Chapter 90 Reason Reclaims the High Ground!

The night wind swept across the wilderness of Tianma Territory, passing over the dense reeds by the lake, carrying away a certain indescribable, decadent scent.

Amber's stunningly voluptuous profile trembled slightly with her breath. She gently patted Chu Sheng's back with one hand, while slowly wiping her rosy, slightly swollen lips with the other.

Her expression remained as dignified and noble as ever, as if her lowering of her noble head to patiently soothe and comfort her was nothing more than a natural thing to do.

"Isn't this more comfortable than using your hands?" she asked softly, her eyes filled with affection for her child.

Chu Sheng swallowed hard, looking at Amber's inviolable and beautiful face: "Your Majesty—do you know what you were doing just now—just now?"

This ancient royal family member, who held an extremely high position on the continent and was revered by countless beings, was actually willing to abandon all his reserve and pride and serve him in this most humble way.

Amber Heard his fear and smiled slightly: "I know what I'm doing."

She pressed Chu Sheng's head into her chest: "I'm willing to do this, don't you like it?"

Amber had one arm around his back and the other hand gently stroking his hair, her movements slow and gentle, as if she were comforting a child who had just had a nightmare.

"You are the one I've chosen." She lowered her head, her chin gently resting on the top of Chu Sheng's head. "As long as you're happy, I'm willing to do even more outrageous things. Don't feel burdened; you just need to accept me."

Chu Sheng nestled in that soft, maternal glow, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, greedily absorbing her essence.

He suddenly felt that if he ever let this woman down, he might as well just be struck dead by lightning.

"Your Majesty, I like it when you're like this. You're so good to me." Chu Sheng's muffled voice came from her embrace, his hands honestly encircling her slender and soft waist.

The two lingered tenderly within the small screen of green leaves for a long time, until he remembered something more important and reluctantly lifted his head from that gentle embrace.

Reason has regained the upper hand!

"Your Majesty," Chu Sheng's expression turned serious, "I just saw a rune and a figure deep inside that black rock."

Amber's golden eyes flickered slightly: "Runes? What kind of runes?"

"It looked like an eye." Chu Sheng felt a chill run down his spine. "That eye was alive. I saw it open, and I could hear a woman's voice coming from the runes—she called me 'Hero.'"

"It seems we were set up from the very beginning." Amber paused for a moment, then analyzed the situation clearly, "From the tampered railings in the stable to this trap at the bottom of the lake, their purpose is very clear."

"Testing whether I am truly a 'Hero'?" Chu Sheng frowned deeply.

"Yes." Amber nodded. "If they want to kill us, the best option is to strike while we're resting, or launch a devastating attack underwater."

"But she deliberately left clues to lead you to the bottom of the lake, and even buried runes under the fake sword. She probably wanted to see for herself whether you had the ability to pull out the Hero's Sword, and that fake sword might have some kind of quality that the Hero's Sword has."

"I didn't want to be this popular." Chu Sheng sighed, punching the grass in frustration. "If only I were stronger."

It was only when he was with Amber that Chu Sheng would show such a childlike side.

Seeing his frustrated expression, Amber reached out and cupped Chu Sheng's cheeks, forcing him to look directly into her eyes.

"Don't be so hard on yourself," she said gently, her thumb lightly stroking Chu Sheng's cheek. "You've only just entered the first tier, and to escape unscathed and even destroy her runes is already an outstanding achievement."

She said earnestly, "The important thing is that she now knows your identity as a [Hero], and we also know of her existence. The transformation from hunter to prey often happens in the blink of an eye."

As Chu Sheng looked into her beautiful eyes, the irritation in his heart gradually dissipated.

Having such an experienced woman by your side, who also dotes on you without reservation, is indeed a reassuring thing.

"You're right." Chu Sheng smiled and took Amber's hands in his own. "At worst, we'll run faster and see if she dares to cause any more trouble once we get to the center of the Empire."

Amber smiled slightly and stood up gracefully.

Her movements as she rose still exuded an innate nobility as she looked down at Chu Sheng and extended a hand to him.

"Let's go," she said softly. "We've been here too long."

Chu Sheng looked at that fair, jade-like hand, grasped it, and used it to stand up.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Ambermind's leaf barrier that had enveloped the two of them withered and vanished, turning into specks of firefly light that merged into the soil by the lake.

A dazzling golden streak sliced ​​straight through the night sky.

Arthur Brunhilde Beowulf, one of the Empire's most promising knights, is currently speeding wildly through the night sky of Pegasus Territory, violating the Imperial Knights' regulations.

The cold wind high in the sky couldn't dispel the burning sensation in her ears. Her azure eyes were fixed on the dim light of the post station, and her silver teeth bit a mark on her lower lip.

In my mind, the events that had just occurred by the lake replayed over and over again.

Chu Sheng lay naked on the grass, his thin body exposed.

Amber's dignified and stunningly beautiful face and her startling words of advice.

And that damn green leaf!

"Shameless! Utterly shameless!" Arthur's ahoge (cowlick) danced wildly in the wind.

She was the one who jumped into the water first and rescued him! She was the one who abandoned her knightly pride and transferred holy light and air to Chu Sheng mouth-to-mouth!

"I am his contracted knight!" Arthur sped up again.

"boom!"

The golden light crashed into the backyard of the imperial post station like a meteorite.

She trampled two spiderweb-like cracks into the ground, startling several winged horses that were dozing in the stable. They snorted uneasily and retreated in fear.

Arthur took a deep breath, calming the surging holy light within him and trying to make his breathing steady.

Although the ambush by the lake has been temporarily resolved, the safety of the post station cannot be guaranteed.

Arthur strode across the backyard of the inn, pushed open the back door, and hurried up the stairs.

"Knock knock knock!"

She stood in front of the guest room door in the middle of the second floor: "Open the door. It's me."

The room, which had been quiet, erupted into chaos the moment the knocking sounded.

"Clang!" It sounded like a chair had fallen over.

"Hide it quickly! Stuff it under the bed! Don't let her see it!" This was Yinye's whisper.

"It won't fit! The bone is too big and it's stuck!" That was Ella's voice, trembling with tears.

"You glutton! Why did you stuff the leftover bones under my pillow?!"

"Squeak!" That was the sound of something being torn apart.

Arthur remained silent, veins bulging on his forehead.
