Chapter 102 Before Departure: "The gluttonous child should remember this lesson, next..."
“Igor… I was planning to send out invitations.”
Jing Yuan looked at the proposal submitted by He Yuan and sighed silently, "I also thought about going, but after becoming a general, even the slightest movement will arouse suspicion, so I can only postpone this matter."
"Xiao Yuan, thank you. In saving a planet, you also eliminated my regrets."
He looked at He Yuan, his eyes filled with a golden light that seemed to be about to burst open, stickily enveloping He Yuan.
He Yuan sat on the chair on the other side of the table, looking at him. "So I also want to thank the General for giving me the green light all the way, which made this plan pass so quickly!"
He's always like that.
They always say things that are pleasing and irresistible.
Hearing him say these things always makes people want to give him more.
"Because this is Xiaoyuan's idea, and also... a wish that I have never been able to fulfill."
Since they were in the office, Jingyuan couldn't make any overly intimate gestures. He could only hold Heyuan's hand, and express all his remaining feelings to Heyuan through his eyes.
The crane kite has been received.
His eyes held the same weight as Jing Yuan's. He grasped Jing Yuan's hand in return, but without any restraint, he reached out and rubbed Jing Yuan's ankle.
"Is it because of me, or because of something else?" He Yuan asked mischievously.
He knew Jing Yuan wasn't the kind of person who would do anything for love, so he deliberately made things difficult for him.
It's like teasing a cat, asking the cat if you are its favorite human.
Jing Yuan chuckled, his fingers unintentionally slipping between his fingers, securing the crane kite in front of him.
“Because Xiao Yuan’s decisions are never wrong,” he paused, but still revealed some of He Yuan’s innermost thoughts that she had never heard before, “During the Yin Yue Rebellion, you asked me to monitor the Dragon Master in advance and leave evidence of his crimes. You also asked me to seek cooperation with the Ten Kings’ Division and prevented Master from seeing… the evil dragon made from Bai Heng’s flesh and blood, and prevented the Demon Yin Body from being created prematurely…”
He said a lot.
The chaos of drinking the moon still occurred along this line, but Jingliu did not fall into the demonic body that time. Jingyuan did not have to deal with Chiming's mess while worrying about his master, which made things much easier than before.
Even though Jing Yuan had never experienced his original fate, the fact that he encountered such a huge mess as a new official was enough to keep him up at night for a long time.
When he guessed He Yuan's hidden abilities, Jing Yuan did not expose him and increase He Yuan's burden, but chose to believe him.
He couldn't imagine what Xiao Yuan's feelings were when she viewed her two friends' mistakes, especially since both of them were people she liked.
Since He Yuan didn't speak, Jing Yuan didn't ask.
"...But I couldn't stop them." When He Yuan thought of this, only a faint sadness and resentment remained in her heart.
His letting go of this obsession doesn't mean they no longer exist.
Jing Yuan took out hand cream from the drawer, applied it to He Yuan, and rubbed it in, saying casually, "Whether you stop me or not is no longer important to me."
"The important thing is, Xiao Yuan, you saved many people."
It's unimaginable what kind of tragedy would have occurred if the Rebellion of Drinking Moon had happened in Luofu without any preparation.
On that day, only some of the Cloud Cavalry sent by Jing Yuan were injured. Most of the firepower was concentrated on He Yuan, leaving the young man covered in wounds and almost blood as he entered the Pill Cauldron Division.
Before he had fully recovered, he was taken away by the Ten Kings for investigation. When he came out, he was in a daze and was completely different from before.
To call it hatred is too strong, so let's just treat it as fleeting clouds, and have nothing to do with each other from now on.
Jing Yuan lowered his eyes and applied the soft white ointment to every spot. "Perhaps they were complete strangers to you, but your decision changed the course of their fate."
So, there's no need to think about those two people who can't be changed.
Crane Kite's life has only spanned a few decades, and there is still a long future ahead.
He Yuan withdrew her fragrant hand. "Do you like this scent?"
Jing Yuan smeared the remaining ointment on his hands and nodded, saying, "It smells pretty good."
