Chapter 499: The longing of Jingjing

"Spare me, big sister. This little brother wasn't doing it on purpose." Long Yi begged in a loud voice and he grabbed onto Red Lady's soft hands. His warm gaze was filled with yearning as he looked at Red Lady.

The beautiful gaze of Red Lady also became warm and her expression softened. As they looked at each other silently, they were able to feel the tenderness in each other's gaze.

The entire Bounty Hunter Bar suddenly became quiet. Everyone blankly stared at Long Yi and Red Lady with their mouths wide open. This was a huge piece of news. Red Lady was actually in love. Not to mention the fact that her partner was this unremarkable and boorish fellow…

It had already been more than ten years since Red Lady made her debut in the mercenary world. Her strength and devastating beauty attracted countless pursuers. Ye Changli, the leader of the now destroyed Iron Blooded Mercenary Group, was also one of them. However, none of them managed to capture her heart. Today, a new world seemed to have appeared in front of everyone's eyes. This fellow who only had an ordinary appearance turned into a mysterious being in everyone's eyes. How could Red Lady fall in love with an ordinary man?

Mad Lion was dumbfounded as he scratched his head. He never thought that Red Lady and Long Yi would have such an intimate relationship. As for Jingjing who was standing at the side, she was also stunned. She became even convinced that Long Yi wasn't some ordinary person. This man in front of her was definitely not simple. The feeling in her heart became even more intense.

"When big sister left, you gave this younger brother a kiss. Since we met again today, you will not favor one and be prejudiced against the other right?" Long Yi held Red Lady's little hand and he had a smile on his face. He gently caressed her hand.

Red Lady's beautiful eyes were filled with brilliant light and vibrant colors as she chuckled. She bent towards Long Yi and gave him a kiss on the lips. She completely ignored everyone in the Bounty Hunter Bar.

"Wow, I am losing consciousness… Brother Mo Yan, let's go." Long Yi had an intoxicated expression on her face and he grabbed onto Red Lady's hand as he pulled her out of the bar.

Outside, Jingjing took the initiative and she wanted to leave. However, her eyes were looking at Long Yi with a look of expectation. After leading this kind of life for the past few years, she got tired of it. For the proud woman of heaven to live in the shadow of powerlessness, she was truly fed up. She longed for a sufficiently powerful man to extend his warm big hand towards her and pull her out from this marsh of complete darkness.

"What? Jingjing, could it be that you don't want to stay with us and go for a drink? Let's go together." Seeing through the thoughts of Jingjing, Long Yi urged her on with a smile. Jingjing had a purpose when she looked for him. However, he had his own reasons for getting closer to her. JHe might be able to breakthrough Mu Hanyan's mysterious *** through Jingjing. If anyone told him right now that there was nothing going on between Mu Hanyan and Jingjing, Long Yi wouldn't believe them even if he was beaten to death.

"It's not that this small girl doesn't want to accompany you. It is just that..." Jingjing looked at Long Yi. She believed that Long Yi definitely knew the meaning behind her words.

"Rest assured, I think Mu Hanyan will give me some face." Long Yi lightly said.

Jingjing's eyes flashed with a strange light. Sure enough, Long Yi's relationship with Mu Hanyan wasn't simple at all.

This group of people walked towards the Phoenix Inn because Feng Ling, Liuli, Liuxu, and Niur were there. Although he gave them an amethyst card containing one million amethyst coins, they might still be waiting for him to eat dinner.

Entering Phoenix Inn, Long Yi instructed the manager of this inn to arrange for a table of finely cooked dishes to be sent to his suite. After giving his instruction, he went upstairs with everyone.

"Girls, your husband is back!" Long Yi entered his suite and shouted loudly. The doors of several bedrooms opened in succession. Liuli, Feng Ling, and Liuxu walked out into the main hall. Liuxu was carrying little Niur as usual.

All of the women were not hiding their appearance when they emerged from their room. They had dispelled the appearance changing magic as they felt uncomfortable wearing it all the time. They never expected that Long Yi would return home with Mad Lion and Jingjing, this exceptionally beautiful woman.

"Father, hug, hug!" The moment Niur saw Long Yi, she started acting spoilt. Her plump body entered into Long Yi's bosom and she grabbed onto Long Yi's neck. For some unknown reason, Niur was even closer to Long Yi than Liuxu. This caused Liuxu to be extremely jealous of Long Yi.

"Smelly kid, when did you get a daughter this big?" Seeing Niur's appearance, Red Lady couldn't help but pinch Niur's face. She asked Long Yi and her expression was complicated.

"Eh... long ago..." Long Yi laughed hollowly as he kissed Niur's face.

After the introduction, everyone sat down and started chatting in the spacious hall. Red Lady and Feng Ling were old acquaintances, and Mad Lion with bold and uninhibited characteristic also chatted happily with everyone. However, Liuxu and Liuli were bad at dealing with crowds and they sat quietly beside Long Yi. Although they didn't talk much, they were paying attention to the conversation. As for Jingjing's four maids, they were standing at the entrance of the suite.

Soon, food and drinks were brought up. With the presence of Mad Lion and Red Lady, the atmosphere was natural and warm. After drinking and eating till they were full, it was already late at night. Mad Lion staggered downstairs to his room. After drinking so much, even if he had a better capacity for liquor, he was somewhat unable to walk straight.

After the waiters cleaned up the hall, everybody started to chat with each other again. Red Lady looked at JIngjing and she realized that Jingjing was always looking at Long Yi. She knew that Jingjing had something to say to Long Yi. However, Feng Ling seemed to also have noticed that and she was intentionally stalling Long Yi. Jingjing became anxious and helpless as she had no idea how to cut into the conversation.

"Little sister Lingr, I haven't seen you in a long time. How about talking to his big sister of yours in private?" Red Lady smiled and dragged Feng Ling away. When Feng Ling was pulled away by Red Lady, she pouted and stuck her tongue out at Long Yi.

After Red Lady and Feng Ling entered the room, Liuxu picked up Niur and she went to her room. As for Liuli, she wanted to leave. However, Long Yi made her massage his shoulders.

Jingjing elegantly sipped on a cup of green tea but her beautiful eyes were looking at Long Yi. All the women around this unattractive man were very beautiful. It wasn't excessive to say that their beauty was able to cause the fall of a city. For instance, this cute golden haired woman who had blue pupils. She was massaging Long Yi's shoulders as he spoke to Jingjing. Her pure temperament could make others relax and joyful. Liuli's beauty wasn't inferior to hers as well. Now she understood why Long Yi wasn't that interested in her beauty when he first met her. With so many goddess level beauties around him, her appearance seemed ordinary in her eyes.

"Who are you?" After being silent for a while, Jingjing asked.

"I should be the one asking this question. Don't you have something to say to me?" Long Yi placed one leg above the other and casually said.

"I am... I..." Jingjing opened her mouth but she suddenly thought about Mu Hanyan's threat before she left the boat. "You are not alone".

Jingjing's expression turned into one of pain and she became hesitant. Only after a long time, she opened her mouth, "What is the relation between you and her... Mu Hanyan? Does she listen to you?"

"I think you should know her enough. Why are you asking me this? See the stars in the sky? Two stars appear very close to each other but they are in fact, they are infinitely far apart." Long Yi lightly said. The relationship between him and Mu Hanyan was a peculiar one. He wanted to conquer the other party but he didn't have any assurance that he would be able to succeed.

Jingjing had a disappointed expression on her face. Just a moment ago, she had an urge to borrow Long Yi's power in order to free herself. However, the invisible shackles which bound her forcefully pulled her back to reality. A feeling of being powerless appeared I her heart. Yes, she was not alone, if only... Unfortunately, there was no 'if' in this world.

"I am sorry for disturbing you, I think I should return." Jingjing stood up and her beautiful face turned back into one which radiated coldness. She wore the veil again she left with her four maids.

Long Yi pulled Liuli and placed her on his lap. He buried his head into her hair and took a deep breath. He wanted to erase all of the uneasiness in his heart with her delicate fragrance. If he and Mu Hanyan truly stood on the opposite side one day, would he be able to steel up his heart and ruthlessly destroy her?

"Young Master, it's tickling me, hehe..." When Liuli felt Long Yi's breath on her sensitive ear, she couldn't help but sway her body.

With that perfectly round and elastic buttocks rubbing against his thighs, Long Yi's little brother immediately stood tall and straight. It ferociously pressed against the crack in Liuli's buttocks.

"Young Master..." The charming body of Liuli softened and her entire body became burning hot. She hugged onto Long Yi's neck and exhaled an orchid-like fragrance. Long Yi was instantly aroused and his heart became impatient.

Long Yi caressed Liuli's back and his hands reached through her armpits. He pinched her ** and he said with a smirk, "Liuli, accompany this Young Master to the bath."

Long Yi soaked in that cool water along with Liuli and he immediately felt refreshed. As for Liuli, this mermaid, she was even more overjoyed. She was naturally more comfortable when in water.

Liuli leaned on Long Yi's bosom and let out a moan as Long Yi pinched and kneaded her plump, snow-white mounds on her chest. Those pink ** stood erect and they poked through the cracks of Long Yi's fingers. They were standing up due to his teasing and they were incomparably attractive.

Passing through her smooth and soft lower abdomen, the devil's claw of Long Yi passed through Liuli's ** and entered the forbidden area which was covered with fine hair. He teased the mermaid's innermost **.

Liuli trembled and a layer of pink color appeared on her white skin. She looked exceptionally beautiful. She couldn't endure it any longer and she turned over. She kissed Long Yi's sturdy chest and stomach. Her snow-white buttocks rose above the water surface showcasing her devilish curve.

Now, Liuli's head was completely submerged underwater. She didn't have any problems breathing underwater. She opened her red lips and Long Yi's terrifying little brother slowly entered her mouth and her fragrant tongue began to lick up and down. A wave of pleasure swept across Long Yi and his body started to tremble. The technique of this girl was getting better and better. She had already surpassed the several sisters before her.

After a long time, Long Yi roared in a low voice and he instantly appeared behind Liuli. Aiming little Long Yi at her perfectly round snow-white buttocks, he thrust forward. A bewitching ** voice immediately resounded in the bathroom. Their moans could be heard for a long time.

