When the two young people looked back and realized that Miao'er had already gone far away, they naturally understood her deep meaning and thoughtful feelings.
The two exchanged a smile once again.
In the end, Ziyan pulled on Demon Prince, searching for a while, and finally saw the middle-aged craftsman, Master Luo, who was seriously directing everyone at work in front of the last building at the very back.
As Ziyan and Demon Prince quietly approached him from behind, the craftsman was so focused that he did not notice them at all.
"Master Luo! Thank you for your hard work."
When Ziyan's voice suddenly rang out, Master Luo was momentarily taken aback.
"Uh? Oh, Miss Zi, Prince, I’m sorry. I was busy guiding them in their work just now and didn’t notice you two. Please forgive me."
Master Luo immediately turned to bow and apologize.
"It’s no trouble. So, when can we put on the roof and tiles?"
Ziyan smiled slightly and continued to ask the question she wanted to know.
"Reporting to Miss Zi and Prince, it will be soon. In about ten days, we will be able to put on the roof and cover it with tiles."
As soon as the topic of the house came up, Master Luo became lively, energetic, and full of confidence.
Although Ziyan had been away for such a long time, she was almost fully aware of the daily progress of the construction here because she received updates from the housekeeper through Pigeon Post at almost the same time every day.
"Great! That’s good to hear."
Ziyan and Demon Prince exchanged smiles again, both nodding in satisfaction at this capable craftsman before them.
Ziyan then said, "Work hard and ensure quality for a smooth completion. Master Luo, I have promised that there will be a great reward once this is done, and I will not go back on my word. Just wait!"
"Yes, yes! I will definitely work hard to complete it as soon as possible."
Master Luo was slightly excited, nodding rapidly. It was clear that he was in a very good mood!
At that moment, Li Yutong and Li Bing appeared almost simultaneously. Meanwhile, Ziyan and the Demon Prince turned around without any hesitation and headed towards the main building.
In the main hall of the building.
Ziyan and the Demon Prince took their seats at the main table, while Ling Yuxuan waved to Li Yutong and Li Bing, signaling them to come forward to speak.
Li Yutong and Li Bing approached.
"You two listen carefully. There is a very important task that one of you must undertake. This task must be done well without any mistakes. Which of you brothers is willing to take on this mission?"
The Demon Prince's dark eyes shone with intensity as he stared seriously at the two.
Li Yutong and Li Bing had never seen their master speak so solemnly before; they immediately sensed the seriousness and importance of the situation.
"Reporting to the prince, Subordinate can go."
Li Bing stepped forward first and bowed, volunteering for the task.
"Good! This King has heard that one of you is very clever while the other is exceptionally brave. So this time, let the brave Li Bing go!"
Ling Yuxuan nodded in approval and ultimately entrusted the important mission of providing support and protection for their father and siblings to the well-known brave Li Bing.
"Yes, Subordinate obeys!"
Li Bing immediately accepted the order.
“Good! Then you quickly head to the back mountain and select twenty of the most skilled warriors from that group of hidden soldiers. Lead them to secretly protect those in the relay station. You must always pay attention to everything and everyone around them. If any one of them has even the slightest mishap, then—you know what you should do!”
Demon Prince was startled by the last moment, you know what you should do! In this era, it actually means that they must atone with their lives; this is the most severe punishment and final fate for a Death Warrior if they fail in their duty.
It turns out that although on the surface these people appeared cold as ice towards Ling Zhiyuan, it seems otherwise now!
Just this one statement made Ziyan realize the deep affection and concern that her Monster had for them.
Ziyan couldn't help but want to reassess her beloved, who handled her familial matters so inconsistently!
However, Ziyan knew she couldn't blame him; the key lay in his inability to get over Ling Jianyu. After all, he had called the other party father for a full eight years!
But blood is thicker than water, which remains an unchangeable reality. Ziyan had often hypothesized a question during the past: if there hadn't been such a dramatic upheaval, and he was still Ling Jianyu's son, could he really have laid hands on Ling Zhiyuan during his quest for revenge?
Every time Ziyan posed this hypothesis, her mind would immediately recall that scene outside Chucheng City. Originally, for a vengeful person, that moment was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To let such a great chance slip away right before his eyes—what does that signify?
It can only signify that the thought of revenge had long since faded in her Monster's mind.
Although they lived in a remote area for those years, the common people praised the current ruler as an exceptionally benevolent monarch who could be considered a rare sage in hundreds of years!
Since he was regarded as a good ruler by the common people, if they were to kill this benevolent monarch beloved by all, it would mean they were opposing the entire populace of Nanchu Kingdom. This is one reason why Ling Yuxuan felt relieved.
Secondly, it was all due to the grievances and wishes of their previous generation. Although Ling Yuxuan trusted his master Qin Ming and old Divine Doctor Old Man Mo, he also believed that everything happens for a reason.
Moreover, regarding both masters, in the end, they too could set aside personal grudges for the sake of the common people. This shows that whether master or disciple, they all possess a compassionate heart for the welfare of humanity.
