Although I rushed slowly, it still took several days. By the time Miao Anyun returned to the capital, Qi Anzhi could no longer suppress the chaos in the court.
As soon as he got off his horse, Miao Anyun went straight to the Star Observation Hall, changed back into the white clothes he usually wore, and went to find the ministers. First, calm down the emotions of the ministers. Miao Anyun knew that within two days, good news would come from the front.
Sure enough, within one day, news of a great victory came from the front. The emperor will be returning soon, so the previous rumors that the emperor was attacked and his life and death are unknown will naturally be disproven.
After successfully solving the Chishui and Zishan incident, Leng Hanxuan returned with groups of elite soldiers. Each of these soldiers had experienced hundreds of battles, and the strong bloody smell on their bodies frightened the people who were waiting in the streets to welcome him.
After returning to the capital, the first thing Leng Hanxuan did was to summon Miao Anyun to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Xiuyuan, do you still remember what I asked you before I went on the expedition?"
"What did your Majesty say? I don't have a good memory, please remind me." Miao Anyun naturally couldn't forget, but he chose to pretend to be dumbfounded.
"Have you forgotten? Forget it, I don't mind mentioning it again." How could Leng Hanxuan allow Miao Anyun to avoid this question again, "Two years ago, you didn't answer my question. Now that I'm back safely, I'll ask again For once, if I take this country as your betrothal, will you marry me?"
"I... don't want..." Miao Anyun flatly refused. He knew very well that his life had entered a countdown. I'm afraid he will die within a month. The person in front of him was the person who had chased him for three worlds. Miao Anyun had to admit that his feelings for him had already changed qualitatively and were no longer the original friendship and family affection.
Even so, this feeling was not as deep as love. He could only say that he liked Leng Hanxuan. Based on this love alone, Miao Anyun was willing to agree. However, he knew too well that losing after gaining would be even more painful, so he didn't want to leave any thoughts for Leng Hanxuan.
"..." Leng Hanxuan was silent for a long time, with a dejected look on his face. He had actually expected Miao Anyun to refuse, but he still couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope in his heart. Now, his last thoughts are gone. "Since Xiuyuan doesn't want to..."
But no matter what, I will never let go again! Even if Xiuyuan would hate him... Leng Hanxuan's mouth gradually became filled with a bitter taste.
Miao Anyun looked at Leng Hanxuan's dejected eyes and frowned. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a blackness in front of his eyes and lost consciousness.
————
After waking up from a coma, Miao Anyun found herself lying on a large bed, with her hands and feet bound by thin iron chains. This iron chain is made of cold iron from the outside, and it is absolutely impossible to open it with Miao Anyun's current strength.
"Xiuyuan is awake?" The man's deep voice echoed in his ears, causing some itch.
"What do you want?" Miao Anyun tugged on the chain on his hand. He looked at Leng Hanxuan with a very calm expression.
"..." Leng Hanxuan said nothing and kissed her coldly.
Miao Anyun was caught off guard and kissed her lips by him, her eyes widening in vain.
Through the kiss, a mouthful of spicy liquid was passed over by Leng Hanxuan. Miao Anyun choked, it was wine... Realizing this, Miao Anyun, who drank a glass of wine, quickly became confused.
For some reason, there was a voice in his heart telling him. Xiu Yuan was not good at drinking, so he poured wine into Xiu Yuan. Leng Hanxuan looked at Miao Anyun with blurred eyes. Call him despicable or shameless, he really still wants Xiu Yuan. It seems that someone once told him that if he doesn't get his love, he will get his hate. Even if Xiuyuan would hate him... Leng Hanxuan's eyes darkened.
…
Miao Anyun was still a little confused when he woke up, and the gap in his memory made him frown. Then he felt... the pain that felt like his whole body was being run over by a wheel, and was about to fall apart, especially...
As if thinking of something, Miao Anyun lifted the thin quilt covering her body. When he first woke up, he felt something wasn't right about his body.
Miao Anyun:…
The clothes on his body had long since disappeared, but this was not the focus of Miao Anyun's attention. Her jade-white skin was covered with dots of ambiguous red marks. Miao Anyun used her knees to wonder what happened last night. Although he had expected it, Miao Anyun still couldn't control the desire in his heart to overturn the table.
This relationship is developing too fast, and he has a conservative personality and can't handle it. Although he realized that he liked Leng Hanxuan, he only planned to have a relationship with Leng Hanxuan to try it out. Well now, they both rolled directly into bed.
Also, Leng Hanxuan, this naughty boy, actually learned how to make him drink! Although Miao Anyun couldn't remember what happened after he was drunk, he still remembered what happened before. Miao Anyun gritted his teeth and felt that his waist was about to break. He decided that if Leng Hanxuan came to see him later, he would just wait!
