It seemed that in order to dispel Mo Yan's misgivings, Zhao Shuning took another step forward. Her body got even closer to Mo Yan's. The fragrance of the woman instantly wafted under Mo Yan's nose.
Zhao Shuning slowly placed her hands on Mo Yan's waist. In an instant, Mo Yan felt that her body couldn't move. Her whole body trembled as if struck by an electric current from the sky.
She had never hugged herself before, never in such a posture. Could it be that Yan'er had really figured it out?
Mo Yan lowered her head with difficulty. The woman buried her head in Mo Yan's chest at just the right moment. It was really her. She wasn't dreaming.
God, you are really kind to me, Mo Yan. You gave me the power of the Millennium Stone Soul, and now the woman I've been longing for is in my arms.
In the Nine - States Continent, I will have both the country and the beauty.
Yan Ruyu, no matter how great you are as a millennium imperial teacher, no matter how noble you are as the Emperor, no matter how people in the Nine - States Continent call you the founding ancestor, but now?
The woman you love is in my arms. All the things you possess will, in the future, become mine.
"Yan'er, you are really the best treasure God has bestowed upon me," Mo Yan said. "More than five hundred years ago, your appearance helped me greatly deflate Yan Ruyu's arrogance and made him fall into a slump. His spiritual power declined a lot. When you were Ye Ling, you deepened Yan Ruyu's feelings for you, making him deeply infatuated. In this life, although your appearance led to the destruction of my son, it was also because of your appearance and disappearance that Yan Ruyu gave you the sub - fire of his natal lotus and turned white - haired overnight. Yan'er, you are truly my treasure."
Zhao Shuning felt nauseous and extremely uncomfortable.
Yes, she always thought that her appearance had brought a lot of happiness to Bu Ran. Bu Ran always told her so. But in fact?
Most of Bu Ran's misfortunes were brought about by her. Every time she appeared, besides bringing fetters, danger, and spiritual blows to him, what else had she done for him?
Although none of these things happened out of her own will, they did happen.
In her heart, she felt extremely guilty.
Luo Qiu was not far away, unable to move a single bit.
Zhao Shuning spoke again, "Then Yan'er begs Lord Mo Yan for one thing. Please spare Luo Qiu, okay?"
Mo Yan looked at Luo Qiu in the dim corner. "Why is she so quiet?" This wasn't like Luo Qiu's style. Seeing the woman she loved so humbly pleasing others, she should have exploded in a minute. Her possessiveness towards Yan'er was no less than his own.
Zhao Shuning quickly said, "You know that girl Luo Qiu's temper. She gets angry at the slightest provocation. I was afraid she would mess things up and couldn't control her emotions, so I sealed her internal energy and made her unable to move. Lord Mo Yan, could you please spare Xiao Qiu?"
"Since you've pleaded with me, as long as this girl knows her place and behaves herself, I won't make things too difficult for her."
Zhao Shuning's smile faded.
Mo Yan lifted Zhao Shuning's face and looked at her. "My Yan'er, why did you suddenly figure it out? Weren't you deeply infatuated with Yan Ruyu?"
"I said before that I was fond of Yan Ruyu only because he had a good - looking face. Moreover, he was the Emperor. Following him, I could get everything I wanted. But you should also know his character, Lord Mo Yan. He is neither cold nor warm, always leaving me aside. All I fancied was his appearance and power. But now, Lord Mo Yan, you can give me all these, can't you?"
Mo Yan was very pleased and extremely happy. He picked Zhao Shuning up and said, "Of course. Whatever Yan Ruyu can give to Yan'er, I can give too."
"That's right. Moreover, Lord Mo Yan, Yan'er can sense your feelings for me. Over the years, all your efforts and sacrifices, I've seen them all. Following you is much better than following that millennium iceberg. You know how to care for me. You will never be as cold as Yan Ruyu to Yan'er, right?"
"Right, of course right."
Zhao Shuning's gauze slid across Mo Yan's skin. He only felt that the beauty in his arms was extremely beautiful under the moonlight. Although he had many doubts about her before, at the moment when the beauty fell into his arms, Mo Yan dispelled many of his misgivings.
Far away from the Eastern Continent's royal palace, a huge formation was sweeping in from the sky.
"If the Emperor Yan Ruyu were here at this moment, would Yan'er dare to say these words to him?"
"Why not?" Zhao Shuning murmured. "But Lord Mo Yan, aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid? I'm not what I used to be. Why should I be afraid of that heart - broken Yan Ruyu for your sake? As long as he doesn't join hands with Zhao Huai, I'm confident in dealing with him."
After saying that, as if to prove his words, Mo Yan sneered and put Zhao Shuning down.
Zhao Shuning asked in confusion, "Lord Mo Yan, what are you doing?"
Mo Yan turned Zhao Shuning's head to the other side, towards the half - sky. There, a group of people were right above the royal palace where they were.
It was Yan Ruyu. At this moment, there were a large number of people behind him, at least dozens.
Yan Ruyu's arrival had directly torn apart the spatial barrier created by the Blood Vine Slaughter. Sure enough, for the millennium - old Emperor Yan Ruyu, the Blood Vine Slaughter was still not worth mentioning in front of him.
Yan Ruyu was dressed in a blue robe. His white hair fluttered behind him with the gentle breeze. On his perfectly flawless face was the usual icy coldness.
Mo Yan placed his hand on Zhao Shuning's head and forced her to look directly at Yan Ruyu. "Yan'er, repeat what you just said to me to him."
In the half - sky, their eyes met. Zhao Shuning was stunned. A smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"What? Were all the words you said to me just now lies?"
After saying that, Mo Yan's hand moved to Zhao Shuning's smooth neck. This neck was long and slender, as graceful as a swan's. It was fair but delicate. As long as Mo Yan exerted a little force, this beautiful neck would surely break.
Zhao Shuning said casually, "All that Yan'er wanted to say has been said. I'm sure the Emperor is sharp - eared and should have heard it, right?"
Mo Yan looked at Yan Ruyu in the half - sky and said, "Emperor, did you hear that?"
Yan Ruyu's face was as cold as frost. He looked at the woman in Mo Yan's arms. The woman seemed to prove her words. She slowly hooked one of her hands around Mo Yan's neck, then slightly tiptoed and gently kissed Mo Yan's side face.
Everyone above the royal palace was in an uproar. Was this extremely beautiful woman Zhao Shuning? How could she have completely changed her face? If she was really Zhao Shuning, how could she do such a shameless thing?
