"Fine, fine, I really can't do anything with you." Ning Yu sighed, his tone seemingly carrying years of helplessness and doting affection.
Her shoulders slumped slightly, as if she had let go of all her defenses and insistence. "You can go, but you must stay close to me at all times and not wander off even a step."
If you encounter any danger, immediately hide behind me, understand?
Although his voice remained steady and powerful, the concern it contained was as warm as the spring sun, overflowing from his words and warming one's heart.
Upon hearing this, Ning Shuyao's eyes, which had been as dull as still water, instantly lit up.
Like the brightest star in the night sky, it shines with dazzling light, as if it can illuminate the whole world.
The gloom on her face vanished, and a bright smile appeared on her lips.
That smile was like the most beautiful flower in spring, blooming freely, bright and captivating, making it impossible to look away.
She responded cheerfully, her voice clear and melodious, like a babbling brook in the mountains, tinkling and skipping like a bird that had regained its freedom, hopping and skipping to Ning Yu's side.
She reached out and affectionately took Ning Yu's arm, leaning forward slightly and resting her head on Ning Yu's shoulder.
She said in a sweet voice, "Second brother is the best! I knew you would agree! I promise I will be obedient and will never cause you any trouble."
Her coquettish manner was exactly the same as when she was unmarried, lively and cute, brimming with youthful energy in every gesture, making her irresistible.
After saying that, she didn't wait for Ning Yu's response, then let go of his hand and ran out happily like a gust of wind.
Her steps were light and agile, each step like a blissful dance.
That light and graceful figure seemed to carry endless vitality, as if the whole world was at her feet, allowing her to roam freely.
Ning Yu gazed in the direction she had left, his eyes filled with a complex expression, a mixture of helplessness and relief.
He stood there quietly, his thoughts drifting back to the past.
He thought to himself that his younger sister should be carefree, lively and cheerful. Her previous experiences had made her cautious in her words and actions, and her every move was restrained.
He hadn't seen his sister so alive and well for far too long.
Seeing her regain her former happiness and her eyes shine again fills him with joy.
Even if the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, he is willing to shelter her from the wind and rain, protect her, and let her do whatever she wants.
In the vast bay, the ships setting out on their expedition stood in neat rows like steel behemoths, ready for battle.
The hull was polished to a shine, reflecting the shimmering waves. The white sails were billowing high, and the ropes were taut, as if awaiting a grand sea carnival.
On both sides of the ship, the sharp, dark muzzles of the cannons pointed straight ahead, as if ready to roar at any moment, demonstrating the formidable strength of this navy.
The army that set out on this expedition consisted of elite naval forces carefully selected by Qin Qianluo and Mu Yunxi.
These soldiers underwent countless days and nights of arduous training.
From dawn to dusk, they rowed under the scorching sun, and with each swing of their arms, sweat poured down like rain.
Climbing the mast in the raging wind and rain, they never flinched even when the wind and rain blurred their vision.
Their skin was tanned dark by the sun, their muscles were bulging from long-term training, and their eyes were full of tenacity and courage.
Now, as they boarded the ship, they not only felt no discomfort, but their eyes sparkled with novelty and eagerness, radiating a vibrant energy that seemed to pierce the sky.
Qin Qianluo and Mu Yunxi stepped onto the first warship side by side, their figures upright, their clothes fluttering in the sea breeze.
Qin Qianluo was dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit embroidered with silver threads that shimmered with a cold light as she moved.
A sharp longsword hung at her waist, its scabbard gleaming in the sunlight, further accentuating her heroic bearing.
Mu Yunxi wore a moon-white battle robe with blue wave patterns embroidered on the hem, and her long hair was tied up high.
A few stray hairs were blown by the wind onto her cheeks, and her eyes were firm and sharp, as if she could see through enemies a thousand miles away.
Their gazes, like sharp arrows, shot straight toward the direction of the Japanese island, their eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit, as if they wanted to burn that sinful land to ashes in an instant.
A long, stirring cry suddenly rang out, the sound like a battle horn, piercing the sky.
The ship slowly started moving, its bow cutting through the sea and stirring up layers of white waves, the salty smell of the sea quickly spreading.
Qin Qianluo stood at the bow of the boat, the sea breeze tossing her hair and making her clothes cling tightly to her body.
She gazed at the boundless, surging sea before her, her emotions churning like the waves.
Images of my predecessors being bullied by the Japanese in my past life kept flashing through my mind: the tragic experiences of those innocent people and the indomitable resistance of my predecessors.
Every scene was like a sharp blade, piercing her heart. Her eyes welled up without her realizing it, and tears streamed down her face.
At this moment, Feng Qingyun was sitting peacefully in the space, and through the light screen, she could clearly see the scene of Qin Qianluo shedding tears.
Her sweet, soft voice, full of soothing meaning, gently resonated in Qin Qianluo's heart: "Luo Bao, we'll be able to flatten that island soon."
The descendants of Tianxuan will never again suffer the bullying of those dwarves.
A thousand years from now, Tianxuan will never again have a century of humiliation.
And you will soon avenge our predecessors with your own hands; their spirits in heaven will surely be proud of you.
