It was late at night, and all the people in the Imperial Palace fell into sleep . There were only the footsteps of the Imperial Guards on the patrol arising in the tranquil palace .

“Your Highness, do you really want to do this?” asked Xiao Rang .

Neither of us slept . He guarded at the door and wouldn’t sleep until the daybreak .

“Do you think Leng Chen will send his men to the mortal world to chase after us?” I asked him .

“Yes, I do . ” His reply was rather resolute .

“Then I’ll do this,” said I .

Xiao Rang stared at me with confusion .

“I’ll go back with my army . ” I walked to the window and looked out at the night .

A figure sat at a corner against the moonlight who raised its head and looked up into the spa.r.s.e stars in the night sky .

I saw clearly that it was Jiuyang . The wind at night fluttered her hair just like her heart at the moment that was rather hard to calm down .

How many people’s hearts were peaceful in the Imperial Palace?

Since my sleepiness was gone, I stepped out my sleeping chamber . Having sensed me approaching her, she wiped her eyes with her hand before I came to her .

Did she cry just now?

“Why are you here alone so late? ”

“Why are you also here?” She turned around and asked me .

“The night sky here is different from where I was born,” said I in a calm voice after I sat down .

“So it is . This is the mortal world that can’t be comparable to the snowland . ” Her voice was a little indifferent as if she deliberately expressed her disaffection toward me .

“I can’t recognize those constellations . Otherwise, I probably practice divination . ” I snapped my fingers and made a cold fire . How sad she was against the blue firelight!

“I can also do that . ” As she spoke, she stretched out two fingers and began to reckon something . I immediately fixated my eyes on her attentive eyes, for the way we practiced divination was totally different from hers .

“It’s the Kun Diagram tonight . A dragon appears on the field, which is beneficial for those people of high moral standing . ”

“What do you mean?” I didn’t understand .

“In other words, a dragon appearing is good for the king . This is the manifestation of divination of my father and you . ”

“I still don’t get it . ”

“Are you a divine spirit? How can you not understand this?” Jiuyang was rather furious, pouted her lips, and rolled her eyes at me . “My father is in trouble, and he needs a competent man to help him . ”

“You mean me and Xiao Rang?”

“I don’t know . ”

“It can’t be me, because I’m not a dragon . ”

“Why are you not a dragon?”

“There is no dragon in our place . ”

“You’re so stupid . In our mortal world, the dragon stands for the emperor just like my father who is fated to be the king . You say you are the second prince, do you? Thus, you also have a dragon fate . ”

I smile . I wasn’t a prince anymore . I was exiled from my own kingdom since childbirth . Those who wanted to ruin me never stop chasing after me all the way along .

“Did you say that you wanted to go back? How do you go back?” Jiuyang looked at me nervously as if I would leave at any time without saying good-bye .

“As the prince, I need to go back where I’m supposed to go . ”

“Just by you two? Do you think you can go back to your Imperial Palace alive?”

“I’m a divine spirit . ”

“You’re indeed a divine spirit in the mortal world, but you’re still the same as your fellows, aren’t you?”

That made sense . I was here with the wizardry that didn’t exist in the mortal world . Once I was back on the snowland, I would be confronted with those wizards just like me . In that case, I wouldn’t think that I would be in a more advantageous position . At most, I was a little more powerful than them .

“I’m done talking to you . If I had known it would be you, I would’ve . . . ” Jiuyang turned around and ran away before she finished her words .

I knew that she cared about her promise . “You don’t need to take it seriously . ”

“I do . ” She stopped and said without looking back, “As the princess, I’ll always honor my promise . It’s you who help my father defeat the King of Kingdom Liang, so I’ll marry you for sure . ”

“Then you don’t say that easily,” said I calmly . I turned my wrist and pulled back the cold fire .

“You!” She ran back and kicked hard on my foot which also hurt herself .

Xiao Rang tried to stop her upon seeing this . However, he snickered when he saw that she asked for a snub .

“I need an army,” said I thoughtfully .

“My father only has 30,000 soldiers left to guard our kingdom . ”

“I need as many as soldiers to help me regain what I’ve lost . ”

“Oh, you are just thinking of yourself . Ironically, my father pins his hope on you . ”

“It’s terrible if you count on the others . Perhaps, the hope will turn you into desperate tomorrow . ” I learned this deeply from my life experience . Thanks to those years’ experience, both I and Xiao Rang became independent . We did everything to survive . To survive was the top priority .

“You can recruit men and buy up horses . Since you’re a divine spirit, you’ll definitely figure a way out, huh?” said she with a sneer .

The conversation between us ended unhappily .

The night was so tranquil that people couldn’t sleep soundly .
