The Story Of Dusk

Turned around, he found Luna who had just woken up. With sleepy eyes she looked at Xiao Tianyao as the man cold demeanor was thawed by her enchanting gaze.

He marched toward her and kissed her forehead, traces down to her nose and ended on her lips.

"I will bring you to Azura." Xiao Tianyao informed her between their kiss.

Luna backed away and looked at him with glistening eyes. "Will I … be accepted there?" She asked timidly as Xiao Tianyao brought her face to his chest.

"You will be fine." He said firmly. "We will return this afternoon."

"Alright." Luna replied obediently and wriggled away from Xiao Tianyao"s tight embraced. "I will clean up and be ready."

However, Xiao Tianyao had different thing on his mind.

"I will clean you up…" He said in hoa.r.s.e voice as he laid Luna down back to the soft fur mattress. His expression turned darkened when he saw Luna"s bright eyes. The feeling was unbearable. The l.u.s.t that overpowered him clouded his mind.

Every time he touched her, there was nothing that he wanted to do except eliminate any form of distance between them. It drove him crazy and he didn"t know why…

In the Greenhill Mountain.

Liu Wei was kneeling before Ye Xiu after he relayed his Master"s messages. Even him, he knew how bad the turn of the situation now. Seeing how fierce the battle between Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianyao was enough to conclude that.

Ye Xiu turned to Qi Xunyi beside him and said tiredly. "It didn"t seem good. Look like something had happened to Xiao Tianyao."

Qi Xunyi who was still on his bed had been listening intently to the messages. "Master, do you think…" He sounded hesitated to voice out what was inside his mind. "Prince Xiao Tianyao was under hypnosis?"

Ye Xiu had thought about this. This was the first possibility that came into his mind when he heard Xiao Tianyao"s odd behavior.

"There is possibility of that." He agreed with him.

Both of them fell into silence.

"Qi Xunyi, I will leave Greenhill"s people to you." Ye Xiu stood up, yet when he was about to leave he turned to face him again and added "Can you look for my brother Ye Bai as well?"

As one could see, sometimes Ye Bai was not in his right mind and threw tantrum when it happened, especially if something triggered his memory of Ye Qing and Su Zhang Li. In the other time, he would crazy enough to force everyone to call him "Uncle Su" as many children would call Su Zhang Li with "Aunt Su".

"Of course." Qi Xunyi said firmly. "I will take care of the matter here."

Since Qi Xunyi had felt better he could start to look into this matter intently. Moreover, there was a matter that he needed to solve it fast.

Apparently, The Emperor of Azura, Xiao Zi had been capturing the innocent people from Xinghe, they were gone missing after they caught them. Because of that, many people flew from the border line and trespa.s.sed to The Kingdom of Rockstone or to The Kingdom of Zodasian.

Not only that, the odd thing was; they only captured teenagers and children while killing the older people.

These things bother Qi Xunyi, after all he was the last imperial descendent and they all were his people.

"I will take my leave." Ye Xiu said as he walked away with Liu Wei followed behind him.

It took more than two weeks for Xiao Tianyao and his entourage to reach the Capital City, due to Luna"s weak body, so that she couldn"t withstand a long journey. They needed to stop multiple times in almost every city that they came across.

As soon as Xiao Tianyao"s entourage reached the main gate of Azura, the news traveled fast into Xiao Jun and Xiao Zi in the palace.

Once he heard Xiao Tianyao had come, he was so excited. It was time to play those brothers like a ragdolls in his palm. Immediately, he called a eunuch to summon Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun to enter the palace. He didn"t want to wait any longer to see how Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianyao fought between themselves.

After the eunuch bowed in submissive and left the room, Modama emerged from the door behind Xiao Zi"s Imperial Study room and chuckled eerily.

"So eager to call them…" Modama commented as devious smile etched on his lips

"It"s time for them to learn to not provoke me."

"Gong Xu told me that the Azura"s teenager and Children had been gathered in the appointed place." Modama said as he poured himself liquor. "But, I still need more than that…"

Xiao Zi whipped his head to his direction. "Those children and teenagers are cost a country and you still wanted more?" He shot him questioningly looked.

"Xinghe is small kingdom that not even match one third of Azura, moreover you failed to restrain them from running away from their fallen Kingdom, adding to there are someone out there who secretly saving the remaining of Xinghe"s people." Modama said in dissatisfied. "The current number that I have now, it is not enough!"

Xiao Zi balled his hand into a fist. He didn"t like it when someone criticized his action and pointed out the things that he failed to achieve.

"What will you do with them!?" He asked in monotonous tone, trying hard to mask his agitation.

Modama scoffed and faced him eye to eye when he answered. "I will build an army."
