Chapter 123 I Don’t Want to Endure It Anymore
The sky above the imperial capital, which was not shrouded by dark clouds and haze, was a cloudless blue sky.
The top floor of the palace tower is a long staircase and a huge terrace.
Qianzhi had come here once when the disaster struck, and from here he could overlook most of the central area of the Imperial Star.
But when I came up that time, the terrace was scattered with withered leaves, surrounding the guide's spiritual radiation device, it was desolate and bleak. Looking from below, there were only patrol machines and warning sirens, but no human figures.
When Theo saw her standing on the terrace, he hurriedly carried her back, worried that she would be discovered by the shadow lurking in the darkness.
Now, the long steps leading to the terrace are cleared of the bleak and despairing dead leaves, replaced by a thick, fuzzy red carpet, dotted with bits of gold that resemble rays of hope.
Theo in front of her turned his head towards her, letting the bright light fall on his handsome face, sparkling in her eyes like the most precious gem.
"Qianqian, hold my hand." His smile was dazzling and brilliant.
Qianzhi grabbed his hand, and the man grabbed her arm, held her waist, and lightly carried her to the terrace.
The moment the petite girl appeared on the terrace, deafening cheers erupted from below.
Colorful and grand fireworks bloomed in the air, and countless beautiful ribbons and golden starlight points were flying in the sky like snowflakes.
Magnificent and prosperous, just like the empire's renewed vitality.
It was also like the faces of the people looking at her below, full of hope and joy.
Those surging and passionate emotions surged like a tide, making the shy girl unable to withstand it and took a step back.
"We've finally got our savior!"
"Guide Qianzhi is the patron saint of the people of our empire!"
"Guide Qian, thank you for your protection! Thank you for never giving up on us!"
These pure and burning sounds came along with the gentle wind, making Qianzhi dazed for a moment.
She never thought about so-called gratitude and rewards. Just like in the end times, no matter how much she did, she would be suspected and betrayed.
So she never had any expectations.
But now, when all she had done with all her might was seen, recognized, and surrounded by warm gratitude.
It was like a heart that had been immersed in ice for countless years, and was touched by a stream of warm water, which burned her so much that she was at a loss, and she also felt an inexplicable sourness and complex joy.
Even my eye sockets felt sore and hot.
"Qianqian." A big hand covered the girl's face.
Ian half-knelt and carefully wiped the corners of Qianzhi's slightly moist eyes.
"The wind outside is a bit strong," he said considerately without mentioning anything else. "If Qianqian feels cold, you can go back to your room. Your Highness and I are here."
His gentle little dodder felt so satisfied even with the slightest response, so satisfied that it made his heart ache to the point of almost breaking.
He had originally thought that if there was any discordant voice, he would forcibly stop this small meeting ceremony.
Fortunately, this time, everything Qianqian did was finally understood and appreciated.
Another wave of screams came from the crowd.
It's just a little different from the usual ones.
"Qianqian baby, look over here! Ahh ...
"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwu, my dear Qianqian, save my life!!"
The girl who shouted "Save my life" had a voice so penetrating that Qianzhi looked in her direction.
She saw a huge crowd holding large flags and colorful banners with her face on them.
Chie:?
Oh no, her social anxiety disorder is about to strike.
"It's from Qianqian Baby's fan club." Theo leaned over and whispered in her ear, especially emphasizing the word "baby". His voice was low and sticky, and it crawled into her ear canal with a numb feeling.
He chuckled softly from a very close distance, his lips curled slightly. Before she noticed, he kissed her earlobe and grazed it with his fangs. "It's officially certified. I'm a core member of Qianqian's fan club."
His broad chest pressed against her back, and his long fingers squeezed her hand, motioning for her to wave to the crowd.
At the same time, he lowered his head and whispered to her intimately.
"You're so scheming, my prince," the girl who had yelled "Save my life!" stared at the blond man on the terrace with ulterior motives. "You sent a message to the fan group saying Qianqian would come to the terrace, and then you deliberately showed off your unusual close relationship with Qianqian."
"I guess this afternoon's Imperial Star unofficial news will be all about the scandal between him and Qianqian. Maybe there's even news about their child."
"Look at how worthless His Highness Soltz is," another fan club member tutted. "He's practically clinging to Qianqian. His previous image of being a dignified and reserved guide is long gone. Now he's practically kneeling down to lick Qianqian's knees."
“Maybe he’s already licked it.”
"Ah, Marshal Ian is using his strength." The girl next to her retorted to her, then exclaimed, "Oh my God!"
The girls in the support group turned their attention back to the terrace.
I saw the stern and cold marshal leaning down and kissing Qianzhi's cheek, and finally sliding to the corner of her lips.
He deliberately stayed on Qianzhi's lips for a long time, enough for the paparazzi's cameras to take a good picture.
"Ian..." Theo's expression darkened for a moment, and he quickly picked up Qianzhi.
He quickly waved to the crowd who were obviously getting agitated, and carried Qianzhi back from the terrace.
The palace staff responded with great resilience and began to deal with the aftermath.
"-Are you crazy, Ian Gwen?" Theo tugged at the tie around his neck, then turned around and put Qianzhi on the soft sofa, worried that his harsh tone would scare her.
"Even though this is an unofficial small meeting ceremony, as the Imperial Marshal, you should maintain proper demeanor!"
"Demeanor?" Ian said slowly, "Your Highness, you were the first to break the unspoken rules between us."
He knew that Qianzhi already had feelings for him beyond her relationship with Xiang Shao, so he deliberately got so close to Qianzhi that he almost stuck to her.
He also deliberately bit her earlobe and observed her seductive expression when she was slightly aroused.
Theo was about to retort, but his brows furrowed and his breath suddenly caught.
A large amount of pheromone smell rushed out from Ian's body like a flood, instantly filling the entire room.
"What's wrong with your pheromones--" The overly strong smell of pheromones aroused the instinct of repulsion among the sentinels. Theo's lion ears stood up instantly, and the lion spirit body emerged, protectively surrounding Qianzhi.
"Pheromones?" The man opposite Theo had skin as pale as snow and lips as bright red as a gorgeous red.
Ian covered his face with his hands, revealing his blue eyes, which were deep, hungry, and dangerous.
"You're not the only one suffering from pheromone hunger, Theo Saltz."
"I've been patient for too long. This time, I don't want to endure it anymore."
Next chapter, let Ian come to the table.
