C16 (2/2)
Thinking about it again, Ye Qiongjiang felt a little relieved. Putting aside the hatred of another nation, objectively speaking, as the emperor, Mo Hua was truly talented and wise. He didn't indulge in women's beauty, but was instead motivated to work hard. He was almost perfect. But how could a person be perfect? There would always be some unknowable hobbies and paranoia.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Mo Hua's voice, ”Hold on tight, I'll lead you up.”
With his waist tightened, Ye Qiongjiang was pulled into a broad chest.
Soon after, he felt nothing but air beneath his feet. He flew into the air like he was riding on a cloud.
The sudden rise in the air made Ye Qiongjiang subconsciously hug the person beside her. When she came back to her senses, she realized that her hands were tightly wrapped around Mo Hua's neck, and she was suddenly embarrassed, and wanted to let go, but she realised that Mo Hua's arm around her waist was extremely disciplined.
If she had let go shyly, she would have acted pretentiously, as if she were afraid of him.
She was the daughter of General Nan Ping. How could she be considered weak?
A proud look flashed across Ye Qiongjiang's face, and the hand around his neck did not loosen, but calmly grabbed tightly onto him.
Mo Hua's figure was like a hawk, carrying Ye Qiongjiang with him. After a few dozen jumps, they arrived at the peak of Vermillion Jade Peak, as if they were flying through the air.
”So beautiful.”
Standing at the peak, the man sighed as he still hadn't loosened his grip on her delicate waist.
Was this considered teasing? Ye Qiongjiang's face flushed red. Just as she was thinking whether he should suddenly push him away and slap him hard with her palm, cursing his vulgarity, she heard Mo Hua continue: ”Every time I look down from this angle, I feel that the Star Palace is beautiful and mysterious, making people yearn for him.”
Hm?
Ye Qiongjiang was startled, she raised her head and looked at him, only to see that Mo Hua's gaze was not on her, and was thinking about the Star Palace halfway up the mountain.
Looking down from the distance, Star Palace who was halfway up the mountain was like a pearl which was embedded in the mountain, especially the semicircle shaped small plaza. The sky was clearly dark and the light was unclear, but the mysterious engravings on the plaza were extremely distinct. One by one, the lines converged onto the stone pillar in the middle.
At this moment, the sun and the moon were changing. The sun was setting on the left, and the moon was beginning to show on the right.
It was as if all the light in the world had been absorbed by the stone pillar. The three-legged Gold Crow made from pure copper at the top seemed to have absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, creating a demonic feeling. The light that was absorbed was reflected back along the mysterious engravings on the stone pillars, forming thin lines that emitted light.
In an instant, the entire small plaza lit up with a hazy glow. The mysterious engravings seemed to have gained intelligence.
As they stood at the peak of the mountain, they were able to see the entirety of the small square in front of them. It was like they could see a slowly flowing galaxy; beautiful to the point of being dreamy, and shockingly beautiful!
”When I was young, I loved coming here. Looking at the Star Palace like this, it was really a beautiful scenery.”
Mo Hua gently let go of Ye Qiongjiang who was in his embrace, walked forward a few steps, and practically stood at the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back as he looked down.
As the mountain winds blew, the setting sun shone the last bit of its radiance on, who was watching from behind him, and felt that this man had an indescribable radiance shining on him, as though he was a sturdy and tall pillar.
He had a panoramic view of the entire imperial palace of the Grand Xia, and the entire Grand Xia Dynasty was under his control.
He did not need to sound fierce, nor did he need to pretend to be angry. Merely by lightly standing there, he had created a scene in which his majesty and majesty could be seen without a doubt.
”Sometimes, I am really envious of Shen Qing.”
Envy?
Ye Qiongjiang stared at his back, not knowing what to say.
Mo Hua seemed to sigh, he turned around and smiled at her: ”Being in charge of the Star Palace, becoming the Great Deity Official, is much easier than being the emperor.”
His expression became serious, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. Instead, he walked into the dense forest with his clothes fluttering in the wind. ”Follow me, I'll show you something good.”
”You still want to follow? Do you ignore the hunger after you eat? ” Ye Qiongjiang followed behind him gloomily, cursing silently, she had not eaten the dinner just now! Uh, although Mo Hua didn't eat much, he ate more than her. She was the one who was really hungry.
The sky had already completely darkened. Mo Hua walked extremely fast, and in a short while, he disappeared into the dense forest.
Ye Qiongjiang actually lost him.
In the darkness of the night, the mountain forest seemed especially serene and terrifying. The leaves rustled in the wind, as if some enormous monster was hiding behind it, waiting for an opportunity to make its move.
