Beasts contend

Fan Dong has been waiting for the opportunity to formally meet with Hazel.

Hearing that Smith said that Hazel had arrived, Fan Dong smiled and asked someone to take her to the living room.There are windows on three sides of the living room, and the golden sunlight shines in from the windows, making the whole living room extremely bright.

When Fan Dong walked into the living room, Hazel stood up.The tall Bell Empire woman's eyes were bright, and she stared at the upright Fan Dong.This young man looked young, but his aura did not belong to others. He would not be inferior even if he stood beside Edward.

After losing prejudice, Hazel's evaluation of Fan Dong became much more objective.

Hazel came forward and said, "Your Majesty Ryan, forgive me for taking so long to visit you."

Fan Dong had received a report from the subordinates the moment Harouer entered the doctor's guild, so he naturally knew the reason why Harouer came to find him.Fan Dong said: "Major General Hairouer is serious." He invited Hairouer to sit down with great grace.

Although Hazel once "coveted" Edward, Fan Dong didn't have much ill feeling towards her.After all, that guy Edward couldn't be poached away by others.

Fan Dong poured a cup of tea for Hairou himself.

Hazel straight to the point explained her reason for coming.

She didn't immediately bring up the fertility problem of the Bell family, but asked Fan Dong if there was any way to solve her own problems.

Fan Dong heard Hazel's "scanning result", nodded and said: "Since Lilith has obtained the result, of course I can help you refine the elixir."

Hazel was slightly happy in her heart, but she didn't show it immediately.She had to try it herself to be sure if what Fan Dong said was true.Hazel said: "Please, His Majesty Ryan."

Fan Dong personally diagnosed Harouer again before sending her away.Early the next morning, he asked Smith to send the pill to Hazel.Seeing that more than half a month was about to pass, Fan Dong asked Dia to send another batch of pills to Bell Empire, and help him check the situation of the little black dog by the way.

Unexpectedly, Dia did not leave immediately, but brought another person: Shen Ming.

After Fan Dong succeeded to the throne, he went to meet Shen Ming a few times, but there were too many things to do, and the time he stayed was not long, and it couldn't compare with the closeness he had before.Fan Dong greeted him happily: "A Ming, why are you here?"

Shen Ming said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I want to go to the Bell Empire."

Fan Dong was surprised.What did Shen Ming do in Bell Empire?

Shen Ming looked at Fan Dong fixedly.

Seeing the questioning look in Shen Ming's eyes, Fan Dong instantly felt a little ashamed.Although he has restored Shen Ming to his freedom, he has never allowed Shen Ming to be truly free, taking Shen Ming's kindness to him for granted—as if Shen Ming had to take care of and plant medicinal herbs for him.

So much so that even Shen Ming had to ask his opinion when he went to the Bell Empire.

Shen Ming obviously has a lot of things to do.

Fan Dong was very reluctant, but still stepped forward and held Shen Ming's hand: "A Ming, you can go wherever you want!"

Fan Dong's palm was warm and soft, making Shen Ming feel a little dazed.He raised his head and met Fan Dong's earnest gaze.

Shen Ming shouted: "Your Majesty."

Fan Dong has already considered for Shen Ming: "Ah Ming, if you are going, should I send a few more people to protect you? Diya alone may not be enough, whoever you want will go with you." As soon as Ming stared at him, Fan Dong couldn't help explaining, "Ah Ming, I didn't want to restrict your actions, but—"

Shen Ming said: "Your Majesty, I know. Your Majesty does not want to restrict me, but to protect me."

Fan Dong smiled happily.

He said: "Are you going to the Bell Empire to find medicinal materials? Take Dabai with you, it will be more convenient for you."

Shen Ming's eyes darkened, and he rejected Fan Dong's proposal: "No need, Your Majesty, I'll just go by myself, it's too conspicuous to bring Dabai."

Fan Dong said: "If it's convenient for you, help me to see Xiao Hei. I can't get away from here, but I'm really worried if I don't see it with my own eyes."

Shen Ming paused and agreed.

Fan Dong asked again: "Are you going alone? Do Mr. Qiu and A Mo want to go?"

Shen Ming said: "Mr. Qiu is bidding farewell to Commander Edward, and my brother will stay." Shen Mo has also become an excellent alchemist under the guidance of Qiu Fengbai. With Mo Mo, Edward has an explanation.

Hearing that Qiu Fengbai was leaving too, Fan Dong's heart skipped a beat, feeling a bad premonition.Looking at Shen Ming's calm face, he couldn't help holding Shen Ming's hand even tighter: "A Ming, if you have any embarrassing things, you must discuss it with me..."

Before Shen Ming could speak, a heavy shout came from the door: "Your Majesty!"

Fan Dong was taken aback, and subconsciously let go of Shen Ming's hands, but he didn't know how he felt guilty about this action!

Edward looked at Shen Ming with burning eyes, as if he wanted to pierce the palm he held with Fan Dong just now.

Fan Dong stepped forward to block Shen Ming, and faced Edward: "Why is Commander Edward here?"

