Chapter 95 Yingxing's Prison Break (Still Jingyuan's Route) "I really like Jingyuan..."
"General, we have tracked down the target near Building X in the Changle Tian XX residential area."
Han Ya, the judge of the Ten Kings Division, gave a meticulous report.
Jing Yuan rested his hands on the table, nodded, and said "Mm".
His expression was lazy, and he seemed completely indifferent to the matter.
Even though the person being tracked was one of the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds, a friend of General Jingyuan, and the first husband of General Jingyuan's partner.
—Ying Xing.
The crow paused, then said, "In addition, the Ten Kings' Division hopes that the general can lend out his elite guards to capture fugitives."
Jing Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked sharply at Han Ya, "Has the transfer order been issued yet?"
The crow shook its head: "Not yet."
The Cloud Cavalry and Valiant Guards are second only to the Shence General in rank within the Shence Prefecture. Obtaining a transfer order is by no means an easy task.
The message brought by the raven was very important.
Jing Yuan probably knew why she made an exception this time.
Han Ya and her sister Xue Yi both died suddenly, but were eventually brought back to life by puppets and worked together in the Ten Kings Bureau.
The only connection that can be made with cranes and kites is probably the end of their fleeting lives.
However, whether he is now dead remains in doubt.
Apart from Danfeng and Yingxing, no one opened the box.
“I understand.” Jing Yuan nodded. “Thank you for the information.”
This will give him time to prepare and also allow him to inform He Yuan of the news.
However, back when Yingxing escaped from prison, Jingyuan had hesitated about whether to tell Heyuan.
As a superior, he seemed to have no need to tell his subordinates, since it concerned matters inside the prison, and often only the general and a few core personnel knew about them. However, in Jing Yuan's heart, He Yuan was always the core, and he needed to tell He Yuan.
As a partner, Jingyuan instinctively didn't want to tell Heyuan about his past relationship. Whether it was jealousy or resentment, he didn't want Heyuan to be troubled by their affairs.
However, regardless of his identity, Jing Yuan did not want to hide anything from He Yuan.
So after receiving the news and thinking briefly, he told He Yuan about Ying Xing's prison break.
At that time, He Yuan was helping with training at the training ground. When he saw Jing Yuan arrive, the young man's originally cold face melted away like ice and snow, and spring water spread.
He walked up to Jing Yuan with a smile, his voice unconsciously becoming sweet, "Did you come to see me? Want to have dinner together?"
Jing Yuan shook the keys in his hand. "Okay, I'll take you to eat the private dishes made by General Shence."
Some things are not suitable to be said in public, but can be discussed in the Shence Mansion, in the room between the two of them.
Jingyuan prepared three dishes and a soup, and sat down with Heyuan at the stone table under the tree to eat.
After the meal, during dessert, Jing Yuan said, "Xiao Yuan, there's something I need to tell you."
He Yuan's expression showed a hint of anticipation, but it quickly faded beneath a mask of curiosity. "What is it?"
Jing Yuan took out a copy of the scroll he always carried with him. "Ying Xing... escaped from prison with his master's help."
This is a sentence brimming with information.
Jingyuan's master, Jingliu, had been deemed to have fallen into the demonic realm after the Yinyue Rebellion, which was tantamount to death, yet he helped Yingxing escape from prison at this moment.
Yingxing, on the other hand, was granted immortality by accident but was unable to maintain his full sanity and was also imprisoned in the Dark Prison.
This statement is equivalent to saying that Yingxing escaped with Jingliu's help, and Jingliu most likely escaped as well.
He Yuan should have been shocked, but his expression remained relatively calm.
This also confirmed Jingyuan's suspicions.
Seven hundred years later, He Yuan knew everything about the aftermath of the Yin Yue Rebellion, so he was not surprised by Xing Yu Jing Liu's departure.
He had calculated the timeframe and knew it would likely be within this period. Even without calculation, the profiles of his [Friends] and [Partners] would tell him.
After marrying Jingyuan, Heyuan kept wondering—would Jingyuan be keeping this a secret?
He genuinely didn't want Jing Yuan to hide it, and he wanted to tell Jing Yuan directly that he already knew about it.
But He Yuan chose to wait and see.
Anyway, it's only five years.
If Jingyuan kept it from him, he would cut his losses and leave in time.
If not...
