Long Yeyue's Love

The meeting concluded, and everyone dispersed.

Central Legion Commander Yu Guanzhi chose to return to the West Mountain of Ming City alongside Xie An.

However, Xie An was intercepted midway by the Council Chairman.

Hanhai Douluo Chen Xinjie, meanwhile, returned directly to the garrison of his Sea God Legion.

Ever since he stepped down as the War God Temple Master, he had chosen to remain within his own legion.

Chen Xinjie stroked the ring on his finger and whispered in his heart, "Yeyue, I will certainly help you escape from that cage."

As if by telepathy, Long Yeyue, residing in the Sea God Pavilion, was also stroking an identical ring.

Time returns to a hundred years ago.

"Yeyue, you have awakened the two top-tier martial souls of the Light and Dark Sacred Dragon. Whether our family can return to the Sea God Pavilion depends entirely on you."

At that time, Long Yeyue's family had long since lost their position in the Sea God Pavilion.

No top-tier talent had emerged from the family for a long time.

Although the Radiant Sacred Dragon martial soul had occasionally awakened in each generation, none were outstanding enough.

They did not meet the standards of the Shrek Seven Devils, let alone those of a Sea God Pavilion member.

Ever since Long Yeyue awakened the two top-tier martial souls of the Light and Dark Sacred Dragon, she had been burdened with the high expectations of her family.

And Long Yeyue did not let her family down, as her soul power increased rapidly.

One day, under the arrangements of her family, she met a man who was gentle and refined but twenty years her senior.

"From now on, I will be your teacher, here to guide your cultivation."

At that time, Long Yeyue did not harbor any thoughts of resistance; she simply accepted her family's arrangement with composure.

She followed her teacher to cultivate, and he treated her very well, as if she were his own flesh and blood.

Long Yeyue's father watched everything from the shadows, his heart filled with both satisfaction and a trace of guilt.

But more than that, it was a longing to return to the Sea God Pavilion.

"Yeyue, I have wronged you."

Long Yeyue's father thought silently in his heart.

Everything was developing in the direction Long Yeyue's father had envisioned.

Long Yeyue became one of the Shrek Seven Devils, and that man surnamed Bei achieved the rank of Title Douluo early on, becoming the designated next Sea God Pavilion Master.

Title: Heavenly Favored Douluo.

Everything was moving in a positive direction, and there was a high probability that Long Yeyue would enter the Sea God Pavilion.

Furthermore, as the saying goes, familiarity breeds affection; the feelings between Long Yeyue and that Heavenly Favored Douluo were no longer pure.

Until one day, a man who had just returned from military service visited Long Yeyue's family, changing everything.

That day, Long Yeyue was cultivating at home, and there was no one else present.

A knock sounded at the door.

After opening the door, Long Yeyue felt her face flush with heat.

The man who arrived had a heroic countenance, and his long years of military life had imbued him with an iron-blooded temperament that others could not possess.

Although she masked it well, it was still captured by the visitor.

"My name is Chen Xinjie. I presume this beautiful lady before me is Ms. Long Yeyue."

Chen Xinjie poked his head into the room, and upon realizing there was no one else, he felt a desire to retreat.

Long Yeyue, for some unknown reason, impulsively stopped the man who had introduced himself as Chen Xinjie and invited him inside.

"I just returned from the army. This time, I am here on my father's orders to visit Long Yeyue's father."

Long Yeyue did not hear clearly what Chen Xinjie was saying; she just kept pouring tea and serving water, her gaze never leaving him.

When Chen Xinjie fell into a moment of silence, Long Yeyue seized the opportunity to start a conversation.

"Can you tell me some stories about your time in the army?"

Chen Xinjie was well-versed in his own military experiences, and he spoke eloquently and vividly about his time in the service.

As for Long Yeyue, she stared at him with infatuated eyes, her heart filled with a yearning for the outside world.

Due to the constraints of her family, she had spent years only cultivating, like a flower in a greenhouse, suddenly seeing the vast world.

