"General Yuanli, it's been a long time."
"Your Highness, I wish you good health. Hello, Miss Qilin."
Wang Ji only just realized that this little goddess was actually quite shrewd. Ever since the incident in Tianhe City was exposed yesterday, he knew that he and Lao Du would definitely have to bring up the matter.
In addition, he had only recently revealed that he wanted to finalize the marriage with her if he had time. Although the girl was in a bad mood yesterday, she actually started to secretly plan this matter.
They must have heard that he went to Ducao's office and then came looking for him.
As for the golden spherical wing-shaped time-space shuttle in front of them, and the ancient-looking Tiger Fiend Guardian Yuan Li, it was clear that they had been prepared in advance.
It seems he didn't sleep well last night, and Lena didn't get much sleep either.
In the boundless expanse of space, Wang Ji greeted Yuan Li, still feeling a little sentimental.
This was, in fact, his first time in space.
Qi Lin, standing to the side, also looked on in awe. He was dressed in dark alloy armor, wearing a black helmet with a mask, and holding Wang Ji's hand tightly, looking visibly nervous.
"Hahahaha! Little Qilin, call me sister, call me sister now!" Lena suddenly laughed arrogantly at her, "If you don't call me sister, I'll take off your mask!"
She was just wearing a black trench coat and she stood in space, moving freely. But Qi Lin was different; she was wearing a helmet with a mask on it, which Lena knew was for providing oxygen.
Wang Ji, however, did not need to. He simply stood in space without wearing any dark alloy armor.
"Tch..." Qi Lin originally had a natural fear of the dark space, but after Lena's antics, she curled her lips in disdain: "If you weren't in a good mood today, I would have said something to annoy you."
"Hehehe..." Lena stuck out her tongue and retorted, "This is still your home turf. When it's my home turf, let's see who annoys whom?"
"No wonder Rose didn't come," Qi Lin sneered.
“Well…” Lena hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s because General Du wouldn’t release her, it’s not like I did anything to her.”
"Alright, stop fooling around, let's go," Wang Ji said after watching the two of them bicker for a while.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Upon hearing this, Lena immediately pulled Wang Ji and Qi Lin into the shuttle, with Yuan Li following closely behind.
...
How big is the universe? Billions of light-years.
However, crossing the Great Insect Bridge of the Divine River Civilization and traversing time and space is like taking a high-speed train.
Inside the shuttle, Qi Lin and Wang Ji had just been admiring the bizarre and dazzling streaks of starlight and lightning within the Great Insect Bridge when they arrived at their destination.
Passing through a wormhole, they were suddenly in another starry sky. Qi Lin was quite disoriented, Wang Ji was a little better off, while Lena excitedly pulled the two of them and shouted, "Look, look! This is the Southern Heavenly Gate of the Blazing Sun!"
"Are we... going to infiltrate?" Qi Lin asked with a strange expression upon hearing the term.
Wang Ji couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hey! What are you thinking? This is our home, and it will be your home in the future, not the South Gate of Heaven where Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in your Earth mythology!" Lena immediately emphasized.
“That’s not my home,” Qi Lin pouted. “My home is on Earth. This is just Wang Ji’s in-laws’ home.”
Upon hearing this, Lena didn't laugh; instead, she glanced cautiously at Wang Ji.
Lian Yuanli's expression also changed slightly, but unlike Lena's cautiousness, his gaze was more subtle and not easily noticed.
“Don’t look at me,” Wang laughed. “You can say whatever you want. Qi Lin will stay wherever I live. It doesn’t matter. She’s just not happy if she doesn’t tease you every day.”
Lena finally relaxed and nudged Qilin again: "You...you shouldn't talk nonsense~ If you ruin someone else's business, I'll haunt you for the rest of my life!"
The two started laughing and joking again. Wang Ji watched, while Yuan Li couldn't help but frown.
"Huh? Wait a minute... I mean..." Lena suddenly stopped and looked out the window into the distance: "Where's the ceremonial guard outside the South Heavenly Gate? Where's the ceremonial guard I asked for?"
Her eyes widened, and she suddenly turned around to look at Yuan Li.
As if he had thought of something, a hint of coldness suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"This..." Yuan Li's face was stern, but he hesitated. "This, this humble general is not clear about. This humble general is only responsible for Your Majesty's safety. This time, I am responsible for picking up and dropping off Your Majesty and others. As for the rest, this humble general knows nothing."
Perhaps... perhaps he arrived too hastily, and General Pan Zhen still didn't have time to prepare.
"No time to prepare?" Lena's face turned grim, and she spoke through gritted teeth, "He clearly promised! He..."
"Lena," just then, Wang Ji reached out and grabbed her, asking with some curiosity, "What kind of ceremonial procession is it? Is it necessary to get so angry? If it's not there, then forget it."
He appeared curious and indifferent, but even Qi Lin's expression turned sour.
Some things don't need to be known too clearly; a few words are enough for everyone to understand the general idea.
“I ordered them to welcome you with the imperial procession, and I was supposed to be part of the double royal procession. Now, five hours have passed, and there’s still nothing…” Lena’s face was especially grim. In that instant, she finally understood all the concerns Wang Ji had once had about her!
It's so simple and clear!
In that instant, so many thoughts flooded her mind! All her joy vanished in an instant!
Wang Ji was amused. He knew nothing about this matter. He pondered it for a moment, but still smiled and took Lena's hand: "That's not right of you. I'm not the emperor of your Lieyang. Why would I use imperial regalia? Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
We Earthlings don't care about pomp and circumstance.
