.

"Truly so hateful! Why on earth did you two run away?" Nalan Rumeng muttered. Before long, she covered her burning hot and beautiful face with the silk quilt.

Chapter 462: Your Majesty the Empress

After **, Nalan Ruyue lied limp on Long Yi's body. Under the illumination of a dim lamplight, her body seemed to have a pink luster around it. She looked extremely alluring and flirtatious.

"Smelly husband, you are very bad! How can you do that in front of Rumeng?" Nalan Ruyue's beautiful face had a hint of red blush on it as she scolded Long Yi. She grumbled in a flirty manner as she pounded her small fist on Long Yi's sturdy chest.

"Haha, it's that girl that should be embarrassed. It is perfectly justifiable for us, a pair of husband and a wife, to have fun as a couple. That little girl appears before us every day, getting in our way. It's time to make her understand these things." Long Yi smiled and he caressed the beauty in his bosom. No matter how many times he held her, he would never get tired of it.

Nalan Ruyue sat up and her firm and fair ** looked even more soul-stirring. Rolling her eyes, she exposed Long Yi's evil intentions, "You think I don't know about your evil plan? I'm pretty sure you want to eat us both sisters up."

Long Yi smiled. It was impossible for him to deny this. That Little Lolita was also very likable. As a physically and mentally sound man, he was obviously tempted.

"My husband, hurry up and admit it. Do you have this idea in your head?" Nalan Ruyue pressed down on Long Yi and pestered. She wanted to hear his answer no matter what.

"How can that be? Am I that kind of person?" Long Yi pleaded his innocence. Even if someone hacked him to death, he wouldn't admit his dirty thoughts to Nalan Ruyue.

"Do you mean to say that you don't want Rumeng? Rumeng is almost 15 years old now. Moreover, you hug her to sleep every day. Now, you dare to say that you are not interested in her? How can you seduce and abandon her?" Nalan Ruyue snorted and she sat up. Turning around, she faced away from Long Yi as her spotlessly white back faced Long Yi.

Eh? Long Yi's mind almost exploded. What on earth was this girl trying to say?

When Nalan Ruyue sensed that there wasn't any movements from Long Yi behind her, she turned around to face him. She saw that Long Yi was lost in some thoughts with a blank expression on his face. She couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.

"Why are you laughing? Is your ** itching again?" Long Yi came back to his senses and asked.

Nalan Ruyue smiled and snuggled into Long Yi's arms. It seemed like she already had a thorough grasp of Long Yi's nature.

"My husband, don't be angry. Rumeng just had her first awakening of love. Even a fool can see that she has feelings for you. According to the general principle of our continent, girls aged 15 can get married. Rumeng only has half a year left before she turns 15. Up until that point, my husband, you are not allowed to eat her up." Nalan Ruyue muttered as she leaned on Long Yi's body.

"Then what about other things?" Long Yi smirked.

"You are asking me about the other things?? Whether or not you should do those things… Didn't you already do all of them? In any case, you are not allowed to cross the last step until Rumeng reaches 15." Nalan Ruyue nibbled on Long Yi's chest and she said resentfully.

"Okay, okay." Long Yi answered with a smile. Although that Little Lolita was adorable, she was still unripe. The general rule on the Blue Waves Continent wasn't there without reason. There was a reason why only girls above the age of 15 could get married. If they got married and lost their virginity too early, it was easy to hard the body.

.........

The sunlight reflected off the surface of the sea and a clear mist rose from the deep blue waters. At first glance, the mist seemed to be curling up towards the sky, flying high to a fairyland. However, the boiling hot air wave made the people sober up. They realized that currently, they were like a steamed stuffed bun above a heating stove which was the earth.

After the typhoon which struck the last time, Blue Moon City was exposed to the sun for many days. The unusually hot weather made those who had a weak body ill. The number of people who fell ill and those who passed away due to illness wasn't small at all. Everyone inside the city wall was gloomy and miserable in this period. There were thousands, even tens of thousands of people praying and begging for rain on the streets. They hoped that they could pass the hottest summer in this century safely.

It was noon and it was the time of the day where the temperature was the highest. The streets were deserted and quiet. There were only a few stalls open for business. However, even the shopkeepers were sitting lifelessly on chairs by their shops. The magic fan was continuously rotating with creaking sounds as it pushed the air around it. However, the wind it produced was also hot. It didn't help at all.

All of a sudden, a clap of thunder resounded and the sound of thunder filled the skies. The winds roused and clouds scudded. The sun was instantly covered by dark clouds and strong winds whistled through the walls. Countless flags fluttered on the walls and the heat was instantly blown away.

"Rain! It's finally going to rain! God is blessing our Nalan Empire!" The number of people rushing out into the streets numbered in the thousands. The eyes of everyone were brimming with tears as they chanted, about how the Light God doesn't abandon his people.

Crackle, boom. Several silverish purple streaks of lightning tore through the vault of heaven, as the thunder rumbled. Raindrops began to fall from the dark clouds. The entire Blue Moon City was full of joy. If the rain were to come later, more people might have lost their lives to the heat.

The rain for heavier and heavier. Before long, it became a downpour. The water from the heavens washed through the burning hot roofs and road surface. Even though it was raining heavily, none sought shelter. Everyone was screaming excitedly in the streets and they were thankful for the heavy rain.

Long Yi with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist stood at the balcony of Nalan Ruyue's sleeping quarter. Watching this heavy downpour outside, a trace of a strange smile appeared on his face.

"My husband, why are you smiling?" Nalan Ruyue dressed in a silk nightgown tightly hugged Long Yi's waist from behind and asked softly.

"I watched the stars last night. There wasn't any sign of rain…" Long Yi gently stroke Nalan Ruyue's little hands which were wrapped around his waist and he explained.

"My husband shouldn't talk nonsense. Last night, you were continuously up to mischief. Where did you get the time to watch the stars?" Nalan Ruyue with a red face grumbled in a flirty manner.

Long Yi laughed hollowly. He only had some superficial knowledge on the configurations of the stars. However, he at least knew about the lunar halo which indicated rain. This was the only phenomenon he knew. As for the rest, Long Yi had far less knowledge about.

"Yue'er, don't you want to slowly explore your husband's abilities? Now, I'll give you a warning. You should put on your empress dress and prepare to be coronated." Long Yi mysteriously said as he looked at the rain outside.

Nalan Ruyue released Long Yi and stood beside him. Lifting her head to stare at Long Yi's face, Nalan Ruyue asked curiously, "Why? Is the Light Pope here? According to the intelligence, he should arrive tomorrow."

"You don't believe me, your husband? Don't you feel something fishy when you look at the surroundings?" Long Yi smiled and said.

When she heard what Long Yi said, Nalan Ruyue closed her eyes and she emitted her spirit power in all directions. She was searching for anything which was out of the ordinary. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. She realized that there was something fishy with the rain. Generally, wind, rain, and other natural phenomenons would cause magic element fluctuation. However, the magic element fluctuation in the air now was much more concentrated. The fluctuation of magic elements greatly resembled the fluctuation which was caused by magic spells. The fluctuation of magic elements in the air now was not something which would occur naturally.

"My husband, are you saying that this heavy downpour is artificial?" Nalan Ruyue looked up and asked. Although she was asking Long Yi a question, it seemed like she already knew the answer.

"Correct. It's not difficult to call for rain over a city as big as Blue Moon City. A forbidden magic spell can easily achieve this. However, there are no signs of a forbidden magic spell in the air as the fluctuations are not violent. It's likely that many people joined hands to cast this spell together. If my guess isn't wrong, Light Pope Charles will arrive right after the rain stops." Long Yi said with a smile. In his heart, he admired Charles' trick. This heavy rain would be associated to the power of the Light God without a doubt. This was the effect Charles wanted. Because of the rain, believers of the Light Church would be deeply grateful to Charles and the Light God because of this timely rain. Their faith in the Light Church would become stronger… This was really Charles using one stone to strike many birds.

