Liu Erlong leaned softly against Ye Qiu's chest, her breath hot.
"Then what exactly is going on between my husband and His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Ye Qiu took Liu Erlong's soft hand and walked towards where Xiao Wu and the others were training.
He explained, "Erlong, actually, His Highness the Crown Prince's identity is somewhat unusual."
"Unusual?"
Liu Erlong wrapped her arms around his arm, her confusion turning into resentment.
She leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear and asked in a soft, sweet voice,
"Husband, what exactly is unusual about him?"
Ye Qiu felt a little uncomfortable being squeezed by her full body.
He rolled his eyes and reached out to wrap his arms around her exceptionally soft waist.
He whispered,
"Do you remember Xue'er who accompanied me back last time?"
"What does she have to do with me?"
Liu Erlong was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant, her expression changing slightly.
"Husband means His Highness the Crown Prince is...!"
Ye Qiu quickly pulled Liu Erlong into his arms and covered her red lips with his.
He breathed hot air into her ear.
"Shh!"
"Don't make a sound, don't let anyone hear!"
"Mmm."
Liu Erlong nodded slightly.
After a while, Ye Qiu finally let her go.
"Phew~"
Liu Erlong was a little annoyed, leaning against Ye Qiu and glaring at him.
She breathed a warm, fragrant breath at Ye Qiu.
"Husband, are you planning to smother Erlong?"
"How could I? I'm just afraid someone will hear."
Ye Qiu gently wiped away the glistening color from her fiery red lips. He took
a small, comforting sip.
"Mmm, don't worry, husband, Erlong definitely won't tell anyone."
Liu Erlong wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu's waist and assured him. She breathed a sigh of relief
.
So that Xue'er was His Highness the Crown Prince.
No wonder she stared at her husband like that, and the two of them were exchanging glances.
"Alright, it's time to go back."
Ye Qiu gently pushed her away and pulled her towards the training ground.
"Mmm, husband, where are we going for lunch?"
Liu Erlong nestled beside Ye Qiu, a gentle smile on her face.
"That's a question for you, isn't it?"
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.
"Then I'll take you to my old place."
"No problem, whatever you say."
...
Noon.
After Ye Qiu led the women away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he went out with Liu Erlong.
Walking on the bluestone-paved road in Tiandou City,
Liu Erlong didn't care about other people's gazes.
She openly put her arm around her husband, who still looked like a young boy.
Tiandou City was also divided into areas.
In addition to the four districts of East, West, South, and North, the Imperial Palace occupied the central position.
The Imperial Palace occupied the largest area, no less than the other four districts.
The only building complex on the entire continent that could rival it was the Imperial Palace of the Star Luo Empire.
The other four districts occupied roughly the same area.
But the gap between rich and poor
existed in every city.
The East City was not only the place where major commercial streets and various academies stretched, but it was also in the same direction as Sunset Forest, and its location was also prestigious.
Prosperity and bustle are its defining characteristics.
Following the East City is the South City, which boasts a favorable geographical location and a consistently warm climate, making it an ideal place to live.
All the major officials and members of the royal family had their residences located there.
To the north were the military camps and training grounds.
"Husband, Erlong's little nest is in the West City, a place where most of the poor and homeless stay. The environment isn't great. But don't worry, Erlong is a Soul Douluo now, I'll definitely protect you!"
Liu Erlong linked arms with Ye Qiu, a gentle smile in her eyes.
"Erlong, I'm not that weak now, okay?"
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes at her helplessly.
"Haha."
Liu Erlong giggled, squinting her eyes, leaning on Ye Qiu's shoulder.
"Although my husband isn't weak
anymore," "As your wife, no matter what, if I see someone attack you, Erlong can't help but teach them a lesson, even if it's just saying a few bad things. My husband is the most perfect being to me."
"Uh..."
Ye Qiu paused, turning to look at Liu Erlong staring intently at him, and smiled.
"You're making me embarrassed. Being a womanizer... isn't that a flaw?"
"Hmph! How boring."
Liu Erlong snorted, pouting helplessly.
"..."
Ye Qiu opened his mouth, realizing he had indeed been oblivious to her charm.
After a long pause,
Liu Erlong stared at him and said softly,
"It's precisely because your husband is so fickle that it proves your excellence and perfection, isn't it?"
Ye Qiu paused slightly, looking into her dark eyes filled with alluring charm.
He pursed his lips and said helplessly,
"Erlong, saying that... I really feel ashamed."
"Pfft, haha, that's exactly what I want to make you ashamed, so you'll love us even more."
Liu Erlong giggled and hugged Ye Qiu tightly.
She gently kissed his cheek, the warm, soft touch seeming to pour a warm current into his heart,
surging towards his dantian.
Her gentle, watery voice was intoxicating.
"But Erlong doesn't want her husband to only feel ashamed or guilty. Don't always keep these feelings hidden in your heart, otherwise the relationship won't be pure. Husband should be happy; the sisters haven't really blamed you."
"How can such a thing be taken for granted? If I really did, I'd probably become a beast!"
Ye Qiu pursed his lips and shook his head helplessly.
"…"
Liu Erlong paused slightly, then a faint smile appeared on her face, a smile that grew even deeper.
"It seems that this kind of husband is more charming!"
Passionate yet understanding of his responsibilities, he maintains respect for each other despite having many female confidantes.
Perhaps he is indeed somewhat indecisive.
But perhaps it is precisely this kind of person who is flesh and blood, and who values feelings more?
Afraid of hurting, and afraid of letting down.
Therefore, he has many unknowing romantic entanglements.
"Heh, but I don't always feel guilty. Sometimes… when I'm with you all, my mind is only filled with happiness and joy; I don't have time to think about those unpleasant things."
Ye Qiu took Liu Erlong's soft hand and walked towards the west city.
"That's good."
Liu Erlong smiled broadly, teasingly reminding him,
"Husband, please remember where Erlong's home is, and be sure to come find Erlong."
"Yes, I definitely will. I can't bear to part with this relationship, and I can't bear to lose a virtuous wife and loving mother like Erlong,"
Ye Qiu nodded in assurance.
At this point,
Liu Erlong seemed to recall something, and her mood noticeably somber.
She thought of her mother. Her
mother, born into a poor and even lowly family, had traveled thousands of miles alone to bring her to Tiandou City
so that she could have a better upbringing. She had spent her entire life savings to buy a place to settle down in this relatively impoverished western city. (End of Chapter)
