n

nThe next morning, when Long Xiaoyuan was still asleep, Xu You came, followed by Fang Shuoyang.

n“Brother, are you crazy? Brother Shi spent the night at his home, but you are sleeping soundly here. Are you out of your mind?”

n“I’m not out of my mind. Are you insane?” Long Xiaoyuan wrapped his head with the blanket in pain. “I just fell asleep!”

n

n

n“You just fell asleep?” Xu You looked at him suspiciously. “You look like you’ve slept for a long time.”

nLong Xiaoyuan sighed and got out of bed.

nXu You said angrily, “I don’t think Huhe Huangcheng is a good thing. Quickly drive him away.”

nLong Xiaoyuan nodded. “He’s really not a good thing. I’ll kick him away right now.”

n

n

nXu You had a bad impression of Huhe Huangcheng.

nXu You pulled up Long Xiaoyuan, and they rushed to the general’s mansion without breakfast.

nOf course, Xu You and Fang Shuoyang went with him.

nWhen they arrived at the general’s mansion, the whole mansion came out to greet the two emperors, Fang Shuoyang and Long Xiaoyuan.

n

n

nLong Xiaoyuan cleared his throat and asked Shi Qingshan and Madam Shi to stay. The others were dismissed.

nStony and Long Huan were still asleep, so they didn’t come to greet them.

nLong Xiaoyuan cleared his throat. “Where’s Qingzhou?”

nMrs. Shi smiled slightly. “In his own courtyard. Your Majesty, please go ahead.”

nLong Xiaoyuan nodded calmly. “Okay. I’ll go and see.”

nXu You and Fang Shuoyang followed him.

n

n

nWhen they were about to reach the courtyard, they met Long Huan and Stony, who had just got up.

n“Emperor Father, good morning.” Long Huan bowed.

nLong Xiaoyuan nodded and asked him to get up.

nLong Huan quickly bowed to Fang Shuoyang and Xu You.

n“Huanhuan, don’t be too polite.” Xu You patted Long Huan’s head twice.

nStony stared at Xu You.

nXu You turned to look at Stony.

n“Are you Stony?”

n

n

n“Hello, Uncle.” Shi Manchuan was very polite in front of outsiders.

n“Hello. This is the first time I have seen you, and I didn’t prepare any gift. I’ll give you this jade pendant.”

nXu You took off the jade pendant and gave it to Shi Manchuan.

nShi Yu blinked and smiled. “Thank you, Uncle.”

nAfter they chatted for a while, Xu You shooed Long Xiaoyuan into the yard.

nThe others went to the front yard with Long Huan and Stony to have breakfast there.

nAs Long Xiaoyuan walked inside, he felt complicated.

nOne step at a time, Long Xiaoyuan went inside.

nShi Qingzhou’s room was in front of him. Long Xiaoyuan took a deep breath and then pushed the door open, walking in.

nShi Qingzhou in the room was sleeping. Long Xiaoyuan could only see his back.

nHowever, wasn’t Shi Qingzhou a martial arts expert?

nBesides, over these years his internal strength should have improved.

nWhy didn’t Shi Qingzhou wake up at the noises when he came in?

n

n

nLong Xiaoyuan thought it was unlikely.

nLong Xiaoyuan walked to the bed and quietly sat down.

nShi Qingzhou didn’t move.

nLong Xiaoyuan cleared his throat.

nShi Qingzhou was motionless.

nNow Long Xiaoyuan was sure that Qingzhou was pretending to sleep.

nLong Xiaoyuan took off his shoes and lay down in bed next to Shi Qingzhou, hugging him from behind.

nShi Qingzhou stiffened for a moment.

nAlthough it was only an instant, Long Xiaoyuan noticed it.

nHe clung closer to Shi Qingzhou.

n“Qingzhou, you’re so cruel. I asked our son to get you back. You wouldn’t go back.”

nShi Qingzhou suddenly turned his head.

n“Why do you think I’ll go back if our son comes?”

nLong Xiaoyuan blinked and said innocently, “Because I have no other way.”

nShi Qingzhou sneered. “Aren’t you staying calmly in the palace? I don’t see you are at your wit’s end.”

