Monarch of Evernight: A cold and lonely night in 1911
bsp;The situation has been developing as many people expected. Under Yong Ye's strength, the empire, which had succeeded earlier, could not bear it and allowed Yong Ye to control the maelstrom channel. The arrival of the Eternal Burning Flame shocked all the strong men in the neutral land. When the Blood Throne did not come forward, the usually arrogant and arrogant strong men suddenly discovered that without the existence of the Blood Throne, they would not even appear now. There was no courage in front of the Maharaja.
The Heavenly King Zhang Buzhou is still practicing in seclusion, trying to reach the realm of the Heavenly King. But now, his seclusion seems to have become a joke.
Fortunately, the Eternal Flame only stayed for a short time and left earlier than expected. He set off to leave before the three-day appointment with the Throne of Blood came.
As soon as the eternal burning flame left, the demons also left with him. The huge fleet flew over the entire neutral land, and anyone who was interested could know his whereabouts.
This great king who also had great prestige in the Eternal Night Council was finally gone. Countless powerful men felt that a big stone pressing on their chests was finally removed, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Half of the vampire and spider demon troops have also left, but there are still many people staying in Tingchao City. On the one hand, the candidates from these tribes have not yet had time to enter the maelstrom, and the passage is still barely available. On the other hand, they hope to hold off the empire's counterattack until the Maelstrom Channel becomes available next time. Everyone knows that this is not easy, but some people always have illusions.
The major forces in the neutral land are waiting and watching, wanting to see who will win in the next collision between the Empire and Yong Ye. At present, the difference in military strength between the two sides is not very big, and Yongye's side still has a slight advantage. But most people are optimistic about the empire. Everyone wants to see what kind of miracle the future military **** of the empire will create this time.
Many people are still confused and don't understand why the vampires and spider demons hurriedly withdrew half of the fleet. It will only take ten days and a half for the maelstrom channel to become stable again. Could it be that we can't even wait for this time? However, they did not know that at this time, the war situation in the Void Floating Continent suddenly changed. Under the continuous attacks of the empire, Yong Ye was on the verge of total collapse.
Everyone was right about one thing, that is, Song Zining's counterattack would come soon. But they all guessed wrongly how Qi Shao would fight back.
As soon as the Eternal Flame left, the strong men in the entire East China Sea and even most of the neutral land felt inexplicably throbbing, and then faintly heard a shrill and extremely angry roar.
The throbbing is very familiar. Strong men who have stayed in a neutral place for a long time have felt this throbbing more than once. It was the roar of the broken fleeting time, and it was the roar of the One who personally took charge and exerted all his strength.
And roaring is very strange. However, this roar spread almost throughout the entire neutral land, and echoed at the soul level of all the powerful men. The terror of the person who made this roar was completely beyond everyone's imagination.
For a while, speculations abounded and all kinds of rumors were flying around. At this moment, the vampire fleet staying in Tingchao City suddenly mobilized again, and another group of main battleships left the East China Sea and flew into the void. So many people speculated that there was another battle between the Blood Throne and the Sunless King.
No matter how people guess, they will never know the truth and can only stay at guessing.
While idlers were working hard to spread rumors, countless imperial warships appeared from the sky and swarmed towards Tingchao City like swarms of bees.
War is raging in the neutral land, and in the maelstrom, Qianye is facing another severe test, how to spend this night.
Even if he is willing to use the most primitive method, it will be difficult to bring Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan back to life unless they drink a large amount of white fruit wine brewed by the Four-Armed Man. In that case, the situation will be even worse than before. Although Qianye still doesn't know Ji Tianqing's identity, one thing is certain, her true identity will never be lower than Li Kuanglan's. And her elusive character is obviously more difficult to deal with than Li Kuanglan.
But it is difficult to let Qianye watch them die in the cold night, especially when there are still means.
Looking at the darkening night, Qianye’s mood became increasingly heavy.
Li Kuanglan was sitting quietly doing his exercises, but now he opened his eyes and said to Ji Tianqing: "Tianqing, why are you pretending to be yourself now?"
Ji Tianqing also opened her eyes and said, "What disguise?"
She was obviously pretending to be confused, but Li Kuanglan didn't give her the chance to continue pretending to be confused, "There are no outsiders now, so it's okay to show your true self."
Ji Tianqing's whole body trembled slightly and she remained silent. But her breath was fluctuating, and she was obviously struggling fiercely inside.
Qianye doesn't understand. It's such a trivial thing to show his true face, but why is Ji Tianqing so insistent? Could it be that she is actually ugly? But whether it's ugly or beautiful, it's all the same to Qianye. It's just that Qianye doesn't know how to coax girls anymore, and he also knows that he can't say such words.
Li Kuanglan sighed softly and said, "It's almost midnight."
Li Kuanglan reached out to Qianye and said, "Give me a jar of wine."
Qianye felt a chill in his heart and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Li Kuanglan was very calm, "You alone can't help us two. If we can't survive midnight, you will try your best to revive us even if you know it's not possible, right? So don't drink more, We will all die here. The disadvantage of drinking too much is nothing more than that. I don’t want to die, and I don’t want you to die. Even if what happens, I will forget it all when I leave here.”