...…

Nalan Ruyue didn't doubt what Long Yi said. This notice made the entire imperial palace tense and busy. Currently, the day for the coronation wasn't fixed. It would be whenever the Light Pope arrived. Even if he arrived late at night, it would be the time for coronation. As such, everything was already decorated with lanterns and colored banners.

The rain gradually stopped and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed. The water vapor quickly rose to the sky, forming a thick layer of white clouds which blocked the heat of the sun. As a result, Blue Moon City was pleasantly cool and windy. The sea breeze was mentally refreshing.

The northern city gate of Blue Moon City was already boisterous and all the priests and light warriors from the Light Church had been dispatched there. They neatly stood on both sides of the public road outside the city gate. Holy Priest Karen and Dongfang Kexin were also there.

As such, everyone knew that Light Pope Charles would be arriving at any moment. The entire Blue Moon City was filled with exultation because this indicated that Nalan Empire was no longer without a head. Now, a new spiritual pillar would be erected in the empire.

Nalan Ruyue wore the new style empress dress with the help of her palace maids and she put on a dazzling imperial crown. In addition, the majestic and imposing manner with her sharp eyes that radiated faint coldness made everyone dumbstruck on the spot. It appeared as if Nalan Ruyue was made to be an empress, she was born to rule the entire empire.

"Brother-in-law, my big sister is so beautiful now! However, she seems somewhat frightening." Nalan Rumeng hugged Long Yi's arm and she pouted.

Long Yi smiled and his gaze looking at Nalan Ruyue looked like he was watching a peerless artwork created by himself. The feeling which was swelling up inside him couldn't be described with words. Yes, Nalan Ruyue would become the first empress in the history of the entire Blue Waves Continent. The feeling he had now was the same as when Beitang Yu, who was also cultivated by him, made a name for herself on the battlefields. When Long Yi saw Beitang Yi commanding the wind and clouds in the Unparalleled Battalion as she shook the entire Blue Waves Continent, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Swish, Nalan Ruyue flung back the lower hem of her magnificent empress gown and sat down on the spacious chair above. Her momentum startled people below her and they subconsciously looked at her in veneration. They subconsciously kneeled down to salute their empress.

Nalan Ruyue indifferently looked at the imperial maids and imperial guards who were kneeling below. However, she was also feeling nervous in her heart. She looked up and saw Long Yi who was looking at her with praise from not far away. After sneaking a glance at Long Yi, her heart gradually calmed down.

"Urgent report, Princess... Your Majesty the Empress, Light Pope Charles will be at the northern gate soon." An imperial guard rushed in to report. However, the moment he entered the hall, he saw that Nalan Ruyue was wearing a gorgeous empress attire as she sat majestically on the throne. There were neat rows of imperial maids and guards kneeling before the throne as well. The way he addressed Nalan Ruyue changed in an instant. From 'Princess', he changed his address to 'Your Majesty the Empress'.

"Since that is the case, we'll set out now." Nalan Ruyue stood up and said indifferently.

Chapter 463: Riding the Light God

The artificial thunder and rain had lasted for more than an hour. Now, the temperature was much cooler. The cool breeze blew through the city and everyone felt much more comfortable. The heat and anguish from before had disappeared.

Currently, everyone in Blue Moon City left their house in order to welcome the Light Pope. Everyone craned their necks and paid their respects to the Light God in their heart. In other words, they were paying respects to the Light Pope, Charles. This was someone who stood at the pinnacle of the Blue Waves Continent.

Suddenly, a deep and distant bell resounded. On the imperial stone path, a gorgeous eight horsed emperor carriage appeared. This Dragon Carriage was left behind by the founding emperor of the Nalan Empire. Even after thousands of years, it was still well maintained. The color and luster of the carriage was left unchanged. Every new emperor of the Nalan Empire would ride in the carriage. It was eight meters high, ten meters long and five meters wide. It had several long silk curtains on left and right side of the carriage. Whenever the wind blew against the carriage, the curtains would dance in the wind. This carriage was pulled by eight unicorns. Each one had four strong and healthy limbs. Their posture was graceful and they had smooth fur without any miscellaneous hair. When the common people saw the carriage, they couldn't help but feel shocked.

Two rows of elite imperial cavalrymen and attendants cleared the way on the left and right. They looked morally elevated and inviolable. Nalan Ruyue who was wearing the empress robe sat gracefully on the carriage. She was like an overlord, looking at all of her people who were kneeling at the sides. Currently, she looked majestic and serene. She clearly displayed the aura of an emperor.

Long Yi was high up in the air with the Little Lolita. He nodded his head inwardly. Nalan Ruyue didn't let him down.

The Dragon Carriage advanced very quickly and arrived at the northern city gate in a short amount of time. The priests who were there slightly bowed towards Nalan Ruyue in a show of courtesy. At this moment, Nalan Ruyue wasn't just a Saintess of the Light Church. She was also the empress of the Nalan Empire. However, the profession of a priest was a noble one. Other than the Light Pope, they didn't need to kneel down to anyone else. Just a slight bow was enough to show their respect to Nalan Ruyue. One could well imagine how big of an authority the Light Church had in this era.

Long Yi held onto the Little Lolita in midair. He stared at everything which was happening below him. With a slight movement, Long Yi drifted away.

"Young Master Ximen, in this period of time, you seemed to be looking at the head of the magic dragon. However, you didn't manage to see its tail…" Holy Priest Karen smiled and greeted Long Yi the moment he appeared.

"What? Did you, Holy Priest Karen, miss me?" Long Yi directly joked with Karen without giving her a proper greeting. He seemed to have missed the swift and fierce glares from the other priests. The atmosphere became tense and the smell of gunpowder appeared in the air. The moment Holy Priest Karen gave the order, all of the priests were ready to duke it out with Long Yi.

"Young Master Ximen you were spot on. Recently, I felt some kind of anxiety in my heart. It was about something related to you. However, I think His Majesty, the Pope, would be more worried than me. After the coronation ceremony, His Majesty the Pope cannot do without looking for Young Master Ximen. He said that he wanted to have a long talk with you." Karen smiled despite Long Yi's disrespect. She didn't lose her temper at all. Instead, she turned the entire situation around. With a few words, she caused everyone to speculate about the relationship Long Yi had with the Light Pope.

"That's something which was bound to happen. This Young Master believes that His Majesty, the Pope, was soul brothers with me since a long time ago. When this Young Master and Yue'er got married, I only got a glimpse of it. That was something this Young Master greatly regretted. This time, if there is an opportunity, this Young Master would like the Light Pope to give me some pointers. I would like to be enlightened." Long Yi said with a smile. Although the words coming from his mouth was polite, the expression on his face and the tone he had was the complete opposite.

Karen and Long Yi looked at each other and smiled. No one knew whether they had a tacit understanding or had evil intentions.

When Long Yi was messing around with Karen, thousands of rosy lights came from the horizon. An auspicious and happy aura surged over like a time which made many people feel comfortable.

A milky white radiance suddenly emerged from the rosy lights and a figure was dimly visible in the midst of the radiance. The figure appeared in the sky above the northern city gate in an instant. There was a light halo behind him and even a pair of wings appeared on his back. Also, a dense light aura filled the entire Blue Moon City.

"Your Majesty the Pope..." Numerous priests greeted the Light Pope and the common people kneeled down. Each and every one of them devoutly looked towards Charles as they prostrated themselves and prayed. In their heart, they felt as though they could die without regrets. Since they saw the Light Pope, Charles, they would be happy even in death.

The moment Charles appeared, Holy Priest Karen took the lead. She was the first to pay her respects to the Light Pope. Nalan Ruyue who was about to ascend to the throne was also no exception. Besides, she was the Saintess of the Light Church. She was accustomed to this since a long time ago.