nLong Xiaoyuan felt aggrieved.

n“That’s because you said you don’t want to see me. I’m afraid you’ll be angrier when you see me. Doesn’t that make things worse?”

nShi Qingzhou sneered at him again.

n“I don’t want to see you. You can leave now. Don’t annoy me here.”

n“Qingzhou…” Long Xiaoyuan screamed miserably and threw himself at Shi Qingzhou, shaking him.

n“Don’t be so cruel. I have nothing to do with this. I didn’t even look at that dancer. You know that it’s Huhe Huangcheng’s fault. Why do you blame me instead of getting back at him? It’s so unfair!”

nLong Xiaoyuan screamed miserably, which would bring people to tears.

nShi Qingzhou rolled his eyes. “Come on. Stop making a scene here.”

n“Qingzhou, do you forgive me?” Long Xiaoyuan’s eyes lit up.

nShi Qingzhou took a lazy glance at him, “What do you think?”

n“Qingzhou, you’re so nice.” Long Xiaoyuan hugged Shi Qingzhou and kissed him hard.

n“By the way, Qingzhou, Huanhuan and Stony are outside. Xu You and Fang Shuoyang are here too.”

n“Okay.” Shi Qingzhou nodded and got up to put on his clothes.

nLong Xiaoyuan quickly went up to help him. “Qingzhou, I’ll help you.”

nShi Qingzhou glanced at him and didn’t refuse.

nAfter Long Xiaoyuan served Shi Qingzhou, he put on his shoes.

nThe couple went out of the room.

n“Brother.” Shi Manchuan saw Shi Qingzhou coming over first, and he looked like a mouse seeing a cat.

nShi Qingzhou glanced at him lightly. “Have you finished your morning homework?”

n“Not yet… I’ll do it after breakfast.”

n“You can’t have breakfast before you’re done.” Shi Qingzhou interrupted him lightly.

nShi Manchuan shuddered and hurriedly said, “Yes, Brother, I’ll go now.”

nShi Manchuan quickly ran away.

nLong Huan hesitated and said, “Empress Father, I like to go with him.”

nShi Qingzhou waved his hand. “Go ahead.”

nLong Huan left as well.

nXu You said after the two children left. “Brother Shi, are you being too strict with Stony? He looked pitiful just now…”

nShi Qingzhou sneered. “You are deceived by his appearance.”

nXiu You looked at Long Xiaoyuan, puzzled. “Appearance? What do you mean?”

nLong Xiaoyuan smiled slightly. “Stony pretends to be cute and sweet in front of strangers. Actually he is so naughty that he causes headache to General Shi and Qingzhou.”

n“Really?” Xu You was a little surprised. “I really can’t tell.”

nAfterwards, they started talking about educating children.

nThe crown prince chosen by Xu You and Fang Shuoyang had no big problems.

nHowever, he liked to figure out things that he shouldn’t know. For example, he once accidentally heard Xu You and Fang Shuoyang doing that thing.

nHe asked Xu You what was going on.

nXiu You lied that he was sick.

nThe crown prince insisted on knowing what illness it was. Xu You was overwhelmed.

nThe saying was right.

nEvery family had its own troubles.

nAfter breakfast, Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan came over.

nThey heard that Long Xiaoyuan had come out of the palace, so they came to see him.

nLiu Suifeng accepted an apprentice three years ago, who was a fifteen-year-old mature teenager.

nNow he could work independently at Liu Suifeng’s clinic.

nTherefore, when Liu Suifeng was not working, his apprentice would replace him.

nThis apprentice was accepted by coincidence, and he was very sensible when they met him. In a word, Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan had never experienced the hard work of bringing up children.

nIn addition, the apprentice had not caused any troubles, so Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan didn’t need to worry about him.

nAfter they arrived, Liu Suifeng felt the pulse of Shi Qingshan and Madam Shi as usual and made the prescription for their health.

nBasically, the prescription would change every two months.

nAfter that, Long Xiaoyuan said, “It’s rare for all of us to gather together. The weather is not bad today. Why don’t we go to Pan Mountain?”

n“Pan Mountain?” Liu Suifeng raised an eyebrow. “Why are you going there?”