When they were doing the deed in the bathroom, a hint of pitch-black shadow flew out from the city lord residence. After flying out of the White Cloud City's city lord residence, the shadow disappeared into the dim light of night...

Chapter 500: Scouting Red Sleeve Boat at night

In the spring rain, plums bloomed. After Long Yi's continuous lashing, the little mermaid was unable to endure it any longer. She finally fell asleep after the intense session with Long Yi.

Long Yi wrapped the little mermaid with a bath towel carried her to the bedroom. He placed her down on the big bed and left the room. After returning to the hall, Long Yi reclined on the sofa and he got lost in his thoughts. After that intense session, Long Yi wasn't exhausted at all. His thoughts were also a lot clearer.

"It's a little bit lacking. However, it seems as though Jingjing has some information that I can use against Mu Hanyan." Long Yi muttered. He wanted to use Jingjing to breach open a gap in the dense fog of mystery that shrouded Mu Hanyan. However, he never expected that Jingjing would back out at the last minute. Long Yi came to the conclusion that Jingjing would not be able to bear the consequences if Mu Hanyan learnt about it.

Long Yi's thoughts were flying all over the place as he recalled everything which happened in the Blue Waves Continent these past few years. One scene after another replayed in his mind. He sighed and caressed that milky white pearl on his chest. Long Yi whispered, "Xiao Yi ah Xiao Yi, why are you still not coming out? Where is the end of light and dark?"

Thinking about Xiao Yi, Long Yi was dejected in his heart. Long Yi could see her white hair fluttering in the wind and her face was without any makeup. As her appearance flashed before his eyes, Long Yi felt as though there was someone squeezing his heart.

All of a sudden, Long Yi felt something and he looked upwards. He flipped his body around and in the next second, he disappeared from the room.

The moment Long Yi disappeared from the room, a black shadow arrived on the roof of this Phoenix Inn. He respectfully clasped his hand and greeted Long Yi, "Ha Lei greets Young Master."

Long Yi nodded his head and said with a smile, "Did Mu Hanyan send you here?"

Ha Lei was startled and he quickly replied Long Yi, "Yes, Young Master."

"Ha Lei, you are quite courageous." Long Yi suddenly raised a difficult question. His expression became stern and killing intent leaked out of his body. All of his killing intent was directed at Ha Lei and pressured him.

"Ha Lei doesn't dare." Ha Lei and Long Yi were bound by the Dark Soul Contract. Ha Lei was obviously unable to withstand Long Yi's killing intent. He suddenly felt as if his heart was frozen solid and his soul was distorting.

"Don't dare? You are a double-crossing bastard. Wasn't it Mu Hanyan's plan for you to come and help me?" Long Yi coldly said with a smile.

"Yes." Long Yi's killing intent made Ha Lei's entire body tremble. This was the helplessness of the servant party of the Dark Soul Contract.

Long Yi was calm. He didn't utter a single word. He simply looked at Ha Lei with a cold expression on his face. However, his brain was working at full capacity. He wanted to use the Dark Soul Contract to force Ha Lei to break away from Mu Hanyan's control. All of a sudden, realization hit him like a thunderbolt. Breaking away from Mu Hanyan now was unnecessary. Regardless of Mu Hanyan's final objective, they were both working towards the same goal now. Why should he discard away such a good helper?

"Since you and Mu Hanyan are partners, you must be very clear about her origin. Is that right?" Long Yi coldly looked at Ha Lei and asked.

"I do, but I can't talk about it." Ha Lei said while trembling. His body convulsed and his trembling became more and more violent. Before long, he fell to his knee on the roof and he held his head. Ha Lei roared with pain as though he was a wild beast experiencing extreme pain. He was unable to endure the pain and he rolled onto the ground. Moreover, a stream of blood flowed out of his mouth and it dyed his mask dark red.

Long Yi knitted his eyebrows before relaxing it. It was reasonable to say that Ha Lei was unable to defy his order at this moment. However, it also seemed as though Mu Hanyan had already taken some precautions against Long Yi. She had already done something to Ha Lei.

After a good while, Ha Lei stood up. Even though he was no longer feeling any pain, his legs were trembling and he appeared to be in sore straits.

"Why did Mu Hanyan ask you to look for me?" Long Yi asked.

"I don't know, she just instructed me to look for you, that's all." Ha Lei said in a weak voice.

"Then, you can go back. Watch over White Cloud City for me and always be ready to cooperate with whatever I'm about to do." Long Yi waved his hand. He wasn't interested in talking to Hal Lei any longer. He didn't have any extravagant hopes to obtain the information he wished to know from Ha Lei's mouth.

The only reason Mu Hanyan made Ha Lei look for him was to pass him a message. She wanted Long Yi to know that she already knew his identity.

After Ha Lei disappeared, Long Yi thought about it for some time. He decided on something and he flew towards the shore of the White Cloud Lake.

A cold moonlight illuminated the White Cloud Lake as the moonlight pierced through the mist in the air. Along with the gentle breeze, the lake surface rippled. As ripples formed on the water surface, the silvery moonlight reflected off the ripples on the water surface.

At this moment, it was already late at night. Most of the gaily-painted pleasure-boats of White Cloud Lake had already switched off their multicolored magic lamps, leaving only a few small lamps to illuminate the boat as it flickered in the night. The pleasure-boats leisurely drifted on the surface of the White Cloud Lake. At first glance, it appeared as though this White Cloud Lake had many eyes floating on the surface of the water.

Jingjing had just finished her bath and was half-lying on the bed wearing pink bra and panties. At this moment, a large part of her snow-white jade skin was visible. At this moment, her glittering and translucent toes were squirming and she seemed to be in pain.

Creak, the door of the hall was pushed opened and footsteps could be heard as someone walked towards her lady's chamber.

Jingjing gritted her teeth and her pained expression reverted back to normal. Other than Mu Hanyan, no one else would directly walk in without knocking first.

Sure enough, she could see an exquisite figure the moment Mu Hanyan entered her room.

Mu Hanyan directly pulled a chair and sat down. She stared at Jingjing who was half-lying on the bed sluggishly. An inexplicable emotion flashed through her eyes.

"You always seem to forget to knock on the door before entering." Jingjing sneered.

"It is unnecessary for me. You don't have any privacy in front of me. You don't need to think of having any privacy as well." Mu Hanyan indifferently said.

The corner of Jinjing's mouth twitched and she remained silent.

"I'm here to warn you. Because of him, I'll let you off this once. I hope that you won't do it again. Otherwise, you will suffer from my punishment. I think that you already know what the consequences are." Mu Hanyan had neither anger nor an imposing aura when she talked to Jingjing. She was completely indifferent. Her current appearance was farthest from her usual charming to the bones appearance.

Jinjing looked up and suddenly chuckled. Only after laughing for a good while, she said, "Although I don't know what kind of game you are playing with him, I have a premonition. You who have always been undefeated will definitely fall into his hands. Perhaps, at that time, you will feel pain ten thousand times worse than mine."

Mu Hanyan clenched her little hands and his handsome face flashed before her eyes. She could see the trademark smirk on his face and she shorted. She quickly erased his shadow from her mind and she coldly said, "That is between him and me. You only have to care about yourself and quietly do your duty."

Even though Mu Hanyan was speaking to her, Jingjing had a blank expression as though she didn't hear her.

Looking at Jingjing's expression Mu Hanyan sensed something. She suddenly appeared on the second floor and pushed open the door of the innermost room that belonged to her. She saw that Long Yi was calmly sitting on the sofa and he placed his legs on the tea table with no concern for where he was. He was watching her with a warm smile on her face.

"What a coquettish hussy. You seem to be extremely adept with the flesh business. The more you do it, the better you seem to get. Emerald Mist Pavilion in Blue Moon City, and the Red Sleeve Boat in White Cloud City. I wonder if you have other establishments elsewhere…" Long Yi waved his hand towards Mu Hanyan and said with a smile.

At this moment, Mu Hanyan was no longer that ice-cold woman inside Jingjing's room. Her sexy lips were slightly curled upwards and her entire face was full of charm. She swayed her slender waist and sat down beside Long Yi replied him with a smile on her face, "Now, chaos fills the street and the flames of war is about to burn. Everyone wants to lead a befuddled life in order to escape from reality. Especially those people with wealth. This is the only reason the flesh business is flourishing, nothing more."

Long Yi spread open his arms and pulled Mu Hanyan into his bosom without any restraint. Her full and plump ** stuck close to his chest.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Hanyan's entire body softened and she half-closed her eyes as though she was in a trance. The two people had been apart for a period of time. She had truly missed that unique flavor of Long Yi. Just by leaning against his warm bosom, she would be able to feel his heartbeat. As she listened to his jokes, she was able to feel a sense of happiness. She felt extremely at ease when she was beside Long Yi. Although her happiness would only last for this moment, she still felt extremely satisfied and happy.

The devil's talons of Long Yi squeezed through Mu Hanyan's armpit and grabbed her big Jade Hare. He gently pinched them and he asked, "They have gotten bigger… What do you eat in order to make them grow?"

Mu Hanyan nibbled on Long Yi's chest and she moaned coquettishly, "Isn't it because of you, this damned man! You were the one who made them grow by groping them."

Long Yi smirked and said, "Then I will grope them more. I want them to grow even bigger."

One of Long Yi's devil claws climbed up the mountain and the other moved downwards in search of the deep mysterious place. Before long, Mu Hanyan trembled and her private place secreted love juices.

When the two of them were touching each other, Mu Hanyan suddenly pushed Long Yi away. Her face which was blushed a shade of red suddenly turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Long Yi was startled as he forcibly suppressed his fire of lust.

"Nothing. Maybe, I'm just too tired." Mu Hanyan shook her head and smiled with great difficulty.

Of course, Long Yi didn't believe her. However, he couldn't do anything about it if she didn't want to tell him. He picked up Mu Hanyan and placed her on her bed. After throwing off his shoes, he climbed onto the bed as well. Then, injecting his internal force in her temple, he gently massaged her.

Mu Hanyan comfortably let out a moan. She enjoyed Long Yi's gentle treatment but a hint of inexplicable and unclear feeling appeared in her heart.

