Chapter 198

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

The expanded Princess Mansion was full of flowers and brocade. The original backyard was now shaded by green trees, and various rare flowers and plants were planted on the ground. A thousand-year-old evergreen tree was transported from the Star Dou Great Forest by Xu Jiujiu at a great cost and planted here. The rich life energy poured out, and just by getting close to this side, one could feel a cool and comfortable feeling.

The summer afternoon was a bit sultry. The Golden Tortoise lay quietly by the pond to escape the heat. Although it was not as comfortable as living in the Star Dou Great Forest, at least it didn't have to be fearful. After getting used to it, its little life was quite leisurely. Anyway, it was considered an auspicious beast itself, and staying in Star Luo City was indeed quite beneficial. The royal family was naturally happy to support it. Who wouldn't yearn for this kind of life where you reach out for food and clothing?

Under the shade of the trees in the distance, a set of white tables and chairs was placed here. On the recliner nearby, Shu Yan closed his eyes and was resting his mind. On the path behind him, Xu Jiujiu was walking toward this side with juice and the little girl Meng Ning. Looking at the leisurely Shu Yan, Xu Jiujiu smiled helplessly, handed a cup of iced juice to Shu Yan, and then sat down on the side herself.

"A-Yan, recently Luochen and the others are fighting fiercely in the arena. Don't you plan to go over and take a look?"

Shu Yan raised his eyes lazily and said casually:

"It's a good thing that the sisters have the drive to improve themselves. Don't worry about them. Actual combat is the best way to progress, especially our Sister and Luochen. They haven't yet lifted the cultivation delay brought about by the extreme attributes, so they can't be lazy."

Hearing this, Shu Yan slowly opened his eyes. A year had passed. Perhaps it was that trip to Sun-Moon that allowed him to see too many novel customs, and his temperament had also changed a little. His whole appearance and temperament were also evolving in the direction of maturity and stability, but what remained unchanged was that his face could still make countless young girls and young women look at the expectation in Meng Ning's black and beautiful eyes while sitting opposite Xu Jiujiu, pondering for a moment, before Shu Yan said:

Qian Gu Yueyin actually came to challenge him again, and after being pressed and beaten by him, she lay on the bed for a full week before she could get out of bed. Afterwards, there were continuous challenges. Every time she wouldn't give up unless she was beaten with injuries all over by Shu Yan, which finally made Shu Yan feel a little unbearable, and even once suspected whether this girl had awakened some strange attributes...

Later, Shu Yan helped her, and afterwards, Shu Yan didn't hide it. After revealing the broken Angel god position, he successfully recruited Ye Guyi.

Xu Jiujiu just smiled. This year, everyone lived a fulfilling life, and they became more and more familiar and close to each other. Even Luo Qinghan and the others slowly integrated into the group, which was much livelier than before.

As the women were about to set off, Shu Yan also rarely made an appearance.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"A-Yan, what do you think?"

Saying this, she directly hugged Shu Yan's neck and gnawed on him. Yes, it was gnawing in the literal sense, which had nothing to do with the verb "kiss."

In the past year, Shu Yan had gone to the Sun-Moon Empire alone, followed the guidance of the broken Angel god position, and found Ye Guyi who was "purifying" evil soul masters in a small town in the Sun-Moon Empire.

Looking at Qian Gu Yueyin's heroic and beautiful face, Shu Yan really didn't know what to say.

Shu Yan was momentarily confused and surprised by Qian Gu Yueyin, his thoughts surging in his mind, and at the same time, the Ice Emperor's sarcastic "tsk tsk" sound came. Shu Yan blocked these sounds. Right now, Qian Gu Yueyin's matter hadn't been solved yet. If he fought with the Ice Emperor again, I'm afraid today would be enough to give him a headache.

Shu Yan looked at Qian Gu Yueyin's resentful eyes, as if he were a scumbag, and became interested for no reason. After pondering for a while, he then said: "I still like your unruly appearance before. Why don't you recover?"

Meng Ning lay in Xu Jiujiu's arms, listening to the two of them, and the smile on her face never disappeared...

It was during that period of being beaten that Qian Gu Yueyin seemed to slowly become a different person. In front of Shu Yan, she was no longer as free and direct as before, but instead became coy.

Seeing that Shu Yan still ignored her, Qian Gu Yueyin became more and more angry. She dragged Shu Yan into the VIP room nearby, and after driving the maid away, the tears finally fell.

The choice before her was to accept or give up. Shu Yan didn't want to force her to make a choice in a short time, but she was forcing herself. The more urgent it was, the lower and less rational it usually was. This, this girl was obviously somewhat out of control emotionally.

