Emotional Confession

  I furrowed my brow and stared coldly into his eyes, "What kind of curse did the Emperor put on him? Is there an antidote for the curse you cast?"

  He gritted his teeth, carefully and gently holding me in his arms, "No! I know you'll go find the old doctor to cure him of the Gu, so I had no choice but to kill him! From now on, this method of curing the Gu is extinct!"

  "I said in a low voice, 'Is this also the reason why you will let him go with me? I thought you were at ease, but unexpectedly, you rushed over in just a few days. What's going on? Is there nothing happening in the court? How can the Emperor be away for a long time?"

  He smiled faintly and said, "I'm not at ease! As long as he's around, I won't be at ease! Although he was once my love rival, if he really went onto the battlefield, he would make a great companion! A sworn brother who could stand together until death! A powerful warrior! I've heard that the Demon Dragon King's martial arts are unparalleled, so I sent him and the others to come, just thinking that if the Demon Dragon King made a move against you, they could protect you. But unexpectedly, you still acted impulsively! Don't you know there's a saying called 'leading the troops personally'? For my dragon son's safe birth, for my woman, I have no choice but to take the field!" After speaking, he kissed her, and then covered her with a passionate embrace.

  I desperately dodged, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape his lips. His mustache was thick and prickly, leaving an unexpected stinging sensation on my skin. The warmth of his lips sent shivers down my spine, making me squeal as I tried to pull away. But somehow, he managed to pin my lips down with precision. In a low, husky voice, he growled between our lips, "Don't be naughty anymore! Don't do this again!"

  "I will! Ryūdo! Before giving birth to your dragon child, I won't do anything that would worry you again!" I muttered under my breath.

  "He muttered, 'Really? Really? Can you swear?' His lips brushed against my earlobe."

  "I whispered, 'I can! I can swear!' Pushing against his chest, but unable to resist his exploration, our clothes were stripped away, and with one thrust, I couldn't help but let out a low growl like a beast. It was as if we were newlyweds again, he trembled all over, excitedly surging inside me. The child also kicked its legs in sync. A deadly pleasure, like a tidal wave, responded to his passion."

  Deep breaths, the fetus in my abdomen slowly calmed down, gently stroking, I could clearly feel their growth. I lay on the embroidered bed, with a silk quilt under my head, and softly said, "Long Nuyue, you've come, is it because you're afraid that I'll be too tired from carrying our dragon child all by myself?"

  He stared blankly, suddenly turning his back on me, without a word. Had he fallen asleep? I gazed at his back, staring blankly at him. But I could clearly feel that he was furious! Extremely furious!

  But what for? Ah! Is it for his pearl, is it? Slowly holding my head, I hummed and turned over. He doesn't care about me, so I'll care about him? I thought hatefully. Unable to bear, I bit the corner of my lip.

  In the darkness, he let out a long sigh, as if it was endless pain! What is he in pain about? Is it like mine, painful to see the one you love but can't be with them? In his heart, there's a faint ache, at least to say, the one he loves hasn't forgotten him.

  That feeling of being forgotten by the one you love, that heart-wrenching pain, will he know it? Looking at Ylang-Ylang, will he feel the same pain as me? If I didn't have this pearl in my belly, would we still be as intimate as we are now? Would we still be like a normal couple, sweet and loving?

  Will he still care about me like this in the future?

  For some reason, although I thought of escaping from him far away, this will was not so strong at this time. Women are like this, once they have a relationship with men, they become weak. In the heart, no matter how much hatred and annoyance, there will be a sense of concern for this man!

  I have a relationship with Long Nuyue, because of the child in my belly, we are infinitely close! I hate him, but also care about him! Because he is the father of the child in my belly! This is what it means to be a woman! Men can ignore women, but women can never do that! Even if they appear carefree, the one who always ends up looking back at the other person's back is always the woman!

  I'm no exception either! I'm just an ordinary woman too!

  Silently staring at his back, we both had our own thoughts. The night, has just begun.

  He seemed to notice my gaze, slowly turning his head back, in the darkness, his black eyes stared at me silently. I didn't dare look at him, afraid of seeing the coldness in his eyes.

