His words were lost in the wind, receiving no other reply
The carriage slowly drove through the busy streets of Jiankang, , a lush courtyard appeared before Chen Rong’s eyeswang Hong dismounted as soon as the vehicle ca: “Co her hand as his white robe fluttered in the windThe servants bowed and accorded the their heads fro
Chen Rong was also glancing around the exquisite courtyard
“Who will besuddenly asked
“Sir wang Yan”
These words had no sooner left her lips than Chen Rong froze in place, cold sweat seeping fro stopped and slowly turned to look at her
They stood on a shaded path, one bowing her head while the other beheld herFro an intiht, the servants hurriedly retreated and left the two of the fixedly stared at her

He stood like this for a long tiht frown between his brows
Catching sight of the setting sun, Chen Rong opened her ’s voice sounded: “Andpaused, then answered hi”
wang Hong turned around to look at her
“You don’t have to think twice about this answer?” his throat undulated in a croakHe kne much she loved himIt was hard to believe that she would make up his early death just to win his trust
Chen Rong pressed her lips togetherWhy should she have to think twice about so at her, wang Hong’s voice beca really a butterfly dream?”

“Is that so?”
“Aye” Chen Rong’s ansas brisk and lightShe raised her head to look at wang Hong as she spoke, her eyes cos that could be said, and things shewas a proud man; he would not like to hear that there had been other men in her life… Even if it was in the past, even if it was in another lifetiht
“How old were you when you passed away?”
“Twenty nine”

That was indeed trueChen Rong’s ability could violate divinity during warring ti hands, it could completely turn the world upside downTake the most powerful shamans in history, for exampleThey had been placed on altars by ambitious rulers and honored for life just because they had accurately prophesied an event or two
Chen Rong should have been alarerous remarks, but she only stood there quietly, at peace and with full trust in hi lazily said to her, “It seereat talents, I only have the ambition of the fairer sexUnless I a, I would only be an idler my whole life” He rubbed his chin and chuckled“The old chief had liked ht away, the very first time we metIt would take ten or twenty years in other clans to confirm an heir; I was just ten when they puthe would surely turn in his grave”
He held Chen Rong’s hand and walked on

Her question was redundant, but she had to ask
wang Hong nodded“I guess I do”
