Return of the Pearl

After taking a bath, Qianlong changed into simple and neat clothes. He walked to the bed with light steps and gently embraced Xiao Yun's delicate body.

He looked at Xiao Yun affectionately and asked softly, "Yun'er, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet? Are you silently waiting for me? Is the light shining in your beautiful eyes never extinguished because you miss me?"

Xiao Yun slowly and gently placed her hand on her abdomen. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and affection, and she said in a voice as gentle as the gurgling of a stream, "Hongli, do you like boys or girls?"

After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Qianlong was slightly stunned and fell into a brief silence. His gaze stayed on Xiao Yun, his eyes full of complex emotions, including expectation, longing, and a hint of imperceptible worry.

After a moment, he said affectionately, "Yun'er, I hope you give birth to a boy, because if it is a boy, when he grows up, I will teach him archery and horse riding, and we, father and son, can protect you together.

How I wish I could be with him and hold up a sky for you, protecting you from the wind and rain. But if she is a girl, she will eventually get married and cannot stay with you forever.

Thinking of this, I feel a little lost. Of course, whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as it's born by you, I like them all, but in my heart, I love you more."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and gently stroked Xiao Yun's face. The movement was so gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing her. His eyes were full of love, an emotion that went deep into his bones and moved everyone.

As soon as these words came out, a warm current suddenly surged in Xiao Yun's heart, and tears of emotion filled her eyes uncontrollably. The crystal tears sparkled with moving light under the candlelight. She was even so impulsive because of the strong emotions in her heart that she couldn't help but kiss Qianlong on the lips.

They had not had such an intimate action for a long time since they left Shandong. This kiss was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, instantly igniting the long-suppressed passion in each other's hearts. Their lips were pressed tightly together, their breaths intertwined, and their emotions surged like a tide, uncontrollable, as if they wanted to release all the longing and love for a long time in this kiss.

Deep in Qianlong's heart, he had an extremely deep and strong affection for Xiao Yun. That emotion was like a burning flame, hot and intense. Xiao Yun's proactive move was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which instantly caused thousands of ripples, causing Qianlong's emotional world to collapse instantly and his defense line to completely break down. He seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, completely losing the ability to resist, and completely surrendered, without any ability to fight back.

At this moment, Qianlong's hands seemed to be driven by some mysterious power, and he couldn't help but tear off Xiao Yun's clothes. His eyes were full of desire and passion, an irrepressible emotion. His fingers trembled slightly, as if he was touching an extremely precious treasure.

Just as Qianlong was about to explore further, unable to restrain his passion, Xiao Yun suddenly reached out and gently pushed him. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but it reached Qianlong's ears clearly: "Child..." These two words were like a basin of ice-cold water, suddenly pouring down from Qianlong's head, instantly knocking him down from the clouds of passion, extinguishing most of the fire in his heart, and instantly sobering him up a little.

A blush appeared on Xiao Yun's face, it was a look of shyness and embarrassment. She felt a little embarrassed. It was obviously she who took the initiative first, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Qianlong, her heart was full of embarrassment and panic. After hearing those two words, Qianlong felt mixed emotions, including the loss of being interrupted, as well as understanding and heartache for Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and said in a voice as gentle as an oriole's chirping, "Hongli, how about I help you..."

I had made this request to Yun'er before, but she was always very shy at that time and refused to agree. But now, this rare opportunity is in front of me.

So, the two of them actually discovered many new ways to play in this room. They were both immersed in the endless joy, intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. Their emotions continued to heat up, as if they wanted to melt the whole world in this passionate love.

Time passed quietly, until midnight, the lamp in the room was still burning stubbornly, without a trace of light going out.

At this time, the killers hiding outside had ulterior motives and planned to launch a secret surprise attack under the cover of night. However, they looked at each other, and when their eyes met, they realized that dawn was about to break. If they did not take action, they would miss this rare opportunity. In desperation, they had to harden their hearts and take action.

In an instant, they shot countless flaming arrows into the inn. The sound of the arrows breaking through the air was like the whisper of death. The people in the inn were awakened by the billowing smoke and were terrified. They rushed to flee.

And those guards also showed their extraordinary courage and strength at this critical moment. They tried their best to protect the people they needed to protect and never left them.

Qianlong finished washing up quickly. His movements were agile and decisive without any delay. Then, he hugged Xiao Yun tightly, and the hug was full of reluctance and attachment.

Xiao Yun snuggled in Qianlong's arms, with a hint of tension and worry on her face. Qianlong opened the door carefully. The moment he stepped out of the door, it seemed as if a black whirlwind swept in, and countless hidden arrows shot towards them like locusts. The arrowheads flashed with cold light under the reflection of the fire.

The guards reacted extremely quickly. They were like a group of nimble cheetahs, leaping into the air in an instant, waving their swords tightly and shooting down the hidden arrows one after another. Their movements were precise and powerful, and every move was full of strength and determination. Although the hidden arrows came like a rainstorm, the guards did not dare to leave Qianlong's side at all, and always guarded him tightly, as if he was the most important person in their lives.

Soon, Fuheng and Erkang also rushed to Qianlong's side, their faces full of anxiety and worry. They didn't hesitate at all and chased out together. However, not long after they chased out, the second group of killers appeared in front of them like ghosts. The figures of these killers were looming in the night, as if they were demons crawling out of hell.

Qianlong knew very well that these people were coming specifically for him. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.
