"So…"
"Hm…?
Snow felt the soft caress of his hair before it gently glides over his cheek as the Emperor let out a soft sound.
A second later, Snow felt his lover large palm filled with so much warmth and tenderness has slowly cup his face and raising his head over in which he instantly met the passionate and burning silver eyes of the Emperor that has cause Snow eyelashes to flutter flusteredly while displaying shyness after he finally figured out what is the Emperor asking to do.
And as the two of them gaze at each other eyes that are filled with so many emotions that words alone couldn't express has finally cause Snow to slowly close his eyes while the Emperor face lean closer.
As Snow felt a slow warmth that penetrates his indifferent heart has finally let him discern that the time limit of taking the potion is dwindling down, it was evidence enough that the emotionless influence is slowly disappearing as his heart beat faster with so much warmth toward his lover.
"... I love you…"
Lou Fang who saw the acceptance in the young man's action has softly whispered his affection with bated breath, seemingly afraid that the person on his arms is unable to understand how much he truly loves him while desiring to keep repeating it all over no matter how much time pass by.
Every single day, every single second, every single minute, until for the rest of his life and eternity that he exists in the world, he wanted to let the young man know of how much he utterly loves him.
"... I also love you…"
And Snow who felt the burning breath of his lover gracing upon his lip while hearing those words filled with utter conviction that has once more become a pledge among others that carried an overwhelming conviction has also replied back with overwhelming gentleness that carried an infinite amount of affection.
So, without any hesitation, Lou Fang has leaned over and finally touched the soft lip of the person he loves with everything he got.
And ever so softly, Lou Fang has tenderly and carefully tasted the wonderful lip of the young man, in which every single action he uses is full of gentleness while cautiously treating the person he loves with overwhelming care, entirely fearing that he might accidentally break and cause pain to his most treasure person.
While Snow that was being kissed so tenderly and delicately along with feeling his lover overflowing love in every movement of their warm lip has slowly raised his arms to hook around the neck of the Emperor while leaning more closer to the warm body that continues to envelop his entire being.
And different from usual while despite the fact that Snow has also experienced such gentleness before from his previous lover but in this world, Snow is being treated with more care and gentleness by his lover, wholeheartedly believing that just one rough action of his would lead him to completely disappear forever.
Ah, a truly lovely lover Snow has that he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh between their lips that continue to be connected while carefully savoring as they experience their first time of kissing each other.
It was such a simple movement with their lips gently touching while moving around, unlike the passionate kiss in the previous life, but it didn't change the fact that Snow still felt the same burning passion, infinite affection, and overwhelming love just by the simple kiss of his lover during this special moment.
And while their gentle and loving kiss continues on, Snow has finally been released in just two minutes, which is a bit short than usual but for some reason, he is extremely satisfied among the many kisses that he has experienced by his lover in every world before.
Letting out a small pant, Snow eyes have slowly open up before closing again when a gentle peck was loving placed upon his forehead, and when he opened them once more, Snow met a smiling Lou Fang that continues to embrace him into his arms.
"You are all mine now… and I am also yours."
"Your Majesty… you truly are adorable…"
Snow has once more repeated the same remarks that he has spoken during their first unofficial dates before raising his hands and using the rest of the remaining time of his cheating potion to deal with the dark aura that has reacted during the moment of them tenderly kissing each other.
And when only a few minutes left, Snow has gently placed his head upon the wide shoulder of his lover before whispering words to his ears simultaneously using his mental link to give an order to Flake that has instantly move at great speed while his body split into clones once more.
With a ruthless move, Flake has pierced the three-person that has been hiding the entire time while they wait for a high chance of an opportunity to make their move.
While the other clones of Flake have also killed the stealth poisonous snake in the ground the whole time in which has been slowly moving toward Snow and the Emperor directions, completely showing which is their target the whole time.
One has a special Power of hiding presence, the other has a special power to receive a message from one person, while the other one is the use of a deadly poisonous snake that was able to deal with a powerful person.
And one of them was the Red Snake that has been shouted by the black-masked man that Flake has mentioned before.
