Chapter 125: Received the Unicorn Mount
Hua Yuchen held Luo Ying's hand tightly with reluctance, and the two walked hand in hand into the solemn and magnificent Heavenly Palace. The Emperor of Heaven had led the generals of the Heaven Realm to wait in the palace, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn. Luo Ying looked around and saw many figures in the palace. Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly broke free from Hua Yuchen's hand. Hua Yuchen's hand was suspended in the air, and an inexplicable sadness surged in her heart, as if she had lost something important.
The Emperor of Heaven slowly walked up to Luo Ying, looking her up and down with a sharp gaze. There was a strange light flashing in his eyes, as if he had seen some rare treasure.
He stroked his beard, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly: "Good...good...I didn't expect that after I got a daughter-in-law, I would also get such a heroic son!"
Luo Ying felt a little embarrassed by the Emperor's praise. She clasped her hands together, bowed her head slightly, and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are too kind!"
The Emperor smiled and lifted her hand, saying affectionately, "Call me father. Although you and Chen'er have not yet had a wedding ceremony, father has already decided in his heart that you are his good daughter-in-law!"
Luo Ying called out timidly, "Father."
She couldn't help but look up at Hua Yuchen, only to see that Hua Yuchen's face was full of joy, smiling, and his eyes were full of the tenderness of peach blossoms.
The Emperor of Heaven was even more delighted when he saw this. He patted Luo Ying on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Hey, good boy, your father has a treasure for you!"
Then, the Emperor waved his hand, a ray of light flashed, and a majestic and extraordinary pure white unicorn appeared out of thin air above the hall. Its figure was tall and strong, like a lonely and proud god on the top of a snowy mountain, making people unforgettable at first sight.
Luo Ying's eyes sparkled with surprise and joy. She pointed at the unicorn and said with a trembling voice, "This... this... is the legendary unicorn?"
The unicorn seemed to understand her exclamation. It raised its head happily and let out a clear and pleasant cry. The golden wings on both sides slowly spread out, and bright light flickered in the hall, as if lighting up the entire space.
Luo Ying was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It can actually understand what I say."
Seeing this, Hua Yuchen was also excited. He put his arm around Luo Ying's waist and said excitedly, "It seems that this unicorn is destined for you! It is wild and difficult to tame, even for me. Father dotes on it very much. I have asked him for it many times, but he was reluctant to give it to me. I didn't expect that father thought so highly of his daughter-in-law that he actually gave you his most beloved unicorn!"
Luo Ying's eyes welled up with tears of emotion when she heard this. She looked at the Emperor of Heaven and said in a choked voice, "Thank you, father, for your love!"
Luo Ying paused for a moment, clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to the Emperor of Heaven, and sincerely requested: "Father, I have a favor to ask of you!"
A hint of curiosity and expectation flashed in the eyes of the Emperor of Heaven. He smiled and said, "Don't mention one thing, Father will agree to ten things for you!"
Luo Ying bowed his head respectfully and said, "Thank you, father, for your grace. I have no other request, but I hope that when I lead the troops to the battle, can you conceal my identity as the prince's consort and not let the generals and soldiers know. I am worried that it will affect the morale of the army! It will be detrimental to the battle!"
After hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He lifted up Luo Ying's hand and said with emotion: "It's rare that you are so thoughtful and considerate, and you take the overall situation into consideration. But..."
Hua Yuchen's heart tightened when he heard this, and he immediately objected, "No, a woman leading an army of 100,000 cannot convince the people, and you have no military merits before. If you don't suppress them with your status as the prince's consort, I'm afraid they will rebel."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven nodded slightly and agreed, "Chen'er is right. This matter does need careful consideration."
However, Luo Ying responded calmly: "Even if you suppress them now with your status as the prince's consort, they are only afraid of your superficial respect for me. They will resist in their hearts, which is even more detrimental to the stability of the army. When marching outside, the most feared thing is unstable morale. If you are biased towards me to protect me, it will not only affect the morale of the 100,000 troops I lead, but will also indirectly affect the morale of the other hundreds of thousands of troops."
