“Little boy, little boy. I didn't expect you to be able to locate me. Can you still return to my side?” Qin Mengli was practically talking to herself as she brought forth a sobbing tone while her eyes grew tearful.

“I'm not!” Yang Dingtian replied decisively, “Ren Tianhan had already died. I'm Shen Lang.”

Qin Mengli looked at Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes, “Ice Sealed Valley's members aren't killed by our Qin Clan.”

“I know.” Yang Dingtian replied, “Your Qin Clan possessed the fire attribute mystic meridians. The ice attribute mystic skill scroll is useless to you.”

Qin Mengli gazed at him with her beautiful eyes, “Then, the reason why you're wandering around the world was to take revenge and wipe out the grudge? You, the reason why you approached me was to avenge yourself as well?”

Yang Dingtian's face became unsightly immediately, “I will say it one last time. I love you because you're the first woman whose body I had seen. You had saved my life, and you're the only pillar why I'm wandering around the world. There's no other objective. In the future, I no longer wish to repeat these words again. Alright?”

“Sorry, sorry…” Qin Mengli replied gently, “Don't be angry. It's my fault. I said the wrong words!”

While Qin Mengli spoke, she recalled back those memories that happened during that time.

During then, Qin Mengli was only 16 years old and was at the prime of her youth. She was pure and romantic, unlike how filthy and despair she was right now.

During then, when she had rescued this boy from being killed. That boy's eyes were so bright and were filled with tears. Yet, he stared at her with extreme infatuation. Immediately, she couldn't help but started to overlap the face of the boy to the man before her.

“Shen Lang, I can help you if you wish to take revenge.” Qin Mengli continued gently, “My brothers doted on me a lot. I can be half a decision-maker for Qin City's affairs.”

Yang Dingtian shook his head, “Never once had I thought of taking revenge. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I had never once thought of revenge. Every man is innocent but not ourselves! Ice Sealed Valley's strength is too weak. Yet, we obtained such a treasure, causing us to court a disaster. This couldn't be blamed on others. I will not waste my life on unbounded hatred. I still have something more important to do. Searching for the truth behind the ancient destruction as well as the final secret behind this world to save this world. These are the things that are most significant to me.”

After Yang Dingtian spoke, Qin Mengli's eyes brightened up immediately. She replied gently, “Shen Lang, you're really amazing.”

After which, Qin Mengli lifted her beautiful eyes and spoke delicately, “However, is this your only dream? Don't you want to accomplish something even bigger?”

Yang Dingtian caressed Qin Mengli's cheek and continued gently, “Originally, there was none. But there's now.”

“What is it?” Qin Mengli inquired softly.

“Loving you properly.” Yang Dingtian replied affectionately.

Immediately, Qin Mengli's beautiful eyes had turned drunk as she pouted slightly and waited for a kiss.

For the following days, Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli were practically inseparable!

Both of them played Chinese chess and Go on the couch. Sometimes, Su Mei will be included to play the game “Fight the Landlord.”

That's right. Yang Dingtian had brought out poker as well.

Yang Dingtian was passing his days within Qin Mengli's underground palace. He was practically living the emperor's life.

There was once when Qin Mengli was unable to fall asleep, and Yang Dingtian tried to narrate a story from earth to her.

From then on, things got out of hand. Every time before she slept, Yang Dingtian would have to spend 2 hours of storytime with her, from the revised Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio to revised Qiong Yao's novels and to Tale of the White Snake.

Ultimately, they were all fixated onto fairy tales.

This caused Yang Dingtian to be extremely startled. The loose morals queen, Qin Mengli, actually loved to listen to fairy tales. Furthermore, every time he narrated the fairy tale, her beautiful eyes would reveal a trace of child-like purity. It was also during this point in time did Yang Dingtian feel that she had grown somewhat adorable.

During this period, Qin Mengli had grown more and more infatuated and dependent on Yang Dingtian.