He Yuan took the hand cream from the table and examined it closely.
After reading it, he touched Jingyuan's face with his sticky hands. "Then I'll use this scented shower gel tonight. Remember to make time for it!"
He Yuan winked at him, "I have to pay my taxes when I go on a business trip, is that alright?"
Jing Yuan chuckled, "Of course, no problem, I will definitely pay the full amount."
Looking at the young man's bright, darting eyes, he inexplicably thought of the Persian cat outside, so he sent someone to bring the cat over.
The Persian cat Xiaomi also has a pair of bright eyes, which she makes when she wants something.
They're so adorable.
Moreover, Jingyuan felt that Heyuan was much better than before.
He used to make excuses as soon as he heard about this, but now they're teasing him and trying to get him to pay his dues...
They even learned this word.
Jing Yuan was almost overwhelmed.
This is exactly the effect that Crane and Kite wanted.
Since I'll probably be away from home for about a month anyway, I might as well do more.
His current limit has increased from four times to eight times, thanks to two certain dragon ancestors.
After experiencing them, He Yuan felt that four times a night was nothing special.
However, Jingyuan and he still have to go to work, so at most they can only do it five times, based on two hours per session.
Unless the next day is a weekend, or I go to bed early on the same day, I won't come so many times.
Even if there were, Jingyuan wouldn't go too far.
He seemed worried about his health, but He Yuan really wanted to say that he was completely fine!
Crane and Kite were seriously injured in both the Sudden Chaos and the Moon-Drinking Chaos, but they recovered and were fine.
...Well, Jingyuan is so caring towards me. He Yuan says she's fine and thinks he's being nosy, but she's secretly pleased.
After all, General Shence's restrained demeanor was quite handsome, making his heart pound.
However, you can't keep it all inside, or you'll get sick.
He Yuan's thinking was simple: since it was possible, she would find a way to break through the blockade, and then it would happen naturally in the future.
“I will hand it in properly,” Jing Yuan said, opening the plan and pointing to the itinerary of Yalilo No. 6. “But Xiao Yuan, your itinerary is too tight and needs to be changed.”
He Yuan asked curiously, "I'll be gone for several months. Won't you miss me and want me to come back soon?"
Jingyuan is a very affectionate cat, just like the big white cat.
When He Yuan was working, the big white cat would often finish eating other people's dried fish and then come to scratch at He Yuan's door. It would only stay obediently if it nestled on the young man's lap, and it would stay with him for the whole afternoon.
Now, due to a lack of exercise, I'm controlling my diet to lose weight, lest I turn into a big white steamed bun.
The big white cat intensified its pursuit of He Yuan, seemingly determined to pester the young man even if he wasn't allowed to eat.
Jingyuan scratched the chin of the Persian cat in his arms, listening to it meow comfortably.
“Of course I miss you, Xiaoyuan. But I wish you weren’t so tired,” he said. “This isn’t urgent, you don’t have to exhaust yourself like this.”
General Shence lowered his head and said softly, "I would worry about that."
Even knowing that He Yuan's recovery ability was extraordinary, Jing Yuan was still unwilling to let He Yuan work so hard for the sake of his own desires.
He was the kind of person who often suppressed his desires and only thought that he wouldn't do things if He Yuan didn't want to. How could he possibly ask He Yuan to arrange such a schedule just because of his own longing?
Even though he loved, even though his longing was so overwhelming that it was almost impossible to suppress.
But if it's for his own selfish reasons that He Yuan has to suffer, then Jing Yuan is unwilling.
They have plenty of time.
Even without marriage, they remain good friends, and Jingyuan will always be the person who accompanies Heyuan the longest—that will never change.
—This is He Yuan's promise, and Jing Yuan has always chosen to believe it.
Seeing his dejected expression, which was exactly like the big white cat's when it learned that its food had been reduced, He Yuan's heart almost melted.
How can someone in this world be so good-looking, both cute and majestic like a lion!
It's his Jingyuan.
"Then, then you arrange it," He Yuan's voice was as sweet as honey, "Arrange it in a way that you won't worry, okay?"
"And... what do you want to watch tonight?"
