Memory Crystal

When the east showed the pale white of a fish's belly, darkness's hold on the sky was gradually broken, and two carriages sped along the provincial road to Morton's main city.

This time, Angelina and Ye Luo rode in one carriage, while Ye Yi, Ye Feng, and Karrot rode in the other. Ye Luo's reason was that he needed to discuss the large mine with Princess Angelina.

The carriage was very fast, and the jolting was intense. After Ye Luo got in, he wore a look of pure enjoyment as he stared Angelina up and down, making her skin crawl. "Hey, you haven't been in any hurry the whole way, so why did you make us set out before dawn today?"

Ye Luo's lecherous gaze lingered over her proud twin peaks. "Beautiful lady, I had us leave early out of consideration for your concern for your father. Why do I feel like you're still blaming me?"

Angelina was choked speechless by Ye Luo, and his aggressive stare made her even more uncomfortable. That gaze was like a pair of large hands constantly ravaging the part of her body she was proud of. The hateful thing was that she just so happened to be powerless to resist...

"Hey, didn't you say you wanted to talk to me about the mine?" Angelina tried to shift Ye Luo's gaze away.

Yet Ye Luo said with a grin, "My adorable little girl, don't you understand that was just a pretext? The road's boring enough already, and I had to sit with those two grown men. Since there's a beauty here, of course I came to feast my eyes and flirt a little..."

"Shameless!"

"Thanks for the compliment..."

"You really have thick skin!"

"Oh my, you're praising me so much I'm getting embarrassed..."

"You!" Angelina simply turned her gaze straight out the carriage window. Out of sight, out of mind. If Ye Luo kept harassing her like this, she was going to collapse. But when she saw the trees on both sides rapidly retreating, she immediately said in surprise, "Where are you taking us? Hiller's army is to our east!"

Ye Luo looked at her teasingly. The skin revealed at Angelina's neck made his mouth go a little dry. To Ye Luo, girls who had stripped naked actually did not hold that much attraction. What he considered true temptation was something half-concealed and half-revealed. Angelina was definitely a stunning beauty, and a typical Western one at that, the rare type with youthful allure. "Of course, our destination is Morton's main city. Why would we go to Hiller's camp?"

"You... aren't you planning to assassinate Hiller? Otherwise, how are you going to defeat Morton's besieging troops?" Angelina asked, utterly puzzled.

Ye Luo smiled softly. "Morton's crisis has already been resolved. Hiller's army was completely wiped out, and Hiller himself has already been separated from his head. This road is the nearest provincial road to Morton's main city. I'm taking you straight to see your father. Of course, when the time comes, you'd better not forget our agreement..."

"Completely wiped out..." Angelina's small mouth parted slightly in shock, and she murmured dazedly, "How is that possible..."

Ye Luo leaned his head over as if he were about to bite Angelina's ear. Angelina was so frightened that she dodged away at once, but Ye Luo followed her like a shadow. Just as Angelina was about to get angry, Ye Luo whispered by her ear, "Want to know how they were completely wiped out? Come to my room tonight, and I'll tell you..."

After saying that, Ye Luo sat up straight, while Angelina's face flushed crimson. The fury of being teased, together with the strange sensation rising through her body from the breath by her ear, kept intertwining in her heart.

And when Ye Luo looked at her face covered in blush, he uselessly swallowed another mouthful of saliva, then also turned his gaze out the window... No good. She's way too damn tempting. If this keeps up, I'm going to make a mistake...

Because they had set out very early, before the sun had even risen to its zenith, Morton City appeared before everyone's eyes, and Angelina also became restless and uneasy.

But when they arrived two miles outside Morton, they were stopped, and the ones stopping them were actually Morton's defenders!

Angelina revealed her identity, and the carriages were welcomed into the castle. Robert immediately received Ye Luo and his group...

Father and daughter met, reunited after disaster, and wept with joy. After a long while, Angelina finally asked, "Father, what exactly happened? Hiller's army..."

Robert, however, turned his gaze to Ye Luo behind Angelina. Only after observing Ye Luo for a couple of glances did he say to Angelina, "Last night, a mysterious force attacked Hiller's camp. Hiller's army has already been completely wiped out. Today, our scouts entered their camp, and aside from corpses all over the ground, there wasn't a single living person..."

Angelina listened blankly to her father's words, then suddenly turned her head and asked Ye Luo in disbelief, "You... how did you do it..."

Ye Luo smiled and opened his mouth, but no sound came out. However, Angelina read two words from the shape of Ye Luo's mouth: "Tonight. Room..."

"Angelina, are these three your friends?" Robert asked softly.

Angelina took a deep breath. "Father, to be precise, they were the ones who resolved Hiller's rebellion and saved us..."

"Oh... is that so?" Robert's gaze as he looked at the three of them carried an indescribable meaning.

But his reaction startled Ye Luo inwardly. Three people resolving an army of four thousand should have been a fantasy, yet judging by Robert's reaction, although he was somewhat shocked, it was only somewhat... as if... all of this had been within his expectations...

Robert came before the three of them and suddenly bowed respectfully. A city lord, in a province, was equivalent to a local emperor, yet he used his own actions to express his gratitude to the three of them...

"Three honored guests, thank you for your assistance. Please enter the main city and rest first. Once I have dealt with the aftermath, I will come and thank you properly!"

Robert very politely had people escort Ye Luo and the other two to a luxurious inn inside Morton's main city, and even had all sorts of delicious food and drink served to them...

Just as Ye Luo was lying on a big bed even softer and more comfortable than a Simmons mattress while nibbling on pastries, Ye Wang sent over a strange image.

Around the enormous inn near the lord's castle in Morton's main city, rows of soldiers were swarming in, and in the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the inn. At that moment, Angelina stormed into the inn in a flurry...

Ye Luo's heart sank. He had just sat up when Angelina rushed in with an anxious look on her face.

"What's wrong, little beauty? We've only been apart half an hour. No need to miss me this much..." Ye Luo could not help teasing.

"My father has already surrounded the inn. He wants to capture you!" But Angelina's words froze Ye Luo's smile on his face.

"Why?" Ye Luo's voice turned a little cold.

Angelina looked at Ye Luo with an extremely complicated gaze. "Because my father's mage recorded every scene of last night's attack on Hiller's military camp with a Memory Crystal... He already knows your identities..."
