Chapter 92 End and Beginning Jing Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, I love you..."
Danfeng didn't want to settle.
He tried every possible way to please He Yuan.
Even though he was about to lose his status as the Dragon Lord, he was very willing to humble himself—he had previously been very humble and used every means possible to do things so that He Yuan could see his true feelings.
But He Yuan didn't want to give him a chance.
Strictly speaking, He Yuan refused to give the two people who had deceived her a chance.
To be even more precise, Danfeng's impression on Heyuan was even worse than Yingxing's.
He was the mastermind behind the Yinyue Rebellion, and also an indirect person who ruined Heyuan's marriage.
He Yuan disliked him, and even hated him a little.
But it hasn't reached the point of severing all ties.
So He Yuan chose to ignore him.
For three days, He Yuan went to work and came home as usual, while Dan Feng eagerly came to pick him up every day.
Incidentally, He Yuan now works at the Shence Prefecture.
Since Jingyuan's brilliant strategies in the war, the former general's mansion has been renamed the Shence Mansion, which suits his title.
He Yuan was transferred from the Bureau of Works to this position as a guard, serving as Jing Yuan's deputy; it seems to be a promotion.
Both the Bureau of Works and the Divine Strategy Bureau belong to the Six Emperors, but in most people's eyes, serving as a general's deputy means that one will definitely become a general in the future, thus further penetrating the power hierarchy of Luofu.
And judging by her age, she's definitely a rising star!
In the past few days, Danfeng has been picking Heyuan up from get off work and has seen people giving him flirtatious glances, pretending to bump into each other, and striking poses.
fortunately.
Fortunately, after being bombarded by their good looks, He Yuan didn't give them a second glance.
Danfeng was extremely grateful that the Dragon Lord's face and body, which had been passed down through generations, matched Heyuan's aesthetic. Even when they were giving each other the cold shoulder, Heyuan honestly liked to sleep with him in her arms.
At night, he gently stroked the young man's soft hair and left a kiss on his forehead.
He Yuan seemed to sense it, frowned, and brushed Dan Feng's hand away.
Danfeng: "..."
He was unusually at a loss for what to do.
These past two days, I've tried everything, but I haven't been able to win back even a fraction of his heart.
He was to hand over management authority to Chiming tomorrow and return to the prison that night; he had no time left.
Danfeng didn't ask for anything; he only hoped to lessen his sins.
He Yuan, who had just woken up in the morning, saw through his thoughts. "Brother Danfeng, trust cannot be built overnight."
But it can be shattered in a certain event, never to be pieced back together.
He Yuan said politely, "I didn't pay any price to get you out. It was part of my original plan. You don't need to put pressure on yourself."
Moreover, Danfeng also brought him some benefits.
The previously silent Abundance Trial was activated when Danfeng and Danfeng registered their marriage, and at the same time, immortal names appeared on the branches of the trial.
The Star God has fallen, but the path He paved remains, and those who walk the path of destiny can still gain power.
It's just that it's rare now.
Crane Kite only knew that Chiming was on the path to immortality, but he didn't know how much more power they could gain.
But looking at this grayish thing... could it be that he's being sent to collect the Wisdom Dragon Lord?
There's no need for that.
He felt that Lord Yinyue best matched his aesthetic, and he had no interest in any other Dragon Lord.
He Yuan truthfully expressed her thoughts, and Dan Feng fell silent.
"...You already had plans to take a position at the Shence Prefecture, you just happened to take this opportunity to do it," Danfeng murmured. "You and Jingyuan had already made an appointment..."
He Yuan nodded, "Yes, I had already planned it, it's just been brought forward."
As for why... those who know, know; Danfeng definitely knows best.
After all, he deserves a lot of credit for the cause.
Danfeng remained silent, unable to even manage a smile.
He Yuan didn't know if he regretted it, but she knew that he and Ying Xing were both stubborn people who wouldn't turn back until they hit a wall, and not even ten oxen could pull them back.
So Crane and Kite were abandoned.
In the time that followed, Danfeng never mentioned these things again.
He dutifully entrusted all his connections to He Yuan, became the sinner against the Dragon Master, and then returned to the Prison of Darkness alone.
He refused the offer of a gift from He Yuan.