This is who I have encountered in this life—the good people I have met!
Ziyan silently expressed her gratitude to the heavens for allowing her to meet such a group of brave warriors who valued righteousness and the welfare of others in this life—this was enough for her!
Lost in her thoughts, Ziyan didn't even notice when Li Yutong and Li Bing had left.
"Little darling, what are you thinking about?"
It wasn't until she heard Demon Prince lean down to ask her that Ziyan slowly returned from her introspective world. She saw her beloved looking at her with curiosity.
"Uh? Oh, nothing!"
Ziyan paused, unsure if she had clearly heard the question he had asked her.
"…"
Demon Prince was instantly speechless.
"Eh—everyone's gone?"
After surveying her surroundings, Ziyan realized that Li Yu and Li Bing had long since disappeared.
"…"
Demon Prince was once again at a loss for words and then helplessly shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing his expression, Ziyan immediately pressed for an answer.
"If you are willing to tell me what you were thinking about just now, I will tell you—the answer you want!"
The eyes of the Demon Prince suddenly flashed with a hint of mockery and amusement.
"Ah—I'm not sure where to start."
Ziyan replied honestly. At that moment, she really didn't know how to express the thoughts that had been swirling in her mind or where to begin.
After a brief silence, she shared with him her desire to build multi-layered villas in the wealthier cities across the country.
Once she had detailed all her ideas, she eagerly asked the Demon Prince, "Do you think anyone would be willing to buy such villas?"
"......"
At that moment, the Demon Prince did not respond immediately but instead scrutinized Ziyan closely, his gaze filled with countless colors of intrigue.
What’s going on? Is he in favor or against it?
"You—why don't you share your thoughts? Do you think it's feasible?"
Ziyan pressed on.
"Is your past world really as extraordinary as you say?"
The Demon Prince suddenly shifted the topic to inquire about Ziyan's previous world.
Upon hearing this, Ziyan smiled lightly and said, "Yes, that world is truly extraordinary; it is a mythical world! Any opportunity and any possible event could happen and be realized."
"……Alright! In my opinion, this type of villa should be able to create a trend and be highly sought after by people!"
Regarding Ziyan's response, the Demon Prince felt a moment of longing before gently and calmly sharing his thoughts with his little woman.
"Well! That's good. It seems that in this life, I still have a vast space to showcase my abilities..."
Ziyan thought: "If this continues, I will definitely become an all-round 'God-level' figure in this world."
Evening.
The twilight had already blurred, and the sky filled with evening glow gradually became dull, losing its color.
At this moment, Ziyan, Demon Prince, and Miao'er were sitting on the top floor of the second floor, beginning to enjoy their dinner by candlelight.
From a distance, they caught sight of several figures appearing on the artificial bridge made of Han White Jade, which resembled a jade belt, spanning across the Artificial Lake.
Although it was dark, Ziyan could still discern the identity of the approaching figures from their vague silhouettes and walking demeanor. Who else could it be but the current Supreme One of the Nanchu Kingdom?
Naturally, accompanying him were Xiang Wang Lingfeng and Princess Ling Yuer. In addition, there were two eunuchs who had been closely following him during this time and several members of the Imperial Guard.
Ziyan exchanged glances with Demon Prince, blinking his eyes, and then they looked at Miao'er, who was still busy helping Servant set the table and had not yet noticed the people on the lake.
The two of them had already reached a consensus that this visit from the Emperor's Son so late was likely primarily aimed at Miao'er. Perhaps he was here to persuade her to return to the capital with him!
The young couple did not remind Miao'er that guests were arriving. Moreover, Ling Yuxuan simply let down all the gauzy curtains around the Pavilion.
Miao'er looked at Ling Yuxuan with great confusion!
Ling Yuxuan calmly replied, "The wind has picked up."
Ziyan couldn't help but silently chuckle: The wind has picked up; can these curtains really block the wind?
"Oh! Alright then, let's eat!"
Miao'er felt something was off and urged the two younger ones in front of her to start eating.
Thus, the three of them lowered their heads and fell silent, and soon the surroundings were quiet.
About half a moment later, just as the three were enjoying their meal, a group of people suddenly appeared outside the gauze curtain, and a tall figure directly lifted one side of the curtain.
"You all seem to be enjoying your meal! I wonder if you could grant me a bite as well?"
As Ling Zhiyuan's voice rang out, Miao'er was startled, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "You are the ruler of a nation; as long as you wish to eat somewhere, who would dare say no?"
"Heh heh, not necessarily. Although this world belongs to me, I can't even win back the heart of my most beloved woman. Alas... I am ultimately not omnipotent."
Ling Zhiyuan spoke with veiled implications, staring directly at Miao'er.
"You're being too harsh, Your Majesty. You have thousands of beauties in your harem; under Heaven, as long as you desire, what is it to add another hundred or even a thousand? Why cling to one old and faded person? You should let go!"
Miao'er slightly closed her eyes, seemingly very disdainful of past events.
