Free Web NovelChapter 27: In the Quiet Night...
"In the quiet night, a curtain of dreams, and the gentle feelings within ten miles of spring breeze," Diaochan muttered to herself.
After helping Long Chen prepare his room, she chatted with him for a while before leaving.
When she was about to leave, Long Chen even gave her a poem, making her couldn’t help but feel delighted.
She didn’t expect that Long Chen could compose poems, and the poem he recited was so fitting for the night’s scene.
"Ten miles of spring breeze~"
Diaochan’s pretty face blushed slightly, and she couldn’t help but have wild thoughts in her mind.
.....
The moonlight was enchanting.
Long Chen stepped out of his room and couldn’t help but think about Diaochan. His heart was drawn to her.
It was late at night, and he couldn’t sleep, so he decided to go outside and get some fresh air.
By the long pavilion, Long Chen saw a figure in white standing in the breeze.
The moonlight and the white dress complemented each other, as if the moon goddess had descended to the mortal world.
Long Chen approached.
To his surprise, it was Diaochan, leaning on the railing and looking at the moon.
"Miss Diaochan, what are you doing here?" Long Chen asked.
"Oh my!"
Diaochan was startled, as if her secrets had been discovered, and her cheeks turned rosy.
Her heart was in turmoil, and she was somewhat flustered as she quickly turned away.
"Sir, how...how did you come here?"
Seeing the one he cherished, Long Chen’s emotions surged like a river, endlessly flowing.
Diaochan truly had this kind of charm, just a brief encounter and chat, and she had already occupied a place in his heart. No wonder Lü Bu, the most formidable warrior in the Three Kingdoms, wanted to marry her after seeing Diaochan at the banquet.
"I...I couldn’t sleep tonight..." Long Chen said.
His voice was gentle and friendly, fitting for a modern-day charming young man.
The two chatted for a long time in the moonlight, where the emotions in their hearts were especially sensitive and vulnerable during the night.
As a result, their conversation tonight led to them embracing each other.
Feeling the softness and elasticity of each other’s chests and the presence of the beloved person, Long Chen’s heart was especially content.
Unconsciously, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and it was already around four or five in the morning.
Unexpectedly, these two infatuated individuals had spent the whole night like this. The night was cold, but with Long Chen’s warm and comforting presence, Diaochan felt her heart growing warmer.
Ever since she was adopted by Wang Yun as his daughter, she never had to worry about food and clothing. However, her emotions were sensitive, and she always felt inferior to others.
From a young age, she had a strong sense of self-doubt, which lingered in her heart.
Although Wang Yun treated her as his adopted daughter, whenever there were distinguished guests at home, he would ask her to come out and dance.
Deep down, she could feel that Wang Yun did not truly treat her as his daughter...
Tonight’s conversation with Long Chen gave her a different feeling. It was a feeling of equality.
Long Chen respected her wishes and didn’t make any inappropriate advances.
In the past, when there were guests at home, they would always look at her with lustful eyes, and some even suggested that she should serve them in a more intimate way.
Fortunately, Wang Yun didn’t agree, or she might have lost her virginity.
The conversation with Diaochan made Long Chen gain a deeper understanding of her difficult life and sensitive nature.
His desire to protect her grew stronger. In the end, they couldn’t help but embrace each other...
However, they didn’t know that at this moment, Wang Yun, who appeared to be drunk in his room, had a gleam in his cloudy old eyes.
"Sir, Miss Diaochan and Lord Long..."
A servant knelt on the ground and spoke.
"I know. You may leave..." Wang Yun waved his hand.
"I take my leave, my lord!"
Wang Yun’s eyes sparkled, and he thought to himself, "They say heroes face difficulties for the sake of beautiful women. This is indeed true! Letting Diaochan marry a hero like Long Chen isn’t a bad deal."
"Besides, that girl Diaochan is already quite interested in Long Chen! Haha..."
.....
"Sir, the day is already bright. Let’s go back to our rooms quickly! Otherwise, if my foster father sees us..."
Diaochan hesitated, raising her sleeve to partially cover her face.
"All right, don’t worry, Miss Diaochan..."
"Mmm," Diaochan softly responded.
Her voice was like a whisper. Just as she was about to leave, Long Chen held her delicate hand. His palm was warm and smooth, and once he touched it, he didn’t want to let go.
"Long Lang, what’s wrong?" Diaochan exhaled softly from her red lips.
"Spring moonlight is so affectionate, yet it only shines on the falling flowers of a departing lover," Long Chen said solemnly, looking into Diaochan’s beautiful eyes, word by word.
