"Hmm," Lin Xi groaned, a tingling sensation rising from his back, and his hands unconsciously wrapped around the girl tighter. The girl thought he was bitten and hurt, so she let go and said proudly, "See if you are still laughing at me."
Looking at the girl's bright and pretty face, with a simple and innocent look, Lin Xi had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill silently, but in his heart he was thinking about how to deal with her after they got married.
Looking at the sky outside, it was already very late. Lin Xi held Su Jinge and put her on the bed, tucking the quilt into her.
Looking at her black eyes, which seemed to be filled with stars, Lin Xi's Adam's apple rolled and his eyes became darker. He decided to marry her quickly.
"It's late, go to bed obediently. Once I've dealt with things, I'll come to your house to propose marriage right away." Lin Xi raised his hand and tidied the hair around Su Jinge's face.
His voice was low and gentle, but Su Jinge didn't know that in his eyes, his eyes were filled with tenderness and joy, as if he wanted to drown people in his eyes.
Lin Xi had no idea what Su Jinge was thinking. In the dark night, the window opened and closed without disturbing anyone.
The girl in the room was lying on the bed in a daze, her slightly swollen red lips were so obvious on her jade-like skin, adding a touch of charm to the girl. The smile in the eyes of the person on the bed was about to overflow.
After a while, the girl kicked the quilt lightly with her little feet, rolled over shyly, and then fell asleep quietly.
On the streets of Xuanyuan Kingdom
Early in the morning, the streets were full of people, looking at the city eagerly, as if they were waiting for someone.
Some people who didn’t know the situation asked: “Why are you all standing here so early in the morning?”
Passerby A glanced at the man and said, "Little brother, you have just arrived in the capital, right? General Suifeng is coming back. He defeated the Dilan Kingdom and came back to receive the emperor's reward." As he said this, he clasped his hands towards the sky and bowed.
"Oh, that's right, I want to see what this young hero looks like."
“That’s right…”
The people around also started chatting enthusiastically.
"Look, look, is the general back?"
Someone exclaimed, and everyone turned to look at the city gate. A large number of soldiers were coming towards them, and the leader was none other than General Suifeng, Lin Xi.
Everyone looked at his tall stature and handsome face. Although he had suffered a lot on the frontier, he exuded the aura of a mature man, which attracted the admiration of many unmarried girls.
"This young general is really handsome, worthy of being called a young hero."
"That's right, I thought it would be a bearded uncle, but who knew it would be a handsome young man."
People on the street were whispering and talking.
A group of people walked through the streets in a grand manner and arrived at the palace gate. Eunuch Li, the emperor's favorite, was already waiting there.
He stepped forward and said, "General Suifeng, please follow me. The Emperor is already waiting in the Council Hall."
Lin Xi made a gesture of invitation: "Please lead the way, sir."
Only Lin Xi and Li Mai entered the palace. The other soldiers had already returned home to reunite with their parents, wives and children.
The emperor looked at Lin Xi and Li Mai who were kneeling below, and said weakly, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two men bowed their heads and stood up, their heads slightly lowered, not daring to look directly at the emperor, but this did not include the system, a cheating tool.
"Host, host, it seems that this old emperor is dying. His eyes are cloudy and weak. I don't know if he can see your face clearly." The system secretly complained in Lin Xi's mind.
Although the emperor is over fifty years old, he is licentious and immoral. Although he made some achievements when he was young, he became more and more confused as he grew older. In pursuit of immortality, he has taken countless medicines, but all medicines are poisonous. Now he is terminally ill and there is no cure.
