Long Yan patted Long Jiuer's head and said gently, "Okay, I know, little greedy cat." Then he took Lin Ziyu and Long Jiuer to the restaurant. Long Shen and Long Si followed behind them.

Along the way, Long Jiuer jumped happily, completely forgetting the rumbling sound of her stomach just now.

Arriving at the restaurant, Long Yan, Lin Ziyu and Long Jiuer found a seat by the window. Long Yan ordered some dishes that Lin Ziyu and Long Jiuer liked, and also ordered a cake for Long Jiuer.

The dishes were served quickly. When Long Jiuer saw the delicious food, his eyes lit up and he immediately started to eat voraciously. Long Yan looked at him and couldn't help but smile. He said softly, "Eat slowly, don't choke." While picking up some food for Lin Ziyu, he said, "This dish is delicious, Ziyu, try it."

Lin Ziyu nodded, picked up the food and put it in his mouth with a smile.

After the three of them finished their meal, chatting and laughing, Long Yan and Lin Ziyu escorted Long Jiuer back to the palace. Along the way, the three of them laughed and talked constantly, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

When they arrived at the Dragon Emperor Palace, Long Yan gently stroked Long Jiuer's hair and said to him softly, "Jiuer, go in quickly and have a good rest." Long Jiuer smiled and nodded, then turned and walked into the palace gate.

Before leaving, it walked to Lin Ziyu and whispered in his ear: "Brother Ziyu, when you return to Sifang Pavilion, there will be a surprise waiting for you!" After that, he blinked mischievously, and left with the maid.

Lin Ziyu was filled with anticipation after hearing this, but he didn't show it. He just smiled and waved goodbye to Long Jiuer. Then, the two of them boarded the carriage back to Sifang Pavilion.

Inside the carriage, Long Yan and Lin Ziyu were the only two people. Lin Ziyu completely relaxed, leaning against Long Yan's chest, gently closing his eyes to rest. His brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed a little tired.

Long Yan quietly gazed at Lin Ziyu in his arms, his eyes full of doting. He noticed the change in Lin Ziyu's expression and asked softly, "Is your waist still sore?" His voice revealed a hint of concern.

Lin Ziyu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with silent accusations against Long Yan, as if to say, "It's all because of you!" He secretly complained in his heart that he had clearly begged for mercy, but Long Yan still refused to give up.

The corners of Long Yan's mouth rose slightly, a hint of apology appeared on his face, and he said softly: "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself just now." At the same time, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lin Ziyu's waist, trying to relieve his discomfort.

Lin Ziyu grabbed Long Yan's hand in dissatisfaction and scolded him coquettishly: "Don't you know?" There was a hint of grievance and helplessness in his tone.

After hearing this, Long Yan immediately hugged Lin Ziyu tightly in his arms and whispered in his ear: "I will pay attention next time, okay?" His voice was gentle and low, full of apology and concern.

Lin Ziyu's face turned red instantly. He pushed Long Yan away and said shyly, "What are you doing? There are other people outside..." However, his resistance was ineffective. Long Yan still held him tightly and refused to let go.

Long Yan told Lin Ziyu in a firm tone: "No one is here, they all left." His eyes revealed a determination and desire.

Lin Ziyu showed a look of surprise and looked at Long Yan in confusion.

Long Yan gently caressed Lin Ziyu's cheek, his eyes full of tenderness and love. He slowly approached Lin Ziyu's lips, ready to kiss him.

At this moment, Lin Ziyu shouted in a deep voice: "Long Yan!" His voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction, protesting against Long Yan's behavior.

Long Yan smiled and said, "I won't tease you anymore. We've arrived at Sifang Pavilion." After that, he got off the carriage first and reached out to help Lin Ziyu get off.

Long Yan looked at the newly renovated Sifang Pavilion, smiled with satisfaction, and took Lin Ziyu back to the room to rest.

The faces of the orcs were filled with joy. They wore gorgeous clothes and walked happily in the streets. Everyone was smiling, congratulating each other, and sharing this special moment.

"Today is such a joyous day!" someone said excitedly, "We're celebrating the successful completion of our Crown Prince's coming-of-age ceremony. He's truly amazing!"

"No, no, I heard that today the Dragon Emperor is going to abdicate and pass the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! This means a new era is about to begin!" another person said excitedly.

"You're all wrong!" a young man interrupted. "I just heard that today is actually the wedding day of our Crown Prince! He's going to marry a beautiful bride. How enviable!"

These various rumors filled the entire city with anticipation and excitement. Whether celebrating a coming-of-age ceremony, coronation, or a grand wedding, it was a significant event for the Orcs. People flocked to the palace, hoping to witness this historic moment firsthand.

Sifang Pavilion

"Brother Ziyu, Brother Ziyu, are you awake? Are you awake?" Long Jiuer called out as she gently knocked on the door. There was a hint of urgency in her voice. There was something urgent to tell Lin Ziyu.

Lin Ziyu was awakened from his sleep by the rapid knocks on the door and the voice calling out. He frowned and slowly rubbed his temples, trying to ease the drowsiness. Then, he slowly opened his eyes and adjusted to the dim light in the room.

Finally, he slowly sat up, his movements slow and labored. He took a deep breath, feeling a sharp pain in his waist. He cursed inwardly, "Long Yan, just wait! When I regain my strength, I'll definitely settle the score with you!" He gritted his teeth as he recalled what Long Yan had done to him last night.

"Brother Zi Yu, are you awake?" Long Jiuer, who was outside the door, saw that there was no movement inside, and knocked on the door a few times anxiously, then raised her voice and shouted again.

Lin Ziyu heard the knocks and shouts, frowned, slowly walked to the door and opened it. He saw Long Jiuer standing outside the door and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Jiuer, why did you come to see me so early? What's the matter?"

"Brother Zi Yu, you're finally awake!" When Long Jiuer saw Lin Zi Yu open the door, he immediately showed a relieved expression and said, "Hurry up, we're running out of time." After that, he turned around and waved, indicating that the people waiting outside could come in.

Lin Ziyu was about to ask what happened, but was interrupted by Long Jiuer before he could say anything. Long Jiuer told those people to bring their things in while saying to Lin Ziyu, "Brother Ziyu, let them change your clothes and tidy you up first. I'll explain it to you later."

Lin Ziyu sighed helplessly and let them manipulate him, putting on gorgeous clothes and the exquisite crown.

"Brother Zi Yu, you are so charming! So handsome... I really wish I could hide you!" Long Jiuer couldn't help but admire.

Lin Ziyu rubbed his temples, looked at him and asked, "Jiuer, can you tell me what happened now?" He looked around and found that the entire Sifang Pavilion was adorned with golden decorations. He couldn't help but guess in his heart that today must be a particularly important day.

Long Jiuer pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Ziyu, my brother didn't even tell you what day it is today? Humph, he is too much! Brother Ziyu, you don't want to be with my brother anymore?"

Lin Ziyu smiled faintly, his peach blossom eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at the man slowly approaching from outside. He was a tall and straight man, dressed in a golden dragon-patterned brocade robe that made him look exceptionally handsome. His face was stern, yet it held an indescribable charm that made one want to approach him.

"Well, okay." Lin Ziyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and responded lightly.

Long Yan approached Long Jiuer and looked at Lin Ziyu with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

He called softly: "Long Jiuer..."

Hearing Long Yan's call, Long Jiuer turned around with a flattering smile on her face. "Brother, you're back." After saying that, she quickly ran away.

Lin Ziyu watched this scene with a doting smile on his face, but soon regained his composure. He looked at Long Yan and said with a smile, "Long Yan, explain."
