“Lin Hai, I will crush you to pieces!” Long Junhao gritted his teeth.
“Let’s go. Bring all the Dark Hall brothers to Dragon Horse Mountain. Long Yun, take my token and ask the city lord to mobilize troops. I want to eliminate all the bandits on Dragon Horse Mountain,” he instructed, handing the token to Long Yun before leading the Dark Hall members forth, his heart burning with anxiety. He knew Lin Hai well—a notorious playboy who had ruined many young women.
Previously, due to Lin Long and the Prime Minister, he was unable to take action against Lin Hai. Now, he vowed that Lin Hai would not die peacefully. He trembled at the thought of Lan Lan; would this wolf show her mercy? If he dared harm her, Long Junhao would make his death painful. His killing intent caused his subordinates to shiver.
Looking at the scar from his eyebrow to his cheek, although he was no longer as handsome, it was a mark of their time together, something that could never be erased. She gently touched it, her heart squeezed as if by someone, her eyes welling with tears as she hugged Ling Feng and cried loudly.
“Ling Feng, you poor thing, who could be so cruel?”
Lan Lan’s reaction stunned Ling Feng; she didn’t despise him. A joyful surprise warmed his heart, and the gloom that had weighed on him for years finally began to lift.
“Lan’er, I’m so happy that you don’t despise me,” he said with a gratified smile.
“You fool, wasting time for this reason, you deserve a beating! Why didn’t you wait to confirm with me first?” Lan Lan lightly punched his chest.
“You don’t know how afraid I was of seeing disgust on your face. I was afraid I couldn’t bear it, so I chose to avoid it.”
I’m sorry for making you suffer,” he held her tightly, the feeling of regaining her bringing him indescribable happiness.
“Ling Feng—” Lan Lan embraced the man who made her happy, determined never to let him leave again.
Dragon Horse Mountain.
Long Junhao led the Dark Hall’s people while Long Yun brought three thousand troops from the city lord to surround Dragon Horse Mountain, killing all bandits without mercy and reaching the deepest part of the bandits’ nest.
Long Junhao’s face filled with dark murderous intent as he looked at Lin Hai sprawled on the ground.
“Go pour water to wake him up!” Someone brought a bucket and splashed water on Lin Hai.
Lin Hai opened his eyes, dazed and confused about his surroundings. Upon seeing the fierce faces above him, he turned pale.
“Tell me! Where is the Princess?” Long Lei demanded.
“The Princess, hehe, Royal Prince, your luck with beauties is truly deep! Just one encounter left me reminiscing!” he shamelessly rambled, determined not to let this couple escape even if he were to die.
“Shut up!” Long Lei slapped him with the sword.
“Let’s see how useful you are. Long Lei, take action!” Long Junhao commanded.
With a scream, Lin Hai’s lower body was destroyed, removing the seed that harmed others.
Long Lei sealed his acupoints to stop the bleeding.
“Anything else to say?” Long Junhao coldly asked, looking at the man lying on the ground. Seeing no response, he turned to Long Lei, “It’s up to you. Find him a better destination.”
“Master, we’ve searched everywhere but can’t find the Princess. Could she have already escaped?” Long Yun cautiously guessed.
“Possibly. Search the mountain again,” Long Junhao replied, his frustration mounting as several hours passed with no results.
Just then, Fu Xinan entered.
He knelt and said, “Master, the Princess has returned to the post station. I’m here to invite you back!”
“Really? How did she return?” Long Junhao asked, his spirits lifting, then wondered if someone had rescued her.
“She returned with a young gentleman. His face was covered, so I couldn’t see who he was. But from the Princess’s demeanor, she seems to know him,” Fu Xinan said with his head lowered.
“Good, we’ll return immediately. Long Yun, recall all troops!” Long Junhao ordered and rushed back to the post station with Fu Xinan.
As he entered, he heard Long Zhen and Long Xin calling “Daddy!” His heart sank, realizing it was he who had rescued Lan’er. It seemed his great-grandfather was right; he would always be around them.
He organized his thoughts and stepped inside.
“Junhao, you’re back! Come, let me introduce you. This is Ling Feng!”
Long Junhao shook his hand, noting the unexpected presence in their marital life. Though scarred, his handsomeness added a tragic beauty, radiating an aura that drew people closer. No wonder Lan’er loved him.
As Long Junhao studied him, Ling Feng also took a moment to observe. This was the rumored cold and ruthless Royal Prince, exuding a royal aura, intimidating without anger, and showing tenderness only for Lan Lan. They shook hands firmly, recognizing mutual appreciation and understanding.
Three years later, a carriage arrived at the Royal Prince’s mansion. Lan Lan and Long Junhao prepared to board when Long Zhen and Long Xin rushed out.
Long Junhao sighed, glancing at Lan Lan, “Shall we bring them?”
“Remember, no mischief!” Lan Lan warned. These two kids were clever, always full of schemes that turned the mansion upside down.
Ling Feng managed his business in their previous home in TianAN City. Lan Lan visited for a month every two months, and he eagerly awaited her arrival. He was content; after all, she was still nominally a Princess and had to maintain appearances. Occasional time together was enough.
He felt heaven had been very kind to him and was in awe of Long Junhao’s generosity in bringing them together.
Hearing the cheerful laughter outside, he quickly opened the door to welcome them in. “Chen Sao, please call someone to prepare hot water; the Wang Ye and his group have arrived.” Chen Sao had requested to come here herself, feeling uncomfortable in the Wang Fu and wanting the responsibility of managing the household.
In the evening, Ling Feng held Lan Lan in his arms. “Feng, I have good news to tell you, I’m pregnant—” she said shyly.
“Pregnant, really? That’s wonderful; we’ll have three children then,” Ling Feng said happily, considering Long Zhen and Long Xin as his own.
“Based on the timing, this should be yours,” Lan Lan told him.
“Really? Actually, no matter whose it is, as long as it’s yours, I’ll love it,” Ling Feng said, gently stroking her back and kissing her.
“But I want to bear a child for you! That would be fair, right?” she smiled at him.
“Lan’er, you’re so good!” Ling Feng was moved and kissed her.
“Also, Hao said that after a few years, when Father Emperor retires and he also retreats, he’ll find a place to live with us, and we can all be together,” Lan Lan added.
“Really?”
But he has done so much for us, I truly don’t know how to thank him,” Ling Feng was deeply touched by Long Junhao’s generosity.
“Fool, don’t you want this? In the future, we can sleep together, okay?” Lan Lan gave a cunning smile, wondering what it would be like for the three of them to sleep together, something she was looking forward to.
“My queen, we’ll listen to you. Whatever you say goes, okay?” Ling Feng gently tweaked her nose, doting on her.
Their sweet talk seemed endless, lasting until midnight.
Hehe— Lan Lan laughed in her beautiful dream, continuously drooling.
(The End)
