Chapter 4 of the Romantic Continent: The Dream of the Milky Way

Standing on the long street, Yi Si's hand on his sword, was filled with mixed emotions. Perhaps it truly was fate; no matter how hard he tried, his dream of restoring the Tianhe Kingdom remained unfulfilled. Although Zhang Lie had raised an army, claiming to rebuild Tianhe, his true purpose was merely to use Tianhe's name. Was he, King Yi Si, nothing more than a decoration to attract old friends from Tianhe?

Thinking of this, Yi Si couldn't help but smile bitterly. How many of his men were truly dedicated to restoring Tianhe? He glanced back at Yang Jian, whose expression was complex, then at the group of strong warriors who had followed him for many years beside Yang Jian, and finally his gaze fell on the somber-looking Winnie.

Winnie couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, we can start over. Let's go!"

Yi Si shook his head, resolutely turned around, and looked straight ahead at the other end of the street, where the Tianlong Legion's soldiers were advancing into Tianyuan along the predetermined route. He didn't look back, but he knew that in the small building behind him, a woman was looking at him with deep affection.

"If you die, I will not live alone!"

The deeply etched vow still echoed in his ears. Perhaps the person he had wronged the most was this woman. For his sake, she had given up her position as the head of her clan and willingly suffered for him.

"I should treat her well! I must treat her well!!"

After making this decision in his heart, Yi Si suddenly raised her head and let out a long howl, as if to drive away all the distracting thoughts in her mind. At this moment, the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion were almost in front of him. Seeing a man standing in the middle of the long street, they were quite surprised.

"I am Yi Si of Tianhe. Tell Ye Tianlong to come see me!!" Yi Si shouted sharply.

The general of this army was Dong Guo. Upon seeing this, he immediately ordered his troops to stop and sent someone to report to Ye Tianlong immediately. Because he was one of the seven generals who attended the military conference, he knew the relationship between Yi Si and Ye Tianlong.

Ye Tianlong soon appeared in Yi Si's sight, and two sealed war chariots silently drove up behind him.

"Draw your sword! Let me see if you're worthy to be the master of this land!"

Seeing Ye Tianlong stride towards her through the crowd, Yi Si drew her longsword, tossed aside the scabbard, and shouted at Ye Tianlong.

Ye Tianlong stared at Yi Si for a long time, then suddenly nodded and shouted, "Very well, let's have a fair fight!" Yi Si stopped talking, smiled coldly, and with a flick of her sword, the Tianhe family's ultimate sword technique unleashed its power like thunder, her body and sword advancing in a fierce and aggressive attack. Ye Tianlong knew that the greatest characteristic of the Tianhe family's legendary ultimate sword technique was its continuous sword momentum. Once he got his hands on it, the sword momentum would be like the Yangtze River, not something that could be finished in ten or eight moves. With a flash of inspiration, Ye Tianlong shouted and raised the Fiery Sword to strike down. He actually used a saber technique with his sword, which surprised everyone.

Heat surged, energy filled the air, and crimson flames soared. The divine weapon Fiery Sword was indeed incredibly powerful.

Yi Si paused, then seized an open space, his sword moving nimbly as he counterattacked his opponent's left flank. With a cold shout, he unleashed a dazzling sword arc. His sword, "Water Cloud," was also a national treasure of the Tianhe family. While not ordinary, it was still inferior to the divine weapon, "Blazing Fire." Naturally, he was reluctant to engage in a direct confrontation, lest he damage his sword.

Ye Tianlong seized the initiative in a single move, forcing Yi Si to change his strategy mid-fight. This move caused Yang Jian and Winnie to change their expressions drastically, secretly alarmed.

At this moment, the two were fiercely engaged in battle, each displaying their skills with all their might. Sword light flashed, wind and thunder seemed to lurk, and each used rapid attacks to seize the initiative—a rare and intense battle. However, Yi Si's Water Cloud sword was inherently inferior to Ye Tianlong's divine weapon, "Blazing Fire." He could only try his best to avoid direct confrontation with Ye Tianlong, naturally falling into a disadvantageous position.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen moves had passed. From the sky filled with sword light, Ye Tianlong let out a deep shout, like a thunderclap, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

A dazzling red light surged and shot out, and the flashing white lightning in the sky disappeared.