  Why should I be afraid of him? I furrowed my brow, raised my eyes and stared at him. His face was very close, so close that I could see the smile spreading across his phoenix-like eyes. The slightly upturned corners of his mouth showed his good mood! What is he happy about? In this situation, shouldn't he be furious, saying unpleasant things to provoke me into a quarrel, and then we would both ignore each other? Or even better, he should storm off to spend the night with another concubine! How could he possibly be smiling?! His eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy.

  "What are you laughing at!" I said coldly. "Why don't you rush out? What's the point of lying here? Hurry up and go to another concubine! Am I familiar with you?" As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted it. I was like a nagging wife, hoping to get a man's attention! How despicable! My face flushed bright red, fortunately hidden in the darkness, or else I would have died from embarrassment!

  He raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, "You want me to go stay with another concubine? But how can I do that? In the Imperial Dragon Army, you are my only concubine! It seems that previously in the palace, I neglected you. Alright, to make up for it, on the day of the expedition, I will spend every night here!"

  "Who wants you to stay here! Can't you understand? I want you to go to another concubine's place! Don't bother me here! Hurry up and leave! Let people know that there is a man in the commander's camp, what does it count for!"

  He chuckled, "But there's only one commander-in-chief! And besides, they've known you're my dragon empress for a long time. The dragon empress sleeping with the dragon emperor is nothing strange! Besides, isn't it too late to say this now? What should and shouldn't be done has already been done!" His gaze slowly slid over my body, his eyes flashing with desire and something more complex.

  My face turned bright red as I loudly said, "How can Your Majesty say such things! Isn't this all for the sake of Long'er?"

  The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "I thought you and I both enjoyed the fun in it!"

  My face turned red with anger, but for a moment I couldn't say anything. He was right, I did enjoy the fun! Crazy! "It's because of Long Er!" I said stubbornly. But my voice wasn't as loud as it was just now.

  He didn't speak, covering my humming mouth. Struggling ceaselessly, he pinned down my disobedient hands on his head, making our bodies even closer! The two sensitive points leaned against his chest hair, which was as solid as a fortress, impenetrable. The hard sensation made one even more excited.

  Lips, downward. Kneecaps opened wide to defend the forbidden land of legs, a determined assault on the ground. The wooden bed board creaked and screamed, as if he wasn't satisfied with loving me once, but loved me again and again, as if determined to make me beg for mercy, I bit my teeth, refusing to open my mouth. He was like fighting a war with me, battling all night long. Until the break of dawn, I was exhausted, falling into a deep sleep.

  He really did what he said, and he personally came to conquer! From that day on, the two of us seemed to have an unspoken agreement, neither mentioning Ylang nor Long Yunya, as if they were each other's forbidden territory, untouchable by either of us.

  His approach is different from mine, he only wants success, as for how to succeed and at what cost, it seems that it has never been within his consideration! As soon as he came, he put aside the matter of attacking Luoye Island and attacked Huoyan Island first. I quarreled with him until the sky was upside down, but couldn't change his mind. During the day, we quarreled fiercely, sometimes even starting a real fight, and it's possible to have a one-on-one duel.

  By nightfall, the passion doubles, the more fiercely they quarrel in the daytime, the more fiercely they fight, and at night, it's like a competition to see who has more enthusiasm, who can stay up later! And so, after countless disputes, they took down Flame Island.

  "Hahaha! Hahaha! I've never seen so many treasures in my life! It's really great! Lüe Yā is right! Without money, taking down the Pirate Island will do! I see a fortune rolling in!" Long Lièyā laughed with a smile, pointing at the money and laughing loudly.

  I furrowed my brow, "Little Flame Island, how can it have so many treasures?"

  "He laughed loudly and said, 'Because Flame Island is the richest of all pirate islands!'"

  "You probably don't know that under Flame Island, there is a gold vein connected to the Huangguo! So, the gold here can be said to be inexhaustible! Rather than worrying about how to save money, it's better to take down the richest island first! All military expenses will then be easily resolved!"

  "I'm from Evil Dragon Island, I still don't know which Flame Island has the most wealth, how do you know!" I said in disbelief.

  He curled his lips and smiled calmly. "Someone told me! I can only tell you that the person who gave me the news is very reliable, that's all! And we've also solved the problem of military expenses, haven't we? How about it, Long Fei, do you still want to go out and have a one-on-one duel with me again?"

