Chapter 396: Take Ruoxue

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Roar! Roar!
There was this enormous beast that flew above the sky of Summer Rain City. That giant beast had reddish-yellow skin as though there was magma flowing on the surface of its body. The horn on the head and the tail were like two lumps of active flames. Its body had the presence of a mountain. It roared a few times above the city, frightening countless individuals below and causing some of them to prostrate on the ground due to the pressure.
“What are you roaring about? You have frightened so many children! Will you die if you stop acting mighty for a moment?”
Jiang Yi slammed his palm hard on the head of the demon king. His palm force was strong, and it shook the head of the Yazi Beast. When Jiang Yi saw the Yazi Beast turning around with rage, he glared and snorted, “If you are really capable, then go kill the Divine Martial Kingdom’s old eunuch and the Azure Dragon Empire’s old ancestor for me. The Great Xia Kingdom is my territory; don’t you try to show your prowess here. Otherwise, I will slap you every time I see you.”
The Yazi Beast blinked its eyes speechlessly and lowered its head. It might have some certainty to kill Eunuch Lin, but it would only be tormented by that Azure Dragon Empire’s old ancestor. Furthermore, if it dared to behave recklessly, it would suffer a unified attack from the human. It would have died for no reason.
“Stay by the mountains on the east by yourself. Don’t do anything reckless, and you are not to hurt anyone. Remember it!” Jiang Yi waved his hand while his body flashed with white light as he instant-shifted to the plaza below.
The entire city was alarmed by the Yazi Beast, and it was their first time seeing one, too. Everyone was terror-stricken by the sight of it, but when they clearly saw that Jiang Yi was on top of the Yazi Beast, they were all excited. Jiang Yi had always bought a surprise every time, which made the citizens of the Summer Rain City felt even more at ease. With Jiang Yi around, who could extinguish the Great Xia Kingdom?
“Greetings to Lord Regent!”
Seeing Jiang Yi suddenly appearing on the plaza, there was a wave of astonishment as everyone knelt on the ground and yelled out, revering him to the extreme.
“Everyone, get up. In the future, you just have to greet me. There is no need to kneel and for all the etiquette!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand while the Green Clear Vase appeared after the Fire Spirit Pearl lit up. Subsequently, there was a flash of green light before He Lao, Jiang Xiaonu, and the little fox appeared in the plaza. It flabbergasted everyone as they felt that it was miraculous.
Jiang Yi led them and walked towards the royal palace. The little fox leaped onto Jiang Yi’s shoulder and looked around with curiosity. As Jiang Yi was walking, he smiled and spoke to the little fox, “Xiao Fei, if you want to play, you can get He Lao and Xiaonu to bring you for a spin in the city later on. With the Yazi Beast and your two demon kings guarding the city, the inside of the Summer Rain City is very safe. You are not allowed to exit the city, okay?”
“Ji-Ji!”
The little fox was delighted from this news while Xiaonu’s eyes smiled into a crescent. Previously, they had been shut within the royal palace. Without Jiang Yi’s permission, they didn’t dare to run around recklessly. Now that they could go around freely, they were naturally elated.
“Greetings to Lord Regent!”
As Jiang Yi walked inside the royal palace, the royal guards on duty all kneel down and greet him. Jiang Yi frowned and informed He Lao, “He Lao, go and inform Old General Lu later on that no one has to kneel when they see me in the future.”
“Alright!”
He Lao nodded while his aged face was filled with a smile. In the past, he might have an important status in the Zhan Clan; but he didn’t have any authority in the Divine Martial Kingdom. It seemed like it was very different in the Great Xia Kingdom. The entire Great Xia Kingdom seemed to belong to Jiang Yi, and he was Jiang Yi’s no.1 subordinate. It seemed like he was just serving two individuals while everyone else had to listen to his orders.
Jiang Yi went straight for Drifting Snow Palace. Su Ruoxue already led a group of palace maids and eunuchs to welcome him on the outside. She was wearing a pink long dress while donning gold, silver, and jade accessories. She looked even more lovable than a flower, and she was giving a smile that solely belonged to Jiang Yi, making him intoxicated just by seeing the smile.
He walked quickly and pulled Su Ruoxue’s hand to walk inside. The latter shook her head and gestured for Xiaonu to come over, “Xiaonu, come over!”
Jiang Xiaonu was startled. She had always treated herself as a servant girl, how would she dare to walk beside the two of them? Jiang Yi gave a faint smile and gestured for Jiang Xiaonu to come over as he pulled a woman with each hand and walked in.
“Eh?”
