Longyi was bewildered. When he saw these several tens of human-shaped ice sculptures, his first thought was Wu Shuang. That was purely a conditioned reflex.
"What's going on? Ah … this is … "Nalan Ruyue also opened the curtain and stretched her head out. Seeing the human-shaped ice sculptures in front of her, she couldn't help but cry out in alarm. She also felt the remaining dense water magic elements in the air.
Longyi lightly stepped on the ground and as if a roc, he flew high and floated in front of these human-shaped ice sculptures. And behind him were Red Lady and Bull.
Longyi frowned and swept his gaze. Looking at the attire of these people, they should be some small mercenary group. There were warriors and magicians among them.
"Eh, they aren't frozen by ordinary ice." Red Lady cried out in alarm after using the Scarlet Blood Bow in her hand to test the waters.
Longyi stretched out his hand and immediately felt a bone-piercing cold feeling invading his body. He retracted his hand and muttered: "Mysterious Yin Ice."
That's right, it was indeed Mysterious Yin Ice. Only Great Devil Master could form Mysterious Yin Ice with such a large area of attack. And looking at the entire Blue Waves Continent, other than Water Master Archmage Shui Linglong, only Wu Shuang who had reached Magic God realm had this ability. Could it be that she also came to Nalan Empire?
"There is nothing to see. Let's set off. Everyone, strengthen your vigilance." Longyi indifferently said, then turning around, he returned to the carriage.
A large group of people began to set off again. Blue Waves Continent was a world where the weak were prey to the strong. That scene of just a moment ago only increased everyone's suspicion towards the caster. Therefore, along the way, discussions were unceasing. Some people said it was done by Shui Linglong and some people said it was done by a hidden expert. Everyone had their own opinions.
After entering the carriage, Longyi became silent. His eyes were unfocused. Sometimes he would smile and sometimes he would frown. His expression kept changing. This made Nalan Ruyue want to ask but she didn't dare to ask at this critical juncture.
"Is it Wu Shuang? That should be the case. She still hasn't remembered what happened in the past. Otherwise, why wouldn't she come to find me? "Long Yi sighed softly in his heart. He thought of all the things that had happened since they first met, and his heart became even more desolate.
Seeing Longyi suddenly changing into this lonely appearance, Nalan Ruyue finally couldn't bear it anymore. She pulled Longyi's sleeve and asked softly: "What's going on with you? You've been depressed ever since you saw those frozen people. Do you know who did it? "
Longyi shook off Nalan Ruyue's hand in annoyance and said impatiently, "Don't bother me. Let me have some peace."
Nalan Ruyue was startled. She felt wronged in her heart, and her eyes reddened, almost tearing up. Wasn't she just worried about him? Who knew that his good intentions would not be rewarded. He was even hated by others.
Nalan Ruyue sniffled and held back her tears. Throwing a tantrum, she turned around and continuously cursed in her heart: "Cruel and unscrupulous bastard, ungrateful stinky bastard, heartless and fickle bastard …
Long Yi, however, was still immersed in his own thoughts. Not knowing how long had passed, he gnashed his teeth and said in his heart: "Wu Shuang, you are my woman. I will never allow you to forget me, never. "
Thinking until here, Longyi's eyes flickered with incomparably firm light. His heart relaxed a lot, and confidence returned to his side.
Coming back to his senses, he saw that Nalan Ruyue only gave him a back view, and Xiao Cui was hatefully looking at him, seemingly wishing that she could bite him.
"Hey, the atmosphere is somewhat not right. What's wrong with you? Xiao Cui, do I have enmity with you? Why are you looking at me like that? "Longyi shrugged and asked with a smile.
"Humph, don't talk to me. I don't want to talk to you." Xiao Cui turned her head, and her tone was 70% to 80% similar to her master Nalan Ruyue.
Longyi was startled, and he roughly guessed that his words just now had angered this master and servant pair.
In the following days, Nalan Ruyue really didn't speak half a word with Longyi, and also didn't give Longyi a good expression, making Longyi lightly sigh in his heart: "Women, no matter how dazzling the halo on their body is, their heart is as small as a needle point."
Time was like the wheels of a carriage, rolling and rolling, and ten days and nights had passed. At this time, Longyi's team had also passed through several big cities, and they were about to reach the capital of Nalan Empire, Blue Moon City.