  My face turned red, Yu's head raised, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Trying to ignore his haha laughter!

  "Really twisted!" he said. Twisted! He's the one who's twisted! I thought resentfully. "Is that your spy?" I asked again.

  He curled up the corners of his lips and said calmly, "It's Ylang!" His lip corners slightly rose. That was a victorious arc. I was shocked with my mouth agape, Ylang!

  "What on earth is she up to!" I exclaimed in shock, shouting loudly, "Long Nu Jia, order the troops to retreat! Quickly! Withdraw from Flame Island!" After saying that, he grabbed his sword and flew away!

  He quietly followed me, shouting, "What are you doing! That day she was just talking about the islands connected to various countries! So coincidentally said here! Hanmei! What are you doing!"

  "It's a trap! Long Nuo, I told you earlier that Bing Lan is the Demon Dragon King. How could he possibly give us such good news? Quickly order the Divine Dragon Army to retreat from Flame Island!" I exclaimed loudly.

  His face was ashen, his eyes fixed on me with a scowl. After a long while, he finally spoke, "I thought we had argued enough about this! Until the Flame Island was taken down, you still told me that Ylang is the Dragon King of Magic! You just said it again, how could the Dragon King of Magic possibly give a large sum of wealth to this Dragon King of God? Has she gone mad? Or does she simply want the Dragon Clan of God to win?"

  I stopped in my tracks, turned around and said, "I don't want to quarrel with you! If you want to believe her, then go ahead and trust her! What I need to protect has never been you! Long Nuyue! If it weren't for the child, do you think I would bother with you? If you lose, my child will be the first person they'll want to kill! Long Nuyue, think carefully!" My voice was both angry and urgent, determined that if he didn't listen to me this time, I would never bother with him again!

  He said in a low voice, "If we occupy this island, what will happen?"

  I snorted coldly, "I don't know! Anyway, Long Nu Ya, withdraw your troops now! Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

  He twitched the corner of his mouth, and after a long while, he said in a low voice, "I'll listen to you this once!" After that, he shouted loudly, "Withdraw from Flame Island! Retreat ten miles, surround the island for three days!"

  That is to say, three days later if there is no movement, he will still occupy the island! Three days! Enough! I thought to myself.

  Within three days, something will definitely happen on Volcano Island!

  Time passed slowly in the long and anxious wait. I couldn't figure out what Iceland was trying to do! Did she go crazy giving away so much military funding to Longnü Jia? I scratched my head, unable to make sense of it!

  "Miss! If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore! This matter is inexplicable. The Dragon King's thoughts are intricate and cunning, Miss, although your thoughts are also meticulous, but no matter what, they're not as good as hers!"

  I sprang up from the deck, gazing at Flame Island in the distance. I was speechless! On the surface of the sea, small bubbles were rising, and I couldn't understand why. I furrowed my brow; this kind of bubble only appears in summer, so why would it appear on a day like today? It seemed as if the seawater had been boiled by the flames!

  "Quickly! Raise anchor and set sail!"

  Long Nu Ya's face turned iron-green as he shouted, "What are you going to do now?!"

  "Dragon Anger Brook! Listen to me! Hurry up and leave! Hurry back! How many people did you bring here, she calculated it accurately, you will tell me that this news was given by her, she also calculated it accurately! You will retreat ten miles and guard here, she also calculated it accurately! If you don't leave now, your whole army will be annihilated!"

  He furrowed his brow, slowly raised his hand and reached for my forehead, but I shook it off with a scowl. This feeling of being mistrusted and powerless was infuriating! Earlier, killing the wine ghost and letting me solo on Evil Dragon Island was just to let Long Nu Jiao come over, snatch my command token, and make me unable to get any response from the Divine Dragon Army?

  Long Yuyan and Long Yunyan stood behind him, staring at me with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. Long Yu said in a hoarse voice, "Imperial sister-in-law! Just listen to imperial brother's words! Imperial brother has been the commander-in-chief for so many years and fought in so many naval battles, just don't make trouble!"

