.Once upon a time, Xiao Yanming also fantasized that he could one day be able to hold the beauty back, but with Claya's words, Xiao Yanming's fantasy was shattered and was smashed to pieces.

"What, when did it happen?" Xiao Yanming asked with some difficulty in speaking.

"Haha...it's not long."

"...The child's father is..." Xiao Yanming asked again.

"The Emperor of Fengyang."

"..." Xiao Yanming didn't say anything else, he couldn't compare. No matter which aspect he compared, he couldn't compare with others. However, Xiao Yanming was unwilling to give up, and he was very unwilling to give up.

"Is he forced you?" Xiao Yanming asked with hope.

"Hate, am I the kind of woman who can easily submit?" Claya said in dissatisfaction.

Xiao Yanming laughed dryly, looked at Claya and said, "...General, you can take your child back to the real demon. I promise, no one will care about the child's identity."

Claya frowned and looked at Xiao Yanming. At this point, Claya already understood what Xiao Yanming meant. But no matter how clear he understood, Claya was still a little angry, "Brother Xiao, what do you mean by saying this?"

"Don't you understand what I mean?" Xiao Yanming reached out to grab Claya's hand a little.

"Bang"

Claya withdrew her hand and said coldly: "Brother Xiao, I didn't expect you to become like this now. It seems that there is no need to meet today. You can leave."

Xiao Yanming looked at Claya blankly and murmured, "You are mine." Claya frowned when she heard this, and reached out to the true demon soldiers behind Xiao Yanming to come over and take Xiao Yanming away.

"You are mine," Xiao Yanming suddenly stood up and yelled. Tian Rong in the distance waved her hand as soon as she saw it, and the guards on the side quickly stepped forward to protect Claya. Xiao Yanming's men were also led by Gao Baolong to Xiao Yanming's side.

"Sir, let's go." Gao Baolong pulled Xiao Yanming's hand and said.

"No, she is mine." Xiao Yanming shook Gao Baolong's pull, and with a bang, he pulled out the sword on his waist. Tian Rong immediately ordered: "Protect the Lord"

Dozens of crossbows aimed at Xiao Yanming at the same time. As long as Xiao Yanming dared to move rashly, he would definitely become a hedgehog. The atmosphere between the two sides was very tense, and it was already at the point of being about to break out.

"Oh~ Xiao Yanming, why are you doing this?" Claya sighed softly.

"I'm not willing to accept it. I was the first person to know you, why did you not belong to me in the end?" Xiao Yanming shouted unwillingly.

"It's hard to do something like love. From the beginning to the end, I just treat you as my friend and have never thought about it in that way. Please think about it more."

"No, I'm not willing to give up. If I can't get your heart, then I'll get your people."

“…You are simply unreasonable.”

"Yes, I have been there since you left me under house arrest..." Before Xiao Yanming finished speaking, the back of his head was attacked by Gao Baolong behind him. Xiao Yanming rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Sorry, I'm making you laugh." Gao Baolong raised Xiao Yanming on his back and said to Claya and others.

"Forget it, you guys go." Claya ordered Tian Rong and others to put away the crossbow.

"The war will start tomorrow, and the outcome will be decided on the battlefield at that time." Gao Baolong said in a deep voice.

"Okay, see you on the battlefield."

On the way back, Claya looked at the direction of the real demon navy and sighed softly. Tian Rong saw it on the side and asked strangely: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you sighing?"

"After I was under house arrest, the generals who once loyal to me either betrayed or killed. Now Xiao Yanming has become enemies with me. The connection between me and the real demon can be said to be getting weaker and weaker."

"... Speaking of which, is Xiao Yanming sick, sister? You have already told him that you are married and even have children, how can you say that?"

"He wasn't that before."

"You know people, but not your heart. Sister, you have heard it yourself, and you actually said that you can't get your heart, and the person who gets you can do this. I feel that person is not a good person."

"No matter what, he is my partner who used to fight side by side..."

"Sister, you must not be rude at this time. Think about it, what you might encounter if you are defeated and captured in battle." Tian Rong said anxiously when she heard this.

"It probably won't..." Claya said uncertainly. If it were the past, Claya could pat her chest and say that Xiao Yanming is fine, but now, Claya herself cannot guarantee it.

"Sister, it's not a question of whether we can win this war, but a question of whether we can win this war. Sister, you must not hesitate at this time. You must know that Feng Yang's 300,000 navy lives are all in your hands."

"...I know. I'm a little tired, so I'll take a break first and call me when I arrive."

After hearing Claya's words, Tian Rong also knew that she needed to give Claya time, so she nodded to do other things.

On the flagship of the true demon naval admiral Xiao Yanming, Xiao Yanming stared at Gao Baolong with his eyes wide open. Gao Baolong looked back at Xiao Yanming without being humble or arrogant.

"Why did you knock me out?" Xiao Yanming asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, at that time, in that situation, besides knocking the adult out, my subordinates really don't know how to use how to bring the adult back safely." Gao Baolong replied calmly.

"Then you don't need to put such a black hand, right? My head still hurts now." Xiao Yanming said helplessly.

"...Sorry, I don't have a good grasp of the strength in the first time I did this kind of thing. I'll be fine if I do it a few more times in the future."

"And there is a future?"

The two of them stared at each other with big eyes, and Xiao Yanming said dejectedly: "Oh, yes, you are amazing. You are so angry with you that you are completely unable to get along with yourself."

"Sir... that woman is so unforgettable to you?" Gao Baolong asked suddenly.

"...You don't understand." Xiao Yanming shook his head slightly and said.

