Father is too cruel 135 forced marriage

  Endless desert, the oasis's clear lake surface reflects the bright moon, the starry sky hangs in the night sky, a gust of cold wind blows, his silver armor shines with soft light, one hand grasping the long sword at his waist, the other hand clenched, his handsome face like dust, reflected in the night wind, as if fallen into the mortal world, an immortal who doesn't get stained by a single speck of dust. His cold and indifferent eyes stare straight ahead, his heart filled with excitement, yet he stands still without moving.

  After a long time, "How come you don't recognize me?" Feng Ao Tian still stood in his place, waiting for him to approach.

  Leng Qianye's heart skipped a beat, and her calm eyes seemed to clear the clouds, shining with spiritual light. She tightly grasped her clenched fingers and slowly took step by step forward, just a few short steps, but she walked extremely slowly until she reached her face, looking at the face close at hand, he raised his hands and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

  He held her tightly, without leaving any space, his sharp jaw resting on her shoulder, his dark green hair brushing against her ear, everything in front of him seemed so unreal.

  He took a deep breath and remained silent.

  Not far away, the resting soldiers looked at the person in front of them and knelt down on the ground, "Pay respects to Your Majesty!"

  The quiet desert, a clear night sky, the sound of soldiers' voices piercing through the desert, echoing non-stop.

  They were excited and able to see the emperor at this time, which was undoubtedly a comfort to them.

  Feng Ao Tian leaned against Leng Qianye with a cold expression, until after a long while, she smiled lightly and said, "How much longer do you want to hold me?"

  Leng Qianye listened to her words and increased his tone, "One life is not enough."

  Feng Ao Tian suddenly lost his smile, "Idiot."

  Leng Qianye relaxed his grip on Feng Ao Tian, his eyes burning with intensity as he gazed at her face. In front of the assembled generals and soldiers, he lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers, using up the last of his strength to savor the kiss.

  Feng Ao Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of splendor crossing them, her hands encircled his waist, rarely coordinating with him.

  A gust of wind blew up, and yellow sand filled the sky. They were embracing each other deeply, kissing, as the cold wind whipped their clothes into a frenzy.

  After a long while, Leng Qianye lowered her head and gazed at him, "Your Majesty, is it really you?"

  Feng Ao Tian raised his hand and hooked up the green silk in front of his chest. "What do you say?"

  Leng Qianye's mouth corners rose with a faint smile, like a blooming green lotus, exuding a subtle chill, yet extremely beautiful.

  Feng Ao Tian held his hand and walked slowly along the lake shore, "Lost a lot of weight?"

  Leng Qianye walked silently beside her, staring at her with an unyielding gaze.

  Feng Ao Tian didn't say much either, letting him be like that until Feng Ao Tian pulled her down to sit and look at the scenery in front of them. She turned around and looked at him.

  Leng Qianye loosened her grip and took off the battle robe from her body, spreading it flat on the ground. "Your Majesty..."

  Feng Ao Tian lowered his head, looking at the battle robe spread out beside him. She moved over and lay down next to him, tilting her head back. The moonlight tonight was particularly bright, with stars twinkling like diamonds. "The view isn't bad."

  Rei Qianye was also lying beside her, tightly leaning against her, "Your Majesty, I miss you."

  Feng Ao Tian leaned to one side, sizing him up. The faint stubble on his chin, the lean face, the dark circles under his eyes - all these made his once fair complexion look somewhat dull from exposure to the elements. She raised her hand and gently stroked his face, "Master isn't here."

  Leng Qianye gazed at her, "Your Majesty, have I become ugly?"

  Feng Ao Tian's eyes flashed slightly, "You've lost a lot of weight."

  Leng Qianye narrowed her eyes, then opened them again, leaning on her shoulder, "Even if I'm ugly, I won't leave the emperor."

  Feng Ao Tian lowered his head, and a light kiss fell on his forehead. He raised his hand, and she gazed at the vermilion mole on his palm. Her eyes sank, and indeed...

  Leng Qianye's mouth corners slightly raised as she looked at her rubbing her own palms, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

  Feng Ao Tian raised his eyes, gazing at her, putting aside the thoughts in his heart, and reached out to pull him into his arms. "I'll accompany you out of this desert."

  "No way." Leng Qianye listened to her words, his eyes gleaming with a cold light. The road ahead was fraught with unknown dangers, and he couldn't let her get into trouble with him.