  I don't want to make a fuss? Am I a child? Do I make a fuss? I was so angry that my whole body trembled, and I shouted loudly, "Your brother has been fighting at sea for many years, but he still lost 500,000 troops to me! A defeated general!"

  His face changed. I rushed out quickly. I'm going crazy! Want to go crazy! What can be said with this man? I thought angrily.

  Binglan, you want to destroy the Divine Dragon Army, but they still treat you like a treasure. I want to save the Divine Dragon Army, but he sees me as a venomous snake! Binglan! Goodbye!

  "What's the point of fighting? Imperial sister! Big brother has already made concessions to you, withdrawing troops for ten miles." Long Yunya gazed calmly at the horizon.

  "Don't you believe me either, Yun Ya?" I said softly and plaintively.

  He paused for a moment, his phoenix eyes fixed on me, "Imperial Sister-in-law! You!"

  "Look! Yun Jia, what's that?" I said in a low voice, pointing to the water under the boat. "How can there be such small bubbles on a winter day? And don't you think it's really hot today?"

  His complexion changed. After a while, he said, "Imperial sister! It's just that Big Brother won't listen to you at all right now!"

  "Empress! To save Shen Longjun, it's not impossible!"

  I raised my head, staring blankly at his flying white hair, and rushed towards Longnuyi. "Longnuyi! The three-day appointment is cancelled! I admit it, Binglan's words were right! With so many treasures not collected, we would be fools." I said loudly.

  Long Nuyue's lips curled up in a triumphant smile as he shouted loudly, "Set sail, we're heading to Flame Island!"

  The boat moved like this, whether it was right or wrong to enter the Flame Island, I didn't know. After these few encounters, I could gradually figure out Yuelan's habits! She could almost accurately guess everyone's personality!

  What she says and what she does! Everything is in her grasp! To deal with such a person, one can only resort to extraordinary measures!

  A bet! This is a life-and-death gamble! I'm betting my own life against hers! The lives of the Dragon God Army, even the entire Dragon God Clan, are all on the line in this bet against her!

  The ship was in the harbor, I raised my head and looked at the straight and sharp volcanic mouth of Flame Island. At this time and place, the land on Flame Island had already heated up a bit! The reason why it's called Flame Island is that there's a towering volcano like a cannon mouth on the east side of the island! I don't know when the volcano will take lives, but judging from Iceland's actions, it should be in one or two days.

  The Old Heaven once said that the greatest regret of this life is that among his books that include everything, there isn't a single one that records volcanic activity! So I can only guess based on Iceland's actions.

  This is different from divination and astrology, I have a clear plan in mind. But this matter, I'm just relying on imagination!

  Hand lightly touched the ground of Huoyan Island, slightly furrowed her brow. Guiyue said in a low voice, "Miss! Is it...the underground fire dragon?"

  I curled up the corners of my lips. I whispered, "As expected! In this kind of weather, where does such heat come from!"

  It's probably just a matter of these one or two days! The conditions here are so harsh, how did they survive?" I furrowed my brow and lowered my head. After a while, the corners of my lips slowly bloomed with a smile, and I said loudly, "Ghost Moon! Tell the brothers not to set up camp, and have all the original Red Flame Island ships towed out and docked in their harbor! Let them move back into their old houses! Remember, only live in houses that are over 10 years old! All new houses are abandoned!"

  It's not without reason that they can survive for so long in this environment. Their houses, although rough, have a history of over ten years! A house like this can stand for ten years without collapsing, it must be in an excellent location! Needless to say, it's a location that can avoid volcanic eruptions!

  This time, Long Nuyue did not stop me. He just raised an eyebrow and stared at me quietly! This is the biggest war between the Demon Dragon Clan and the Divine Dragon Clan! And it's a one-sided war between the Divine Dragon Clan and the Volcanic Heaven Hazard! I didn't have time to bother with him. Just as I was about to leave, he said in a low voice, "There are many new houses on the island!"

  I was stunned, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, rubbed my forehead, as if I were Ice Lan, would she think of my plan? Would she have anticipated that I would come to the island to take refuge?

  If I were Iceland, yes! Then! Then! You jumped up in surprise, and I loudly shouted, "Ghost Moon! Ghost Moon!"

  Kui Yue flashed over and bowed his head, saying in a low voice, "What's wrong, miss?"

