2032 Promise


    "I have no n for that too, Brother Long."


    Nan Hua''s words sounded indifferent, but there was a trace of solemnness within. She was making her promise for Long Qian Xing and for herself.


    A promise she wanted to keep for the rest of her life.


    She had made him waited for a long time because of her own uneasiness, confusion, and indecisiveness.


    Most of her decision was usually made quickly because it involved the immediate life and death. But when it came to her own feelings, Nan Hua couldn''te to term with it immediately and refused to acknowledge it.


    Burying her feelings deep in her heart, too afraid to show it.


    Because she knew very well that the moment she showed her heart out was the moment when she put herself in vulnerable position. Allowing herself to be hurt again after she had long tried to bury everything in her heart and never let anyone knew about what she felt in the past.


    But she had no regret.


    Because she knew that her life is short and she also wanted to experience the live with the person she loves for the rest of her life.


    There might be some bumpy road in the middle.


    But she wanted to try it.


    Not just because her heart was moved but also because she had seen his sincerity and knew that running away would only hurt both of them.


    So, she had to step forward to take it.


    For both of their sake.


    Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua''s eyes and his heart skipped a beat. There was no need for any romantic words nor any sweet words, because he knew that he couldn''t expect those from her.


    But he knew very well that Nan Hua was someone who kept her words when she meant it.


    And she was making her promise to him and to herself.


    "I''ll always be by your side, a constant presence in your journey, supporting you, protecting you and standing with you through it all." Long Qian Xing said slowly, word by words. He looked straight in Nan Hua''s eyes as he made his promise. In this life, let him be with her.


    If possible, he wanted to stay with Nan Hua in her next life too, but he was sure that saying it now would not be believable. After all, he didn''t know what he would do in the next life, if that life even exist.


    The two of them looked at each other with a faint smile on their lips.


    Some things didn''t require words to say.


    Because time will tell how long would their feelings towards each other will


    eventuallyst but the two of them were sure that it''llst until the rest of their lives. They were not willing to leave the other party unless death separate them.


    "En."


    Walking by the side of theke, the two of them could see the beautifulke by their side. It looked extraordinarily enchanting and beautiful, attracting their attention and captivated their gaze.


    Standing side by side, Long Qian Xing pulled Nan Hua closer to him as he continued to hold her hands.


    Having her hand in his grasp made him feel safer, that she would always be by his side and that they were not separated. Even if he knew that she had said that she would not leave, at this moment, he wanted to cherish her presence even more. Staring at theke together, they stayed silent for a while.


    Just enjoying the moment when the two of them could be together.


    After a while, Nan Hua broke the silence, "Brother Long, how''s the situation of the war?"


    Even though it might be nice to spend their time together without the need to think about anything else, but the two of them were still generals of Fei Yang Kingdom. And Nan Hua also didn''t want to see her interference caused the war to be lost. "Everything has been doing quite well." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "Heavenly General Sang did prepare some annoying ns against us in the south. The three generals are quite troublesome, but they''re dealt with as time passed. The most troublesome one is the third one because he always stay at the back but the flood a few days ago settled it too...."


    After that, Long Qian Xing told Nan Hua about the summary of the war that he had experienced over the time.


    He had to say that Heavenly General Sang was truly ambitious and wanted to destroy him quickly as he kept sending many elite soldiers to his ce. And Long Qian Xing and General Jun''s army was also shrinking because of this war.


    They held on.


    But it was not without sacrifices.


    Many soldiers died in the war and would never be able to return in this life ever again. It was extremely miserable.


    But for the sake of victory, this sacrifice was necessary.


    Long Qian Xing also briefed Nan Hua about his father''s move and the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Shi Long Kingdom. The time when Nan Hua was ''sleeping''


    was not very long, but a lot of things had happened in the war between the two kingdoms.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Nan Hua listened to Long Qian Xing''s words and looked at theke in front of her. Who would have thought that this beautifulke had drowned hundred thousands of soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom?


    Just because of the order from their general, these soldiers were all buried here and will never had the chance to see light once again.


    But that was just how it is.


    "I know, has His Majesty given you the next order?" Nan Hua asked.


    Long Qian Xing chuckled. "We''re too far away from Fei Yang Kingdom''s Capital City, so it''s unlikely for them to even send any message to me. But even without him giving me order, I''m not going to return to Fei Yang Kingdom. At the very least, not


    yet for now."


    Not returning...


    It meant, Long Qian Xing was nning to counterattack Shi Long Kingdom.