However, there was one person who wasn't kneeling or paying their respects. It was Long Yi. He held his head high as he stood upright on the ground. He stared at Charles who was floating in the sky with an incomprehensible smile on his face. Now that this old fellow had a favor to ask of him, Long Yi would be able to get away with anything.

Charles' expression of bemoaning the state of the universe and pitying fate was on his face. His gaze rested on Long Yi for a moment, and his pupils flashed with a fanatical light for an instant before disappearing. As long as Long Yi unraveled the mystery of the light spirit tablet and gave him the chance to inherit the abilities, Charles would accept anything. Even Long Yi's rude behavior… He could also agree to any request Long Yi had.

"All of you, rise. The Mighty Light God will bless and protect his believers, vanquish all evils, and let virtuous people have eternal life." Pope Charles proclaimed using his low voice which could confuse and poison the mind. With a wave of his hand, thousands of white light specks fell to the ground. When these white light specks entered the body, everyone felt that their bones had become lighter. Their bodies also felt more relaxed and comfortable. This made them even more devout and they eagerly called out the slogan of the Light Church.

"Brother-in-law, why did Pope grow wings behind him?" Under the influence of Long Yi, the Little Lolita was unlike the others. She didn't see the Light Pope as God.

"Those are fake, brother-in-law can also do that." Long Yi smiled and replied to her.

"Then wouldn't that make him a big liar? Just a moment ago, I felt something different about him! He seemed to have become a terrifying person…" Nalan Rumeng innocently bit Long Yi's ear as she complained. Her senses could be regarded as sharp for someone her ago. She was unexpectedly able to sense the concealed, fanatical intentions the Light Pope had.

"He is the biggest liar in the world. He bluffed his way around using the name of the Light God. Look, these people are imprisoned in a drum [1]." Long Yi said with a smile on his face.

[1] imprisoned in a drum: kept in the dark

"Then… Isn't big sister also being cheated by him? Brother-in-law, why don't you let big sister know?" Nalan Rumeng angrily pouted.

"Your big sister... She already knows. She is intentionally pretending to be deceived. You cannot go around talking about this stuff. Your big sister didn't allow me to tell anyone about this matter anyway." Long Yi spoke like he was fooling a child. In fact, he was also uncertain in his heart. If he and the Light Pope, Charles, shredded all pretense of cordiality, he had no idea whose side Nalan Ruyue would stand one. The power of religious brainwashing was very frightening. Now, he was doing his best to secretly influence Nalan Ruyue. He wanted her to free her spirit from the binding of the Light Church's doctrine.

The coronation ceremony was naturally carried out in the Light Church of Blue Moon City. All the great nobles and ministers were present. In addition, there were numerous people who were there for the ceremony.

.........

At the start, Charles started out by reading out thousands of articles. They were the same rules which governed the Light Church. After that, he sang the praises of the mighty Light God. Of course, he didn't forget to add in praises of himself.

Shortly after that, there was a series of tedious rituals which came one after another. Just being there tired him out. Long Yi was feeling sleepy, but the expression on Nalan Ruyue's face never changed. She was dignified and sincere. She didn't dare to be careless.

"Brother-in-law, it's so boring." Nalan Rumeng shrunk into Long Yi's bosom and complained softly.

"Just in time! Your brother-in-law is also bored. Brother-in-law will take you to take a break outside." Long Yi whispered into Nalan Rumeng's ear and pulled on her little hand. He got up and walked out of the church in front of everyone. He ignored the row of light warriors who were blocking the front and he entered the side hall with Nalan Rumeng.

However, since the Light Pope didn't express anything, no one dared to stop Long Yi. In addition, from the conversation between Long Yi and Holy Priest Karen, they were unable to guess the relationship between Long Yi and the Light Pope. All they knew was that the relationship wasn't shallow at all.

"Brother-in-law, you are awesome! That Pope is really a big liar! Even when he saw that you left the hall, he didn't dare to utter a word." Nalan Rumeng said with admiration.

"That's natural. In front of your brother-in-law, no matter how arrogant a fellow is, he is just a paper tiger. If your brother-in-law said to go left, they wouldn't dare to go right." Long Yi smugly bragged. In any case, there was no price to pay for bragging. He could say anything he wanted… Who would be there to stop him?

Passing through a long corridor inside the Light Church, Long Yi arrived at a small courtyard. Looking upwards, he saw a huge statue of the Light God on top of the Light Church. It had eight wings spread wide open and it looked somewhat imposing.

Long Yi thought about the time when he saw the statue of the Light God on top of the church located in Light City. It was a big city in the northern part of the Violent Dragon Empire. For the first time in his life, he felt disdain when he looked at the statue of the Light God. Now, after so many years, he had a different feeling. In the past, he didn't believe in the existence of Gods. However, everything was different now. The Light Church, an organization to spread the faith of the Light God in this Blue Waves Continent, had already degenerated. However, Long Yi believed that the original intentions of the Light God wasn't like this at all. Perhaps, he truly wanted to just spread the faith of helping others. However, following the change of era, it had changed into a tool which powerful people used to control the world.

Currently, the Dark God was in the dark space inside Lost City. The Lightning God had already vanished. As for the Light God, where did he go? What about the other Gods? What exactly happened in the Divine World? Long Yi was unable to understand anything even after racking his brains. Sometimes, he felt that he was already close to the truth. However, he realized that everything was foggy in the end.

"Rumeng, since the weather is so good now, how about we go up to feel the wind?" Long Yi smiled and asked Nalan Rumeng.

"Okay, okay, the wings of the Light God are so big, how about we ride on it?" Nalan Rumeng was extremely daring to suggest something like this. She wasn't afraid of angering the public.

However, there was nothing stopping Long Yi from doing just that. What was he afraid of? Didn't the Dark God stay in his body for a few years? He was still doing fine right now. It was the real Dark God which was in Long Yi's body… This was just a statue of the Light God. What was there to fear?

"Not a problem, today, we will ride on the Light God." Long Yi smiled and hugged Nalan Rumeng's slender waist. He flew upwards and appeared in front of a huge wing of the Light God statue.

Currently, everyone in the square of the Light Church was kneeling down. Everyone was immersed in their prayers and none of them looked up.

"Refreshing, riding on the Light God is so refreshing." Long Yi smiled.

"Brother-in-law… I have to pee…" Nalan Rumeng said to Long Yi with a slightly red face.

Eh... Long Yi was startled. However, a sinister smile crept up his face. A wicked thought popped into his head and he said, "Girl, how about you pee on the back of this Light God statue. Brother-in-law will set up a barrier, absolutely no one will see you."

Chapter 464: Seeing Mist Fairy again

Nalan Rumeng gritted her teeth and her beautiful face reddened. Right now, she looked quite attractive. Her appearance resembled a honey peach that was beginning to ripen.

"I can't let others see me, however, I'll let brother-in-law take a look." The eyes of Nalan Rumeng shone and she whispered in a mosquito-like voice.

"Why would I do that..." Long Yi just wanted to prove that he was a man of honor. However, Nalan Rumeng was faster than him and she stepped forward to press her finger against Long Yi's lips before he could finish his sentence. Now, in the midst of her shyness, she had an unfathomable expression on her face.

"Brother-in-law doesn't need to say anything… Rumeng believes in you. Anyway, it doesn't matter if brother-in-law looks at me…" Nalan Rumeng said in a barely audible voice. Her beautiful face flushed even redder.

"Ah, what did you say?" Long Yi cupped his ears with his hands and he pretended to be confused. With his hearing ability, he clearly heard everything Nalan Rumeng said.

"No… It's nothing. Brother-in-law, quickly set up the barrier! I can't hold it anymore." Nalan Rumeng stamped her foot and pouted.