  "What the devil! Why is this house old, but the mud in it is new?" I frowned. This doesn't make any sense at all! Unless... My lips twitched slightly, and I trembled with rage. Binglan! You woman, are you even human?! Did you even think of this too?!

  "Pass it down, everyone move into the new house!" I said loudly.

  There are over a thousand households on the island, with new houses occupying most of them. An island, why did they suddenly build new houses all at once? There is only one reason! Lured me into the trap!

  On this day, dark clouds gathered and the sea was turbulent. I ordered the soldiers not to leave their houses. By midnight, a violent storm had started around Flame Island, with waves as high as 100 feet. Flame Island was waiting for its final moment in the wind and rain! Long Nü's face looked terrible.

  From that day on, the two of us never quarreled again. The Long brothers gathered together, under the table, our hands tightly clasped together. Until midnight, the volcano erupted with a loud bang. The ground shook! I couldn't stop trembling. Not knowing if what I did was right or wrong. He held me tightly in his arms, but his eyes were fixed tightly on Long Yunya!

  "I shouted loudly, 'Everyone put out your hands, I believe that with the protection of the dragon son, nothing will happen to anyone!' After saying that, I stretched out my hands and Long Nuyue looked at me for a moment before firmly grasping my hand. Long Yunque also followed suit and grasped my other hand. Long Yuanye then grasped Long Yunque's hand, while Long Lieyue grasped Long Nuyue's hand. Like this, we formed a circle, tightly holding hands."

  "I believe, I won't die! My child won't die either! The Demon Dragon King wants to take us down with one blow, but after this battle, we'll make her fall into disarray and never be able to get back up!" I declared loudly and firmly.

  "Destroy the Demon Dragon Clan!" Long Nu Ya exclaimed loudly.

  The two of us said it, and gave several people confidence, they also followed loudly saying, "Destroy the Magic Dragon Clan!"

  Time has passed like this, bit by bit! Nobody slept.

  On the second day, the volcano finally stopped its activity. I checked the number of Shenlong Army and it was exactly one! But those old houses were all knocked down by volcanic rocks! I won! Yilan! This time, I won!

  I raised an eyebrow and said loudly, "Prince Mu Feng! Hurry up and find some food, this good volcanic rock is just right for roasting fish!"

  He burst out laughing, and together with Long Rui, they leaped into the air! This time, I won, but what about next time? If Long Nuyue still trusts her, then she will always put the Divine Dragon Army in a desperate situation. Outside the island is a sea of waves as high as a hundred feet, even if we win, it's just a small victory! We'll also be trapped on the island and can't get out! My face turned pale, trapped on the island and unable to escape!

  "What's wrong, miss?" Katsuragi whispered.

  "Ghost Moon! Back when I was on Evil Dragon Island, I told you that the world is more beautiful because of the existence of rivals. Among the Long brothers, one is Long Nü Yue... now it seems that Long Yun Yue was just someone who hadn't crossed paths with me back then! And now they've become my allies! But now, my rival has appeared!" I smiled calmly and sincerely, "Things are getting more and more interesting!" At first, I was too flustered! I was actually a bit afraid of her because of Longzi's relationship! But now, I'm not afraid at all!

  "Miss's opponent is actually the Dragon King?" Guifeng smiled calmly.

  "Yes! Although we are both women, it's amazing how much admiration you inspire! Far surpassing many men! And yet, you still retain the delicacy of a woman! I too was born on the battlefield, but I'm far inferior to you! Look at me, Kikyo! I've become almost indistinguishable from a man, whether in personality or appearance!" I smiled calmly.

  "Miss is the most beautiful in Guī Yuè's heart!"

  I raised an eyebrow, smiling faintly. "But I have to admit, she's indeed very beautiful! Such a cold and icy beauty, such a blue-tinged beauty! Six months ago, she was Long Nu Ya's lover, and I was the mistress of Evil Dragon Island - we were destined not to be friends. Six months later, she became the Demon Dragon King, while I became Long Nu Ya's consort... We still can't be friends! If it weren't for our differing stances, she would have been my best friend for life!

  The most admirable friend! Even if he were an enemy, he would be a respectable one!"

  The ghostly figure stared at me in silence for a long time.