Hearing Fan Dong's straightforward question, Edward narrowed his eyes.This guy has become more and more courageous recently, and dares to protect this Shen Ming in front of him!

Edward said: "After chatting with Mr. Qiu, come over and discuss something with His Majesty." He looked at Shen Ming behind Fan Dong.

Shen Ming took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, Commander Edward, I will go back first."

Fan Dong hurriedly asked: "Ah Ming, when are you and Mr. Qiu leaving? I'll see you off!"

Edward stepped forward and grabbed Fan Dong's hand.

Shen Ming said: "Mr. Qiu and I just came to say goodbye to Your Majesty and Commander Edward. Since Your Majesty and Commander Edward have both agreed, we are leaving immediately. Your Majesty does not need to send each other off." He said firmly, "Anyway, Not coming back."

Shen Ming's words inexplicably made Fan Dong feel relieved, and the palms that were tense and trying to break free from Edward's hands quickly relaxed.

Edward noticed Fan Dong's slight change, and his palm tightened slightly, strangling Fan Dong's wrist.

Fan Dong glared at Edward.

Edward said: "Then your Majesty and I will not see you off."

Shen Ming glanced at Fan Dong, nodded seriously, turned and walked out.

It was sunny outside, but unfortunately it was too bright.Shen Ming's footsteps faltered, and he quickened his pace.Walking out of the study room where Fan Dong was, and the palace where Fan Dong was, soon, Shen Ming saw Qiu Fengbai standing in front of the palace gate waiting for him.

Shen Ming's floating heart seemed to return to its original position.Shen Ming's expression was as usual, and he called out respectfully: "Mr. Qiu."

Qiu Fengbai glanced at Shen Ming, and after making sure that his mental power showed no sign of disorder, he said: "I'm going this time, I don't know if I can come back. Are you sure you want to go with me?"

Shen Ming said: "Yes, Mr. Qiu, I want to go with you." Here he can't help much anymore, with Shen Mo and white ginseng, Fan Dong will not lack the herbs he grows.The "over there" is just the opposite. If he doesn't investigate and solve it, it might break the hard-won peace of the Ryan Empire.

Qiu Fengbai said: "You probably didn't say anything in front of His Majesty, did you?"

Shen Ming shook his head.

This time, they were going to investigate the secret realm on the Bell Empire.The situation there is very dangerous, but that's where his father was last seen.Recently, Qiu Fengbai got some clues, all kinds of clues showed that there were very important things there, and it was precisely because his father was able to get them that he was hunted down by so many people!

Qiu Fengbai got the news that Gu Delin and others will go to the secret realm of the Bell Empire on the next full moon night!

Qiu Fengbai decided to take Shen Ming there.

Everything he did was to find out the truth and avenge Shen Ming's father. It was rare for Gu Delin to "revisit his old place", so how could he not be there?

Qiu Feng sighed in vain, and said: "A Ming, you don't have to go."

Shen Ming shook his head firmly.

He is going.

If he wanted to, of course he could stay in the Ryan Empire forever, let Fan Dong protect him, and never touch those dangerous things for the rest of his life.But he didn't want to, he didn't want to be a waste being protected behind him.

Fan Dong taught him how to be a dignified person, then he must live a dignified appearance for Fan Dong to see, and he must not let the Ryan Empire that Fan Dong wholeheartedly protect be implicated because of his own affairs!

Shen Ming looked back at the tall castle.

Goodbye, Your Majesty.

Fan Dong didn't hear Shen Ming's solemn farewell, he was busy dealing with Edward, whose eyes were a little hot.

Edward squeezed Fan Dong's palm repeatedly, as if studying which piece of skin was attached to Shen Ming's palm just now.

Fan Dong's scalp was numb.

He said: "Edward, you have to be reasonable. I just talked to Ah Ming in a very ordinary way. Shaking hands when talking is very pure..."

Edward said: "Of course, that's very pure." He shamelessly slapped back, "Why does Your Majesty explain this to me?"

Fan Dong: "..."

Edward said: "I remember that when His Majesty just woke up, he stood in front of Shen Ming and discussed with me, saying that you want this slave..."

Seeing that Edward turned up the old score, Fan Dong took two steps back.But when Edward mentioned the word slave, Fan Dong became unhappy again: "Ah Ming is not a slave!"

Edward snorted: "Of course not a slave. Your Majesty changed the slave system to the employment system for him. It's really a touching and profound friendship. If I were him, maybe—"

Fan Dong couldn't bear it anymore and threw himself on Edward's body, biting Edward's neck hard.

Edward put his arms around the angry lion cub.

Fan Dong raised his head to meet Edward's eyes.

Edward kissed Fan Dong's forehead, and said: "Your Majesty, reason tells me that you will be the most loyal partner and will never betray the feelings between us; however, feelings tell me that I care very much. Knowing that Your Majesty I will not betray, I still care about it. There are so many important things and important people in His Majesty's heart, and I am just one of them."

Fan Dong was startled, put his arms around Edward's neck, raised his head and kissed him.

After the kiss was over, Edward heard what he wanted to hear most.

"Edward," said his lion cub, "you are the most important one."