He Yuan had thought that if Jing Yuan hadn't kept it from him, he wanted to spend those fifty years of service in the Cloud Cavalry with Jing Yuan.
That was his childhood sweetheart, whom he personally admitted to "favoring," the person who had been with him the longest and had the deepest feelings for him in the game. He Yuan was willing to break the principles she had just set for him.
Fortunately, Jingyuan did not disappoint him.
He Yuan met General Shence's sun-like eyes and suddenly started talking about something else.
"Tomorrow night is our one-year anniversary. Remember to arrange your work properly and come back early."
One year anniversary.
Jing Yuan thought sadly: Is there only four years left?
Before the marriage, He Yuan made things clear.
Jingyuan felt sorry for him being deceived repeatedly, so she agreed.
But even if he didn't... he would probably have no choice but to agree...
It's okay, they can still be friends.
Jing Yuan forced a smile, "I've also prepared something good for you."
He Yuan said with considerable pride, "You will definitely like the surprise I prepared."
And it will surprise you so much that you'll cry!
He Yuan had never seen Jing Yuan cry, but he himself had been made to cry many times by various factors.
There are absolutely no numbers.
Looking at the young man's confident face, Jing Yuan felt a surge of anticipation and hope.
Perhaps?
Perhaps he will be the special one?
Jingyuan's uncontrollable recollections—
He and Xiao Yuan grew up together and were each other's closest people. Even after Xiao Yuan got married, this never changed.
Is it possible that he...?
The pain on his face pulled Jing Yuan back to reality. The young man he had just been thinking about was now leaning close to him, his breath almost touching his nose.
Sunlight streamed in, a gentle breeze blew, and a light, alluring sweet fragrance lingered around, stirring up a myriad of thoughts.
He Yuan pinched Jing Yuan's face, looking puzzled: "What are you thinking about? You can't even hear what I'm saying."
"Tell me, are you tired of me? Don't you like me anymore?"
I'm innocent!
Jing Yuan pressed his lips to He Yuan's and whispered, "I was wondering what surprise Xiao Yuan would give me?"
He brought up something that happened a year ago, saying, "I'm really looking forward to the young lady's surprise."
He Yuan immediately let go, took a few steps back, and said anxiously, "You're not allowed to mention this again!"
That's a dark history! That's absolutely a dark history!!
How could you mention Jingyuan!
After that incident, He Yuan stopped wearing clothes with large skirts, fearing that Jing Yuan might suddenly transform into a "Balcony 2.0".
For him, no matter how shameful or intense the situation inside was, it couldn't compare to the tension and embarrassment of a simple spot check outside.
That's something no human being would do!
Jing Yuan won back a round, stood up and moved closer to him, "What are you not allowed to mention? Miss?"
He Yuan stomped on his foot and angrily pulled his ear.
"You think I wouldn't dare hit you, do you? You think I won't get angry? You—"
Jingyuan bent down and lifted him off the ground.
"I'm not saying anything more, Xiao Yuan."
"It's lunch break time, have a good rest."
He placed the crane on the warm, soft bed, covered it with a blanket, and went to handle the rest himself.
Does the crane and the kite correspond to any lingering affections in the star?
There should be.
Even if not, Jingyuan would still do it perfectly to satisfy Heyuan.
On one hand, it was for his own sake; on the other hand, it was from the bottom of his heart.
That's what it means to like something.
He is quick to respond to his needs, shares his joys, and loves what he loves.
Jingyuan was luckier; among the people and things Heyuan liked, there were none that he disliked.
After briefly handling the follow-up tasks and reviewing the documents, Jing Yuan walked through the corridor and entered the room.
He sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at the young man's sleeping face, quietly leaving a kiss, and then left alone.
Ying Xing and Jing Liu's escape from prison is no longer just a matter for Luo Fu.
Seriously speaking, this has already alarmed the higher-ups of the Immortal Boat Alliance, prompting them to send people to investigate.
If we can catch them, then everything will be fine, and all will be peaceful.
If they fail to catch him, Jing Yuan will likely bear a significant responsibility.
On his very first day as the candidate for the next general, General Teng Xiao taught him this lesson.
It's alright. Whether or not we catch him, it won't shake his position.
Thinking about it... planning a prison break at this time was probably the last bit of tenderness the master showed.
Jing Yuan smiled helplessly, activated the Yellow Bell Resonance System, and communicated with the Jade Palace Immortal Ship where the Marshal was located.
