Chapter 819
Ning Que had stayed in the City of Wei for many years, and naturally knew the importance of the Xiangwan Plain .
This war in the mortal world had to be split into two levels . The Academy against the Drunkard, the Butcher, the Sword Sage, Liu Bai, and the other sublime beings hidden in the world . The Tang cavalry would take care of the rest of the enemies .
The Tang Empire cavalry was still the most powerful in the world . As long as they acclimated to the situation on the battleground, they could kill cultivators within the Five States . The situation that had happened before the Verdant Canyon would be impossible to replicate because there would not be another Academy in this world . And no one would be able to find someone like those at the back of the Academy's mountain .
If the Tang Empire really acquiesced to the West-Hill Divine Palace's conditions and gave up the Xiangwan Plain to the Golden Palace, it would mean breaking their own limbs . They would be giving up their greatest weapon .
Ning Que would not agree to this condition under any circ.u.mstances . However, he knew the key point of this negotiation with the West-Hill Divine Palace, and the appearance of the Drunkard in Chang'an was truly about the Xiangwan Plain .
The Night Hall was silent . Everyone, including the Empress, was waiting for him to make his stand . The Academy's stand in this situation was the Tang Empire's stand .
Ning Que stood up and looked at the officials, then said, ”Negotiate with them first and let me think about it again . ”
Since this matter was one of a national scale, there wouldn't be a single person who could make a decision in such a short period of time .
That night, Ning Que returned to the house at Yanming Lake . However, he did not look for Ye Hongyu .
Dawn approached, along with the sounds of roosters crowing . Dog barks and chicken squawking filled the streets . Hot steam escaped from the seams of the Bun Shop which had yet to open . The morning breeze blew the steam onto the streets, wetting the green stone floors .
A new day had come .
The imperial court continued negotiating with the West-Hill Divine Palace's diplomatic corps . According to news from the palace, the Divine Hall seemed oddly insistent, unlike the previous days . They refused to make any concessions on regards to ceding the Xiangwan Plain .
Ning Que knew why the Divine Hall was acting so . He waved his hand, signaling for the Imperial Center Administration official to leave . He woke up, drank a bowl of porridge and arrived at the plum garden . He opened the doors and entered .
Ye Hongyu liked to bathe in the morning because she liked to spend the day refreshed .
She had just showered when Ning Que entered her room .
Damp black hair hung on her naked shoulders, the tips dripping with water, covering her chest nicely .
Ye Hongyu glanced at him, then walked up to the mirror and started combing her hair . She asked, ”Have you decided?”
As she combed, her black hair was moved from the front to the back and everything could be seen clearly in the mirror .
Ning Que asked, ”Decided on what?”
Ye Hongyu said, ”On signing . ”
Ning Que shook his head .
Ye Hongyu saw him shaking his head in the mirror, and her hand holding the comb froze . She said, ”I thought you had already decided and were unhappy, having come to rape me in return . ”
Ning Que said, ”Even though you're really beautiful . ”
Ye Hongyu said, ”Even thinking about it is distasteful . ”
Ning Que said, ”At least I never thought of it . ”
Ye Hongyu replied, ”I'm not wearing any clothes, and you are staring at me . Then, what are you thinking about?”
Ning Que replied, ”This is my home . Furthermore, I've already seen you naked in the Wilderness swamp . ”
Ye Hongyu asked calmly, ”I've never asked you, did I look good?”
Ning Que thought about it and said, ”Your body is indeed mesmerizing, but once I think of your Divine Robe of Judgement and those threads under your skin, I become disinterested . ”
Ye Hongyu rose and put on her blood-colored Divine Robe of Judgement . Then, she faced the mirror and started drawing her brows .
The Divine Robe of Judgement combined auras that were both holy and cruel . It laid over a delicate body that was like white jade, and it grew even more enchanting, especially since Ning Que knew that she wore nothing under the robe .
She was not wearing the skirts of maidservants, because she was now the Great Divine Priest of Judgment .
”The Tang Empire cannot possibly keep the Xiangwan Plain . The Divine Hall can make concessions except for the Xiangwan Plain . Otherwise, this war against the Tang Empire would be pointless . ”