Hua Yuchen and the generals present were all briefly stunned after hearing Luo Ying's words. They could never have imagined that such a delicate and gentle woman could analyze the interests of military affairs so deeply, and every word she said hit the nail on the head, shocking the generals present.
Seeing this, the Emperor of Heaven couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter full of admiration and pride. He slowly said, "As expected of you, you are the continuation of the consciousness of the God of War. You can analyze the interests in military affairs so thoroughly. Father believes that you will have a strategy to convince the people in the next battle."
Hua Yuchen was about to raise another objection, but the Emperor of Heaven waved his hand gently, interrupting him. His face was filled with a mysterious smile, as if hiding a hint of playfulness, and he slowly said: "Chen'er, your wife is not an ordinary person. You have to believe that she is not as weak as you see on the surface. Maybe one day, her military strategy will surpass yours, haha..."
When Luo Ying heard what the Emperor said, she immediately responded jokingly, "Father, you must be joking. How can a woman like me be compared with an old veteran like Brother Yuchen who has fought on the battlefield?"
After hearing this, Hua Yuchen's smile became even brighter. He took Luo Ying into his arms, lowered his head and gazed at her, his eyes full of affection: "Why would I mind that my wife's military strategy surpasses mine, and her military exploits are more prominent than mine? My wife's glory is the glory of me as her husband. Others will only envy me, Hua Yuchen, for my unique vision. The wife I chose is gentle and affectionate at home, taking care of her husband and children; and brave and skilled in fighting on the battlefield, with prominent military exploits. With such an excellent wife, what else can I ask for!"
Luo Ying couldn't help laughing at his sweet words. She gently hooked his nose and said with a smile, "You are the only one who knows how to talk. The tense atmosphere was resolved with just one sentence from you."
Hua Yuchen gently rubbed Luo Ying's forehead with hers and said tenderly, "Isn't it because you taught me well?"
The intimate behavior between the two made the generals present cover their mouths and laugh secretly.
Seeing this, the Emperor of Heaven couldn't help but cough softly and said jokingly: "You two have forgotten all of us!"
Luo Ying heard the Emperor's reminder and hurriedly pushed Hua Yuchen away. At this time, the attendant hurriedly came to report, interrupting the warm and cheerful atmosphere. "Report to the Emperor, the Peony Flower God outside the palace wants to see Marshal Luo."
When Hua Yuchen heard the name of the Peony Goddess, she was immediately filled with rage. She clenched her fists, gnashing her teeth as she angrily said to Luo Ying, "She dared to come to my house again. Last time, we almost parted ways, and now she still doesn't repent!"
Luo Ying gently held Hua Yuchen's trembling hand, and their fingers were tightly intertwined, as if they were passing on each other's strength. She gently comforted him, "Don't get excited, listen to what she says first."
Then, Luo Ying turned to the attendant and ordered, "Let her in!"
Shao Hanyue lowered her head and walked in with heavy steps. She knelt down in front of Luo Ying, her voice trembling a little: "Sister Luo Ying, I know I was wrong. I was blinded by jealousy before and did many things to hurt you. I dare not ask for your forgiveness, I just hope you can give me a chance to make up for my mistakes and let me go with you to the battle."
Luo Ying stared at Shao Hanyue coldly, his tone indifferent but firm: "I will not give anyone who has hurt me a second chance to hurt me again. But no one is perfect. I can give you a chance to reform, but I will not believe in you again. Even so, are you still willing to stay with me?"
Shao Hanyue raised her head, with a determined light in her eyes: "I am willing! I believe that one day, my sincerity will move you and we can get back together."
Hua Yuchen held Luo Ying's hand tightly and whispered, "Don't be so soft-hearted all the time, okay? Being soft-hearted is like a knife. It will only give others the opportunity to hurt you again."
Luo Ying sighed softly without saying anything, but a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