"...I am aware of the matter. Jingyuan, I will send General Huaiyan of Zhu Ming and an envoy from Yuque. You do not need to interfere in the rest."
The marshal thought for a moment and then said, "I know the reason for all this, and you don't need to worry about it."
After the resonance system was turned off, Jing Yuan heard footsteps behind him.
It is a crane kite.
He Yuan stood at the door, looking at him with curiosity.
"May I know?"
He could actually find out the information from their recent chat, but Jingyuan's performance at noon gave Heyuan a sense of confidence.
Jingyuan would tell him any secret that was not specifically stated to be known only to the general.
Sure enough, Jing Yuan gestured for him to come in and showed him the Huangzhong Resonance System that had just been switched.
Crane Kite glanced over and began refining the core essence—
The marshal sent a general and an envoy to the Luofu Immortal Ship to investigate and informed Jing Yuan that he would be fine.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even knowing that Jing Yuan will sit securely in the position of general in the future, everything that is happening on the Luofu Immortal Ship now is endangering Jing Yuan's life and status.
He Yuan was very afraid that Jing Yuan would be affected by this...
Fortunately, it wasn't General Huaiyan who was sent... It would be quite awkward for He Yuan to meet him given her current status.
He and Ying Xing broke up amicably, but...
Ugh, so annoying!
He Yuan looked at Jing Yuan and said, "Jing Yuan, I'll give you a chance to apologize."
Jingyuan: "?"
What opportunity to apologize?
He Yuan continued, "If you can help me think of a way to meet General Huaiyan without feeling awkward, I will forgive you for the mistake you made at noon."
"Pfft, hahaha..."
Jing Yuan burst out laughing, his eyes narrowing with amusement. "You just because of this?"
Seeing his attitude, He Yuan became angry and her tone hardened, "Are you going to help or not? If not, I'll find someone else!"
"There's no one I can find," Jing Yuan thought.
Of course, he could do nothing and just wait for He Yuan to come looking for him.
"I'll help!"
Jing Yuan grasped He Yuan's hand, skillfully pulling her into his arms and stroking her fur. "General Huai Yan won't mind such a thing. You can just stay by my side and leave everything to me."
"Didn't we agree that once I become a general, I'll treat you to the best of everything? If you're bothered by something like this, wouldn't that be a dereliction of duty on my part?"
He Yuan gave a muffled "Oh," and said, "You've said all the nice things, making my worries seem unnecessary, right?"
Do you think I'm funny?
He has a temper!
Jingyuan also said that we should feel free to express any emotions we have.
He Yuan wouldn't usually say that; it's just that Jing Yuan teased him too much!
Since getting married, it seems that the Yuan Mi who used to be so easy to tease has completely disappeared. Now, it's the shrewd and calculating General Shence who's teasing him.
I'm so annoyed. He absolutely has to say something.
Jing Yuan held the young man's hand and played with it. "Xiao Yuan, your worries are unnecessary. I didn't think of this at first either; it was you who reminded me."
"As for my laughter... it's because Xiao Yuan is so cute, I just couldn't help it."
cute?
Jing Yuan said confidently, "That's right. Just like Xiao Yuan used to say I was cute, I think Xiao Yuan has always been cute. Being with Xiao Yuan always makes me feel much better."
He Yuan felt a little dizzy.
He did think Yuan Mi was youthful and cute before, but that was only during the period when Jing Yuan was teased by him and didn't fight back.
Now...
It feels like the big white cat has turned into a big lion, so heavy and it especially likes to disturb people's sleep.
The shift from a vegetarian diet to a carnivorous diet is becoming unbearable for many.
He Yuan didn't break free from his embrace, but complained softly, "But you're not as cute as you used to be."
Jing Yuan lowered his head slightly and whispered, "So my surprise tomorrow is related to this, Xiao Yuan. I will make you satisfied."
He Yuan was thus unwittingly diverted from the topic and went on to prepare for tomorrow's surprise.
He prepared a fitted, bodycon dress with a shorter bodycon skirt underneath and a long, layered, wave-like hem at the back.
Having learned from last year's experience, He Yuan's skirt wasn't as wide this time, and her inner skirt wasn't as short, making it difficult to peel off, thus preventing Jing Yuan from engaging in any inappropriate behavior on the balcony.
The overall color scheme is black and red, which makes the skin appear as white as jade.