  Feng Ao Tian stared at him, "I'll be with you, nothing will happen."

  "Your Majesty is the ruler of a nation, I, as your subject, cannot be too selfish and let you fall into trouble."

  Feng Ao Tian stroked his back gently through the thick armor and said in a low voice, "You are Grandfather's person."

  Leng Qianye's thoughts stirred, and she gazed at him intently. "Your Majesty, I don't want you to accompany me on this perilous journey."

  Feng Ao Tian knew that his temperament was stubborn, and he also understood that he didn't want to put himself in danger. She hooked the corner of her mouth, her fingers swept across the back of his neck, hooking his chin, "Not happy with me around?"

  "Delighted." Leng Qianye gazed at him, every time he couldn't hold on, she was his support. He had imagined countless times the scene of meeting her again, but now that he finally saw her, he didn't want to meet here because the path he chose was extremely dangerous. If he wasn't careful, he would be trapped in this desert and unable to escape. He couldn't let her accompany him to be buried together in the yellow sand.

  Feng Ao Tian sneered and stepped forward, lowering his head. His fingertips brushed against his face, "Whatever I say is what it is, no one is allowed to object."

  Leng Qianye stared at her in a daze, yes, she was the emperor, the king, she came alone to this place, suddenly appearing in front of him, shouldn't he be moved?

  "Yes, I obey." said Han Qianye in a low voice.

  Feng Ao Tian looked at him and smiled shallowly, "Take a rest, we still have an early start tomorrow."

  "Good." Leng Qianye wrapped his arms around her waist, using his broad back to block the wind and sand for him, and pulled her into his embrace, closing his eyes contentedly.

  Feng Ao knew his thoughts and was also leaning comfortably in his arms, the two of them sleeping together.

  Bai Feng had been trapped in the valley for a whole day, looking at the two roads blocked by huge rocks, then gazing at the cliffs on both sides, thinking of ways to leave.

  A gust of cold wind swept through the valley, and he seemed to have caught a whiff of a faintly sweet scent. Suddenly feeling something was off, he hastily shouted, "No one is allowed to breathe!"

  The soldiers are now in a state of high tension, and when they hear his loud shout, it's too late. In less than a moment, out of the 100,000 horses and men, about 80% have fallen to the ground, unconscious.

  Bai Feng gazed at the motionless general in front of him, his eyes gleaming with coldness as he thought about how clever he had been throughout his life, yet fell for such a simple trap. He raised his gaze and saw a figure descending from above.

  Bai Feng raised his hand and covered his nose with his sleeve. He only inhaled a tiny bit of the fragrance, but still felt somewhat weak in his limbs.

  Jinyao descended elegantly, and at a time when no one noticed, he raised his hand, sealed off Bai Feng's acupoints, and took him away in flight.

  "General!" The deputy general beside him hastily shouted loudly, but had no strength to get up.

  The cat lay on its side on the soft couch, looking at Xuan Yuanhao with a sideways glance, and then heard the movement outside the camp.

  His voice floated up faintly, "What's wrong?"

  "I want to see His Majesty!" The attendant of Xuanmo Country outside the door replied in a low voice.

  "There are two emperors here, which one do you want to see?" said the cat eunuch in a bland tone.

  "Nature is the emperor of our household." The attendant said loudly, he didn't want to make the same mistake again.

  The old cat's mouth slightly hooked, and he continued, "Your emperor and my emperor are both resting now."

  "Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report!" The attendant listened and immediately plucked up the courage to report.

  Inside the tent, however, no sound came out. He stood outside the tent, but didn't dare enter.

  The old cat said faintly, "I've told you, it's time for bed."

  The attendant listened, but was anxious and stood for a long time. After gritting his teeth, he rushed into the camp and met the fierce palm wind swung by Master Cat.

  A gust of wind struck him in the chest, and he was flung out of the tent, falling to the ground, spitting up blood, and fainted.

  "How dare you! The Emperor is resting now, how can you be so reckless?" The cat eunuch's voice echoed throughout the entire military camp, and no one dared to come in again.

  Chu Lingtian heard the voice and immediately rushed over. He saw his attendant lying on the ground, so he went forward and woke him up, "What's the matter?"

  The attendant raised his eyes, his breathing weak, and then grasped his arm tightly. "General Bai has been... trapped in the mountain valley... Now, there is no news at all..."

