It is said that a short break is better than a newlywed. Although the two are not married yet and they will video chat from time to time, the two have indeed not seen each other for a long time since Long Jiu left the Imperial Star.
This time Long Jiu finally came back when he was free, and Xiao Tingyun became very clingy. No matter what Long Jiu did, he would follow him every step of the way. Even if Long Jiu ate something, he would stand by and watch intently.
No, this is a rare time for Long Jiu to come back. After the two of them finished talking, she clamored for the delicious food cooked by the imperial chef and ordered nearly twenty dishes in one go. It was as if she had never had a full meal on the Red Rock Star. Similar.
Xiao Tingyun really believed her lies and felt very distressed. People who didn't know better thought that Long Jiu had suffered terribly in Hongyan Star.
Although Hongyan Star is relatively remote and not as prosperous as the God City Star, the food is not bad at all. Xiao Tingyun was turning on the faint king mode at this time, so he selectively forgot about the Long Family Army. The fact is that his treatment is actually the best among all the legions of the empire.
Others would miss someone's life at first sight, but when it came to Xiao Tingyun, Long Jiu was selectively mentally retarded at first sight. However, he didn't realize it himself, and even wished he could grow eight hands in an attempt to give him the apex of his heart in one meal. Gain ten pounds.
Especially when he heard that Long Jiu was going to "purchase" gifts for Zhou Xinyu, Xiao Tingyun simply waved his hand and handed over this task to Lu Wei.
Since Xiao Tingyun succeeded to the throne, Lu Wei has become the executive officer of the new emperor. His official position may not seem to be high, but his power is terrifying. Sometimes he can even make decisions on political affairs on behalf of the emperor.
Since the new emperor succeeded to the throne, Lu Wei has been a popular figure in front of the emperor. Even in the court meetings, many ministers were very polite when they saw him.
It's a pity that as soon as Long Jiu came back, the popular fried chicken immediately became an errand boy again. However, Lu Wei himself didn't have any objections. When he heard that he was running errands for Long Jiu, this indifferent executive who had always been emotionless ran faster than anyone else. , and also very considerate.
Xiao Tingyun stared at Lu Wei's attentive back, then looked sourly at Xin Jianjian who was immersed in food next to him. His tone was as if he had drank a bottle of vinegar, and he asked with a sour taste: "When will you Do you have such a good relationship with him?"
Long Jiu looked confused: "???"
Xiao Tingyun said sourly: "Lu Wei has been with me for more than ten years. This is the first time I have seen him be so attentive to someone other than me. As soon as I heard that he was helping you buy things, the coldness on his body disappeared. .”
Long Jiu looked at the sour Xiao Tingyun in confusion, not knowing where his sourness came from, "Isn't it because he is so attentive because it is your order?"
Xiao Tingyun sneered and became sour: "I have given him similar orders before, but he always had a cold face. Although he could complete the orders obediently, he didn't care about the person he wanted to help. But he doesn’t have a good look on his face.”
Long Jiu choked and saw that he looked so sour that he was about to deform. She handed over a bread crab in her hand and motioned for him to crack it open while saying silently: "The reason why I think he is so attentive to me." , probably because he has seen how powerful I am, and he can't beat me."
After all, she opened a space rift in front of Lu Wei and ran to rescue Xiao Tingyun, who was still the Crown Prince at the time.
Long Jiu felt that as long as he was a normal person, he would probably be very attentive to her after knowing her identity.
Lu Wei is one, and so is Lin Yunzhou.
After thinking of Lin Yunzhou, Long Jiu remembered something he had forgotten before.
She looked at Xiao Tingyun who was peeling crab shells for her honestly, and suddenly felt guilty, "That..."
His Majesty the Emperor, who was focused on peeling crab shells, looked up after hearing this.
Long Jiu felt even more guilty. She touched the tip of her nose and her eyes wandered, but she did not continue to speak.
From Xiao Tingyun's understanding of her, he couldn't tell that this was a sign of her guilty conscience. She immediately narrowed her eyes and became wary.
Xiao Tingyun looked at her warily and suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Long Jiu's eyes were rolling, but she refused to look at him. Her behavior made Xiao Tingyun even more vigilant.
Xiao Tingyun asked warily: "Have you done anything to feel sorry for me?"
"No..." Long Jiu originally wanted to deny it, but she was no longer sure after she denied it. She said with a guilty look on her face: "I'm not too sorry for you, that's all."
