Chapter 125
The emperor stared at Su Ningrong, a flicker of determination in his eyes, "Don't even think about it! I will never let that bastard become the crown prince!"
Su Ningrong's expression changed. "Your Majesty, please don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!"
"Hmph! Do you think I'm afraid of you?" The emperor was determined to fight to the death. He would not compromise with Su Ningrong.
Su Ningrong gritted her teeth, "Okay, since Your Majesty is unwilling to cooperate, don't blame me for being ruthless!" She turned and left, and when she reached the door, she turned back and said, "Your Majesty, I have received good news, haha... Your third son and his group are trapped in the orc tribe, and may not be able to come back." She smiled and left.
When the emperor heard Su Ningrong's words, he felt as if struck by lightning and his body shook.
His eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "What did you say? The Third Brother and the others are trapped in the Orc Tribe? How is this possible?"
The emperor was extremely anxious. They had no enmity with the orcs, so how could the third brother and his men be trapped among the orcs? He thought that he had not received any news from the third brother and his men for many days, and he didn't know whether the matter was true or not.
Orc Border Town
After that thrilling battle, the Orcish border town slowly returned to peace. The city gates, previously sealed by protective shields, were no longer sealed, allowing people to enter and exit the city freely. For those eager to leave, this was undoubtedly good news; they finally had the chance to bid farewell to this place once rife with war and danger.
Qin Jinghuai and his group had already packed their bags and were lined up neatly, waiting to depart. Each of them wore a serious expression, their eyes gleaming with determination. They wore exquisite armor and wielded sharp weapons, appearing heroic and dashing.
Lu Sixi walked quickly to Qin Jinghuai and said softly, "Your Highness, I seem to have forgotten to tell His Royal Highness Prince Long where we were gathering yesterday." He frowned and looked at Qin Jinghuai with some worry.
Qin Jinghuai frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Outside the East City Gate." His voice was low and powerful, full of confidence. After that, he nodded to Lu Siqi, indicating that they could set off.
After receiving the instructions, Lu Sixi turned around, waved to the convoy behind him, and shouted loudly: "Let's go!" His voice was clear and loud, echoing in the streets of the border town.
As the order was given, the neatly-organized team began to slowly advance. With steady steps and coordinated movements, they walked along the streets of the border town towards the East City Gate.
Qin Jinghuai and his companions arrived at the gate of East City, where a team of elite Orc Academy members had already gathered, waiting for their arrival. This team looked disciplined and well-trained, and each member exuded a powerful aura.
At the front of the group stood a tall, handsome man. He was the leader of this operation—Lang Xiaoyi. He walked steadily towards the carriage where Qin Jinghuai was and stopped in front of the door.
After Lang Xiaoyi bowed slightly, he said respectfully: "Third Prince, we are ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to escort you all the way back to Yuecheng. Please rest assured, as long as we are here, any danger will be kept out." After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Qin Jinghuai with a firm gaze.
Qin Jinghuai smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude. "Thank you, His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Long, for sending people to help. Captain Wolf, shall we set off now?"
Lang Xiaoyi nodded, turned back to the team, and gave the order to set off. With the order, the entire team began to move forward slowly, heading towards Yuecheng.
Long Yan and Lin Ziyu stood on the city wall, watching the team going away.
Lin Ziyu couldn't help but sigh and murmured to himself: "I also want to go back and see grandpa and the others."
After hearing this, Long Yan hugged Lin Ziyu tightly in his arms and said in a domineering tone: "Not now."
Lin Ziyu raised his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why they couldn't go back together. His eyes seemed to be asking Long Yan, "Why not now?"
Long Yan looked at Lin Ziyu's expression and explained gently, "Because I'm about to become an adult."
Lin Ziyu blinked, still looking at Long Yan with a confused expression, indicating that he still didn't understand the reason.
Long Yan stared at Lin Ziyu's clear eyes, the fire in his heart grew stronger. Long Yan could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart, lowered his head, and gently kissed Lin Ziyu's lips.