  "What?" Chu Ling Tian's eyes turned cold, "What is going on here?"

  The attendant looked at Chu Lingtian, now he could only count on him.

  Just now, a scout came back to report that General Bai's troops are still in the mountain valley, and both exits of the two valleys have been sealed off. Now, it is unknown whether they are alive or dead." The attendant said with his last strength, and then fainted.

  Chu Lingtian's face was overcast with dark clouds, and he got up and walked into the camp, only to be driven out by Cat Gonggong.

  He sank his face, and once again stepped into the camp, but the cat official did not wave his palm again. Instead, he was drinking tea comfortably, looking at him and saying, "Your Majesty is resting now, didn't you see?"

  Chu Lingtian turned his gaze and saw Xuan Yuanhao lying on the bed. He knew that Xuan Yuanhao had always been a light sleeper, and with such a big commotion outside just now, he couldn't have not heard it. Thinking of this, he turned to look at the eunuch, "When will Your Majesty wake up?"

  The old cat smiled and said, "It's really worthy of Xue Ke's little girl to look up to him, and he indeed has a few clever ideas."

  Chu Ling Tian now least wanted to hear was the name Xue Ke, and everything about her. She ruthlessly pushed him away, saying such resolute words, yet he still lingered on.

  "Master Cat, when will the Emperor wake up?" Chu Ling Tian knew that for now, he couldn't make any rash moves. After all, in this place, his martial arts skills were the highest. However, he hadn't seen Feng Ao Tian, it seemed that the Emperor had fallen into a trap.

  "In three days, he will be able to wake up. However, don't get impatient, only I know the efficacy of this medicine. If you provoke me, I won't guarantee that I won't make him sleep forever." The cat said slowly and calmly.

  Chu Lingtian listened and naturally understood, but now he was more worried about Bai Feng's situation, wondering how he was doing.

  That night, in the quiet and cold desert, there was a faint warmth. Before dawn, Feng Ao Tian slowly woke up, turned his body to look at the sleeping face before him, and saw a smile at the corner of her mouth.

  Leng Qianye also slowly came to, and as he opened his eyes, he bumped into Feng Ao Tian's gaze. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that last night wasn't just a dream. He raised his hand and grasped Feng Ao Tian's hand, "Your Majesty..."

  Feng Ao Tian slowly approached, his lips curled up slightly, "Get up."

  "Hmm." Leng Qianye nodded, and immediately stood up with her. The two walked to the lake shore, washed their faces with clear water, and Leng Qianye took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve, standing in front of her, wiping her face clean.

  Feng Ao Tian raised his eyes and gazed at him, smiling lightly, "When did you become so meticulous?"

  "Because it's the Emperor," said Leng Qianye in a low voice.

  Feng Ao Tian smiled slightly and also pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on his face. The two turned around, only to see that the soldiers were already ready. She rode with him on the same horse, moving slowly forward.

  Le Qi Guo, Wei Zi Mo had just received the news, turned his gaze to Xing Wu Yun, "Which family's daughter did you take a liking to at last night's banquet?"

  Xing Wuyun's mouth slightly curled up as he slowly said, "That's not right, you should say which young lady hasn't taken a liking to me?"

  Wei Zong hummed a low tone, "Bai Feng's men are trapped in the border valley between Yun Guo and Qi Guo."

  "Is that so?" Xing Wuyun listened and smiled with pleasure, "This Bai Feng is the number one war god of Xuán Mò country, but he also has times when he loses."

  Wei Zimo listened to his maniacal laughter, "Bai Feng's troops left Cai and Yun countries so smoothly, wasn't it because Emperor Le Kai had agreed?"

  Xuanyuan Yu naturally saw through his thoughts, which is why he let Bai Feng lead the troops directly across Caixia Country. Feng Ao Tian understood this too, so he set a trap to let Bai Feng fall into it." Xing Wuyun replied slowly.

  Wei Zhen said in a low voice, "I don't believe it. All things in this world can be calculated by Feng Ao Tian alone."

  "Perhaps." Xing Wuyun glanced at him sideways, "Be careful, or you might get calculated in as well."

  Wei Zimu turned his gaze and looked at him, "Aren't you already being calculated by her?"

  "Not at all." Xing Wuyun waved his hand, "I am still a carefree person as I was before."