What made Longyi somewhat pleasantly surprised was, the closer they got to Blue Moon City, the cooler and more pleasant the weather became. Moreover, the scenery was very elegant. It didn't have the rugged Hengduan Mountain Range, it didn't have the flashy Dragon Empire, and it also didn't have the desolation of Proud Moon Empire. Instead, it had a kind of fairy-like exquisiteness. Green mountains and clear waters, birdsong, fragrant flowers, countless exotic flowers and rare grasses, and even the city was so exquisitely built. It didn't have a majestic momentum, but it had a different kind of charm.
Along the way, Longyi came to a conclusion, Nalan Empire was definitely the most suitable country for humans to live in, but there was a precondition, and that was in an era of peace.
Nowadays, the war with Proud Moon Empire was repeated, and more than half of some border cities had already been destroyed. All the common people of Nalan Empire were also fearful, because many families' youngsters had been summoned to join the army because of this war. Every time the list of casualties was calculated, there would always be some white-haired old men, young wives, and young children mourning. A tragic atmosphere shrouded the entire Blue Waves Continent, which was incompatible with the elegant scenery.
The large group of people turned into an unusually wide street, and there was an endless stream of caravans and travelers coming and going.
"Ah, it's the carriage of the imperial family, and there is also the Lightning Mercenary Group. Princess Ruyue and Lord Fu Ma have definitely returned. This time, we don't need to be afraid anymore." A passerby excitedly said to his companion. The arrival of Nalan Ruyue and Longyi would have a chain effect on Nalan Empire as well as the entire Blue Waves Continent.
"That's right, that's right, Proud Moon Empire is too intolerable, they have killed many officers and soldiers of our empire. This time, we will join hands with Dragon Empire, and we will definitely flatten Proud Moon Empire." That companion hatefully said. It could be assumed that there were relatives and friends who had died in the war.
The group slowly advanced, and they could already vaguely see the city gate in the front.
Longyi opened the curtain of the carriage, and stretched his head out. Suddenly, a burst of cool and refreshing wind blew over, and he suddenly smelled a trace of salty smell of the sea. He pricked up his ears, and he could faintly hear the sound of sea waves.
"Princess, we can immediately return home, you smell, it is the smell of the sea." Xiao Cui excitedly began to chatter.
"Yes. We will immediately reach home. "A trace of smile appeared on Nalan Ruyue's face.
Longyi stared at Nalan Ruyue, and said with a smile: "Ruyue, my wife, are you still going to be angry with me?"
Nalan Ruyue snorted, and her expression was not so firm. As a matter of fact, a few days ago, she had the heart to reconcile with Longyi, but she was unable to put down her face. Moreover, this dead man unexpectedly didn't give her a way out, moreover, from time to time, he would chat intimately with Red Lady, which almost angered her to death.
"We will soon arrive at Blue Moon City. If you still ignore me, then what will your father emperor and your people think? They will think that there is a problem between us, and wouldn't they be worried to death? "Longyi shamelessly sat beside Nalan Ruyue and said with a smile.
"Who … who is ignoring you? It is obviously you who is ignoring me. "A trace of smile appeared on the corner of Nalan Ruyue's mouth, and she bluntly made a counter-accusation.
Longyi rolled his eyes, and his big hand grabbed Nalan Ruyue's small hand. This girl, she obviously wanted to talk to him long ago. Moreover, she stubbornly insisted on maintaining her face.
"What are you doing, let me go." Nalan Ruyue's heart madly jumped when her lily-white hand was grabbed. She blushed and reprimanded Longyi.
"You are my wife, we haven't talked for so many years, we should cultivate our feelings, don't you think so, Xiao Cui?" Longyi thickened his face and asked with a smile.
Xiao Cui giggled. She was angry at Longyi because princess was wronged, but in less than a day, she began to help persuade Nalan Ruyue. At this moment, seeing the two of them reconcile, she was naturally happy. She had followed beside Nalan Ruyue since childhood, so she had a very deep understanding of her master. She had a gentle temperament. She had a gentle temperament, except for her relatives, she was estranged from everyone. Because of her beauty, some annoying flies had never stopped, but she had never seen Nalan Ruyue give special treatment to any noble young master. Until in Mea Principality, she met the legendary Ximen Clan's second young master of the Dragon Empire, she suddenly discovered that the princess had changed. Whether it was the way she looked at him or the way she talked to him, her appearance had completely changed. Sometimes, she could even see her charming appearance like a little woman. At that time, Xiao Cui knew that the feeling of her princess towards Ximen Yu was not ordinary.
Nalan Ruyue rolled her eyes at Longyi, but she didn't struggle anymore. Merely, because of nervousness and shyness, her little hands were soaked with sweat. She felt that Longyi would laugh at her.