She had become a little girl that had sunk herself into love from a high and mighty queen.

Her gaze had turned from lewd to extremely pure. Her voice had turned from rough to tender and lovely. Her dressing grew more conservative and elegant. She grew more and more radiant and beautiful.

In a short span of a few days, Yang Dingtian felt that she had grown a lot younger. The seductiveness and difficulties on her had practically vanished.

Yang Dingtian didn't inquire anything that was related to the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. He absolutely couldn't inquire about it. It would immediately attract suspicion once he inquired about it. In that case, all the attraction would instantly crumble and turn into endless hatred.

Yang Dingtian had to show a form of unreserved love to her that was clear of desire and request.

The time passed by very quickly and Qin Mengli had to leave for the Northwest Qin City because of the number of days left before her elder brother Qin Wanchou's 50th birthday, who was also the lord of Qin City as well as the overlord of Northwest Continent, was left than half a month time.

Originally, she was supposed to set off a few days before; however, she was deeply in love with Yang Dingtian during that point of time. She didn't wish to part with him for even a second. Therefore, she kept on delaying it. Meanwhile, her husband, the West Prefecture City Lord, had also come over to urge her several times. Eventually, it couldn't be delayed any longer.

Therefore, Qin Mengli decided to set forth tomorrow and leave for the Northwest Qin City.

On that night, after they had their loving affection together.

Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli cuddled together and spoke of their personal matters.

“Shen Lang, after I return to Qin City, I will arrange for you to enter the highest echelon in Qin City, alright?” Qin Mengli suddenly spoke out softly, “I will arrange you to the side of Qin Huaiyu. Once he becomes the Lord of Qin City, you will only be beneath a single person yet above everyone else.”

Yang Dingtian shook his head, “I'm not interested.”

In response, Yang Dingtian revealed an uninterested look.

The sensitive Qin Mengli immediately discovered the gloominess in her lover. She immediately cuddled over and spoke softly, “Husband, you seemed to have a load on your mind?”

Yang Dingtian spoke, “I'm unsure if I should tell you this.”

“Go ahead. What's there you can't tell your sweetheart.” Qin Mengli replied coquettishly.

“Do you love me? Qin Mengli?” Yang Dingtian inquired.

“I do. Of course, I love you…” Qin Mengli replied delicately, “Husband, I will turn angry if you're going to ask such a question again!”

“I will never be accustomed to staying in Northwest Qin City. My dream is to search for the final truth behind this world, love you properly as well as be together with you.” Yang Dingtian inquired gently, “Ah Li, are you willing to abandon everything and wander around with me? We shall travel to all parts of the world and discover the truth behind this world.”

(TL NOTE:- Ah Li is an intimate way to address Qin Mengli.)

Qin Mengli was immediately stupefied. She had no idea how to answer it momentarily.

Honestly speaking, she might have kept on saying she was bored and wished to look for excitement, but she really couldn't abandon the glory, splendor, wealth, and rank as well as her life of luxury just to wander around with Yang Dingtian and experience hardship.

“You aren't willing, right?” Yang Dingtian spoke out bitterly.

The expression on Qin Mengli's face grew even more awkward. Afterward, she faced her back towards Yang Dingtian's side body and laid down, “Shen Lang, let's not talk about this. It's late. Let's sleep. Tomorrow morning, we're leaving for Northwest Qin City.”

This was the first time Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli were on bad terms with each other during this time.

The next day, Qin Mengli brought along thousands of grandiose cavalry and left for the Northwest Qin City while escorting dozens of big carts from the West Prefecture City.

Perhaps, it might be because of guilt, or she wanted to let Yang Dingtian experience the power of authority, Yang Dingtian had become the commander of the over thousand cavalries when he was just a mere Great Mystic Martial Master.

What was even more bizarre was that Yan Bieqin had actually become the vice commander of this group of cavalries. However, his position wasn't arranged by Qin Mengli but West Prefecture City Lord, who was Qin Mengli's nominal husband.