"Did Ha lei look for you?" Mu Hanyan muttered.

Long Yi's hands suddenly stopped and it moved away from Mu Hanyan's head. Now, that invisible barrier between them seemed to have gotten a lot thicker.

"Aren't you curious about my identity?" Mu Hanyan felt somewhat disappointed and she rolled to one side. She softly asked Long Yi.

"Of course, I am curious… However, will you tell me?" Long Yi faintly said.

"No." Mu Hanyan sighed softly and the two of them fell into silence.

"Then, are we friends or foes?" After a good while, Long Yi asked.

Mu Hanyan was startled and she replied, "For the time being... We are friends."

"Hehe, that is to say, we still have to become foes someday?" Long Yi said with a smile but the smile was a bitter one.

"Perhaps..."

Long Yi looked at Mu Hanyan and he wanted to immediately jump out of the bed and leave. All of a sudden, he caught sight of a book from the corner of his eye. The book was pressed under Mu Hanyan's pillow and the moment he saw the book, Long Yi's heart shook.

Chapter 501: Identical mysterious script

He stretched out his hand as fast as lightning and grabbed that black covered book under Mu Hanyan's pillow. Opening it up and taking a careful look, he was endlessly shocked in his heart. However, no matter how shocked Long Yi was in his heart, he remained calm and collected on the surface.

"Why on earth are you taking other people's books? You are unable to read it. Am I right?" Mu Hanyan saw that Long Yi wanted to leave and a feeling of sadness appeared in her heart. However, she was surprised as he grabbed the book under her pillow.

"Yes, what kind of writing is this? It looks like someone scribbled on the book." Long Yi casually said.

"This is the local script from my hometown. Of course, you would be unable to read it." Mu Hanyan said with a smile.

It was the same language she used in her hometown? The heart of Long Yi jumped violently. This strange script was written in the exact same language as the books he found in the shrine of Lost City. Could it be that Mu Hanyan also came from Lost City? Or was her hometown related to Lost City from thousands of years ago?

"I wonder where your hometown is. It actually gave birth to such a beautiful person. If I have an opportunity, I must go and take a look at the place." Long Yi said with a smile.

"It is just a small area located in a remote region. It is not worth going out of your way in order to see it. As for the place with most beauties, it is naturally White Cloud City where we are right now." Mu Hanyan sensed something. Although she couldn't see through Long Yi, she was also very familiar with him. Although he seemed calm on the surface, his abnormalities didn't escape her eyes.

Casually flipping through the book in his hand, Long Yi suddenly asked Mu Hanyan a question. He had a smile on his face and he seemed to be interested in the book in his hand, "The script of your hometown appears more complicated than the common script we use in the Blue Waves Continent. However, it seemed very interesting. Can you teach me how to read this book?"

"What's the use of learning it? You cannot use it anywhere." Mu Hanyan was even more suspicious. With Long Yi's personality, he wouldn't spend the time to learn this sort of useless thing. Especially at this sort of critical juncture.

"That might be the case but I'm really interested in these kinds of things. You should also know that all of the spy organizations belonging to various powers have been infiltrated. They use all kinds of strange scripts in order to transfer intelligence. I want to learn this just in case something happens. Moreover, there is no harm in learning more…" Long Yi replied with a smile.

"Is that so? Aren't you coming up with some sort of wicked idea or something?" Mu Hanyan chuckled and said.

"Are you teaching me or not? I wonder if Ha Lei knows about this script. If he does, I can ask him to teach me." Long Yi smiled and casually asked Mu Hanyan. His hands began to move about Mu Hanyan's sensitive areas and he started teasing her body.

Mu Hanyan's breathing suddenly quickened. She held down Long Yi's hand which was messing around her huge chest and she requested, "Yu, not today. I am feeling unwell. If you want to learn how to read this script, I'll teach you."

"Alright, you said it yourself. Tomorrow, I'll be returning to Soaring Dragon City. I don't think you have anything left to do here. Let's go back together." Long Yi suggested and he had a grin on his face.

"Since you have already decided it for me, what else can I say?" Mu Hanyan coquettishly rolled her eyes and her gaze wandered about. Her eyes finally rested on the tent at Long Yi's crotch. Those sexy eyes made Long Yi's fire of lust burn even violently. Her gaze almost made him lose control of himself. He had to sigh inwardly… She was truly a heavenly-gifted great beauty.

Long Yi jumped out of the bed and rushed out after fixing his clothing. If he were to stay in the room any longer, he would have turned into a criminal who should be executed on the spot. However, all the blame couldn't be placed onto him. If he could only touch but he couldn't eat, it was simply torturous.

After Long Yi left Mu Hanyan's room, her smile disappeared. She looked at the book and she became lost in her thoughts.

Long Yi slowly flew in the sky with a pleased expression on his face. Although he didn't know what kind of relationship Mu Hanyan had with Lost City, as long as she taught him how to read the script, everything would be great. He would be able to understand the mountains of books which were lying in his space ring. He had obtained those books from the Shrine in Lost City. Just looking at Lost City's magic civilization in the past, the value of that pile of books was incalculable.

Entering the luxurious suite inside Phoenix Inn, he discovered that the hall was pitch-black. However, with Long Yi's night vision, he could see that there was a figure sitting on the sofa.

"Big sister, it is already so late at night. Why aren't you sleeping? It's scary for you to be sitting here along so late at night." Long Yi closed the door and asked with a smile on his face. He slowly walked towards Red Lady who was sitting on the sofa.

"You, this romantic fellow, happily left the place. How can your big sister sleep after knowing that you are not here?" Red Lady sensed Long Yi sitting beside her and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Eh... This sounds a bit ambiguous. It's easy for you to cause some misunderstandings..." Long Yi had a smirk on his face and he joked.

"Stinking kid, you are teasing this old aunt again! Are you looking for another beating?" Red Lady scolded and pinched Long Yi's thighs.

Long Yi screamed in pain and he had a bitter expression on his face as he explained himself, "I say, big sister, can't you be a bit gentler? Everything is swelling because of your pinch."

"Swelling? Let me see." Red lady felt that she might have used too much strength on accident and she quickly reached out in order to look at Long Yi's injury.

"Ah, isn't this swelling a little too large?" Red Lady softly cried out in alarm. All of a sudden, the burning hot object in her hand became thicker and longer. She instantly realized that she was holding onto little Long Yi.

"Yes, it's swollen and it's so big. Big sister should take responsibility and make the swelling go down." Long Yi held onto Red Lady's little hand which she was about to retract. The evil fire within him which was burning ever since Mu Hanyan's teasing completely erupted.

Red Lady was short of breath and her maiden heart appeared as if it wanted to jump out of her chest. With her little hand touching that thick and long thing, she felt as though her entire body was on fire. She also felt as though her body became softer and all her strength left her. She didn't have the ability to struggle free of Long Yi's grasp.

"Big sister." Long Yi was unable to endure the feeling any longer. He turned over and pushed Red Lady down against the sofa. Her fully ripe jade body could drive people insane.

Long Yi repeatedly kissed Red Lady's beautiful face and he finally seized her red lips. His tongue entered her fragrant mouth and their lips and tongue tangled with each other passionately.

This sofa was too narrow for the two people to roll about. However, their bodies were twisting and turning about of the small sofa. Just as the passion reached the peak and Long Yi was about to explore Red Lady's mysterious forest, the sofa flipped over with a loud 'bang'. In the dead of night, the sound was extremely loud and it probably woke everyone up.

"My husband, did you return?" Feng Ling opened her bedroom door and asked. Her eyes were half-open she yawned after asking her question.

Red Lady was embarrassed and she wished that she could crawl into a crack in the ground in order to hide from Feng Ling. Long Yi didn't know how, but Red Lady managed to push him away and she rushed into the room where Liuli was sleeping.

In a single night, he was forced to stop twice. How could Long Yi possibly endure this kind of treatment? Since Red Lady had escaped, he brought this sheep, Feng Ling, into her room. Before long, soul stirring moans resounded through the night.

It was destined for many people to have a sleepless night...

...…..

At the end of the tenth month of the 87** year on the Blue Waves Continent, the capital city of the Proud Moon Empire, Ice Wind City, was besieged by the allied armies of the two empires. With their food and water source cut off, everyone knew that the Proud Moon Empire was nearing its fated end. However, the Imperial Murong Clan was still fighting back. It was just like a trapped beast.

Beitang Yu wisely chose to surround the city and not carry out any attacks. This war had already taken the lives of too many soldiers from the allied army. If they were to siege the city, they would definitely be able to erase the Proud Moon Empire from the face of the Blue Waves Continent. However, the armies of the two empires would suffer serious damage. She wanted to return with millions of soldiers. She didn't want to return with whatever was left of her grand army. She felt that even if they won like that, they would have lost in her heart.

Ice Wind City was located in the northern part of the Blue Waves Continent. In the past, snowflakes would have filled the land along with a bone-chilling northern wind. However, this year, the sun hung high in the sky and the weather was hot and suffocating.

This was a 100 meters high small hill. It was a rare sight to see such a hill as after passing through the Yatesianna defense line, the entire northern land was a wide expanse of flat land.

Beitang Yu stood at the summit of this hill and she looked towards the horizon in the east. Her helmet was placed beside her legs and the wind was blowing against her. Her pitch-black, beautiful fair was fluttering behind her.

A group of guards stood at the foot of the hill. They guarded Beitang Yu who was looking into the distance.

"General Beitang is definitely missing General Ximen." One guard said.

"Ai, in this world, only General Ximen is worthy of General Beitang's care. Why on earth are those fellows inside Ice Wind City not surrendering? If they were to surrender earlier, the two Generals would be able to reunite…" Another guard resentfully complained.

"Don't talk anymore. Someone is coming…" The captain of this squad warned and everyone suddenly entered an alert state.

However, all of them relaxed the moment a graceful figure entered their sights. She was wearing a white robe and she was none other than the younger sister of General Ximen, Ximen Wuhen. Now, in the military camp, she was regarded as an angel. Practically every single soldier respected her as she was the one who saved the lives of countless soldiers on the battlefield.

