Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tread, tread…

The hero and the beauty riding the waves under the moonlight should have been a very romantic scene.

But it was raining heavily outside!

Caught off guard, Dongfang Liren was carried out, and raindrops fell on her face. She was so angry that she even forgot about being hugged by the man. She raised her hand and hammered the handsome Ye Jingtang’s chest. “What are you doing? It’s raining so heavily. Can’t you go through the front door?”

Ye Jingtang also felt that the rain was a spoilsport, but he had no choice. He forcefully pretended to be a carefree hero and rose and fell on the lake while using his incomplete sleeve to shield Dumdum from the wind and rain. “It’s fine. I’ll block it for you.”

Dongfang Liren was furious at her seemingly romantic but actually foolish boyfriend. If she struggled, the two of them would probably fall into the lake together. She could only bury her head in Ye Jingtang’s arms to avoid the rain and say angrily, “What exactly are you going to do?”

1 don’t know either! Ye Jingtang held Dumdum, who had the figure of a supermodel, and rose and fell on the lake. Soon, he passed through the Roaring Dragon Pond, but he didn’t stop. Instead, he picked up a colorful umbrella that was drying in a room of the palace servants and jumped onto a pavilion.

Dongfang Liren’s slender waist was hugged as she rose and fell above the Imperial City. With the umbrella covering her, she finally recovered a little, but she was still full of annoyance. She looked at the cold and extraordinary Young Master Ye. “Where are we going? Are you kidnapping me out of the palace?”

Ye Jingtang didn’t know where he was going either. While they were flying through the palace, he forced a mysterious expression on his face, as if he was preparing to surprise Dumdum.

When Dongfang Liren saw this, her interest was piqued. She wanted to see what Ye Jingtang was taking her to see, so she didn’t say anything else.

Because it was difficult for her to maintain balance while being held, she even placed her hand on his shoulders and looked around the Imperial City.

Ye Jingtang’s expression was cold and extraordinary, but he was panicking inside.

After taking down Eunuch Cao just now, because he was afraid that Qiu Tianhe going crazy on top of Jasper Pavilion scared Heroine Luo and the others, he had asked the bird to go back first to ensure their safety.

Without the help of the bird, Ye Jingtang didn’t know what special places were around him that could explain why he ran out in the rain with Dumdum.

After looking around for a moment, Ye Jingtang discovered the afterglow of the lights outside the palace. His heart stirred slightly, and he hurriedly flew out of the Eternal Joy Palace and arrived at the palace wall outside the Imperial City.

Thud!

The two figures holding an umbrella and hugging each other landed on the gate tower of the Vermilion Bird Gate.

Outside the gate was the 4.00-feet-wide Heavenly Street. It was the central axis of Yun’an City. From here, they could see the south gate of the capital at a glance. On both sides of Heavenly Street was a dazzling sea of lights. Under the rain, the scenery was extremely beautiful and magnificent.

Dongfang Liren stood at the top of the city gate tower and looked at the bustling Yun’an under the night rain. There was indeed a hint of amazement in her eyes. Standing under the umbrella, she looked up. “You sure know how to find a place.”

Ye Jingtang had originally just found a random place, but standing on a tower of the Imperial City and looking at the entire capital, the feeling of being the only one in the world really made people feel a little high-spirited.

Holding the umbrella above Dumdum’s head, Ye Jingtang turned his head to look at her bright and moving side profile and said with a smile, “Like it?”

Dongfang Liren nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she realized that Ye Jingtang was still hugging her waist. Her eyes turned slightly cold.

Ye Jingtang quickly moved his hand away and stood with his hands behind his back.

Only then was Dongfang satisfied. She looked at the night scenery of Yun’an. “The scenery is not bad. What do you want to do by bringing me here?”

Ye Jingtang didn’t want to do anything embarrassing to Dumdum. He just didn’t want her to worry when she saw Yuhu’s half-dead appearance. He deliberated for a moment before saying, “Your Highness, please accompany me to look at the scenery for a while. Take it as my reward. How about that?”

?

Dongfang Liren felt that these words were very ambiguous and a little offensive, but she wasn’t angry at all.

After all, fame and fortune were like worn-out shoes. All he did was seek a smile from a beauty. Which woman would dislike such a silly man?

Dongfang Liren blinked and didn’t reject him, but she still added, “Seeing that you’ve made a great contribution this time, I won’t argue with you about these small matters. I’m clear about rewards and punishments. 1 will still give you what 1 should give you, even if you don’t want it. From tomorrow onward, you will be the deputy commander of the Black Office and enjoy the treatment of a fourth-rank military officer…”

Ye Jingtang was a little hesitant. “I’m okay with doing things, but I don’t know how to be an official.”

“I’m just giving you an official identity. I’m not asking you to sit in the Black Office and manage people. If there’s something for you to do, you can do it. If there’s nothing, you can eat the imperial food and attend to your private matters. I won’t punish you.”

“That’s good.”

Dongfang Liren harrumphed lightly. In order not to get wet, she leaned closely in front of Ye Jingtang and quietly looked at Yun’an’s night scenery.

Ye Jingtang felt that it was a little inappropriate to stand here foolishly. He thought for a moment and handed the umbrella to Dumdum. Then he clasped his hands together and brought them to his mouth to play a tune. “Woo- Woo-” The melody was like flying sand in the desert. Dongfang Liren’s eyes moved slightly, revealing the same surprise as Luo Ning had.

Dongfang Liren covered Ye Jingtang’s head with the umbrella. After listening with sparkling eyes for a moment, she followed the tune. “Mmhmm-”

Although Dongfang Liren usually spoke domineeringly, and her mature voice was proud and cold, when she hummed a tune, it was very gentle and pleasant.

Ye Jingtang paused and turned to look at the noble princess beside him. “Your Highness knows this song too?”

A proud look appeared in Dongfang Liren’s eyes. “I’m proficient in zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting. Everyone in the Sha Province knows this tune. Do you want to show off to me?”

Ye Jingtang smiled and stopped showing off in front of the expert. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked attentively at Dumdum humming.

“Mmhmm-“
