Chapter 771 (1/2)

“You all really want to stop the war?” asked Princess Longji, surprised.

“Yep, stop the war temporarily. But if you all do anything, we will still carry on,” said Sha Lan.

“Are you all preparing and taking this time to raise more troops, finally delivering the final strike on us?” Princess Longji looked at Sha Lan. Their plan was becoming quite obvious.

“You’re right, that’s exactly our plan. If we keep fighting you all before we’re ready, it will just be a waste of lives and resources. It will just make our finances, people and everything suffer. Our empress would never agree to this,” said Sha Lan. “What? Are you afraid? If you’re afraid, then we shall carry on. Soaring Sky won’t be the only one who sustains losses if this continues.”

“Alright, it’s set then. Let me remind you that you’re not the only ones preparing, us too. We will come take back what’s ours anytime,” said Princess Longji directly.

“I know but that’s none of my business, I’m not in charge of these things,” shrugged Sha Lan.

“Alright, we’ve finished talking about serious business. Let’s talk about other things,” said Princess Longji to Sha Lan.

What? You’re done?

Third Brother and Seventh Brother looked at each other awkwardly. How could these girls talk about serious business so casually? But then again, it seemed that everything that needed to be discussed had already been discussed.

As long as they were inclined towards ending the war. Everyone hoped they would just stop fighting.

“All done? Someone’s not here yet though, although I don't think that relates to you guys,” said Sha Lan.

“Who else?” Princess Longji could not remember the remaining person.

“Me.” They heard a seductive voice as a girl with a killer figure walked into the living room. All eyes were on her.

Although they had never met, they all knew who this was. This was because she was no ordinary person-- rather, she was not human.

This girl was a member of the fox tribe. She was the representative of the beastmen.

“And you are?” Although they knew her as the representative, they did not know her name.

“Athena of the fox tribe. As the representative of the beastmen, I would like to say that we also agree to stop the war because we need time to prepare. When we are ready, you all will know that you should've provoked the beastmen,” said the fox girl.

“Athena? So you’re Athena. This is very interesting,” said Ye Lanyu with a smile. “Everyone here has some sort of relations with my brother.”

“Hey, I have no relations with that guy,” huffed Athena.

“Third Brother, I think we’ve underestimated Thirteen. I didn’t know he had so much luck with girls. I should’ve asked him to introduce a few of them to us.”

“What did you say?”

“Huh, nothing! I didn’t say anything… Ah, honey, don’t do that.”

“Hehe, take care, Seventh Brother!” yelled Ye Lanyu. She grinned. “Little Seven, look around you. There are so many people here intimate with your partner, don’t you think you’ve failed as a wife?”

“What intimate? Who has Ye Lang flirted with? They’re just good friends and the other person happens to be a girl. If only he actually knew about feelings like that,” said the seventh princess.

Yep, all the girls here had relations with Ye Lang but they were all platonic and innocent with no romance or anything else. Everyone outside knew too.

Everyone knew of Ye Lang’s personality. He only had innocent platonic relationships with friends and family. Not romance.

This was coincidentally why the girls here liked him so much. They liked this feeling, they liked spending time with him.

Perhaps some of them here would leave someday to marry someone else. Perhaps they would find the love they sought after. That wouldn’t be surprising at all though, it was all natural.

But would the day really come?

They weren’t sure. Five years had passed but they hadn’t met their soulmate…

Perhaps they knew deep down that Ye Lang was their best home. They didn’t have to marry Ye Lang but being friends was already the best. Everything was innocent, it felt good.

“Ye Lang will definitely marry you when the time comes, don’t worry about anything else,” said Zhen Xiaoyan mildly. Then, she said something that shifted their focus.

“But have you all thought about how Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou are stuck in there alone for ten years? What would happen? Maybe they’ve even…” Zhen Xiaoyan did not continue because she was too embarrassed.

“Even had a child? You’re not wrong, that’s possible. Ten years! Anything could happen. Maybe they already have one now. Then you’ll see a little Ye Lang when they come out,” continued Third Brother. Everyone knew what she meant.

“...” Ye Lanyu and the rest were silent.

This was very much possible. Ten years! Anything could happen. Things happened when a man and a woman lived in the same room for a night, this was ten years!

“Little Seven, looks like your little sister beat you to it…” said Ye Lanyu solemnly.

“...”

“If he dares get together with that psycho, I will kill him!” said Princess Longji with a determined face. She did not believe that he would get with Zhao Yarou.

Zhao Yarou was a violent murderer, a person who killed her own family and declared war against Vermilion Bird. This was unforgivable.

“If Her Majesty and Ye Lang are happy together, how could you all object to it? Don’t think that Her Majesty likes him less than you,” said Sha Lan. She sounded wistful, everyone slowly digested her words.

“Why would you say that? Do you think that perverted madwoman Zhao Yarou has romantic feelings towards my brother?” said Ye Lanyu.

No one really knew what happened to Zhao Yarou. They didn’t know why Zhao Yarou had disappeared with him.

Everyone thought Zhao Yarou must’ve dragged him inside, so she could lock him up at the expense of her own freedom.

That was why they did not think too much into it.

“Perverted? She’s just a little peculiar, not perverted. There are millions of other people more perverted than her. As for emotions, she does not have fewer emotions than you and I. She knew she would be trapped for ten years and yet chose to be locked up with him. If that were you, would you do the same?” asked Sha Lan.

“Of course I’ll be with him,” said Ye Lanyu without thinking.

The seventh princess and the rest nodded. It was obvious they would do the same. On the other hand. Princess Longji and Athena would not. They had to reconsider.

There were many other matters for Princess Longji to consider. Athena did not have a deep connection with Ye Lang like them so she wouldn’t do such a thing unless absolutely necessary.

But that situation would have to be extraordinary.

“You… I really don’t understand why you’re all so nice to that jerk, he’s not that good of a person.” Sha Lan was stunned. Although she knew some of them would do it, she didn’t expect so many.

If she were to ask them for their reasons, they would all be different…

Ye Lanyu: “Because he’s my brother.”

Seventh princess: “Because he’s my fiance.”

Zhen Xiaoyan: “Because I’m his cook, I want to cook for him…”

Xuan Yuanbing: “Because we cannot be separated, he’s the most important person to me…”

Little princess: “Because he’s my Big Brother, I like being with him…”

Fei would be surprised at her own answer. “Why? Maybe my brain is just overheating.”

“Why? I don’t know. All I know is that if I were there, I would go with him.” Coldblood Five couldn’t think of a reason but was sure she would do it.

Some things did not require reason.

“Let’s not talk about this. Do you mean Zhao Yarou didn’t drag Ye Lang in but went crazy and jumped in with him?”

“Went crazy? I guess. If not, why would she hop inside? At that point, that jerk had already been locked up. He wouldn’t be able to escape already. She just couldn’t bear to be separated from him or wouldn’t have jumped in,” said Sha Lan.
