Chapter 495 Ending The Chapters of The Past [2]
A female guard clad in black clothing knelt in front of Noah while she read through the scroll in her hands. A couple of days ago, she was tasked by her esteemed emperor to keep an eye on a man and monitor his every move.
Being a professional in her work, she accepted the task without any questions and made a report on Long Xiang's every move. What he did after he woke up, what he wore, what he ate, the people he interacted with, the women he flirted with, the place he slept—everything was detailed in the scroll she held.@@@@
Even after doing her best not to poke her nose in the matter, she couldn't help but wonder, 'Just who is this man that could make the emperor move us to keep an eye on someone for him?' Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
"During these past few days, the target has mostly been moving around the city lord's mansion. He rarely left the house. During this time, his cultivation has made a huge advancement."
"Do you know the reason?" Noah asked calmly. He did not want someone he liked to keep an eye on another man all the time, so he decided to trust the report made by Wuhan's people.
Without any change in her indifferent voice, the woman replied, "We sensed several traces of demonic energy. Although he used some artifact to hide the energy, we had our own reason to be suspicious because of the sudden changes in his behavior and emotions."
Noah nodded in understanding. Some demon techniques were like that; they could amplify a person's emotions several times over.
"But we still found it odd that even though his cultivation increased, there were no traces of anyone from demonic sects. So we still cannot be sure about it."
Her next words made Noah narrow his eyes. If someone cultivated a demonic technique, they would either need a huge supply of sacrifices as an equivalent exchange for the technique.
Hearing his words, the woman bowed before disappearing from the room. Not long after she left, a person walked out from the shadows of the room.
"Are you thinking that he would collude with someone to use some kind of underhanded technique to win against you?" Hearing the curious tone of the melodic voice, Noah chuckled. Placing the teacup on the table beside his chair, he looked at the person who spoke.
Dressed in unusually enchanting phoenix-light orange robes, the woman walked towards him. Her long blue hair was tied in a loose braid that rested on her shoulder, and the air around her moved with each sway of her graceful figure.
"You look even more beautiful in that dress." Noah took a deep look at Xin Yan's figure from her toes to her head before commenting.
Seeing the earnest look in his eyes, Xin Yan felt her whole world shining with all kinds of warm colors.
"Today, I am finally going to close a chapter of my past. Even though I do not like that I did such things and had to go through those moments, I do not regret any of it." With her words, Xin Yan's eyes shone with deeper affection. Walking closer to Noah, she sat on his lap and leaned into his chest, embracing the warmth.
"After all, those were the series of things that led me to obtain the two most beautiful things in my life."
"This dress and appearance, it's my declaration of a new start. My soul, my heart, and everything else will be yours as a new chapter of our lives starts together." Xin Yan's voice turned a little hollow as she clenched Noah's robes with her hands.
Noah did not know why, but he felt that among the warm feelings flowing from the woman in his arms, there was a hint of darkness that fueled that warmth—darkness that was both eerie and addictive at the same time.
'Ah~ my heart cannot stop thumping.' Noah couldn't stop himself. He raised Xin Yan's chin with his hand and took her lips. His eyes reflected the same darkness radiating from Xin Yan's eyes. Neither dared to look away from each other as time lost its meaning for them.
