By wei-shi (1-3pm), when they were around twenty meters away from Feng Chengâs gateway, four big carriages, each drawn by four horses, slowed down. Eventually, they stopped in front of a tea house.
Two youthful looking females walked out of the tea house before carefully climbing into one of the carriages. Once boarded, the delegation continued to run toward the cityâs gateway.
Situ Yun agilely jumped off the carriage and showed Wangye Jingâs pass token to a soldier guarding the gate. Then, in the admiring eyes of the soldiers, he put the token away and hopped on the carriage. Four big horse carriage slowly moved away from Feng Cheng, following the main road down towards the South.
âShiiiâ!â After fifteen minutes, the carriages slowed down.
âGuye, someone is blocking us.â The driver of the first carriage reported to Lin Si Yao, who was sitting in the carriage.
Lin Si Yao put Lin Long who was playing in his embrace on the soft bed in the carriage. He shot Su Shuilian a comforting look before lifting the curtain and getting out of the carriage.
Around one hundred meters away, was a group of five people. They stood side by side, which was enough to block the whole road.
The man standing in the middle was the Blood Unionâs Emperor â Xue Li, who had told him a lot of strange words in the imperial palace. Seeing them, Lin Si Yao narrowed his eyes. A second later, he glided from the carriage to stand in front of the other five.
âWhy do you stand in our way?â The cold, soft voice reached the fiveâs ears.
âLi!â Xue Li hadnât opened his mouth when the beautiful, luxurious-dressing woman cried out to him. She was so touched when she saw Lin Si Yao, tears lingering in her eyes.
âIs that him? Right, is that him?â The woman hurried to ask Xue Li to confirm. Her eyes studied Lin Si Yao as if she was afraid that as long as she moved her eyes away, the young man would disappear.
The other three included two young guards, one male and one female, and a bearded General, Lu Qing, who often appeared in attendance for the Blood Union. As soon as they heard the womanâs question, they all turned to look at Lin Si Yao, their eyes filled with yearning and hope.\n
Xue Li looked at Lin Si Yao for a while before smiling. âWe meet again!â
âIf there is nothing else, please give way.â Lin Si Yao frowned lightly. He turned and glanced at the four horse carriages behind him, estimating whether he and Situ Yun could protect the four carriages in case they had to fight against the others.
â (Senior) Uncle!â Situ Yun flew to Lin Si Yao. âAre they here because of us?â
âYes!â Xue Li was standing opposite to them. Hearing Situ Yunâs question, he answered, raising his brows.
âEveryone, we donât have any grudges. Why do you stand in our way?â Situ Yun raised his voice. He wasnât afraid of fighting. However, there were vulnerable women in the carriages and kids they had to protect. Thatâs why he wasnât interested in fighting with the others. Moreover, they werenât common people. From this situation, that bearded man could be the infamous General Lu Qing. And eighty percent that he was here to protect the members of Blood Unionâs royal family. If they actually got engaged in a battle, it would turn to be a political matter between the two countries.
âYoung man, we just want to talk to your Uncle for a while. We didnât have any other purpose.â Xue Li smiled, assuring Situ Yun who was acting like a hen protecting its chicks.
âIf you have any matter, just say it right here! Why are you beating around the bush like that?!â Situ Yun rolled his eyes at the sky. He hated this sort of man, who speaks in one manner but acts completely different, the most.
âHaha! Iâm afraid that if I tell you here, you will be so stunned you wouldnât even be able to close your mouth.â Xue Li wasnât irritated when he heard Situ Yunâs provoking words. He smiled until his eyes narrowed.
âWhat surprise? Do you have some earth-shaking secret you want to reveal? Itâs okay, you can tell me now!â Situ Yun exaggeratingly picked his ear, flicking his finger at Xue Liâs team.
He would never believe that the others had some earth-shaking secret to tell his Uncle! If there were anything related to his low-key Uncle, there would be only the deaths of the twelve Blood Knights. If so, he wouldnât let Uncle go with them. Although his Uncle got profound skills, no one knew if those people would plot something dirty.
âDo you really want to talk here?â This time Xue Li didnât mind Situ Yun anymore. He turned to look at Lin Si Yao who didnât look at him as he was sinking in his thoughts. âAlrightâŚâ Xue Li paused as if he was about to say something.
