After a long time, the volcano gradually stopped erupting. The two of them lay side by side on the bed, both of them were exhausted, and fought fiercely several times.
Yetong rested her head in the crook of Qianye's arms, stroked his sculpture-like pectoral muscles with her fingers, her eyes were as gentle as water.
The full moon hangs high in the night sky, and the moonlight shines on them quietly through the whirling leaves and windows, making them look extraordinarily peaceful and warm. Qianye only felt the indescribable peace and relaxation at this moment, and the drowsiness hit him in waves, his eyes seemed to be extremely heavy, and he wanted to fall asleep.
Yetong didn't feel sleepy at all, and called softly: "Qianye."
"Um?"
"We already have a home, don't we?"
"certainly."
"… Um."
Qianye couldn't bear it any longer, and fell asleep in a daze. With a smile on the corner of Yetong's mouth, he arched his head and put himself in a more comfortable position, thinking about things quietly.
In the early morning of the empire, the Eternal Night Continent was still in darkness. Several upper continents blocked the sunlight, and only a ray of bright morning light could be seen at the edge of the sky.
However, the work and rest time of the land occupied by the human race has always followed that of the upper mainland imperial capital, so at this time, Qi Shao has already visited.
It was Yetong who went downstairs first, opened the courtyard door, and let Song Zining into the living room. Song Zining did not come alone, Nan Hua was behind him. Yetong had already put on Lu Ju's mask before going downstairs, and restrained her breath, she looked like an ordinary young girl.
Nanhua made no secret of his curiosity, staring at Yetong left and right.
She has a close relationship with Song Zining, knows Qianye a little bit, and has fought side by side, but the more she knows, the more mysterious he becomes.
Qianye's combat strength has improved rapidly, reaching a new level almost every once in a while. Even Song Zining, who Nanhua admires and admires, also admits that he is inferior to him. On the other hand, Qianye's appearance has long possessed the unique beauty of upper-ranked blood races, combining hardness and softness, and even most so-called beauties are far inferior.
In addition to being not good at words and not good at communication, in Nanhua's heart, Qianye is almost perfect. Occasionally, she also wondered what kind of girl such a man would find by his side.
Nanhua has outstanding sisters herself, and she once mentioned to Song Zining that they should come over and try to get along with Qianye, but her request was politely rejected by Song Zining, it seems that Qianye already has a sweetheart. At that time, she was curious about what kind of extraordinary woman that would be.
Now that Qianye came back, suddenly there was a young girl beside her, and she lived together in a stately manner. It would be strange if Nan Hua would not be curious. So when she got up early in the morning, when she heard that Song Zining was coming to Qianye's place for breakfast, she immediately followed.
After seeing Yetong, the curiosity in Nanhua's heart increased instead of diminishing. Judging from the aura, this girl with black hair and black eyes has extremely limited combat power, at most eight or nine levels. Although for the tens of millions of cultivators in the empire, most of them will not be able to break through to the generals in their lifetime, reaching the eighth or ninth level is already the peak of ordinary people. But Qianye is no ordinary person.
In this world where strength is paramount, for those young and powerful men like Qianye and Song Zining who are rising to the sky and famous in the empire to stand beside them, if they don't have a proud family background, they must have considerable strength themselves, otherwise they will look There is always a sense of mismatch.
Yetong's current appearance is only pretty and pleasant. After all, Qianye and her intention are to keep a low profile as much as possible. An appearance that is too amazing, even comparable to the original appearance, will only cause trouble, and is meaningless.
But Ye Tong had a strange aura, her eyes were calm and deep, as if they contained the whole world. For some reason, Nanhua felt a little ashamed of himself, sat up straight involuntarily, and became nervous for no reason, unable to ask any questions he was full of.
Song Zining, on the other hand, walked freely, as if he had arrived at his own home, chatting with Yetong about recent events in the empire, and soon the two of them had a lively conversation. Nan Hua heard it very strangely, because Song Zining used to talk about romantic affairs when facing beautiful women, and he was extremely talented, he knew everything about eating, drinking, and having fun, so naturally he could talk colorfully.
However, now he was talking about major military affairs, most of which were bloody battles and the battle of Beast's Rest, especially the battles that Song Zining personally commanded. Yetong, on the other hand, was obviously very interested in these topics, and occasionally interrupted to ask questions, all of which hit the point. With just a few questions, Nanhua was shocked by her talent in warfare.
What also made Nanhua puzzled was that the way Song Zining chatted with Yetong was like treating them as equal partners, which was not like Qi Shao's attitude towards women.
Only then did Qianye come down the stairs, and Song Zining immediately called out, "Qianye! Hurry up and cook, we're all hungry!"
Qianye was stunned, and then gave Song Zining a hard look, "Didn't you bring a whole team of cooks from the empire? Why did you come to me so early in the morning to eat!"
Song Zining took it for granted: "The cooks are not as good as yours! Go to work!"
Qianye is not willing to submit, "You have never eaten the food I cook, how do you know that my cooking is delicious?"
"I could smell the smell of your cooking last night. I endured the whole night and didn't bother you. I only came here this morning to eat. I'm sorry for you! Well, go to the place where you should stay, and don't neglect your business!"
While speaking, Song Zining jumped up, pushed and shoved, and forced Qianye into the kitchen.