Seeing her hesitating, Xiao Tingyun immediately asked: "What is it?"
Long Jiu cleared his throat, then looked at him with a serious face and said, "Don't get excited yet. This matter is neither big nor small. When Major General Lin and the others were in danger on the Red Star, You also know, right? You also know that I rushed to the rescue alone, but when I was reporting to you and the veterans of the military department, some things were not elaborated on. "
Xiao Tingyun had a bad premonition and asked, "What about?"
Long Jiu smiled at him: "For example, I transformed into a dragon directly in front of Lin Yunzhou and those ten thousand soldiers."
Xiao Tingyun: "!!!!!!"
Transform into a dragon directly in front of Lin Yunzhou and 10,000 Long Family Army soldiers? !
Xiao Tingyun felt bad after hearing this, but he felt heartbroken when he saw Long Jiu's guilty look on his face. He could only digest it silently in his heart for a while, and then said with difficulty: "So your identity Can’t hide it anymore?”
Long Jiu quickly took his own juice and gave him a sip, calming his shock, and then nodded: "Although only Lin Yunzhou and the others know about it for the time being, I don't think this matter can be kept secret for long, after all, so many people are watching it with their own eyes. .”
Xiao Tingyun slowly swallowed the juice in his mouth, but he was already worried about it in his heart. He asked unhurriedly: "Does the commander have any ideas?"
Long Jiu curled his lips when he heard this, "What kind of idea could he have? He has never thought about this issue at all."
Even if he knew that she had transformed into a dragon in public on Red Star, the old man was as steady as an old dog, as if this matter had never happened at all. Let alone what he had in mind, he didn't even ask.
Xiao Tingyun, on the other hand, glanced at her and became as steady as an old dog. He said calmly: "The commander-in-chief has no idea. He is ready to leave this matter to me with full authority."
Long Jiu was stunned, "How do you say that?"
Xiao Tingyun smiled helplessly: "You can't hide the fact that you transformed into a dragon in public for long. Once your identity is exposed, it will attract a lot of attention. There is an old saying in humans that people who are not my race will have different hearts. Even if you Now holding the identity of Long Jiujiu will also arouse the jealousy and suspicion of many people. The commander-in-chief can protect you, but he cannot protect you for long. After all, many people will judge others by themselves, even if they know that you are on the side of human beings. On this side, driven by interests, they will think that although you are on the side of humans, you are closer to the Long family, otherwise why would you appear as Longjiujiu."
Long Jiu was thoughtful.
Xiao Tingyun smiled faintly: "So the commander-in-chief simply leaves it to me to handle, because I am more suitable to handle this matter than the commander-in-chief."
Long Jiu asked in confusion: "Why?"
Xiao Tingyun pushed the peeled bread crab to her on the plate and said with a smile: "Because I am the emperor and the master of the Xingluo Empire. As long as I insist, you will be my fiancée, no matter you are Longjiujiu or Longjiu , no matter you are a human or a dragon, so many objections are useless. Even if I know that you are close to the Long family, but if you are my fiancée, and even the future queen of the empire, then no matter how incredible you are, This huge benefit also falls on the empire, not the Long family, so the more powerful you are, the happier those talents will be."
Long Jiu nodded thoughtfully, finally understanding the twists and turns.
Although the dignitaries in the empire will be jealous and suspicious of her, in fact, they care more about their own interests. If she is Long Jiu of the Long family, then those dignitaries will definitely label themselves as heretics, because her existence will Making the Long family the fear of everyone will also make the Long family an insurmountable mountain for all the nobles in the Star Luo Empire. They will be suppressed by the Long family who owns her and will never be able to stand up. This is obviously involved. It’s about the self-interests of these powerful people.
But if she does not entirely belong to the Long family, but also belongs to the royal family, or to the emperor, this will make the powerful people ecstatic, because her existence will make the Xingluo Empire even more powerful. , and when the Xingluo Empire gets better, these dignitaries will naturally follow suit.
After thinking about this, Long Jiu immediately snorted angrily: "You humans are really heartbroken."
Xiao Tingyun chuckled and did not deny what his heart said. After all, humans have always been like this.
Long Jiu didn't bother to think about the bad things involved. Anyway, she had promised Long Jiujiu to protect the Long family and the bad old man. As long as Xiao Jiujiu was not hurt by the Long family and the bad old man, she would not care about those people. What's the plan?
