Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Grandma Zhao, 1 don’t want to sleep alone. I want to sleep with Mother!”
At night, Su Ying had just come out of the bathroom after was.h.i.+ng up when she saw Ling wriggling her body and sliding down from Aunt Zhao’s arms. Her tiny hands were tightly clasped on the door, refusing to let go regardless of what happened.
The older toddler Ji took the opportunity to run into the room.
When she saw this, Aunt Zhao could only follow him into the room.
“What’s wrong, Aunt Zhao?”
When Aunt Zhao saw Su Ying walking into the room, she let go of Ji’s hand temporarily. “1 just wanted to let Mistress sleep better at night. Now that Young Master and Young Miss are more grown up, I am thinking of letting them sleep separately from Mistress.”
“I don’t want to. Ling hasn’t grown up yet. 1 don’t want to sleep separately from Mother!” The younger toddler Ling ran forward with her short legs and hugged Su Ying’s leg, refusing to let go.
“I… I have to protect my younger sister at night. 1 have to sleep with her.” Ji also stood beside Su Ying, unwilling to leave.
Aunt Zhao sighed helplessly when she saw this. She just wanted to let the Mistress and Master spend some personal time together. Why didn’t Young Master and Young Miss understand?
“Aunt Zhao, it’s cold now. It’s warmer when more people sleep together. Let them sleep with me first. It’s not too late to separate when the weather warms up.”
Aunt Zhao couldn’t do anything else when even Mistress herself said this. “Mistress is still injured. Young Master, Young Miss, you two have to be careful at night.”
The two little ones nodded obediently. “We know.”
Aunt Zhao left the room.
Su Ying carried them to the bed and sat them down. “It’s too cold outside at night. After you’ve washed up, you should hurry back into the house so you don’t catch a cold, understand?”
“Got it, Mother. I don’t want to sleep separately from Mother,” Ling replied.
Su Ying pinched their chubby little cheeks. “Alright, you can sleep with Mother. Lie down quickly.”
The two little fellows obediently lay down under the blanket.
Su Ying hugged them and tucked them in, humming a serene tune as she accompanied them to sleep.
When Xiao Jin returned from his patrol, the mother and children were already sound asleep.
Many parts of the defensive wall had been damaged yesterday. As a precautionary measure, they had to repair the wall as soon as possible. By the time they were more or less done, it was already midnight when they went back.
Xiao Jin stood in front of the brazier and warmed himself. He waited until the cold air on his body had completely dissipated before he came to the mother and children trio.
As he looked at their peaceful sleeping faces, the corners of Xiao Jin’s lips subconsciously curled into a smile.
When Su Ying opened her eyes again, the sky outside was already bright.
She moved her body and realized that the two little ones were lying on top of her. Their small bodies were completely curled up under the blanket without any worry of being suffocated.
Su Ying moved them to sleep on the pillows and covered them with blankets again. When she turned around, she saw Xiao Jin getting up from the bed. “What time did you come back last night?”
“After midnight.”
“You can still sleep a little longer,” Su Ying said in a rare moment of concern.
Xiao Jin listened to her genuine words of concern, and the fatigue all over his body was dispelled. “I’m not tired.”
“Let’s go over there and straighten out the place first.”
Su Ying nodded, and the two of them got dressed. After breakfast, Qiao Yang and the others arrived.
“Madam Su, my big brother said that he will stay in the Tiger Base and asked me to go with you guys.” Qiao Yang had brought a group of people over.
Su Ying nodded. Last night, she noticed that Tiger Might’s leg was injured as well. He had probably asked Qiao Yang to go instead because he was afraid that he would delay matters as he was unable to move freely.
Long Ba had also arrived in a horse carriage with his men. With his personality, he did not want to move at all, but he was too curious about where the Sky Alpha Cult members were staying, so he decided to follow them and take a look.
“Since everyone is here, let’s set off.”
“Yes, Mistress.”
Su Ying sat on the tiger’s back and let it lead the way.
In order to figure out the situation over there as soon as possible, they moved faster. After noon, they finally saw the towering city walls.
“I wonder how the city walls were built back then. They’re so high.” Qiao Yang looked at the towering city wails and his expression unwittingly turned solemn.
The tiger walked to the foot of the wall and roared twice. A crack appeared on the wall, and an entrance gradually appeared.
Su Ying went in first upfront, followed closely by Xiao Jin and the others.
After entering the forest, those wild beasts surrounded them one after another. When they seemed to detect an unfamiliar scent on the visitors’ bodies, the beasts’ bodies immediately crouched down in an aggressive stance.
Su Ying glanced at them and slapped the tiger on the head. “Make them behave.”
Roar! The tiger had nowhere to vent its frustration, so it turned its head and roared at the ferocious beasts itching to attack.
Those wild beasts bared their teeth. Even if they were a little resentful, they still retreated obediently.
As they pa.s.sed through the tunnel, Su Ying got down from the tiger’s back.
“The defensive installation here is very good,” Xiao Jin suddenly said as he was about to exit the tunnel.
Su Ying also agreed with him on this point. This place was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The people outside would not be able to take this place down easily. If it were not for her infiltrating and disintegrating it from the inside out, it would have been very difficult to breach the place by attacking from the outside.
Su Ying walked to the training ground and looked at the clean interior with some surprise. Last night, she had fought fiercely with birds, rats, and wild beasts, but in just one night, this place had been cleaned up as if nothing had happened. Even the damaged walls had been repaired.
Su Ying couldn’t help but admire these people’s ability to take action.
“This place is really big.”
When the black-robed man who was working saw Su Ying arrive, he respectfully walked forward and prostrated himself on the ground.
Qiao Yang and the others looked at one another. What was going on?
Soon, the other black-robed men and red-robed men heard the news and rushed over to kneel in front of Su Ying.
“What did you do to them?” Xiao Jin asked as he looked at her.
Su Ying also wanted to know what she had done.
At this moment, the Green Guardian, who was kneeling at the front, raised his head and said, “From now on, you are our Empress.”
Su Ying was absolutely dumbfounded.
These guys could just acknowledge anyone to be their empress?
“Madam, you have become the Empress!”
“What makes you guys think that I’m willing to be the empress?”
The Green Guardian said sincerely, “You defeated the previous Empress, so you are the new Empress.”
“Is this your Sky Alpha Cult’s rule?”
“Yes.”
“Do you have the history books of the Sky Alpha Cult?”
The Green Guardian raised his head and replied, “All the books of history are in the mausoleum.”
Su Ying couldn’t suppress her curiosity and asked Qiao Yang and the others to go to the palace first. She wanted to take a look at the mausoleum.
“I’ll go with you.” Xiao Jin walked to her side.
Su Ying nodded and told the Green Guardian to lead the way.
“You said that if I can defeat the previous empress, I can become the new empress. Then how was your previous empress defeated?”
The Green Guardian lowered his eyes and answered, “Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Green Slave does not know the exact details.”
The mausoleum was located behind the palace. Su Ying was a little curious. Since the previous empress was defeated, why did they still build a mausoleum for her?
They walked out of the corridor behind the palace and came to a hidden cave..