"...You have a bright future ahead of you, so it's best not to get involved with a sinner like me." Danfeng seemed to be being stubborn, or perhaps just sulking.
He Yuan didn't indulge him. "I'm just going to check on Ying Xing. It's just on my way. If you don't want to see me, I'll take a detour."
That's what they said, but when He Yuan turned around, Dan Feng was the first to step forward and pull him up.
"I was wrong……"
"Please, would you like to see me off?"
Twisted yet sincere words echoed in my ears.
The world is going to the dogs! The Dragon Lord actually did something like this in the street…!
He Yuan looked up at him, "Danfeng, are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I want you to be with me, even if it's just for a short while," Danfeng said sincerely.
A faint light flickered in the man's eyes, as if he had lost something.
He Yuan nodded, "Alright, let's go."
He had thought about how to spend these short three days with Danfeng.
But then he thought again and realized that this was not a good idea.
He Yuan didn't want to be close to someone he disliked; he wanted to bully Dan Feng!
The young man stopped at the entrance of the prison, turned to the man, and said, "Carry me."
The two simple words were incredibly cool to He Yuan, and Dan Feng almost excitedly summoned a water column on the spot.
He Yuan is now willing to have some contact with him!
These past few days, apart from sleeping, He Yuan and he have had almost no physical contact.
They were husband and wife, but their marriage was only in name; they had never even consummated their marriage.
Danfeng felt aggrieved, but this was the consequence of his own actions.
In the midst of endless thirst and stifling feeling, he let out a small breath, then turned around and began to try to inhale again.
Now that He Yuan is willing to have some contact with him, he is so happy he almost moves his hands and feet together.
It was only when the young man tapped his lower abdomen with his calf that Danfeng was pulled back from his excited fantasy.
"Don't get distracted, watch where you're going."
He Yuan brazenly opened the Jade Tablet and chatted with Jing Yuan.
[Crane Kite: I promised Igor I'd go see him once things settled down.]
[Crane Kite: When will things stabilize? He won't be dead by the time I get there, will he?]
[Jingyuan: Based on my experience fighting him, it shouldn't be.]
[Jing Yuan: Thanks to your heroic efforts this time, Luofu's losses aren't too great. I'll conservatively estimate that in ten years, I'll send a small team with you.]
[Crane Kite: Okay.]
Upon arriving at the location, He Yuan closed the Jade Sign, jumped down, patted Dan Feng on the shoulder, and said with a wicked grin, "Brother Dan Feng, in my plan, you'll have at least thirty years."
There was no plan; it was all just made up by He Yuan.
But he just felt uncomfortable and wanted to annoy Danfeng, so he made up a time.
Since he only asked for three days, let's make it thirty years.
As soon as he finished speaking, Danfeng entered the cell, and chains were fastened around his body.
He turned around abruptly, trying to ram the door, but was firmly locked in this small space, watching He Yuan go to Ying Xing's cell across the street and speak softly to him.
Why...why...
Before Danfeng could think too much, Heyuan came out from Yingxing's side and walked towards him.
"Danfeng, I was lying to you."
He Yuan reached over the railing and touched his cheek with her fingers. "You lied to me, and I lied to you. We're even."
"I'll come and deliver it to you if you want."
Danfeng was stunned for a long time until Heyuan patted his face, "Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you want to?"
"...Yes, I want to!"
The chains behind the Dragon Lord creaked as he struggled, attracting the attention of the judge.
Danfeng didn't care at all.
His eyes burned with an unreadable emotion, terrifyingly bright.
"You came to see me off, let me watch you die, let me remember your face forever, let me..."
He rambled on incoherently, and He Yuan stood there patiently listening to him finish.
"Okay, in exchange, I won't forget you either."
The young man extended his little finger and touched Danfeng's bound hand.
"Let's pinky swear."
——
When He Yuan emerged from the prison, she felt light as a feather.
Saying you don't care or don't mind... is all a lie.
But he didn't want to show that reluctance, because that would make his hatred and love seem like a joke, and make his trust and efforts seem like they were in vain.
He Yuan still had grievances.
He opened the system backend and passionately submitted a 10,000-word complaint, focusing on why the AI program couldn't be programmed with multiple endings.
Do games really have to have such grand, uplifting, and heartbreaking storylines?
If this game hadn't been marketed as a "simulation of a real second life" instead of a "romance," He Yuan could have written another 100,000 words.