Lin Ziyu trembled slightly, but did not resist. Instead, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the sweetness and warmth of the moment. Long Yan's hand slowly stroked Lin Ziyu's waist, softly and gently, as if exploring a precious treasure.
As time went on, Long Yan's breathing became more and more rapid, and the desire in his eyes became increasingly difficult to conceal. Lin Ziyu felt Long Yan's enthusiasm, his heartbeat quickened, and a blush appeared on his face. But he still did not refuse, but just quietly accepted it all.
Finally, when Long Yan felt that Lin Ziyu was beginning to have difficulty breathing, he slowly released his lips. Lin Ziyu gasped, his eyes blurred as he looked at Long Yan. Long Yan leaned his face close to Lin Ziyu's ear and whispered, "I don't want to continue looking and touching like this without getting satisfaction. I want more, deeper experiences. So, when I come of age, I will make you truly mine."
At this time, Long Si said loudly in the distance: "Your Highness, Master Ziyu, the time has come, it's time to set off."
Hearing this, Lin Ziyu's face turned red. He leaned in Long Yan's arms in shame and pretended to faint.
Long Yan chuckled softly, his lips curled up slightly, and a hint of doting and helplessness flashed in his eyes. He gently stroked Lin Ziyu's hair, hugged him tightly in his arms, and slowly walked down the city wall.
They took a carriage to the next big city and took the teleportation array back to the Orc royal city.
After returning to the Orcish Imperial City, Lin Ziyu still chose to live in the Sifang Pavilion instead of moving to Longyan's Crown Prince's Residence. However, since returning to the Imperial City, Longyan had been incredibly busy, often missing during the day and never returning at night. Sometimes, it was difficult to see him for a day or two in a row.
Lin Ziyu sat quietly on the swing in the yard, swaying leisurely. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on his body. He gently closed his eyes, feeling the breeze brush against his cheek, savoring the tranquility and comfort.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the news he had received today from his Fifth Grandfather and his father, learning that they had arrived safely in Yuecheng. Lin Ziyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of joy. Although he didn't know whether they encountered any danger along the way, he would know the answer as long as he waited for Lang Xiaoyi and the others to return and asked them.
Lin Ziyu's thoughts drifted away, lost in his own world, seemingly oblivious to everything around him. He seemed to see the days ahead, filled with hope and beauty. In this quiet moment, he felt a sense of inner peace and tranquility, as if all his worries had been left behind.
The sun shone warmly on him, illuminating the faint smile on his face. At this moment, he was like a beautiful painting, displaying a peaceful and tranquil state of mind.
"Brother Ziyu, Brother Ziyu, are you there?" Long Jiuer's clear voice called out from the distance. He trotted over to Lin Ziyu with brisk steps, excitedly grabbed his hand, and said, "Brother Ziyu, let's go soak in Longquan! We can stay there this time! My brother's off on his coming-of-age ceremony mission, and he won't be back for a few days!"
Lin Ziyu remembered that Long Yan had indeed told him yesterday that he would need to leave for a few days to complete his coming-of-age ceremony. He stood up from the swing and said to Long Jiuer with a smile, "Okay, let's go." In fact, Lin Ziyu had always wanted to visit Longquan again. The last time he went, he was rushed and hadn't had time to fully enjoy it before it was interrupted. This time, he could relax to his heart's content.
Dragon Spring is a hot spring, its waters imbued with spiritual energy, making it incredibly relaxing to soak in. Located behind the Dragon Palace, Dragon Spring is a hot spring reserved exclusively for the Dragon Clan. There are four types of Dragon Springs: the first is for Dragon Clan members seeking advanced cultivation, boasting abundant spiritual energy. The second is for Dragon Clan companions, offering healing benefits. The third is for Dragon Clan newborns, boasting the gentlest spiritual energy. The fourth is for relaxation, located outside Dragon Spring's perimeter, where spiritual energy is relatively low.