"I'll say the ugly things first. I don't care about your human schemes. As long as you don't plot against the Long family and don't mess with me, I'll be fine." Long Jiu snorted, "If anyone dares to make evil plans against me in the future, Or the Long Family, I won’t give you face, if you make me anxious, I will blow up your Imperial Capital Star first.”
Xiao Tingyun smiled and nodded when he heard this. Not to mention that Long Jiu would be rude and dared to plot against Long Jiu. If she didn't want to blow him up, she would blow him up.
But Xiao Tingyun couldn't help but ask: "What if I plot against you?"
Long Jiu looked at him sideways, and then sneered: "What else can I do? I chose you to be my partner. I can only make do with it. Should we divorce?"
Xiao Tingyun was amused by her words. He nodded pretending to be happy and said: "That's something we can't leave. We can only make do with it."
After saying this, both of them became happy again.
Long Jiu was amused and muttered: "If I had known earlier, I should have restrained myself and not been so promiscuous."
She just said this, not to mention that she didn't believe it, and neither did Xiao Tingyun.
Xiao Tingyun suppressed a smile and asked, "Can you bear it?"
Long Jiu thought about it seriously and shook his head regretfully: "I can't help it."
She has never known what restraint is since she broke out of her shell. It is simply impossible for her to hold back. The Dragon Clan is blessed with great strength. It can defeat most living creatures in the wilderness without training. , and she is the only child of the Lord of the Dragon Clan. She was loved by heaven when she was born, and she was directly named the Dragon King of the Four Seas. She took on the fate of the four seas at the age of a young dragon. She did not do anything in the wilderness back then. If she doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, even Heaven turns a blind eye to her. Naturally, she is even less able to learn what it means to be restrained. In the wilderness, she was so wild that her skin went to the sky. Now in this interstellar world There is no one or thing in the world that can make her restrain her nature.
Long Jiu lived a wild life, Xiao Tingyun had long seen it, and he would not remind her that as long as she was happy, Xiao Tingyun would not say a word no to her.
Therefore, after Long Jiu said that he couldn't bear it, Xiao Tingyun said with a smile: "Then I can't bear it. Anyway, I will take care of you."
Long Jiu smiled when she heard this. She threw herself into Xiao Tingyun's arms with a smile, hooked her arms around his neck and asked sweetly: "Will you carry them all for me?"
Xiao Tingyun nodded with a smile: "Yeah, I'll carry them all."
Long Jiu was even happier, "Then what if I wander out of the circle one day?"
Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows, "As long as you don't want me anymore, no matter how you get out of the circle, I will support you."
Long Jiu immediately leaned over and gave him a smack on the face, and said happily: "That's definitely not the case. We dragons can be devoted to each other once we confirm our partners."
Xiao Tingyun lowered his eyes and looked at her. Hearing this, he smiled and asked, "How dedicated are you?"
Long Jiu chuckled: "The kind that will last until death do us part." After speaking, he seemed afraid that he wouldn't believe it, and said with an analogy: "For example, my father, after I lost my mother, he never looked for her again. The romantic relationship is gone. If I hadn’t been born at that time, he would have needed to raise me, and he was the master of the Dragon Clan. The entire Dragon Clan still needed his leadership. I’m afraid that when A Niang died, he would also follow. go."
Xiao Tingyun was obviously stunned after hearing this. He probably didn't expect such a life-and-death thing to happen.
But Long Jiu still said: "The same is true for other dragons in our dragon clan. Before we determine a partner, our dragon clan has romantic relationships everywhere. Once we determine a partner, we will only stay with our partner. Once our partner dies, as long as we are young, Those whose cubs have grown up will basically choose to die with their partners. Those who do not choose to die with their partners are all because there are still young dragons to raise. When the young dragons grow up, although they will no longer choose to self-destruct, they will I won’t be looking for a partner again.”
Xiao Tingyun was very amazed, but after saying that, he said sincerely: "But if it were me, if I died first, I would rather you live well."
Long Jiu was not moved at all. Instead, he snarled and said carelessly: "You are overthinking. Now that you share my lifespan, if you are really going to die, it must be because I am going to die, so There is no such thing as you dying and me living well."
Xiao Tingyun finally revealed his true feelings: "."
He shouldn't reveal his true feelings to her, because his Zaizai doesn't have that nerve!