He was furious!
He needed to find a place to vent his anger!
"Xiao Yuan, what's wrong?"
Jing Yuan stood in the soft sunlight, smiling gently at him.
He Yuan stared blankly for a long time before smiling, "It's nothing."
It's alright, at least there's still one last child.
It's alright, Jing Yuan from seven hundred years later is still here, and he didn't deceive him.
He Yuan took a few steps forward and suddenly hugged her.
"Jingyuan, do you want to be with me?"
This time, Jing Yuan was stunned.
He gently stroked the young man's back, soothing him tenderly, "Okay, I've wanted to be with Xiaoyuan for a long time."
“But I’m a little upset that my confession was stolen,” Jingyuan suggested. “Xiaoyuan, could you let me prepare the confession this time?”
The gentle, warm, and affectionate tone, like that of a big white cat, put He Yuan at ease.
He disregarded Jingyuan's competitive spirit and hugged him even tighter. "Okay."
"But can we have a real relationship without a name first?" He Yuan said coquettishly, "I want to sleep with you, I want to hold you while I sleep."
The throw pillow has been retired for a long time.
In recent years, He Yuan has gotten used to sleeping while holding someone, and also used to being held while sleeping. Before Ying Xing was imprisoned in the secluded prison and Dan Feng was released, He Yuan's sleep quality plummeted.
Now he thought of Jing Yuan.
If we're talking about the experience of simply sleeping, Jingyuan is the best.
His muscles are moderate and not exaggerated, and his whole body is warm and cozy, just like his name suggests, making you feel very safe when you are held in his arms.
Jing Yuan readily agreed.
He sensed He Yuan's confused emotions and deliberately asked, "So, are we going to your house or mine?"
He Yuan looked at him blankly.
Jingyuan teased him, "My two predecessors both married into the family in a grand and spectacular way. Should I follow their example in order to make you happy?"
He Yuan puffed out her cheeks at his words and whispered in defense, "Th-those were special circumstances..."
Moreover, what kind of talk is it for General Shence to marry into the family!
"Now that there are two homeowners, we should all be like that."
He Yuan thought for a moment and then asked, "Uncle and Auntie probably won't mind, right?"
Jingyuan pinched his nose. "Mind? Even if I marry into the family, they'll just applaud."
Before He Yuan could answer, Jing Yuan glanced around, took his hand, and said, "It's cold and damp here, let's go somewhere else."
He pulled He Yuan back to the Shence Mansion and sat on a soft cushion.
In the general's office, there were many desks, but Xiaowei's desk was the closest to his and had its own partition.
At this moment, Xiaowei's table was empty.
Because the guard brought his own chair and sat down next to the general.
It is nameless yet substantial, and blatantly so.
Jing Yuan didn't mind his actions, and moved slightly to the side, patting the empty seat next to him. "Want to sit here?"
Crane Kite immediately sat down.
Not only did he sit down, but he also commented, "This general's seat isn't very comfortable."
Jing Yuan tidied his hair, twirling the ends with his fingers. "If you're comfortable sitting here, where am I, the general, supposed to go?"
"Abdicate and hand over the reins to a more capable person?"
He Yuan kicked him angrily, "You know that's not what I meant!"
What's going on?!
How come Jingyuan can always come up with such reasonable yet outrageous associations, leaving him speechless!
I both dislike and like it.
Jing Yuan smiled and propped his head up. A round sparrow emerged from his hair, flapping its wings, and landed in He Yuan's palm.
Crane Kite was utterly charmed by the adorable sparrow.
He looked at Jing Yuan with shining eyes, "How come you have a peacock on your body—oh no, how come you have a peacock on your body?"
That's not right either, aren't cats the natural enemies of birds?
Why do these sparrows keep flying towards Jingyuan?
He Yuan placed the documents on the table, then ran her fingers freely through Jing Yuan's hair, letting out a comfortable sigh.
Jing Yuan rubbed his hand against his palm.
happiness.
He Yuan had never imagined that anyone's hair could be so soft and warm, and that her hands felt as if they were falling into clouds, gently enveloped.
Moreover, her hair is thick and voluminous, but not exaggerated, making it look especially good when tied in a ponytail.
Speaking of ponytails, He Yuan's gaze shifted to the headband on Jing Yuan's head.