  "I'd like to see what other tricks Feng Ao has up his sleeve." Wei Zuo Mo turned her gaze, looking at the Furan Pavilion across from her, her eyes gleaming with a cold light.

  Xing Wuyun gazed at his recent abnormal demeanor, couldn't help but feel a little helpless, raised his voice and laughed, and continued drinking on his own.

  "You're quite carefree." Wei Zuo Mo looked at him, "I just received news that the Empress Dowager intends to bestow her niece, the second young lady of her natal family, upon you."

  Xing Wuyun had just taken a sip of wine when he heard his words, and hastily got up, half-sitting, "Where did you hear that? How could I not know?"

  "Just now." Wei Zuo Mo said calmly, "Don't forget, I have everything under control in this world."

  "It seems I'd better avoid him for a while." Xing Wuyun hastily got down from the soft couch.

  Wei Zhen looked at him and said, "The Empress Dowager's maiden family is one of the four great families, the Lü clan. This legitimate second miss is renowned for her dignified and elegant demeanor, and her appearance is also exceptional. Isn't this to your liking?"

  "What's it to you? I don't like it." Xing Wuyun raised an eyebrow, looking at him, "Are you waiting for me to make a fool of myself?"

  Wei Zemu's eyes gleamed coldly, "What's so funny about your joke? It's just a trivial flirtation."

  Xing Wuyun listened to his words, "You say I go where to avoid for a while?"

  "Wei Zong looked at him, 'That Lü family's second miss, Lü Yunxiu has taken a liking to you at first sight. The empress dowager has already ordered someone to match your birth dates and if it's a good match, this marriage will likely be settled.'"

  Xing Wuyun listened, furrowing his brow even more. He had never thought about getting married himself; he had always disliked being bound and would not confine himself in the imperial palace.

  Wei Zimo looked at him with this anxious appearance and continued, "You're not a free spirit anymore, now it's time for someone to take good care of you."

  "You..." Xing Wuyun threw away the wine jug in his hand and flew into the Furan Pavilion.

  Zi Yu looked at Xing Wu Yun who suddenly fell in front of her and hastily said, "Young Master Xing, what instructions do you have?"

  Xing Wuyun looked at her, "Could this place be hiding someone?"

  "It's natural." Zi Yu replied in a low voice.

  Xing Wuyun continued, "You will hide this young master away, no one can find out."

  "Master Xing, my master said that if you get involved with any women, you have to deal with it yourself and not let me interfere."

  Xing Wuyun's face fell as he listened to her words. "What is this 'flower, flower, grass, grass' business? Does it look like I'm the kind of person who goes around flirting with every woman I meet?"

  "Like." Zi Yu replied calmly.

  Xing Wuyun's eyes turned cold for a moment, and then he lightly tapped his toes and returned to the wine building. He looked at Wei Zimo and said, "You shouldn't be so petty, should you?"

  "I've always been narrow-minded." Wei Zimo continued, "Your birthdate and Lu Yunxiu's are compatible, this matter has already been reported to your imperial brother, I'm afraid that within an hour, you will receive the imperial edict of marriage."

  "No way, I'm getting out of this godforsaken place." Xing Wuyun hastily turned around and was about to leave.

  "Even if you leave, the imperial decree will be announced, and your marriage to her will be known to all. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, Lü Yunxiu will still marry you." Wei Zimo looked at Xing Wuyun's worried appearance and felt a great deal of pleasure. In the past, he had always been indifferent, mocking himself, but now, looking at his anxious state, his mood had improved significantly.

  Xing Wuyun immediately sat down on the soft couch, "I'll go and destroy the imperial edict, if not, I'll have that Lü Yunxiu killed."

  "Even if you kill her, there will be a second Lyu Yunxiu." Wei Zimo looked at him, "The Empress Dowager's purpose in doing so is nothing more than to win you over."

  "What does it matter?" Xing Wuyun's eyes sank, "I'll go and destroy the imperial edict right now."

  Wei Zhen looked at him with this determined look and continued, "What if it were Feng Ao Tian instead?"

  Xing Wuyun turned her gaze, looking at him, "At this moment, you still have the mood to make jokes."

  "Am I joking?" Wei Zimo's face turned cold.

  Xing Wuyun continued to step forward, "If it were her, I would hide as far away as possible."

  Wei Zimo looked at him and then turned around, "Hurry up and go, otherwise it will be too late."

