Zhang Jue no longer wanted to be in a battle. Yang Jian had guessed it correctly—the person that Zhang Jue cared
most about was his disciple, Eira.
Therefore, Zhang Jue had agreed to Yang Jian’s invitation to make sure that Eira was safe in the war.
Yang Jian was elated that Zhang Jue had agreed to his request. He threw his head back and laughed heartily. “This
is great! With Senior Zhang’s help, I shall unite all the nine continents and reign over it!”
After Yang Jian said that, the generals around him knelt and chanted in unison.
“Your Majesty is wise. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Military Advisor!”
Zhang Jue was indifferent to what was happening.
He only cared about the safety of his precious disciple. He was not bothered by the union of any of the continents.
Eira’s body trembled as she fixed her eyes on Zhang Jue; she felt very touched.
She knew that her master never liked to be restrained, but he had chosen to stay with the army for her sake.

Meanwhile, in Lilydale City.
Darryl had spent several hours on the deployment before sending the South Cloud Army to every corner of Lilydale
City. They had activated the defense mechanism in full force to prevent any attack from the North Moana Army.
Of course, the arrangement was not made based on Darryl’s whims and fancies. Pang Tong had given Darryl a lot
of suggestions discreetly.
Pang Tong was a famous Military Adviser during the Three Kingdoms era. Therefore, Lilydale City would have a full-
proof defense plan with Pang Tong’s participation.
“I travel in the dark night for my desire to go home is like an arrow seeking its target. For my beauty is waiting in
the lounge…”
Darryl hummed a song cheerfully as he walked under the moonlit night sky toward Quincy’s room; he was very
relaxed.
Quincy enjoyed a noble status as the Eldest Princess. Like the Empress, she lived in the Commander’s mansion.
The Empress would usually build her temporary palaces in advance whenever she visited a place. However, the
North Moana Army had attacked so suddenly, and the Empress rarely visited the border, so Lilydale City did not
have a temporary palace. Instead, the Empress had to stay in Tosh Zayne’s Commander’s mansion temporarily. It
was a significant compromise from the Empress.
After he entered the Commander’s mansion, Darryl noticed that lights were out in the courtyard at the back.
It was apparent that the Empress and Quincy were both exhausted physically and mentally after the brutal fight
against the North Moana Army during the day, and they had gone to bed early.
Ugh.
Darryl shook his head and sighed when he saw that.
‘Quincy can’t do this. She said she would honor her words and be at my service when I am ready to go to bed. So
how can she be asleep before I’m back?’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDarryl muttered in his heart as he walked toward the small courtyard.
‘Oh, f*ck!’
As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Darryl was immediately startled.
There were two identical rooms in the small courtyard. Which one was Quincy’s room?
Darryl noticed that the appearance and layout of the two rooms in front of him were precisely the same; he could
not distinguish them at all.
Darryl was confused.
‘Forget it; I’ll try the left one.’
After a few seconds, Darryl entered the left-wing slowly.
Hiss!
Darryl was shocked; he drew in a sharp breath as soon as he walked into the room and saw the scene inside it.
A golden threaded dragon robe and a slender and charming figure laid on the bed.
It was the Empress!
Darryl realized that the Empress was alone. It seemed like she had sent the palace maids and eunuchs away
because she wanted to rest.