"Your name is Chen Xinjie, right? Can you come visit me often in the future?"

Long Yeyue saw Chen Xinjie to the door and finally spoke these words.

Afterward, Chen Xinjie visited every few days, and the feelings between the two warmed and transformed without them realizing it.

"Chen Xinjie, my parents aren't home today. Come over to see me."

A somewhat commanding voice came through.

Long Yeyue was exceptionally beautiful today, her face lightly adorned with makeup, her cherry-red lips making one unable to resist the urge to take a bite, her eyes swirling with emotion as if they contained endless words.

The black dress added a touch of opulent heaviness to her appearance, and the black leather, red-bottomed high heels she wore, paired with long black stockings that reached beneath the hem of her skirt, lent her an air that was seven parts noble and three parts alluring.

Her long black hair cascaded down to her waist like a strip of silk, making others unable to resist the urge to reach out and touch it.

Guan Yue was momentarily dazed at the sight of Long Yeyue.

"Don't just stand there like a fool, Xinjie. Come over and have some food and wine."

"Oh, right."

Having seen his fair share of beauties, Guan Yue responded somewhat unnaturally.

"Come, drink this glass. I am truly grateful for your company over these past six months."

"There's no one else home. My father went out to a banquet, and my mother doesn't live here."

Long Yeyue's eyes shimmered as a faint smile graced her face.

Guan Yue felt as though her face were incredibly close to his; he could already smell that fresh, sweet scent belonging to a young girl, and a faint warmth kept brushing against his face.

His face flushed, but he took the wine glass and, as if to bolster his own courage, downed it in one gulp.

Guan Yue snuck a few glances at Long Yeyue.

She was so beautiful today; her lips were so rosy, and her eyes were so enchanting.

Guan Yue drank the wine Long Yeyue poured for him again, his eyes once more drifting toward her involuntarily.

The more he looked, the faster his heart beat; the more he looked, the more he felt there was something different about Long Yeyue today; the more he looked, the more it felt as if an incredibly scorching power was surging through his body.

Guan Yue's consciousness gradually began to blur, yet he felt as though he were exceptionally strong.

Today, Long Yeyue seemed like an obedient little kitten, allowing him to pin her beneath him and change her into a new set of clothes.

The kitten was submissive, only occasionally letting out a few tiny protests.

The lights in the room went out, and the curtains kept the room in darkness.

"..."

"Guan Yue, let's break up."

Long Yeyue had confessed her feelings to Guan Yue, wanting him to take her away.

Guan Yue, however, wanted to achieve success in his career first before returning to marry Long Yeyue.

At that time, he carried the high expectations of the War God Temple, and he wanted to become the War God Temple Master before returning to wed her.

But Long Yeyue wanted true freedom and true love; she wanted to escape the arrangements made by her family and run away with Guan Yue to the ends of the earth.

Yet, Guan Yue's approach left her disappointed.

In the end, the two parted on bad terms.

"I carry the burden of my family, and you have your ideals. It is better that we part ways."

Long Yeyue left; she did not choose Guan Yue.

Later, the Heavenly Favored Douluo discovered the child in Long Yeyue's womb and tried to ask who the father was, but Long Yeyue refused to say a word.

Helpless, in order to protect her reputation, he chose to marry her.

The Heavenly Favored Douluo chose to bear the infamy for Long Yeyue.

Upon hearing this news, Guan Yue chose to follow his family's arrangements and married a young lady from a family of equal standing.

Not long after, Long Yeyue's child died in the womb.

After that, the Heavenly Favored Douluo, who had already attained the rank of Limit Douluo, took in two youths with exceptional talent, Yun Ming and Guan Yue.

"..."

"Yeyue, rest assured, I will definitely help you escape that cage."

Guan Yue stroked the ring on his finger once more.

His original wife had passed away a long time ago.

In recent years, when he was alone, he often found himself thinking of the little moments he shared with Long Yeyue in his youth, becoming increasingly stubborn.