Long Yi smiled and waved his huge hand. He instantly opened up a barrier on the back of the Light God statue. After which, Long Yi acted like a gentleman. He turned his head to another side and he stared at the ant-like people who were praying in the square. He sighed with emotion.

Before long, Long Yi heard the sound of water flowing coming from the side. A trace of an evil smile crept up his face. Blaspheming the Light God, this bird man, was truly comfortable.

After waiting for a long time, Long Yi was shocked that Nalan Rumeng wasn't done yet. That sound of water had already stopped long ago. However, that little girl wasn't getting up to wear her pants…

"Brother-in-law, you..." Nalan Rumeng's small voice sounded out from the side. This time, Long Yi was unable to hear what she was trying to say.

"What's wrong? Speak clearly so I can hear you." Long Yi was somewhat surprised. Could it be that this little girl had some sort of unmentionable disease?

"Do… Do you have a napkin?" Nalan Rumeng's small face was already emitting smoke. After she was done, she realized that she didn't have any napkins.

Long Yi suddenly saw the light. Retrieving a napkin from his space ring, he took a few steps backwards. With a flip of his hand, he passed the napkin to Nalan Rumeng. In his heart, he shook his head. Women were really troublesome creatures. After urinating, that had to wipe it… They were completely different from men. Men just needed to grab onto their little brother and swing it around a few times. Everything would be settled after a few swings.

Before long, the sound of clothes rustling sounded out. Nalan Rumeng had a red face as she wore her clothes neatly.

Long Yi turned back and his gaze rested on the water stains on the back of the Light God statue. When she saw what Long Yi did, Nalan Rumeng grumbled in a flirty manner as she stamped her foot. She didn't allow Long Yi to look again. However, she didn't dare to look at Long Yi in the eye.

"Well, time is almost up. We should get back." Long Yi thought about the time and realized that it was about time for the coronation. He grabbed Nalan Rumeng with his hand and flew downwards. However, he failed to notice the indistinct glimmer on the statue.

The two of them slowly descended into the small courtyard and they saw Dongfang Kexin walking out from the hall. She wore a holy and pure priest robe and she had a complex expression on her face.

Dongfang Kexin looked at Long Yi and Nalan Rumeng for quite some time. She opened her small mouth in order to say something, however, nothing came out of her mouth in the end. She eventually gave them a cold snort and brushed past the both of them.

When Nalan Rumeng stared at Dongfang Kexin's back, she made a funny face. However, Dongfang Kexin turned back all of a sudden and Nalan Rumeng was so shocked that she stuck out her tongue.

Dongfang Kexin looked at Long Yi with a complicated gaze. She did her utmost to stop that slight crack in her heart from extending. However, she had no control over that. She was confused and indecisive. Her belief and unbreakable perseverance had started to weaken because of what Long Yi said. What was righteousness? What was evilness? What was the difference between them?

Dongfang Kexin thought so much about it that she got a headache. The necromancer whom she had thought to be evil before didn't appear evil after Long Yi offered an explanation. The most difficult part for Dongfang Kexin to accept was that she couldn't find a way to refute him. She didn't understand why Long Yi had such a big influence on her. If someone else had offered an explanation instead of Long Yi, she would have simply ignored their words. However, when Long Yi was the one talking to her, her heart fell apart. The faith in her heart was unexpectedly not able to stabilize her state of mind. No matter how she thought about it, she was really confused.

Long Yi was stunned. Dongfang Kexin seemed to be showing signs of recovery. The tricks Charles pulled on her seemed to be falling apart. Otherwise, her usual ice-cold and indifferent expression would not change at all. She had a complicated expression on her face right now when she looked at Long Yi.

"So rude! You're putting on airs even though your cousin is standing in front of you…" At that time, Nalan Rumeng whispered to herself at the side.

"Cousin?" Dongfang Kexin suddenly trembled and she kept muttering to herself. The word 'cousin' kept popping up in her heart and an inexplicable feeling appeared from deep within her heart. Every time she uttered this word in her heart, she got agitated. For an unknown reason, she felt like crying.

Dongfang Kexin opened her mouth and she wanted to call out to her cousin, Long Yi. However, the priests from the Light Church started singing a light heart cleansing incantation appeared from the other hall. Dongfang Kexin was immediately affected. Her eyes which had tears in them dried up all of a sudden. Her expression reverted back to her usual indifferent one. Shortly afterwards, she turned around and quickly walked towards the hall.

"Girl, let's go. I'm pretty sure the last ritual is about to begin." Long Yi said and held onto Nalan Rumeng's tiny hand. He followed Dongfang Kexin and walked towards the hall.

Numerous priests were singing with their eyes closed. Milky white light was floating around their body and they looked solemn and dignified. As for Light Pope Charles, he was floating in midair. Tiny specks of white light floated towards Nalan Ruyue who was also singing with her eyes closed.

Looking all around, Long Yi caught sight of a graceful and beautiful figure in one corner. She was none other than the mysterious and unpredictable Mist Fairy. She was wearing a noble purple gown and her bosom appeared as though they wanted to tear open her clothing and pop out in front of everyone. However, the indifferent expression on her face remained the same.

It seemed as though she felt Long Yi's gaze on her. Turning her head slowly, Mist Fairy's beautiful eyes shone and the corners of the sexy mouth curled upwards. Her smile was so beautiful that it could turn any living creature upside down. When Long Yi saw the smile on her face, his soul nearly escaped his body.

When Mist Fairy saw Long Yi's appearance, she retracted her smile. An ice-cold aura made a surprise attack on him. This cheeky fellow was still the same. He just needed some sunlight and he would glitter.

Long Yi grinned and he blocked the ice-cold aura coming from Mist Fairy. However, a shred of doubt appeared in his heart all of a sudden. Mist Fairy's smile was too familiar. Long Yi knew that he had seen it once before.

When Long Yi was busy racking his brains, the rituals were done. The Light Pope picked up a magnificent and exquisite imperial crown and Nalan Ruyue was kneeling on a praying mat in front of him. She was patiently waiting for the holy coronation.

"Mighty Light God, with your holy light power as the witness, now, the Nalan Empire's throne will be passed on to your devout Light Saintess, Nalan Ruyue. Forever... forever..." Charles placed the imperial crown on Nalan Ruyue's head and he continued his speech. The moment the speech ended, the birth of the first empress in the history of the Blue Waves Continent would be done.

Chapter 465: Yatesianna falls

Yatesianna defense line. The burning hot sunlight relentlessly baked the ground. The blades of grass which were originally green seemed to be lifeless and drooping. Even the air seemed to be on fire.

This blazing hot temperature was extremely rare, even in the history of the Blue Waves Continent. It had only happened twice or thrice in the very long history the Blue Waves Continent had. In the hottest time of the day, the temperature would reach more than 50 degrees. That was a temperature which exceeded the limit of endurance of many living creatures.

Instead of hiding from the heat, now, the flames of war raged everywhere in the several hundred li long Yatesianna defense line. The heaven shaking shouts were resounding everywhere and everything within sight was covered in blood.

Hell. This was a piece of hell which was on fire. Currently human life at the Yatesianna defense line was worth less than dirt. Along with the repeated assault and the repeated fierce battle, several million soldiers were entangled in battle. Under their feet, there was a carpet made from corpses. The corpses belonged to both camps and by this time, they had been trampled to mush.

Magic spells whistled through the air, and douqi flew everywhere. The front of both sides was repeatedly exploding with splendid luster. Blood mist filled the air and incomplete limbs filled the ground. This was the luster of death.

Ximen Wuhen wiped beads of sweat from her forehead. Her beautiful face was pale now. Although she had experienced many big and small battles with the army in the past few days, she had never experienced such a cruel and large scaled battle before. She had no time to think of anything else. She was terribly busy as she used her healing magic spells one after another on injured soldiers. However, there was only so much she could do. She would heal some of the soldiers while listening to the miserable wails of the others. Soldiers died one after another around her.

