Chapter 995 – Meow

The little Black Dragon had never met Xu Yourong, but she knew that this person was Xu Yourong.

The rumors were true. Xu Yourong was truly very beautiful. Even she had to admit this.

But she had not expected that Xu Yourong would say such things on their first meeting.

Those words seemed to have somewhat of a literary air about them, but there was no way she could not hear the declaration hidden within.

No, it had not even been hidden. Xu Yourong had made no attempts to hide it. She had clearly declared her ownership of Chen Changsheng.

The Holy Maiden rumored to be so pure actually had such a strong desire?

The little Black Dragon even remembered those vulgar and low-level mother dragons on the southern isles and taunted, "Do you want to take a piss on him?"

These were truly very vulgar words, but Xu Yourong was not angry. She calmly said, "Perhaps there is another way to resolve it."

The little Black Dragon coldly returned, "How do you want to resolve it?"

Xu Yourong glanced at her ankle and indifferently said, "I have no means of removing this seal in a short time, but I also don’t want him to always worry over this matter, causing him to feel more and more apologetic to you. Thus, I have decided that from now on, I will make some time every day to accompany you. This way, you will not be lonely, much less mistake loneliness for forlornness."

The Black Dragon angrily said, "I certainly don’t need your company. Just looking at you makes me annoyed."

Xu Yourong faintly smiled. "You’re his Protector. I naturally have to take care of you well, have to thank you."

The Black Dragon sneered, "What does that have to do with you? He’s my man!"

Once again, Xu Yourong was not angered by these words, nor did she argue. Stroking the Black Dragon’s black hair, she smiled and said, "Good."

The little Black Dragon was depressed to the extreme. She fiercely shook her head, attempting in vain to escape Xu Yourong’s hand.

Seeing this, Xu Yourong happily said, "Truly so cute."

The little Black Dragon was infuriated. "I’m going to eat you!"

Xu Yourong faintly smiled once more. "As long as you don’t eat him."

The little Black Dragon froze for a while, then suddenly understood, her face turning red as she spat, "How can a woman like you be so shameless!"

......

......

"I’m sorry, Teacher; I was unable to find the key."

Luoluo raised her head, shooting an uneasy glance at Chen Changsheng.

This place was the highest stone hall in the Imperial City, her residence in White Emperor City.

Chen Changsheng was not surprised by this answer, but was surprised by Luoluo’s fear.

Back in the Orthodox Academy, Luoluo was just as cute as she was now, but she had never shown such an expression.

Just what had happened? Or was it that Madam Mu wanting to marry her off to Xuelao City had not only harmed her heart, but also made her afraid?

Luoluo glanced at the White Crane outside, looked at the expression in his eyes, then carefully asked, "Won’t Teacher’s wife be unhappy?"

Chen Changsheng was perturbed by this question, asking back, "Why would she be unhappy?"

He really did not understand why Xu Yourong would be unhappy. Just a while ago, he also had not understood why the little Black Dragon had said that there was something wrong with his brain.

Luoluo was somewhat relieved by his answer, but she was still rather nervous. She probed with another question. "Teacher, you don’t blame me, right?"

Chen Changsheng recalled how when Luoluo was leaving the capital, she had written a letter to him saying that she had deceived him, that she was really the same age as him, just a few months younger.

Was she worried that he would blame her for this?

Chen Changsheng was speechless, but just when he was looking at her and preparing to say something, he suddenly froze.

It had clearly been five years since their parting, but Luoluo’s appearance remained the same: young, beautiful, and cute, just like a child.

What was going on here? She should not have reached that level of cultivation, or did the Demi-human race have a technique similar to South Stream Temple’s secret youth-retaining technique?

"Teacher?" Luoluo softly asked.

Chen Changsheng woke from his stupor and said, "I truly am a little angry."

Luoluo nervously thought, did Teacher hear about Xuanyuan Po’s words? Or did he hear about what I said?

Teacher knows that I like him and so is angry?

Chen Changsheng explained, "Since you’d already heard about the rumors before the matter, why didn’t you send a letter to the Li Palace for help? I am your teacher; I won’t just throw you aside and stop caring about you."

Luoluo was at first astonished at these words, and then extremely happy.

Yes, how can Teacher just throw me aside? At the most dangerous moment, he would definitely break through the clouds and take me away in a cloud of golden light.

But if I told the Li Palace first, the Human race would definitely handle it a different way. Teacher, would you still come yourself?

Luoluo thought to herself, I definitely have to keep my intention hidden from Teacher, even if I have to hide it for a lifetime.

As long as I get a lifetime, it’s fine.

"Senior Bie Yanghong is about to leave."

Chen Changsheng’s melancholy voice broke her sweet train of thought.

’Leave’ here did not mean leaving White Emperor City, but leaving the world.

Luoluo was shocked, then sorrowful.

She did not feel sorrow over the senior that she had never met, but for other reasons.

An expert of the Divine Domain had been conspired against and died in White Emperor City. An account would need to be made for this matter eventually.

Has it really come time for the humans and demi-humans to part? I just reunited with Teacher; will it be impossible to meet from now on?

She grabbed Chen Changsheng’s belt, her face stricken with grief as she looked at him. "Teacher, I’m not willing."

Chen Changsheng had failed to avoid this, as her actions were as fast as lightning. Besides the increase in her strength, it was also because she had practiced this action countless times.

In the Orthodox Academy, whenever she would be driven back by Chen Changsheng to the Hundred Herb Garden, or later on in the Li Palace or Imperial Palace, she would always use this method to buy time.

She had an even more well-practiced move that could buy even more time. This was to fall over and grab Chen Changsheng’s thigh.

But she was now somewhat older, so it was rather embarrassing to do that.

Chen Changsheng soothed, "It’s not so serious as you imagine, but anything that’s been done has a price that needs to be paid."

For the loss of an expert of the Divine Domain, White Emperor City would have to pay an extremely heavy price for the Human race to not pursue this matter.

Although he had not indicated whom, the target of his words was exceptionally clear.

Luoluo whispered, "Mother... is pregnant."

Through this, she was telling Chen Changsheng that Madam Mu’s status was soon to be even more solidified. In contrast, her own status and weight in the Demi-human race would be crippled.

"But it’s fine. I’ll work hard."

Luoluo cutely stuck out her tongue.

The once-cheerful smile now seemed forced, even rather serious.

Chen Changsheng felt a deep pity as he gazed at her small face. "You don’t need to do anything."

Luoluo very seriously replied, "Teacher, I actually have a lot of supporters, but since I believed that Teacher would come to save me, I didn’t do anything."

Chen Changsheng said, "Even if you can do many things, you shouldn’t do them."

Luoluo opened her eyes wide as she asked, "But why?"

Chen Changsheng petted her on the head. "Because she is your mother, and also because I happen to know that you like to stand at very high places."

Luoluo truly did like to stand at high places, like the banyan tree growing by the lake in the Orthodox Academy, the Hall of Pure Virtue in the Li Palace, or this palace hall she lived in right now.

Those who didn’t understand her would think that the world’s most revered princess only liked the feeling of looking down on others.

But Chen Changsheng knew that this was not the case.

Luoluo liked to stand at very high places because only by standing there could she see even farther places.

"How can a girl who likes to look into the distance remain here to be a female emperor?"

Chen Changsheng sincerely said to her.

Luoluo stared at him in a daze, then abruptly threw himself into his embrace. Tightly hugging him, she incessantly rubbed her face into his chest while letting out happy sounds.

It was a very soft sound, sometimes a meow and other times a snore. She sounded like a little cat that had just stuffed itself and was now stroked and petted.
