Genius Demon Empress

The autumn scenery is bleak, and in the palace of the Protector General, golden fallen leaves cover the floor.

Long Rui sat alone in the garden. The tea on the stone table beside her was already cold. Her fingers were caressing a ring on her finger.

Long Rui almost tried his best for this ring that Xu Yang tried to compete in.

She, Long Rui, wants to shut up those villains who are poking at the backbone of the General's Mansion.

Half a year ago, no one would have believed that the once glorious General's Mansion would be reduced to what it is today. It was so desolate that it could not even get a recommended ring from the world's best test, the Rising Sun Test. Long Rui had no choice but to participate. It took additional knockout rounds to obtain this precious participation ring.

Since the death of Long Jiuzun, Long Ao has only appeared once, and there has been no news since then. It is rumored that Long Ao failed to advance and died in Sixiang City.

Princess Long Xue was also lukewarm towards the General's Mansion. Those who originally relied on the General's Mansion saw that the General's Mansion was gone, and they all showed despicable faces and switched to other people's families.

The General Protector's Mansion has gone from being supported by everyone in its heyday to being deserted now. Everything is still in his mind like an afterimage of an old dream. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Long Rui.

Miss, little Duke Yue is asking for an audience outside the mansion, the maid reminded from the side.

After the maid finished speaking, she looked at her young lady carefully.

When she heard the name that she loved and hated, Long Rui couldn't help but tighten her fingers.

Long Rui was not surprised that he still came. When she signed up for the imperial capital Xuyang Examination, she had already expected that Yue Minzhi would definitely intervene.

So she deliberately kept it from Yue Minzhi and begged Xiao Jinnuo for secret help. Until the list of contestants was handed over to Princess Long Xue, even if Yue Minzhi had objections, it was already too late.

Invite him in. Nowadays, no one in the imperial capital dares to neglect the people of Yue Mansion, Long Rui said with a bit of sourness.

The situation in the Duke's Palace and the General's Palace can be described as completely different.

A double noble sect, in just half a year, the Blood Cherry Duke's Mansion dazzled the entire imperial capital like the Blood Cherry in spring.

Yue Minzhi, a double dragon knight rarely seen in the empire for hundreds of years, is one of Princess Longxue's most appreciated right-hand men, together with Peng Bo. Jinnuo is also known as the Empire's Double Show.

His younger sister, Yue Jinghua, was awarded a lifelong title and was the captain of the empire's first mercenary squad.

It can be said that the two brothers and sisters were favored for a while, but in comparison, the General's Mansion was like a dusty pearl, dim and dull.

This couldn't help but make Long Rui's heart sour, and his words became sharp.

Behind him, there was a soft rustling sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves.

Long Rui's heartbeat couldn't help but beat a little faster. Her love for Yue Minzhi had penetrated deep into her blood. Even if she didn't look back or meet his eyes, she could still feel the love in her body, in her blood vessels and in her organs. The kind of throbbing that was almost like an electric shock.

This feeling became even stronger after the artificial respiration incident between the two.

What are you doing here? Are you here to see the jokes in the General's Mansion? Long Rui's words were a bit angry.

What the General's Palace has gone through, the Duke's Palace of Blood Ying has gone through, so why are you telling a joke? Yue Minzhi has a long and graceful body. After several months of hard work, he has grown from a reckless young lord to a A good man of the empire who is upright and upright.

He sighed.

You shouldn't take part in this rising sun test, Yue Minzhi looked at the girl under the sunset.

This time, in order to prepare for the Xuyang test, he has not seen Long Rui.

She seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and her waist was no longer slim enough.

Long Rui suddenly turned around, her brows filled with anger. She bit her lips and stared at Yue Minzhi, Why shouldn't I participate? Don't I, Long Rui, deserve to participate in the Xuyang Exam? Yue Minzhi, why don't you You are too self-reliant. You are a dragon knight, and I am also a dragon knight. I am not inferior to you, and you are not necessarily much better than me.

Even with the setting sun behind his back, Yue Minzhi could clearly see the face of the girl he hadn't seen for months.

Sure enough, she had lost a lot of weight, her originally round cheeks had become slimmer, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.

Not only did this not diminish her beauty, it actually gave Long Rui a special sense of beauty.

Rui'er, I didn't mean that. I meant... it's too dangerous. Yue Minzhi was not as good at words as Yue Jinghua. Under Long Rui's gaze, he felt that his tongue was as stiff as a stone. After a few pauses, he spoke his true thoughts.

Too dangerous? Is he worried about himself?

Long Rui's eyes turned red. It had been a long time since her grandfather left and no one cared about her.

Her parents died early, and her relatives in the General's Mansion made sarcastic comments to her because of her marriage.

How long had it been since anyone had cared about her food, clothing, housing, and transportation, or worried about her safety?

This time the Rising Sun Trial has the largest number of participants in the past, and I believe it is also the most competitive one. According to the practice of previous years, the Rising Sun Trial will choose a dangerous place as the competition location. In previous years, the Rising Sun Trial will be held at the start of the competition. In the past six months, the location of the competition will be announced, but this time, it is an exception. So far, the competition organization has not announced the location of the competition. Canglong Continent is the continent where the human race is most active, and the footprints of the mysterious people who pursue breakthroughs in strength are almost Spread across the entire continent.

But even so, there are still many places on the continent that humans have never explored.

Those places are often regarded as forbidden areas.

The earlier Xuyang Examinations were held in those forbidden areas.

I don't need you to worry. With Lake King Long here, I can protect myself. Besides, what qualifications do you have to care about me? Long Rui felt sweet in her heart, but she still had the temper of a young lady.

She regretted it as soon as she said it.

Yue Minzhi is not a person of that kind of power. As he said, he has experienced all the things and warmth of people he has experienced in the General's Mansion when he was young.

But the words had been spoken, and it was like water that was covered with water. Long Rui secretly cursed himself for not having a brain, but at the same time, he blamed Yue Minzhi for being a piece of wood. If he hadn't been going to participate in the Rising Sun Exam, how could he have followed him all the way.

I proposed to your grandfather, Yue Minzhi thought about it, and finally decided to tell Long Rui what happened.

You! Long Rui's eyes widened, and now she was stuttering, Who, who promised, promised you, begged. You, you don't want me, right?

After she finished speaking, her face turned red with embarrassment, and her feet stomped on the ground randomly for a while, trampling all the leaves into a mess.

Your grandfather didn't agree. He said, 'Unless I get the top three in the Xuyang Examination, he won't betroth you to me.' Yue Minzhi scratched his head, feeling very embarrassed.

You are stupid. You agree to such harsh conditions. Grandpa is too confused, Long Rui said anxiously.

Yue Minzhi looked on, his expression gradually calming down. He walked forward, hesitated for a while, and finally raised his hand and hugged Long Rui tenderly. His voice was low and touched Long Rui's ears. Bian echoed: You are worth my risk.

Long Rui's body trembled slightly, her longing for her had come true at this moment. She felt a roar in her head, and her whole body was drowned by the tide of joy.

Tears fell on the rings, and at this moment, the competition rings on their fingers lit up.
