Chapter Fifty-Seven: Rainy Begonia

  "Last night the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, and I couldn't shake off the lingering effects of the wine. I asked the person rolling up the curtains, but they said the begonia was still the same. Do you know? Do you know? It should be that the green is plump and the red is thin! The Water Spirit in Flowing Cloud's arms, at this moment, is just like a begonia after the rain."

  At dawn, Li Qingchen woke up and gazed at the woman sleeping in his arms, and he couldn't help but be enchanted. The previous night had been a wild one, with the wine making him drunk, and under its influence, he had poured out all the suppressed emotions and desires that had been building up inside him for so long, repeatedly pinning her down beneath him as they indulged in passionate abandon, until finally, exhausted, he fell asleep embracing her limp body.

  "Did I do something wrong again?"

  In the morning light, Shuiling was exceptionally sweet and pure, with a hint of tears in the corner of her eyes. Her snowy skin had purple-red lip marks all over it.

  Everything that happened at night was like a dream, the flowing clouds in the dream finally got relief, throwing all troubles behind and only for that moment of joy.

  Liu Yun never thought of himself as a saint, nor did he think that a normal man could remain rational and sober in such a situation. He vaguely remembered that when he had the Water Spirit Girl, there was a clear idea in his mind: "Even if taking one more step is hell, is sinking, tonight I want you to be my woman."

  "When she wakes up, how am I supposed to face her?" Liuyun couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

  Shuiling'er opened her eyes, she lifted her head - she saw him.

  He felt her body stir and knew she was awake; he lowered his head - and then he saw her.

  One glance was bewildered, one glance was affectionate and ashamed. The feeling of this glance made the two hearts beat violently. The subtlety of this glance is also something that no language or words can describe. It's the maturity of unfamiliar emotions, the dependence of confused emotions - as if a rootless duckweed had found its anchor.

  "Do you hate me, Ling'er?"

  The silence was broken by the restless sound of flowing clouds.

  Shuǐ Líng's face flushed with a red cloud, and she shyly shook her head, burying it in Liú Yún's chest, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist.

  The bashful expression, the silent confession, and the deep hug made Liú Yún feel inexplicably moved, and his mood also lightened up. As he stroked through her silky hair, his hand fell onto her brocade-like back muscles, and as they savored this rare moment of tenderness, Liú Yún felt a certain part of his body become hard and hot again.

  Shuǐ Líng's body also trembled slightly from the scalding.

  "No, it's already daylight, I still have to get up and do things." Panting, Shuiling raised her head and said softly, with a hint of spring in her eyes.

  "I didn't plan on doing anything!" Liuyun smiled mischievously and her body swayed again.

  Shuiling'er lowered her head in hatred and gently bit into Liuyun's chest.

  When getting up, Shuiling thought of helping Liuxing get dressed, but was stopped by him.

  "Let me help you instead. You look lethargic, haven't recovered yet?"

  Just one sentence scared Water Spirit back into the quilt. Flow Cloud could only helplessly smile, get dressed and leave the room first.

  It was already mid-November, and the morning breeze carried a hint of chill. However, Liú Yún felt invigorated and refreshed, with his whole body feeling comfortable. On the training ground, team members had already begun their new day's training. Liú Yún stood at the edge of the training ground, basking in the clear morning sunlight.

  "Have I already forgotten her?"

  Liuyun quickly negated the idea in his heart. He didn't know that when he thought of her less often, it didn't mean he had forgotten her, but rather because his longing for her had become second nature.

  "What's the next move for Black Eagle? Hiding in a corner won't be a long-term solution. After the Battle of Cold City, I think many people have already heard of the name 'Black Eagle Mercenary Group'. How will the various forces react?"

  Liú Yún suddenly felt that he had made a very big mistake.

  "Newsflash! I actually forgot such an important point, living life like a blind and deaf person."

  "Scarlet tears, are you doing well in the Imperial City? It seems that I still need to rely on your power for intelligence matters."

  Thinking of it, the image of Hua Yun's face, with tears in her eyes and a mixture of joy and anger, appeared before him once again.

  After returning to the Eagle Academy, he received a letter left by Huā Jiè. The letter said that she had decided to transport this year's wine production to the Imperial Capital, with one batch handed over to the Imperial Army and another for self-sale. At the same time, she also asked if he would return to the Imperial Capital during the New Year.

  "Hey, up early!" Nalando walked over from the playground, smiling and greeting Liuyun.

  "You got up late today, and you're making fun of me? Damn it, it's those little rabbits again, they've gotten me all dizzy and confused." Flowing Cloud scolded with a smile.

  "Heh heh, just drink a bit more, it's fine. If you get drunk, someone will care about you."

  "Stop messing around with me and let's talk about something serious!" This person, once having done something wrong, would feel guilty and try to change the subject.

  "Yes!" Nalan stood up straight with a smile still on his face.

  "I'd like to ask, what about the 50 elven archers? The men are easy to deal with, just have them train with us. But the women are a hassle, wherever they appear, our team members will all stare at them."

  "This is indeed a problem." Liú Yún lowered her head and began to think.

  Female soldiers have always been the most beautiful scenery in the army, but also the creators of trouble. The male nature of protecting the weak is always stirred up by them to the extreme. It has never been heard that anyone would abandon female soldiers and run away alone on the battlefield. But once mismanaged, it will also lead to many disputes and jealousies.

  "There are only twenty males among these spirits, but thirty females." Nalendra continued.

  "Alright, men go to the Wind Squad first. Women, throw them into the Beast Camp for a while and then form a separate squad."

  After getting out of bed, Shuiling stared at the copper mirror for half a day. After a night of wind and rain, her mood became even more complicated. The hatred she once had was dissolved in the gentle affection of Liuyun, and the person she almost lost forever suddenly became the most intimate person. However, she felt very conflicted in her heart because she was just an ordinary woman, while this man was destined to be extraordinary.

  "What should I do?" Shuiling stared blankly at the mirror, only to discover that her appearance had become even more charming, and she couldn't help but recall the passion of the previous night, her face flushing red again.

  After thinking for a while, she seemed to have made up her mind. After leaving the room, she secretly found Hippo.

  "Xibo big brother, from today on, can you teach me some martial skills?"

  Xibo heard this and stared at her with his mouth agape for a long time before asking, "Ling'er young lady, you say, you want to learn martial arts?"

  Shuiling bit her teeth and nodded slightly.

  In the beast camp, Iverson looked at the swallows in front of him and his scalp was numb.

  "You humans are really disgusting, who would have thought of such training?" A delicate female elf covered her nose and said in a soft voice.

  "Ugh——you guys...are you going to let the spirit...live or not..." A spirit MM spat out, rolling her eyes back and panting with indignation.

  ...... In the beast camp, a cacophony of female voices rose up, chaotic and disorderly.

  At this time, Nalun led dozens of members of the Wind System team to walk in. Shui Han waved his hand and dozens of people surrounded the beautiful elves.

  "Give it all to me." Shui Han said loudly after nodding at Na Lun. This decision directly led to Shui Han regretting for a long time, as many team members found beautiful elf girlfriends, but he remained single.

  The sound of "plop plop" kept ringing out, one by one beautiful figures disappeared into the blood pool, leaving behind a string of bubbles.

  A few days later, good news came from the Imperial Capital. Liuyun Liu left Nalenduo, Aifosen and Old Ka to preside over the Eagle Academy, while he took Shuiling'er, Are, Xibo, Shuihan and the members of the Wind System team, and set off back to the Imperial Capital.

  Thus, Liu Yun officially stepped onto the political stage of the Imperial Capital.
