Chapter 1025 (Bi Yue)
"You can't leave me. We're engaged, and wherever you go, I'll follow. I don't care." Although the sky was dim, making it difficult to see the girl's appearance, her voice indicated that she was undoubtedly a beauty. Judging from her silhouette, her figure was also attractive, implying that she probably had a good body.
Indeed, Bi Yue was a genuine beauty and could be considered one of the top beauties in the Demon Capital. She and Jing Wushen were childhood friends, but the gap between them was significant, stemming from their family backgrounds.
Jing Wushen was a royal scion, while Bi Yue was just the daughter of a merchant. They had met on the streets when they were children and eventually became playmates.
Fortunately, Jing Wushen was a devoted person and didn't disappoint Bi Yue. After facing numerous trials and tribulations, he finally convinced his parents to allow him to marry Bi Yue.
To be honest, Bi Yue's looks were absolutely sufficient, but her family background was a bit lacking.
"I really admire you. You're still the same as when you were a child. Speak a bit softer." Jing Wushen appeared mature in front of his father, but when facing the girl he liked, he turned into a child.
Bi Yue held Jing Wushen's large hand. "Wushen, let's go sit on the mountain behind. The night view there is nice. I just checked."
"You." Jing Wushen flicked his fiancée's nose. This woman always considered his preferences in everything. If there was something fun, she would try it first. If it was enjoyable, she would call him; otherwise, she wouldn't mention it.
"Come on~ please~"
"Alright, let's sneak away; we can't let anyone find out." Jing Wushen said seriously.
Bi Yue blinked her naughty eyes, looking very cute.
As if they had agreed upon it, Jing Wushen walked in front, and Bi Yue, dressed in armour and a helmet, followed behind. This situation had happened before; both of them had sneaked away like this in the past.
The camp guards seemed used to it. This young general often did such things, and some old soldiers had watched him grow up. From a young age, he used to take this girl out for fun, and even though she had never changed, they still made a perfect couple.
The two flew directly towards the mountaintop not far away.
Bi Yue took off her helmet, and her beautiful long hair naturally flowed down. Standing behind Jing Wushen, she seemed to have mesmerised him.
Every time he saw Bi Yue take off her helmet, revealing her beautiful hair, he couldn't help but feel that it was incredibly beautiful. It was a sight he could never tire of, especially under the starry sky, making it even more enchanting.
Bi Yue ran on the grass, waving her arms.
"Wushen, what are you standing there for? Come over here." Bi Yue smiled playfully. This fool, he is really cute.
"Oh... okay." Jing Wushen walked over.
"Let's lie down."
"Alright."
Following Bi Yue's command, Jing Wushen lay on the grass, and Bi Yue lay in his arms.
"Is it beautiful?" Bi Yue curiously asked.
Jing Wushen looked at the starry sky. Indeed, it was beautiful. Such a scenery could only be seen on the border; the Demon Capital couldn't offer such a starry sky anymore.
"Beautiful," Jing Wushen said softly.
Bi Yue felt a bit puzzled. Actually, she had noticed that Jing Wushen seemed a bit off since this outing, but afraid that he might find her annoying, she didn't ask.
The conversation between them suddenly fell silent.
"Bi Yue, this war is different from before. You can't continue following me this time, understand?" Jing Wushen spoke in a deep and serious tone, without a hint of joking.
Bi Yue also knew that this time, with five million troops mobilised, the scale was unprecedented. So, she was more worried about Jing Wushen than usual, fearing that something might happen to him.
"Yeah, I understand," Bi Yue whispered. In critical situations, Bi Yue was obedient. She knew how to behave appropriately; when to act cute and when to be sensible.
"You're really good." Jing Wushen smiled faintly and gently stroked Bi Yue's beautiful hair.
Bi Yue asked softly, "Wushen, I always feel uneasy. Why did even my father have to go out this time?"
Jing Wushen didn't want to tell Bi Yue about the dirty conspiracies. He found these things disgusting and didn't want to share them.
"Because this time, we're going to attack someone else. Father is the chief general of the Demon Capital, so, of course, he has to lead the troops," Jing Wushen said with a light laugh, but he understood that this time, it was a plot, and everything was deceptive.
"But, those people didn't provoke us. Why do we have to attack? I don't understand." Bi Yue hoped for peace and didn't want war, but things often didn't go as one wished.
Jing Wushen laughed lightly after hearing her question, "I've been thinking about this question too."
"Wushen, tell me the truth. Is father leading the expedition this time for the sake of mother?"
Jing Wushen admired his fiancée's cleverness. She had noticed this, but it was understandable. Father hadn't been on the battlefield for over a thousand years. He was in a retirement phase, searching for a way to cure during these years, and Bi Yue was aware of these things.
"Bi Yue, rest assured. father and I will take care of mother's matter," Jing Wushen reassured her.
"But I feel that in this family, I'm completely useless. I can only cook for you... I'm so useless." Bi Yue felt a bit self-blaming. She couldn't understand the things that happened in Jing Wushen's family, and sometimes she couldn't even comprehend them.
"Silly girl, I like you not because I want you to help at home. Besides, you've solved our three meals a day, saved our lives; you're the hero of our family," Jing Wushen said.
Upon hearing Jing Wushen's words, Bi Yue was amused, "You just know how to tease me."
"That's my lifelong honour." Jing Wushen's flirting skills were extraordinary. No wonder Bi Yue was so devoted.
Suddenly, a strange smell reached their noses.
"Wushen, do you smell a strange odour?" Bi Yue frowned. What was this smell? It was terrible.
Jing Wushen also smelled it. It had just been the fragrance of grass, and now it changed.
What was this smell? Jing Wushen stood up, feeling the wind...
Then, he looked to the right and saw a faint spark in the darkness, emitting blue smoke. It seemed to be a figure!
Jing Wushen was shocked! When did this person arrive? He didn't even sense it!
After the shock, Jing Wushen immediately pulled Bi Yue behind him and vigilantly watched the figure in the dark.
Bi Yue also noticed the figure, her gaze filled with curiosity. This person didn't seem like a bad guy. If he were, he would have attacked earlier.
