Chapter 35: No Worries! I Like Her Just the Way She Is:
On the steps, Ling Ye smiled faintly before sitting on the dragon throne and slowly saying, "General... Do you know about the Demon Clan?"
"Demon Clan?" Hua Jintian's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "I've heard a bit."
"The Demon Clan is spread across the land! The seven Demon Lords are all at the Divine Realm!" Ling Ye continued calmly, "Outside the Great Imperial Empire, various empires and forces have all suffered the Demon Clan's infiltration."
"Since the Great Imperial Empire is powerful, demons don't dare invade us. But... this is only temporary. These demons are growing stronger, and sooner or later, they will target the Great Imperial Empire. This is inevitable."
In the original novel, once these demons gathered enough strength, they launched an attack on the Great Imperial Empire. The previously peaceful Empire was invaded by demons.
The demons had long set their sights on the Great Imperial Empire, but they hadn't taken any action until now. So, it was time to nip this future threat in the bud.
"Your Majesty summoned us to deal with the Demon Clan?" Hua Jintian and Hua Luoshuang understood.
These demons indeed ran rampant beyond the borders. The old chief had analyzed before that demons would likely target the Great Imperial Empire sooner or later.
Now that even His Majesty said so, they couldn't ignore the Demon Clan anymore. It was best to prevent future troubles by resolving this issue now.
"Not long from now, Ling Youyun, the leader of the seven Demon Lords, will appear at the Purple Moon Immortal Sect." Ling Ye said calmly. "So, I've summoned all of you to take care of Ling Youyun!"
"Understood!" Hua Jintian nodded. "Our Great Imperial Empire has nine Divine Emperor Realm and dozens of Divine Sky Realm experts! Dealing with the current Demon Clan shouldn't be difficult."
If they waited until the demons grew stronger, the battle would be much bloodier. Acting now posed fewer problems.
Ling Ye said calmly, "This matter must be handled discreetly. Otherwise, Ling Youyun will be on guard. So, I've only summoned the top experts of the empire."
If they mobilized the army, with so many people stationed at the Purple Moon Immortal Sect, Ling Youyun would surely avoid appearing. Thus, apart from the Divine Emperor Realm, no one else was to be mobilized.
Hua Jintian nodded. No wonder his sister was summoned back from the border.
"At that time, you will be stationed outside the Purple Moon Immortal Sect," Ling Ye said with a faint smile. "Make sure Ling Youyun does not return!"
As Ling Ye spoke, he stretched lazily.
"Yes!" Hua Jintian and Hua Luoshuang both nodded.
Then, Hua Jintian suddenly signaled Hua Luoshuang with his eyes.
His Majesty displayed such a relaxed demeanor, and there were only the three of them in the hall, not even a maid present.
Couldn't she take a hint?
She should go and give His Majesty a shoulder massage, or something to get closer.
His Majesty was hinting, and she was just standing there.
"Brother, what's wrong with your eyes?" Hua Luoshuang asked curiously.
"I..." Hua Jintian almost spat out blood in frustration.
How could she be so clueless?
In matters of romance, she was completely dense!
"Uh... um..." Hua Jintian coughed dryly, hoping his silly sister would catch on.
"What's the matter?" Hua Luoshuang clearly didn't understand anything.
Hua Jintian was speechless.
This girl had completely lost her wits from wielding weapons all day. She just didn't get it!
Then, Hua Jintian had to make it clear, "... She's a military woman! I hope Your Majesty won't mind!"
At these words, Hua Luoshuang was stunned.
What? Did she do something wrong? She was innocent!
"No worries! I like her just the way she is!" Ling Ye laughed.
If Hua Luoshuang were too cunning and scheming, she wouldn't be Hua Luoshuang anymore.
"I..." Hua Luoshuang looked innocent.
'What did I do? What are you two talking about?'
However, His Majesty said he liked her the way she was. Even though she didn't understand, hearing that made her happy.
"His Majesty is busy day and night, and there's no maid by his side. Shouldn't you help him relax?" Hua Jintian had no choice but to spell it out. His sister only understood when things were made explicit.
With this, Hua Luoshuang finally understood.
’Oh, that was what he meant?’
"Your servant... Your servant didn't understand Your Majesty's intentions! I beg Your Majesty's pardon!" Hua Luoshuang bowed slightly.
Ling Ye just smiled. This girl was naturally like this; he didn't mind at all. He simply looked at her.
Hua Jintian coughed again.
'Go on! Why are you still standing there, silly girl?'
"Oh..." Hua Luoshuang finally reacted and walked up the steps to stand before Ling Ye. "Your Majesty has worked hard! Your servant... will give Your Majesty a shoulder massage!"
Hearing her awkward words, Ling Ye smiled gently and nodded.
With his permission, Hua Luoshuang approached the dragon throne. She raised her delicate, smooth hand, which usually held a spear, and gently placed it on Ling Ye's shoulder.
Seeing this, Hua Jintian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
'Silly girl, learn more in the future! You can't just focus on fighting and training all the time!'
"Is that hairpin from Jiang Lin?" Ling Ye asked, noticing the hairpin in Hua Luoshuang's hair. He recognized it as one of Jiang Lin's favorites.