With a loud "clang," sparks flew, a gale swept, and the energy surged wildly. The sword energy was bone-chilling, mixed with a scorching sharpness. Even those outside the arena could feel its terrifying power.

Yi Si's figure suddenly appeared, but he was already two zhang away. The sword in his hand was cold and menacing, and his body seemed to be shrouded in a strange green light, while the Water Cloud Sword in his hand burst out with white energy.

Ye Tianlong, on the other hand, stood still with his sword, the Fiery Sword in his hand emitting a faint dragon's roar, and the raging flames seemed about to break free from the sword. The two finally clashed head-on, but the result was that Yi Si and his sword were knocked away.

This single sword strike clearly demonstrated Ye Tianlong's superior skill. If Yi Si hadn't relied on her remarkable agility to fight Ye Tianlong, she would have been defeated long ago.

Ye Tianlong's sword sent Yi Si reeling, and he stood tall, sword in hand, like a god guarding a pass. His tiger-like eyes reflected a terrifying, flickering light in the bright sunlight.

"Give up!" Ye Tianlong uttered each word with overwhelming force. "Use whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve, and I'll make you submit!" At this moment, Ye Tianlong exuded an aura of unparalleled arrogance, truly embodying the awe-inspiring power of a hegemon. Those lacking courage would crumble under his overwhelming presence, perhaps unable even to throw their swords.

Behind him, the numerous soldiers of the Tianlong Legion roared in unison, many of them screams from the female soldiers of the central army's women's battalion, deeply impressed by their commander's prowess.

Looking at Yang Jian, Winnie, and the others, their faces were ashen. They knew that in terms of both momentum and martial arts, Yi Si was completely at a disadvantage. Encountering an opponent like Ye Tianlong was truly unfortunate for Yi Si.

Ye Tianlong swung his Fiery Sword forward, the sound of wind and thunder faintly emanating from it. It seemed that his sword could unleash incredibly magical power, and wherever it pointed, the wind and clouds would change color.

"Come on, I'm waiting for you! Otherwise, I'll throw down my sword and admit defeat!"

Yi Si's expression changed several times, turning from green to white. Suddenly, he raised his sword and drew it upward, his face turning snow-white in that instant. Clearly, he was about to use his final move.

Sure enough, three dazzling bolts of lightning suddenly tore through the air. It seemed that at that moment, the Water Cloud Sword in his hand had transformed into three monstrous waves, crashing against the shore with a momentum that would never return, rushing straight towards Ye Tianlong.

Ye Tianlong's Fiery Sword suddenly unleashed a barrage of light waves, like a fiery cloud meeting a raging torrent. Three strange sonic booms echoed from the crimson cloud, and three dazzling bolts of lightning flashed within it. These bolts of light, upon reaching the Fiery Sword, shattered into scattered stars, accompanied by a resounding roar like dragons and tigers.

With a long howl, Ye Tianlong and his sword merged, light and shadow flashing, wind and thunder striking towards Yi Si. The two-zhang distance was covered in a flash.

Yi Si's figure vanished in a blink, but another streak of light emerged from the still-present white light wave to his side, trailing a green tail, swiftly striking Ye Tianlong's vitals from behind.

"Clone Slash!"

This technique, a fusion of mysterious Taoist magic from the eastern continent, indeed possessed unpredictable power, but correspondingly, it placed extremely high demands on the user. The user had to imbue their primordial spirit into the strike, thus multiplying the damage received upon being attacked.

Missing his attack, Ye Tianlong immediately unleashed a powerful sword strike with a whirlwind, the gleaming tip of his sword spitting out a streak of crimson flame that struck the stream of light with deadly precision.

A deafening thunderclap followed, and sparks flew from the explosion.

Yi Si's figure appeared in the middle of the street, his feet barely touching the ground before he abruptly flipped backward, clearly the residual force of the energy still too strong for him to resist.

Staggering back five or six steps, the light on the Water Cloud Sword dimmed. Yi Si's

stance was unsteady; she could barely stand, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, her face pale, clearly exhausted and suffering severe internal injuries. Ye Tianlong only took one step back before regaining his footing, proudly gazing at Yi Si with his sword drawn. At this moment, Yang Jian and Winnie, recovering from the fierce battle, hurriedly leaped in front of Yi Si, fearing Ye Tianlong would seize the opportunity to pursue and kill her. But their actions were futile; Ye Tianlong did not strike again.

