The dense swarm of Reconnaissance Beasts made Ye Xin’s scalp tingle, despite having personally witnessed how strong the Huaxia Empire really was. However, watching the situation around her, she still felt alarmed.
The numerous Reconnaissance Beasts, in the forms of various flying birds, dispersed in every direction. Different small animals burrowed into the woods or climbed up trees, disappearing from their sight, while tiny insects entered into all kinds of crevices, as if they had never been there.
Ye Xin could imagine that with such an abundance of Reconnaissance Beasts at his disposal, Lin Qian would have nearly completely deciphered this Small World.
Just thinking that behind Lin Qian was such a terrifying Empire, with countless scholars analyzing all sorts of data and then presenting it to their Emperor...
"Others enter this relic to benefit themselves, to temper their own abilities, but for Little Qian..." Ye Xin thought to herself and couldn’t help but look at Lin Qian, "his goal is to take this entire Small World into his hands!"
After watching the Reconnaissance Beasts scatter, Lin Qian believed that the Heavenly Art Department would continuously provide him with useful information through the Reconnaissance Beasts.
Originally, Lin Qian had planned to use the Swift Soldiers for reconnaissance, but that could inadvertently stir up unnecessary trouble.
After all, Lin Qian’s Realm was only at the Sky Breaking Realm, and he was aware that, no matter how much he defied the heavens, he had the power to fight against the truly top talents of South Meeting, but it would not be easy to win.
This feeling of not being absolutely superior to others slightly displeased Lin Qian, and he resolved to break through to the Body Realm of the Life and Death Realm at the fastest speed while within this Small World.
"Zhao Long, there’s no need for you to return to the Huaxia Empire just yet. Stay by my side for the time being; I will need your strength." With this thought, Lin Qian instructed Zhao Long by his side.
Zhao Long quickly bowed his head and respectfully responded to Lin Qian, "As the Emperor commands, Zhao Long will do his utmost."
"Go and join up with the others. There’s strength in numbers." Saying this, Lin Qian extended his right palm towards Ye Xin.
Ye Xin gently nodded, placing her delicate hand in his warm palm, which Lin Qian gripped tightly.
The next moment, a splendid, golden carriage appeared suspended in mid-air in front of them, drawn by nine fire-hoofed war horses. Your next read awaits at FreeNovelHub
Lin Qian, holding Ye Xin’s hand, leapt up gracefully and landed securely on the carriage, while Zhao Long sat in front controlling the nine fire-hoofed war horses.
The war horses neighed, and their fiery hooves, burning with flames, stamped through the air leaving a fiery trail, pulling the luxurious carriage swiftly forward.
Meanwhile, an invisible barrier emerged above the carriage, shielding them from the gale facing them, allowing Lin Qian and Ye Xin to comfortably enjoy the scenery of the Small World at leisure.
Such a mode of transportation was originally even more imposing, drawn by nine dragons, but their strength was too great for Lin Qian to summon them from the Huaxia Empire. Apart from the nine dragons, other War Beasts were also unable to pull that carriage.
Therefore, Lin Qian settled for the next best thing, riding in this carriage and having it drawn by the nine fire-hoofed war horses.
Even so, it was still incredibly majestic.
As the carriage passed by, some of the talents who had already arrived in the Small World looked up at the streak of fire sweeping across the sky.
Some frowned, feeling that Lin Qian was too ostentatious, while others were indifferent because their own carriages were no less imposing in momentum.
Under Zhao Long’s control, the carriage was exceptionally stable, making Ye Xin involuntarily lean against Lin Qian and drift sweetly into sleep.
The four maidservants Ye Xin had previously faced had an extremely refined combined attack technique that was particularly draining on the mind to counter. Being able to sleep well was the best way to nurture her spirit and recover.
Soon after, the procession had already arrived at the rendezvous point Lin Qian had agreed upon, but aside from them, no one else had yet arrived.
Lin Qian could see from the tactical map that the others were still some distance away and were approaching at a very steady pace. It was clear they hadn’t encountered any troubles like Ye Xin had, and they should be able to arrive before long.
The procession landed both lightly and steadily on the ground, and the nine flame-hoofed war horses shook their heads leisurely without making a sound.
Lin Qian did not awaken Ye Xin, wanting her to sleep a bit longer and rest peacefully while maintaining their current posture, hoping it would allow her some added comfort.
Zhao Long rose and stepped away from the front of the procession, standing off to the side with a vigilant gaze patrolling the surroundings, guarding against any possible accidents or sudden attacks.
Should anyone dare offend His Majesty and disturb Her Majesty the Empress’s rest, Zhao Long would not hesitate to raise his spear and confront them, making them regret their actions.
Time flowed gently by as Lin Qian gazed at the sunset on the horizon, with the steady sound of Ye Xin’s breathing by his ear.
His heart was extremely calm at this moment. He took a quiet look at his fiancée beside him and couldn’t help but smile blissfully.
Lin Qian remembered the first half of his past life. He was an orphan, alone and friendless, with no girls who would like him.
He had parents, but not long after an accident happened. Though he inherited a vast fortune, he still felt an empty void, still lonely. His only outlet was to vent his emotions into video games, even if the characters in them were just unfeeling cold data; they provided him with a sense of security.
This was also why, in his past life, he always wished the units of the Huaxia Empire could truly come to life, to talk to him rather than repeat cold, scripted lines programmed into them.
Lin Qian was no longer alone!
In this life, he had loving parents, a loving partner, a master who cared for him, and he had made his own friends.
What was more important, he now had the Huaxia Empire, an empire not made up of data but truly sustained by the vitality of life!
"Little Qian, you look so happy," Ye Xin, who had woken up at some point without Lin Qian realizing, looked over smilingly and spoke softly.
Lin Qian nodded, his face still brimming with a smile, but his eyes were welled up with tears, "Yes, very happy!"
Ye Xin tightly clasped Lin Qian’s hand and didn’t say much more.
Even though he was crying, Ye Xin could feel that Lin Qian wasn’t the slightest bit sad. When he looked at her, it felt as if she was entrusted with something.
She enjoyed the feeling of Lin Qian relying on her, remembering how, when they were children and he was bullied, it was always she who stood in front of him.
Unconsciously, Lin Qian and Ye Xin’s energies intertwined, their aura surging wildly.
The entire procession vibrated due to the aura of the two, and Zhao Long, who was on the alert, suddenly turned around to see Lin Qian and Ye Xin sitting facing each other with crossed legs, their hands joined together resting on their laps.
After a moment of astonishment, Zhao Long realized what was happening. The white Tailong Spear immediately appeared in his hand, gripping it tightly, as the soul power within him surged ceaselessly, ready for any situation that might arise.
