The moonlight is bright and the evening breeze is cool.

Nangong Ye and Xiao Yao stood in the elegant courtyard, looking at each other, looking like a beautiful picture.

"Yao Yao, you..."

He has been waiting for the day when she opens her heart to him.

However, the regent knew that the death of the Queen Mother made her very sad.

So during this period of time, he did not question her.

This was the first time Xiao Yao had asked him to stay overnight in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. The regent was surprised but also confused at the same time.

Xiao Yao took out some things she refined from the Feng Ring space.

"For Xiaobao and Xiaobei, this is their first birthday, a family reunion, and the meaning is definitely different."

"Nangong Ye, let's decorate the yard."

Another reason is that after tomorrow, they will engage in a bloody struggle with the demons, both covertly and overtly!

Xiaoyao cherishes this last relaxing time.

Hearing the words "family reunion" from her mouth, the Prince Regent's heart palpitated!

"good."

There are many servants in Zhenguo Hou Mansion, but the two of them do everything by their own hands.

When they were decorating the yard, they cooperated very well. Even if they didn't speak, they still had a warm and peaceful feeling.

It was already late at night when everything was ready.

Xiao Yao and Nangong Ye sat side by side by the lake, looking at the bright stars in the sky.

She took out two pots of spiritual wine she brewed from the Fengjie space and handed one over.

"Drink?"

"good."

The spirit wine enters the throat with a light fruity aroma.

The regent turned his face and looked at Xiao Yao's delicate and slightly red face. He obviously didn't drink much, but he felt that he was already drunk...

Xiao Yao also turned to look at him at this moment and suddenly asked: "Nangong Ye, what do you think the meaning of cultivation is?"

Her eyes are more moving than the stars in the sky.

The regent suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said warmly: "When a cultivator stands in the world, what he sees and hears is far beyond that of ordinary people."

"I have seen corrupt officials and the common people; I have seen natural and man-made disasters, starvation everywhere; I have also seen the invasion of demons, and the world has become a purgatory..."

"Some people say that this king monopolizes government affairs and is ambitious; others say that this king is serving the country and the people, and he is doing it for the gods."

"But everything I did was just follow my heart."

"The meaning of practice..."

"In the past, it was for the people of the Ziyun Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, and they are not afraid of oppression by powerful people or threats from demons."

"But now..."

Speaking of this, Nangong Ye looked at Xiao Yao with a tenderness that he didn't even notice.

"More protection for you and Xiaobao, Xiaobei."

"Yao Yao, I know that you are independent and tenacious, and you are not a dodder who depends on others."

"But I want you to understand that I will always have your backing no matter where you are!"

"You can rest assured and boldly do everything you want to do."

"If anything happens, I will take care of it for you!"

He is her greatest confidence!

Although Xiao Yao doesn't know what other unknown identities Nangong Ye has, she believes that he has the strength!

Even though she had never thought of relying on him, the feeling of having someone to protect and support her was really good.

It was as if she was an adult in the whole world, but as long as she was in front of him, she could be a coquettish child again.

"Nangong Ye."

Xiao Yao and him looked at each other with serious expressions.

"Let's fall in love."

Although the Prince Regent had never heard of the word "falling in love", it was not difficult to guess the meaning.

His whole body was stunned, and his dark and beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief!

"...Yao Yao, are you serious?"

Xiao Yao solemnly said: "I never joke about this kind of thing."

"Nangong Ye, do you know? In the past, I always felt that the days ahead are long and there is no need to worry about many things."

"But the Queen Mother suddenly left, and I realized that in life, we never know which will come first, tomorrow or the accident..."

“Do your best now and cherish the people around you, so that you won’t leave any regrets for yourself in the future!”

"Since you like me and I like you, let's give it a try."

Anyway, no matter for her or Nangong Ye, there is no one in the world who is more suitable for each other than them!

"Plop-plop-"

At this moment, the regent clearly heard his own heartbeat.

He took Xiaoyao's hand and slowly clasped his fingers with hers.

"Okay, let's fall in love."

A short and simple sentence confirmed their relationship.

There are no romantic words and no vows of eternal love.

Because he will use practical actions throughout his life to tell her how much he loves her.

…

On the way back to Mu's house, Mu Nian'an passed by a small alley and saw Long Er sitting on the roof.

Different from his usual gentle, patient and polite appearance.

At this moment, his face was filled with sadness and anger, as well as a faint murderous intention!

Mu Nian'an was confused and surprised, and he flew up to the roof lightly with his toes.

Sensing someone approaching, Long Er immediately became vigilant. Only when he saw the person clearly did he calm down the murderous look in his eyes.

"Miss Mu, why are you here?"

Mu Nian'an sat down next to him, resting his chin on his hands and looking sideways at Long Er.

"General Long Er, I should be asking you this, right?"

"When I heard what Qian Yu said at Zhenguo Hou Mansion, I felt that something was wrong with your mood."

"But you didn't want to reveal it, and I didn't ask any questions in front of everyone."

"There is no one else here now. Can you tell me what's wrong with you?"

Long Er pursed his thin lips tightly and did not answer.

Mu Nian'an thought to himself: "Look at me, I am obviously the legitimate daughter of the Mu family, but I have been occupied by an impostor and have lived an inhumane life for so many years."

"I've looked away now."

"As a Dragon Guard second only to Long Yi, you have advanced cultivation and great military exploits. You also follow the regent. I don't know how many people envy you..."

"Is there anything else that you can't look away from?"

Maybe Mu Nian'an's words were too relatable, or maybe it was the backlog of things in his heart that needed a way to vent.

Long Er looked into the distance and said slowly: "I was born in a big family in the west. My father is the head of the family and my mother is his head wife."

"Because it has been passed down for four generations, the family attaches great importance to incense."

"Before me, my mother gave birth to five daughters in a row. You can imagine the pressure and contempt she endured in the family..."

"Because she couldn't give birth to a son, she was teased by her mother-in-law, bullied by her tribe, and looked down upon by her husband."

"Even my five sisters... were drowned, strangled, trampled to death, thrown to death, and buried alive by them..."

Mu Nian'an's face was filled with horror!

"What?!"

"Why are they so crazy?"