Jing Yuan suddenly looked up, his eyes shining brightly, "Anything is fine?"
He can order food again!
He Yuan bit her lip, closed her eyes, and nodded.
Actually, he had played many tricks with Yingxing, so in theory, he should be more at ease in front of Jingyuan.
But perhaps it's a matter of understanding time.
He Yuan often thinks of Jing Yuan's appearance from the past. Whenever he rides on her body, she always feels... that she is committing a crime, or she is in a daze.
After all, when Jingyuan was a child, he was the one who was protected by him, the "boss".
Now she's actually talking back to him...
It's truly amazing.
It was rare for He Yuan to let Jing Yuan order, and after thinking for a long time, Jing Yuan said, "Is it alright, Prince?"
He remembered the prince that He Yuan had played before.
Back then, I was still in junior high school and already had my own aesthetic sense. But when He Yuan made her first appearance, Jing Yuan couldn't take her eyes off her and almost turned the proud princess into a character who fell in love with the prince at first sight during the rehearsal.
That might have been his first experience of romantic love.
However, at that time, he was a "princess" who could not escape the rules.
Now, he is a "general" who can ask a prince for his hand in marriage.
"...After thinking about it for so long, this is the one you want?"
He Yuan asked doubtfully, "Are you sure this is it?"
He didn't quite understand why Jing Yuan had spent so much time thinking about this.
But it's not bad that he doesn't have to wear those overly embarrassing clothes.
When Jing Yuan held her down that night, He Yuan thought she was no better off than those bunny girls in maid outfits.
This guy is addicted to role-playing. He actually knelt down on one knee before the game started, saying that he was a general from such-and-such place and had come to ask for the prince's hand in marriage.
"If you do not marry me, Your Highness, I will accept your kingdom."
Who would believe you wouldn't beat her after you married her?!
Marrying him wouldn't cost you a single soldier, and you'd even get a partner!
They've got all the good things in the world.
He Yuan was not about to let him have his way, and immediately "sternly refused," saying that Jing Yuan was a wolf in sheep's clothing and that she would never agree.
The next second, Jing Yuan's expression changed. He darkly tore open his belt, as if he wanted to force himself on him.
He Yuan had never seen him with such an expression before, and was immediately frightened and stood frozen in place. It was only after Jing Yuan coaxed and soothed him that the young man shrank into his arms like a puddle of water.
"If you want to marry me, what about the betrothal gifts?" He Yuan had been stripped naked and kissed so passionately that she had been lost in a daze for a long time before she remembered this question.
At this moment, the seal symbolizing his "prince" status was still hanging on his chest, swaying with Jing Yuan's movements.
Jing Yuan chuckled softly, "The betrothal gifts... are naturally mine."
"I only want the prince to be my king, and I will be your vanguard, conquering new territories for you."
He was indeed "expanding territory," but not on land, but on cranes and kites.
The general from the neighboring country had done his homework, knowing exactly which sensitive areas Crane Kite possessed. He systematically targeted and attacked those areas, ravaging the land until it was docile and submissive, submitting to his fingertips.
He Yuan could only sob, and could only answer intermittently, "Then, then you are committing insubordination! You have ulterior motives!"
Jing Yuan laughed heartily, "Yes, I do have ulterior motives. Is this the first time Your Highness has found out?"
"When I was your servant, I disobeyed you many times!"
As he spoke, he successfully occupied the territory and firmly established himself there.
He Yuan screamed silently, his chin smeared with the sticky fluid he had spurted out, looking alluring and seductive.
No matter what, this is always the result every time someone tries to take over.
Her face was a mess from being played with by fingers and lips. Even before Jing Yuan came in, He Yuan had already lost most of her stock.
If you were to ask him to pay taxes, he would owe a huge sum every day, a debt he could never repay in his lifetime.
Jingyuan's smile didn't fade at all tonight.
He accomplished his long-held ambition, successfully obtaining the "prince" and bringing him into his territory.
He had never told He Yuan when his heart first fluttered, and he himself was somewhat unsure.
