Chapter 292 (1/2)
Womanizing Mage, Chapter 292: Request
Not long after, Nalan Ruyue's diplomatic group arrived. This diplomatic group consists of 3 luxurious carriages, and nearly 200 cavalry escorts.
Long Yi, Li Qing and Barbarian Bull jumped down from the watchtower, then he looked at those troops with a smile. He had not seen Nalan Ruyue for a long time, so he didn't know how much more beautiful she had become.
A figure in green attire lightly jumped out from the carriage, was Nalan Ruyue's personal maid, Xiao Cui. This girl looked towards Long Yi and made a funny face, then raised the curtain of the carriage.
Long Yi held his breath, waiting for the appearance of Nalan Ruyue. Honestly speaking, with regarding this young girl who had a shady relations.h.i.+p with him, Long Yi still had a good feeling towards her.
A light yellow wool boots step out from the carriage along with the pink colored pants embroidered with a very exquisite decorative pattern. At first glance, one would know these were the traditional dress of Nalan Empire.
After the little leg landed on the ground, a little head wearing show-white woolen hat bore out of the carriage, then standing outside the carriage, she looked around, and her beautiful eyes rested on Long Yi.
Long truly didn't dare to believe, just after changing her clothing, Nalan Ruyue appeared so special. When they were in Mea Princ.i.p.ality, she was wearing white priest robe and appeared cold and desolate, but now wearing this bright-colored traditional dress of Nalan Empire, she unexpectedly appeared very fresh, moreover, with that soul-stirring smile on her face, she simply looked too beautiful.
At that time, from the carriages behind, several middle-aged and white-bearded old men wearing Nalan Empire's official clothing came out. They seemed to be the people of tremendous ability of Nalan Empire.
Long Yi led the ceremony team to welcome them, and standing in front of Nalan Ruyue, he said with a smile: ”Princess Ruyue, truly long time no see, you have become even more beautiful.”
”Young Master Ximen is flattering me, still, am I truly beautiful?” Nalan Ruyue just said a sentence of pleasantries, and then somewhat expectantly raised her head and asked.
”Of course, even compared to fairy maiden, you are more beautiful, simply is a fairy that has fallen to the mortal world.” Long Yi smirked and said. Then looking at that peculiarly shaped hat on her head, he couldn't help but reached out to touch it, but he immediately felt a burst of killing intent and a light blue colored douqi directly chopped towards the big hand of Long Yi which was reaching out towards Nalan Ruyue.
Long Yi nevertheless didn't react, and just when that douqi was about to chop his hand, a 'ding' sound resounded, and a threatening cold qi soared as a nearly transparent sword blocked the douqi, moreover, that middle-aged Swords Master behind Nalan Ruyue who had made a surprise attack was sent flying.
Nalan Ruyue slapped off the big hand of Long Yi, then rolling her eyes towards Long Yi, she said: ”Is this how Violent Dragon Empire that is regarded as Blue Waves Continent's land of ceremony and propriety treat their guest?”
Long Yi shrugged his shoulder and said: ”Then, may I ask Princess Ruyue as well as diplomatic envoys to show Nalan Emperor's official doc.u.ment.”
Nalan Ruyue faintly smiled, and with her hand flas.h.i.+ng with radiance, a leather scroll appeared in her hand, then handing it over to Long Yi, she said with a smile: ”This is the official doc.u.ment of emperor father. May I ask Young Master Ximen to look over.”
Long Yi opened the scroll and looked for a little while, then tossed it towards the ceremony officer behind him. Whether he read or not read it, either way, it was the same. The doc.u.ment was a pile of stereotyped, gorgeous flowery words without even a bit of substantial thing.
Long Yi ordered to make the way for the carriages and those thousand people of Nalan Ruyue.
”Young Master Ximen, is it possible for you to come together with us? It would be nice if you are to give a brief introduction to the scenery along the way, this however is my first time in Soaring Dragon City.” Nalan Ruyue opened the curtain of her carriage, and suddenly invited Long Yi with a smile, endlessly surprising everybody accompanying her. Generally, men were not allowed to casually enter the carriage of Misses and Madams. Even the male family members also refrain from doing so as much as possible, but such action of Nalan Ruyue clearly declared where she stood and also showed that she had a very favorable impression of Long Yi.
Long Yi also had no reason to refuse, he felt that it was fine to accompany her, so he calmly entered the carriage of Nalan Ruyue. The layout inside this carriage was very luxurious, and was also very s.p.a.cious. On the floor of this carriage, an exquisite carpet was spread out, and there was also a soft, woven mat to lie down, on which there were pillows and quilt. On a single glance, the inside of this carriage bore a remarkable resemblance to a moving lady' bedchamber of a girl, and especially that simple but elegant fragrance was refres.h.i.+ng.
Long Yi got intoxicated inhaling this fragrance, and ** expression appeared on his face. And seeing his such appearance, Nalan Ruyue and her maid Xiao Cui were endlessly scorning inwardly. This fellow, truly was the biggest pervert in this world. Persistently arousing unendurable aversion, this might be the highest realm of pervert.
Long Yi sat down beside Nalan Ruyue, and sighed in admiration, enjoying the company of Nalan Ruyue.
Nalan Ruyue however lifted the window curtain of the carriage and just looked at the bustling Soaring Dragon City. Seeing those crowd walking to-and-fro, working hard and living normally with a secure smiling face, she softly sighed, and her eyes became misty.
”What's up? Looking at our Soaring Dragon City, why did you sigh with emotion?” Long Yi asked.
Nalan Ruyue shook her head and said softly: ”Not long ago, the common people of Nalan Empire also lived normally and happily like this, but now, along with the escalation of war, the entire nation sunk into a kind of unusual silence, common people no longer have smile on their face, and especially in the home of the people who had joined the army, they even more are in tenterhooks and couldn't even swallow their meal, moreover, some border cities have already soaked in blood, and fields littered with corpses……” Nalan Ruyue said, but the more she spoke, the smaller her voice became until her voice couldn't be heard. She was deeply distressed for her nation.