————
Leng Hanxuan, who finally ate the meat, helped Miao Anyun clean up when he got up, and went to court as if running away. Thinking of Miao Anyun's possible reaction, he was absent-minded throughout the morning. Yesterday, he spread the news of the death of the emperor's master, and the whole country was in mourning. His trance was actually regarded as a severe blow. When he went to court, many ministers advised him not to be overly sad and asked him to take care of his dragon body. He couldn't help but feel a little bit dumbfounded.
By the time he went to court, he was a little afraid to face Miao Anyun. He forced Xiu Yuan last night, and although he felt satisfied, he was also very panicked. Even though he had already expected that Xiu Yuan might hate him, as soon as he thought that he would really have to face Xiu Yuan's resentful eyes, Leng Hanxuan's heart felt as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
No matter how reluctant you are, you have to go.
"Xiuyuan..." Leng Hanxuan looked at Miao Anyun, who was sitting on the bed expressionlessly, and gently called his name in a cautious tone.
Miao Anyun, who had his head lowered and didn't know what he was thinking, slowly raised his head when he heard Leng Hanxuan's voice. His tone was indifferent: "You are back."
"..." Leng Hanxuan almost choked when he heard his distant tone.
…
Without government affairs, Miao Anyun's life was more comfortable, and Leng Hanxuan never touched him again. Although Leng Hanxuan was still under house arrest, Miao Anyun could still read the travel notes and other books specially brought to him by Leng Hanxuan, which seemed to be no different from when he was in the Star Observation Hall. The food and clothing he enjoys are of the best quality. Miao Anyun knows very well that this is the kind of treatment only a king of a country can have.
Living like this until the end of the world is a kind of happiness. It's just that the end of his life is very close...
The days passed quickly, and the last day came in a blink of an eye.
Leaning on the couch and reading a book about weird stories, when Miao Anyun felt someone hugging him, he just glanced at it and had no other reaction. After so many days, he had become accustomed to someone holding him in his arms at every turn. At first it was just a cautious test, but after seeing that he wasn't disgusted, he started to act unscrupulously.
Someone probably wanted to boil the frog in warm water and use a subtle method to make him gradually get used to his existence. Miao Anyun did not try to expose Leng Hanxuan's little thoughts and allowed him to do so.
Holding the person in his arms, Leng Hanxuan let out a sigh of satisfaction. Miao Anyun did not do anything more, but Miao Anyun did not refuse his approach, and even maintained an almost acquiescent attitude after that day. This made the already desperate Leng Hanxuan go crazy with joy. It's just that people's hearts are greedy, and he can't help but want more. Now, Miao Anyun has gradually begun to get used to him. He thought that after ten or eight years of this, maybe Miao Anyun would accept him sooner or later.
Using Leng Hanxuan as a heater, Miao Anyun read in trance while holding the book. Seemingly sensing something, Miao Anyun suddenly put down the book in his hand.
"I'm leaving." He smiled, his smile was cold and ethereal, as if he would be gone with the wind in the next second.
"Where do you want to go?" Leng Hanxuan could hardly hide the panic in his heart. He subconsciously grabbed Miao Anyun's wrist and felt a little more at ease.
Just the next second, bright red blood overflowed from Miao Anyun's mouth, and Miao Anyun closed her eyes with a smile.
Leng Hanxuan held the already cold body in his arms blankly, the pain and despair in his eyes intertwined into a darker color than the night. He actually forgot that the life span of previous national masters was less than thirty... As for whether he really forgot or didn't want to remember, it is meaningless now.

[The host body dies and the mission ends.]
The moment Miao Anyun closed his eyes, the familiar voice of 0237 rang in his ears. Then, he returned to that familiar space.
[Task 1... If the completion rate exceeds 95%, the system will determine the success and award 1,000 points. Task 2 is completed, and 5,000 points are awarded... The system is settling, with 17,000 points remaining.]
Miao Anyun was a little surprised that the task of ensuring "Ning Xiuyuan"'s survival was actually completed.
[Ding, make sure the male protagonist survives until the end of the plot and the system will determine that the mission is completed. Although the host has not reached the age of thirty-five as mentioned in the original work, he has completed the plot and the completion rate exceeds 95%, so the system determines that the host's mission is successful. ] Seemingly sensing Miao Anyun's doubts, 0237 explained.
[Do you want to retain this world ability? 10,000 points will be deducted for reservation, yes or no?]
After Miao Anyun confirmed that he had retained his abilities, he was transported to the next world by 0237.
I hope I can meet him again in the next world...