âEvidence.â Lin Si Yao suddenly lifted his head, looking at the other in the eyes. âDo you have any evidence for things you are about to say?â\nSince Xue Li had called him to talk in the side hall in the middle of the feast in the imperial palace and forced him to listen to some fantasy-like story, he could guess what Xue Li was about to tell him. Thus, he turned around and walked away, denying listening further. It wasnât that he didnât care whose son he was or the fact that he had a complicated origin. He just needed a reason to persuade himself, to make him believe, and less unwilling to accept that he was abandoned since he was just a baby. For what reason to be abandoned by his family, tossed aside due to unforecasted causes and that it was against their will.
âOf course, yes. If you donât believe me, you can follow me back to Blood Union.â Xue Li nodded carefully. As long as he was willing to listen, everything would be easy to solve.
âNo need. Iâm in a hurry to go home.â Lin Si Yao denied faintly. âThen, see you in Yue Kui Town!â Just find an inn for the night, and listen to his explanation to see how difficult and immeasurable it is. Let see if it was worth his acceptance or not. After twenty-five years being an orphan, it was really stunning when his parents, a pair of excellent Emperor and Empress, came and talked to him. Although he was the cold, merciless God of Slaughter, when he knew this, he just wanted to run away and hide. He didnât want to confront them.
âAlright,â Xue Li heard that. He solemnly looked at Lin Si Yao as he nodded slowly. He replied, âYue Kui Town, I wonât leave until I see you.â
â
âUncle!â
The five standing in their way swiftly disappeared into the small woods by the road. They were taking a short-cut to Xue Kui Town.
Situ Yun turned around, looking at Lin Si Yao worriedly.
âItâs okay. Weâll talk after we reach Yue Kui Town.â Lin Si Yao turned around, returning to his carriage. He pulled the curtain, hoping in.
Situ Yun shook his head begrudgingly and walked back into his carriage. His Uncle was the biggest here. If he said okay, then it should be ok.
âLetâs go!â Situ Yun announced loudly. The four horse carriages continued to move to the South. Â
âWhat? What happened?â As soon as Lin Si Yao got into the carriage, Su Shuilian pulled his hand, patting and asking worriedly. Her furrowed brows showed how anxious she was.
âItâs nothing.â Lin Si Yao felt happy when he saw her unconsciously comforting him. He turned his hand and pulled her into his embrace. âNothing.â Even if what they told him were true, there wouldnât be any problems. ButâŚ\n\nâAs long as youâre happy!â Lin Si Yao looked at her, pampering. He stooped and sucked her rosy, soft lips. A deep kiss was enough to make her breathless and faint.
âHow about you? You havenât told me yet.â She insisted to know what he had in his heart and if he had lived happily for those two years.
âYou already know.â He gently bit her chin. He had never been a man who would bear losses. Only she could arise his love and pamper from deep within his heart.
âA YaoâŚâ She hugged his neck, calling his name. It seemed she wasnât satisfied with his vague answer.
âMmm?â He seized the chance and slipped his hands into her dress. Her peaks had become rounder and plumper after childbirth.
âDonâtâŚâ Until his cool lips stuck on her warm fullness, did she remember they were in a horse carriage and their precious twins were fast asleep on the soft bed next to them.
âNo one would know.â He whispered. Desire surged in his chest, urging him to take her.
âButâŚâ This was too unruly! She thought groggily. However her denial, her struggling had become soft and tender moaning in his ears.
âBut what?â He knew but still asked. Then, his other free hand pushed her thick woven skirt down, crawling to her flower that had become warmer and wetter. He smiled, looking at her. Already so wet, yet still protesting?
Instantly, he got rid of his own clothes, pulling her up to let her sit on his thighs and helping her to straddle his waist. He straightened his body. They both exhaled, he was now fully in her.
âA YaoâŚâ The running carriage brought an intense shaking she had never experienced before. She couldnât help but whimper.
âHold tightlyâŚâ The tip of his tongue licked her sensitive ear. As he was attacking her with a stronger wave after another, he savored all of her sensual moaningâŚ