Finally, after casting a high-level healing magic spell. Ximen Wuhen was unable to endure it anymore. Her body swayed and she was about to fall to the ground. Her spirit power was practically exhausted and she wasn't even able to see clearly anymore.

"Miss, you cannot continue any longer." A soldier of the Blood Cavalry Regiment who had been following Ximen Wuhen as a bodyguard persuaded her to stop with a worried voice.

Ximen Wuhen nodded her head. She knew that she had already reached her limit.

"Priests, where are the priests? Quickly save our General!" All of a sudden, a loud voice came from the door of the medical military camp. Several vigorous soldiers who were covered in blood from head to toe rushed in. They were carrying a wounded person who was wearing the robe which signified that he was a thousand man captain. The soldiers were shouting noisily as they entered the camp.

With a single glance, everyone could tell that they were the soldiers from the Unparalleled Battalion. The suffocating and baleful aura they emitted caused everyone in the tent to be panic-stricken. The general who was severely wounded was a thousand man captain from the Unparalleled Battalion. He was a man full of valor and vigor. He killed countless enemies and was known as a brave man who was willing to risk his life for his comrades. Currently, three magic arrows were sticking out from his chest. The armor protecting his stomach was sliced off and his intestines were exposed in the air. He was in an extremely sorry state.

When someone was injured to such an extent, any priest who was not at the Master Magician realm would not be able to cure him. Originally, this medical military camp had three priests who had reached the Master Magician realm. However, two of them were already in the midst of meditation as their bodies were unable to hold out any longer. Currently, only Ximen Wuhen was left standing. However, her spirit power was already used up.

"Miss, quickly save the General!" Several soldiers of the Unparalleled Battalion looked at Ximen Wuhen as if they were looking at their savior. They immediately rushed over and knelt on the ground, begging her to save their captain.

Ximen Wuhen sighed softly. She had to save the people of the Unparalleled Battalion. Gritting her teeth, she raised her magic staff. She gathered the final bits of her spirit power and casted her final spell.

"Miss..." The bodyguard standing behind her opened his mouth. However, Ximen Wuhen had already begun to chant the incantation.

Only when the bodyguard called out, the soldiers noticed Ximen Wuhen's pale face. Now, her forehead was already filled with sweat. When they saw that Ximen Wuhen was already exhausted but still trying to save their captain, they felt extremely grateful in their heart.

After a milky white light illuminated the injured thousand man captain, Ximen Wuhen instantly lost her consciousness. She fell backwards with a warm smile on her face. After experiencing so much, Ximen Wuhen realized that she was able to help Long Yi. She also felt appreciated when she was able to successfully save someone. Watching a soldier keep his life after her treatment, she felt a kind of satisfaction. It was a kind of satisfaction which was couldn't express in words.

......…

Under the extremely hot sun, Beitang Yu wore a conspicuous commander-in-chief robe as she stood on a hillside near the battlefield. She had her hands behind her back as she looked at the battlefield which had been burning with the flames of war for quite some time. Although her expression was indifferent, her hands were slightly trembling as she held them behind her back. It was obvious that she was nervous about something.

"Right army, rush forward from the flank. Left army, reinforce the retreating path. Magician corps, fire your magic attacks into the battlefield, hold nothing back." Beitang Yu mechanically ordered. The messenger beside her who was waiting for her order immediately waved the flag of command to relay her order.

When she saw the battle unfold below her, the corners of Beitang Yu's mouth started twitching. This time, the number of casualties was too high. The third defense line of Yatesianna was really too strong.

Time flowed in the midst of this shouting and killing. The sun gradually sank into the horizon of the Hengduan Mountains. However, the battle showed no signs of stopping.

The many rounds of fighting tired out the soldiers. Frequently, when their companions in front were fighting desperately, the soldiers who had just been replaced would hurriedly chew on some mouthfuls of field rations. They would gulp down several mouthfuls of water and sleep while holding their weapons. The moment they woke up from their short nap, they would enter the formation to replace the soldiers in front.

Beitang Yu looked at the dim sky where the various colored magic spells looked even more splendid. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "Isn't it successful yet? The soldiers cannot endure this for much longer. If this keeps up, one careless move on our part and we'll lose the game."

On the other side, the commander of the Yatesianna defense line, General Qina, was also on tenterhooks. Beitang Yu had always been deceitful and flexible when using her forces. However, this time, she ordered for all her forces to charge towards the third defense line like a boorish fellow. Although the Proud Moon Empire had heavy casualties, the loss of the allied army was even heavier. As long as they could persist for two more days, he dared to guarantee that the allied army of the two empires would retreat in failure. However, as the commander of the Yatesianna defense line, General Qina was no fool. He could feel that something fishy was going on here. It was just that no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to think of anything.

"General Qina, this time, Beitang Yu probably don't have any plans. That woman Beitang Yu is truly anxious. Now, because of the great political change in the Nalan Empire, the morale of the soldiers from the Nalan Empire is very unstable. She probably felt as though there was no time left. As such, she ordered all of her military force to attack the defense line without a care for tactics." An advisor under General Qina said. These past few days, they had been discussing Beitang Yu's plot. However, they never reached an agreement and no one knew what the reason behind Beitang Yu's actions was.

————

"This subordinate also agrees. In this current situation, we can only block if the soldiers come. We'll submerge the earth if the water comes. The moment the attacks fail, our Proud Moon Empire's crisis will end." Another advisor said.

General Qina nodded his head. Although his heart was laden with misgivings, he had no other options. He could only cross the bridge when he gets there.

......

More than 10 meters deep under the right side of the Yatesianna defense line, a group of thin and small kobolds from the Kobold Clan had wretched appearances. They had long ears on their head and they were digging a tunnel at full speed. Originally, according to their speed, they should have long dug through the entire defense line. However, they discovered that the entire underground base of the Yatesianna defense line was made up of incomparably hard rocks.

"Fellows, it's almost dug through! Let's speed up, don't hold up the Fire God Emissary's important plans." The young patriarch of the Kobold Clan called out loudly. He still wore precious ornaments when digging and his clansmen were still wearing worn-out, simple clothing.

Outside the tunnel, Nangong Nu was anxiously watching the night sky. These kobolds were digging really slowly… If they failed to breach the Yatesianna defense line by tonight, they had to wait until the night of the next day to continue digging. Not to mention whether Beitang Yu could hold on at the main battlefield anymore, just the loss of his brothers would increase greatly.

Although he was impatient, Nangong Nu was no longer that rash and careless impulsive child. Now he already had the physiological quality and thinking abilities a General should have. He was as calm as still water in a pond and the look in his eyes was deep. That immature fine beard which surrounded his mouth formed a strong contrast with the deep look in his eyes.

"Reporting to the General, we are through! That layer of rock has been dug through and the patriarch of the Kobold Clan said that we can reach the back of the Yatesianna defense line in half an hour." A soldier covered with mud reported excitedly. The soldier was covered in mud from head to toe as he had been helping the kobolds.

Nangong Yu's black pupils shone with excitement. However, it was replaced with killing intent before lone. Tonight, he would bury all the commanders and soldiers from the Proud Moon Empire. Anyone who was camping in the defense line would be used as a tribute for his fallen brothers.

The night got deeper, but the ferocious attack didn't ease up at all. Beitang Yu had been standing in the same position for a day and night straight. She had tightly clasped her hand behind her back and her pupils reflect the magnificent radiance in front of her.

All of a sudden, streaks of light illuminated the dark sky as if a meteor shower occurred.

Success! Beitang Yu's eyes glittered and she ordered loudly, "All troops in the fronts, press forward. Left army to the northeast direction, right army to the northwest direction. As for the mid-army, continue to attack."

