Jiang Haitian sighed deeply, gently embraced Song Yanran's delicate body, and whispered, "I'm sorry, it was my oversight."
I just didn't want you to worry, that's why I didn't tell you. I didn't expect it to cause you so much trouble. It's all my fault.
Song Yanran raised her head and stared blankly at Jiang Haitian: "Don't apologize to me. The three most heartless words in this world are 'I'm sorry.'"
All I need is to feel your presence, to feel your heartbeat, to feel your breath.
I'm terrified that the heart-wrenching pain of my past life will repeat itself. Please promise me, don't make me worry anymore.
"Okay, I promise you, I won't make you worry anymore, Yanran."
"Call me, yes, just call my name like that, call it a few more times, I like it when you call me that!"
"Yanran, Yanran..."
Overwhelmed by Jiang Haitian's soft calls, Song Yanran buried her head in his chest once more.
At this moment, her wandering heart finally found its home.
But that's not enough.
"Please change back, okay? Change back to your original form, even though I know you are him."
But I want to see you as you truly are; only then can I completely give myself to you.
Song Yanran raised her eyes and said.
"Ever since we parted at Weiyang Palace, I've realized I'm no longer content. I don't just want to feel your presence; I want to imprint you firmly in my heart."
Do you know how envious I was of Su Meimei when you and Su Meimei took that step? I was so envious of her being able to become your woman.
Today, will you make me your woman too? Right here, I want to give myself completely to you.
Jiang Haitian was startled upon hearing this, and gently stroked Song Yanran's head: "Listen to me, Yanran, I..."
"Don't you want to?"
Song Yanran raised her head and gazed at Jiang Haitian with deep affection.
Those tearful eyes were truly captivating.
"Are you unwilling?"
She asked again, afraid of hearing an answer that would break her heart.
Since their parting at Weiyang Palace, Song Yanran had felt some regret.
This time, she mustered up immense courage, determined to take the final step of her life with the man who haunted her dreams, offering up what she had protected for over two thousand years—her most precious possession.
"Don't misunderstand Yanran, I promise you, but really not now."
Seeing the disappointment gradually appear in Song Yanran's eyes, Jiang Haitian immediately explained.
"I have important matters to attend to right now, and one wrong move could lead to complete failure, so Yanran, please give me a little more time."
I will give you a satisfactory answer. After the matter of the Demon Realm is resolved, I will answer the question you asked me in the Weiyang Palace last time, okay?
Upon hearing this, Song Yanran's previously dim eyes finally regained a glimmer of hope.
"With your words, I can continue to wait for you, but could you please not make me wait too long?"
My dear sister Su has attained a happiness I haven't experienced in two thousand seven hundred years in just twenty short years. This is so unfair to me.
Honestly, I'm jealous. I don't want to wait any longer, you know? When a woman gets jealous, she's capable of anything.
Jiang Haitian pulled her into his arms and gently comforted her, "I won't keep you waiting long, really."
Hearing Shen Zhao's gentle yet firm tone, Song Yanran's heart gradually calmed down.
The two cuddled together for a long time before sitting down on the bed.
"I've heard that you were entrusted by Empress Dowager Gu to rescue Yu Xiyan and bring her back to Chang'an, is that right?"
"This is only part of it. If my only goal was to save Yu Xiyan, I wouldn't have stayed in the Demon Realm for half a year."
"Could it be that you want to..."
"Yes, the situation in the Demon Realm is complex. The Demon Breath Palace and Demon Abyss City are now irreconcilably opposed, and a major war is inevitable."
"I want to eliminate both Leng Qingcheng and Yue Beiqing in this internal struggle within the Demon Realm, restoring peace to the Demon Realm and simultaneously expanding the influence of the Court of Judgments within its borders."
Song Yanran thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Wasn't this also for Su-meimei's sake?"
"Um."
Jiang Haitian did not deny it.
Song Yanran: "You don't need to be nervous. I'm not the kind of woman who can't let things go."
After so many years of ruling, I'm actually quite tired of it all. I'll wait until the situation in the Central Region stabilizes in a few years...
I plan to appoint my younger brother as regent, and then pass the throne to him…
She glanced at Jiang Haitian as she spoke, her cheeks flushing slightly.
“Pass it on to my child with Shen Zhao.”
"Cough cough..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Haitian was momentarily at a loss for words.
Song Yanran grabbed his hand: "So, for my happiness, please don't keep me waiting too long."
"Um……"
Jiang Haitian didn't know what to say for a moment. He wanted to refuse but was afraid of hurting Song Yanran's feelings. If he agreed, would she think he was scheming?
So they simply gave vague answers.
Let's take it one step at a time from now on.
"By the way, you didn't attack Leng Qingcheng because of the Chaos Demon Pearl on her body?"
Song Yanran cut straight to the heart of the matter.
Jiang Haitian nodded: "The Chaos Demon Pearl is a divine weapon of creation, containing the power of Yin and Yang chaos. It can endlessly draw upon the spiritual power of the void for its own use."
But I already have a solution to this problem. Besides that, I also want to draw out the mole that Demon Abyss has secretly planted within Demon Breath.
"An inside man?"
"In the Battle of Tianqing Gorge, the Demon Abyss army advanced with unstoppable momentum, easily breaching all thirteen lines of defense in Tianqing Gorge. It seems they already knew the military deployment of Tianqing Gorge."
After six months of investigation, I can say with absolute certainty that Leng Qingcheng has Yue Beiqing's inside man.