His black hair had grown quite a bit and was tied behind his head, revealing his smooth back and the back of his neck.
When He Yuan came out wearing this outfit, she was also holding a document in her hand.
He patted Jingyuan on the shoulder, covered the lower half of his face with the documents, and whispered, "You can turn around now."
Jing Yuan was immediately impressed when he saw him.
They had no wedding, yet every day and night felt like their wedding night – this was He Yuan's little way of making amends.
Perhaps he harbored some resentment as well.
Faced with the "honest" and obedient Jingyuan, Heyuan is willing to give more and indulge him more.
Seeing Jingyuan's worthless appearance, Heyuan's resentment from yesterday lessened considerably, and she chuckled softly.
"I showed you my surprise, what about yours?" The voice wasn't as harsh as during the day; it was as soft as usual.
Jing Yuan stood up, took off his outer garment, revealing a training uniform he wore when he was a guard.
When He Yuan saw this dress, he was reminded of the days when Jing Yuan played with him.
Moreover, today General Shence revealed both of her eyes, styled her hair in cat ears, and even whispered a "meow" at him.
It felt like stepping back into the past, more than a decade ago.
“This is my surprise, Xiao Yuan,” Jing Yuan said, looking at him. “Tonight, I’ll do whatever you say.”
No matter what he did, Jingyuan accepted it all.
"Really?"
He Yuan had just asked the question when she coughed lightly, "We'll talk about that later. Let's talk about... things before the wedding first."
Is it... only five years ago?
Jing Yuan felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. He wanted to say something, but at that moment, he was too tongue-tied to utter a single word.
He never expected He Yuan to bring this up tonight.
But it is also exceptionally reasonable.
After all, game companies hold anniversary celebrations to mark the passing of a year, so it's understandable that He Yuan would use a year-long anniversary to record such an event.
Jing Yuan was annoyed, but still cooperated by asking, "Is it about the five-year marriage?"
He Yuan hummed in agreement and observed Jing Yuan with great interest.
—Jingyuan must be sad.
He Yuan thought, it wouldn't be too much for him to retaliate a little against Jing Yuan's teasing yesterday, would it?
After all, he was going to sign a fifty-year contract, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider that as compensation to Jing Yuan.
—It's not just a year or two more, it's a full fifty years!
He Yuan convinced herself, "My plan was to get married for five years and then separate. After today, there will be four years left."
The words, like a notification, were slowly being dug into Jingyuan's heart.
He was unwilling to accept it.
Why five years?
Is it because Yingxing only has five years?
Does that mean no one can get past him?
Jingyuan was very dissatisfied.
He was clearly the first one to arrive.
He looked up at He Yuan's face, trying to gain more for himself.
"Can't I have more?" Jing Yuan asked with an expression of utter helplessness, wrapping his arms around the young man's waist and pressing his cheek against his lower abdomen. "Can't you give me another year?"
"Just one year, is that okay?"
If we can get another year, there will be more opportunities later.
He Yuan remained silent for a long time without answering.
The clock in the bedroom ticked away, and just when Jing Yuan thought there was no chance for him, he heard He Yuan ask him, "You only want one more year, Jing Yuan?"
Jing Yuan suddenly looked up and saw a smiling face.
He realized that Crane Kite had simply tricked him once.
But he enjoyed it immensely.
A slightly hoarse voice uttered, "...What do you mean?"
"Xiao Yuan, tell me, tell me..."
He Yuan sat on the man's lap, holding the documents in one hand and wrapping her other arm around Jing Yuan's neck.
"It means... depending on your performance, it will be renewed once a year."
He leaned back slightly, spread the document out on his chest, bit the cap of the lipstick with his lips, and stuffed it into Jingyuan's hand.
"If everything is alright, General, please sign it?"
The document was thick; Jing Yuan only glanced through it before signing his name.
It contained nothing more than agreements such as "be obedient and obey unconditionally," and at the end it said "renewal will be based on performance each year."
"If the term is renewed for five consecutive years, an additional five years will be given as a bonus, with the total term not exceeding one hundred years."
When He Yuan was writing, he thought that since fifty years could be extended, he might as well make Jing Yuan's reign last a hundred years.
Anyway, the game's current maps are just Immortal Boat and Yalilo, and a few small maps, so there's not much to play.
After a hundred years... the development team in the real world should have created a new map by now, right?