"Miss Ximen, are you looking for General Beitang?" One of the guards stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, may I pass through?" Ximen Wuhen faintly smiled. Her ethereal temperament didn't dull in the slightest after experiencing the bloody battles. Instead, it became even stronger. Her entire body emitted a comfortable and warm aura.

Flying to the top of this hill, Ximen Wuhen and Beitang Yu stood side by side. One of them had an indifferent expression and a frosty aura surrounded her. The other had a warm expression and the aura she gave out felt as though a gentle breeze. They both had peerless appearances but they gave out completely different vibes.

"Big sister Beitang, are you thinking about my second brother?" Ximen Wuhen asked softly. In private, she had always been addressing Beitang Yu as her big sister.

"Mmm." Beitang Yu softly agreed and suddenly said, "This time, your second brother should be on the way back to Soaring Dragon City. Now that we have already stabilized the situation, you can also return to Soaring Dragon City."

Ximen Wuhen was dumbfounded and she looked into the distance in a daze. She shook her head and sighed, "Ling'er doesn't want to return and neither do I. Moreover..." Ximen Wuhen didn't know how she was going to face Long Yi. There was a bitter feeling in her heart. She felt extremely conflicted in her heart.

Speaking of Long Ling'er, Beitang Yu's pupils shrank. She knew that Long Ling'er was Long Yi's woman. However, she was also the daughter of the current emperor, Long Zhan.

"I know that Ling'er is unwilling to return because she doesn't want to face the current situation. She would greatly suffer no matter the outcome of the battle. Even now, she has already become so thin. She hasn't been eating well due to her worries." Ximen Wuhen softly sighed. When she thought about Long Ling'er's haggard appearance, her heart ached.

Beitang Yu was indifferent about it. Her situation was similar to Long Ling'er's. Her clan stood on the opposite side of her husband. However, she had already given up all hope for her clan. Now, she had only Long Yi in her heart. Everything she achieved today was all because of him.

Chapter 502: Returning home

"General Beitang, there is a secret report." Just when the two women were having a heart to heart talk, they heard the voice of the bodyguard captain.

Ximen Wuhen tactfully asked to be excused. Originally, she sought Beitang Yu out as she wanted to ask about Long Yi. When she was on the verge of speaking her mind, she swallowed her words again. She was almost unable to control the feeling that was filling her heart. She was afraid that Beitang Yu would find out about her feeling for Long Yi if she were to ask any more questions. Ximen Wuhen was in a dilemma as she didn't know what she should do. Although she loved Long Yi, it was wrong of her to love her brother. The feeling in her heart was extremely complicated.

Beitang Yu opened the secret report and her eyelids jumped. Her beautiful pupils became ice-cold.

"Beat the drum, issue my military orders." Beitang Yu indifferently said with a dense killing intent leaking out from her body.

"This subordinate obeys." That captain of bodyguards excitedly replied. It seemed like General Beitang was about to make her move.

The entire military camp began to turn lively. Numerous officers and men rubbed their fists and their palms together. They were prepared to give it their all in order to destroy the Proud Moon Empire. This decisive battle would be their most glorious battle. It was also a battle at the most important moment. Even if they died, they would die a worthy death.

And at this moment, at one northern corner of this military camp, it seemed as though everything was quiet. However, whispers could be heard from time to time. A figure with dark green hair was wearing a snow-white priest robe and a young girl with fiery red hair who had a hot figure were speaking to each other. Ten steps behind them, Li Qing was quietly guarding them as he had always been doing. He was standing there holding his sword and just his ice-cold handsome face was enough to make any living creatures within the radius of three li retreat on their own. If Si Bi took one step forward, he would also take a step forward. If Si Bi took a step back, he would also retreat by one step. He always maintained the distance of exactly ten steps between them.

"Si Bi, do you truly want to leave?" Lin Na asked again. As a matter of fact, she wanted to head over to Soaring Dragon City together with Si Bi in order to look for Long Yi. However, the conflict between the imperial Long Clan and the Ximen Clan had worsened. Their conflict was extremely fierce and Long Ling'er was running away from Soaring Dragon City. She was escaping from reality and she didn't say a single word about it. As for Ximen Wuhen, she had already made up her mind to accompany Long Ling'er in the military camp. As such, she was naturally unable to avoid the problem by walking away from it.

"Yes, I cannot change anything even if I stayed here. Moreover, I miss my husband very much. I want to see him." Si Bi softly said. In these past several days, her relationship with these few girls improved. However, she still decided to leave even though all of them decided to stay in the military camp.

Lin Na nodded her head and didn't reply Si Bi. Long Yi's evil face appeared in her mind and she couldn't decide if she hated or loved him. A bitter feeling rose in her heart.

...…

In the big tent located in the military camp, Tyrant Bear and Beitang Yu were standing at two different ends and their expression was abnormal.

"General Beitang, do you truly want to do this? They have many innocent people." Tyrant Bear couldn't help himself and he reminded Beitang Yu.

"Warfare is always cruel. If they want to blame, they can blame their superiors." Beitang Yu indifferently said.

Tyrant Bear opened his mouth and he seemed as though he wanted to say something. However, he just sighed in the end. When he was killing his enemies, he could become a cold-blooded killer and turn heartless. However, this time, his objective was to trap a portion of people in the midst of the army. Orders had been issued from his superiors. The situation in the Violent Dragon Empire had already turned very urgent. After surrounding Icy Wind City for a long time, the plan changed all of a sudden. In order to decrease the number of troops working against the Ximen Clan, there was a long list of officers who had to die.

.....

The air of the early morning was fresh and pure. The cool mist which filled the area made people feel very comfortable. The sparkling and crystal-clear dewdrops on the leaves of the grass were sparkling and when a cool breeze blew across the land, the dewdrops rolled off the grass and fell onto the ground. The dew soaked the fertile land.

At the eastern gate of White Cloud City, there was a gorgeous carriage traveling on the public road. Long Yi and his group were standing beside it.

"Big sister, are you truly not returning to Soaring Dragon City with us?" Long Yi asked again as he looked at the coquettish Red Lady.

Red lady looked at Long Yi with a smile and shook her head. This stinking kid nearly took her chastity last night. However, they were interrupted halfway through by Feng Ling. Although she was relieved, a trace of regret appeared in the bottom of her heart. After parting ways with Long Yi this time, she had no idea when they would be able to meet again. She was a woman who longed for freedom and wanted to live her dreams. She felt as though it was not time for her to settle down yet. This time she was passing through White Cloud City for a mission. She was headed in the complete opposite direction from Long Yi.

Long Yi didn't force her to follow him back to Soaring Dragon City. He took two steps forward and pulled Red Lady into his bosom as he whispered into her ear, "There is always a chance to get together just like last night. Big sister, don't forget, it you need a shoulder to rely on, this younger brother will always be there for you."

When Red Lady heard Long Yi's sweet words in her ear, she buried her head deeper into Long Yi's chest. Her nose felt a little sour and she almost cried. In this world, only one person knew her heart. She tightly hugged Long Yi's waist and she kissed him just like the last time they parted. She turned around to leave and she left a faint fragrance lingering on his nose.

"Let's go, we are leaving." As he looked in the direction of where Red Lady disappeared, Long Yi knew that it was time for him to leave as well.

Long Yi, Liuli, Feng Ling, Liuxu, Niur and Mu Hanyan got into the carriage. Mu Hanyan was a new addition to the group and the number of girls following Long Yi increased by one. Now, he truly was hugging a beauty on his left and embracing one on his right. Long Yi seemed exceptionally happy. As for Mad Lion, he was not used to staying inside the carriage. As such, he volunteered to be the coachman. Having the Mercenary King as a coachman… Only Long Yi might be able to do something like this. However, Mad Lion was also satisfied with being a coachman for Long Yi. Actually, he was happy to be Long Yi's coachman as Long Yi had agreed to duel with him every day. Previously in White Cloud City, he had a contest with Long Yi. He found out that he wasn't Long Yi's opponent at all. However, he was able to benefit from Long Yi's instructions. He was naturally willing to be Long Yi's coachman in order to obtain pointers from Long Yi.

Although Long Yi was giving pointers to Mad Lion when they fought, Long Yi had also learned a lot from Mad Lion. Being able to hold the title of Mercenary King for three times in a row was not just for show.

Long Yi turned into Mu Hanyan's student for most of the remaining time they spent on the road. He pestered her to teach him that mysterious script shamelessly.

A month later, which was the beginning of the twelfth month, the temperature had already dropped a lot compared to before. At least it was not unbearably hot any longer. However, the temperature was not cool either. Many people were still wearing extremely thin summer clothing.

The abnormal weather made some people feel ill at ease. Recently, there was a rumor spreading all over this continent which said that the Blue Waves Continent was about to suffer a great calamity. However, there were many people who didn't take it seriously. Great calamity? Doesn't this already count as the great calamity? How many people were killed in the war?

Now, Long Yi's carriage was already nearing Soaring Dragon City. Looking at that grand city wall in the distance, Long Yi's heart became agitated. A wave of nostalgia hit him. He wondered if his parents were doing well. At the same time, he thought about his wife, Nangong Xiangyun. He wondered about Nangong Xiangyun's wellbeing. In the past, he left for the Nalan Empire almost immediately after marrying Nangong Xiangyun. He went to the Nalan Empire with Nalan Ruyue in order to carry out the ceremony. It had already been two years since then.

"Homesick?" Seeing the expression on Long Yi's face, Mu Hanyan couldn't help but ask. She had a smile on her face as usual.

"Yes, I am really excited. Could it be that you never get homesick?" Long Yi smiled and shrugged his shoulders. He returned the question to Mu Hanyan.

When Mu Hanyan heard Long Yi, she was startled. She avoided Long Yi's gaze and she didn't want to reply to him.

At this time, the carriage had already arrived inside Soaring Dragon City.

Long Yi's group was still in disguise and as such, no one was able to recognize them.

Even after two years, it seemed like nothing had changed in Soaring Dragon City. Broad streets, pushing and squeezing crowds, imposing buildings… Everything was flourishing like before.

The carriage slowly drove past one street after another as it slowly approached a heavily guarded area. There were patrolling guards everywhere and basically no one dared to cause a disturbance here.