  "I must destroy the imperial edict, if not, I will kill that Lv Yunxiu." Xing Wuyun said fiercely, completely losing his usual carefree and unrestrained demeanor.

  Wei Zimo looked at him, everyone has a weakness, and Xing Wuyun's weakness is women.

  Xing Wuyun said angrily as he flew away.

  In the desert, Feng Ao Tian and Leng Qian Ye continued to walk forward under the scorching sun, while the soldiers behind them were exhausted, but looking at Feng Ao Tian in front of them seemed to have found support, each gritting their teeth and persevering.

  Leng Qianye took out a water bag from his side and handed it to Feng Ao Tian, "Your Majesty, have some water."

  Feng Ao Tian took over the water bag, flew up, turned around, sat in front of him, looked at his dry lips, then raised his head, took a sip of water, aimed at his lips, and poured the water into his mouth. She gently bit his dry lips, and soon they became shiny and moist.

  She then picked up her water bag and leaned into his arms, "Let's go."

  "Mm." Leng Qianye's hands tightened around the reins, wrapping her completely in his own embrace, his chin resting on top of her head, feeling her breathing, a faint smile playing on his lips.

  They moved forward slowly, Feng Ao Tian looked at the sky in front of him, then turned to Leng Qian Ye, "Pass down the order, rest in place."

  "Yes." Leng Qianye also saw from a distance, turned his head and ordered the deputy to go and pass on the message. Then, the two of them dismounted their horses.

  "Your Majesty, it seems like the weather is going to change soon."

  "Hmm." Feng Ao Tian nodded, looking at him, "Later, let the soldiers prepare ropes, wrap them around their waists, and hold hands with each other."

  "Yes." Leng Qianye hastily instructed, and then saw that the nearly 20,000 troops were also holding hands, with ropes wrapped around their bodies, standing in place.

  Feng Ao Tian raised his eyes, gazing at the distant sandstorm sweeping in, and grasped Leng Qian Ye's hand tightly. "If all goes well, by the day after tomorrow, we'll be able to leave this desert."

  Qian Ye glanced sideways, looking at her gaze shooting into the distance. He pulled Feng Ao Tian into his arms. If it were before, he wouldn't have dared to think that he had weight in her heart. But now, she stood by his side, appearing in the desert, and he knew that there was a place for him in her heart. "Your Majesty, I will always be with you."

  Feng Ao Tian Ce Mou looked at him and said, "Leng Qian Ye, remember what you said today."

  "I will remember for a lifetime." Leng Qianye replied firmly.

  Feng Ao Tian raised his eyes, gazing at the distant horizon, lifted his hand, and embracing him, flew into mid-air.

  In an instant, the entire desert was swept up in a violent gust of wind, engulfing the whole area. The soldiers in front were holding hands, but they were still blown apart. The ropes on their bodies tied them tightly together. Feng Ao Tian's body was surrounded by a layer of white light, which blocked out the strong winds. She stood upright and unwavering like a god, suspended in mid-air. The soldiers below her were tossed about by the powerful desert whirlwind, some even buried under the sand. Leng Qian Ye pulled hard on the rope in his hand, and the soldier in front of him also grasped the rope tightly. In an instant, half their bodies would be buried.

  After a long time, the wind and sand gradually subsided. Feng Ao Tian flew down and looked at the situation in front of him, "Pull the rope hard and pull out all the soldiers buried in the desert."

  "Yes." The soldiers, half of whom were buried in the sand, responded in unison. They knew that if it weren't for the Emperor, they would have been buried under the yellow sand long ago.

  Leng Qianye stood beside Feng Ao Tian, without saying a word.

  After half an hour, all the people were pulled out. The deputy general hastily stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, they are all still alive."

  Feng Ao Tian nodded slightly, "Let's go."

  "Yes." The deputy commander gave orders and immediately turned around and instructed them to carry out the task.

  Feng Ao Tian looked at Leng Qian Ye, "Look, your face is all covered in yellow sand."

  She pulled out a handkerchief, wiped the yellow sand stained on his face, brushed off the yellow sand on his body, held his hand, and the two got on horseback and continued on their way.

  On this day, Mu Han Lian successively captured three cities. If all goes smoothly, in three days' time, he will be able to attack Huang Long directly.

  Li Su was also excitedly leading his soldiers to fight bravely, now they were making a concerted effort, but it was only a brief stay.

