Chapter 119 My niece, Ruolan
Ruolan raised her head, her eyes filled with deep affection: "Yichen, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you were the one destined for me. No matter how bumpy the road ahead may be, I am willing to walk hand in hand with you."
They smiled at each other, as if all the hardships and obstacles had vanished in that moment. They embraced tightly, as if trying to merge themselves into one another, never to be separated again.
The night at Tianmen Mountain was peaceful and beautiful, with a clear breeze and a bright moon. Ruolan and Yun Yichen strolled hand in hand along the mountain path, enjoying the gifts of nature.
They whispered to each other at times, and laughed heartily at others; their hearts resonated with each other like never before.
"Ruolan, look at that moon, it's just like your eyes, bright and gentle." Yun Yichen pointed to the bright moon in the sky, his eyes full of tenderness.
Ruolan lowered her head shyly, a blush rising on her face: "You're good at making me happy."
Yun Yichen gently flicked Ruolan's nose and smiled, "I'm telling the truth, so don't disbelieve me."
The two walked hand in hand to the edge of a cliff in Tianmen Mountain. The view was expansive, and they could see the distant lights twinkling in the distance, reflecting the starlight in the sky, creating a breathtaking scene.
"Yichen, do you know? I've always dreamed of having a lover to watch the stars and the moon with me here, forever." Ruolan nestled in Yun Yichen's arms, her voice filled with longing.
Yun Yichen held Ruolan's hand tightly and said affectionately, "Ruolan, I will help you realize your dream. From now on, no matter where you are in the world, I will be by your side and see all the beautiful scenery of this world together."
Ruolan was moved to tears. She hugged Yun Yichen tightly, as if she wanted to remember this deep affection forever.
The two of them nestled together quietly, watching the stars in the sky light up one by one and then go out one by one, as if time had frozen at that moment.
That night, the two had endless things to say, including unspoken matters between a man and a woman.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Yichen said softly, "Ruolan, it's getting late, we should go down the mountain."
"Where to?" Ruolan asked, looking up.
"Today is the day I promised to report to the Southern King's Palace."
"How many days have we been together?"
Yun Yichen hugged his beloved tightly and said, "It's been three days already."
Ruolan blushed and clicked her tongue, saying, "Have you been taking advantage of me for so long?"
The two walked down the mountain hand in hand, chatting and laughing all the way, as if they had endless things to talk about.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Ruolan suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Yun Yichen earnestly: "Yichen, I want to tell you something."
Yun Yichen was slightly taken aback, then said gently, "Go ahead and speak, I'm listening."
Ruolan took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind: "Yichen, I am willing to follow you, wherever you go, I am willing to accompany you. But I hope you can give me a promise, which is to never betray me."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yichen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He held Ruolan's hand tightly and said affectionately, "Ruolan, rest assured, I, Yun Yichen, will only love you in this life and will never betray you."
Upon hearing this, Ruolan smiled happily and hugged Yun Yichen tightly, as if she wanted to forever engrave this deep affection in her heart.
The two embraced and laughed, as if the whole world was moved. They knew that from this moment on, their lives would no longer be lonely.
Yun Yichen received a personal letter from the Prince of the South, inviting him to join the Dragon Family Army.
Upon hearing the news, Ruolan was filled with reluctance, yet also immense joy. Long Bin might not know who Ruolan was, but Ruolan knew she was Long Bin's junior apprentice.
Before her death, her master told her that the Southern King of Great Xia was her uncle-master, and that he would one day become the unifying emperor of the Great Empire, the founding monarch of Dinghai Kingdom.
Therefore, she reminded Yun Yichen to seek refuge with a wise ruler. As a general, Yun Yichen had his responsibilities and missions, as well as his ambitions to serve the country and its people.
The Southern King was concerned about the well-being of the people and strongly promoted the system of arable land per capita, which deeply attracted Yun Yichen.
Today, Yun Yichen is going to Taiping Prefecture to report for duty, and she cannot selfishly keep him by her side.
As they parted, Ruolan hugged Yun Yichen tightly, tears welling in her eyes: "Yichen, you must come back safely. I'll be waiting for you."
Yun Yichen kissed Ruolan's forehead tenderly and said gently, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back. When I return, we will get married."
Upon hearing this, Ruolan smiled happily and held Yun Yichen's hand tightly, as if she wanted to remember this deep affection forever.
Yun Yichen reluctantly left Tianmen Mountain. He knew that he had a great responsibility on his shoulders and that he had to do his best to expand the territory of the Southern King.
Yun Yichen participated in a three-month training course for generals in Lishui County and won Long Bin's praise with his excellent performance. During this time, Ruolan came to visit Yun Yichen. The ring on her ring finger caught Long Bin's attention, and Ruolan had to kneel down to pay respects to her uncle.
Long Bin scolded her and then had Xiao Rong take Ruolan back to the Southern Prince's Mansion.
Master Ruolan and Nun Xin are the mortal daughters of the immortal elder. Back then, they regarded Long Bin as their own brother. Although the two siblings were 60 years apart in age, they had a very good relationship.
Long Bin's swordsmanship was a gift from his eldest sister.
During his time in the military camp, Yun Yichen was busy training every day, while also following the instructions of his senior uncle Long Bin to formulate tactics for seizing the entire territory of Dongjiang Kingdom.
Three months later, Yun Yichen was appointed garrison commander of Dantu and marshal of the eastern front of the Long family army, while Ji Fangming was transferred to Ruxu in Jiangbei to serve as marshal of the western front of the Long family army, responsible for conquering Wu's territory in Jiangbei.
It must be said that Long Bin's actions were very humane; by not letting Yun Yichen face his former master, he moved Yun Yichen to tears.
Subsequently, a grand wedding, personally presided over by Princess Xiao Rong, was held in Taiping Prefecture, where Yun Yichen and Ruolan entered the wedding hall.
At the wedding, the Southern King bestowed upon Ruolan the title of Princess Taiping. King Long Yunfu and the Seventh Prince Long Yingshan sent gifts, and the eldest prince Long Yingshen personally officiated at the wedding.
On their wedding night, under the flickering candlelight, their shadows slowly intertwined on the wall, like a moving painting.
Yun Yichen gently took Ruolan's hand in his. Her hands were delicate and soft, like the most precious treasure in his heart. He gazed at Ruolan with deep affection, his eyes filled with love and promise.
Ruolan lowered her head shyly, a blush rising on her face, yet she couldn't hide the happiness and joy in her heart. She nestled gently in Yun Yichen's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling the warmth and security that belonged to her.
The two looked into each other's eyes, and it was as if the whole world had stood still.
Yun Yichen parted his thin lips slightly and made an eternal vow, promising to protect Ruolan for life and never leave her.
Ruolan was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged Yun Yichen tightly, as if she wanted to etch this beautiful moment into her heart forever.