The place remains as vibrant as ever, just like Jingyuan's enduring and passionate emotions.
He Yuan stretched out a hand, hooking her little finger around the hairband. "Do you like it? I see you wearing it every day."
Jing Yuan looked at him with a smile, "Of course I like what you gave me."
He Yuan teased him on purpose, "I'll take you to ride a roller coaster, would you like that?"
When Jingyuan and I were exploring the map together, Ruhua from the Construction Bureau scared the Shence General half to death and he even broke out in a cold sweat.
Jing Yuan didn't care: "As long as I'm with you, I'll like whatever you do, whatever you give me, whatever you say...
He doesn't particularly dislike anything, and while he's a little sensitive to roller coasters, he's not so much unable to ride them.
He would be happy to accompany He Yuan if she insisted on going.
"What kind of person do you take me for?" He Yuan looked at him resentfully. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would force you to do things you don't like?"
The young man spoke with great conviction, as if he wasn't the one who dragged Jingyuan along for training when they were kids.
He Yuan said in disbelief, "Jing Yuan, you were the one who said you wanted to be a general and start from the Cloud Cavalry. Wasn't that what you wanted to do?"
How can you blame him!
He helped Jingyuan become a disciple of the Sword Master earlier, saving him several years of detours!
Jing Yuanle was amused and looked at He Yuan's expression with a smile. "Yes, but for children, getting up early for training is painful."
"My sleep deprivation problem might be because of you."
He Yuan was astonished by his logic, "You—you're just making excuses!"
How could Jingyuan say that!
He Yuan was heartbroken. She sadly tried to catch the tuanque on Jing Yuan's body and complained to the three chirping birds.
“Your master is truly ungrateful; he has forgotten all my teachings and contributions,” he nagged incessantly. “You must not follow his example, understand?”
The magpie tilted its body, rubbed its wings against its cheek, and seemed to sprout a greeting from the top of its head.
What is this human saying that I can't understand?
However, the cookies he fed me were delicious, so I nodded to appease him.
He Yuan, emboldened by Tuan Que's affirmation, said to Jing Yuan, "Look! Tuan Que agrees with me!"
Jing Yuan sighed and said, "Yes, Lord He Yuan is incredibly insightful. He foresaw that I had the potential to be a general and pushed me every day, which is why I have achieved what I have today."
He Yuan nodded in satisfaction, "That is indeed the truth."
The fact that her childhood sweetheart has the potential to become a general is simply the greatest luck in He Yuan's life.
He had been quite unlucky before, but Jingyuan was truly "lucky".
The noisy morning passed, and the other strategists gradually arrived at work. He Yuan returned to her seat and helped Jing Yuan with some matters.
In every respect, the Shence Mansion is a pretty good institution.
My boss is tolerant. There are many things to do, but they are clearly categorized and the work rules are clear, so there won't be any major conflicts.
My colleagues all worked hard to get here; their character isn't necessarily good, but it's not that bad either.
He Yuan was living a very comfortable life.
These past few days, Jingyuan has been sleeping at his house, and his sleep quality has improved every night. In addition, the Shence Mansion canteen is good, and the logistics department even provides milk tea, so Heyuan has actually gained some weight, and his face has become rounder.
He looked at his clothes with a troubled expression and held them up against his body.
Summer is just around the corner, and many of last year's clothes have become too small this year.
He Yuan sighed. Jing Yuan carried the clothes in and, after glancing at the pile, said, "I made an appointment with the owner of Guangyunxiu to have some clothes made. Do you want to come along?"
If the clothes don't fit, just get a new pair.
He Yuan nodded listlessly, "I think I've gained a lot of weight recently."
Jing Yuan asked in an incredulous tone, "You've gained weight? I didn't notice."
He Yuan knew that Jing Yuan was a good actor, but no matter how hard he looked at Jing Yuan's expression, he couldn't see any trace of acting.
He looked at himself in the mirror with suspicion.
Why does my face not seem as round anymore, and my waist hasn't changed either?
Could it be that his intuition was wrong?
He Yuan thought for a moment and then pulled out the weighing scale.
After standing on it and seeing the numbers, he let out a small cheer.
I was wrong after all!
He didn't gain weight at all, his measurements just changed!
