Long Miaoming is Kidnapped

When Long Miaoming entered, Luo Bai was still reading.

His eyes were fixed on the military book, as if he had not noticed anyone coming in from outside.

For a moment, Long Miaoming did not know what to do and stood there awkwardly.

“Find a place to sit.”

Luo Bai suddenly spoke.

“Ah? Oh…”

Perhaps because it was too sudden, Long Miaoming froze for two or three seconds before reacting.

She found a spot near the door and sat down.

Time passed bit by bit.

At some unknown point, dark clouds began to gather outside the door.

“It is going to rain, everyone move faster!”

Soldiers could be heard shouting loudly outside.

Sure enough, it did not take long before the rain started to fall.

People under the canopy of the sky were scurrying everywhere to seek shelter.

Luo Bai was still reading.

The commotion outside did not seem to disturb him at all.

Long Miaoming became very bored.

If she was able to maintain her restraint when she first arrived, she was gradually becoming more bold now.

Her two small legs swung back and forth.

Fortunately, there was something in this room that one would not get tired of looking at in a short time.

For some reason, Long Miaoming’s gaze fell upon the other person in the room who was still reading.

She had only seen him briefly earlier and had not had the chance to observe him.

Now that she had time, she realized that if she looked closely, Luo Bai did not actually seem that breathtaking.

But he was pleasant to look at…

For some reason, Long Miaoming’s face turned red.

Her heartbeat became strange and began to accelerate.

Luo Bai’s breathing became a bit restless.

He realized that since the rain started, this young girl had been staring at him.

He did not like the feeling of being stared at.

Therefore, Luo Bai looked up, wanting to remind Long Miaoming not to keep looking at him like that.

But the moment he looked up, his eyes involuntarily met Long Miaoming’s eyes.

Long Miaoming’s face grew even redder.

Although she was shy, she stubbornly looked up to meet his gaze.

Luo Bai felt a sense of novelty.

Normally, others did not dare to look him in the eye.

Furthermore, this girl’s parents likely died during the siege.

By now, she should understand his identity; shouldn’t she hate him?

But why was this girl neither afraid of him nor hostile toward him?

And what on earth was with this blushing?

Just then, someone suddenly burst through the door.

It was the general Luo Bai had sent out earlier to distribute grain.

“Commander Luo!”

The general shouted as soon as he entered, but then he immediately noticed something was wrong.

When did an extra girl get here?

And she was staring intensely at his boss.

However, he arrived at just the right time.

As soon as he appeared, both Luo Bai and Long Miaoming quickly lowered their heads.

Long Miaoming’s face was as red as a big red apple.

Luo Bai feigned a couple of coughs to ease his awkwardness.

“Is everything finished?”

“It is finished, Commander Luo! Let me tell you, the citizens…”

Just as the general was about to excitedly describe what he had seen, Luo Bai interrupted him.

“Alright, it has been hard on you, go and get some rest quickly.”

Luo Bai said.

“We still have to march tomorrow.”

The general opened his mouth, wanting to say he wasn’t actually tired, when he saw Luo Bai’s eyes constantly signaling him.

“Commander Luo, what is wrong with you? Why is your eye twitching?”

Luo Bai helplessly slapped his own face with his palm.

This blockhead…

In the end, he was tricked away by Luo Bai, who lied and said a pot of meat was being boiled for him in the back kitchen.

After finally waiting for the nuisance to leave, the rain outside had mostly stopped.

This solar term was like that; heavy rain came and went without any hesitation.

Luo Bai went out to check the rain, then went into the back kitchen for some unknown reason.

He left Long Miaoming alone in the room, feeling a bit awkward.

What exactly was wrong with her?

She had never been like this before.

After a short while, Luo Bai returned.

A soldier carrying something followed behind him.

“Shall we take a walk together?”

It was not the tone of a command, but rather a request.

“Oh, okay.”

Long Miaoming agreed without even thinking.

Only after she agreed did she react.

Just now, what exactly did she agree to…

Luo Bai’s gaze moved upward and saw the white cloth bundle still worn on Long Miaoming’s head.

“Why are you still wearing that?”

Luo Bai asked with some confusion, pointing to the white cloth covering her dragon horns.

Long Miaoming immediately took a wary step back and covered her head with her small hands.

Luo Bai stiffened for a moment.

Then he looked at Long Miaoming with some helplessness.

“If you want to wear it, then wear it.”

In truth, most of the reason Long Miaoming’s overall aesthetic was ruined was because of that white cloth bundle.

Otherwise, she would be much more beautiful than she was now.

The way she looked wearing the white cloth bundle was a bit… silly.

Thus, Long Miaoming and Luo Bai went out the door.

Two armored soldiers followed behind them.

Many soldiers were patrolling along the road.

When they saw Luo Bai, they all stood in place to wait for him to pass.

The military discipline was very strict.

“I still do not know your name.”

Luo Bai, walking side by side, suddenly spoke.

“Me…”

Long Miaoming hesitated for a moment.

Finally, she spoke cautiously.

“My name is Long Miaoming.”

“The surname Long?”

Luo Bai smiled.

“That surname is not common, especially in the Heavenly Dynasty.”

Long Miaoming was stunned.

She only knew that her family had been named Long for generations.

But she did not know what the situation was like among the humans.

“The Dragon is the deity that guards the five lakes, four seas, and great rivers.”

Luo Bai said.

“In the Heavenly Dynasty, humans cannot share a surname with a god; the surnames were modified before this.”

Long Miaoming blinked her eyes.

She really did not know about this matter.

“What are we going to do?”

Long Miaoming suddenly realized this did not seem like a casual stroll.

This direction seemed to be toward her home.

Could it be that her identity had already been recognized?

Long Miaoming felt nervous.

Should she take action to kill?

After all, the identity of a deity is not something that mortals should know.

But for a divine dragon like Long Miaoming, who did not even dare to look at a battlefield…

The difficulty of having her kill someone with her own hands was truly not low.

While Long Miaoming’s small head was spinning rapidly to think of a plan, Luo Bai answered her question.

“We are going to offer a sacrifice to the god of the river here.”

Luo Bai’s words left Long Miaoming stunned.

“Sacrifice?”

Long Miaoming instinctively looked into the cloth bundle held by the armored soldier behind them.

A faint golden light condensed in her eyes.

This… a pig’s head?

Long Miaoming breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed her information had not been leaked.