When Beitang Yi gave the order, Yatesianna defense line was already in chaos. Due to Beitang Yu's savage tactic to focus her attack on the middle path, the great majority of the Proud Moon Empire's troops were called to the middle path. The northeast and northwest were almost completely defenseless.

A red cloud strangely appeared from the rear of the Yatesianna defense line. The muffled sound of horses stomping the ground was followed up with an earthquake. The soldiers of the Proud Moon Empire who had returned to the rear in order to rest thought that the cavalry was sent by their empire. As such, they didn't pay much attention to the cavalry. In a split second, the fiery red, mighty torrent which was led by Nangong Yu, appeared in front of them. Along with spears flashing with pallid light, thousands of people were skewered. They were then stepped on by the horses into a meat pulp.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..." There were shouts everywhere. However, the rear of the Yatesianna defense line was already in chaos. Flames burned everywhere at the campsite. The camp was plunged further into chaos by the blood cavalry.

General Qina came out of his tent looking confused. When he saw the bloody torrent behind him, he felt as though he plunged into a pool of ice-cold water. He had never thought that the other party would dig through the Yatesianna defense line as he knew that the underground base was built with solid rocks. Those rocks were as hard as iron and it would be way harder to dig through compared to soil. He was relying on the hard rocks to stop any attempts to dig under the Yatesianna defense line. However, his confidence was turned into despair. It was too late for him to do anything now…

Chapter 466: Light God appear?

An army in flight was like a landslide. The troops from the Proud Moon Empire were already disorganized. They could no longer gather together. Originally, under the encouragement of General Qina, they had seen some light. However, all of their hope had now changed into despair.

The morale of soldiers had already been shattered and their defense immediately became as weak as paper. A single charge collapsed their defensive line. The allied forces of the two empires poured in simultaneously as they attacked the Yatesianna defense line from the front and the back.

"General, this is bad, we should retreat!" The bodyguard captain which was supposed to protect General Qina persuaded him anxiously.

General Qina didn't say a word. He stood in his spot as he watched the defense line fall to the enemy. The fall of the soldiers who were once under his leadership and the blazing flames which illuminated the sky stirred up complex emotions in him.

"General, general..." Seeing as General Qina was out of sorts, the bodyguard captain who was beside him called out to him.

General Qina came back to his sense and sighed, "Retreat? Where do we retreat to? The moment Yatesianna falls, out Proud Moon Empire will be unable to reverse the situation… Since we are all going to die anyway, let us all die on the battlefield instead."

Hearing General Qina's speech of defeat, every one of the bodyguards around him had a determined expression on their face.

When the grey dawn arrived, the sound of battle gradually died down. The infamous Yatesianna defense line which was known as an impregnable defense line had rows of corpses which were thousands of meters long. The ground was dyed dark red with blood and ashes drifted in the wind. In the campsite which belonged to the Proud Moon Empire, smoke was curling up to the skies. The existence of the Proud Moon Empire was about to come to an end.

Before long, a special kind of blood-red weed sprouted all over the Yatesianna defense line. During spring and summer, it covered the mountains and plains, and the plant emitted an indistinct smell of blood. Due to this special smell, this kind of weed was named Bixue [1] grass. Naturally, this was linked to a part of the story which had yet to come.

The Blood Cavalry Regiment of the Violent Dragon Legion had firmly surrounded General Qina and his bodyguards. This leader of this surprise attack was Nangong Nu. Currently, he had a gloomy look on his face as he stared at General Qina. Although there was no such thing as who was right or wrong in a war, Nangong Nu gnashed his teeth hatefully when he looked at General Qina. In war, it was a glory for soldiers to die for their country. However, in this campaign to take down the Yatesianna defense line, the allied forces of the two empires had lost nearly half of their soldiers in this foreign land. How could Nangong Nu not express his pain?

"Cavalry regiment! Hahaha, I, Qina, have no grievances against you even though I am defeated." General Qina laughed sardonically with sorrow. He had believed that Beitang Yu had used all the forces available to her in a frontal attack. However, he forgot about the elite cavalry regiment. That was because in such a large scale siege battle, cavalry were unable to display their true power. The cavalry unit of the Proud Moon Empire had already dismounted and joined other units on the wall. Everything was due to a shortage in soldiers who were defending against the enemy. Had he known that there would be a sneak attack from the back, he would have never agreed to let the cavalry dismount and help the soldiers on the wall. However, no one could tell the future. General Qina greatly regretted his actions but there was nothing he could do about it.

At this time, the Blood Cavalry Regiment neatly moved to the sides, opening up a passage. Beitang Yu along with two guards, leisurely walked over. The expression and temperament she had were completely different those who took part in the battle. However, those who saw her would be able to feel that she was a person who would fit in naturally in the battlefield.

"Beitang Yu, I, Qina, am sincerely convinced. You were the only one who defeated me." General Qina pulled out the ornamental sword from his waist and performed the Proud Moon Empire's military salute towards Beitang Yu.

"General Qina, you allowed yourself to be seized with your hands tied. Since the Proud Moon Empire is about to be destroyed, why not serve my Violent Dragon Empire?" Beitang Yu held deep admiration for this long standing veteran, General Qina. If not for him commanding the troops, Yatesianna would have fallen long ago.

"Proud Moon Empire only has generals who die in battle. No general will ever submit to the enemy." General Qina sadly smiled as he looked towards the northern direction. The ornamental sword in his hand flashed with a pallid light, then blood spurted everywhere as a famous General fell.

"General..." The several bodyguards beside General Qina wailed the moment he fell. In a single motion, they drew their own sword and blood mist sprayed into the air as they ended their own lives. This scene was a kind of desolate beauty just like a blood flower which had just bloomed.

Beitang Yu was visibly moved upon seeing this. She had already expected that General Qina would die for his country, however, she didn't stop him as she knew that it was the only ending befitting for such a general. If she had such a day, she would also end her own life. She would have made the same choice General Qina made.

Nangong Nu and the soldiers of the Blood Cavalry Regiment immediately dismounted from their horses. Raising their cavalry spear, they gave General Qina a salute. Even though he was the enemy they hated, as a soldier, they admired him.

When the Yatesianna defense line was completely broken, Proud Moon Empire was completely exposed to the ferocious teeth and sharp claws of the allied army of the two empires. At that moment, the news of Nalan Ruyue ascending the throne also came through. The declining morale of the troops from the Nalan Empire started to rise and stabilize.

Along with the momentum of victory, Beitang Yu led the allied army of the two empires as they captured various cities belonging to the Proud Moon Empire. Cities both big and small fell to the allied army and they swept through the Proud Moon Empire like how the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves. The soldiers marched towards Proud Moon Empire's capital city, Ice Wind City. In addition to this, the bounty hunters also massacred the high-ranking officials of the Proud Moon Empire without any scruples. Proud Moon Empire which was already on the verge of collapse entered its days.

......…..

Unlike the bloody land of the Yatesianna defense line, the summer night in Blue Moon City was extremely beautiful. Everything was nice other than the weather. With stars all over the sky, bright moonlight, sea breeze on the sandy beach coupled with the sea waves crashing on the shore, the night was very beautiful. Many people from the capital had brought their beddings and they set up camp on the sandy beach. They wanted to enjoy the cool breeze to the fullest. This was truly a big scene in Blue Moon City. This was inconceivable a few weeks before this due to the unrest in the capital.

In the center of the empty Light Church, several milky white magic lamps were emitting a soft radiance. However, Long Yi was feeling miserable and strange as he stood in the Light Church.

"Charles, in the dead of the night, why on earth did you call me here? To be honest, I am very unaccustomed to spending time alone in a room with another man. Moreover, that man is looking at me with hunger and thirst in his eyes." Long Yi could no longer endure this. This old man played the role of a profound thinker which kept silent. However, the weird gaze made Long Yi shudder.

