Initial Volume: Reborn in a Different World, Blooming Youth 2008 Midnight Visitor

  Ink Wash Building

  Five steps one guard, ten steps one post. Each of the guards clad in silver armor sealed off the entire Ink-dyed Building layer by layer. Every single one of them exuded an aura of bloodthirstiness that had been tempered through countless battles, they were all elite soldiers under the command of War King Yun Qianye.

  The four sides of the Ink Dyeing Building are all open spaces, without any grass or trees that can be used for cover. Standing in the commanding heights of the Ink Dyeing Building, one can see everything that is happening below. The Ink Dyeing Building is a key location in the Wang Fu, where King Cloud Thousand Night handles military documents.

  The wide window was open, allowing the clear wind to carry the distant fragrance of flowers into the room. The moonlight outside hung high in the clouds, calmly embracing the warmth and coldness of the world, with its own shadows and light. The moonlight fell quietly into the ink-colored building, casting a scattered glow on the white marble floor.

  A golden beast incense burner wafted a faint scent, under the tall and neat bookshelf, Yun Qianye sat in front of the desk, holding a vermilion pen in his hand, his eyes scanning between the high piles of documents. On the desk, an orange crystal lamp emitted soft and gentle light.

  "Your Highness, it's getting late!"

  Mo Jian looked out of the window at the night scene and furrowed his brow involuntarily.

  "It doesn't matter, I will deal with these documents and then go to bed. The border has been unstable recently, and war is bound to break out soon!"

  A faint hint of helplessness floated on Yun Qianye's cold and overbearing face. The various countries were vying for hegemony, but the ones who suffered were the common people and the tens of thousands of soldiers!

  "Your Highness, I'll go prepare some tea and refreshments!"

  Mo Jian's voice was cool and calm, with a hint of concern. He knew the king's temperament, once he made up his mind, it would not change. Tonight, he feared another sleepless night, as the king had been reviewing the backlog of documents from the past few days, and with his temperament, he would not rest until they were all processed.

  I don't know what the king was thinking, he obviously didn't like the queen, yet he stayed in the bridal chamber for two days and three nights on their wedding night!

  Is it because he's been suppressed for over twenty years and has become warped? But King Wang doesn't seem like that kind of person, does he?

  Otherwise, in these twenty years, with his identity and status, handsome appearance, it's easy to find a woman, isn't it?

  Not to mention far away, there is already a beautiful woman waiting for sympathy in this warlord's mansion!

  Forget it, I don't want to think about these things anymore! The king's thoughts are beyond one's own guesswork!

  Mo Jian shook his head and walked out of the Mo Dye building, instructing the guards a few times. When he returned to the study with the tea and snacks, he saw that several uninvited guests had appeared here at some point. There was Yin Lv Feng, whose beauty was mesmerizing; Yun Luo Yun, the king of the Cloud Creek; and another one was Xian Wang Ye Yun Yue Xian.

  "Oh my! I said, Xiao Ye, it's the middle of the night and you're still awake, did you suddenly have an epiphany that you want to hang out with me?"

  Yin Lv Feng smiled with a ambiguous expression, raised his thick eyebrows, picked up a crystal-like pastry with one hand and sent it into his mouth.

  "Haha, doesn't that mean our Yunyan Empire has gained another charming young lady killer?"

  The fair-faced King Xun Yue Yun, fanning himself with a white feather fan, had a few hints of playful teasing in his eyes.

  "Wow! Isn't the second imperial sister-in-law pitiful! Speaking of which, the second imperial brother is really too unrighteous. Luckily, I and the fourth imperial brother rushed to the palace today with anxiety and eagerness, wanting to catch a glimpse of the second imperial sister-in-law's face, but you actually let our pigeon go!"

  Liu Wangye said with a fiery tone, he poured himself a cup of steaming hot Yunwu Mountain tea and sat down in front of Yun Qianye's desk, taking a sip.

  "Oh? You're also interested in that woman?"

  The War King Yun Qianye's hand holding a vermilion brush paused, his icy and overbearing voice carried a few hints of chilling intent.

  "Uh, Second Imperial Brother, don't get me wrong! We're not having any improper thoughts about your queen, we just want to see what the number one beauty of the Yunyan Empire looks like!"

  Luo Wangye smiled awkwardly and hastily poured a cup of tea, presenting it to Yun Qianye.

  "Ruan Qincheng is almost never seen outside, and no one has ever seen her true appearance. This title of the number one beauty in Yunyan Empire is probably fake! It's said that she's born foolish and won't live past twenty years old! The marriage arranged by the eldest imperial brother is truly absurd!"

  Xian Wangye Yunyue Xianyi's face turned gloomy with indignation, his normally pale complexion now overcast with a dark expression.

  "Imperial brother! You're overthinking it! The Emperor has his reasons for doing this. All the rumors are just empty talk, who knows if Ruan Qinxin is really that bad?"

  Liu Wangye's face, which was originally playful and irreverent, suddenly revealed a few strands of stern color.

  Mo Jian glanced at the two princes and bowed his head, standing silently beside Yun Qianye.

  "You two stop talking about this, don't forget our goal! Beautiful woman!"

  Yin Lv Feng curled his lips, the open and secret struggles within the imperial family were not fun things to watch. It seemed that Ruan Qincheng would be a key point in the current situation, but he didn't know how beautiful the legendary first beauty of the Yunyan Empire was?

  Just looking at Qian Ye's expression of eating without taste and discarding it as a pity, Ruan Qinzhen seems to have no great charm either!

  How curious! Really too curious!

  "You will see each other again soon! It's getting late, you all disperse!"

  Yun Qianye gave them a displeased glance, her tone flat and unenthusiastic, yet it sent shivers down their spines.

  He's giving them an ultimatum, if they don't leave, things might get ugly next!

  "See you again in the palace tomorrow, elder brother!"

  Ling Wangye said that Ling Luo can run the fastest, he is most afraid of Second Brother Huang Tianye, if he gets angry, no one can withstand it. If not now, when?

  "Not sending!"

  Yun Qianye saw his figure, which was even faster than a rabbit's, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

  "Your Majesty, I bid you farewell!"

  Xian Wangye Yunyue Xian is a very tactful person, he left with a swing of his sleeve, not bringing away even a wisp of cloud, except for the pastries on the table that were personally made by the beautiful Phoenix.

  "Rù Fēng, are you looking to spar with me?"

  Yun Qianye gazed at Yin Lü Feng with a smile that was not quite a smile, her eyes lingering on him reluctantly. The cold glint in her pupils was like the chill of a moonless night, piercing through to his very soul.

  "Xiao Ye, you misunderstood! They just can't bear to part with you!"

  Yin Lv Feng threw a charming glance and said with deep feeling. One hand rested on Yun Qian Ye's shoulder, as if ready to make a passionate move!

  "Get out of here! Stop with this nonsense!"

  Yun Qianye kicked one foot past, and Yin Lv Feng's body flashed, appearing at the window. On his enchantingly beautiful face, a radiant smile bloomed like a flower.

  "Xiao Ye, you told me to scram, and I'm scrambling! See how considerate I am!"

  Yin Lü Feng's red clothes fluttered as she tapped her toes and vanished in an instant.

  "This guy!"

  Yun Qianye couldn't help but shake her head as she watched him walk away, his back figure disappearing into the distance.

  "Hmph, Qian Ye still thinks that by hiding Ruan Xinzhen, I won't be able to find him! Which part of the War King's Manor haven't I been to? Beautiful woman, I'm here!"

  Yin Lv Feng darted back and forth in the shadows of the trees, his lips curled up into a captivating arc.
