Chapter 4

In the capital city, as the winter vacation was coming to an end, the top students were happily playing, while the weaker students were burning the midnight oil to finish their assignments.

Tesha sat alone in the tea house below her house. The tea house was elegantly decorated, with few people and a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. Tesha held a pot of tea in one hand and a brush in the other, flowing seamlessly on the paper. Most people wouldn't understand what she was writing, but just looking at the font, it appeared as beautiful as Tesha herself.

At this moment, the door of the tea house was pushed open. Dressed in a long black coat and high heels, Guffy instantly caught the attention of the men inside the tea house with her golden hair.

"Shasha, Mom has some free time today. Do you want me to buy you a new outfit?" Guffy was the one who attracted everyone's attention.

"No, I haven't finished writing yet." Tesha continued writing without stopping.

"It's been a few hours already. Aren't you tired of writing incantations?"

"Yeah, a little."

"How about Mom buys you a magic book?" The Imperial Library had some slightly simpler and junior-level magic books for sale. If you wanted something more advanced, you'd probably have to go to the auction house. Legendary-level magic books were just legends, and no one would casually bring them out or exchange them for money.

"Mom, can you write one for me?" After thinking for a moment, Tesha remembered that her mother had a magic book she wrote herself.

"Do you want Mom to write it for you? That book has no effect in front of your dad, you know."

Tesha's brush suddenly paused. She said, "Mom, when I was young, we lived happily in the deep mountains. Why did we have to leave?"

"Well, you need friends as you grow up." Guffy gently held Tesha's face, everything she did was for her daughter, it was motherly love.

"After school starts, can't I call you Mom anymore?"

"It shouldn't be too long. As long as your dad comes back."

Tesha didn't quite understand why her mom couldn't reveal their relationship at school. They still addressed each other as principal and student when they met.

"Mom, you always say that Dad will come back. I've grown up, but he has never appeared!"

"Who said he hasn't!" Guffy's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Mom..."

Guffy straightened her cuff and said, "Shasha, let's go buy clothes. One for each of us!"

"Ah! No need... I heard that the vice president got injured!" Tesha remembered the news she had received earlier and felt uneasy.

In another direction of the capital, inside the Imperial Palace, the Emperor, Empress, and many ministers were still guarding Princess San's room. The atmosphere was so heavy that it was suffocating.

"Who!" Suddenly, a group of masked guards appeared. Their duty was to ensure the safety of the royal family, and the unsafe factor was the distorted space in the center of the room.

"Who has such powerful Space Magic? It's a bit scary." Purple Lieyang said, also present as an aunt.

"Don't go over!" My father, Duke Qin, stood in the front.

"Am I that frightening, Aunt Lieyang?" I stepped out from among them.

"Qin Yang? Teleporting here is illegal."

"Auntie, did you want me to slowly walk in from outside?" I ignored everyone and walked to the bedside, gently touching Li Liu.

"Is it the Dragon's Breath?" This type of injury was caused by dragon breath and carried poison. Therefore, it was of the same lineage as the Dragon Spirit Covenant. Apart from being asleep, there were no other injuries. It wouldn't be too difficult to wake her up, but this time, I hope it won't be the same as last time!

The Emperor of the Empire walked up to me and asked, "Can you save her?" His heart was hanging, never before has he been so concerned.

"Yes, but are you really willing to watch?" I looked around and noticed that all the royal courtiers were watching.

Zi Lie Yang was quite dissatisfied, "Why can't we watch?"

"You can watch if you want, but I must remind you that if Li Liu accidentally activates the Illusion Eye after waking up, then it's up to you to handle it."

I gently stroked Li Liu's hair, which is the source of the royal family's "Purple" surname. Her long hair turns purple when she enters a dream. It's probably because our ancestors drank the blood of some kind of magical beast.

The sky in the Human Realm has already started to darken.

"It's time to wake up, my Sleeping Beauty." I slowly approached Li Liu's face, my breath in disarray, but this flawless face is always enchanting no matter how you look at it. Nevertheless, I still carefully checked Li Liu's body, and there were indeed no other magic restraints, which put my mind at ease.

After the examination, I suddenly kissed Li Liu on the lips, causing the whole room to be stunned. Some people secretly criticized me for being disrespectful, while others accused me of openly invading the princess and disregarding imperial authority. There was a flurry of discussions.

After a short while, I let go of Li Liu's lips and exhaled a mist-like substance from my mouth. This was the residual dragon breath in Li Liu's body. I continued to repeatedly suck out the dragon breath within her, and her breath gradually stabilized, and her eyeballs slowly moved.

"Hehe, don't sleep, it's time to enjoy the moon."

"Qin... Qin Yang, I... didn't kill that fat man."

"Fat man?"

"The Angel who was guarding 'Helu Si'." Xiao Qiong stood beside me and said.

"Oh, him." I remembered that Angel, who was just a mischievous one.

"I'm sorry."

"Li Liu, it's not necessary. That person is not a big deal. What's important is the one who harmed you."

Li Liu's hair gradually lost its purple color.

"They are not like those in the Divine Realm."

"They..."

"Hey hey, Duke Qin, is it proper for your son to be hugging an unmarried princess in front of everyone?"

"Uh~" My father was temporarily speechless.

"Ahem!" The Emperor of the Empire couldn't bear to watch anymore.

The other three Dukes also stood up and said, "Although it's rumored that you, Qin Yang, have a special relationship with the Third Princess, it's not appropriate for you to do this in public!"

"I just told you to close your eyes earlier. You guys seemed so interested."

"You..." The three Dukes seemed to want to attack me and accuse me of being impolite, but at that moment an unexpected guest arrived at the palace.

"Ping pong!" The magnificent decorative ceiling of the palace was destroyed, and a person dressed in black with a mask on their face rushed in. Before the royal guards could react, they were already in front of us, holding a dagger in both hands and aiming for my and Li Liu's hearts.

Golden flames appeared in my hand, and at a speed too fast for the naked eye, I grabbed the wrist of the person holding the dagger.

"Is it a woman?" The wrist was slender, suggesting it was a woman, and she was holding a cursed dagger that disgusted me. "Are you joking with me with this kind of dagger?"

"No, it's a joke!" Following that, three men and a woman descended from the dark night, also wearing masks on their faces.

"Tony, do we still need masks between us?" The voice, it's you, Tony!

This scene, the golden flames, and Tony's name instantly connected the dots in the minds of the father and the emperor of the empire, as well as Ziyang, flipping through their memories from eighteen years ago.

"This golden flame! Qin Yang?"

"Hmm? Father, haven't you understood my words before I left?"
