The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 233 - My Predecessor is Useless
Two months to the Fire Festival. The situation of the martial world of the Jiang Empire seemed to calm down differently than people thought. The movement of black flow no longer occurs after the destruction of the Red Full Moon.
Just the first time it had happened in the Jiang Empire, an Emperor directly trained thousands of warriors and warriors who joined the Dawn Dragon Lantern. You could say that in just his one month of leadership, Jing Yang had earned a special place in the hearts of his people.
Jing Yang himself was now in Xuedong City and was conversing with Shen Mi. While Xue Bingyue was undergoing the ritual of lifting the Moon Snow Island Matriarch.
Jing Yang had accompanied the ritual, but when the special ritual was carried out, Xue Lihua asked Jing Yang not to watch because the actual rapture ritual Xue Bingyue had run was a way of mastering the Yin Body.
Jing Yang understood even more when he saw that Xue Bingyue was only wearing a white cloth wrapped around her body as well as Xue Lihua and Xue Liwen. Jing Yang filled his free time by walking around the Moon Snow Island and ended up in Xuedong City when he saw Shen Mi was walking on the beach with Bai Xianlin and Shi Surao.
Jing Yang was shocked to learn that the Five Colors House was widely known to the public as the largest orphanage institution. With the Five Color House, now the orphans out there no longer feel hungry or have no place.
Jing Yang was always mentioned about the figure of Shen Mi who always rejected the proposal from every man. Hearing this Jing Yang could see clearly if Shen Mi had deep feelings for him.
Perhaps due to the mysterious visions of the future that the King of Hell showed, Jing Yang's maturation was more visible.
“Your Majesty, how does it feel?” Shen Mi asked after preparing a warm cup of tea for Jing Yang.
Jing Yang did not dare to look at Shen Mi's face and averted his gaze, ‘When drinking this instantly I felt calm and warm.’.
Shen Mi was puzzled to see Jing Yang's expression not staring at her face and closed her eyes. Occasionally it was seen Jing Yang smiling to himself.
“Shen-Shen Mi!” Jing Yang gasped in shock. Her cheeks met red as her eyes looked at Shen Mi's appearance.
“What's up, Your Honor?” The soft and polite voice asked again.
“Shen Mi's. Can you call me Jing Yang. I like that better than Your Majesty. It sounds ridiculous.” Jing Yang returned to drinking warm tea after saying so.
Shen Mi laughed crisply at Jing Yang's expression. The young man's face was the one he had missed so much. Shen Mi nodded gently and smiled sweetly.
“No, I want to call you Emperor Yang. Can?” Shen Mi noticed Jing Yang's facial expression which slowly started to look calm.
“Termujah. If you like it, it doesn't matter.” Jing Yang sighed lightly as he replied.
“So can I call you Miss Shen?” It was Jing Yang's turn to ask.
“Hmmm, whatever. If Emperor Yang likes it, you can call me that.” Shen Mi's crisp answer made Jing Yang again sigh lightly.
“Good. I have something to talk to you about, Shen Mi. It's about the two Clans in Jiu and Daejong. I hear you've hired some Shinobi, haven't you?” Instantly Jing Yang's expression looked solemn.
“Yes, they all also brought the last message from Shogun Jiu to you, Emperor Jiang in the future.” Shen Mi put on a serious expression as dozens of Shinobi suddenly appeared behind her.
Jing Yang released a murderous aura thinking the Shinobi were about to harm Shen Mi.
“Touch him one finger, I'll kill you!” Jing Yang did not playfully release a murderous aura that made a number of Shinobi duck.
Shen Mi's face flushed red at Jing Yang's angry expression due to a misunderstanding. Shen Mi stood up and smiled sumringah knowing Jing Yang cared about her.
“Emperor Yang, they are my subordinates!” Shen Mi stood before Jing Yang and stared intently at the young man.
“Hah?” Jing Yang himself was shocked to find that the entire Shinobi looked terrified. Moreover, Shen Mi's current expression made her misbehave.
Shen Mi sat beside Jing Yang and looked at the young man meaningfully. Really Shen Mi did not expect Jing Yang to say the words that made her heart beat fast.
“Stop the jokes you guys are talking about. Wife-to-be? Me and Shen Mi haven't had any ties yet.” Jing Yang responded to the Shinobi's remark firmly.
“Now explain to me the last words of the Jiu Shogun and the ancient covenant of the Jiang Family, the Mangetsu Clan and the Lee Family. I want to know.” Jing Yang immediately gave the order to the Shinobi who was now bowing before him.
“Emperor Yang, it's a long story. You don't need to rush.” Shen Mi who responded to Jing Yang's remark, while the Shinobi fell silent.
One of the Shinobi who spoke to Jing Yang introduced himself as Toramasa. Toramasa tells the long history of the State of Jiu and Daejong which was once part of the Jiang Empire.
After the State of Jiu and Daejong was formed, the previous Emperor Jiang made a treaty with the State of Daejong and the Land of Jiu, if there was no ceasefire or future war involving these three countries.
The agreement was broken when the Demon Skull Island led by Mao Gang colonized the Land of Jiu and Daejong with the help of Tang Mu. In addition Mao Gang killed Shogun Jiu and King Daejong.
Other than breaking the agreement, the Jiang Empire had also done nothing to the Demon Skull Island for decades. Even from generation to generation there is no cooperation relationship with Jiu Country and Daejong Country.
“Looks like my predecessors are so useless.” Jing Yang responded to Toramasa's words.
“Truely, Emperor.” Toramasa subconsciously acknowledged Jing Yang's words.
“I'm sorry, Emperor. I didn't mean-”
Jing Yang raised his hand, “It's okay, after all it's all a fact. I as Emperor Jiang will make amends for my predecessors.”
Shen Mi raised her eyebrows hearing Jing Yang say so. This young man beside her was already different from the one she first remembered. Now Jing Yang looked even more dignified even his occasional cold gaze made Shen Mi's heart thump even more.
“The ancient covenant was broken by my people. So what are Shogun Jiu's last words?” Jing Yang looked at Toramasa sharply.
Toramasa lowered his head, “He wants a surnamed Jiang to free Jiu Country and marry his only daughter.”
Jing Yang choked on hearing it, “Married? Hah, why have I heard these words lately?” Jing Yang held onto a cup of tea with trembling hands.
Shen Mi held back her laughter seeing Jing Yang's complicated expression. There was shock and confusion there.
“What's that Shogun Jiu's last wish?” Jing Yang asked again.
Toramasa nodded his head, “True, Emperor. Those were the last words he said.”
Jing Yang let out a long sigh then closed his eyes, “It's very complicated." Jing Yang threw his body back.
“I thought I would hear information about Demon Skull Island or Mao Gang, but I actually heard this information..”.
Hearing Jing Yang being upset, Toramasa and Shen Mi were confused as to what to do. Although it had looked so authoritative, in the end Jing Yang was still a thirteen-year-old boy.
After listening to something that didn't suit his mind, Jing Yang became annoyed. But the frustration did not last long as Toramasa told Jing Yang that as long as he managed to escape from the Demon Skull Island, Toramasa and his friends had been looking for some information regarding Tang Mu's figure.
“In addition, we have also found information about the Three Everlasting Skulls, although information about them is very little.” Toramasa added.
Jing Yang got back up and said, “Three Everlasting Skulls?” Clearly Jing Yang remembered the name of this group. I think the Three Eternal Skulls have more terrifying potential than the Demon Skull Island.
