Chapter 987: Misfortune Divine Raven! Have You Thought About How to Control Xia Na?

Su Yang's attitude toward Sovereign Jiazi was actually about the same as his attitude toward the Hell Blood Vine Flower back then.

He had always been a pragmatist.

"What about you? Have you been getting along well with Sovereign Jiazi lately? I don't buy it — you're not the type to throw kindness around for no reason!"

Su Yang had a deep impression of Liu Mengyun's personality.

She was not the kind of naive, soft-hearted woman.

"I just felt she was a bit like how I used to be," Liu Mengyun said slowly. "Besides, keeping her around, I'm not afraid she'll stir up any trouble. Her strength and ability are both quite decent — keeping her can also be of help."

"Mm!" Su Yang nodded. "Then I'll try to secure her from the General Headquarters. And since you defeated her, your chances of keeping her are even higher… at least her talent doesn't seem like much of a threat to the Huaxia Federation."

As Su Yang said this, he slowly reached out and placed his hand on Liu Mengyun's waist.

Liu Mengyun only stiffened slightly, then relaxed, leaning gently against Su Yang.

The Southeast Coastal Region's weather wasn't cold at all.

Through the thin clothing, Su Yang could feel the warmth of Liu Mengyun's skin.

That soft, supple touch made his heart flutter.

Taking a deep breath of sea breeze, Su Yang forced himself to calm down.

"Right, I think I've been calling you Deputy Liu this whole time…"

Liu Mengyun said softly, "Just keep calling me that! I'm actually used to it now! If you switched to something else, I'd feel a bit awkward instead."

Su Yang then asked, "Let's just go public with our relationship!"

"Not for now!"

"Why?"

"Did you forget the Huaxia Military Headquarters' management regulations?"

Su Yang said helplessly, "I barely remember them at all…"

He had indeed studied them back then, but only skimmed through once.

So many years had passed — it had always been him managing others, and no one had ever brought up those regulations with him.

"I'm your adjutant — if word gets out, it'll look bad!"

"Look bad for me?" Su Yang laughed. "What effect could it have on me? It's fine either way. At worst General Qian will lecture me a bit — no big deal, I'm used to it."

"I want to keep things like this for now, maintain the status quo!" Liu Mengyun said quietly. "I want to keep serving as your adjutant, keep staying by your side, keep helping you — just like now."

"Not going public? Feels like I'm being looked down on!"

Su Yang let go of Liu Mengyun and lay down directly on the broad back of the Thousand Cloud Flowing Wind Crane.

"As long as you don't look down on me…"

"Look down on you for what? For being pretty? Or for being too outstanding?" Su Yang gazed at the star-filled sky and said, "Tell me what's really on your mind! I don't have all these roundabout thoughts like you — if you have something to say, just say it!"

Liu Mengyun hugged her knees, rested her chin on her knees, and said slowly, "Maybe… my heart just doesn't feel settled."

"What's there to feel unsettled about? I'm not going anywhere! One of these days I'll take you to meet my mom and my sister!"

Liu Mengyun's body trembled. She turned around and looked at Su Yang: "Meet your mom and sister?"

"Mm? What is it?"

"Isn't it a bit too soon?"

"Too soon?"

"Isn't it?"

Su Yang laughed and said, "Didn't you say your heart doesn't feel settled? I think taking you to meet my mom might help settle your heart a bit!"

Liu Mengyun lowered her head, and on her wooden expression, a rare smile appeared.

"Will you marry me?"

Su Yang asked, puzzled, "Why wouldn't I? Isn't dating just for the sake of getting married?"

"You…"

Liu Mengyun didn't even know how to describe Su Yang.

She always felt he was a bit too direct!

Although Su Yang was somewhat childish and acted rashly, he was really sincere and open.

Being by his side always felt very safe.

Liu Mengyun couldn't help but recall how, back in Jingcheng, Su Yang had stood up for her.

In this lifetime, Liu Mengyun could never forget it.

Just as Liu Mengyun was reminiscing, she was suddenly pulled by Su Yang and ended up lying in his arms.

"What are you doing?"

"Just want to hold you!"

"Don't squirm around!"

"Alright, I promise I won't move!"

"…"

By midnight, the two landed on the ground, hand in hand.

Su Yang thought for a moment, then said again, "I have something very important I need to discuss with you!"

"What is it?"

"I want to train that Misfortune Divine Raven of Xia Na's."
