Chapter 945
The next day, Ye Xingguang set off for the Underwater Empire.
If it weren’t for the strict schedule of the submarines dispatched by the Underwater Empire, the only transport means to get there, he would have set off earlier. While sitting in the submarine, the first thing that came to his mind was that he must buy a submarine capable of diving 20,000 meters underwater upon his return.
Ji Qishu and Mo Fei were also accompanying him this time.
Ji Qishu, having heard from Tang Zhou about how fun the underwater world was, insisted on coming along to experience it, even if it meant rolling on the ground and acting cute.
Mo Fei was personally selected by Ye Xingguang. Mo Fei is the CEO of the mercenary group under Ye’s company, which prefers to be known as a private security company rather than mercenaries due to its corporate experience.
As the CEO of a private security company, Mo Fei commands 30,000 mercenaries, mainly handling the security for big shots and sometimes being hired by foreign governments to participate in military operations, occasionally outperforming actual armies.
Considering the current instability in the Underwater Empire’s politics, Ye Xingguang had Mo Fei select a thousand mercenaries to serve as bodyguards for the trip.
The impressive entourage followed him aboard the empire’s submarine, heading towards the mysterious empire 20,000 meters below the sea.
As the submarine was about to arrive, one could see the mysterious underwater city through the submarine’s windows, with more than a hundred military submarines and warships ready in formation – what a sight!noveldrama
At that very moment, in the Underwater Empire Queen’s office, Ye Xingguang’s face was incredibly sullen: “What did you say? My husband is here, and I’m not allowed to greet him personally? How does that make any sense?”
“Under the empire’s wedding traditions, you cannot meet your future queen before the wedding. Isn’t this custom, Xiaojiujiu, exactly what landed you your ideal man? What harm is there in not seeing him for one day?”
“Not seeing him for one day could cause me to die of longing! Don’t you know lovesickness is the hardest illness to cure in this world?”
This is utterly unreasonable! She even suspected that these ridiculous customs were made up on the spot by the interim federal government to fool people!
“I don’t care. Today, my queen will move into the palace!” exclaimed Ye Xingguang, face stern.
Geshu Tang flatly rejected her: “There has never been a precedent in the empire for a queen to enter the palace before marriage.”
“When Li Yu came to propose, didn’t you all hasten to arrange his stay in the palace, asking me to dine with him, to keep him company on outings left and right? Don’t be too obvious with your double standards!”
Why was it okay for Brother Yu but not for her beloved poison?
“The situations are different and incomparable. Until you ascend the throne, the future queen of the empire must remain outside as a bride-to-be. Considering Ye Xingguang has no property in the capital, we will arrange a special mansion for him…”
Before Geshu Tang could finish speaking, the door of the Queen’s office was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a man in a black coat strode in with a commanding presence.
Ye Xingguang, who was about to continue arguing with Geshu Tang and the other elders, suddenly had eyes that shone like infinite stars.
Uh… my beloved poison…
Ye Xingguang blinked hard to ensure she wasn’t seeing things and immediately rose from her throne, sprinting toward the disheveled man, her voice filled with unexpected joy: “Husband, how did you get here?”
Ye Xingguang wrapped an arm around her, giving her an unabashed kiss, then looked up with a cold smile at Geshu Tang: “To inform you, from this moment on, we shall be inseparable!”
