Time flew, and it was dark in the blink of an eye. The Tongtian River was getting closer and closer, and Ye Zhen could feel the dreadful power coming from it. Emperor Mo's face became more and more unsightly.
Thinking that this was the last time she would be with him, Ye Zhen's mood was indescribably relaxed … and inexplicably complicated.
After Ming Xi was full, he hid somewhere, leaving only Ye Zhen and Emperor Mo on the deck.
"Lord Mo, it's getting late. I'll go back to my room first." Ye Zhen didn't want to be alone with him. She felt so strange today. It was the first time she had such a complicated and uncomfortable feeling.
"Okay." A smile flashed across Emperor Mo's handsome face. He reached out and took Ye Zhen's hand. "Let's go."
Ye Zhen froze and stared at him. "Do you still want to go back to my room with me?"
"We only have one night to spend together. Do you think …" Emperor Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled, his deep and quiet eyes sparkling with dazzling light. "Do you think I won't cherish time?"
Cherish what time! Ye Zhen remembered the scenes of being pressed under him several times and wanted to kick him out of the boat.
"Yao Yao, after tomorrow, we will be separated. There are only a few hours left. Don't make trouble." Emperor Mo held her hand tightly. "Tonight … I won't force you. Let's just talk."
"What do you want to say?" Ye Zhen scoffed at his assurance. If he was alone with her, it would be strange if he didn't make a move.
Emperor Mo held her in his arms. "Whatever you say, I'll listen to you."
"There's nothing to say." Ye Zhen sneered. See, this is already breaking the rules.
"If you don't know what to say …" Emperor Mo looked down at her angry little face and held her by the waist. "Then let's do something else."
Ye Zhen scolded angrily. "You are the dignified lord of Tianhao City. You have lived in this world for hundreds of years. Haven't you seen a woman? Why … why do you have to molest me, a married woman? Don't you think you are despicable and shameless? "
"I've only touched you," Emperor Mo said lightly. "For hundreds of years, only you."
Ye Zhen choked. "Madman!"
"Besides, you are my wife, and I am your husband," Emperor Mo said with a smile.
"Go to hell!" Ye Rou cursed.
"How could I bear to." Emperor Mo lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth. "As long as you're alive, I can't bear to leave you."
Ye Zhen rolled her eyes. She had nothing to say to him.
Emperor Mo carried her back to the room.
In the darkness of the night, the Flying Spirit Ship passed through layers of thick clouds. The moon was ethereal and the stars were dazzling. The scenery outside the window was picturesque, giving off a sense of tranquility and warmth.
"Yao Yao …" Emperor Mo sighed softly and lowered his head to block all of Ye Zhen's words.
Ye Zhen's hands clung to his shoulders tightly and she fell asleep in waves. She seemed to hear his whispers in her ears. She was not tired, but her eyelids were too sleepy to open.
"Wait for me to go back and find you." Monarch Mo reluctantly came out of her body. A powerful force came from outside the flying spirit ship, forcing him to be on his guard.
He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Ye Zhen's forehead before leaving the room.
Bai Shisan and Shun Jun were already waiting for him outside.
"City Lord, we're almost at the Tongtian River. The Sages of the Divine Continent are nearby. You …" Bai Shisan looked at Emperor Mo worriedly.
Emperor Mo looked at the Tongtian River in front of him in silence. "Mm."
"How about …" Shun Jun suggested in a low voice, "we go back."
Bai Shisan looked at him speechlessly.
"An Ge will come to pick you up after you cross the Tongtian River," Emperor Mo said in a low voice. Emperor Mo said in a low voice, "If I were to appear, I would only attract their attention. At that time, I would implicate them. When they return to the human continent, you must personally deliver them to An Ge."
"Don't worry, City Lord. We will." Bai Shisan promised.
Emperor Mo looked into the distance. He wanted to personally send them back to the human continent. Although his cultivation had not reached its full potential, it was enough to attract the attention of the Sages of the Divine Continent. Given the grudge between him and some people, they would certainly not let him go.
If he was alone, he naturally had nothing to fear. But Ye Zhen was here … She was his weakness. Even a touch would make his whole body hurt. How could he bear to put her in any danger?
The dawn in the east grew more and more obvious. The Tongtian River was not far away, and the power belonging to the Divine Continent grew stronger.
"Are you leaving?" Ming Xi walked up from behind.
"Mm." Emperor Mo smiled and reached out to touch Ming Xi's head. "You will have a smoother journey to the Divine Continent without me here."
"You really … don't intend to tell mother the truth?" Ming Xi asked in a low voice.
Emperor Mo pursed his thin lips. "She will know in the future."
"You're cruel to yourself and also to mother," Ming Xi complained sullenly.
"It's for your mother's good," Emperor Mo said in a low voice. She could only leave in peace if she didn't know.
Ming Xi glanced at the morning glow in the east. "It's dawn."
Emperor Mo chuckled. "I must go."
He patted Ming Xi on the shoulder and went back to the house to see Ye Zhen.
A touch of morning glow shone on Ye Zhen's sleeping face, making her skin look even more white and jade-like. He bowed his head and kissed her pink lips reluctantly. "I'm leaving, Yao Yao."
"Ah Zhan …" Ye Zhen seemed to be in a dream. "Don't go, don't go."
Emperor Mo's heart suddenly tightened. For a moment, he almost changed his mind. He buried his face in her neck. "I will find you."
Ye Zhen's breathing was even and long, not realizing that she was parting with her beloved.
When the sky was bright, Ye Zhen woke up from her sleep. She rubbed her eyebrows, wondering why she was so tired last night that she slept so soundly.
"Mother, you're awake?" Ming Xi saw Ye Zhen on the deck and waved with a smile. "Look, we are on the Tongtian River."
Ye Zhen took a closer look and found that they were not flying in the air, but in the water. The sunlight fell through the mist and fell on the ship, reflecting dazzling colorful light, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland.
"Where is Emperor Mo?" Ye Zhen suddenly thought of the man and asked casually.
"Madam, the governor has left," Bai Shisan said in a low voice.
Left? Ye Zhen's lips curled into a smile, but it quickly disappeared. An indescribable bitterness welled up in her heart.
She should be happy that he's not here. Why would she feel sad?
Ye Zhen clutched her chest, as if something had torn open in her heart. "When did he leave?"
"He left at daybreak." Ming Xi said.
Fire Phoenix giggled. "Yao Yao, if you can't bear to leave the governor, we can go back now."
"Why should I go back?" Ye Zhen said lightly. Her lover and daughter were still waiting for her. She wanted to go back to find them.