This verse was spoken by the great poet Zhang Bi, meaning that only the spring moon in the sky is truly affectionate, shining on the courtyard’s falling flowers for a departing lover.
In this moment and this scene, this verse was a perfect fit.
It brought a glimmer of teardrops to Diaochan’s eyes, and she softly said, "Long Lang, Diaochan, Diaochan is willing to be with you forever."
With that, she left like a fairy.
The two of them confessed their feelings for each other, and it was an extraordinary moment.
As the saying goes, heroes love beautiful women, and beautiful women love heroes.
After that, Long Chen bid farewell to Wang Yun.
Before leaving, Long Chen hesitated for a moment and then respectfully said, "Lord Governor, I have one last request, and I hope you can agree." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Jue Ming, you can speak freely. We are not strangers!" Wang Yun said with a smile.
"I wish to marry your adopted daughter, Miss Diaochan," Long Chen said with a bow.
If he wanted to marry Diaochan, the only obstacle was Wang Yun. Now that he had fallen in love with Diaochan, as long as he got Wang Yun’s approval, he could marry her!
Wang Yun’s eyes sparkled. He had already considered this, but before he could say anything, Long Chen mentioned it.
Seeing Wang Yun hesitate, Long Chen’s heart sank, but he didn’t get angry. Whether Wang Yun agreed or not, he was determined to marry Diaochan.
Wang Yun smiled and said, "Jue Ming, your words align with what I have in mind! If Diaochan can marry you, it will be her good fortune!"
"Moreover, I’ve observed that you are no ordinary person during these days. Once you seize an opportunity, you will soar like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Your future is bound to be extraordinary!"
Wang Yun praised him.
After a pause, he said with a serious expression, "If you marry Diaochan, I will feel at ease. In the future, she will have someone to rely on."
.....
A few days later.
Inside Long Chen’s residence.
A festive atmosphere filled the air, and red lanterns hung high from the eaves.
After the wedding banquet, the guests gradually dispersed.
In the bridal chamber, Long Chen, dressed in red, gazed lovingly at Diaochan, who was also wearing red, on the wedding bed.
.....
"Please be gentle, sir," Diaochan’s beautiful eyes trembled, and her eyelashes quivered slightly.
Experiencing this for the first time, she felt a mixture of fear and anticipation in her heart...
This night was destined to be a sleepless one, and Long Chen had never been as gentle as he was tonight...
The speed at which they completed their wedding would be considered a quick marriage in the modern world, but in the game "Grand Lord," such matters were quite common.
Many players came to this game to visit the brothels and take concubines.
To experience ancient customs...
The next day, Long Chen, as usual, woke up early to practice and exercise. He performed a set of Baguazhang.
After marrying Diaochan, Long Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that he could view Diaochan’s attribute panel.
[Name]: Diaochan

.....
"Damn! My wife is more overpowered than me!"
Long Chen suddenly felt a sense of oppression. However, it’s fortunate that Diaochan is a Songstress, primarily providing support effects. If she were a Strategist, Wang Yun probably wouldn’t have agreed to their marriage.
Isn’t it better to have her support for himself?
But the overall effects of a Five-Star Songstress are practically on par with those exceptional warriors or strategists with outstanding attack power.
Terrifying Songstresses can even single-handedly disrupt the world, making the entire realm dance to their tune!
In the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Diaochan played this role. Although the Linked Stratagems are profound, the key to their success is the woman who executes the plan.
Diaochan, with her peerless beauty, captivated two warlords, and it’s likely that, according to the original storyline, she would have mastered her SS-level Charm Technique to the highest level.
Fortunately, Long Chen met Wang Yun early and, even more importantly, met Diaochan early...
Otherwise, he dared not imagine what would have happened. Long Chen could never tolerate the way Dong Zhuo treated Diaochan. Thankfully, none of that ever occurred!
Dong Zhuo’s image, as presented by the residents of Liangzhou on the forum, was a middle-aged man who was fat, ugly, and grotesque, with a big belly...
Besides, Long Chen found it quite remarkable that Diaochan’s vitality was actually much higher than his, which explained why he felt utterly drained after last night.
This time, he had truly hit the jackpot!
Long Chen hurriedly returned to the room and once again embraced the soft Diaochan, showering her with kisses.
"What’s going on? Why are you treating me like this early in the morning?" Diaochan gazed at him with dazed, large eyes, speaking with a coquettish tone.
"Because I love you too much!" Long Chen happily embraced Diaochan.
"Who is this ’husband’? You are my husband!" Diaochan looked puzzled, lying quietly in Long Chen’s embrace while toying with his long hair.
"Hehe, silly~"
