My Demon Queen

Chapter 208 What do you want

Mo Qingcheng's beautiful eyes like autumn water flickered, and with a bit of curiosity, she looked intently at Ye An, who looked eager to try and couldn't wait to show his skills. Then she looked at his expression that was brimming with confidence, as if everything was under control. For a moment, a ripple of curiosity arose in her heart.

"What do you want?"

Mo Qingcheng opened her lips slightly and asked in a soft but dignified voice.

Mu Wushuang and Princess Changle also looked at Ye An with expectation, holding their breath and waiting quietly for his answer.

Seeing that Mo Qingcheng had no objection, Ye An instantly became excited and beaming with joy. Just as he was about to happily expound on his carefully conceived ideas like a torrent of water, he suddenly seemed to have pressed the pause button and was stunned.

"Am I oversimplifying things?"

Ye An's mind was like a movie playing, recalling the long and tortuous journey of China from a feudal society to a socialist country over the past century, which was all forged by countless bloodshed and sacrifices, and the struggles of successive generations. And most importantly, would the rulers really be willing to share the power they held tightly in their hands?

For a moment, Ye An's expression changed from extreme excitement to deep frustration. His face, which was originally full of vitality, was now full of powerlessness and helplessness. He then hung his head like a deflated ball and slowly sat down next to Mo Qingcheng. He looked at her with an embarrassed expression, lowered his eyes, and said, "I seem to have oversimplified things."

Mo Qingcheng quietly watched the huge change in Ye An, from the initial excitement that seemed to illuminate the whole world to the current dejection like a frost-bitten eggplant. All the subtle expressions were taken in.

"Little brother, is it really you? Don't be so hasty to jump to conclusions. I'm still here!"

Princess Changle was extremely anxious when she saw Ye An go from being full of confidence to being so dejected. She thought to herself, knowing that Wu Chen's comment was about Ye An, so how could she let Ye An give up so easily?

Mu Wushuang also looked at Ye An with a deep gaze, her eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to absorb the stars. It was unknown what she was thinking deeply about, her eyes were filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

"What kind of person are you?"

Ye An slowly raised his head and looked at Princess Changle, who was anxious like an ant on hot pot. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then he turned his gaze to Mo Qingcheng with a bit of embarrassment on his face, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Whatever you want to do, just do it. I will take care of all the consequences. Have you forgotten what I said?"

Mo Qingcheng opened her red lips and spoke slowly, her tone full of unquestionable arrogance and unwavering determination. A jade-like hand as white as mutton-fat jade was gently placed on the table, with her fingers slightly bent.

Ye An looked at Mo Qingcheng's domineering appearance and was distracted for a moment, as if his soul was attracted. Then a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he continued to shake his head.

The difficulty of this matter is no less than rebuilding a brand new country on a barren land. It requires careful handling of all aspects, and... it is bound to touch the core interests of many people. It is simply a difficult confrontation with the greed and selfishness hidden in human nature.

Princess Changle became more and more anxious, with beads of sweat on her forehead. Then she took a step forward with firm and powerful steps, and said to Ye An anxiously: "If you can make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and last forever, I, Changle, will also be willing to cover for you."

Ye An turned around and looked at Princess Changle. Seeing her determination and perseverance like a rock, he could clearly feel that she sincerely desired that her country could prosper and last forever. However, the difficulty of this matter was beyond his imagination.

Ye An said slowly: "Even if from now on, your royal family no longer controls the country, are you willing?"

When Princess Changle heard this, her body was stunned, her face full of disbelief, her eyes widened and she looked straight at Ye An. Mu Wushuang also looked at Ye An in astonishment, she never expected that Ye An's idea was so bold.

Mo Qingcheng said nothing, still looking at Ye An's profile expressionlessly. That gaze seemed to be able to penetrate everything. It could be clearly seen from his profile that Ye An's words were not a joke, but a serious expression after careful consideration.

Afterwards, Mo Qingcheng picked up the teacup gracefully, recalling Ye An's eagerness, passion, and excitement in wanting to accomplish this earth-shattering event. The hand holding the teacup just stopped in mid-air, without moving for a long time.

"Qingcheng, let's leave tomorrow."

Mo Qingcheng turned around and saw Ye An looking at her with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.

"Do you miss it very much?" Mo Qingcheng frowned slightly and asked with a slightly puzzled look.

Ye An smiled bitterly and shook his head. "This is too difficult. Forget it. Just treat it as a momentary fantasy on my part."

"I ask you, do you miss it very much?" Mo Qingcheng continued to ask, her tone becoming heavier, her eyes as sharp as torches, staring at Ye An closely, as if trying to see through his heart.

Ye An looked at Mo Qingcheng's persistence and determination, feeling somewhat puzzled. He really didn't understand why she was so determined to get an answer.

"I'll ask you one last time, do you really want to change a country?" Mo Qingcheng asked indifferently. This was the third time he asked the question, and the voice sounded particularly clear in the quiet space.

Ye An looked at Mo Qingcheng's firm and persistent look that would not tolerate rejection, then took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"I do, very much." Ye An said affirmatively, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, as if secretly encouraging himself.