"Brother Mo Yan, stop the carriage." Long Yi lifted up the curtain and looked outside. He quickly asked Mad Lion to stop the carriage.

Mad Lion stopped the carriage and Long Yi threw him a piece of order tablet. He said, "Take this and go to the Ximen Clan. Someone will naturally arrange everything."

"Liuli, Lingr, go to my house with brother Mo Yan. I will return after a little while." Long Yi said to the women in the carriage.

"Yu, I want to return to my Beauty Shop first. I will go to your house some other day." Mu Hanyan said with a smile.

Long Yi nodded his head and gestured for the carriage to leave. After he saw the luxurious carriage disappear into the busy street, he caressed the mustache above his lips and rushed towards a store which sold silk and satin. The shop was diagonally across the bustling street and he entered the shop without anyone noticing him.

This shop which sold silk and satin was extremely well-known in Soaring Dragon City. This was because even the imperial tailors purchased cloth from this place. This was the store preferred by the nobles and officials when they wanted to make clothes.

The store was very big. It occupied several hundred square meters of land and it was three storeys tall. The higher the floor, the higher the grade of clothes.

Long Yi directly went to the third floor. There were many Madams and Misses here selecting their favorite silks and satins. Near the window, there was a beautiful young lady who wore a bright yellow dress. The dress was extremely gorgeous. She was in the process of carefully choosing some silk and satin. Behind her, there were two beautiful maids as well as two robust man-servants carrying lots of stuff.

"Young Madam Ximen, are you going to buy all these silk and satin in order to make clothes today?" An assistance girl asked with a smile. She was clearly very familiar with Young Madam Ximen.

"Yes. I think that my husband is coming home soon. I want to make him wear the clothes I made personally after he returns home." The young lady smiled. Her thin and beautiful face was full of yearning and longing. Generally, this kind of appearance would appear on the face of a young girl in love. Young women who were married rarely showed this kind of expression on their face.

"Just by looking at the amount of silk and satin Young Madam Ximen bought in the last two years, they are sufficient for you to make several hundred sets of clothes." The young girl said with a smile.

The young lady smiled and she pointed at the three most expensive rolls of silk and satin. She said, "I want this, this, and this. Send them to the Ximen residence."

Long Yi stood behind Nangong Xiangyun and he listened to their conversation. The corners of his eyes unconsciously became moist. He truly didn't fulfill any responsibility as a husband towards this wife whom he had married legally and formally.

"Wait. This lord wants those stuff." Just when that young girl wanted to send the things Nangong Xiangyun had bought to the Ximen residence, Long Yi stopped her. He started to make a ruckus as he walked over. Then, he stopped that young girl and he wanted to snatch everything Young Madam Ximen bought.

The entire third floor instantly became silent. They were all wondering who had eaten the heart of a bear today. Who would dare to provoke the young lady of the Ximen Clan? Was he tired of living?

"This guest, these are the things Young Madam Ximen chose first." The young girl especially added weight to the word 'Ximen'. When all was said and done, at this moment, one might well say that the Ximen Clan could cover the heavens with one hand.

"No one can snatch the things this lord fancies. If you don't sell them to me, then I will burn down your store." Long Yi impudently said.

"You should take a look if you have the abilities to do so first." The young girl coldly said. Without a strong backer, how could this silks and satin store bloom in this Soaring Dragon City? Seeing as how Long Yi was being unreasonable, her tone became unyielding.

As for Nangong Xiangyun, she was blankly staring at Long Yi and her expression changed unpredictably. She was angry at the start. However, a complex expression soon appeared on her face.

"Hey beauty, why on earth are you looking at this lord like that? Can it be that you like this lord? How about we go and look for a place to sit down and drink while exchanging our affection?" Long Yi smirked as he looked at the confused Nangong Xiangyun. He started flirting with her.

Everybody made a commotion and all of them looked at Long Yi as if they were looking at a dead man. Since he dared to flirt with the young lady of the Ximen Clan, he wouldn't know how he died.

The two man-servants and maids behind Nangong Xiangyun were already unable to control themselves. They immediately released their magic power and douqi fluctuated around the area. They seemed to have pretty good skill.

"Stop!" Nangong Xiangyun shouted.

"What? Since you were able to figure it out, come with this lord." Long Yi smirked and stretched out his hand as he raised Nangong Xiangyun's chin. Immediately, the entire third floor became so silent they could hear a pin drop.

Nangong Xiangyun didn't struggle. Merely, her gaze became softer and softer. Her eyes turned misty and crystal-clear tears filled her eye sockets.

"Okay, I will go with you. I will go wherever you go! You are not allowed to abandon me." The tone of Nangong Xiangyun was very emotional. Even a fool could hear the longing in her voice. Her long eyelashes blinked and a stream of tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Young Madam Ximen, this..." This young girl was mystified. One should know that the Violent Dragon Empire had very harsh requirement for women. If Nangong Xiangyun did this, it would clearly state that she was a red plum jutting out over a wall [1]. Everyone was shocked and some gossipy madams and misses had already let their imaginations run wild.

[1] a red plum jutting out over a wall: unfaithful to one's husband

Long Yi's entire body shook. He stepped forward and used both his hands to hold Nangong Xiangyun's face. He used his fingers to wipe away the tears which were on her face.After that, he softly asked, "Xiangyun, how did you recognize me?"

Nangong Xiangyun's tears didn't stop at all. She pounded against Long Yi's chest with her little fists and she threw herself into Long Yi's bosom. Then, she choked with sobs, "Scoundrel, did you think that I would not recognize you just because you changed your appearance? I would never forget the flavor of your body even if I died."

"I'm sorry, Xiangyun." Long Yi hugged Nangong Xiangyun and muttered.

"Scoundrel, stinking husband! You are a bully. You are bullying me even after you just got back…" In the bosom of Long Yi, Nangong Xiangyun sobbed and she started cursing him. She used her hands to scratch Long Yi's back. However, no matter how much she cursed, she was in her sweetheart's embrace. This was something she had yearned for day and night. She was extremely happy that he was finally back.

At this moment, everybody saw the light. Of course, this mustached man had to be the Second Young Master Ximen in disguise. Husband and wife were truly husband and wife. She was able to recognize him just by his aura. How could she not sniff out her husband?

All of a sudden, heavy footsteps sounded and a team of fully armed patrol guards rushed up and surrounded Long Yi together with Nangong Xiangyun.

"You are quite bold. Why are you still not releasing Young Madam Ximen?" One guard shouted ferociously.

Long Yi rolled his eyes. It seems as though others really didn't recognize him. He was too lazy to deal with this group of guards and he simply disappeared from the store with Nangong Xiangyun.

When they reappeared, they were already in the sky above the Ximen residence. At this moment, the news of the Second Young Master's return had already spread all over the Ximen residence. Everyone was bustling around in preparation for his return. As for Dongfang Wan, she was impatiently fidgeting in the hall. Mad Lion and others were also there.

"Second Young Master has returned! Second Young Master has returned!" When Long Yi descended with Nangong Xiangyun, he had already reverted back to his true appearance. The maids excitedly shouted about his return nonstop. When they thought about it, many people thought that as long as the Second Young Master was at home, the residence would be very lively. When he was gone, the residence felt desolate.

When she heard that her son had returned, Dongfang Wan immediately rushed out. After seeing Long Yi, tears flowed down her eyes. Long Yi was a precious treasure in her heart. This separation of more than two years had nearly broken her heart.

Long Yi let go of Nangong Xiangyun and he looked at Dongfang Wan who was impatiently rushing towards him. He felt sour in his heart. His voice was unexpectedly choking with sobs, ��Mother, I am back."

Dongfang Wan looked Long Yi and she scanned his entire body. Seeing as he wasn't missing any body parts, she felt extremely relieved. She wiped her tears and grabbed Long Yi's ear as she scolded, "Dumb kid, you just thought of returning home? Did you forget that your mother is waiting at home?"

"Aiyo, mother, it's really painful." Long Yi made a big fuss. However, in his heart, a hint of warmth appeared.

How can Dongfang Wan be willing to pull her son's ear? When she heard Long Yi scream in pain, she hastily released him. She began to rub and blow on his ear to relieve his pain. She copied what Ximen Yu did when he was young. She recalled that there was one time when her hand had bumped into the corner of a table. At that time, he held her hand and blew on it as he said in his immature voice, "Yu'er will blow on it. Mother will not feel any pain."

"Don't hit my father!" An immature voice which was full of dissatisfaction resounded in everyone's ears.

Dongfang Wan sensed a strong aura and reflexively dodged to the side. She saw a little girl standing in front of Long Yi and she looked like a hen protecting her chick. Dongfang Wan instantly turned her gaze towards Long Yi and looked at him in confusion.

"Let's talk after going into the house." Long Yi picked up Niur and entered the hall with a smile.

Everyone took a seat and Long Yi began to talk about everything. At this moment, all the girls had taken off the disguise. They were all in their true appearances and Dongfang Wan felt as though it was a feast for her eyes. These goddess-like beauties, how did her son trick them into following him? However, it was a pity that the girl from the Dragon race denied being Long Yi's woman. Otherwise, the Ximen Clan would have a young girl from the Dragon Race as a daughter-in-law.

Nangong Xiangyun was somewhat jealous in her heart. She was upset because she could only watch helplessly as the women around her husband kept on increasing. Some of the women were even prettier than herself. Furthermore, after calculating the time spent together with Long Yi, she realized that basically all of the sisters in front of her had spent more time together with Long Yi compared to herself. In any case, she was the woman who was formally and legally married to Long Yi first. She was the first daughter-in-law of the Ximen Clan. She was the primary wife. As such, she had to be tolerant towards the others. If she wanted to blame, then she could only blame her husband for being too outstanding. It was his fault that there were so many women attracted to him.

Dongfang Wan had seen through Nangong Xiangyun's thoughts. Since they had reunited after a long parting, she intentionally gave them some alone time. She looked for an excuse and led the others away. Everyone where was intelligent. How could they not understand Dongfang Wan's intentions?