"Enough, enough!" Seemingly still recovering from the fierce battle, Yi Si stood frozen, then let out a long sigh. "Let's go!"

With Yang Jian and Winnie covering their retreat, Yi Si and her group slowly walked down the long street. Suddenly, a petite figure leaped from a street corner, ran to Yi Si's side, and together they gradually disappeared from Ye Tianlong's sight. Without Ye Tianlong's orders, the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion could only watch them recede into the distance until they disappeared from sight.

Watching Yi Si and her group walk away, Ye Tianlong felt a great sense of relief. He was very satisfied with this outcome, and in his fight with Yi Si, he discovered that he could now freely unleash his special techniques without feeling out of control or running out of steam. This discovery filled him with ecstasy. His time spent practicing with the two girls had paid off; this feeling of wanting more was wonderful!

While Ye Tianlong and his men were busy taking over Tianyuan City, Yi Si's strategist, Winnie, suddenly appeared before him again, bringing a letter from Yi Si to be delivered to Wan Zhen.

"His Highness Yi Si asked me to tell you, sir, that from now on, he will no longer appear before you. Please take good care of his sister." Winnie, with mixed feelings, handed Yi Si's letter to Ye Tianlong and was about to take his leave when Ye Tianlong called him back.

Ye Tianlong stared intently at Winnie. "I heard from Ji Wujiu that you are resourceful and wise, so I would like to ask you to stay and help me. What do you say?" Winnie gave a bitter smile and said, "How can a defeated general speak of bravery! You flatter me too much, sir. Let me disappear with Princess Yisi." "Wouldn't that be a waste of your ambition?" Ye Tianlong said calmly. "Yisi sent you to deliver a message because she doesn't want to waste your talent. To showcase your abilities, you need opportunities and places to do so, and I can provide such an opportunity!" "Junior brother, think it over carefully." Ji Wujiu suddenly spoke up from the side. "I don't want someone to use someone as talented as you against us. That would cause us a lot of trouble." Ji Wujiu's heavy words made Winnie stand frozen for a long time before suddenly bowing down to Ye Tianlong. "Aren't you afraid that I might have ulterior motives?" Hearing Winnie's words, Ye Tianlong laughed heartily. After laughing, he stared intently at Winnie and said, "I can use you, or I can kill you. And someone as intelligent as you should know what the right choice is." At this point, Winnie had no further words and accepted the position of advisor bestowed upon him by Ye Tianlong.

The Tianlong Legion, having completely taken control of Tianyuan City, discovered, after taking inventory, that a large number of warships were missing. It turned out that Zhang Lie's sister, Zhang Xiuying, along with her personal guards, had preemptively boarded warships at the north gate and sailed towards Tianhe City before the Tianlong Legion entered Tianyuan City. At the time, the city was somewhat chaotic due to Yi Si's decision to open the city gates, and the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion were unaware of the situation, allowing Zhang Xiuying and her group to easily take away most of the warships of the new Tianhe army.

This news made Ji Wujiu sigh inwardly; rebuilding a navy was by no means a matter of a day or two.

After reading the letter left by Yi Si, Ye Tianlong glanced at Wan Zhen. Seeing her eyes slightly red, he sighed softly and pulled her into his arms, whispering in her ear, "If you don't want to do it, let me handle it!" "No!" Wan Zhen's voice was gentle yet firm. "I want to see them!"

Ye Tianlong silently held Wan Zhen tighter, feeling her delicate body so fragile. A surge of pity welled up in his heart. Asking Wan Zhen to appease the old retainers of the Tianhe Kingdom was truly putting her in a difficult position.

Before leaving, Yi Si had explained Wan Zhen's identity to the old retainers of Tianhe who accompanied him, telling them that he didn't want the people of Tianhe to suffer the pain of war anymore and that he wanted to hand Tianhe over to Wan Zhen. These elders of Tianhe then requested to see the princess of their former kingdom. After all, if Wan Zhen was indeed the princess of their former kingdom, then Tianhe Kingdom would have returned to its former master.