Charles coughed. This was his true expression because he knew that there was nothing to hide from Long Yi. Long Yi had already guessed everything.

"Ximen Yu, I've already fulfilled all of your conditions. When can you give me the method?" Charles said and fanatical radiance flashed in his eyes.

"Don't you want to activate the light spirit tablet? Pass it here for me to take a look first." Long Yi smiled and said.

Light Pope hesitated. The spirit tablet was something he had to rack his brains for in order to snatch it away from Long Yi. How was it possible for him to hand it over so easily?

"What? Don't believe me? That's fine… I tried to fulfill my promise, but you were the one who didn't allow me to. Now, neither of us owe each other anymore." Long Yi shrugged his shoulders before turning to leave.

"Wait a minute, how can I not believe you?" Charles awkwardly smiled and took out the light spirit tablet. With a light toss, he threw it towards Long Yi. He wasn't afraid that Long Yi would run away with the spirit tablet as he had already instructed for people to seal the entire Light Church. Currently, the Light Church was surrounded by a strong barrier.

Long Yi caught the light spirit tablet in his hand and the rotation of the light vortex within his sea of consciousness instantly intensified. The light spirit table started to shine brightly in his hand.

Charles became excited, thinking that Long Yi knew the method to activate the table. One should know that he had fiddled around with this light spirit tablet for many months. However, the tablet didn't show signs of activating at all.

"How are things? Ximen Yu, you know how to use a spirit table to obtain the inheritance, don't you?" Charles grabbed Long Yi's hands as excitement filled his voice. Currently, the look on his face was full of greed and excitement. He had already completely discarded his former appearance which was shown to the public in the day.

"Hey hey, don't touch me, I am not a homo." Long Yi threw back the light spirit tablet towards Charles. When he saw Charles' current appearance, Long Yi couldn't help but sigh. This Light Pope who was respected and admired by everyone actually behaved so inappropriately…

"I have no idea why the spirit tablet was shining in my hand neither do I know how to get the inheritance from the spirit tablet itself. However, I do know how to get the inheritance. You need the God Seal to be able to activate the inheritance. Although I was not very clear about how I obtained the inheritance of the Lightning God, I would have failed the inheritance if the Lightning God refused to give it to me." Long Yi retreated two steps and explained.

Charles was startled and he quickly followed up with a question, "Did you see the Lightning God himself?"

"Stop with your nonsense. Since you were able to snatch this light spirit tablet using my cousin, you should also know that there was a Lightning God statue in the Lightning Shrine. The soul of the Lightning God was attached to it." Long Yi shrugged his shoulders and said. Everything Long Yi said was the truth.

"Where should I go to look for the Light God?" Charles muttered to himself. He claimed to be the emissary of the Light God in front of everyone. However, he had no idea where to actually find the Light God.

"According to my experience, the Light God might be concealed among the Light God statues." Long Yi seriously said.

Charles subconsciously turned around and stared at the huge statue of the Light God which was in the hall. Bowing to pay his respects, he muttered something under his breath.

"This is everything I know about the inheritance. If there is nothing else, I'll be leaving. If I let this night pass without doing anything fun, that will really be boring…" Long Yi said with a smile and turned away from Charles.

However, the moment Long Yi turned away, the light spirit tablet in Charles' hand started shining. Soon after that, it left his hand and started to float towards the Light God statue. It rotated in the air in front of the statue, right above Charles.

"Oh, mighty Light God, your devout believer sincerely prays. Please pass the inheritance of this spirit tablet on to me..." Charles was wild with joy and he prostrated himself to the ground.

Feeling as though something was wrong, Long Yi turned around and stared at the statue of the Light God. Could it be that the soul of the Light God was located in the huge statue in the hall?

Suddenly, the light spirit tablet flew out of the hall. Long Yi and Charles soared into the skies and chased after it. The last thing they saw was that the light spirit tablet changed into a strand of white light as it charged towards the Light God statue at the top of the Light Church.

"Eh... This is bad…" Long Yi sweated profusely. Could it be that this Light God statue really possessed the soul of the Light God? If this was true… Long Yi was the one who made Nalan Rumeng pee on this statue…

At this point, Long Yi didn't think about it anymore. Regardless of whether the Light God was about to appear or not, according to the Thirty-Six stratagems, fleeing was the best tactic. Long Yi turned around and he wanted to leave before the Light God appeared.

However, Long Yi merely took a single step before his body started shaking. The center of his left palm flashed with white light and tiger cub Little Three came out. The moment it appeared, it released a long and loud roar. Moreover, its white eyes were dazzling with violent white light as it stared at the statue.

Chapter 467: Teasing a dragon girl

Tiger Cub, Long Three, roared for quite some time and its fur shone with an indistinct white color. It looked up towards the Light God statue which was situated on top of this Light Church and turned its tiny head towards Long Yi who was in a daze. Its white pupils displayed a confused expression. In the end, it rushed towards Long Yi and rubbed its head against Long Yi's leg like a cute little cat after shrinking back down.

"This... What's going on here?" Charles asked.

"How would I know? As I see it, the Light God Statue on the top of this Light Church is where the Light God's soul is located. You are pretty lucky… Since the Light God has taken away the spirit tablet, you can come here everyday pray in front of the statue. If you are sincere enough, maybe he might pass his inheritance on to you someday. Now, let me get out of this place." Long Yi explained and he pointed at the Light God statue which was on top of the Light Church.

Charles looked at the statue of the Light God for a long time before he waved his hand. With a single wave of his hand, he removed the barrier which was covering the Light Church and he flew towards the Light God statue.

As for Long Yi, he picked up Little Three and ran away without looking back. Only God knew if this Light God bore any grudges towards Long Yi. Although Long Yi had faith in his own strength, it was only when compared to the people on the Blue Waves Continent. If a true God wanted to deal with him, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. He was sure of this after looking at the Lightning God. Even now, he was still unable to wear a single piece of the Lightning God armor.

Long Yi flew into the sky for a period of time and thought about returning to the imperial palace. However, he suddenly thought of Mist Fairy. She was a mysterious woman, but she gave him an unusual sense of familiarity. Long Yi just couldn't think of where he had seen her before.

"She lives together with that lascivious hussy, Hanyan. It's normal for me to meet her in passing when visiting my sweetheart." Long Yi made a detour towards Emerald Mist Pavilion with no hesitation.

The two peerless beauties had completely different flavors. If they were sleeping together while wearing transparent nightclothes, what a romantic scene that would be! Long Yi sped up towards Emerald Mist Pavilion as wicked thoughts appeared in his head.

However, the road to success had always been strewn with setbacks. Some people just didn't want Long Yi to become so complacent. Just after flying for a bit, a majestic power came from all directions and pressured him.

When he felt the power, Long Yi instantly stopped in his tracks. With a layer of invisible true qi and spirit power rotating around his body, the majestic pressure didn't have much effect on him. However, Long Yi was shocked in his heart. This person was a true expert… In this world, there were not many people who were acknowledged by Long Yi as a true expert.

"Who's there? Get out here now!" Long Yi shouted. Internal force gathered in his palm as he shot it out through his fingers.

Long Yi felt a slight decrease in the pressure around him. He could also sense the aura of someone who was fleeing.

Long Yi raised his eyebrows. You're trying to lead this Young Master away, but I won't be fooled… Instead of chasing the person who was fleeing, Long Yi calmly floated in midair.

Sure enough, the aura which was fleeing stopped after a while. Before long, it returned. With Long Yi's powerful eyesight, he could make out a hazy figure.

"Aren't you a man? Seems like you aren't one… You don't even dare to follow me." A lovely voice resounded in Long Yi's ears. Even though the voice was nice to listen to, the tone of the speaker was extremely rude.

Long Yi didn't get angry. In his mind, he instantly analyzed the voice. He quickly reached a conclusion. If this was her true voice, then she was someone Long Yi had never seen before.

