Chapter 196 p1:
When Xin Yao heard Jiang Zhanyu say she was besieged by ten thousand demons, she was already done for.
Her heart felt as if it had been squeezed to dust. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she wanted to speak several times, but she couldn’t bear to interrupt Jiang Zhanyu’s words. Her lips parted and closed, trembling slightly, and in the end, she couldn’t make a sound.
The moment she quietly listened to Jiang Zhanyu finish speaking, the slight annoyance and anger she had felt towards this one for coming back and engaging in forced love, taking advantage of her situation to try to seize her, dissipated like smoke in the rainy night. In the end, all that was left was heartache.
The front line was fierce, a matter of life and death, but Jiang Zhanyu went for her sake.
The road back must have also been extremely dangerous, but Jiang Zhanyu still braved the thorns and rushed back to her side at the fastest speed.
This person was simply loving her with her life.
But Xin Yao didn’t speak. After Jiang Zhanyu’s threats and temptations were finished, she didn’t say a word. She turned and walked towards the bed behind her.
She lay down on the bed, pulled up the thin quilt, and covered her entire body, including her head, curling up there like a small silkworm cocoon, tightly wrapped in the quilt.
Jiang Zhanyu became anxious, thinking that she had really angered her. She didn’t even care about the sword in her hand anymore and threw it on the ground with a clang. She was about to go over and coax her.
After taking two steps, she remembered that she was covered in rain and blood. She quickly took off her light armor and outer robe, leaving only her inner shirt, and went to find Xin Yao clean.
Walking to the side of the bed, she gently squatted down and looked at the person who had shrunk into a small milk ball on the bed, and poked her with her finger.
Xin Yao was tickled by her poke, wiggled twice, and stuck her leg out from under the quilt to kick her.
Jiang Zhanyu just smiled, grabbed the empress’s small leg, and gave her fair ankle a hard kiss.
Then, she gently lifted a corner of the quilt, stuck her head into the slightly stuffy quilt, and brought her face close to Xin Yao’s.
But instead, she saw in the dim light of the quilt that Xin Yao, who had been silent since just now, was actually crying. As she lay on her side, teardrops slid from the corners of her eyes into her hair, one drop after another, as if she were very sad.
Jiang Zhanyu, who had been smiling and trying to be gentle to make Xin Yao relax, became even more flustered.
She eagerly leaned forward, wanting to wipe Xin Yao’s tears, but was afraid that if she rashly touched her, she would annoy her. In the end, she put down her hand in embarrassment and only said in a softer voice.
“I knew you would be angry after hearing these words. You think I’m not being a human again, don’t you? It’s my fault for forcing you again and again. Do you want to vent your anger? Yao Yao can hit me as much as you want.”
In Jiang Zhanyu’s low and submissive coaxing, Xin Yao, who was curled up in a small ball in the quilt, lifted her head slightly. When she saw the face of the person so close to her through her tears, she suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar.
It was as if in the first world, after Pei Yu had made her angry once, she had also burrowed into the quilt like this to gently coax her.
After going through so many worlds, living, dying, failing, and growing, many things had changed, but some things had never changed. They had always been very much in love, and were falling more and more in love.
Xin Yao looked at Jiang Zhanyu’s face in the faint light of the quilt, felt her warm breath, and pouted.
“I won’t hit you. My hand would hurt if I hit you, you big scoundrel! You bullied me as soon as you came back!”
“So what if I don’t agree to you? Just you try and forcibly marry me. You talk so fiercely, you’re so capable. If you have the guts, then press me on the bed and forcibly fuck me now!”
Jiang Zhanyu also looked at her.
“You said it. Then I’ll really use force. I’ll tie Yao Yao up, so you can’t move and can only watch yourself being done by me, having to take it and unable to escape.
If you’re unwilling to marry me, I’ll forcibly take you home and imprison you.”
“Jiang Zhanyu, you scoundrel!”
The crying Xin Yao became angry, pounced on her, and bit Jiang Zhanyu’s lip hard.
“I’ll bite you to death, you scoundrel!”
Jiang Zhanyu let out a light hiss, but she didn’t dodge. After the angry little cat left, she chuckled instead.
“Are you really going to bite me to death? How cruel. But if I die, who will be Her Majesty the Empress’s little dog, to guard you, protect you, and make you happy?”
“A person like you will only be a bad dog that covets me and wants to bite me.”
“Yes, I’m bad. So Yao Yao should know that I’m not joking. I’m about to go crazy now. The things I said just now, it’s very likely that I can really do them.”
As she said this, Jiang Zhanyu’s expression was very gentle. She took out her personal handkerchief and gently wiped Xin Yao’s tears.
“Don’t cry. It breaks my heart to see you. If you’re really angry with me, then hit me, scold me, and vent your anger on me. Your body is weak. Don’t hold it in.”
Xin Yao turned her face away, unwilling to let her wipe her tears, and snorted softly.
“Didn’t you say that even if I cry, you will still do that forceful thing, and you will never let go this time? Do you still care about my tears?”
“What are you saying?” Jiang Zhanyu reached out and pinched her nose. “Of course I care and my heart aches. My heart aches when I see you cry.”
“But my heart aches even more that your love is misplaced, that you are staying by such a person’s side, trapped in the mire of Great Xia. So even if my heart aches, I have to pull you out of the vortex and protect you by my side.”
“Wrong.”
“What’s wrong?”
“But also right.”
Xin Yao was no longer crying. In the warm and dark quilt that was getting hotter and hotter with two people in it, she quietly looked at Jiang Zhanyu for two seconds.
The next moment, taking advantage of the fact that the small world’s consciousness had recently relaxed its supervision of them, she suddenly half-sat up, leaned over, and gave Jiang Zhanyu a kiss on the lips.