  Wu Yue Country, Ye Mei Xi had been waiting for news from the south. Xiang Han and Chu Xiaolong exchanged a glance, both of them were worried in their hearts.

  "Your Majesty, the unrest in the south has yet to subside." Chū Xia couldn't help but speak up, "Now, the entire south is in chaos."

  Ye Mei Xing was also clear, however, he is now in a gamble, and he wants to see what Ling Feng Xue really wants to do.

  "Is it still within the controllable range?" Ye Mei Xing asked in a low voice.

  "Subordinates have secretly sent people to rush south in secret." Xiang Han replied from one side.

  "If so, within three days, Ling Xue will not have calmed down the riot in the south, and you can take action, taking her down with it."

  "Yes." Xiang Han and Chu Xia replied in unison.

  "Yexi Huiyan went away with a smile, and said in a low voice, 'Is there any news about Xuan Yuanhao?'"

  "Your Majesty, it seems that Xuan Yuan Huang has fallen into Feng Huang's trap." Chū Xiā replied from the side.

  Yè Mèi Xī listened and nodded slightly, "Everyone withdraw."

  "Yes." Chūxià and Xiāng Hán replied in unison, then retreated out of the room.

  "Master, when will you come visit me?"

  Another day passed, Chu Ling Tian stood guard outside Xuan Yuan's tent, Bai Feng led 100,000 troops to Qi Guo, now trapped in the valley, no news, and the Emperor was unconscious, all he could do was stand guard here.

  Master Cat, for the past two days, has been worried about Feng Ao Tian and couldn't sleep all night. At this moment, a small figure suddenly fell down, swiftly landing on the soft couch and sitting across from Master Cat.

  The cat gentleman looked at the little ghost in front of him, his mouth slightly raised, "You don't care about Feihe Country, what are you doing here?"

  "Nowadays, the Flying Crane Country has surrendered to the Phoenix Country and changed its name to Flying Crane City. I am no longer the emperor, so there is no need for me to guard it." The little demon in front of him stuck out his tongue and said to the cat official.

  "What are you doing here? Just by looking at your appearance, I can tell that you sneaked out." The cat looked at his small body, wearing a night-traveling outfit, with a tender face covered in dust and wind, exuding a chill all over.

  Meteor listened to Master Cat's words and quickly put his finger on his lips, "Shh..."

  The old cat looked at him and said, "Master has gone on a long journey."

  "I knew it." Meteor poured himself a cup of tea and took a big gulp, then put down the cup and looked at him.

  "What are you doing here?" The old cat looked at Flowing Star with a mature appearance, and when he saw the dust on his clothes, he quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief. "You'd better go wash up."

  "No." The meteor shook its head, "I'll wait for the fairy to come back."

  "When did you become a fairy?" The cat slowly moved away from him with disgust and looked at him.

  "She is an immortal fairy." Liuxing said loudly.

  The old cat hurried forward, covering his smiling face with one slap and covering his mouth. "Now the master is a man, if you dare to call the master a fairy again, be careful that the master will never see you again."

  Meteor opened his shining eyes, looked at Cat Lord, nodded hastily, and waited for Cat Lord to put down his hand. He took a deep breath and said, "I understand, from now on I will not call her Fairy Maiden, but Holy Master."

  "You'd better go wash up quickly, or if Master comes back and sees you looking like this, he'll surely throw you out." The cat butler hastily wiped his hands and continued.

  Meteor looked at him, raised an eyebrow, "You go and prepare a bath for me."

  The old cat raised an eyebrow, "You go yourself, I'm not going."

  "If you don't go, I'll stick to you every day and suffocate you." Liuxing pouted, hastily rolled over, sat beside Cat Gonggong, and pulled his sleeve with her dirty little hand.

  The tom cat sprang up in alarm and hastily jumped down from the soft couch, looking at the greasy mark on his own sleeve, and then at him, "What have you done with your hand?"

  "Just roasted a wild chicken." Liuxing patted his hand and looked at him, "Going or not?"

  The old cat's scalp felt numb, "Why didn't you go directly to find your master, what are you doing here?"

  "I'm still young, I can't walk too far, what if I meet bad people?" Liuxing said with a straight face and then lay down on the soft couch, looking up at the beam, "By the way, prepare some food for me, I'm so hungry."

  "Didn't you just eat roasted chicken?" said the old cat in a low voice.

