Ye Feng found it hard to speak when faced with Shen Mengli's smiling eyes and teasing tone, but seeing her hands instinctively wrap around his arm, he could only sigh and give in.
"Alright, alright! I'll tell you, just don't look at me like you're going to eat me alive."
"Hehe, it's better for Little Feng to be honest, otherwise I'll pester you to death~"
Shen Mengli blinked playfully. Ye Feng's submission made her drop the idea of teasing him further.
After that, Ye Feng suddenly took hold of Shen Mengli's small hand. She became much more docile, allowing him to lead her to the sofa in the living room and sit down.
Shen Mengli didn't ask what was wrong. Instead, she stared intently at him with her bright, expressive eyes. The gentle smile on her face seemed to be telling him not to be so nervous.
"Mengli, what I'm about to say is related to the system. I don't fully understand it yet myself; I just got the news."
Hearing the word "system," the smile on Shen Mengli's face instantly froze. Before Ye Feng could continue, she placed a finger against his lips and asked cautiously, "Is it good news or bad news?"
"I suppose... it's good news."
"Then go ahead and tell me, Little Feng. As long as it's not bad news."
Hearing this, a heavy stone seemed to lift from Shen Mengli's heart. She relaxed and leaned against Ye Feng's shoulder. Her gaze inadvertently swept over the shadows in the hallway, catching a glimpse of a dark figure quickly retreating into the depths.
"It's just that... I've completed all the missions, and the compendium is fully unlocked. The system said something about issuing a final reward, but I haven't had the chance to check it yet."
"A final reward? You completed all the missions?"
Shen Mengli repeated his key points word by word, her vibrant eyes darting around before she quickly looked up at him.
"Then check it right now, Little Feng! It might be a great outcome!"
Her anticipation made Ye Feng's heart race as well. He immediately summoned the system panel in his mind. When he opened the reward he had received, he froze on the sofa, as if he had been struck by a paralyzing spell.
After a long while, Shen Mengli noticed something was wrong. Just as she was about to ask him how he was doing, Ye Feng suddenly reached out in excitement and tightly grabbed her wrist.
"Meng... Mengli! It's... it's over, it's all over!"
"What are you saying, Little Feng? What is over?"
Shen Mengli didn't understand why he had become so excited, but judging from his reaction, it had to be incredibly good news.
"Do you remember what I told you before about the life time?"
"Yes."
Ye Feng choked up suddenly. He took a long, deep breath before trembling as he spoke, "The reward this time is different from usual. This time, the reward is forever..."
"Forever! So that means..."
Shen Mengli covered her small mouth in shock, looking at him with disbelief. But the expression of absolute relief on Ye Feng's face proved that everything he said was true.
"Is it... is it finally over? That's wonderful, Little Feng, that's truly wonderful."
Deeply moved by Ye Feng's liberation, Shen Mengli threw her arms around him, burying herself in his embrace. She wept softly, crying tears of joy for him.
"Yeah, it's finally over..."
Ye Feng gently hugged her waist and sighed with emotion. When he discovered that the system's mission reward this time was permanent life time, he had been in a daze himself. Only after accepting this reality did he slowly return to normal.
"Everything... is over."
Ye Feng slowly closed his eyes. Memories of his arrival here and everything that had happened since flashed through his mind. Back then, he had been forced to do things he didn't want to do just to survive. Today, it was finally all over.
"This is great, Little Feng. Now we can finally live a carefree life. Isn't that right, Sister Yuyan?"
"Yuyan?"
Hearing Shen Mengli's words, Ye Feng quickly opened his eyes. Following her gaze toward the hallway, he indeed saw a shadow gradually stepping out from the darkness.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just wanted to..."
Xie Yuyan pursed her lips, not quite daring to meet Ye Feng's eyes, terrified that he would despise her for eavesdropping.
"It's fine. Little Feng and I weren't whispering secrets anyway, and everyone would have found out about this sooner or later."
"Um... then if there's nothing else..."
"Yuyan."
Ye Feng called out to stop Xie Yuyan, who was trying to escape. After seeing her delicate body tremble slightly, he continued.
"Do you want to come sit with us?"
"..."
"Okay."
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
