Chapter 723: 723

Chapter 723: Good.

With An Shaoning healed, Lou Qianxue was relieved. She had completed something weighing on her mind for a long time.

In the evening, Lou Qianxue sat on her bed. “Now… I can finally leave with a peace of mind. I hope this battle will end quickly…”

She cultivated for a moment and felt sleepy. As she laid her head on the headboard, she looked out the window. “Why is Dan Taiyuan not here yet…”

Gradually…

She closed her eyes, her dense eyelashes completely covering them. Her breathing became slow and paced…

A while later,

Creak!

A sound came from the window.

“Hmm?” Lou Qianxue was unalarmed. She opened her bleary eyes and saw the man’s handsome face. Her lips unconsciously curled into a smile. “You’re here…”

The man’s slender figure walked to her bed.

Just as he stood still, Lou Qianxue automatically entered his embrace. “You’re so late… I’m tired.”

The handsome, dreamy man gazed down at the pliant woman, who looked beautiful asleep, and felt touched.

Tian Zhao Empire’s strongest person of the young generation.

The strongest person after Emperor Ying.

How many people in this world would ever get to see her lovable side?

With a mental cue, his clothes undressed by themselves.

He carefully picked her up as if he were carrying a treasure and laid her on the bed.

His fingers caressed her cheeks.

As he caressed her, he suddenly remembered that this was not the true appearance of his little pet. Thus, he waved his hand, showing half of her face that appeared even more heart-stoppingly beautiful than before.

Meanwhile, gnarly scars from a burn covered the other half of her face.

His eyes slowly turned bloodshot, and he lowered his head to lightly press his lips on the scars…

Lou Qianxue suddenly woke up.

“Dan Taiyuan.”

“Yeah,” the man responded.

“Have you found your spirit bones?”

“I’ve found out that someone is backing the woman.”

“!” Lou Qianxue became completely awake. She quickly hugged his hand. With an almost petulant voice, she said, “Accompany me to the border. We’ll force the mastermind behind her out after returning, okay?”

The soft pillowy touch on his arm distracted the man, and his fingers automatically moved down.

“Alright.”

He flipped on top of her and said that with a hoarse voice while biting on her exquisite collarbone.

The next day…

The troops were ready to set off!

Emperor Ying personally came to the gates of the Imperial city to send off the troops.

At the same time, a piece of news broke out in the empire.

“The general for the expedition is the Crown Prince!”

“Crown Prince!”

“The Crown Prince, who was sick and bedridden, has been completely healed by ‘Jade-Masked Blast’! However, he felt guilty about not doing anything for the citizens of the Tian Zhao Empire. So, he requested to join the war!”

This piece of news moved the citizens of Tian Zhao, and they rushed to the gates to send off the Crown Prince.

Eventually, the troops set off under the expected gazes of the Emperor Ying and the citizens of Tian Zhao.

On that night,

“Miss Lou, I might have to trouble you on our journey to the border.”

The Crown Prince kept a light smile on his pale, sickly face. “This time, we have two battles, one conspicuous and the other hidden!”

Lou Qianxue nodded.

The conspicuous one was the war with the Nandu Nation.

The hidden one was a battle with the Third Prince.

“From the moment we set off, we have entered the battlefield. Both you and I have to be prepared.”

“Yeah.”

As a member of the special forces in her past life, Lou Qianxue had a special feeling for the troops. Traveling with the troops did not agonize her. Instead, she felt like a fish in the water, thoroughly comfortable. “Your Highness, since the battle has already begun, I have a suggestion. But I’m not sure if I should share it with you.”