After Qianye heard this, his heart suddenly became complicated, and he didn’t know what it was like.
Seeing that Qianye didn't respond, Li Kuanglan reached out to Ji Tianqing and said, "Bring me some wine."
Ji Tianqing was shocked, "Why should I give it to you?"
"Then do you want to drink?" Li Kuanglan asked.
"I..."
Looking at Ji Tianqing's reaction, Li Kuanglan suddenly came over and whispered in her ear: "This is how I came here in the past two nights..."
Despite the disguise, Ji Tianqing still blushed upon hearing this. She had actually guessed the general situation, but when she actually heard it, she was still too embarrassed to hold her head up. However, Ji Tianqing then remembered that Qianye was nearby, and it was not good for him to look at her like this. Immediately, she straightened her chest, remained motionless, and assumed a posture that she had never seen before.
Qianye felt dumbfounded and could only pretend to be stupid and let the two of them discuss the outcome first.
Li Kuanglan talked in Ji Tianqing's ear for a while, and then said: "Now you have to choose, to drink or not to drink?"
"Don't drink?" Qianye felt a little strange. Li Kuanglan glared at him and said angrily: "Of course one of them is full and the other is not! Do you want each of you to drink half of it, and then both of them will take advantage of you? That's a good idea!"
Qianye realized then that his face was on fire for a moment, and he wanted to explain that he did not want to have both, but he knew that the more he explained, the worse it would be.
"Wait, I don't think it's necessary to drink first. You can try it first and see if you can survive the night." Qianye said.
Li Kuanglan shook his head, "It's useless."
In fact, the three of them are all top experts of the younger generation, and they all have the qualifications to gradually challenge the experts of the previous generation. Naturally, it is obvious that Qianye's current ability cannot bring them together. Being able to take Li Kuanglan through the cold night like this is enough to shock the world.
Ji Tianqing suddenly said: "I'll drink."
"Huh?" Li Kuanglan didn't expect her to make such a choice. This was completely unexpected. Originally, there was nothing between Ji Tianqing and Qianye, unlike Li Kuanglan, who had become so close that they could no longer be close. Li Kuanglan thought that if Ji Tianqing was left the same as she was the previous two nights, as long as she didn't pass the last step, she should be able to accept it. As for myself, I have actually been prepared for it. But unexpectedly, Ji Tianqing directly crossed the final boundary.
Qianye felt a headache and wanted to persuade him again. For him now, no matter who drinks alcohol, it's a big trouble, so it's better to just drink yourself to the point of losing your mind. But if that were the case, he wouldn't be able to promote their vitality.
So just like Li Kuanglan said, one day there will be no excuses even if you want to.
Ji Tianqing suddenly took out a jar of wine, smashed it with one palm, and then opened his mouth to take a sip. All the wine liquid merged into a line and went straight into his stomach, so fast that Qianye and Li Kuanglan couldn't stop him.
Both Qianye and Li Kuanglan know very well how overbearing the power of this wine is. Drinking a bottle of it can indeed resist the power of midnight coldness, but there is no way to suppress the instinctive desire.
A very complicated look flashed in Li Kuanglan's eyes. He looked at Ji Tianqing and didn't know what to say. At this moment, her heart was like a mess, she was surprised, but more disappointed, like a little girl who had just been robbed of candy.
For a moment, she had the urge to ask Qianye for some wine and drink it.
It’s just cheaper than that fool, so what else?
It seems that except for being a little stupid, that idiot is pretty good at everything else.
In a daze, Li Kuanglan's ears heard the words from Eunuch Liu again. Based on her understanding of her sister, her words were unusually harsh. If she goes against her will on this matter, it's hard to say what Empress Li can do. If she can get to the back position, she won't take family ties too seriously.
But what to do now?
Li Kuanglan bit his lower lip and looked at Ji Tianqing and Qianye. He was so confused that he couldn't think of a reason. In this cold night, she was cultivating the cold force. She should have been extremely calm, but her heart was beating faster and faster.
She didn’t know, could it be that Ji Tianqing snatched him away just by looking at him?
Li Kuanglan actually hated herself a little. Why did she have to give her the choice? After reaching this point, why couldn't she be more proactive? Why do I, who have always acted resolutely and decisively, become so timid at this most critical moment?
Qianye was silent and helpless. No matter who it is, it's the same to him. Suddenly upset, he stood up, walked to the side, and looked up at the night sky. In the depths of the night sky, there was no moon or stars, but they were full of night pupils.
Ji Tianqing suddenly showed a naughty smile and said, "You can do whatever you want, I'm drunk."
After saying that, she fell on the ground and seemed to be drunk and fell asleep.
This time it was Li Kuanglan's turn to be shocked and rushed over, leaving all the messy thoughts behind. In this cold night, sleeping means death.
Unexpectedly, Ji Tianqing suddenly raised her head and said, "When you are there, remember to stay close to me and let me take advantage of it." Then with a plop, she fell asleep again.
Li Kuanglan suddenly had the urge to strangle her to death.
