As she followed him, she not only discovered He You, but even the war slaves came into view...
"What?"
Upon hearing this news, Dongfang Yerong, who had just returned to Menglou, was struck dumb as if by a bolt from the blue, and stood frozen on the spot.
How could He You suddenly appear within the territory of Yi Kingdom? This is truly unbelievable.
You must know that He You is now the emperor of the Southern Kingdom!
Why did he have to arrive here at this particular moment?
Could it be that... all of this was destined and inescapable?
Dongfang Yerong's thoughts drifted back to that night on Penglai Island, Chen Yuan's words still seeming to echo in her ears: "That girl is not your ideal match. Sometimes, excessive obsession is not beneficial."
When he came to his senses, a bitter smile crept onto his lips.
Yes, he never seemed to be truly committed to anything.
From a young age, he followed his father's arrangements, learning various skills and knowledge, and acting according to his father's instructions.
Later, in order to break free from this constraint, he came to the Dream Tower, only to find that life there was just as empty and boring, with him simply indulging in pleasure in a daze every day.
However, fate is always full of dramatic twists and turns.
Until one day, he met the woman dressed as a man, and her unique temperament and charm made him fall in love with her.
At that moment, he realized that he had been so indifferent all along, and the woman in front of him was like a bright light, illuminating the long-dormant desires and passions deep in his heart.
From that moment on, his world underwent a dramatic transformation.
He began to pay attention to the woman's every move, trying to understand her inner world.
Every time I meet her, an indescribable excitement and joy wells up in my heart.
Her every smile, every word, and every action was deeply imprinted in his heart, becoming the only solace in his life.
Despite knowing that this relationship might not work out, Dongfang Yerong still couldn't suppress his longing and affection for her.
Perhaps it was this persistence that allowed him to experience an unprecedented vitality and energy.
Even if the future is full of unknowns and difficulties, he is willing to bravely pursue his own happiness.
After all, life is short, and everyone should have at least one moment where they would risk everything for the one they love.
Life is unpredictable, and fate always likes to play tricks on people.
He once thought that he and Li Nannan had no connection left, and that their life trajectories were like two parallel lines that would never intersect, drifting further and further apart.
However, fate seemed to play a cruel joke on him, giving him another chance to meet her.
The moment he saved her, he felt incredibly happy and fulfilled.
He thought this was fate's arrangement, and that from then on they could be together forever, walking through the years to come.
However, reality was so cruel, it seemed to be mercilessly tearing apart his beautiful fantasy.
Dongfang Yerong slowly picked up the teacup and held it tightly in her palm, as if trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope.
His lips curled up slightly, revealing a bitter and helpless smile.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang," and the teacup shattered in his hand, with shards flying everywhere.
Blood mixed with tea flowed slowly down his fingers, dripping onto the ground and forming a dark red pool of blood.
The smell of blood filled the air.