  "That was two hours ago, now I'm starving." Liuxing rubbed his own sunken belly and said pitifully.

  The old cat hastily came forward, took off the outer robe with oily handprints from his body, changed into a new one, and went out of the camp.

  Meteor got up from the soft couch, looked at Xuan Yuan Yu lying on the bed, his bright eyes rolling around, and then he stood by the bedside in a flash, staring at Xuan Yuan Yu for a while, his small hands supporting his chin, turned around hastily, walked to the desk, picked up the imperial brush, came over, held the brush, and drew on his face.

  The old cat walked in with a tray of food and said, "Come and have something to eat."

  Meteor put down the pen, looked at his own masterpiece, nodded in satisfaction, then turned around, agilely jumped onto the chair, looked at the food in front of him, took a deep breath, picked up the chopsticks, and began to devour the food voraciously.

  The old cat got up and walked to the bedside, when he saw a peach blossom painted on Xuan Yuan's face, his mouth twitched, and he turned to look at Liuxing, "You'd better be careful, or Master will settle accounts with you when he comes back."

  A shooting star, on the one hand holding a rice bowl, and on the other looking at Master Cat, "I am doing this for the sake of our Holy Lord. This person's appearance is handsome and beautiful, too easily attracting romantic entanglements. I drew a peach blossom, merely to block out all the other peach blossoms."

  "Xuanyuan Huo's temper is quite bad, what he cares about most is his own appearance. If he wakes up and sees that his face has been painted like this, he will definitely eat you." Cat Gonggong continued to turn around and sat down beside Liuxing.

  "Don't worry, he can't eat me." The meteor looked at the tom cat, "My flesh is inedible."

  The cat's mouth was hooked, with a look of waiting to see the fun, watching him eat with relish, but this eating appearance... made him headache, "You are also a monarch of a country, how can you use your meals so unrefined."

  Meteor put down his chopsticks, let out a comfortable belch, stretched out his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. "I was trapped in that palace for so many years, now I'm out, I'll just take it easy...take it easy..."

  With a light leap, stretching her waist, she turned around and walked behind the screen, "Prepare a new set of clothes for me."

  The cat thought when did he become his servant, while putting away bowls and chopsticks, "No."

  "I'll tell Master Sheng about how you've been bullying me," Meteorite said tearfully.

  The old cat's mouth twitched, "I've been abusing you, bullying you."

  Liuxing knew this trick wouldn't work, so he hastily put on a smiling face and hid behind the screen, only revealing his head. He looked at Cat Gonggong and said, "Good Cat Gonggong, can you bear to see me wearing dirty clothes? That garment is stained with dog urine, pig dung, chicken droppings, and also... I was even hit by bird droppings on my head! If I wear this garment every day in front of you, can you really bear it?"

  The old cat listened to the meteor's incessant chatter, suddenly sinking his face, gritting his teeth and saying, "I... will... go... get it."

  Meteor hastily smiled and replied, then turned around, took off the clothes on his body, jumped into the bathtub, humming a little tune, taking a bath.

  The old cat walked in with a shirt, leaning on the soft couch with a headache, and now he was looking forward to his master coming back as soon as possible.

  After a refreshing shower, she put on new clothes and walked out with a lively spirit. She then sat in front of Cat Uncle, staring at his face.

  The old cat frowned and said, "What are you looking at?"

  "Why are you dressing yourself up like this, when you clearly have a face that brings disaster to the country and its people? Why don't you make good use of it?" Flowing Star said with a pout.

  "You're quite the observer." The old cat looked at the shooting star and then leaned in closer, "You sneak out, aren't you afraid that the Holy Maiden will take you back?"

  "When she comes looking for me, I'll have already met with the Holy Master. At that time, there's nothing she can do to me." Liuxing had already calculated this and said.

  "No wonder Master said you're a little devil." Cat Gong Gong shook his head and said.

  The shooting star blinked its eyes and looked at the cat, "However, I sensed that the Holy Master is currently with another man, and that person's appearance is very handsome."

  "Can you sense these?" The old cat couldn't help but be curious about the meteor, and hurriedly approached it. "What else can you sense?"

  "I'm thirsty." Meteor licked his lips and leaned back on the soft couch.

  The old cat hastily poured tea and handed it to him, "Tell me about it."