"If the adult likes it, my subordinates promise to snatch that woman from the adult in tomorrow's battle. I just don't know if the adult has the courage to attack that woman."

"Hmph, joke. As a naval admiral, I am a high-ranking and powerful person. What do I dare not?"

"...Sir, don't be stubborn. You should understand that your thoughts cannot be hidden from me." Gao Baolong shook his head and said to Xiao Yanming.

Xiao Yanming froze when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Damn it, I forgot that we can come back now was only achieved by your special ability. Gao Baolong, do you really not remember what happened to you before?"

"I don't remember." Gao Baolong shook his head and said.

"It's really strange. How could a person like you be abandoned on a deserted island? I still remember when we first met, you were wearing clothes similar to ordinary people and speaking the same language as ordinary people. Why didn't you remember your past?" Xiao Yanming looked at Gao Baolong and said in confusion.

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because of my special ability. After all, there are only a few people like adults who don't care about their own thoughts being seen through by others. After all, everyone has their own secrets that they don't want others to know. And there is no secret in front of me."

"How much did you hear Claya's thoughts in her mind when she met?"

“…really want to say it?”

"No, if you don't say anything, why would I take you there? Tell me quickly."

"Oh. Then don't be sad when you hear it. At the beginning, that Claya was very happy to meet you, a friend who hadn't seen for a long time. Then because of your nonsense..."

"I didn't talk nonsense, I'm talking about the truth." Xiao Yanming corrected.

"Okay, the truth. But I want to tell you regretfully that what Claya said is all the truth. In other words, she has always regarded you as her brother. In other words, you are purely self-indulgent."

"...Do you need to be so straightforward?" Xiao Yanming said with a confused look at Gao Baolong.

"It was you who asked me to say it, I'm just telling a fact."

"Did she feel no turbulent when she heard me say she likes her?" Xiao Yanming asked unwillingly.

"...Sorry, I can't lie to you against my conscience." Gao Baolong replied after a moment of silence.

"Damn, can't you just peek at my thoughts and lie to me?" Xiao Yanming couldn't help but curse.

"I am an honest person." Gao Baolong replied seriously.

Xiao Yanming couldn't help but raise his middle finger at Gao Baolong: "Damn..."

The two of them had a fuss, and Gao Baolong asked Xiao Yanming: "Can you fight against that Claya tomorrow? She is half of your teacher."

"Don't worry, I know what to do? I have a clear distinction between public and private affairs. And I am planning to steal her back to the real demon. If I don't win, how can I steal her?" Xiao Yanming replied casually.

"...Don't be too confident. Although you asked me to listen specifically to the words of Claya, in fact, when I was free, I also listened to the words of the people who followed Claya. One of them surprised me."

"What's the matter?"

"She was thinking about something in her mind, saying that it was almost time, and it was time for Feng Yangjun to take action."

"... I will write a letter to His Majesty immediately, asking him to pay attention to the situation of the Iron Lun Kingdom where Yang Qianli was stationed. This time, he drew a lot of elite troops from Yang Qianli. If Feng Yang really had a hidden hand in the Iron Lun, I was worried that Yang Qianli would not be able to support it, which would affect my true demon's attack this time."

"Wait first, what are you going to write? Just write because I heard the voice of a Feng Yang Army officer, so please pay attention to the dynamics in the north. You said yourself, if you put it aside, do you believe it?" Gao Baolong stopped Xiao Yanming and asked.

"Oh... I can't help but say it. If something really happened to Yang Qianli..."

"That's Yang Qianli's problem, His Majesty the Emperor's problem, it has nothing to do with you, Xiao Yanming. Your mission is to destroy Feng Yang's Navy, and the rest are secondary to you."

"... Baolong, I know you have a grudge with Yang Qianli, but public is public, private is private. Besides, you were beaten by Yang Qianli's orders because you made mistakes first. Why do you have to be upset until now? You must know that Yang Qianli is also a royal relative. If you are forced to do anything, you will suffer the consequences in the end?"

"I am not as vindictive as you think. I say this entirely for you. You don't think about it yourself. Although you are now the admiral of the navy, don't forget how the four words "The Great Master of Merit" are written. As the admiral of the navy, what are you doing so intimately with a frontier general? Do you want to unite others to undermine Your Majesty?"

"Talking about it, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Yanming said with a glaring look.

"Yes, I'm nonsense. But if you write this suggestion and are known by some people who are interested, it's not nonsense. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he won't listen to those people easily, but he will have a knot in his heart. If you are not careful then, it's very likely that you, the navy admiral, will get off work."

After hearing Gao Baolong's words, Xiao Yanming was silent. He knew in his heart that many people in the empire actually did not agree with being the naval admiral, and just waited for him to make mistakes and then put down the wrongs. Fortunately, when he was in Jin Luo, he always reminded himself to be cautious and not to be caught. But since he led his troops to sea, his vigilance seemed to be relaxed. Fortunately, Gao Baolong also had a reminder.

"Thank you for your reminder." Xiao Yanming bowed to Gao Baolong and said.

"You're welcome, let's discuss how to fight tomorrow's battle."

The next morning, there was no wind or clouds, which was a good weather for war.

Feng Yang's Navy Admiral Clay's flagship slowly started. After a night of consideration, Clay finally made up his mind to win the war first and then talk about something else. As for Xiao Yanming, he would release him if he was arrested, and he would blame himself for his bad life if he died.

"Sister, everything is ready. Everyone is waiting for your order." Tian Rong whispered to remind Claya, who was a little confused about things.

"Ah, I understand. Everyone, let's go. According to the agreement yesterday, let the True Demon Army on the opposite side know that from today onwards, the Feng Yang Navy will have the final say in this sea from now on."
