The Last Queen of Peacelava

CHAPTER 69

"Auntie, what's Aunt doing here? Why did Aunt pull my hand? I'd like to catch up with Lu Xiang's mother and uncle."

"St! Lower your voice, Lian! Why are you so chatty like this?"

"I'm not chatty. I just wanted to catch up with Mother and Uncle Lu Xiang, but Auntie instead pulled me here."

"Lian, didn't you see how happy your mother was when she was with Lu Xiang? Don't you see that Lu Xiang also looks happy when he's with your mother?"

"Auntie's right. I've never seen a mother this happy before."

"Then, do you want to make your mother's happiness last only a moment?"

"No, Auntie. I want my mother to be happy always. But why was Mom so happy when she was with uncle Lu Xiang? Whereas when Mother with uncle Ji Nian, Mother looks ordinary."

"That's what love is, Lian."

"Love?"

"Love is a feeling that makes you feel very happy. When you're happy with someone and inside you want to make that person happy, that means you love him."

"Auntie, I always feel very happy when I'm with Mom and I also want to make Mom feel very happy when I'm with me. Does that mean I have love for my mother?"

"Of course, Lian. Whoever has love in his heart, that person will always be happy."

"Auntie, does Aunt love someone?"

"Everything that Aunt loves has left Auntie."

"Is she your mother?"

"My mother, my father, brother and sister. They all left me."

"Auntie, Mother once told me that Mother strongly believes in the bond of love. Mother always waits and hopes her lover will come back to see her. Mother misses her lover so much."

"Lian, true love is true. If the heavens have written someone down in your Mother's destiny, that person will surely come and make your Mother happy."

"I'm so curious why every time Miss Xin Qian looks at master Lu Xiang, I feel like if she likes him" Yu Fei said.

"Lian, you better go back to sleep. It's midnight."

"All right, Auntie."

*******

In the morning, Ji Nian went over to Lu Xiang and beat him up.

"What are you doing? Why did you come and hit me?" ask Lu Xiang.

"Don't pretend to be such a fool! I know exactly what you're planning" Ji Nian replied.

"What do you mean talk like that?"

"I know if you actually just want to use Her Majesty the Queen so you can take the gemstone from Lian's body, right?"

"Listen, Ji Nian. I can't do something like that."

"Of course it's possible. Everyone did not know that the gemstone was inside Lian's body. If they all knew, they would definitely look for Lian and Her Majesty the Queen to obtain the gemstone."

"But I have no such intention, even though I know that the gemstone is inside Lian's body. Nor have I ever used the feelings of Her Majesty the Queen for my own benefit."

"A half-stealthy man always lies. But this time I won't believe you!"

Ji Nian left Lu Xiang at the place. But suddenly Lu Xiang looked very angry because he did not accept Ji Nian's words to him.

Lu Xiang then flew over and confronted Ji Nian.

"What else do you want?" ask Ji Nian.

"I can't take it if you accuse me of that!" reply Lu Xiang.

The two of them then fought at the venue. Until quite a long time the fight happened, because no one there who broke them.

Then Yu Fei came and tried to stop the fight.

"Master, what are you doing? Stop that fight!" his yell.

None of them listened to Yu Fei. Until finally Xin Qian came and attacked the two of them.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Your Majesty, he approached you because he just wanted to use you."

"What do you mean, Ji Nian?"

"He was actually aiming for the gemstone that was inside Lian's body. And he's trying to get your heart so he can use you, Your Majesty."

"That's not true! I never thought of it that way!"

"Ji Nian, Lu Xiang can't be like that."

"Your Majesty, I understand very well why you have always defended her since the first time we met her. It was because his face was very similar to Zhang Pei, right?"

"Ji Nian, please. Don't discuss this issue again, I don't want-"

Xin Qian's words immediately stopped as she heard a shouting voice from Lian who was calling her name.

"Mother!!"

"Lian?"

Xin Qian directly ran over from the place and went towards the source of Lian's voice. Lu Xiang, Ji Nian and Yu Fei followed Xin Qian.

"Lian, where are you? Ian!"

Some of the animals that were there directly approached Xin Qian.

"Xin Qian, Lian has been kidnapped by a demon. We can't help her."

"Lian ...."

"I'm sorry, Xin Qian. I can't protect Lian."

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Ji Nian, Lian was kidnapped by a demon. And he just yelled at me."

"That means they've broken through the protective magic I've created."

"I have to go find Lian."

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Xiang flew straight to Xin Qian and prevented him from looking for Lian.

"I won't let you leave this place!"

"Lu Xiang, you can't stop me from going to find my Son."

"No, Xin Qian. I will keep you from leaving this place."

"Lu Xiang, I now think that what Ji Nian said is true. You were looking for a gemstone in my son's body."

"No, you've misunderstood. I just don't want those demons to catch you either."

"Whatever happens I'll keep looking for Lian."

Lu Xiang then pulled the hand of Xin Qian who had already stepped away leaving him.

"I won't let you go alone. I'll go with you."

Yu Fei and Ji Nian then came and saw Xin Qian as well as Lu Xiang had left from that place.

"I'm pretty sure it was him who let the demons in and kidnapped Lian."

"Master Lu Xiang couldn't possibly do that. Why do you always corner him?"

"I never cornered him. I'm just telling you the truth."

"Are you jealous to see Miss Xin Qian close to master Lu Xiang?"

"Why don't you be honest with me if you're jealous to see Miss Xin Qian close to master Lu Xiang?"

"Look! Me and Her Majesty the Queen grew up together since we were kids. So it's obvious I'm jealous to see Her Majesty the Queen close to another man."