n“The scenery there is great. It has been a long time since I last went there. I miss it a little.” Long Xiaoyuan sighed.

nOuyang Chuan had no objections, saying, “Let’s go.”

nFang Shuoyang and Xu You had no objections.

nIn fact, Xu You had a complicated feeling towards Pan Mountain.

nFang Shuoyang’s mother was pushed off the mountain and got seriously injured. Although Fang Shuoyang moved her to the imperial palace of the Eastern Darkness, she had not fully recovered.

nZhou Huan said several times that it was good to stay outside the palace, but Fang Shuoyang and Xu You refused, so in the end, she stayed in the imperial palace of the Eastern Darkness.

nSometimes, when Fang Shuoyang and Xiu You came to Tianlong Dynasty, she came with them.

nBut she didn’t come this year.

nAlthough Fang Shuoyang was not Zhou Huan’s biological son, he regarded her as his own mother.

nSo did Xu You.

nThey arrived at Pan Mountain with the two children.

nAs soon as he got outside, Shi Manchuan showed his true color and ran in all directions.

nHe bounced all the way with Long Huan and would not walk properly.

nXiu You was stunned.

n“He’s really naughty.”

nShi Qingzhou said, “Yes, so he needs discipline.”

nFang Shuoyang smiled. “That’s good.”

nLong Xiaoyuan agreed. “I said the same, but Qingzhou and his father disagree.”

nLiu Suifeng said, “It’s normal.”

nThey walked slowly up the mountain without using lightness techniques.

nThe two children walked in the front.

nWith so many experts watching, they were not worried about the children’s safety.

nOn the way up, Long Xiaoyuan was the weakest among them.

nWhen everyone else was vigorous, he was panting.

nShi Qingzhou helped him.

nLong Xiaoyuan said, “It’s really tiring.”

nShi Qingzhou looked at him in amusement.

n“And you suggested climbing the mountain?”

nLong Xiaoyuan glared at him. “What’s wrong with me? Compared to ordinary people, my physical strength is very good, okay? All of you are like monsters, and that shows that my physical strength is inferior to yours.”

nLong Xiaoyuan was telling the truth.

nBeing together with a bunch of martial arts experts with strong internal strength, he looked especially weak.

nEven Xu You had high lightness techniques…

nAfter some time, Long Xiaoyuan finally climbed to the top.

nIn fact, they had not been to the mountain top before.

nIn the past, something always happened when they were half way up the Pan Mountain or in the valley.

nIt was nice to climb to the top of the mountain without a break.

nLong Xiaoyuan was almost paralyzed when he got to the top.

nShi Qingzhou pulled him up.

n“You just got here, and you can’t lie down like this. It’s not good for your health. Get up and walk for a while.”

nLong Xiaoyuan waved helplessly. “No… I’m really old.”

nLiu Suifeng sneered. “When you were young, you were weak. Please don’t push the blame on your age, okay?”

nLong Xiaoyuan’s face darkened. He picked up a stone and tossed it at Liu Suifeng.

nLiu Suifeng was able to dodge it, but when he tried to dodge, Shi Qingzhou stopped him.

nIf Liu Suifeng wanted to avoid it, he had to push Shi Qingzhou away.

nWhile he was hesitating, the little stone hit his face.

nLiu Suifeng’s face darkened.

nLong Xiaoyuan laughed out loud. “It serves you right! This is retribution!”

nThe two children laughed when they saw Liu Suifeng’s embarrassment.

nLong Huan lost his inhibitions when he got to wilderness in the company of Stony.

nHe smiled a lot, no longer as tense as an adult.

nLong Xiaoyuan got up from the ground, and Liu Suifeng jumped over.

n“Come on.” Liu Suifeng beckoned at Long Xiaoyuan. “Let’s have a fight.”

nLong Xiaoyuan smiled. “Alright. I’m not afraid of you. But let’s make it straight first. No one can use his internal power.”

nLiu Suifeng laughed. “Of course you don’t need to use your poor internal power. Don’t worry, I don’t need it.”

nLong Xiaoyuan nodded and suddenly narrowed his eyes. “Speaking of which, I have a new set of boxing techniques. I’m looking for someone to test it.”

nLiu Suifeng raised an eyebrow. “New boxing techniques?”

