QWTBWASIFOC Chapter 86

Chapter 86: The Steadfast Loyal Dog x Dual-Souled Genius 22

With the downfall of the Empress and the Second Prince’s ascension to the throne, the Hua An Empire underwent a massive reshuffle, keeping Zhou Xiuran too busy to attend to other matters.

The former Second Prince’s faction was also bustling with activity.

They had to eliminate political enemies, stabilize the internal chaos within the empire, and guard against the insidious ambitions of the Plus Empire, which coveted the Hua An Empire.

As for Changli, who had been promoted to Crown Prince of the Empire, his old father, Zhou Xiuran, had also assigned him work.

Zhou Xiuran handed over the empire’s military power to Changli.

Changli: You really trust me! But I am very interested in this job.

In his previous life, every time he planned a personal expedition, military generals would snatch the opportunity away from him, and there was also a male general-turned-empress constantly watching him.

Now, he had finally gotten the chance!

He would leave the domestic rebels to Zhou Xiuran, and he would take care of the foreign enemies.

Changli excitedly slipped out of the Imperial Capital Star with his teammates to deal with the recently restless Plus Empire on the border of the Hua An Empire.

The Tatius Competition was therefore forced to stop, and the other three teams returned to military academies.

Qin Su, Wei Minghe, Yu Jinzhou, and Xie Yizhi, who were following Changli to the battlefield, instantly withdrew from the Tatius Competition and stood ready for battle.

Wherever the Crown Prince was, they were.

This group of people, once on the battlefield, were like tigers entering the forest, completely unleashing their abilities.

Especially Qin Su, who was practically going crazy with killing, leaving Changli with few opportunities to act.

Today was another day of triumphant return for the border troops.

However, Changli, who had not gotten a chance to fight from beginning to end, felt no joy whatsoever, and glared at Qin Su, who had fought like a madman.

“Vice General Qin was truly impressive today!”

“Those were just small fries; did you have to risk your life to fight them?”

“Am I so useless in your eyes that I can’t even handle them!”

Seeing that Changli was truly angry, Wei Minghe instantly grabbed his bewildered childhood friend, Xie Yizhi, and walked out, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire.

Xie Yizhi stumbled as he was pulled, “???”

Once they were out, he grabbed his crafty friend and asked his question, “Wei Minghe, why did you drag me out of the room?”

“Qin Su is always rushing ahead, causing His Highness to not have fought in ages. It’s only right that His Highness is angry. How could Qin Su be like this…”

Before he could finish, Wei Minghe smacked him on the head, instantly making him cover his head and unable to speak, glaring at Wei Minghe with bewildered eyes.

Wei Minghe gritted his teeth and cursed, “You idiot!”

“Didn’t you realize that His Highness is angry that Qin Su is risking his life on the battlefield?”

“?” Xie Yizhi was even more confused.

Seeing that the other party still didn’t understand, Wei Minghe could only make it clearer, “Qin Su likes His Highness the Crown Prince, that’s why he’s fighting so hard, unwilling to let His Highness act, to prevent His Highness from being injured like he was during the encirclement last time.”

“His Highness also likes Qin Su, that’s why he’s worried that Qin Su’s recklessness will hurt himself.”

Xie Yizhi’s eyes widened, “!!!”

“His Highness and Qin Su are mutually in love?! But why have they been hiding it from us?”

“Besides, His Highness was only scratched on the back of his hand last time, not even needing to lie in a treatment pod, and it healed directly that day.”

That little scratch, could that even be called an injury?

He realized he was starting to not understand the specific range of definition for the word “injury.”

Wei Minghe rolled his eyes at Xie Yizhi, “Your eyes are truly wasted on you! They have feelings for each other, but they haven’t broken through that final barrier yet, but I don’t think that time is far off.”

He dragged Xie Yizhi away, explaining with disdain, “You don’t understand that there are no small matters between lovers. Even if the injury His Highness sustained was minor, to Qin Su, it’s more serious than the sky falling.”

“Anyway, don’t meddle in their affairs, just honestly fight and accumulate experience.”