Long Yi returned to his courtyard with Nangong Xiangyun. He discovered that everything was just like it was two years ago. It was neat, tidy, and thoroughly cleaned. He felt a kind of ease and comfort that could be only felt in one's home.

The moment he closed the door, Nangong Xiangyun's passion erupted. Their tongues and lips pressed against each other as they shared a passionate kiss. Her little hands had learned one or two attacks from Long Yi. However, she seemed to be inexperienced when using her hands.

"Darling Xiangyun, don't be impatient. We have plenty of time." Long Yi caressed Nangong Xiangyun's back. He clearly understood the feeling in her heart. This girl was feeling a sense of crisis after seeing the number of women around him. Speaking about it, he owed her a lot. He had arbitrarily walked away during his marriage ceremony with her and it definitely made her unhappy. He was also surrounded by many women and he had been away from home for two years. He had only spent a limited amount of time with Nangong Xiangyun.

Under the guidance of the veteran of flowers, the temperature of the two people began to rise. The clothing on their body became lesser and lesser until none was left.

"Ah... My husband..." Nangong Xiangyun's pink little ** entered Long Yi's mouth and she let out a moan as her entire body trembled. This sort of stimulation made her reach **.

The skin of Nangong Xiangyun was not milky white, rather, it was a healthy wheat color and it had a certain glow to it. At this moment, she was riding Long Yi at full speed and her full ** were rising and falling. Long Yi's soul was sent directly to the highest heaven. Moreover, her loosely hanging black hair flew around messily as she moved up and down. This was a fatal temptation for Long Yi.

After a long time, Nangong Xiangyun let out a long-drawn-out sweet moan and she reached the peak of pleasures. Her spring syrup flowed out of her honey cave and soaked the bed sheet. All the strength in her body seemed to have left her and she collapsed into Long Yi's bosom.

"My husband, I want to continue." Nangong Xiangyun returned back to her senses and discovered that the bad fellow was still standing tall inside her body. Naturally, after being neglected for such a long time, she was too **.

"There is no hurry, your husband will give you everything you want. It's fine no matter how many times you want it." Long Yi smiled and pushed Nangong Xiangyun down on the bed. He started the attack which signaled the start of the second battle.

...…

"My husband, I still want...."

"Not a problem."

...…

"More..."

"Okay."

...….

"My husband, give me more..."

"..."

Long Yi looked at Nangong Xiangyun who was sleeping with a red face and he tenderly pinched her cheek. This girl truly loved to flaunt her superiority. On one side, she said that she still wanted it. On the other, she entered dreamland.

Nangong Xiangyun shrunk into Long Yi's bosom and tightly hugged him as if she was afraid that he would run away. If he moved even a little, she would tighten her grip on him.

The sky gradually dimmed and some fluctuations came from the barrier he laid outside the room. Long Yi raised his eyebrows and he wanted to see what was going on. However, he was unable to get away from Nangong Xiangyun's embrace. He gently poked Nangong Xiangyun's sleeping acupoint and finally freed himself from the land of warmth and tenderness.

"Second Young Master, Master is waiting for you in the study." A guard respectfully said.

Long Yi nodded his head and he straightened his clothing. He walked towards Ximen Nu's study.

Chapter 503: Wuhen's past

En route, Long Yi noticed that the security inside the Ximen Residence was much stricter. The defense in the sky had surrounded Ximen Residence in a tight encirclement. Even a mosquito would not be able to escape their eyes and ears.

The defense was probably so tight due to the growing intensity of the current situation. They were afraid that the slightest carelessness on their part would result in them wasting all of their previous efforts.

Long Yi knocked on the door of the study and gently pushed it open. He immediately saw Ximen Nu standing in front of the painting which was hung on the wall. Ximen Nu had his hands clasped behind his back as he stood there. That was the painting of a man wearing golden armor and he had a huge sword in his hand. The man emitted a mighty aura and he was the ancestor of the Ximen Clan, Ximen Jingfei.

"Come in." Ximen Nu said without turning his head backwards. That straight back of his was still like a lofty mountain even after experiencing this storm. His tone was flat and it seemed as though there were no fluctuations in his emotions.

"Yes, father." Long Yi replied. When he looked at the white hair on Ximen Nu's head, he felt extremely bitter in his heart. Long Yi remembered that when he left two years ago, his father barely had any white hair growing on his head. Long Yi would never have thought that in an extremely short amount of time, his father would have aged so much.

"These past two years, you have done a good job." Ximen Nu turned around. Although his expression was neutral, his eyes were shining with happiness. This son of his had truly not let him down.

Long Yi smiled he didn't reply Ximen Nu. His eyes were fixed on that portrait Ximen Nu was looking at.

"The Long family usurping the empire was the greatest regret out ancestor had. I hope that us father and son can make up for the ancestor's regret." Ximen Nu sighed softly and said.

"Father, although it seems as though our Ximen Clan has the advantage at the moment, the Long family seems too calm." When he thought about the intelligence report he read in the past few days, Long Yi frowned and cautioned his father.

"This is the calm before the storm. The moment the Proud Moon Empire is dealt with, the final decisive battle will begin. Of the two clans, the Long and the Ximen clan, only one will survive." Ximen Nu walked to the back of his desk and he sat down.

Long Yi nodded his head. No matter who won or lost, the Violent Dragon Empire would face a huge cleansing. Both sides knew the consequences of not pulling out weeds from the root. The vassals of both clans knew that if they chose the wrong side, their clans would face destruction.

"Father, how is big brother?" Long Yi asked.

"Now, he is in the army headquarters doing light and easy jobs. As for Liu Shi, it has already been confirmed that that s*lt is the descendant of the previous dynasty's imperial family. The dark force behind Long Zhan might also be connected to the previous dynasty. I truly had never thought that Long Zhan, who had always been clever throughout his life, would have gone senile. I can clearly see that those people are planning to reap the benefits by being an old fisherman." Ximen Nu coldly snorted and said. Two years ago, after Long Yi left Soaring Dragon City, he had dispatched two groups of Skynet Intelligence agents to specifically analyze the language written in the script given to him by Mu Hanyan. That script was from the previous dynasty and he was finally able to dig out some clues.

Long Yi frowned and he instantly thought of Mu Hanyan. Could it be that she was also a surviving member of the previous dynasty? That didn't seem quite right. The script from her hometown was the same as the mysterious script passed down in Holy City. It was completely different from the script used by the people from the previous dynasty. No matter how he thought about it, Long Yi couldn't think of anything.

"Yu'er, after analyzing the intelligence reports, I am afraid that the dark force behind Long Zhan has already infiltrated into every part of the imperial clan. The current imperial clan is not much different from a puppet. It seems like our main opponent is the remnants of the previous dynasty." Ximen Nu said in a heavy tone. Even if he failed to seize the empire, he absolutely could not allow the empire to fall back into the hands of the people from the previous dynasty.

Long Yi and Ximen Nu began to discuss and analyze the current situation happening inside Soaring Dragon City. Their discussion was extremely thorough and they covered everything. Unconsciously, the entire night passed while they were chatting, and when the first glimmer of light shone onto the land from the east, the stomach of these two was rumbling with hunger.

All of a sudden, a sound of knocking could be heard as it came from the door of the study. Dongfang Wan's voice could be heard, "Lord, it's me."

The door was pushed open with a creak and Dongfang Wan walked into the room with several dishes and a bottle of wine. She chided the Ximen Nu as she jokingly complained, "Lord, Yu'er has just returned from a long journey… You pulled him over and chatted with him for the entire night. Did you not think about how tired Yu'er would be after his journey?"

"Mother, I am not made from flour. Even if I don't sleep for ten days and ten nights, I will be completely fine." Long Yi said with a smile.

"Don't show off. Hurry up, sit down and eat something." Dongfang Wan grumbled.

The father and son pair were indeed hungry. They picked up their chopsticks and they attacked the food as though they were wolves and tigers seeing their prey. As for Dongfang Wan, she sat at the side as she watched the son and father pair. Her heart was filled with happiness. In her heart, she didn't want her husband and son to do anything great. As long as their entire family could sit together and have a meal together peacefully, she would be perfectly content. However, she knew that the Ximen Clan was at the point of no return.

Having drunk and eaten to his heart's content, Long Yi patted his stomach with a satisfied expression. The food made by his mother was truly delicious. Suddenly, Long Yi thought of a matter and he opened his mouth. However, he swallowed his words all of a sudden.

"Yu'er, do you have something to say?" Ximen Nu asked in confusion when he saw Long Yi's appearance.

"There... There is. But this is a secret and I'll only talk to mother about it." Long Yi smiled and said.

"Secret?"

A smile suddenly bloomed on Dongfang Wan's face. This proved that her position in her son's heart was second to none.

Long Yi pulled Dongfang Wan to a room at the side before setting up a barrier. Seeing as Long Yi was so cautious, Dongfang Wan also became serious.

"Mother, can you tell me how father got involved with Wuhen's mother?" Long Yi looked at Dongfang Wan and asked her with a serious expression. He knew that his mother was extremely petty when it came to love. In this aspect, one could say that she was very similar to his cousin, Dongfang Kexin. He wondered if all the women from the Dongfang Clan had an inborn possessiveness. However, unlike Dongfang Wan who had succeeded in keeping her husband from different women, Dongfang Kexin failed miserably. It was her bad luck to meet Long Yi, this super womanizer.

Sure enough, Dongfang Wan's expression changed the moment Long Yi brought up the matter. She became a bit annoyed and she said, "Smelly brat, is this the mysterious secret you are talking about?"

"Mother, I have a reason to ask about this. Can you tell me, please?" Long Yi pulled Dongfang Wan's hand and he asked.

Dongfang Wan looked at Long Yi with a suspicious gaze. She knew that her son wasn't someone who would enjoy gossips. As such, she explained everything to him with some resentment in her voice, "Isn't everything your father's fault? At that time, when your father was drunk, he violated a maid who just started working here. As a result, Ximen Wuhen was born."

"Mother, are you sure that that maid gave birth to Wuhen?" Long Yi asked.

Dongfang Wan frowned and she realized Long Yi's point. She became serious and she answered Long Yi seriously, "When that woman was about to give birth, I was on the scene. Wuhen was also brought up in front of me. How could there be any mistakes?"

