Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

She seemed to have heard of her aunt mentioning this matter in the past, but she didn't pay close attention to it at that time.

"Um."

Long Qian Xing saw that Nan Hua didn't mind his kiss and his eyes were filled with happiness. He took out a small box and handed it to Nan Hua. "My present for you."

"Thank you, Brother Long."

Long Qian Xing raised his hand and patted Nan Hua's head tenderly before he moved his hand away. He actually wanted to do more but this world's culture between men and women were really conservative, so he could only take his time. 

Anyway, he was not in a hurry.

Right now, Nan Hua is here with him and she will not run away.

He will accompany her for the rest of his life just like she will accompany him for the rest of his life.

There are still a long time ahead.

He will take his time to spend it together with Nan Hua.

Nan Hua watched Long Qian Xing and asked in a low voice, "Can I open it, Brother Long?"

"Yes, you can." Long Qian Xing nodded. 

Nan Hua slowly opened the small box and saw a small rabbit jade in the standing position. The rabbit was raising her small head and looked in her direction with her pair of coquettish eyes. It looked really cute and adorable.

Looking at the jade rabbit, Nan Hua thought that Long Qian Xing really think of her as a little rabbit.

She had the faint feeling that he would never change his impression of her in a short period of time.

"Do you like it, Hua'er?" Long Qian Xing asked, his voice was a bit low.

Nan Hua raised her head and saw Long Qian Xing's face that was really close with her. He was standing right in front of her, so when she raised her head, she would be able to see his face directly.

His expression still looked as confident as ever but there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

In front of the person he liked, Long Qian Xing was not as calm as he showed on the surface.

But he tried his best to look confident.

Nan Hua had a faint smile on her face, "I like it, Brother Long."

"It's good." Long Qian Xing nodded. He looked at Nan Hua's face carefully and was fascinated by the girl's smile.

She's very beautiful.

"General Xing!"

Hearing the call from the distance, Long Qian Xing suppressed whatever thoughts he was having in his head and turned around. Seeing the soldier who was waiting a distance away, he felt really annoyed.

Why did they have to come and disturb his good time with Nan Hua again and again?

He really wanted to spank these soldiers.

Nan Hua watched Long Qian Xing's frustrated back and felt amused. Her hand held the box containing the jade rabbit carefully, a hint of smile was faintly visible in her eyes.

It was really cute.

…

<Long distance away from that side, General Duan's side in Da Yi City>

The war between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom was far from over. The battle between Prime Minister Lei and Great General Wei was the biggest focus as it was the largest frontline. 

Many soldiers were deployed to the frontline and fought for their kingdom, causing massive bloodsheds on the battlefield.

Many people had died.

However, it was not the only frontline.

In the Da Yi City, General Duan was still defending this city with all he had.

He was the leader of Da Yi City and even if his prestige was not very high after his loss to Fei Yang Kingdom, the people and soldiers still listened to their order.

They had lost to Fei Yang Kingdom once.

Would they lost once more to Zhang Xu Kingdom?

Many of them couldn't accept it.

And with the continuous battles, there were many citizens of Da Yi City who stood forward to fight too. Even if they didn't have enough training, they still wanted to protect their city.

No one wanted to see their city be devastated because of the continuous war.

They hoped that their city could be strong.

Years of being put on the frontline and forced to face countless death had caused the people in this city to long for peace more than anything.

They hoped that they would be able to win in this battle and pushed the frontline far away from their city. 

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing continued to sound out.

Many people had died for the past few months, yet the flames of war were far from being extinguished.

Dong!

The gong signaling the end of the war sounded and the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom retreated. After a long period of war, they had come into a tacit agreement to follow the day and night routine.

It couldn't be helped.

No one could stand the long torture. 

Having to fight day and night again and again, their mental and physical strength was already being pushed to the limit. Without the rules of day and night battle, they would not be able to stand properly.

Not only Da Yi City's soldiers felt tired.

Zhang Xu Kingdom's soldiers were also tired.

Not to mention, Zhang Xu Kingdom soldiers had to face other soldiers on the valley below who had come to reinforce Da Yi City over the past few months. They wouldn't have the energy to pester Da Yi City day and night even if they wanted to. 

That was why Da Yi City was still intact until now.

"General Duan, please take some rest," the soldier who followed General Duan shouted worriedly.

"I'm fine." General Duan waved his hand.

His current situation was still relatively good, so General Duan didn't really want to rest. Right now, he was staring at the row of soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom and sighed.

It was truly a long and cruel war.