Qianye suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Wait! You said you smelled my cooking last night? What's going on?"
"Where there are trees, there are leaves." After saying this, Song Zining slammed the kitchen door shut, locking Qianye in the kitchen.
After a while, Qianye prepared a sumptuous breakfast, but when he stared at Song Zining, his eyes were sharp, obviously murderous. Song Zining was not afraid of him, he just pretended not to see him.
Smelling the aroma, Nanhua immediately cheered, jumped out of the sofa, and rushed into the dining room. Song Zining followed closely behind, and sat down at the table without hesitation, waiting for a big battle.
The four of them swept away the clouds and cleaned up the table full of food in an instant, even Yetong didn't hold back. Everyone's combat power is strong, and they attack quickly and ruthlessly. If you hesitate a little, you won't get anything.
After breakfast, Song Zining could not escape bad luck, and was arrested by Qianye to wash the dishes, leaving Yetong and Nanhua in the living room, chatting without a word.
It is not so easy for two powerful figures in bloody battles to deal with a pile of dishes. While working, Song Zining said, "Qianye, what are you going to do next? Continue to earn military merits?"
"Well, it is said that enough military merits can be exchanged for an imperial amnesty."
Song Zining naturally knew why Qianye wanted an amnesty, he was silent for a moment, and only asked: "Then you are still going to continue fighting for the Zhao Clan?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's see the situation and the opportunity. When I came to Heiliu City, Lord You asked me to go back in ten days."
Song Zining hesitated for a moment, and said, "If you want to make military achievements, you do have a chance recently. I just got the news that the empire is planning to fight the Eternal Night Council in the Rest of Behemoths."
Qianye was very surprised: "Great battle? The competition for ancient essence fragments is over, what else is there to fight?"
"To compete for the entrance to the Sleep of the Beast. Haven't you been to the Sleep of the Beast? How is the environment inside?"
Qianye said while recalling: "There is a void passage at the end of Sleep of the Giant Beast, which leads to another world. It looks like a flying land in the void. The inside is very large and the environment is very strange. There is a big tree trunk in a forest It is full of original liquid and is of great value. Could it be that the reason why the empire launched a war is to fight for this forest?"
Song Zining shook his head and said, "I don't know either, I only know that this war is related to the location of that flying land. And the level of mobilization for the war is very high." He put down the bowl in his hand, looked at Qianye, frowned and said, "This battle War is very rewarding, but it's also very dangerous. In fact, I don't recommend that you get too involved."
Qianye said calmly: "I have considered it very clearly, but I need enough military merit to exchange for the amnesty order of the empire, which is related to Yetong's safety, otherwise I will not feel at ease. So no matter what, I will continue fighting."
Song Zining was silent for a while again, and said, "The amnesty order..." But he didn't say any more, just nodded, and said, "Okay, then we'll go back to the Imperial Camp together in two days. Then, take care of yourself, don't die .”
Qianye glanced into the living room and said, "Don't worry."
At this moment, there is a gap between the battles, and the exploration of the Sleep of the Beast has not been completely over, and some people from both sides have not returned yet. The two camps also need time to evaluate the harvest of exploration and the value of the passage of Sleep of Beasts. Therefore, the battlefield remained calm.
Tribes on the Eternal Night side have begun to withdraw one after another. According to the practice of this kind of exploration war in the past, since the ancient essence under the Sleep of Beasts has been divided up, the war is basically over. As for the territory, the Eternal Night Continent is poor in resources, and both the dark force and the dawn force are thinner than the upper continent. Basically, both sides use it as a temporary battlefield, and there is no idea of long-term occupation.
However, the movement of the empire is just the opposite. When Qianye and Song Zining returned to the imperial camp, the atmosphere was not relaxed. The camp was in full swing, new troops came continuously, and a fleet of floating warships was approaching rapidly in the distance.
With this scene in his eyes, Qianye knew that, just as Song Zining said, the empire not only had no plans to withdraw its troops, but instead massively increased its troops, preparing for a big battle.
However, Qianye also has doubts. At present, the imperial army has the upper hand, and reinforcements are still coming, but the victory or defeat of large-scale wars has never been determined by ordinary troops, especially now that there are heavenly kings and maharajas in command, the outcome of the war is actually It depends on the battles of those peak powerhouses.
Right now, there are two great monarchs, Medanzo and Roxar, facing the Rest of the Beast. No matter how amazing Zhang Boqian is, after all, the chances of winning with one enemy and two for the newly promoted king are really small. What's more, the origin of this war is special. Although the Queen of the Night and the Eternal Burning Flame are fighting the Sky Ghost in the void, they are still participating in the war. Even if Zhang Boqian can really defeat the two dark lords, the Queen of the Night will return from the void at any time. What then
Regarding this point, Song Zining couldn't figure it out either. However, he has other ideas. Since the empire has placed a heavy bet, it must be prepared. It's just that what the backhand is is the top secret.
After returning to the imperial camp, Song Zining went to his general staff, while Qianye returned to the camp of the Zhao Clan, and found that the Zhao Clan had also sent additional troops from the west land, which showed that the empire was bound to win the next big battle.
Opposite the Sleeping Beast, in the majestic castle in the center of the Eternal Night Battlefront, Medanzo and Roxar temporarily put aside their prejudices and stood side by side, looking at the imperial camp in the distance.