"Then, you are sure that Wuhen is..." Long Yi thought for a bit but he didn't complete his sentence.

"Son, do you think that Wuhen isn't a daughter from our Ximen Clan?" Dongfang Wan was intelligent and she instantly understood the meaning behind Long Yi's words.

"Eh... Yes..." One of the reasons why Long Yi returned this time was to understand Ximen Wuhen's past. That was the reason he asked so many questions.

"Why would you say so? Do you have any proof? You cannot say anything you like…" The complexion of Dongfang Wan was already ghastly pale. If Ximen Wuhen really wasn't a daughter from the Ximen Clan, that meant that someone had schemed against the Ximen Clan since a long time ago. That was truly absurd. If this matter was spread outside, the Ximen Clan would become a laughing stock and Ximen Nu would no longer have the face to meet other people.

Long Yi thought for a bit and he knew that since he had arrived at this point, he didn't need to hide anything. His mother Dongfang Wan wasn't a simple person. Long Yi was certain that she would be able to find some leads.

"Yes, I performed a test and I am one hundred percent sure that there is no blood relationship between me and Wuhen." Long Yi frowned and said.

When he tested the relationship between himself and Wuhen in the past, he was shocked as well.

Dongfang Wan gritted her teeth and her eyes shone with pallid light. She absolutely believed that her son wouldn't shoot an arrow without a target in mind. Since he said that Ximen Wuhen and her son didn't have any blood relationship, Ximen Wuhen was definitely not a child from the Ximen Clan. Who had the guts to make the Ximen Clan a scapegoat?

"Could it be..." Dongfang Wan seemed to have recalled something and her beautiful face had huge changes and she unexpectedly trembled.

"What?" Long Yi asked.

The eyelid of Dongfang Wan trembled beyond her control as she said: "I remember that that maid was brought in by your grandfather and another woman. He said that he saw her on the road, and taking a pity on her, he brought her along to make her the personal maid of your father. Thinking about it now, it is somewhat fishy. That girl was an outstanding beauty, how could he find such beauty on the road?"

"Mother mean to say that this entire matter was arranged single-handedly by grandfather?" Long Yi asked.

"I don't know, unfortunately, it has already been more than 20 years we have not heard from him, otherwise, we could have asked him." Dongfang Wan shook her head and said but she was not able to shake off that indistinct doubt.

Long Yi suddenly recalled Aunt Ou of Mea Holy Magic Academy. At that time, she had said: As it turned out you are the kid of Ximen Clan, never thought that you have already gotten this big in the blink of an eye.

Didn't this sentence mean that she had seen him during his childhood? Then, was she that woman together with his grandfather? She had once decisively said that Wuhen didn't have any relation with Ximen Clan. His guess might not be wrong. Moreover, seeing that she cared so much about Wuhen, the relationship between her and Wuhen was certainly not simple.

"Yu'er, this matter you said to mother, forget it, and be sure to never tell your father, do you understand?" Dongfang Wan seriously said.

"I know, mother. You should know that your son, I am not a person that speaks carelessly." Long Yi replied. It seemed only that Aunt Ou and his grandfather held the answer to this mystery.

Chapter 504: Dispute, Shui Linglong

Long Yi didn't think much about Wuhen's past. When he thought about the one and only younger sister he had, a complicated feeling appeared in his heart. He had to admit that he was actually a little happy when he learned that she wasn't his biological younger sister. However, another thought flashed through his mind. Long Yi was thinking whether or not his thoughts were wicked right now.

Long Yi walked out of the Ximen Residence. At this moment, the sky was not yet completely bright, but the streets were already starting to bustle with activity. The bustling streets brought vitality to Soaring Dragon City.

For an unknown reason, Long Yi always felt that there was a void in his heart. It felt as though he was missing something. What exactly was he missing? Long Yi began to understand what he was missing when he walked from one street to another. He remembered that wherever he went in the past, there would be someone following him. It would either be Li Qing, or Barbarian Bull. He didn't feel that they were missing when he was in Blue Moon City, but after returning to Soaring Dragon City, the empty feeling became extremely prominent.

"Barbarian Bull… He should be happily living his life as a father in the Hengduan Mountains. Li Qing… I wonder if he passed through all 18 tests in his clan? Is my Si Bi still staying in the clan?" A hint of warmth unconsciously appeared in Long Yi's heart.

Long Yi seemed to be walking forward with no destination in mind. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped and he looked around. He discovered that he had unexpectedly arrived at the *** street of Soaring Dragon City. He solemnly looked at this completely new building in front of him and saw a gold-plated signboard with 'Vermillion Jade Cuddling House' written on it. The name was straightforward. People came to brothels to cuddle jades.

Creak, a beautiful girl who was yawning pushed open the window of the store which faced the street. She stared at the streets as she leaned against the window. She saw a handsome youth who was wearing a silk gown stand in front of the entrance of the Vermillion Jade Cuddling House. When she saw him standing at the entrance, she was extremely surprised. Could it be that this person was so thirsty that he ran over here early in the morning to look for a girl? One should know that even ordinary brothels wouldn't open at daytime.

This girl was known as Cui (emerald green) Niang. Like her name, she was wearing clothing which was emerald green in color. She was one of the two great stars of this Vermillion Jade Cuddling House. Although her beauty wasn't devastating, she possessed a great flavor. Especially her slender figure… She could enchant any man to death.

Stars naturally had the privilege of stars. Every day, she just needed to sing or accompany some illustrated high-ranking officials to drink a few cups of wine. As such, she still had a pure body. This was the so-called selling arts and not selling the body. However, Cui Niang was extremely clear in her heart that selling her arts and not her body was just a joke. Everyone had a price and she was no exception. It was just that her price might be completely different from other ordinary women.

Cui Niang quickly discovered that she was wrong. Staring at this Vermillion Jade Cuddling House, the youth had a changing expression. Sometimes, his face would be filled with sadness and sometimes, his expression would become one of loneliness. He wasn't a starving dire wolf that was looking for food. His expression made the string at the bottom of her heart quiver.

When Cui Niang saw that the youth had turned around and was about to leave, she involuntarily called out to him, "This noble son, how about coming in and drinking a cup of wine with me?"

Long Yi had already noticed this brothel girl who had good looks and temperament looking at him. However, he didn't care about her. Yet when he was about to leave, she called out to him.

"Drink wine? I don't have a single cent on me right now. Can I drink on credit?" Long Yi turned around again and joked. He shrugged his shoulders toward the girl.

"It doesn't matter. I am inviting you in for a drink. Wait a minute, I will open the door." Cui Niang said. She didn't know why, but this was the first time she had been so curious about a man she had just seen for the first time.

"No need to bother. Since a lady is inviting me for a drink, I won't decline." The figure of Long Yi flashed and he instantly appeared beside Cui Niang.

Cui Niang exclaimed in surprise and patted her chest. She was not a naïve woman who had not seen the world. She had seen and met those high-class magicians and sword masters. However, even among all the strong people she had seen, she had never seen anyone move as quickly as Long Yi.

Long Yi sized up this room. It was very wide and it was elegantly decorated. When he saw this, Long Yi knew that the position of this girl in the Vermillion Jade Cuddling House wasn't low.

"Wait here for me." Cui Niang said. After opening the door, she ran out of the room. After a while, she returned with steaming hot dishes and a small bottle of fine wine.

Long Yi had just eaten the food personally prepared by Dongfang Wan. As such, he wasn't hungry right now. He had just been exploring the streets when this girl invited him for a drink.

"I wonder where noble son came from. I have never seen you around here before." Cui Niang asked with a smile as she gave Long Yi a cup of fine wine.

"I am a person who used to live in Soaring Dragon City. However, I just came back after spending some time outside." Long Yi sipped a mouthful of fine wine and replied.

"Is that so? It's no wonder… Just now, I saw that this noble son seemed to be extremely sad. How about pouring your heart out? Let Cui Niang share a bit of your burden." Cui Niang softly asked. When she saw that this handsome youth's gaze wasn't sizing up her hot figure, she managed to sense a noble aura coming from him. She knew that he wasn't an average person..

Long Yi shook his head without any change in his expression. However, a hint of gloominess flashed through his eyes. This Vermillion Jade Cuddling House was called Beautiful Fragrant House two years ago. It was also one of the branches of the Skynet Intelligence Organization. He still remembered the scene of Ruyu talking freely and Qing Wu joking around with Piao Xue. They were no longer here. In the past, when Beautiful Fragrance House was burned to the ground, Ruyu, Qing Wu, and Piao Xue had died without a trace. All of it was due to Long Zhan's arrangements… Long Yi knew that he would definitely make Long Zhan pay for everything he had done.

Bang, the porcelain cup in Long Yi's hand was crushed and it disintegrated into fine powder.

"Ah..." Cui Niang exclaimed.

"Are you afraid?" Long Yi said with a faint smile on his face.

Cui Niang nodded her head and hastily shook her head again. Her boss always said that the guests were gods and she absolutely shouldn't provoke gods. The gods were always right. Even if the gods did something wrong, they were still in the right.

"Who is your boss?" Long Yi asked. According to his observation, this woman wasn't engaged in information gathering.

"I don't know. I just know that big sister Hua has been managing us." Cui Niang replied.

Long Yi raised his eyebrows. It seemed as though the boss of this Vermillion Jade Cuddling House wasn't simple at all.

"Cui Niang, are you awake? My cream is used up... He... Who is he?" A young girl wearing a pink cotton dress pushed open the door and entered Cui Niang's room. She was shocked when she saw that there was another man in the room.

"Xi Hong, he is... He is my friend." Cui Niang had not expected that this close sister of hers would suddenly enter her room. She didn't know how to reply to her and she replied Xi Hong with a red face.

This Xi Hong was a bewitching beauty. Her facial features were exquisite and lustrous. It was just that she was exposing too much of her body. It seemed as though her charm wasn't inferior to Mu Hanyan at all.

"Hehe, this handsome brother, which family's noble son are you?" Xi Hong jumped to Long Yi's side and teased him. She blew a mouthful of fragrant breath into Long Yi's ear. She was acting too unrestrained.

"Aren't you the clearest about which family I came from?" Long Yi said casually with a smile.

