Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

The Third Prince quickly responded, "Master Lin, you are so polite. We have only just arrived. Without further ado, let us set off!"

Lin Yaochen smiled and nodded in agreement. "That's great."

Lin Ziyu stepped down from the carriage with some reluctance, tears glistening in his eyes. "Fifth Grandpa, goodbye..."

Lin Cheng, who was standing beside him, coughed lightly. Lin Ziyu raised his head and asked with concern, "Father, are you sick?"

Lin Cheng snorted coldly and replied unhappily, "No." He muttered to himself: This brat only said goodbye to his grandfather, but didn't know how to say goodbye to his father. What a heartless guy.

Lin Yaochen looked at the father and son in front of him with a relieved smile on his face. He was still a little worried and reminded Lin Ziyu again, "Ziyu, you must take good care of yourself." Lin Ziyu looked at Lin Yaochen with gratitude in his eyes. He nodded vigorously and replied, "Well, Fifth Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of myself, you don't have to worry." After that, he smiled at Lin Yaochen again, telling him not to worry.

Long Yan walked over to Lin Ziyu, patted him on the shoulder, then turned to Lin Yaochen and said, "Fifth Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of Ziyu." Lin Yaochen turned his eyes to Long Yan, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Long Yan nodded firmly. Lin Yaochen also nodded, expressing his trust in Long Yan.

Lin Cheng stood aside and said to Long Yan seriously: "Prince Long, if Zi Yu is unhappy here, I will come and take him away." Although this sentence was a bit of a joke, the seriousness in it could not be ignored.

Long Yan smiled slightly and responded, "I know, General Lin, I won't let this happen." His eyes revealed determination and confidence, as if he was ready for everything.

At this time, Qin Jinghuai looked at Long Yan and said with a cupped hand: "Your Highness, Crown Prince Long, we will meet again. It's time for us to set off."

Long Yan nodded slightly and responded, "Third Prince, take care on your journey."

Lin Ziyu looked at the departing team with a look of reluctance and said to Lin Cheng, "Father, you must take good care of Fifth Grandpa on the way!"

Lin Yaochen and Lin Cheng waved to Lin Ziyu and comforted him, "Don't worry, we are leaving now. You should also be careful." After that, they turned around and embarked on their journey.

When Lang Xiaoyi, Hu Haoyue, and the others saw Long Yan, they all stepped forward. They saluted Long Yan respectfully and greeted him in unison, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Long Yan nodded slightly, "Yeah."

Long Yan hugged Lin Ziyu and said softly, "Don't worry, we will go back together after a while."

"Yeah, okay." Lin Ziyu replied in a somewhat depressed mood. After Fifth Grandpa and his father left, the only familiar person left was Long Yan.

Long Yan pulled Lin Ziyu onto the carriage. Lang Xiaoyi and others rode on wild horses and followed Long Yan's carriage. The group slowly moved towards the imperial city.

In the carriage, Long Yan asked Lin Ziyu softly, "Ziyu, are you going back to the Prince's Mansion with me, or are you going to continue living in Sifang Pavilion?"

Lin Ziyu was silent for a moment, then replied, "Brother Yan, I think it's better to live in Sifang Pavilion. Living in the Prince's Mansion is a bit uncomfortable. Besides, under what pretext would I move in?"

Long Yan frowned and said, "Why? Isn't the Crown Prince's Mansion good? Of course I live there in the name of my wife. Everyone knows that you are my Crown Princess."

Lin Ziyu looked at Long Yan and said calmly, "Brother Yan, we're not married yet. Living here now makes me feel a little constrained and uneasy." He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I don't want to move in without proper permission."

Long Yan nodded slightly, showing his understanding. He said, "Okay then. I'll stay with you at Sifang Pavilion." His tone was a little aggrieved.

Lin Ziyu smiled and said, "Haven't you been living in Sifang Pavilion all this time?"

"Zi Yu, you're smiling. Don't worry, I will always be with you." Long Yan said with a smile while hugging Lin Zi Yu.

