The Night Emperor had a bellyful of words, but he didn't say them out loud to Shui Yuehan. Although the two of them were working together, he still didn't want this woman to worry. After all, it was caused by him.
When night fell, the Night Emperor gazed at the tranquil waters. After confirming that she had fallen asleep, he slowly walked out.
However, what he did not know was that when his front foot went out, the water in his rear foot slowly woke up. He quickly put on his clothes and followed her out.
For the first time, Shui Ruo felt glad that he was a secret service agent and had excellent tracking skills. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep up with Ye Xiu's speed.
The Night Emperor's speed was extremely fast. Roughly half an hour behind him, he stopped at a very quiet place. The entire area was surrounded by a lake, and there was a house by the lake. The lights in the house. The water held its breath as it looked around, unable to understand what was happening. Why would the Night Emperor go to such a secluded place without sleeping at night?
However, Shui Ruo didn't have much time to ponder over it, as Night Emperor's actions gave her an answer.
Just as Shui Ruo was getting impatient, he saw a black clothed man appear and kneel before the Night Emperor.
The Night Emperor looked at the man in black, his tone as cold as when he had first seen him. "How is the investigation going?"
"Your Highness, you are right. The Crown Prince has taken over all the troops from the west." The man's respectful voice sounded, and Night Emperor Xiu frowned: "As expected? Take the chance when I m injured to report to royal father. "
"Your Highness, please forgive this subordinate for speaking bluntly. You should return to the Duke's Mansion immediately and report your safety to the Emperor, not to the Shui family. It's too dangerous if this goes on." If the emperor knew about this first, then you'd really be in a passive position, and might even implicate this family. "
The man's voice was respectful as he spoke every word from the bottom of his heart. Hearing that, the Night Emperor Xiu was silent for a moment before saying, "I know. I will do it as soon as possible." As for the evidence of the Crown Prince's conspiracy, you should investigate it as soon as possible. It was best to wait until he had completely taken over the western army. Once he's completely taken over, it's impossible to investigate him. "
"Yes, Your Highness." The black clothed man replied respectfully and left under the directions of the Night Emperor. As for the Night Emperor, after he left, he said, "Come out and follow me."
In the dark, Shui Ruo never thought that Night Emperor would know he was following him, but he wasn't too surprised. If he couldn't even discover this kind of tracking, then he would be killed sooner or later. Firstly, she didn't follow him very seriously, and secondly, she didn't have the skills in this world.
Assassins in this world were far more powerful than her.
Water slowly walked out from the shadows as he thought about this. Looking at the Night Emperor Xiu, his face broke into a pure smile, as if he was talking about the good weather. He greeted, "Ah, the scenery here is not bad."
When the Night Emperor heard this, he did not express anything and only nodded his head.
Shui Ruo walked up to his side and saw that he was embracing her without any warning. "Did you hear what you said just now?"
"You're leaving?"
Shui Sheng looked at Night Emperor Xiu unhurriedly and asked confidently. Hearing this, Emperor Ye Xiu nodded his head without denying anything. "If this goes on, it will be too dangerous. I cannot let you be in danger with me, so leaving is the best choice."
"I know." Shui nodded his head to show that he understood. As the Night Emperor looked at Shui Long, he didn't know what to say. The fact that she said that the one she wanted to stay was him, and the fact that she said that she wanted to leave, must have caused her quite a bit of trouble, no?
"Sorry." After a moment of hesitation, the Night Emperor rarely gave in to others, and this was the first time he said such words to anyone. Looking at the water, she seemed to have used up all of her gentleness.
The Night Emperor wasn't someone who knew how to coax people. He wasn't as glib and shrewd as the Second Prince, who was also unlike him. He didn't look as adorable, making others involuntarily want to forgive him. This person's face was always cold. When facing outsiders, he seemed so distant. Although he tried his best to be gentle when facing water, those awkward feelings still existed.
Shui Long laughed at the clumsy apology from Night Emperor Xiu. He looked at him in amusement and said in a soft voice, "Idiot, who asked you to apologize?"
"Hmm? If he didn't apologize, then … "What do we do?" The Night Emperor looked at Shui Ruo with a puzzled expression. However, the next second, Shui Yuehan made his move and told him everything.
Shui You's heart moved when he saw the man's confused expression. He wrapped his arms around the man's neck and pulled him down. At the right angle, he fiercely kissed the man's lips.