"Noble son is joking. I have never seen noble son before! How can I know who you are?" Xi Hong said with her eyes wide open.

Long Yi smirk and glanced at Xi Hong. His taunting smile instantly pierced through her soul. When this woman had entered the room, her eyes had flashed for only an instant. However, Long Yi was able to catch that. There were many people in Soaring Dragon City who were able to recognize him. Although this woman had clearly recognized him, she pretended not to. Even if she had never seen him before, she might have seen his portrait somewhere. There was only one kind of people who would look at his portrait without meeting him before…. They were intelligence agents.

Long Yi felt as though this situation was extremely strange. With Cui Niang's status, she could easily gather intelligence. However, she didn't seem to know much. Why didn't the boss make use of such a good tool?

Xi Hong panicked when she saw Long Yi's gaze. She felt as if she was standing stark naked in front of Long Yi and all her secrets were out in the open. She dared to confirm that he had already seen through her identity.

At this moment, the sky had already gotten bright and the sounds of hoofbeat suddenly came from outside the store. A fairly luxurious carriage stopped before the entrance of the Vermillion Jade Cuddling House and a youth jumped out of the carriage. He was wearing a skintight gown which was black and white in color. Bang, bang, bang, he knocked the door of the entrance.

Xi Hong looked outside the window and she saw the man at the entrance. Turning her head backward, she chuckled and said, "Cui Niang, your sweetheart has come. Things are going to get lively…"

Cui Niang looked at Long Yi and she snapped, "Xi Hong, don't talk nonsense! Noble son Ying isn't my sweetheart."

"Okay, okay, he is your admirer. However, if he sees this noble son, he might fly into a rage." Xi Hong didn't dare to look at Long Yi. However, she took pleasure in other people's misfortunes. She appeared as if she had made up her mind to look at this good play of rivals in love.

"Cui Niang, I am coming. Look what I bought for you." The door wasn't closed and the youth walked in with a huge bag of things. When he saw Long Yi sitting in the room, his complexion instantly became gloomy.

Long Yi squinted his eyes and looked straight towards this youth. Crown Prince Long Ying? Now, this was strange. Wasn't he busy struggling against the Ximen Clan? How could he find the time to come to the brothel and get entangled with a prostitute? This didn't seem like something he would do.

"You two, get out." Long Ying suddenly emitted a violent aura and coldly said. The two women were shocked and afraid.

Xi Hong obediently retreated. However, Cui Niang stood there and she scolded, "This is my room. Why are you asking me to leave? Furthermore, this noble son is my guest. I hope that you will not bother him."

"Cui Niang, he is my old acquaintance. We haven't seen each other in a long time and we just want to talk about the past. Can I borrow your room?" Long Yi said to Cui Niang with a smile.

"Oh..." Cui Niang responded in a daze. Turning around, she left the room.

Long Ying's handsome face instantly started twitching when Cui Niang left the room, "Ximen Yu, you truly came back."

Long Yi didn't even look up. He simply poured Long Ying a cup of wine and he said with indifference, "When did the dignified Crown Prince Long Ying fall to the point where you become jealous over a prostitute? What? After fooling around with Lady Ye, did your taste change?"

Crack, Long Ying slammed the table and one corner of the table broke. This table was made from dark rock and was extremely sturdy, yet it still broke with one slap from Long Ying.

"She is my woman, I hope you will understand." Long Ying glared at Long Yi with a murderous gaze and warned him.

"It doesn't look like that to me. Moreover, I know that as long as I am willing, Cui Niang is willing to be my woman." Long Yi smirked and said. His indifference and calm expression created a strong contrast against the ferocious expression on Long Ying's face. Even though he seemed calm, Long Yi was surprised in his heart. Long Ying, who was an expert in the game of love, had unexpectedly fallen in love with a prostitute. Since he loved her, why didn't he directly state his identity and bring her back to the imperial palace?

After thinking about it for a bit, Long Yi came to a realization. Long Ying was a very proud person. Every time he chose a target, he would do everything possible for the other party to fall in love with him. Just like what he said, perverts also had different grades. Conquering a woman's heart was much more delightful compared to simply obtaining her body. Clearly, Long Ying wanted to conquer her heart. However, Long Yi didn't expect that this dignified Long Ying would have fallen for this courtesan called Cui Niang. Long Ying had yet to conquer her heart, but he himself seemed to have truly fallen.

"I will not let you have your way." Long Ying gnashed his teeth and said. Although he seemed furious on the surface, it seemed as though he had adjusted his mental state.

"Then, it would be best for you to go and hold on to Cui Niang for now. Use that thing of yours to obtain her. I'm not as free as you are right now." The figure of Long Yi flashed and disappeared from the room.

Long Ying's handsome face which was twisted finally relaxed after Long Yi left the room. A sneer appeared on his face as he muttered, "Ximen Yu ah Ximen Yu, I will let you be arrogant for several more days. When I activate that curse within your body, I will properly enjoy the scene of you dying in pain."

At the end of the year, the temperature finally dropped. The atmosphere was no longer filled with scorching heat and the sunlight was also gentle and soft. Other than midday, the rest of the day was quite comfortable.

In the Mea Holy Magic Academy, the morning curriculum had just ended. The school ground was full of students wearing different professional dresses.

"Teacher Shui Ruoyan, please accept my absolutely sincere heart. You are so noble and beautiful just like the stars in the sky… My soul burns for you, my life blossomed for you, my..." A ten something years old boy kneeled down on one leg and loudly confessed to the most beautiful teacher in Mea Holy Magic Academy. The people who were looking at him cheered loudly.

Shui Ruoyan didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, this was not the first time this happened. If she wanted to blame someone, then she had to blame Long Yi, that stinking fellow. That shocking public confession of his was recorded down in the history books of the academy. It had now developed into the distinguishing feature of the Mea Holy Magic Academy. Just like Long Yi's love declaration in the past, every single student in the Mea Holy Magic Academy confessed their love boldly. All of the students followed in Long Yi's footsteps and they created all kinds of strange ways to confess their love..

"Okay, I got it. I will consult your matter with your advisor this afternoon. I believe that he is very willing to make your life and soul burst into bloom." Shui Ruoyan said in all seriousness.

That boy stood up with a start as the figure of a muscular big man who was 8 feet tall appeared in his mind. The huge man was digging his nostrils as he looked at this youth with a lewd look.

"Ah... Teacher Shui Ruoyan, I was wrong! I don't dare to do it anymore." That boy screamed in a sad voice. He ran away as quickly as he could.

Shui Ruoyan shook her head with a smile and walked towards her teacher dormitory.

"Grandma, I am back!" Shui Ruoyan habitually called out. However, there was no response in the house.

"Strange… Did she go somewhere?" Shui Ruoyan pushed open the door of Shui Linglong's room and saw that the room was empty.

When she was about to leave, Shui Ruoyan stopped in her tracks and her expression changed. She stared at the messy bed. One should know that Shui Linglong had always been neat and tidy. Every time Shui Ruoyan entered Shui Linglong's room, the room would be neat and tidy. However, the quilt was not folded today.

Shui Ruoyan walked in and she wanted to fold Shui Linglong's quilt for her. However, when she was about to touch the quilt, the blood drained from her face and she became quite pale. She saw a large spot of dark red bloodstain on the light blue colored quilt. The bloodstain wasn't completely dry and it seemed as though it was quite fresh.

"Grandma, grandma..." Shui Ruoyan's hands trembled and she rushed out of the room anxiously.

........

On a high mountain located at the outskirts of Mea Principality, Shui Linglong was in a seated position as she leaned on a huge rock. Her face was pale and a beautiful middle-aged lady was standing beside her. The beautiful lady was wearing a purple gown.

"How much time do I have left?" Shui Linglong calmly asked.

"Six months at most. Although the Blood Cursing Technique was stopped at the final moment, your bodily functions had already been damaged. Even I cannot help you." The beautiful lady sighed and told Shui Linglong the truth.

"Six months..." Shui Linglong smiled bitterly. Even having six months was an extravagant hope.

"If you have any last wishes then you should quickly fulfill them. If you have something you need to say, then say it. If you have something you should do, then do it. Don't let yourself pass away with regrets." The beautiful lady indifferently said. When she said regret, her expression became somewhat erratic. It seemed as though there was something she wanted to say but she wasn't able to.

"Thank you for your help these days. If it was not for you, I would already be dead. I wouldn't even know what my granddaughter had become." Shui Linglong seemed to have already accepted the fact that she was going to die. Her expression was also relaxed.

"I helped you because someone told me to. You don't have to feel that you owe me anything." The beautiful lady gently shook her head and disappeared.

Shui Linglong felt that her blood and qi was a lot smoother now and she stood up. Fortunately for her, these days, that mysterious beautiful lady used a strange method to suppress her injuries. Otherwise, there was no way for her to live up till this day. She would have already died a long time ago without knowing anything. However, it seemed as though the matter between her son and her granddaughter became a knot in her heart. It seemed as though it would be better for her to quickly resolve that knot in her heart.

When Shui Linglong returned to the Mea Holy Magic Academy, Shui Ruoyan was already at the point of going insane with worry. When she saw that Shui Linglong had returned, she hastily grabbed Shui Linglong's hand and asked, "Grandma, what happened to you? Where are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I am fine, you don't need to worry." Shui Linglong smiled and caressed the beautiful face of Shui Ruoyan.

"Then, what about the bloodstain on your quilt?" Shui Ruoyan didn't let the matter off and continued to ask.

"When grandma was meditating and attacking the bottleneck to make a breakthrough, my blood and qi deviated a little. I am already fine now. However, I failed to breakthrough." Shui Linglong calmly explained.

"So that was the case… I was nearly frightened to death." Shui Ruoyan finally relaxed and said. She had made up with Shui Linglong with great difficulty, and now, the relationship between this grandmother and granddaughter had gotten closer by leaps and bounds.

"Ruoruo, do you want to meet your father?" Shui Linglong grabbed the little hand of Shui Ruoyan and asked all of a sudden.

Shu Ruoyan was startled and didn't dare to believe what she had just heard, "Grandma, are you willing to let me go see my father?"