This must be what people in Xianzhou often call secondary development!
After all, putting everything else aside, the size of the breasts has indeed increased significantly in recent years.
Jing Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Adjusting the scale's coefficient is a delicate task, and I'm afraid He Yuan might become suspicious.
But he only did it this once.
He Yuan used to be quite thin, which made her look good on camera, but she also looked frail.
This is just right.
Anyway, Jingyuan will maintain things with Heyuan, so there's no need to worry about that.
He Yuan happily changed her clothes and went out with Jing Yuan to Guangyunxiu to have new clothes made.
The shop owner, Zijing, was laughing so hard she could barely open her eyes.
One is a divine general, and the other is a global superstar. Her shop could definitely open all over the galaxy!
He Yuan was unaware of the shop owner's inner thoughts. He thought the service was quite good and the clothes were stylish, so he decided to come back in the fall.
Today was their day off, and after buying clothes, they strolled around the area.
He Yuan, upon learning that her weight hadn't changed, felt at ease buying a cup of milk tea and drinking it from her hand.
Jing Yuan walked beside him, subtly blocking some of his view.
Jingyuan took Heyuan's hand and whispered to him, "Come with me somewhere, okay?"
He Yuan nodded and snuggled closer to him. "Sure, I don't have any plans this afternoon anyway."
Jingyuan led him to a pavilion in Changletian.
Looking out from here, you can see many caves and the towering Jianmu tree reaching into the clouds.
Changletian was filled with idle Xianzhou people, and the sounds of hawking, playing cards, and loud discussions filled the air.
Crane Kite didn't find it noisy.
On the contrary, watching the gossip about NPCs in the "Nearby Chat" is quite interesting.
He was completely oblivious to Jing Yuan's slightly nervous expression, engrossed in gossip, finishing his milk tea and the lotus root cake he had just bought.
Jing Yuan called his name softly, and He Yuan finally reacted.
"Hmm? What is it?"
The young man's bright, beautiful eyes looked at Jing Yuan.
Even the experienced Shence General was momentarily stunned, and his already tense mood tightened even more when he thought about what he was supposed to do.
Jing Yuan took a deep breath. "Xiao Yuan, I love you."
I had prepared so many things to say, but at this point, all I could say was this.
"I... Xiao Yuan, would you like to be with me and walk through a part of life's journey together?"
Jingyuan could promise forever, but he knew that birds wouldn't stay in one place; they would yearn for the vast sky.
Therefore, he would not propose forever, nor would he use forever or long-lasting emotions to bind He Yuan.
After understanding his meaning, He Yuan slowly smiled, placed the milk tea in her hand on the table, and answered earnestly:
"Okay, let's embark on a journey together and create more and better memories."
Even though Jingyuan would tease him, he liked Jingyuan!
Humorous yet witty, and also very understanding.
He likes it!
Crane and Kite express their affection through actions, such as rushing over to kiss each other.
He wrapped his arms tightly around Jingyuan's neck and mumbled, "Hold me tight..."
How can we let him shoulder this alone?
Jing Yuan swallowed the words "still outside" and pinched He Yuan's waist, leading the young man to enjoy the pleasure of the kiss.
Jing Yuanren lives up to his name, radiating the scent of the sun, even his lips.
Crane Kite had never experienced such a kiss before.
Just a kiss made him feel as if he were being favored by the sun, his whole body warm and cozy.
Moreover, the sun wasn't scorching; everything was just right.
Soft, warm, and intoxicating.
It wasn't until a cry of alarm rang out that He Yuan barely regained her senses.
He rubbed his throbbing head, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He remembered Jingyuan confessing his feelings... and he was so happy that he just pounced on him and kissed him...
It was all a normal procedure, so why did it feel strange? Why were there gasps of surprise?
Crane Kite slowly surveyed its surroundings, then let out a brief scream.
He desperately covered his mouth, stepped on Jingyuan's shoes, and after calming down a bit, immediately asked, "Why didn't you stop me!"
Jing Yuan was used to his counterattacks and said skillfully, "But Xiao Yuan didn't give me a chance to speak."
General Shence looked completely innocent, as if He Yuan was the one who was wrong.
He Yuan glared at him irritably: "Can't you just push me away?"
Jing Yuan said earnestly, "Xiao Yuan, I will never push you away."