Emperor Ye would never have thought that Shui Ruo would be so bold as to kiss him. His lips were intertwined, and the girl's tongue mischievously wanted to jump into his mouth. The probing force made him feel a shred of lust that he shouldn't have. He was almost tempted to hug Shui Ruo, and then kiss her back. Night Emperor Xiu had never touched a woman before. To him, a woman was just like a nuisance. He couldn't say when, but he would be unprepared and then betrayed.
It was an accident. Emperor Ye Xiu had never thought that he would be able to survive under such circumstances. He also had never thought that he would meet such a peculiar woman. He had never thought that she would be so bold.
There would never be a second woman in this world who would ask a stranger to be her husband, right? The woman's mouth was very soft and sweet, as if it could melt at any time, making him unwilling to part with her. Lightly hugging her, he indulged himself in kissing the water. If someone were to see his appearance, that person would definitely be shocked. Was he really the Night Emperor cultivator? Was it really the Cold-faced Prince?
This clumsy guy who didn't want to hurt his sweetheart was no different from a fledgling.
This gentle yet not fiery kiss continued all the way until Shui Jiuyin found it difficult to breathe, only then did it stop. It was caused by the water and also ended by the water. Looking at the woman who was struggling to breathe, a trace of dejection appeared in the Night Emperor's eyes. However, this sadness, when looking at the water, made it hard to understand what it meant.
"No matter where you are, our agreement has not changed. As long as you continue to help me, I will definitely not break it." Shui said as he leisurely looked at the Night Emperor.
He didn't expect that Shui Long, who didn't want to cooperate with him before, would say such a thing. He was slightly surprised. Surprised, he asked, "Why?"
"I don't think I can find a better partner than you? I just feel safe looking at you. " No matter what, it won't hurt me. Shui Long did not say the latter part of the sentence. For some reason, she always felt a sense of belonging to the Night Emperor. Although they had only known each other for a short period of time, they liked each other.
This feeling had never existed before in his life. In her previous life, she was just a bunch of old props. Although she occasionally met a man, that was just a scam. Whoever was moved by her heart would lose. In her world, there was no belief, nor was there any so-called love. The only thing she had was a determination to be able to see her loved ones and protect them.
It was because of this that she chose to fight those old bastards to suffer injuries and die after finding out about the news of the deaths of her loved ones? She did not regret it. However, being able to survive again made her even happier.
From all aspects, she envied the water in this world. There was a father who doted on her, and a loyal servant girl. Although she was very unlucky because of some people's scheme and suffered a lot of pain, she was still happy. Thus, when she was reborn, her greatest wish was to protect everything.
No one was qualified to take anything from her.
It was an accident to meet this man, but she didn't hate it. Compared to Night Emperor Shang, the Night Emperor's cultivation made her feel safe and dependable. If he had such a companion in his life, perhaps his life would be perfect?
Shui Ruo didn't know if this was what she liked, but her instincts told her that she could trust this person. Her heart was telling her that she should be with this person. Even if there was something in front of her, she still didn't know what it was.
The Night Emperor didn't know what Shui Ruo's thoughts were, but he was very happy with Shui Ruo's words. It wasn't a bad thing to make a woman feel safe. Especially for a woman like her who had no sense of security.
The first time he saw her, although she was very calm, her beautiful eyes hid her distrust towards everyone else. He had seen this kind of gaze many times before, but she was the first one to make his heart ache. That was why they made such an unbelievable decision. Agree to marry her.
If his father were to find out about the matter of him marrying into the family, he would definitely be punished. The Shui family would also be dragged into it, wouldn't they? However, he still couldn't help it. He didn't want to see her disappointed.
Now, this woman that he could change his mind was telling him that he was someone that he could cooperate with. What could be happier than this?
A trace of gentleness flashed across Night Emperor's eyes as he looked at the water. Holding onto the water, he said, "Let's go home."
Deep in the night, Shui Long and Night Emperor shared a bed and slept together, but they did not cross the line. Looking at the side of the man's face, Shui Ruo was in a daze. This person didn't seem to mention that he wanted to be with her after their wedding night.
Should I say that he kept his promise, or should I say … Was this guy very inflexible? Shui unhurriedly blinked a few times, then quietly kissed him on the cheek before slowly falling asleep.
However, Shui Ruo did not expect that after she fell asleep, the person who should have been asleep had already opened her eyes. His slender phoenix eyes flickered with a bright light.
It wasn't just a method of chasing after the prey. Occasionally, the prey would try to capture it, but it would have an even better effect. The prey would slowly fall into its own trap and grab onto her, preventing her from breaking free again.