But Jingyuan still remembers the day he met the "prince", the day he received the armor and tried it on with Heyuan, and their first night together.
Even if it was just a simple act of fiddling with fingers that night, the scenery presented by Crane and Kite was still captivating enough.
How could I not be happy when my wish has come true?
Jingyuan ate four times with satisfaction, then took Heyuan to wash and groom himself.
The bathtub was a specially purchased two-person model, large enough for them to bathe together.
As she sat down, He Yuan wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Is this all the general from the neighboring country is capable of? That's all for one night?"
Jing Yuan's head twitched. "Tomorrow..."
He Yuan answered first, "Tomorrow is a rest day. I didn't expect the general's memory to be so bad. It seems that getting old is no good."
Tomorrow is their day off, but they plan to go out to buy some supplies.
This was the only item on the agenda; otherwise, He Yuan wouldn't have dared to provoke Jing Yuan. It would have been good enough if she hadn't pretended to be asleep immediately.
After all, the procurement can be entrusted to others.
Theoretically speaking, Jingyuan has more than a day left.
But the reason He Yuan dared to provoke him was because she was certain that Jing Yuan wouldn't go that far.
This is a very dedicated couple, only acting outrageously during their honeymoon. How could they possibly spend a whole day and night like this?
Even if someone said that to He Yuan, He Yuan would say that the other person was slandering them, as if they couldn't stand seeing their relationship being good.
Of course, if Jingyuan did that, Heyuan would still be willing to spoil him occasionally.
Who told him to speak to his heart?
Based on this alone, it's hard for He Yuan not to be biased.
He favored Jingyuan, letting him do whatever he wanted, and even played role-playing games with him.
"I wonder how old you are, General? You're already so weak?" He Yuan chuckled and pinched Jing Yuan's arm. "Then why did you talk about expanding our territory? You might as well go and raise my horses."
Jing Yuan's face was gloomy, his fingers sinking into the cloud-like muscles and bones. "I'm old? Xiao Yuan, you'd better be prepared. If you keep talking, no matter what you say, I won't stop."
Crane Kite was completely oblivious, thinking he was feigning a threat. "You? How useful can you be? You weren't even as capable as when you were my servant!"
"Besides, you didn't satisfy me much when you were my servant, so don't even mention it now!"
He was incredibly stubborn.
Wasn't he the one who was beaten so badly by Jing Yuan that he screamed and cried and told everything?
Jing Yuan clicked his tongue, pressed his chest against the edge of the bathtub, and gently brushed aside his long hair.
“Your Highness, I’ll show you just how ‘useful’ I really am.”
He concluded by saying, "Hold on tight, this useless general won't be helping you."
The water in the bathtub overflowed with each splash, until only a little water remained, barely covering the area just above the knees when kneeling.
He Yuan lay helplessly on the edge, her cheek pressed against the cold bathtub, her eyes rolled back, her tongue pitifully lolling out of her mouth, and every part of her body was flushed.
As he wished, Jing Yuan proved himself to be very "useful".
I can't tell the time anymore when I use the crane and kite. I only remember the excessively bright lights in the bathroom and my knees that were about to ache from being rubbed raw.
Fortunately, after the two times in the bathtub, Jingyuan dried him off with a cloth and they went back to the room.
But not in bed.
Carpets, sofas, windowsills... marks were left almost everywhere.
Every time Jingyuan changed partners, he would ask him, "Your Highness, have I satisfied you?"
"..."
There were no coherent answers, only intermittent gasps and sobs amidst the constant movements.
"Looks like it's not enough yet... His Highness won't say a word. It seems like it's not enough."
...That's enough, really enough.
He Yuan tried to stop Jing Yuan, but could only weakly tug at his shoulder, leaving not even a scratch.
The relentless impact prevented him from mustering the strength to kick away the battle-hardened general who was still expanding his territory.
All he could do was stick out his tongue and pant like a puppy, before being snatched into the mouth of the lion that had been watching him, and swelled up countless times.
And then...?
Later, I ate so much that I always had to hold my stomach when I turned my back.
But what's the point of supporting him?
The unpredictable attacks almost gave him the illusion that he was about to burst or vomit from being so full.