He went back to reality to take care of some things before coming back to play.
Jing Yuan signed his name with a flourish, saved the document in his bedside table, and couldn't wait to enjoy the red velvet cake in front of him.
He Yuan covered his face with her hand and pressed her lips to his. "You promised to listen to me tonight, no take-backs allowed."
"Or I'll deduct a year's salary from your payout!"
This statement was very intimidating to Jing Yuan.
The majestic lion instantly transformed into a docile white cat, allowing He Yuan to straddle its body, its eyes fixed on the soft flesh accentuated by the hem of the skirt.
He Yuan hooked her hand around the hem of her skirt, licked her lips, and said, "Want to see? If you want to see, I'll pull it up a little."
Jing Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he exhaled a soft sound, "...I want to."
He Yuan flipped up her skirt to observe his expression.
The young man raised his hand and lifted Jing Yuan's chin. "I never expected that a mere servant would become a general. How strange."
This is like making a TV series.
"I wonder if the general still remembers his promise to be my vanguard?"
Soft fingers rubbed against her chin, then slowly moved down to hook her collar.
Jing Yuan looked at him intently. "Of course."
"Young Miss, just keep ordering me around as before."
"Then I won't be polite."
He Yuan slightly raised her buttocks and fell onto the bed with Jing Yuan.
He only unbuttoned a few buttons before impatiently saying, "You do it!"
"You must listen to me and not do anything reckless, understand?"
Jing Yuan pinched his groin, suppressing his panting, and said, "I know."
Just tell He Yuan to keep quiet.
For a fleeting moment, Jingyuan had this thought.
But he quickly rejected it.
No need.
According to the treaty, they have a maximum of one hundred years.
Jingyuan knew the difference between eating a full meal once and eating a full meal every time.
He perfectly catered to He Yuan's needs, leading him to the heights of bliss. Everything was done according to He Yuan's instructions, making the young man feel as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
However, soaking in hot springs for too long can cause dizziness and a decrease in some sensory perception.
During the second half of the game, Jing Yuan gained a lot of benefits for himself. While saying "I will do whatever Miss says", he also contradicted "Miss" without any politeness and soaked the bed sheet completely.
The dress that the "young lady" had prepared for the banquet was torn to shreds, leaving only scraps of fabric piled on her body. She deliberately chose to cover up unimportant areas, and the general saw everything that shouldn't have been seen.
It's a pity the "young lady" couldn't see this scene, otherwise she would have definitely detained him for a year and punished his servants.
The young lady had instructed her servants beforehand not to stay inside, neither liquids nor solids. But her servants, taking advantage of the young lady's late rising, stayed inside all night, pressing on her pregnant-looking belly and taking advantage of her unconscious state to bully her.
Around morning, the general's servant woke up and first took the "young lady" to wash up, cleaning her inside and out. Then, the servant applied medicine to her body before putting the "young lady" into bed to cook.
*
When He Yuan woke up, she felt like her body wasn't even her own.
He groggily opened his eyes and began to recall what had happened the night before.
First, Jingyuan followed the rules as he wished, and the first half of the night was incredibly comfortable, so comfortable that he felt this was what Xingai should be like.
It's a pity that he got carried away in the middle of the night, causing his memory to become hazy and he didn't remember anything at all.
But regardless, based on Jing Yuan's performance last night, He Yuan is fully capable of renewing her contract with him for another five years.
If we were impulsive, we might have set it at fifty years.
But He Yuan restrained his impulse.
He thought he could subtly hint to Jing Yuan, let him perform better, and then He Yuan could legitimately extend his term to fifty years.
"Do you really like Jingyuan?" He Yuan asked herself.
His heart steadfastly answered, "I like it very much."
The decades in a game may only be a blink of an eye in reality, but real-life experiences don't lie.
Regardless of what happened in the past or the future, He Yuan loves Jing Yuan the most right now.
Therefore, if Jing Yuan does anything slightly excessive, as long as it doesn't cross the line, He Yuan will forgive and indulge him.
The same applies to his corresponding star.
As for Danfeng… Heyuan was really angry, so she had no intention of communicating with him at all. She could only find time to visit him and talk things out.
The Ten Kings Court was very cautious in its judgment regarding this Lord Yinyue.
Now that Yingxing has escaped from prison, their actions will likely be quicker.
Before that, He Yuan needs to clean up the dragon masters in the Wisdom Clan.