Lin Ziyu stared at Long Yan, his thoughts drifting back to the first time he met him. Back then, Long Yan was like a mystery, making people want to uncover his mysterious veil, but also making people feel awe. But now, Long Yan has become his closest person. Thinking of this, Lin Ziyu couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and a smile appeared on his face. He gently leaned against Long Yan and whispered, "Brother Yan, I'm tired and want to rest for a while..."

Long Yan responded gently, "Okay." Then he hugged Lin Ziyu into his arms, letting him lean more comfortably on his chest.

The carriage suddenly became unusually quiet, with only the sounds of their breathing intertwined. Lin Ziyu closed his eyes, enjoying this moment of tranquility and feeling the warmth of Long Yan's embrace. Long Yan stared at Lin Ziyu quietly, his eyes filled with doting and love.

After a while, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Sifang Pavilion. Long Si softly reminded him, "Your Highness, we're here."

Long Yan glanced at the sleeping Lin Ziyu in his arms, his lips curled up slightly, and he replied softly, "Yes, be quiet, don't wake him." Then, he carefully picked up Lin Ziyu, his movements so gentle that he seemed afraid to wake the lover in his arms. Then, he steadily stepped out of the carriage and walked into the Sifang Pavilion.

Long Yan carried Lin Ziyu into the room, gently placed him on the bed, and carefully covered him with a quilt. Standing by the bed, Long Yan quietly gazed at Lin Ziyu's sleeping face, his heart filled with peace.

He gently stroked Lin Ziyu's cheek and said to himself: "Ziyu, thank you for staying with me..." After that, Long Yan left a gentle kiss on Lin Ziyu's forehead, turned and left the room.

Outside the door, Lang Xiaoyi, Hu Haoyue and others were anxiously waiting for Long Yan to come out. Finally, the door slowly opened and Long Yan walked out with a calm expression.

Long Yan looked at everyone and said, "Let's go to the front and talk..." Then he took the lead and walked forward.

The group followed Long Yan silently to a large tree and sat around the chairs. Long Yan looked at everyone and said, "Ask anything you want to ask."

Lang Xiaoyi was the first to ask, "Your Highness, what happened? The Sea Clan and the Human Clan have both withdrawn from the competition."

Long Yan took a deep breath and slowly replied, "It's because foreign invaders have appeared in all three of our tribes. They have joined forces with some ambitious people and started killing some of our tribesmen. There have been many incidents of orc villages being massacred. When Chief Yi led his men to investigate, he was poisoned by the foreign invaders and lost all his spiritual energy."

Upon hearing this news, Lang Xiaoyi, Hu Haoyue, and the others' faces changed drastically, revealing expressions of shock. They stared at Long Yan with wide eyes in disbelief.

"How is this possible!" Lang Xiaoyi said gritting his teeth, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes.

Hu Haoyue clenched his fists and said angrily: "These damn invaders actually dared to attack us!"

Others also expressed indignation and concern, and the atmosphere became tense.

"Your Highness, have you found the foreign invaders? What are their characteristics?" Lang Xiaoyi asked with a gloomy face. His anger had been suppressed, but his tone was still cold and serious.

Long Yan replied calmly, "We haven't found any trace of them yet. However, based on the clues we have so far, these foreign invaders carry a strange poison that can cause our spiritual energy to rapidly drain. Once the spiritual energy is completely lost, it can never be restored. Even worse, if you try to take spiritual energy recovery pills, the result is only one - explosion and death! They have appeared in both the human and sea tribes."

Long Yan's voice revealed a sense of helplessness and worry. This sudden threat made him feel unprecedented pressure. The once peaceful world suddenly became full of dangers, and the enemy was hiding in the shadows, making it difficult to predict.

Hu Haoyue asked solemnly, "Your Highness, have you found a solution to the loss of spiritual energy?"

The others also looked at Long Yan solemnly, waiting for his answer.

Long Yan nodded slightly and said, "The method has been found, but there is only one alchemist who can refine the pill." A trace of fatigue and weakness flashed in his eyes.

"Now it's not just a problem of the alchemist, but also a problem of the medicinal materials needed." There was a hint of distress in Long Yan's words.