While Zhuang and Yu Xing, even Han Hui and Qian widen their eyes in great alarm after witnessing such a dangerous situation that they didn't even detect before snapping their heads at the young man that has been leaning into the arms of the Emperor because without any single doubt they knew that he was the one who ordered the deadly and beautiful eagle to make a move.
"Your Majesty… I want to hear it…"
Lou Fang that felt the drowsy and sluggish voice of the person in his arms couldn't help but gently tightened his embrace before lowering his head to gently gaze at those clear black eyes that are brimming with emotions and along with tiredness.
"Baby…"
"Hmm… My love… I'm tired… so I will be sleeping for a while…so don't worry too much, alright?"
Snow who heard the familiar way that they intimately call each other has gently bent his lip in a happy smile before slowly closing his eyes that have become heavy while the count down of his cheat potion dwindles down into few seconds.
"Baby… Sleepy… I'll take care of everything for you…"
"I believe in you… good night my love…"
Feeling a soft gentle kiss on his forehead once more, Snow finally closes his eyes, and at the exact time that the final count down has turned zero, he heard the last soft whisper of his lover before his mind blanked out.
"Baby, have a sweet dream…"
And Snow faints into the arms of his lover, wholeheartedly believing and trusting his well being toward him while in another place, the blacked masked man who was surprised to found out that the line he sees goes toward the Palace has let out a mysterious smile.
When most people wouldn't consider or brave enough to infiltrate the Palace during the situation of everyone in the entire Capital was in extremely alert mode, the Black Masked Man Chao has still chosen to secretly enter inside the Palace, after all, it was the only chance he got since the Emperor is away.
However, everything has turned out to be useless when Chao and his people found themselves running away a few seconds of trying to infiltrate the Palace.
"Damn… so this is where the Great General Wen Shihong has been all along."
Chao is covering his mouth as he coughs out blood has gritted his teeth with utter frustration since the Great General of the Moon Empire of all people was chasing after them, especially when the person appeared to be in raging anger and was out for their blood, which Chao can quickly figure out the reason why.
"Tsk… those two young women aren't even his blood-related daughters."
Taking a deep breath, Chao has finally let Gui pull him to the ground after getting their chance while they give up most of their people as they escape to safety.
"I'll be back!"
As the entire Moon Capital becomes chaotic, a solemn and dark voice resound out causing Wen Shihong to swiftly throw his spear with overwhelming red light upon it to where he heard the sound has come from, only to hit another fake person that was acting as their leader.
Before watching with cold and detached gaze as the person's entire body becomes pulverize the moment it got hit with his attack while the ground underneath it started cracking.
"Tsk, just like his Majesty has spoken before, that person is honestly annoying and hard to kill."
"Great General! Great news! His Majesty has been able to rescue some of the captured people, and your daughters are along with them!"
Suddenly a soldier has swiftly appeared before kneeling down on one of his knees to report the good news he receives causing Wen Shihong cold expression to turned brighter while letting out a deep breath after finally knowing that his two daughters, well sons, are safe and sound.
"Good! His Majesty is truly a person I can believe in! Now, I only need to quickly wipe out all these enemies that dare to cause trouble in our Moon Empire!"
As soon as Wen Shihong is done wiping everyone out, he immediately went to pacify his beautiful wife that has been crazy with worries at their son's well being, before directly entering the Palace and learning about what happened, especially knowing what the Emperor has done despite eventually knowing Wen Yao real gender.
Although Wen Shihong has felt all kind of complicated emotions after hearing about it but he can only sigh and let fate dictate it, particularly when he could only trust the Emperor decision, nonetheless he was unable to stop the great relief and utter happiness he felt that his oldest son can be with the one he loves.
After all, Wen Shihong knows the feeling of only being able to look and longing for the person he couldn't be with for many years in which he still felt in utter disbelief of the miraculous chance he was given with.
However, when two days past by, the happiness and relief that Wen Shihong felt have quickly evaporated as he stands in front of the door and watching as the pale face Emperor tightly grasp the hands of the person that has been unconscious the entire time, which isn't showing any sign of waking up soon.
"Baby… please wake up fast, I'm waiting…"