n“Yes.” Long Xiaoyuan looked complacent.

n“Come on. Come over here. I’ll let you experience it,” Long Xiaoyuan said and hooked his finger at Liu Suifeng.

nLiu Suifeng was really interested, so he walked over.

nLong Xiaoyuan looked behind Liu Suifeng and his expression changed. “What is that?!”

nStartled, Liu Suifeng thought there was an assassin, so he instinctively looked back. At that moment, Long Xiaoyuan punched his chin.

nAfter that, Long Xiaoyuan threw himself directly at Liu Suifeng. He didn’t follow any rules, kicking and punching as he liked.

nLiu Suifeng was frustrated.

nEveryone was speechless.

n“Emperor Father is cheating,” Long Huan said softly.

nShi Manchuan said, “Brother Long Huan, you can’t be so honest. Even you know that your Emperor Father is cheating, you can’t speak up. He is the Emperor.” Long Huan who whispered, “I got it.”

nThe rest of the people were lost for words.

nLiu Suifeng soon came back to his senses.

nLiu Suifeng wouldn’t hold back after being hit and kicked.

nThe two of them wrestled together.

nIn the end, when the two of them separated, their faces were bruised and swollen.

nLong Xiaoyuan was very angry and pointed at Liu Suifeng. “Don’t you know that you can’t hit people in the face? Why do you do that?”

nLiu Suifeng retorted, “You know that well, but you came at my face in the beginning!”

n“You’re stupid!”

n“You are stupid!”

n“You are stupid.”

n“You’re stupid!”

nThe two of them started to quarrel like children. They looked funny with their bruised faces.

nThe two children giggled.

nThe rest of the people also smiled.

nThat night, Shi Qingzhou followed Long Xiaoyuan back to the palace.

nLong Huan was escorted to his room by the Shadow Guardians after he got to the palace.

nLong Xiaoyuan held Shi Qingzhou’s hand and went to their room.

n“Qingzhou, I’ll chase Huhe Huangcheng away tomorrow.”

nShi Qingzhou said indifferently. “Okay.”

nLong Xiaoyuan said, “I’ll tear the dancer into pieces with five horses tomorrow.”

nShi Qingzhou glanced at Long Xiaoyuan with a faint smile. “Are you willing to do that?”

n“He has nothing to do with me. Why am I reluctant to do that?” Long Xiaoyuan was helpless.

nShi Qingzhou sneered. “It’s bad to kill such a good-looking man. Aren’t you afraid people would say you are cruel?”

n“I am willing to be a fatuous tyrant for you.”

nShi Qingzhou sneered. “Please don’t. I can’t afford to commit such a felony.”

nLong Xiaoyuan kissed the back of Shi Qingzhou’s hand pitifully.

n“Qingzhou, don’t be like this…”

nShi Qingzhou shook off his hand. “Come on. Stop talking nonsense. We can go take a bath now.”

n“Okay. Let’s take a shower.” Long Xiaoyuan immediately got happy.

nShi Qingzhou frowned at Long Xiaoyuan’s bruised face.

n“Does it hurt?”

n“No. He feels more pain than me.” Long Xiaoyuan giggled.

nShi Qingzhou said wryly, “He can use his internal power to heal his wounds, and he is a doctor.”

n“It’s fine. We have a lot of medicine here. I’ll apply some ointment later.”

n“Okay.” Shi Qingzhou nodded.

nAfter the bath, Shi Qingzhou carefully applied ointment on Long Xiaoyuan.

n“I guess you will be better tomorrow.”

n“I hope so. If I go to the morning court with this face tomorrow, the ministers will think that you’ve bullied me.”

nShi Qingzhou was lost for words.

nLong Xiaoyuan seemed to revel in his imagination. “However, that can only prove our love.”

nShi Qingzhou pursed his lips. “Come on. Take a good rest. Go to sleep early.”

n“Okay. I didn’t sleep well last night…” Long Xiaoyuan replied in a daze and then closed his eyes.

nShi Qingzhou glanced at the man, who had fallen asleep after closing his eyes, and he smiled…

nHe felt that life was complete with this man around.

nIt was a happy ending…

n-The end-
