Chapter 158: In this lifetime, only you

ck, his face brimming with eagerness."Ooo—oooo—" A melodious horn blared across the hunting ground, waking up the princes from various nations and their representatives. They mounted their steeds one..."Su Ziyi's heart suddenly tightened. Two hundred death soldiers, how did Ying'er escape If Jun Liye wasn't by her side, then she…"

Su Ziyi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to think further. Self-reproach and guilt grew wildly in his heart, "Zhao Tianqi deserved to die! Ying'er, it's my brother's fault, I failed to protect you."

"This is something your brother, the emperor, has to deal with. Someone is plotting to kill me. Even if you protect me well, they won't let me go." It wasn't his fault, so how could Su Qingying blame him.

And Zhao Tianqi couldn't get the upper hand against her either.

This incident just passed as a small episode today, Xuanyuan Luocheng definitely wouldn't be foolish enough to care about this matter. Everything Zhao Tianqi did was his own doing, he has no one to blame but himself.

Today is the day for each country's return, so Xuanyuan Luocheng specially set up a banquet in the Golden Hall to see them off.

As time was drawing to a close, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen stood up holding a delicate wine cup and said, “It is said that all good things must come to an end. Today, everyone will be departing for their home countries. On behalf of the people of Xi Ming, I would like to offer you a toast, wishing you all a safe journey and hoping for continued friendship and stability between Xi Ming and all nations!”

As soon as Emperor Xuanyuan Lochern's words fell, all the civil and military officials in Ximing immediately stood up and raised their cups together, saying: "We wish you all a safe journey, and we hope that Ximing will have increasingly friendly and stable relations with all countries!"

People from other countries also stood up one after another. Su Qingying reluctantly followed suit, raising their cups together in return: "To Emperor Ximing of the West, may the four nations prosper and be well!"

The banquet was drawing to a close. Accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials from Ximing, people from various countries, with their grand entourages, followed closely behind Xuan Yuan Luo Chen as he arrived at the city gate.

Xuan Yuan Lu Chen escorted them all the way to the city gate. Su Zi Yi and others mounted their horses, "Western Ming Emperor, farewell for now."

"Today we part ways, and who knows when we'll meet again. No matter how long it may be, Ximing will always welcome you back, and the gates of Ximing will always remain open to all!" said Xuan Yuan Luo Chen.

"You're welcome."

Ready and prepared, Su Qingying stood on the spot, reluctantly looking at Jun Liye. Intense reluctance lingered around him.

"Ying'er, it's time to leave!" Su Ziyi glared at the violet-clad woman behind him. With so many eyes watching, this girl didn't know how to be more restrained.

"Ari, I..." Even though she had mentally prepared for the separation last night, when the moment of parting came, Su Qingying still felt a deep ache in her heart.

Knowing she was reluctant to leave, Jun Liye's breathtakingly handsome face broke into a smile. The tender affection in his eyes was so intense it could melt anything. He stroked her head and said softly, "Be good, go back. We'll see each other again soon."

"Well, you definitely have to come, or I won't wait for you. You'll regret leaving." There was no way around it. Su Ziyi's gaze was too piercing; Su Qingying practically turned back every three steps. The onlookers were speechless.

Is it really necessary It's not like we're parting ways forever!

Is it really necessary to be so cruel in broad daylight

Finally, when Su Qingying sat on the palanquin, Su Ziyue immediately set off. "Emperor Xi Ming, farewell! Let's go!"

"Wait!" Su Qingying suddenly cried out, causing the Dongyue troops who had just marched a few hundred meters to jump in fright.

Dongyue everyone: "..."

Princess, what's wrong with you again

"Ying'er…" Before Su Ziyi could even speak and reprimand her, a shadow flashed past their eyes. Su Qingying had already dashed from behind to stand before Jun Liye.

Jun Li Ye had been staring at her, and even before she ran over, he had already opened his arms to embrace her.