Like a butterfly flying towards a fire, she gently showed her pity for a moment, and then quickly fluttered away.
This seemed to be the first time Xin Yao had taken the initiative to kiss Jiang Zhanyu in this world.
So much so that Jiang Zhanyu instantly froze. The person who had been calm and unfazed even when besieged by ten thousand demons, her eyes couldn’t help but widen, a startling light flashing in them.
And in her incredulous gaze, Xin Yao said softly.
“Wrong, it’s wrong that I am not in love with the wrong person. The tears I shed are not tears of anger at you, but tears of heartache for you.”
“Right, it’s right that your long-held conviction is correct. A-Yu, I do have you in my heart. I have always had you.”
“But I still have so many things I haven’t been able to do. A-Yu, can you give me some more time? When I’ve finished what I want to do, when I’ve drawn a clear line with Your Majesty, I will marry you, and we will be together forever, okay?”
Three soft and gentle sentences fell into her ears, stirring up a storm in Jiang Zhanyu’s heart, making her mind buzz and almost stop working. She could barely think.
It wasn’t until a long while later that she reacted, but she still suspected that she had misheard.
What did Yao Yao say? Did Yao Yao just say that she also had her in her heart?
And she also said, she took the initiative to say that she would draw a clear line with the little Emperor Xia, and then marry her!
And Yao Yao cried because she felt sorry for her!
Is she dreaming? Is she so desperate to marry Yao Yao that she’s hallucinating?
Afraid of bursting this beautiful dream, afraid that in the next second, this all-too-beautiful everything would disappear like a bubble.
Without even thinking, Jiang Zhanyu, as if trying to desperately grasp everything, said anxiously.
“Alright!”
“Alright! I’ll wait for you!”
“What do you want to do? I’ll do it with you. After we’re done, we’ll be together, okay? Since you’ve said it, I’ll really take it seriously, Yao Yao.”
Seeing her so anxious that she was almost incoherent, Xin Yao raised her fingertips and gently caressed her face.
“Fool, of course it’s true. You’ve said it before, liking is something that will flow out from the eyes. Isn’t the look in my eyes when I look at you obvious enough? I clearly couldn’t hide it long ago.”
“But,” as she spoke, Xin Yao frowned. “Great Xia cannot fall. The rebels must be suppressed. A-Yu, are you willing to help me?”
“Help, help, help!”
“Then Your Majesty must also be saved… Don’t give me that look when I mention Your Majesty. Will you save Your Majesty or not? Please? My wife~”
How could Jiang Zhanyu resist her wife’s coquetry? Xin Yao’s voice, with its little hook-like tail, trembled, and on the spot, it hooked her heart away. She immediately surrendered.
And she had even called her “wife”!
Jiang Zhanyu was really dizzy.
“Save! Save, save, save! Never mind asking me to save her, I’m willing to squat on the ground and bark like a dog for you right now.”
“Crazy. Don’t keep acting like a dog every day. What do I want you to bark like a dog for?”
From that night on.
Jiang Zhanyu, who was crazy with happiness because Xin Yao had confessed to her and she would soon be able to get a wife, was cheerful every day. The person who had never smiled before now had a smile on her lips wherever she went.
It was unknown what she was thinking in her heart. She would often be in a daze, not only bumping into pillars while walking, but also often laughing out loud while reading military reports.
It was quite creepy to look at.
It made Bai Yu, Mo Yu, and the others think that the general had been rejected by the empress again and had finally been so hit that she had gone mad. They were so scared that they would walk around Jiang Zhanyu every day.
Her excessive excitement and happiness made Jiang Zhanyu have an inexhaustible amount of energy.
At first, it was all used in bed to fuck her empress. For two consecutive days, she had made Xin Yao’s legs unable to close, and she was so angry that she scolded her and was unwilling to talk to her. Only then did this person finally restrain herself.
And so, she turned her attention to the battlefield.
Those rebels who had taken the opportunity to rise up and dare to enter the capital, she would kill one if one came, and if two came, she would kill a pair.
Jiang Zhanyu guarded Shengjing and killed so many people that heads rolled. The smell of blood lingered in the imperial city for several days and did not dissipate. It also scared all the rebels out of their wits. How could they dare to come to Shengjing? They turned and fled on the spot.
It even made the demons and devils on the other side of the river feel a lingering fear.
That one was really fierce. Tens of thousands of demon experts had besieged her, but in the end, they were all killed by her. She had almost single-handedly stabbed her way to their lair with a single spear.
After this battle, the demons and devils, who had suffered heavy losses, were severely weakened by Jiang Zhanyu alone.
Jiang Zhanyu, oh Jiang Zhanyu, was not unworthy of the name of the god of slaughter of Great Xia.
While Jiang Zhanyu was busy suppressing the rebellion, of course, Xin Yao was not idle.
She was so, so miserable.
That night, taking advantage of the fact that the small world’s consciousness was turning a blind eye and had relaxed its supervision of them, she had boldly confessed to her wife and had promised to marry that person after this matter was over.
That person was crazy with happiness and had forgotten to ask Xin Yao what she wanted to do. After finishing her military affairs and taking a bath, she had pounced on the bed and held her tightly until dawn without letting go.
But because she felt sorry for Xin Yao for not sleeping well recently, she had obediently not touched her.
Xin Yao had thought that this matter was over.
But the next night, just as she had regained her energy, she was bent over on the bed. And for the next two days, almost two whole days! That beast’s hand had barely left.
Xin Yao had been crying and making a fuss. Later, she even said that she was unwilling to marry Jiang Zhanyu. Only then was that person finally scared off.