He glanced at Xie Yizhi, whose soul had drifted away, and reminded him with a cold face, “Your parents said that I’m responsible for you while you’re on the battlefield. Don’t cause trouble by spouting nonsense, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Xie Yizhi shivered when he heard this, “When have I ever caused trouble by spouting nonsense? Don’t wrong me! Look how well-behaved I’ve been recently~”

Wei Minghe snorted coldly, “Stop acting cute, hurry and lie in the treatment pod to heal your injuries!”

Xie Yizhi nodded weakly.

Even though he was the mecha combat specialist, he had been suppressed by Wei Minghe since he was a child.

Perhaps this was the terrifying aspect of being a commander!

On the other side, Yu Jinzhou, seeing Wei Minghe pulling Xie Yizhi away, also swiftly slipped out of the room.

His cousin and future cousin-in-law were arguing; he didn’t want to be stuck in the middle, taking the heat.

Soon, only Changli and Qin Su were left in the room. Qin Su, seeing that Changli was angry, reached out to take Changli’s hand, but was coldly brushed off.

Qin Su shamelessly hugged Changli, pressing himself against the Crown Prince, who was showing a cold face.

“I know Your Highness is very powerful, but I’m afraid that Your Highness will be like he was fourteen years ago, on the verge of death, and I’m afraid of seeing Your Highness covered in blood…”

“That’s why I want Your Highness to sit securely in the rear.”

Changli’s hands, which were hanging by his sides, slowly lifted and embraced the vulnerable and pitiful loved one before him.

“I want to win, but not by having you throw your life away.”

“Besides, I’m no longer the naive child I once was, and I won’t fight a battle I’m not confident in.”

He raised his eyes to meet Qin Su’s black starry eyes, which were filled with worry and sorrow, and his crimson lips parted, “I’m also afraid that I won’t be able to save you and can only watch helplessly as you grow cold in my arms.”

Qin Su’s arms around Changli tightened instantly, and he stared unblinkingly at his prince.

“That day will never come.”

“I will protect His Highness the Crown Prince forever!”

The corners of Changli’s lips curved slightly, but his pair of always gentle and indifferent purple eyes flowed with treacherous and ever-changing emotions, as if they had been tainted by black gas.

“Protect me forever? Is that so?”

“I’ve always been unlucky, perhaps the only luck in my life is meeting you.”

Changli lost his parents before he even hatched, and along the way, he encountered prophecies, transforming from the Phoenix Clan’s favored son of heaven, the future Phoenix Emperor, into a prisoner, a pariah, experiencing numerous deaths before meeting the Golden Lion Demon Lord.

But he lost his love at the moment he fell in love with the Golden Lion Demon Lord, unable to even gather the Golden Lion Demon Lord’s soul.

He couldn’t revive the Golden Lion Demon Lord; he couldn’t do anything.

Before that, Changli had never done anything wrong to the creatures of the Canglan World, and he hadn’t even blamed all the people who hated him. Yet, it was he who became the great enemy of the world and was forced to death seven times.

In the end, he became a true god of slaughter.

Fortunately, the Golden Lion Demon Lord still had a glimmer of hope. He chased the Golden Lion Demon Lord from Xie Chi’s life to Qin Su’s life, finally managing to stabilize the Golden Lion Demon Lord’s soul somewhat. How could he bear to see Qin Su fighting so recklessly again.

Trading lives for lives, killing eight thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own!

The smile on Changli’s face gradually transformed into an unpredictable coldness. He cupped Qin Su’s face with his hands and looked at Qin Su with stubborn eyes.

“You must live well and stay by my side, or I’ll find you even if I have to search to the ends of the earth, and I’ll give you a good beating!”

Qin Su’s eyes lit up when he heard this, “I will cherish this life and accompany Your Highness to the end of my life. Your Highness will never be able to get rid of me.”

“To the ends of the earth, we will never abandon each other.”

Changli was silent for a moment, then asked, “Are you willing to be with me through life and death?”

Qin Su nodded heavily, “Of course.”

He boldly spoke his inner thoughts, “I like Your Highness and am willing to be with Your Highness through life and death. I beg Your Highness to give me a chance to walk hand in hand with you.”

Changli released Qin Su’s face and grasped the hand that Qin Su had extended towards him.

“I grant it.”
