402 An Eminent Person Has a Short Memory (1/2)

The leader of Eternal Tree Sacred Leaf was the wife of the king of Harmony River?

Upon hearing A Ye's explanation, Wang Lu finally understood why this person, who he thought to have dubious IQ, could confidently say that the alliance between Harmony River and Eternal Tree was unbreakable. It turned out that the two were actually husband and wife! For such a relation, with A Ye's temper, he indeed genuinely thought that the alliance between the two forces was unbreakable. And Wang Lu also thought that A Ye would say: ”With how handsome I am, which of my allies that would be willing to betray me…”

It was obviously not the first time for Zhou Mumu to see the Sacred Leaf. Hearing how A Ye showed off his wife, she sneered. ”Be careful, your wife is now your competitor. Under the background of the struggling for the five blood spirit crown, a fall out between husband and wife is not uncommon.”

As a result, A Ye burst into laughter. ”I am so handsome that my wife will not be willing to betray me.”

”...” Zhou Mumu thought otherwise and even snorted contemptuously, but she also knew of A Ye's temperament. He might be persuaded on other things, but once he firmly believed in something, he would not look back anymore, especially regarding his handsomeness. Therefore, Zhou Mumu was too lazy to continue. After letting out a few sneers, she completely ignored him.

Not long afterward, the green cloud descended down from the sky. The Sacred Leaf of Eternal Tree, Shaman, leading her two children, came to the front of the crowd, and then slightly nodded towards Wang Lu and Lan. Shaman's gesture was graceful and elegant, so graceful that even the most demanding nitpicky person would not find anything improper to pick at.

Compared to Shaman, A Ye was much more passionate. He ran straight to hug Shaman, deeply planted kisses on Shaman's cheeks, and then touched his two children's head. Then, under his children's cheers, he carried them on his shoulders and then pointed at Wang Lu and Lan and said, ”These two people are from Grey Mountain, the earth spirit Wang Lu and a waste girl. Come and say hello to them.”

The two almost-exactly-the-same little boys smiled and waved at Wang Lu and Lan, but did not speak.

A Ye explained, ”Don't look at their already-grew-so-big body, they're actually just one year old, so they still can't speak. However, they are very sensible, much stronger than when I was a kid, and they completely inherited their mother's special ability. Later, when they become the king of Harmony River and Sacred Leaf of Eternal Tree, the alliance would become even more unbreakable. Ha, the luckiest thing that happened to me in my entire life is marrying a good wife and having two good sons.”

While speaking, A Ye's face revealed a deep sense of love.

However, just as A Ye was still immersed in his family's happiness, an untimely voice rang out.

”I'm hungry.”

Lan touched her stomach and coldly said.

A Ye was startled, and then coldly and haughtily said, ”We don't give food to a waste here.”

Before he could continue, the Sacred Leaf of Eternal Tree slightly furrowed her shapely eyebrows. ”A Ye! She is our guest!”

Upon hearing those words, A Ye was immediately covered in shock. His frosty expression instantly melted, replaced by an almost flattering smile to Lan. ”If you're hungry, then let's eat! Come in, join me in the house.” While saying that, he walked into the house.

”Alas.” As A Ye's follower, Zhou Mumu could only sigh when seeing this.

On the other hand, Wang Lu looked at this couple with interest. While following A Ye into the house, he said to Shaman, ”Do you feel troubled in looking after him?”

Shaman let out a modest smile. ”A Ye is mostly a passionate person, so sometimes, he might not conform with common etiquette. But everything that he does always comes from the heart. I think that this sincere heart is very commendable, so I never feel troubled.”

Wang Lu nodded and seemingly unintentionally asked, ”I see that A Ye has no interest in the state affairs, do you usually help him take care of it?”

Shaman was startled by this, but A Ye who walked at the front already answered it for her, ”Shaman helps me in all of them. Now she often has her hands full in managing the affairs of the two countries. But if I have to handle those affairs, I'd be sick to death.”

”Oh, then you're really married to a good wife,” Wang Lu said and then cast a profound glance at Shaman.

The woman gazed affectionately at her husband and said, ”This is A Ye's trust in me. Other people only know that he is incompetent in governing the country and ignorant in the state affairs. But who can really have his easy going attitude and sincere heart? With such a pure heart, it is possible for miracles to happen around him.”

Wang Lu said with a smile, ”You make him sound so good, are you trying to help your husband win me over? I thought that your position wouldn't be this mild.”

Shaman slightly lowered her head, but she actually changed the topic, ”Not long ago, I strongly urged A Ye to go to Grey Mountain. I said to him, the war to contend for the five blood spirits crown has too many variables that even though water and wood are in it together, it can't give us absolute guarantee in security. And among the five forces, the Grey Mountain is the weakest. If we eliminate the Grey Mountain first and collect the power of the earth spirit, then our position would become impregnable. As a matter of fact, even now, I still think that this judgment is not wrong. But since A Ye actually brought you back, obviously he has his own judgment, and I, no matter what, will respect his wishes.”

Wang Lu said, ”Even in terms of true authority, it is clear that you are the Queen that is responsible for the affairs of the two countries, so shouldn't you be the one who decided this?”
