Chapter 1435: I Want to Squeeze In With You

"What? General Su is going into a marriage alliance?"

Black Moon Town. After hearing Su Yang's brief explanation, Xia Na froze completely: "So we're talking peace and not fighting?"

"Not fighting, for now!"

Xia Na said in disbelief: "You wiped out the Fire Phoenix Legion, killed General Feng Yu — and that's just let go?"

"Let go for now. That should be what Qin Longyun means!"

"How could that be?"

"Nothing is impossible!" Yang Hao said from the side. "To great figures, a hundred-thousand-strong Fire Phoenix Legion is merely a number; what they must weigh and consider is far more complex than you imagine—they wouldn't sacrifice the greater good for personal grudges!"

"I just feel that guy surnamed Qin is up to no good!"

Yang Hao also said: "General Xia's words aren't without reason either. Hard to say this fellow won't strike from the shadows."

Su Yang waved his hand and said: "I understand. I'll be careful. As long as nothing happens to me, Qin Longyun won't dare act rashly."

Seeing Su Yang had it figured out, Xia Na and Yang Hao said nothing more.

They both understood that peace was absolutely beneficial to the Huaxia Federation and to Su Yang.

The longer it dragged on, the stronger Su Yang would become!

By then, even if the Qingluan Nation wanted to go back on its word, it wouldn't dare.

Soon, Xia Na's attention shifted to another matter: "Is General Su really going to marry a woman from the Qingluan royal family?"

Su Yang nodded expressionlessly: "Most likely!"

"Have you told Sister Mengyun?"

"I have!"

"She agreed?"

"She agreed!"

Xia Na pouted, sat down to one side, clearly in a foul mood.

"Alright, that's decided then!" Su Yang said. "I've already sent Sister Xue Li to gather our people. We can't clash with the Qingluan Nation for now."

"Understood!"

Su Yang tugged at Xia Na's little cheek: "You look unhappy. Do you really think it would be better if the Qingluan Nation and the Huaxia Federation went to war?"

"Of course not!" Xia Na pushed Su Yang's hand away and said, "Who would like fighting every day?"

Only those who have lived through war truly understand how precious peace is.

"Alright, everyone relax a little. You've all been working hard lately."

"Mm!"

That night, Xia Na, wearing a little bear pajama, sat in her own room, staring blankly at the starry sky outside the window.

She sat there until the small hours of the morning, then hugged a pillow, tiptoed open her door, and walked toward Su Yang's room.

"Right, just like that, push the door open and go straight in!"

"Don't be afraid, take the first step bravely!"

"Since Liu Mengyun agreed to Su Yang marrying another woman, she'll definitely agree to you staying with Su Yang!"

"Even the Qin family women get to sleep there — why shouldn't you?"

"Bravely push open this door, take this step, and you'll discover a whole new world!"

"..."

Inside Xia Na's body, the Unlucky Divine Crow unusually didn't call Xia Na a stupid woman, unusually didn't mock or insult her, but loudly cheered Xia Na on!

"Lord Su Yang is never short of women. You can't leave anymore anyway — the sooner you claim him, the deeper his impression of you!"

"You can't wait any longer. Waiting only brings destruction. If you keep waiting, once more women gather around him, you might become dispensable!"

"Go for it, Xia Na!"

"You can do it!"

"..."

The Unlucky Divine Crow had long wanted to throw in its lot with Su Yang!

Seeing other bonded beasts — like Jin Lin the Mermaid, the Human-Face Spider, the Phantom Shadow Cat — get so many benefits from Su Yang, how could it hold back from egging Xia Na on?

Besides, it could clearly tell that Xia Na had feelings for Su Yang.

Xia Na stood at the door of Su Yang's bedroom, took a deep breath, and a palm strike severed the latch.

She entered the room, closed the door, and walked to Su Yang's bedside.

Su Yang lay on his back and looked at her in confusion: "Is something the matter?"

"I can't sleep. I want to squeeze in with you!"

The moment those words left her mouth, Xia Na could hear her own heartbeat.

Su Yang looked at Xia Na — hugging her pillow tightly, head lowered, face flushed red-hot, face buried in the pillow with only her long hair showing — and let out a heavy sigh.

He thought of what Liu Mengyun had once said to him.

Thirty seconds later, with no response, Xia Na slowly took a step back.

Su Yang hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed her pillow.

"Better not leave then!"

"Mm!"

Before dawn, Su Yang was woken by movement beside him.

A beast-tamer like him slept very lightly — the slightest stir would wake him automatically.

Even without opening his eyes, he knew it was Xia Na getting up.

"Not going to sleep a little longer?"

"Can't sleep!"

"Just lie down for a bit!"

"Mm!"

Xia Na burrowed back into the covers again.

Su Yang and Xia Na stayed at the Black Moon Town outpost for two days, and after those two days he took Xia Na back deep into the Green Cloud Mountain Range.

Over those two days, Yang Hao had more or less guessed what had happened between Su Yang and Xia Na.

Su Yang hid it well, but Xia Na still couldn't fool Yang Hao, that old intelligence agent!

That gaze of hers was practically glued to Su Yang.

Always staring off into space watching Su Yang, an inexplicable smile often on her face…

The signs were far too obvious!