"Report your full name and your background. This Young Master is a decent person. I will accept your seduction." Long Yi smirked and said.

"You... Will you follow me or not?" The owner of this voice was already angry.

"Nope! How would I know where you want to lead me… I am a pure and innocent young man. What happens if you decide to r*pe me?" Long Yi instinctively felt that this woman was not someone he should be wary of. As such, he started becoming curious about her true identity. Besides, he was Long Yi… He couldn't help but tease her.

"You shameless scoundrel! I'm going to take a good look at you!" The figure of this woman trembled. She was probably raging in her heart due to all the bullsh*t Long Yi was giving her.

"Don't! I am already handsome enough to defy the heavens. After taking a good look at me, some women in this world refused to eat or drink. Do you still want to take a good look at me?" Long Yi's lips curled upwards and he said with a sly smile on his face. It had been a long time since he teased someone like this. He felt a refreshing sensation wash over him when he teased this mysterious woman.

Instead of replying Long Yi, the woman didn't say a single word. Instead, a bright golden streak of light shot towards Long Yi.

"Dragon aura? Beat the little one and the big come. Are you the mother of that perverted dragon? Since you gave birth to him, you should properly discipline him. Don't let him come out every day to take liberties with women and seduce widows." Long Yi suddenly lost his interest in this woman. The clansmen of Dragon Race had a long lifespan, just by hearing their voice, it was impossible to distinguish their age. As for the fiery temperament, all female dragons were like that. That was the reason Long Yi would call them 'she T.Rex'.

"You... You..." Midi'er who was well-known among the dragons as the first tyrant dragon king in the Dragon Clan was speechless. Long Yi made her so angry that she had nothing left to say. She just wanted to take a look at the person who had defeated her younger brother. As such, she sneaked out of Dragon Island to look for Long Yi. Who would have thought that even before she could do anything, Long Yi would have won. He made her so angry she was about to vomit blood at any moment.

"What are you talking about? I know you are feeling sad right now… How can you give birth to such a son? Anyway, this might not be entirely your fault. Maybe he inherited his father's genes. Also, being perverted isn't something to be ashamed of. The only mistake he made was to go for my woman." Long Yi shook his head and sighed.

Midi'er was about to go mad. If it was not for having certain misgivings, she would have already given Long Yi the trashing of his life.

"Also, don't tremble nonstop. Are you crying? Oh, I know, the father of that perverted dragon had passed away long ago. It's no wonder that he became like that. You gave birth to him, but he has no father to teach him… He is such a pitiful child." Long Yi continuously sighed. However, he was roaring with laughter in his heart.

In the next moment, Long Yi felt as though the air in the surrounding stagnated. He knew that it was time for this female dragon to make a move. As he didn't want to alarm people in Blue Moon City, he flew out of Blue Moon City.

After flying rapidly for a little while, Long Yi landed on a desolate hillside. He was still carrying Little Three in his bosom. Little Three had its eyes half closed as it enjoyed the sensation of flying.

"Well, you don't have to hide anymore. This place is desolated and uninhabited. If you want to take revenge, bring it on. You can also push me down and take advantage of me, I won't mind." Long Yi caressed the tiger cub in his bosom with a smile. He didn't seem concerned at all.

A fragrant wind blew over as a tall figure appeared not far away from Long Yi. She was a woman with a curvy hot figure. She wore a golden color dragon scale armor and her beautiful and elegant face had a valiant and heroic aura. Her beautiful eyes were big and full of vigor. Also, there was a piece of golden scale between her eyebrows which enhanced her beauty. No one could imagine that such a woman had such a fiery temperament.

So young? Long Yi was startled. This girl from the Dragon Clan didn't only appear young. Her expression and temperament were obviously one a young girl had. It was impossible for any woman to behave like this after giving birth to a child.

"Are you the mother of that perverted dragon? Doesn't seem so…" Long Yi took a step forward and asked. He was really confused this time.

"You! You are his mother… Do I look like a mother to you?" Midi'er furiously roared. Long Yi said that she, an unmarried maiden from the Dragon Clan, was someone's mother. This was a direct insult to her.

"So, you aren't his mother? Seems about right, that perverted dragon is so boorish and you are so beautiful. How can you be his mother…" Long Yi said with a smile.

"I'm Lugexiya's big sister." Midi'er subconsciously replied Long Yi.

"Big sister? Then, what is your name?" Long Yi asked with a smile.

"My name is…. Why would you need to know my name? Anyway, you were the one who trashed Lugexiya. As such, I'm here to beat you up today. Whatever you did to him, I'll return it a hundredfold." Midi'er was nearly fooled by Long Yi. She was someone who rarely left Dragon Island. How could she be Long Yi's opponent when arguing with him?

"I'm afraid that you are going to be disappointed." The corner of Long Yi's mouth rose. A pallid light shone in his eyes when he stared at the female dragon in front of him. Divine Dragon Clan? The opinion Long Yi had on the people from the Dragon Clan wasn't a good one. She wanted to retaliate hundredfold against him. However, he wanted to retaliate ten thousand times against the damned elder from the Dragon Clan.

Midi'er coldly snorted and swung her slender jade hand. Golden light flew towards Long Yi. Along with the sound of metal disintegrating, the space around Long Yi twisted out of shape.

Without any obstruction, those golden lights passed through Long Yi's body as though he wasn't there. In the instant when the golden lights came into contact with him, his figure slightly swayed. However, he returned to his original position in the next moment.

"Little beautiful dragon, try a bit harder. This level is still not sufficient." Long Yi laughed as he looked at Midi'er.

Midi'er didn't reply Long Yi. She crossed her hands and her fingertips shone with indistinct golden light. A strong magical power started to wreak havoc around the entire place. The ground underfoot began to roar as earth wave seethed. Trees flew everywhere and boulders fell from the sky.

When everything was calm again, Long Yi was standing deep underground. Above him, there was a mountain made up of piles of earth and stones. Draconic Magic was truly powerful.

Boom, the earth and stones shot all around. Long Yi flew forward without the slightest hesitation and stood in front of Midi'er with a grin on his face. The main power of this draconic magic didn't come from the attack of the stone and earth. Instead, it was the extremely powerful magic fluctuation. It could rupture the meridians of the target and make their blood flow in reverse.

"Damn..." Long Yi cursed as a slender jade hand stabbed towards his neck the moment he arrived. The fingers of that jade hand were covered with sharp golden armor. Without a doubt, it had enough power to pierce through iron.

Kacha, Long Yi's big hand easily caught on to Midi'er's wrist. Although he caught her hand, Long Yi felt a tingling pain in the web between his thumb and index finger. Dragons were truly unreasonable creatures. Any one of their Draconic Magic was comparable to forbidden magic spells. Their physical strength was also very powerful and their magic defense was also abnormal. In the end, they only had one flaw, i.e. their fertility rate. However, if one looked at the long lifespan Dragons had, a low fertility rate seemed insignificant.

Midi'er's eyes flashed with surprise. She had never expected that a human would possess such strength. It seemed as though Lugexiya was not exaggerating when he complained about Long Yi being strong.

The Dragon Race was filled with competitive clansmen. Not to mention the fact that all dragons were born with superior strength. If they lost in a contest of strength, they would lose a lot of face.

Midi'er used her dragon power and a vast power erupted from her little hand. A dazzling golden light covered her entire arm and the sharp edge of her fingers slowly advanced towards Long Yi's neck. It eventually came into contact with Long Yi's neck and Midi'er's eyes flashed with a complacent light.

Long Yi immediately used his internal force of AoTianJue which had reached the fifth layer. Blue veins appeared on his hand and he forcibly stopped Midi'er's hands from moving forward.

All of a sudden, a burst of power smacked Midi'er's buttocks and her draconic power instantly dispersed. She staggered and fell into Long Yi's bosom.