Her tears had dried up, leaving only a thin, clear liquid. Her whole body felt as if she had been pulled out of the water, and she could only helplessly cling to Jingyuan as her support.
"...That's enough..."
He spoke breathlessly, but Jingyuan misinterpreted his words.
"It's not enough..."
With a large palm pressing on his round belly, he said, "Your Highness is truly greedy. Let me help you release some."
"Oh, by the way, Your Highness, haven't you needed to pee yet? You can't hold it in."
No—no, he's urinated many times already, he couldn't possibly be mistaken about that smell.
Jingyuan has teased him several times already.
And—and also, he can't urinate anymore, he can't do it.
He Yuan's stammering attempts to "argue" did nothing to change the situation, and in the end, she was carried into the toilet.
Jingyuan helped him slowly and deliberately, occasionally pressing his lower abdomen with the hand supporting his legs.
"The greedy child must remember this lesson and not do it again next time."
Crane Kite nodded desperately, clearly distressed.
He never dared to do it again.
In the future, four times would be better.
Seriously, four times is really good.
"Remembered?" Jing Yuan bit his earlobe. "I feel that Your Highness hasn't remembered. Why don't we do it a few more times in the future? I will prove my usefulness."
It's already quite useful.
Crane and Kite lay boneless in Jing Yuan's arms, and with a soft pop, large streams of water gushed out like a waterfall, as if a flood had been released.
Jingyuan is right about one thing.
He Yuan really needed to urinate.
Just after the gluttonous creature appeared.
Besides, Jingyuan is really useful...
He Yuan felt like she had been scammed again.
He noticed that Jingyuan would always hold him while showering after they finished four times, and there was no sense of anything inappropriate in his hands, only his expression would be rather tense.
He thought Jingyuan was used to it, but not completely used to it, and planned to give him a good meal before setting off.
Who would have thought...
Who would have thought that Jing Yuan hadn't even had a full meal, while He Yuan was now speechless.
As He Yuan lay down on the soft bed, she felt as if she had returned to another world.
He picked up the jade tablet from beside his pillow to check the time.
It was early morning.
Early morning?!
He blinked and realized the time was correct.
That……
Crane Kite had a terrifying thought in her mind.
Has it really been a whole day and night?
He immediately turned to Jing Yuan for confirmation, only to receive a smile from the disguised white cat.
"Leave the rest to me, you get some rest."
No, that can't be done.
Only Jing Yuan went out on business; he didn't leave the house. Anyone with eyes could tell what they were up to.
Of course it's him.
How can He Yuan go to work then!
During his honeymoon, Jingyuan stayed home with him, so no one would make any definitive guesses.
But—but they are usually inseparable, and they do everything together whenever they can.
If only one party involved went out today...
He Yuan tried to scratch her head, but she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.
Her voice was completely hoarse, and she could only watch helplessly as Jing Yuan left, leaving her behind.
He wants a divorce!
The next second after that shout, Jing Yuan came in carrying a bowl of porridge.
Seeing He Yuan's grief-stricken expression, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Xiao Yuan?"
"Eat something first, otherwise you won't be able to sleep because you're hungry."
Crane and Kite:
He's already been fed a lot, and now he feels nauseous at the sight of anything white.
Of course, Jingyuan didn't put any of these in his mouth; it was just that he had too much food in his stomach and felt nauseous from the taste.
He Yuan closed her eyes in disgust.
Jingyuan put down the bowl and chopsticks, took out a small jar of brown sugar, and the white porridge turned into brown sugar porridge.
Now the crane and kite were willing to eat.
He ate in small bites all night, yawned slightly, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
Jingyuan tenderly covered him with a blanket and apologized softly, "It's all my fault."
I simply couldn't control myself.
He Yuan wasn't an unreasonable person; he knew he would bear the main responsibility for the consequences. Jing Yuan, at most, had simply been holding back for a while, so...
He shook his head, tried to rub his head against Jing Yuan's hair, and blinked at the same time.
"I forgive you, but don't do it again."
Jing Yuan hugged him contentedly and fell asleep.