Accompanied by Ye Tianlong, Wanzhen, carrying the national treasure of Tianhe Kingdom—the Snow Jade Token—met with a group of former elders and officials of the kingdom. Upon seeing their former national treasure, the old men were overcome with emotion, tears streaming down their faces. They all knelt down, addressing Wanzhen as "Your Highness," creating a scene that was both poignant and tragic, deeply moving Wanzhen.

Meanwhile, outside the city, the people cheered, for Ye Tianlong had ordered that every person present receive five gold coins as compensation for the disturbance. Having initially thought they were facing imminent disaster, this unexpected windfall made the people feel that their ordeal in the middle of the night had been worthwhile.

Watching the people joyfully line up to receive gold coins from the soldiers of the Heavenly Dragon Legion, a man on a hill not far from the city, carrying a wine sack and whose age was hard to guess from his appearance, sighed softly and muttered, "Between life and death, joy and sorrow are so easily found. It seems that being an ordinary person who knows nothing might be a kind of happiness." His exceptional intellect allowed him to immediately see the Heavenly Dragon Legion's purpose in driving these people to the gates of Tianyuan City. He felt a sense of dread and disgust towards those who devised such a vicious scheme, but his calm rationality also forced him to admit that it was a very good plan. Only a strategist who had repeatedly weighed the opponent's moves could make this plan truly effective.

"It seems I really am a contradictory person!" The man shook his head, raised the wine sack, pulled out the cork, and took several large gulps before letting out a satisfied sigh. He put down the sack, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and looked up at the Heavenly Dragon flag fluttering above Tianyuan City.

"Ye Tianlong, what kind of person are you?" His voice still lingered in the air when he vanished into the vast earth.

Wanzhen very politely comforted the former elders of the Tianhe Kingdom, encouraging them to work harder for the people of Tianhe so that they could live in peace and prosperity. This surprised Ye Tianlong greatly. To match Wanzhen's words, Ye Tianlong also bestowed some gifts upon these elders.

After seeing off the old men from Tianhe, Ye Tianlong shook his head, thinking to himself, "No wonder Tianhe Kingdom was destroyed; there were hardly any decent talents in the country. What use are these old guys besides feigning loyalty?" Just as he was pondering this, he heard Wanzhen's gentle, grateful voice beside him: "My lord, thank you!"

Composing himself, Ye Tianlong looked into Wanzhen's bright, tear-filled eyes and said softly, "Silly girl, you are my wife, your affairs are my affairs. Why are you being so polite with me?" Wanzhen couldn't help but throw herself into Ye Tianlong's arms, tears silently streaming down her face, but her heart was filled with warm love.

"Alright! Don't be so moved anymore, or my clothes will be soaked."

Feeling Wanzhen's mood slowly recovering, Ye Tianlong leaned down and chuckled in her ear. Wanzhen quickly looked up shyly; sure enough, Ye Tianlong's chest was already wet.

"Oh dear, this is bad! Your eyes are all red, you're not pretty at all!"

Ye Tianlong's exaggerated reaction made Wanzhen laugh and scold, "I'm just an ugly woman, how can I be pretty or not!" "Are you implying that I have poor eyesight?" Ye Tianlong said seriously, "As a connoisseur of beauty, I won't allow such slander. You have to compensate me for the damage to my reputation!" Startled by Ye Tianlong's sudden seriousness, Wanzhen hadn't yet understood what was happening when Ye Tianlong's hand gently patted her buttocks. "Tonight I'll make your buttocks bloom, hehe."

Wanzhen's face flushed crimson, but her eyes were filled with tenderness and affection. She had already learned from Cynthia and the others about the other meaning of "buttocks being bruised," and recalling that scene made her heart pound.

"Do you object?" Ye Tianlong leaned closer to Wanzhen and said fiercely.

Wanzhen's face was so red it seemed to bleed. She knew this hateful man wanted her to say it herself.

She gave Ye Tianlong a coquettish glare, then suddenly pounced on him and wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering in his ear, "No objection, no objection, I'll do whatever you want with me..."

Ye Tianlong couldn't help but burst into laughter. He proudly put his arm around Wanzhen's slender waist and was about to speak when Yu Fengwu and Chen Yue walked in from outside, chatting happily.