  How could he possibly understand such a feeling? Same circumstances, same abilities, I admire her! Even if she has a vendetta against me for killing her father, she's still a worthy opponent! "A person without an opponent is lonely!"

  But that loneliness disappeared with her arrival!

  I believe she has the same feeling for me!

  "Miss, how did you know it's time to leave the old house and move into a new one?" asked Gui Yue Mi Gan.

  I smiled calmly and said in a low voice, "New houses are all rebuilt on the foundation of old houses, so new houses are actually old houses! Old houses are actually new houses! Guiyue, release the carrier pigeon! Binglan! You've been scheming for so long, it's time to strike back! Otherwise, you'll feel lonely too, won't you?"

  And I, how can I make her feel lonely? Iceland! Iceland! You are really a place that makes people love and hate at the same time!

  At this moment, I still can't go out to sea. I stand on the coast, staring fixedly at the sea surface. The cold wind blows up my cloak, and in the chilly wind, I almost can't stand upright. My body is suddenly wrapped from behind, and Long Nüyǎ says softly, "Looking at the sea like this is very cold!"

  I didn't turn back, whispering softly, "It's hot on the island! I don't feel cold!" Trying to struggle free from his body, he tightly wrapped himself around me. His lips bit my earlobe. In my ear, he whispered softly, "Don't move! Let me hold you like this!"

  I furrowed my brow. This person, where is the Dragon Anger Chasm! The Dragon Anger Chasm, how could it appear in such a weak posture! I didn't speak, and truly froze my body in place.

  His whole body was trembling. Warm lips, gently kissing my neck. His hands were caressing my chest, and he was so excited! What's wrong with him? I wanted to turn around, but his hand covered my eyes. The other hand slipped into the collar of my clothes, trembling lightly, whispering "Hanjunmei! Hanjunmei! Hanjunmei!"

  He, as if for the first time, was emotionally moved! I couldn't help but furrow my brow. I stretched out my hand to remove his hand from covering my eyes, only to find that he was holding on incredibly tightly. "Let me go!" I said in a hoarse voice.

  He didn't say a word, tightly embracing me, letting me feel his burning passion. At this moment! Still outside!

  I gritted my teeth, just about to make a move, when suddenly my body couldn't move in a strange way! "What the hell! Let me go quickly! What kind of ghost is this?" Has he gone mad? Can't be thinking of doing it here?!

  The hand that covered my eyes was suddenly released, and I saw clearly that his sleeve was white! I was shocked, just as I was about to speak, but he sealed my lips with a kiss.

  He carefully depicted the shape of my lips, whispering urgently, "Hanmei!"

  "Have you remembered? Long Yunya! Have you remembered everything? Is that so?" I asked hastily. If he weren't unable to move, at this moment, I would have definitely grabbed him and questioned him clearly.

  "Don't keep saying that!" He grasped my shoulder, loudly and urgently, "I don't want to hear you say that again! No matter what happened before, I don't care whose child is in your belly. In short, I want you, just like this!" After speaking, he came to kiss me.

  I frowned in disappointment, Yu bit his lip and whispered, "What are you talking about! The child in my belly is your fourth brother's!"

  He laughed, taking a step back, "Fourth brother? It's precisely because you're his woman that I want you! When I was transferring the dragon energy to you, I asked myself, why, why can't this child in your belly be mine?! Clearly, it should be mine! Afterwards, when you were with fourth brother in the room, I knew all about it!

  Also, I almost went mad! Can you be with him like that but not with me? Last night, you also held my hand like that! From then on, I decided that no matter what means I would use, I would never let him snatch anything from me again!"

  My face turned pale. Everything went back to six months ago, he fell in love with me because of Long Nuyue!

  He gently stroked my cheek, wiping away my tears, and whispered, "I believe I once loved you! Deeply etched in my heart! Not the love for the empress, not the love for family, but... a man's love for a woman! That possessiveness! I clearly felt my desire to possess you! I wanted to make you mine! To love you like he did! Day and night, entwined together! I wanted you to bear my child!" His voice was laced with despair. Suddenly, he swept me up in his arms, his voice hoarse as he said, "And now, I don't want to think about it anymore, I want to truly have you!"