Qian Gu Yueyin didn't care, just kept hugging Shu Yan.

After a long time, Qian Gu Yueyin's emotions slowly calmed down. She leaned silently in Shu Yan's arms, then slowly raised her head, her beautiful face still stained with tear marks, and then she said softly: "Shu Yan, I have made a decision..."

And in the days that followed, Shu Yan was either cultivating or occasionally training the women, and the days were fulfilling. "Aren't you very affectionate? Even that slut Tian Ling has been trained by you to be obedient. Why, do I really make you hate me so much?"

"Shu Yan, am I really not worthy of your eyes? Clearly, Tian Ling is not necessarily better than me in any way, and you are more attentive to her than to me, just because you are willing to put down your methods to serve you, right?"

"Little Ning, it's not impossible to go out for a walk. Recently, the empire has been searching and cleaning up evil soul masters on a large scale. A while ago, Yueyin and the others also told me about this. How about this, I will ask the Imperial Brother for instructions and invite a Title Douluo to protect you. On one hand, it is to clean up the threat brought by evil soul masters, and on the other hand, you can just go back to the Southern Region to take a look."

Xu Jiujiu touched the little girl's head somewhat indulgently, then looked at Shu Yan, who had a gentle expression, and asked softly:

Of course, after the last pk between the two, Shu Yan really couldn't help it, and slapped the girl's buttocks hard for five minutes. Finally, when Qian Gu Yueyin broke free from the shackles and fled, her strange pace attracted a lot of people's attention.

"That, you calm down first..."

There were not many opportunities to be gained in the Sun-Moon Empire, and there was nothing Shu Yan was interested in. After traveling with Ye Guyi, he rushed back, which took a total of about three months.

Saying this, her eye sockets actually turned red for no reason, looking like she had been bullied severely.

Meng Ning jumped off the chair, then ran over and threw herself into Xu Jiujiu's arms, rubbed against her, and said happily:

Seeing Shu Yan eat the fruit she peeled, a smile bloomed on Meng Ning's face, and then she coquettishly stated her purpose.

Qian Gu Yueyin was almost laughed at by anger. She grabbed Shu Yan's collar, then pressed Shu Yan against the wall nearby, and leaned over as well.

"It's still Sister Jiujiu who is good to us, love you, Sister Jiujiu..."

"Brother, I want to go out for a walk recently."

After getting along for a year, Shu Yan didn't know when Qian Gu Yueyin's feelings for him became more and more contradictory. She wanted to get close to Shu Yan, but couldn't accept sharing a partner with others. It was somewhat similar to the previous Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor, but she was far less open-minded than the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor, and instead fell into a quagmire.

Xu Jiujiu also nodded and said: "I will go and ask the Imperial Brother for instructions later and find a Title Douluo who is free recently to follow them."

Shu Yan pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Shu Yan tried to push Qian Gu Yueyin away, but this girl was stubborn and hugged him tighter and tighter. Shu Yan was also somewhat helpless, then said: "You know the relationship between Tian Ling and me. With your pride, are you really willing to do this? Or rather, aren't you also struggling with this problem? Throwing the problem to me won't solve it. This is the contradiction in your own heart."

"Let them go. There is still a need for experience on the road of growth. It is a good thing to go out for a walk under the premise of ensuring there is no life danger."

Shu Yan pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Just as he walked into the hall, a dark gold long stick was drawn from the side without mercy. Shu Yan was not surprised, flicked his hand, and the Coiled Dragon Staff was repelled. Shu Yan slowly turned his head, looked at the heroic girl in black with a high ponytail, sighed helplessly, and then said: "Can you come up with something fresh? For more than half a year, you have ambushed me one hundred and seventy times?" Beside him, the girl holding the dark gold long stick put away her martial soul, glared at Shu Yan somewhat resentfully, and then said:

Meng Ning sat beside Shu Yan. The little girl picked up a fruit that looked like a lychee that was ripe in the season from the fruit plate, peeled off the shell, and sent it to Shu Yan's mouth. Her movements were also extremely proficient, and there was no shyness in her expression, but she became generous and decent.

Shu Yan was infected by her awkwardness and excitement, but the next moment, a pain came from the corner of his mouth, and the taste of blood spread in his mouth. Shu Yan pushed Qian Gu Yueyin away, sat on the sofa nearby, and forced Qian Gu Yueyin to lie on his lap. Looking at the blood slowly dripping from the corner of his mouth, Shu Yan swore that he must give this little wild cat a hard lesson today.

A quarter of an hour later, Qian Gu Yueyin lay in Shu Yan's arms with a flushed face. She looked back at Shu Yan, the expression in her eyes somewhat addicted, but more of it was longing.