Seeing Ye Tianlong and Wanzhen's state, Chenyue couldn't help but laugh and say to Fengwu, "It seems we've come at the wrong time! We've disturbed our husband and Wanzhen's enjoyment; we're truly terrified." Wanzhen was extremely embarrassed and was about to defend herself when Ye Tianlong replied matter-of-factly, "So how are you going to compensate us now?" Chenyue stuck out her tongue, looking quite charming, "Then let's pretend we were never here, and my sister and I will leave right away!" "Ha, since you've come to our doorstep, how can we let you go?" Ye Tianlong said smugly, then looked down at Wanzhen and smiled, "Tonight, we'll have one more person to share the punishment with you."

"Ah!" Hearing Ye Tianlong's words, Wanzhen and Chenyue both gasped softly. Wanzhen was overwhelmed with embarrassment, while Chenyue was still somewhat confused, but the clever girl knew that Ye Tianlong must have some trick up his sleeve.

A glint of light flashed in Yu Fengwu's eyes, and she said with a charming smile, "I wonder what my husband has to do? I will certainly obey." Ye Tianlong laughed heartily and nodded magnanimously, "Truly worthy of being my virtuous wife, she understands my heart so well!"

At this moment, Chenyue had already learned from Wanzhen what the punishment she had received was. Just thinking about how the two of them would have to receive her husband's caresses with their snow-white buttocks in the boudoir, a special feeling rose in her heart, and even her eyes became a little watery when she looked at Ye Tianlong.

"Our snowy buttocks are incredibly delicate, we beg our husbands to show mercy!"

Hearing Chen Yue's words, Ye Tianlong replied earnestly, "Of course, of course. That's why I invited Feng Wu to supervise the enforcement!" Yu Feng Wu, fully understanding the implication, quickly said, "Don't worry, I will make sure our husbands punish you fairly." The inexperienced Wan Zhen couldn't handle it, her face so embarrassed she almost hid in her chest. Finally, she found an excuse and hurriedly slipped away.

"Wan Zhen, you must be careful to protect your precious buttocks, lest you spoil our husbands' mood!"

Chen Yue called out to Wan Zhen's back, making Ye Tianlong both amused and annoyed. He couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Aren't you the same?" Chen Yue was stunned, while Yu Feng Wu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Ye Tianlong walked to Chen Yue's side, patted her blushing face, and laughed, "Next time, don't just be tempted by a few words and end up getting yourself into trouble too. Wouldn't that be considered losing both your wife and your army?" Yu Fengwu also teased, "I think she's practically offering herself up; maybe she's secretly pleased with herself." Chen Yue blushed deeply, grabbed Ye Tianlong's hand, and protested, "Look, my older sister is making fun of me..." That shy, girlish demeanor was truly captivating.

For Chen Yue and Yu Fengwu, both were exceptionally intelligent and quick-witted, always displaying composure and calmness in public. But this display of girlish charm, this playful banter in the bedroom, allowed them to experience a carefree and relaxed life and fully express their feelings.

However, if it were a man who didn't understand romance, he would naturally receive no response. Therefore, they often displayed some girlish behavior in front of Ye Tianlong, and Ye Tianlong handled these situations with ease, making them feel comfortable.

After a period of laughter and joking, the three of them finally got down to business with an extremely relaxed and happy mood. After discussion, Ye Tianlong finalized the personnel arrangements for Tianyuan City and the matter of attacking Tianhe. He then announced his decision to the generals of the Tianlong Legion.

Cui Wang was appointed as the city garrison commander of Tianyuan City, and three thousand soldiers were left in the city for defense. As for the Tianhe New Army soldiers in Tianyuan City, those who wished to join the Tianlong Legion would be placed under the command of Zhou Ming and Zhou Liang, while the rest would be demobilized and returned to their fields. After the baptism of war, many areas of Qingzhou, especially Tianhe, had large amounts of abandoned farmland. At Chen Yue's suggestion, Ye Tianlong would send people to re-plan and distribute these fields to the demobilized Tianhe New Army soldiers.

Such an order naturally dealt a heavy blow to Zhang Lie. Most of the soldiers of the Tianhe New Army came from farmers who had lost their land. Now they could get a piece of land for free and have government subsidies to cultivate it. Why should they still fight to the death?