After entering the Drifting Snow Palace, Su Ruoxue looked closely at Jiang Xiaonu and revealed this trace of surprise in her beautiful eyes as she spoke, “Xiaonu, I haven’t seen you in two months, and you looked like you possess a kind of special presence. You look so much prettier now; even Sister is tempted by you.”
“How can it be? Lady Ruoxue is just teasing me.” Jiang Xiaonu’s charming face blushed as she lowered it shyly.
“Don’t call me Lady; call me Sister!”
Su Ruoxue held Jiang Xiaonu’s hand and passionately smoothened her hair. She smiled and said, “You are interdependent with Jiang Lang since a young age. The two of you are close like siblings, which means you are also my little sister, the Princess of the Great Xia Kingdom. Don’t regard yourself as an outsider, understand?”
“Ke-Ke!”
Jiang Yi liked how Su Ruoxue was sweet-tempered and virtuous. He asked Xiaonu to bring the little fox to play while he summoned the chief eunuch of the internal affairs of the royal palace. He informed them that He Lao was under him and to give him a temporary position as the royal military’s general. In the future, He Lao’s instruction would represent his will, which would give He Lao much more convenience.
He Lao didn’t thank the favor as he was clear that it wasn’t important even if he became a Great General Lord or the no.1 official in the Great Xia Kingdom’s army. He merely wanted to continue following Jiang Yi. He believed that… as long as he could follow Jiang Yi, he would obtain much more.
After He Lao took his leave, Jiang Yi began to tell Su Ruoxue about everything that happened along the journey. She was appalled when she was listening, and she got even incomparably shocked when she knew that Jiang Xiaonu was of the Ink Feather Race. After she knew that Yi Piaopiao didn’t pass away, she was sincerely happy for Jiang Yi, too.
Jiang Yi said everything there was—except that Zhuge Qingyun, the Demon Empress, and Shui Youlan all firmly warned him not to refine the celestial stones in huge quantity. He didn’t say it because he didn’t want Su Ruoxue to be concerned and worried.
“Stone Talisman Water? Our kingdom’s vault doesn’t have such things…?”
After Su Ruoxue knew about the information about excavating the divine veins, her shapely brows knitted together. She stood up and asked the Grand Chief Eunuch Cao of the internal affairs to immediately go check the kingdom’s vault. One hour later, they reported back, saying that the Great Xia Kingdom didn’t have any Stone Talisman Water.
“Eunuch Cao, ask someone to send a message to Qian Wanguan. Regular people might not be able to find this thing, but that brat will surely be able to help me find it.”
Jiang Yi waved his hand, indicating for Su Ruoxue not to worry. There was no doubt about Fatty Qian’s capability. Instead of giving himself a headache, why not let Fatty Qian go have a headache about it?
Su Ruoxue didn’t bother anymore and started to tell Jiang Yi about Great Xia Kingdom’s matters, about how she yearned for him. The two of them behaved intimately for an entire afternoon in the palace hall before they went go look for Jiang Xiaonu and the little fox for a meal.
When they were having a meal, Su Ruoxue could feel that Jiang Xiaonu had this weird expression when she looked at Jiang Yi. She didn’t point it out bluntly, but after returning to the Drifting Snow Palace, she suddenly proposed to Jiang Yi, “Jiang Lang, I think you better take Xiaonu as your woman. I can feel her affection and fondness towards you. She might even love you more than me. If you aren’t going to take her, I’m afraid Little Sister is going to be alone until she dies.”
How could Jiang Yi not feel it, too?
However, he didn’t want to think of this matter right now. He didn’t even know what was going to happen in the future. He shook his head and said, “Let’s not talk about this. I will go to the Divine Vein after resting for two days. One month later, I need to set off for the Witch God forbidden ground. Ruoxue, I’m sorry… I have to leave you and let you suffer again. After I return, we will conduct our wedding immediately!”
“It’s not suffering. Jiang Lang suffered even more!”
Su Ruoxue extended her arm to caress Jiang Yi’s face. Seeing that he was about to say something, she suddenly tiptoed and stuck her lips onto his.
‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ To these man and woman passionately in love, there was a quick elevation of events as they were both extremely affectionate. They had nearly crossed the line and immediately wanted to make love to each other.
They kissed so much that their breaths were nearly severed before they stopped. Su Ruoxue’s body was burning like flames, and her face was flushed red. Her face was filled with charm and affection. When she saw how Jiang Yi was panting, she tried her best to restrain the flames in her heart. She bit her lips and whispered, “Jiang Lang, take Ruoxue. It is too hard… for you to hold back!”