  "I was born with a connection to the Holy Master, but before, I could only faintly feel the Holy Master's presence. Since the Holy Master went to the holy altar and activated her spiritual power, I can strongly sense it." Flowing Star said leisurely while drinking tea.

  "What is Master doing with that... Kori Chiyori now?" The cat butler recalled that his master was now embracing another person, and it didn't feel right in his heart.

  "That man and the Holy Lord are sitting on the desert, the two... " Meteor glanced sideways, looking at Cat's expectant face, and continued, "The two are kissing."

  The old cat listened and pouted, grasping the handkerchief in his own hands, "I knew it would be like this."

  Meteor gazed at him with a sour and vinegar-like expression, his face lit up with joy, "Ah, the master is tearing that person's clothes..."

  The old cat pouted, pursed his lips, turned his eyes and gazed at the shooting star, "Hmph, I'm taking a rest."

  Meteor watched him with this appearance, laughed more heartily, and said, "Hey, the good show has not started yet, how can you rest?"

  The old cat let out a cold hum and said, "I'm sleepy."

  The meteor continued to move forward, approaching him, with a palm-sized small face showing cunning, "Then I'll sense it myself."

  The old cat suddenly stood up, staring at him, raised his hand and slapped him on the head, "You little devil, I don't believe your nonsense."

  Meteor listened to his words and burst out laughing, "Haha... I can indeed sense the Holy Master, as well as things within a mile of her, however, for things that are too close, I naturally cannot sense them, I'm still young."

  The old cat got up and rushed out of the camp, he had lived so long, for the first time being fooled by a little devil.

  Meteorite lay comfortably on the soft couch, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and slowly fell asleep.

  The old cat raised his eyes and happened to meet Chu Lingtian's gaze. He let out a cold hum, venting his anger on him, "You're really useless."

  "Master Cat, what do you mean by this?" Chu Lingtian looked at him with a puzzled expression as his face was filled with rage.

  The old cat suddenly turned around, stepped into the camp, and saw that Liuxing had already fallen asleep. He took a deep breath, then lay down on the soft couch, twisting the handkerchief in his hand, thinking about Feng Ao Tian's heartache.

  At this time, in the desert, Feng Ao Tian had just dismounted his horse and was holding Leng Qian Ye's hand to search for a water source. The bright moonlight shone on the two of them, casting a faint silver glow.

  Feng Ao Tian turned his gaze, looking at him, "Are you hungry?"

  Leng Qianye looked at her and nodded, "Mm."

  Feng Ao Tian took out a piece of baked cake from his bosom and handed it to him, "Eat."

  Leng Qianye looked at the roasted cake in her hand and then pushed it into her arms, "I'm not hungry."

  Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, looked at him, and bit into something herself before imprinting it onto his lips and directly feeding it into his mouth. "If you were to fall down, I would be heartbroken."

  Leng Qianye lightly bit into the food, gazing at her, then took a pancake from her hand, took a bite, mimicked her previous action, pressed it to her lips, and fed it into her mouth. He said in a low voice, "If Your Majesty is hungry, I am even more heartbroken."

  Feng Ao Tian led him, continuing to eat roasted flatbread. The two walked forward while feeding each other, finally finding a water source not far away. Feng Ao Tian quickly filled his canteen with water and led him back.

  The tom cat lay on the bed, thinking of the shooting star's words, and couldn't sleep. He thought that his master was holding someone else, and felt unbearable pain, so he got up and walked out of the camp.

  Chu Lingtian had been guarding outside the camp, and saw that Cat Gonggong came out again. He stepped forward and asked, "Cat Gonggong, what did you mean by your previous words?"

  Master Cat raised his eyes and looked at him, "I'm asking you, what's your intention towards Xue Ke?"

  Chu Lingtian listened to Master Cat's words and fell silent for a moment, "Probably can't bear to part with it."

  "It's not abandoned if it's not abandoned, what's the big deal." The cat said with a cold hum.

  Chu Lingtian looked at the disdain in his eyes and took a deep breath, "It's reluctance."

  The old cat walked a few steps forward, "If you don't want to let go, why put your hands down?"

  "It was she who pushed me away." Chu Ling Tian continued.

  "Have you ever thought about why?" The old cat looked at the distant horizon and asked.

  "I understand, perhaps because I understand, that's why I'm reluctant to part. Chu Ling Tian knew what was between them, but now, no matter how much reluctance there is, they can't be together."