Today, Yang Dingtian had also finally met this legendary West Prefecture City Lord. He was an extremely handsome and intimidating middle-aged man. Regardless he was the Northwest Qin City's son-in-law or the West Prefecture City Lord, he would still need to attend the Lord of Qin Clan's 50th birthday celebration.

However, Yang Dingtian had merely glanced at this City Lord hastily. This handsome City Lord didn't even take a glance at Yang Dingtian and went straight into the second sumptuous big chariot in front of everyone's gaze.

Besides, as the cavalry commander, Yang Dingtian had to be outside, riding the horse while journeying.

All of a sudden, the West Prefecture City Lord's chariot opened his curtain and spoke a few sentences to Yan Bieqin before pulling down his curtain back again.

Subsequently, Yan Bieqin rode his horse to Yang Dingtian's side and journeyed side by side with him.

“Is there any matter, Yan Bieqin?” Yang Dingtian inquired with a frown.

“Where does Brother Shen come from? Which clan are you from?” Yan Bieqin inquired.

Yang Dingtian glanced over nonchalantly without concealing the hostility in his eyes, “Yan Bieqin, I believe this doesn't concern you.”

Yan Bieqin smiled dryly, “Right. Indeed, this had nothing to do with me. However, City Lord Ye has gotten me to pass on a few sentences to you.”

City Lord Ye? Yang Dingtian was slightly stupefied immediately. Unexpectedly, Qin Mengli's husband's surname was also Ye. He wondered what kind of relationship he had with the White Cloud City Young Lord Ye.

“Continue.” Yang Dingtian replied nonchalantly.

“He said, Madam Qin is merely having fun. If someone doesn't know when he should retreat, he might not know how he will die later on.”

“Is this a threat?” Yang Dingtian immediately shrunk his gaze slightly.

Yan Bieqin smiled slightly, “I'm just passing on the message only.”

Subsequently, Yan Bieqin continued, “However, I wish to inform Brother Shen that previously there were two of Madam Qin's gigolos that had experienced being doted on. Therefore, they had arisen a different kind of thoughts. Ultimately, one of them got castrated and was sent to the most depraved brothel to be a pimp. Furthermore, he received the crudest male guest as well. As for the other one, he was skinned to death alive.”

Yang Dingtian smiled slightly, “Thank you for telling me this, Brother Yan.”

“You're welcome.” Yan Bieqin smiled. Subsequently, he rode his horse and left.

Both of them detested each other. Thus, there was no need for them to put forth an act. They couldn't hope to stay away from each other; the further, the better.

For the next two days, they lived together in harmony.

Although the West Prefecture City Lord had used Yan Bieqin's mouth to issue a death threat to Yang Dingtian, he still had not done anything to Yang Dingtian for the past few days.

Meanwhile, Qin Mengli had no idea if it was because of her husband at her side or was it there were eyes everywhere or perhaps because Yang Dingtian had forced her to declare her stand, she had ultimately not gotten Yang Dingtian to ascend onto her chariot, so much that Yang Dingtian had yet to approach her.

Everyone was also showing respect to Yang Dingtian, who was a nominal commander for the thousand man cavalry.

In just two days, they had traveled over 600 miles. According to this speed, they would still need six to seven days before reaching Northwest Qin City. They would still be able to reach the Qin City Lord's birthday celebration on time.

Another two days went by. The group Yang Dingtian was at had overtaken another group.

Similarly, this group was filled with hundreds of people. Furthermore, they were dressed in colorful clothes while riding the horse. Similarly, they were escorting dozens of chariots, and there was a snow-white goshawk embroidered on their flag.

Enemies would always meet each other on a narrow road. This was the team from White Cloud City.

As the nominal second strongest faction in the Northwest Continent, the White Cloud City City Lord, Ye Wucheng, ought to be leading his team towards the Northwest Qin City's celebration. Furthermore, they were Northwest Qin City's in-laws.
