"Let's return to the palace." Nangong Ao muttered to himself, and then he walked towards Jin Xiao Ai's room. This time, if he were to return to the palace, he would bring Jin Xiaosi, Little Sister, and Feng Liancheng along with him. He would not leave them outside the palace. Although he did not know if Jin Xiaoyi was willing or not, but since he knew that she was a woman from five years ago, he must have given her a proper name.
Jin Xiaoye had just finished his meal and was taking a nap.
A lot of things had happened today, and her head was in a mess. But luckily, she had managed to sort things out. At the same time, he also roughly knew about Nangong Ao's matter. She didn't expect this man to be the Emperor, and he was also the man who had a good time with her five years ago.
It turned out that everything had really been predestined. She couldn't rush it, nor could she escape it.
Knock! Knock! Knock! She lazily said, "Come in!"
When he opened the door, he saw that it was Nangong Ao.
As soon as Nangong Ao entered the door, he immediately changed the topic, "Woman, follow me into the palace."
Jin Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment and couldn't react in time.
"Are you serious?"
Was this man crazy? He actually said it out loud. She hadn't even made up her mind whether to go with him or not, even though she knew he was the same person from five years ago.
But that didn't mean she was going to follow him into the palace.
"You have to understand that you are my man now, but I have yet to agree to be your woman, so you have no right to command me."
Jin Xiaoyi reclined on the bed, looking relaxed.
"Woman, I am not joking with you. In front of you, I am just a man, a man who wants to pursue his own dream. Now, I wish for you to fulfill this dream with me. From now on, you are the only woman who can enter my world. "
Jin Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows and chuckled, but very quickly, he retracted his smile.
She could see the seriousness in his eyes. He was not lying, and his eyes were filled with incomparable sincerity.
"Nangong Ao, is what you said true?"
Tears welled up in her eyes.
At that moment, she realized that she was really just a woman, a woman who longed to be cared for and loved.
In the modern world, she had waited for more than twenty years. In her more than twenty years of life, no one had ever gently said to her, "Jin Xiaolei, in the future, let me protect you." Nobody knew that ever since she was young, she had wished someone would say that to her.
Although the current her was very powerful and her body already had other powers, her heart was still weak. Perhaps the stronger her heart was, the darker and darker side would be behind her.
If only there was someone who would take care of her in the modern world, then perhaps, her personality would be different now.
"Nangong Ao, what do you want me to do?"
It was as if he had finally relaxed. The man in front of her had once said that he would use his life to protect her, and furthermore, he only needed her in his world. Whether it was sweet words or lies, at least she felt happy at this moment.
Nangong Ao stepped forward and helped her up. His black eyes stared fixedly at her, as if he wanted to imprint every inch of her skin into his eyes.
"There's nothing more serious than this."
Pushing her into his arms, he truly felt that she was his.
In this lifetime, there was not a single person who was so special. Furthermore, there was not a single person who could live in her heart. She was the only one.
Indeed, there were a lot of bad things about this woman, but he just couldn't control his gaze and couldn't help but focus on her.
Previously, he was not interested in women, probably because he did not meet such a suitable person.
She should be his good man.
"Woman, listen to me. Something happened in the palace. My subordinates just told me that there was a change in the palace, so I had to go back to the palace. In the past, I suddenly disappeared because I wanted to return to the palace. At that time, I didn't have you, so I could freely come and go, but I said that I would protect you. If you didn't follow me into the palace, then I wouldn't be able to protect you. "Only by putting you under my nose can I feel at ease."
This man seemed to have a lot of sweet talk, even more emotional than the conversations in Qiong Yao's play. The only difference was that she saw sincerity in Nangong Ao's eyes. However, the modern world had taught her that emotions were a ever-changing thing. If she agreed to his request so easily, then once he changed, she would be abandoned.
Therefore, she could not follow him into the palace.
"Nangong Ao, you are my man. Your words are very pleasant to listen to. However, we are still in a relationship of a man and a woman. I have the ability to protect myself, so you don't have to worry, go back to the palace to take care of your matters. "
She tried to calm herself down.
The palace wasn't a place that suited her, but the most important reason was that she needed to hurry and find the Heavenly Imperial Kingdom's dragon vein and find the Vermillion Bird Stone.
Time was running out. If she went to the palace, she might not make it in time.
"Nan Gong Ao, listen up. Compared to entering the palace, there is a more important matter you have to attend to. After you've settled your matters in the palace, tell me, have you ever heard of the Vermillion Bird Stone? "
"Vermillion Bird Stone?"
Nangong Ao had a confused expression. He had never heard of this thing before. But this thing was obviously very important.
"Let me say it."
Feng Liancheng entered from outside the door. He had heard the conversation between Nangong Ao and Jin Xiaoyi very clearly.
Initially, he did not want to eavesdrop, but after hearing from Nangong Ao that he wanted to enter the palace with him, he stopped in his tracks and secretly overheard the conversation between the two of them.
"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty."
Although eavesdropping was not a glorious matter, Feng Liancheng still obediently kowtowed to Nangong Ao. In this world, Nangong Ao was the emperor. He was the master of all things on earth.
Although he was a Divine Beast, in the human world, he should still be polite to Nangong Ao, the emperor.