How come he never noticed how clingy this girl was before

Raising an eyebrow, Jun Liye couldn't help but tease, "What Don't want to let me go"

"Well, I'm reluctant to." As soon as the words left her lips, Su Qingying hugged his neck, tiptoed up, and kissed his lips deeply.

Four lips met, Jun Liye froze abruptly, clearly not expecting this girl to be so bold. Well, she was worthy of his liking—she definitely had the guts!

As if a kiss wasn't enough, Su Qingying lightly bit his lips and then stuck out her small pink tongue to gently lick his lip.

Jun Li's night blood eyes narrowed, tightly embracing her, pulling her body even closer to his.

Open wide, and let me taste that playful little cherry tongue of yours. I'm taking charge now, savoring every inch of your sweetness.

And before all the feudal lords, they kissed passionately, as if only the two of them existed in the world.

"......” A wave of gasps rippled through the crowd, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, mouths agape as if they could swallow a football!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, this is simply too disgraceful! It's completely shattering my worldview!

"……Su Ziyi's face instantly darkened as black as the bottom of a pot, so angry that his breathing was shallow! It was too heartbreaking!"

"...Xuan Yuan Luo Chen stared intently at the pair of lovers kissing passionately before him, feeling an indescribable irritability. Their tightly pressed figures were truly eye-catching."

Finally, after taking a deep breath, Su Ziyi roared at Su Qingying for the first time in his life: "Qingying!"

Looking at her enraged elder brother, Su Qingying took a deep breath, her eyes reddening: "Alì, I really have to leave. Remember to come find me in Dongyue. If you dare to lie to me, I won't let you go! Even if it's the ends of the earth, I won't let you off!"

Gently touching her swollen lips, Jun Liye said with a serious expression: "I, Jun Liye, swear that in this life and every life to come, I will only love you!"

Su Qingying smiled, rubbing affectionately against his chest before looking up. "Alright, I'll be waiting for you in Dongyue."

"Big brother, let's go." To prevent Su Ziyi from being killed by her anger before he returned to Dongyue, Su Qingying obediently got back on the carriage.

"Let's go!" Even if she was angry, Su Ziyue wouldn't scold her in front of everyone else. Besides, thinking about how they would never see each other again after returning to Dongyue made her heart feel much lighter.

This time, nothing unexpected happened. The main force marched forward in an orderly manner.

Su Qingying sat leisurely on the carriage, suddenly inspired, she raised her voice and sang a song about loyal patriotism.

Smoke rises, the landscape looks northwards,

The dragon rises, the horse whinnies, and the sword qi is like frost.

My heart is like the vast Yellow River,

Twenty years, traversing the world, who can stand against it

Wrathful desire, the long blade cuts wherever it points.

How many siblings and loyal souls lie buried in their distant homes

It's worth sacrificing one hundred lives for one's country.

Sighs of regret, words fail me, tears stream down my face.

Horse hooves head south, people look north.

A man looks north, the grass is green and yellow, dust flies.

I would gladly defend our land and expand our territory.

The mighty Dongyue wants to let the four directions...

Cheers!

Su Qingying's light and melodious voice gradually faded away, but the lyrics filled with passionate fervor instantly straightened the spines of the Dongyue troops. A surge of indescribable pride welled up within them.

"It's getting late, little girl has already gone far, we should leave too, or else when the sun sets, we won't reach the inn." Shangguan Jinghong rode on horseback and laughed.

"Hmm." Not until their figures disappeared completely did Jun Liye calmly retract his gaze, flip onto his horse, and without a single idle word to Xuanyuan Luochen, ride his steed to the front.

Xuan Yuan Mo swayed his ink-painted fan as he walked over, his tone unable to express much. "Imperial brother, this lass is truly a gem, silent yet brilliant. We all mistakenly took her for an unremarkable pearl, only Jun Li Ye had discovered her extraordinary talent long ago."e wallflowers, echoing in agreement.Upon seeing this, Su Qingying's complexion finally improved somewhat, and a few points of ferocity slightly faded from between her brows.Her gaze shifted to Su Chen...