"Okay, there is also a human kingdom within the demon clan. I'll leave it to you to change it. Whether it's good or bad, it's up to you. No matter what happens, I'll take care of it." Mo Qingcheng regained his usual calmness, raised the teacup in his hand high, drank it all, then spoke seriously and solemnly, his eyes revealing unreserved trust.

Ye An also suddenly remembered that there are humans among the demons, and they are right at his doorstep, so it is convenient to do things. At worst, he can start all over again. Whoever objects, who dares to object.

Afterwards, Ye An regained his usual sunny smile, gave Mo Qingcheng a thumbs up, and said excitedly: "It's feasible, it's feasible!"

Mo Qingcheng looked at Ye An, who had regained his previous confident and high-spirited appearance. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile. She slowly poured herself tea with gentle and graceful movements, and also poured a cup for Ye An.

Princess Changle felt envious for a moment when she heard Mo Qingcheng so decisively hand over her clan's kingdom to Ye An to change. However, she was only a princess with a high position but little power, and she could not make many key decisions on her own.

Mu Wushuang watched Mo Qingcheng indulge Ye An so unreservedly, and she instantly understood why Ye An was so infatuated with Mo Qingcheng.

"Okay, although I can't help you change the country, I can give you a manual and a set of laws. As long as you strictly follow the manual, the country will be able to survive for hundreds of years."

Ye An returned to his normal state and spoke to Princess Changle with a confident smile on his face.

Just when Ye An was fully expecting that Princess Changle would burst into tears of gratitude towards him, he did not expect that a trace of uncontrollable anger would suddenly surge up on Princess Changle's face.

Ye An didn't react for a moment, and looked at Mu Wushuang with a blank face. He found that she also looked speechless and helpless. He turned to look at Mo Qingcheng. She still had an indifferent expression, as if nothing in the world could stir up waves in her heart.

"Even if you don't help me, you can't curse me."

Princess Changle spoke to Ye An angrily, with her hands on her hips and her eyebrows raised.

Ye An suddenly felt a little confused and said with an innocent look on his face.

"How could I? And I'm telling the truth!"

"Telling the truth is a curse on me? Our Tang Dynasty has been passed down for thousands of years, and my father is only the second emperor. Do you really want our Tang Dynasty to break its inheritance?"

Princess Changle said angrily, the rage in her heart seemed to be about to burst out, she wished she could go up and beat Ye An up right away, but he was her idol, so she could only hold it back.

Upon hearing this, Ye An stood still in place for a moment, as if he had been cast under a spell. "Inherited for a thousand years? This is only the second generation?"

"Excuse me, how old is your father?" Ye An asked cautiously, beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead unknowingly.

"My father is now 1,300 years old, in the prime of his life. You are cursing that the Tang Dynasty can only last for a few hundred years."

Princess Changle looked at Ye An as if he were a fool and said speechlessly, crossing her arms over her chest, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Ye An immediately jumped up from the stool, his eyes widened like bells, his face full of shock and disbelief. A variety of complicated memories flooded into his mind like a tide, but they were all blurry.

Princess Changle and Mu Wushuang looked at Ye An in confusion. They really didn't understand why Ye An was so surprised as if he had never heard of it before when it was common knowledge known to everyone.

At this moment, Mo Qingcheng stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched Ye An's brow. A cold feeling instantly penetrated into Ye An's mind like an electric current.

Ye An also returned to normal in an instant. He looked at Mo Qingcheng who stood up and looked at him calmly, and tried to calm himself down.

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Ye An said a little embarrassedly, scratching his head, a blush on his face.

Mo Qingcheng withdrew her fingers indifferently, looked at Ye An and spoke slowly.

"Should I go or stay?"

After Ye An glanced at Princess Changle and Mu Wushuang, he turned back and said to Mo Qingcheng.

"Stay for a few days. I'll pack some things for them. By the way, I want to show you around."

When Mo Qingcheng heard that Ye An wanted to take her out for a walk, her expression instantly softened. She nodded lightly and slowly sat down like a willow swaying in the wind.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to curse you just now, but what I said can still help you."

Ye An spoke sincerely to Princess Changle, clasping his hands together and bowing slightly.

Princess Changle looked at Ye An and saw that he really didn't know what happened, so she softened her expression and bowed solemnly to Ye An.

"If it's useful, you will be my Tang Dynasty's friend forever."

Princess Changle said this sincerely, her eyes full of anticipation.

Ye An quickly turned sideways to avoid Princess Changle's respectful salute, then waved his hand and turned his gaze to Mu Wushuang.

Mu Wushuang also kept staring at Ye An, her eyes never moving away for a moment, and she even saw every intimate action that Mo Qingcheng had just taken towards Ye An.

"You're so stubborn. I have something to give you after this," Ye An said with a smile, his face full of kindness.

But as soon as these words fell, Mo Qingcheng's gaze shot towards Ye An as sharp as a sword.

Mu Wushuang looked at Ye An with some surprise, then nodded, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
