Chapter 24: Xu Jiujiu

One night passed in a flash.

The warm sunlight quietly drilled into the main hall through the gaps in the curtains, finally shining on Xu Jiujiu. Xu Jiujiu slowly woke up from a deep sleep. The somewhat strange warmth beside her made her feel as if she had returned to the time when Shu Yan was still there. At that time, even if her daily study and cultivation were heavy, she only needed to have a good sleep in the other party's arms to recover.

But since Shu Yan left, her sleep quality had dropped again and again, and even reached the point of not daring to fall asleep.

The reason for all this was the boy who was inseparable from her before. If it weren't for the fact that the soul master's physical fitness far exceeded ordinary people, plus she enjoyed treatment that ordinary people couldn't imagine as a princess, if there weren't these, I fear her body would have collapsed long ago...

Last night she seemed to have a very realistic dream. In the dream, Shu Yan suddenly returned. She was overjoyed and cried, and after the two told each other about their longing, she fell into a deep sleep in the other party's arms...

This dream made her heart, which had been shrouded in mist, suddenly see a ray of sunlight, and her decadent temperament also recovered some spirit.

Moving her body slightly, Xu Jiujiu, who originally intended to stretch, suddenly stiffened. In the instant just now, she seemed to have noticed the existence of others beside her.

A strong sense of crisis prompted her to uncontrollably drop a palm. Golden soul power surged. Shu Yan, who was lying beside her, suddenly opened his eyes. The jade hand wrapped in golden soul power was held straight by him. The two people's gazes met in the air. Xu Jiujiu fell into a sluggish state in an instant. Shu Yan slowly let go of Xu Jiujiu's hand, which had returned to normal, and pinched the girl's cheek somewhat helplessly, then said: "Jiujiu, you want to kill your husband early in the morning, this is not a good habit..."

Familiar voice, familiar tone. The Shu Yan in Xu Jiujiu's eyes slowly overlapped with the Shu Yan of the past. She said somewhat unbelievably: "A-Yan?"

Shu Yan nodded gently, and then pulled Xu Jiujiu directly into his arms.

"You haven't had a good rest for a long time, listen to me, sleep a little longer."

He could feel Xu Jiujiu's exhaustion. Clearly, one night's sleep was not enough to offset the torture and torment she had suffered during this period.

Xu Jiujiu's body trembled slightly, but under Shu Yan's patient comfort, it slowly returned to calm.

She raised her head in Shu Yan's arms, her eyes carrying the extreme joy and shock brought by the loss and recovery. Tears also flowed down from her beautiful golden eyes, and her lips also trembled somewhat. It was as if she had thousands of words she wanted to tell.

Shu Yan kissed Xu Jiujiu's forehead again, then said softly:

"Jiujiu, I know you have a lot of words and even a lot of emotions that need to be vented now, and even my return is too sudden for you, making you feel the illusion of not being able to distinguish between true and false. But what I need to tell you is that I really came back. Many, many things happened during these nearly nine months. Let me explain to you carefully later, but what I want to tell you is that I have found a brand-new path for our future, which will be our common struggle goal in the future."

Xu Jiujiu nodded tremblingly, crystal tears constantly flowing from the corners of her eyes, and then falling on the golden bed sheet.

Her mood was hard to describe in words. The surprise and accident of loss and recovery made it difficult for her to hide her excitement, and on the other hand, she had incomparable curiosity about what Shu Yan had experienced in the Extreme North Land, and, what exactly was the path Shu Yan mentioned...

All of this made it difficult for her to maintain the etiquette and appearance that a princess should have. To tell the truth, her desire for control was very, very large, especially for Shu Yan. She urgently wanted to know everything about the other party. Now the sense of mystery on Shu Yan made her feel like ants biting her heart, almost difficult to suppress.

Shu Yan also noticed Xu Jiujiu's abnormality. He sighed helplessly, then reached out and patted the softness behind Xu Jiujiu, and said softly:

"Don't think about those things, you are my lover. I naturally won't hide what I can tell you later. Things like imprisonment and forced confession are actually unnecessary..." A seductive blush appeared on Xu Jiujiu's fair face. Shu Yan's straightforwardness made her very shy and angry. She glared at Shu Yan fiercely, then whispered: "Don't move around before we get married!"

"Also, this princess has never thought about those things you said. However, if you want to try, this princess can reluctantly agree to you..."

Shu Yan imagined that scene, then goosebumps rose uncontrollably all over his body. He shook his head and said:

"Unnecessary, Jiujiu, it's still early, His Majesty hasn't finished the morning court yet, you sleep a little longer, a little later, I will enter the palace with you to see His Majesty. At that time, I will explain the origin of all this to you slowly..."

Xu Jiujiu snorted in Shu Yan's arms, then she changed to a comfortable position, grabbed one of Shu Yan's arms to hold, wiped the tears on her face, coughed a few times, and then hummed: "Whatever you want, but you must explain to me clearly what happened in these few months later, otherwise, don't even think about getting on my Xu Jiujiu's bed in the future..."

Shu Yan nodded with a smile, watching Xu Jiujiu's eyelids, which were constantly fighting, slowly close, and her breathing slowly leveled off. Shu Yan then dared to change his position slightly and pulled out his leg, which was already numb.

Looking at Xu Jiujiu's quiet sleeping face, Shu Yan's thoughts slowly calmed down. From today on, he wanted to take Xu Jiujiu and the entire Star Luo Empire to fight for a realm that only existed in the history of the continent. From then on, everything would be different. The history of the Douluo Continent would be changed by them...

Near noon, Xu Jiujiu finally woke up leisurely. Shu Yan hugged her and washed up. The girl had finally recovered what she had lost and was in a sticky time. Shu Yan's words made her somewhat uneasy, so she naturally wished Shu Yan would stay by her side at all times. Shu Yan couldn't refuse, and after waiting for Xu Jiujiu to finish her makeup, the two left the Princess Mansion.

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress had been waiting for a long time. The two figures were hidden in the shadows. No matter how many pedestrians there were, no one could notice their existence. Shu Yan waved at the two, and Xu Jiujiu was somewhat confused, but in the next second, just as she blinked, the figures of the Ice and Snow Dual Emperors suddenly appeared before her eyes.

I don't know why, perhaps instinctively, Xu Jiujiu's hair stood on end when she saw the Ice and Snow Dual Emperors. Almost subconsciously, she took a step back. These two women in front of her gave her a feeling of being unfathomable. Even in front of her royal brother, she had never had such a feeling.

Her intuition told her that these two were definitely not ordinary people. Her memory returned, and the Snow Empress's face, which was extremely similar to Shu Yan's, suddenly reminded her of something. Immediately, her whole body trembled, and she said somewhat unbelievably: "Snow Empress!?"

The Snow Empress's gaze swept over Xu Jiujiu's whole body, her gaze carrying a bit of scrutiny. She really wanted to know what unique qualities this girl, who could make Shu Yan value her so much, had. After some scrutiny, she had basically figured out Xu Jiujiu's background. Overall, it was indeed quite stunning.

An Imperial Princess, her age was not much different from Shu Yan's, her soul power level was above level 35, and she emitted a unique star rhyme, which she thought should be brought by her martial soul...

With such status and talent, she was indeed worthy of Shu Yan.

Thinking of this, the Snow Empress's thin lips parted slightly, and then she said:
