"Hehe, it’s definitely going to be exciting! I’ve been annoyed by that Crown Prince for a while now, I’m going too tonight." At this mont, Long ng heard Long Chen talking with Shi Feng and chid in playfully.
Long ng’s birth mother had died early, and she was raised by her own mother. Although they were not blood siblings, they were as close as real siblings since she had watched Long ng grow up from a child. Therefore, Long Chen didn’t avoid her in the conversation because he knew she would never betray him.
"You can’t go," Long Chen quickly objected. "If you go, you’ll only hold Young Master Feng back."
"No way, I want to go! I stay in the palace all day with nothing to do, I’m totally bored, and it’s rare to have sothing fun like this." Long ng coaxed Long Chen, then seeing he was still firmly opposed, she turned to Shi Feng and started to act coquettishly: "Brother Shi Feng, please take with you."
"Alright, I’ll take her. Don’t worry, she won’t be in any trouble with around." Under Long ng’s coaxing, Shi Feng turned to Long Chen and spoke.
"But..."
Long Chen wanted to say sothing else, but then he saw Long ng grabbing Shi Feng’s arm, swaying it gently, and putting on a wronged expression with her lips pouting, "I knew Brother Shi Feng is the best." Then she shot a look at Long Chen, "Better than Brother."
"This girl..." Long Chen watched Shi Feng and Long ng getting close and suddenly realized sothing: if she could be with Young Master Feng, that wouldn’t be bad.
Long Chen took another careful look at Shi Feng: although his personality was bold, he was indeed a handso talent, and his Martial Arts Talent was unmatched in the Yunlai Empire, stemd from the Nine Nether Lineage.
Then, Long Chen sternly told Long ng, "If you go, don’t cause any trouble, don’t create problems for Young Master Feng."
"I won’t, I’m very well-behaved," Long ng replied, making herself look docile and weak.
"Alright, I have so matters to attend to in my mansion. You go with Young Master Feng and have a good tour around the Imperial City. Rember, don’t cause any trouble." Having thought through the previous conversation, Long Chen wanted to create a chance for them to be alone together.
"I know," Long ng nodded like an obedient little rabbit.
"Young Master Feng, I’ll be leaving first. Please take good care of this girl," Long Chen said to Shi Feng.
"Mm, don’t worry. See you tonight." Shi Feng responded.
"See you tonight." Then Long Chen turned and left. Once Long Chen was completely out of sight, Long ng suddenly beca lively again, exclaiming, "Yay! Freedom! No one’s controlling now."
"This girl..." Shi Feng shook his head speechlessly.
"Brother Shi Feng, let’s go! I’ll take you to a fun place," Long ng said, becoming excited about the place she ntioned, then urged Shi Feng, "Co on, hurry up, Brother Shi Feng."
Then, Long ng started humming a tune, skipping joyfully ahead. Walking behind, Shi Feng watched her small figure gradually imrsing in his thoughts.
"Bro, I’ll tell you about a great place, let’s hurry over."
"Bro, the mountain is filled with so many beautiful flowers, let’s go quickly!"
"Bro, walk faster! Otherwise, all the flowers will be picked by others, and we won’t have any."
"Bro..."
"Brother Shi Feng, why are you walking so slowly? Hurry up." Up ahead, Long ng suddenly stopped her bouncing and turned around to shout at Shi Feng.
With that call, Long ng pulled Shi Feng out of his reverie. The scene was as familiar and warm as it had first been; Shi Feng nodded at Long ng and smiled, "Yes, alright!"
Shi Feng hastened his steps to walk alongside Long ng, who said, "Brother Shi Feng, I’ve noticed you seldom smile. You do look quite nice when you smile, you know."
"Is that so?" Shi Feng responded, pulling another smile at Long ng.
"Hahaha, that smile didn’t look good at all; it was kind of silly," Long ng burst out laughing.
This girl...
Gradually, the two of them moved away from the crowd to a desolate and remote area, and soon enough, a forest appeared in front of them. Shi Feng saw that on the edge of the forest, an army was stationed.
At an entrance to the forest stood a large, towering stele with four golden characters engraved on it: "Royal Forbidden Land!"
"Royal Forbidden Land!" Shi Feng read the characters softly, thinking to himself, this girl, she actually brought here.
"Halt!" At the forest entry, a line of Golden-armored Soldiers, seeing people approaching, quickly shouted, "Royal Forbidden Land! Trespassers will be killed without rcy! Leave imdiately."
"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!" The Golden-armored Soldiers at the edge of the forest drew their swords in unison. The sound echoed fiercely, an intimidating air perated around, as swords, spears, and arrows were all pointed at Shi Feng and Long ng.
Long ng quickly grabbed Shi Feng, stopping him, and pointed to the forest, "That’s the place, Brother Shi Feng. You’re so powerful, take inside, will you?"
"Hm? With your status as a princess, you can’t enter?" Shi Feng asked.
"Who can enter, huh? Father Emperor has decreed that no one is allowed here," Long ng said.
"So you say this place is fun, and you brought to a fun place?" Shi Feng asked, puzzled.
"Of course it’s fun! Definitely fun!" Long ng said earnestly, "In the Imperial City, I’ve been to almost every place, even every corner of the Imperial Palace, but this is the only place I’ve never entered since I was little. They just won’t let in, and ever since I was very young, I’ve been wondering what’s inside here, why my Father Emperor won’t allow people in.
Hurry, hurry, Brother Shi Feng! Take inside to see, please?" Long ng pleaded in a coquettish voice at the end.
The Golden-armored Soldiers here were at least at the Martial Spirit Realm, with several at the Martial King Level, including even the Peak of Nine-star Martial King, so with Long ng’s strength, it was indeed difficult to break in.
"Attack!" Seeing that Shi Feng and Long ng hadn’t entered yet, the leader of the Golden-armored Soldiers imdiately issued a deadly command.
"Do you really want to go inside and see?" Shi Feng turned around and asked Long ng.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!" Long ng nodded vigorously. Then, Long ng suddenly noticed the world around her growing dark, "Ah! What’s happening, where is this?" Long ng exclaid in alarm.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, the Nine-star Martial King above can sense your voice. We’re underground," ca Shi Feng’s voice next to Long ng’s ear.
"Underground!" In the darkness, Long ng’s surprised voice rang out again, "Ah!" Imdiately after, her surprise turned to delight: "Brother Shi Feng, you truly are amazing! Why didn’t I ever think of going under the ground? If only I’d known we could do this, I would have dug a tunnel a long ti ago and slowly made my way here."
For a mont, Shi Feng was at a loss for words.