Nangong Ao cast a sidelong glance at Feng Liancheng. At the beginning, he did not know that he was a divine beast, so he was wary of him. Now that he knew his identity, he treated him differently. So this was the divine beast that was protecting the Heavenly Imperial Kingdom.
He didn't expect to see it in his lifetime.
"No need to be so polite. There are only Asura Jade and Brother Feng here. "
Feng Liancheng wasn't polite and stood up to explain to Nangong Ao.
"Alright. I should not have eavesdropped, but there are some things that I must clarify. "Now that we have entered the apocalyptic era of the Heavenly Imperial Kingdom, the dragon veins are in chaos. We must find the Vermillion Bird Stone and the exact location of the dragon veins. I believe that the Emperor should know where they are."
"If you're asking about the Heavenly Imperial Palace's dragon fountain, then I know about it. But, I really haven't heard about this Vermillion Bird Stone. Perhaps the Imperial Advisor will know. "
Feng Liancheng frowned. He didn't expect that he still couldn't figure out the location of the Vermillion Bird Stone this time around. It seemed that he could only go to Tianqiong Mountain and ask the Imperial Advisor about it. However, in the current situation, recovering the dragon fountain was more important. If they let the dragon vein continue to break, then the Heavenly Imperial Kingdom would be in even greater trouble.
"Your majesty, why don't you first return to the palace to settle some matters? Miss and I will first go look for the dragon fountain."
Nangong Ao naturally was not worried about Jin Xiaoyi and Feng Liancheng, but, dragon veins were the foundation of the Heavenly Imperial Palace after all. Thus, not everyone could enter the Dragon Vein's location.
The dragon fountain is the foundation of the Heaven's Enlightenment Empire, and the mechanisms within are very complicated. Alright, I will return to the palace to settle the matters here, and you all can follow me back to the palace to wait for me to settle the country's affairs.
After all, this wasn't a small matter. It was worth considering over the long term. Jin Xiaoye didn't want to enter the palace. But what Nangong Ao said was very clear, the dragon vein was related to the fate of the entire Heavenly Imperial Palace, it was definitely not child's play.
"Miss, let's accompany the Emperor back to the palace."
Feng Liancheng actually agreed. Jin Xiaoyi was curious, but it was not the time to ask Feng Liancheng, so she did not say anything. But he nodded.
"Okay, Nangong Ao, you can leave now. I'm going for my afternoon nap." "Even you should leave the city."
NanGong Ao didn't like Jin Xiaoyi's cold tone. However, he knew in his heart that it would not be easy for this little woman to accept him. Now, he had to make some preparations. Although they couldn't immediately go to Sky Mountain to look for the Imperial Advisor, he could first send a letter to the Imperial Advisor using the 800 mile cavalry. Have the Imperial Advisor come down the mountain.
This time, it was important. He absolutely could not act rashly.
Before they made any preparations, they absolutely could not enter the place where the dragon fountain was located.
He had never been there before, but he had heard from his ancestors that there were overlapping mechanisms that only true dragon and heavenly sons could enter. Therefore, he had to go personally to find the dragon fountain.
Of course, the first to bear the brunt of the pressure was still to return to the palace. It was true that he had not returned to the palace for some time. It was more important to deal with the matters in the palace first.
When Nangong Ao went out, Jin Xialove left Feng Liancheng behind. She had a lot of things to ask Feng Liancheng.
"Lian Cheng, do you have a lot of things you didn't tell me? Didn't you already know that Jade Asura was the Emperor? "
Jin Xiaoyi's voice was clearly filled with anger.
Feng Liancheng did not try to defend himself. Indeed, he had known it from the start. However, he had always said that he could not tell Jin Xiao Ai directly.
"Miss, I've said it before, the only person you can rely on in the past is yourself."
"You …"
He seemed to have grasped her weakness.
"Alright, then I won't bother about this matter anymore. Anyway, I now know that the person from back then was him. However, why did you decide to go to the palace in private? "
Jin Xiaoyi's anger did not decrease.
"Miss, the reason I let you enter the palace is because of the Vermillion Bird Stone. As you have heard, the Emperor himself does not know the location of the Vermillion Bird Stone. However, I know that the Vermillion Bird Stone is a place where the dragon aura gathers. Aside from the dragon fountain, the Imperial Palace is also a place where the dragon aura gathers. Therefore, if we search around the palace, we might be able to find the Vermillion Bird Stone. If he brought the Vermillion Bird Stone to the dragon fountain. We do things with half the effort. "
No matter what, it was because Feng Liancheng was right and Jin Xiaoyi was helpless. Well, she was on a pirate ship. She could only follow Nangong Ao and enter the palace.
It was also a good way to verify if what the man said was true. Was there really only a few male pets that were used as decorations in the palace?
The afternoon sun was a bit blinding, and it was getting closer and closer to summer.
After packing up, Jin Xiaoye went to find Ah Bao.
"Little girl, we need to go to a place to stay for a while. Quickly, pack up your clothes."
The little girl blinked her eyes excitedly and said, "Where are you going? "Ting!"
"You'll know when you get there. It's a very, very big place. "
The little girl was even more interested. What was this place?