"Is it because we're so close to home that you're nervous? Your palms are sweaty." Longyi gently smiled and turned over Nalan Ruyue's palm, wiping the sweat on her palms. In fact, how could he not understand why Nalan Ruyue was nervous.
Nalan Ruyue's heart was softened by Longyi's warm smile. She obediently let her little hands be held by Longyi, and suddenly felt a kind of happy feeling.
At this time, the gate of Blue Moon City had been heavily surrounded by soldiers, and access was temporarily interrupted. A handsome middle-aged man with millet hair, dressed in a blue and purple imperial robe and wearing a blue crown on his head was particularly prominent. His face was dull and somewhat pale, but he had a very refined temperament.
The middle-aged man was surrounded by dozens of fully armed guards, and behind him were several old men dressed in various magic robes. They should be the court magicians of the Nalan Empire, and the middle-aged man should be the emperor of the Nalan Empire, Nalan Wuji.
In addition to the middle-aged man, there were also dozens of civil and military officials. It seemed that the reception standard of the Nalan Empire was several grades higher than that of the Dragon Empire. But it was also reasonable. As an important marriage partner of the Nalan Empire, Longyi ought to receive such attention.
Looking at the luxurious carriages escorted by the cavalry and the Lightning Mercenary Group, Nalan Wuji's slightly pale face revealed a trace of a gratified smile. Although there was a trace of guilt in sacrificing the happiness of his precious daughter, but in exchange for the alliance with the Dragon Empire, the harvest was far greater than the cost. Yes, the imperial family had always been indifferent to kinship. The marriage of children was all in exchange for the maximization of the interests of the imperial family. Nalan Wuji was undoubtedly very successful in this regard.
The procession slowly stopped. The officials who accompanied Nalan Ruyue to the Dragon Empire quickly ran down and respectfully knelt down in front of Nalan Wuji along with the two hundred escorting cavalry.
After they finished kneeling, Longyi slowly got down from the carriage, reached out his hand to help Nalan Ruyue down, and calmly walked to the front of Nalan Wuji.
"Ximen Yu pays respect to Your Majesty." Longyi slightly bowed in salute.
"Daughter Nalan Ruyue pays respect to Father Emperor." Nalan Ruyue made a salute in the palace, and her expression restored as indifferent as before.
Nalan Wuji examined Longyi with his lightning-like eyes. After a long time, he smiled and said: "Good, very good, now go back to the palace and prepare for the ceremony tonight. At that time, we father and son-in-law must drink a few cups."
"Of course, but I don't know if there is any fine wine in the palace." Long Yi asked.
"Hehe, it seems worthy son-in-law is also a wine expert. There is a wine named Sea Soul in the palace. It is mellow and has a profound fragrance. I think it is not inferior to the Hundred Flowers Wine of Elf Clan." Nalan Wuji smiled and patted the shoulder of Longyi to show his affection.
"Then this son-in-law will definitely taste it." Longyi said with a smile with shining eyes. There were very few wines in this world that could be mentioned in the same breath as the Hundred Flowers Wine.
At this time, Red Lady led her troops to stop at one side. She very much disliked this kind of officialdom. She felt very disgusted.
At this time, Longyi arrived beside Red Lady. Red Lady also jumped down from the horse and looked at him with a little smile in her beautiful eyes.
"Red Lady, speaking of which, thanks to your guards these days, I am really very grateful." Longyi said to Red Lady.
"Young Master Ximen, what are you talking about? After exploring with you several times, this little girl's knowledge has indeed increased a lot. I should be the one thanking you." Red Lady said to Long Yi. These days, she liked to look for Longyi to chat with him. He would always come up with some amazing words. Moreover, what he said was clear and logical. Even if people didn't want to believe him, they had no choice but to believe him. Because of the intimate conversation between the two of them, the surrounding people ambiguously said that even a stone-hearted person like her was moved. Red Lady also didn't refute. She had a good impression of Longyi, but the majority of it was appreciation. The feeling between a man and a woman shouldn't be counted.
"Hehe, let's not be sour. Now, I have to go to the imperial palace. I came here to bid farewell to you." Long Yi said.
Red Lady nodded her head and said with a smile: "Then, we will bid farewell here. Our mercenary group will stay in Blue Moon City for a period of time. If Young Master Ximen is free, you can come to the adventurer's bar in the city to look for me. As long as you tell the bartender, someone will bring you to see me."
