Chapter 612: Return to Heavenly City

When the next morning's sunlight shone through the windows into the ship's cabin, the entire room was filled with a pale golden glow. The boat has docked, and the chirping of seabirds and the noise of fishermen can be heard outside, suggesting that a new day has begun.

In this quiet cabin, Ye Ning sat naked on the edge of the bed, his skin looking healthier and more radiant in the early morning sun. He slowly put on his clothes, and every movement seemed so calm and natural. He turned his head to look at Li Yishuang lying under the quilt beside him, her face still had the flush of last night, like a cherry blossom in the first bloom, clear and delicate.

Ye Ning gently stretched out his hand and gently stroked Li Yishuang's face, his fingertips carrying a kind of warmth and love. He said softly to Li Yishuang, "We're here, I'll go get something to eat first, and then we'll go home after eating." This sentence seems to carry a kind of commitment and responsibility, showing his concern and protection for Li Yishuang.

Li Yishuang's eyes looked a little shy, and she wrapped the quilt around herself even tighter, as if she wanted to hide everything she had from Ye Ning. She nodded slightly, her meaningful eyes met Ye Ning for a moment, and then Ye Ning turned around and left the cabin.

Li Yishuang, who stayed in the room, was still flushed, and there was a certain light flashing in her eyes, as if she was still reminiscing about what happened last night. Her heart was beating faster, and the whole person seemed to be wrapped in the warmth of last night, and for a while she forgot that she was not dressed, and she was stunned in place.

The early morning light and the warmth of the cabin are intertwined to form a beautiful picture, and the emotions of the two people reach in this moment.

The morning sun shone on the sea, sparkling and gently swaying with the breeze. The warship was quietly moored by the pier, reflecting the eastern continent in the distance. In the cabin, Ye Ning and Li Yishuang sat at the dining table, with a simple and fragrant breakfast in front of them. The air was filled with the smell of steaming hot and food.

However, in stark contrast, Li Yishuang was very silent throughout the breakfast process, and didn't even dare to look up at Ye Ning. Her eyes were lowered, her long eyelashes obscured her eyes, and she was just mechanically eating the food in front of her, as if she was deeply entangled and uneasy in her heart.

After eating, the two stood up gently. Ye Ning was the first to walk to the hatch, and Li Yishuang followed, the steps of the two seemed to be so tacit, and they walked down the ramp of the warship with steady steps. On the dock, dozens of soldiers in military uniforms stood neatly in two rows, their expressions were serious, and their eyes looked firmly at Ye Ning and Li Yishuang, showing their respect and loyalty to the two.

The soldiers saluted and welcomed the two men. Then, two officers stepped forward and respectfully guided Ye Ning and Li Yishuang towards an official military vehicle. The car starts and slowly drives out of the dock, passing through the bustling streets, and finally stopping at the entrance of the high-speed rail station.

On the platform, the high-speed train waits silently, its streamlined shape and steel body glistening in the sun. Ye Ning and Li Yishuang were guided into the car, the interior of the carriage was spacious and quiet, and the scenery outside the window was rapidly receding, representing that the two were about to start a new journey towards their hometown, Tiancheng.

In the carriage of the high-speed train, there is a quiet and slight sound of wheels rubbing against the rails. On the spacious seat, Ye Ning and Li Yishuang sat side by side, leaving a clear distance between them, which was not only physical, but also seemed to be due to the entanglement last night and the embarrassment at the moment.

Li Yishuang's face had a faint flush, her eyes seemed to be hiding from something, and she didn't dare to look directly at Ye Ning. Her eyes were always focused on the window, and those bright eyes reflected the rapidly receding landscape, as if she was looking for a place to hide, to escape the embarrassment of the moment. Her hands rested lightly on her knees, her fingertips unconsciously clasped tightly, revealing her inner uneasiness.

Ye Ning sat beside her, his eyes were much calmer. Seeing her avoid his gaze, he didn't seem to want to break the silence, instead turning his head to look out the window. For a year, he felt both familiar and unfamiliar with the changes in the continent. The city on the road still retains the outline of his memory, but there are also many new buildings, roads and bridges. They blend in with the images in his memory, but there seem to be subtle differences.

Sunlight poured in diagonally through the window, spilling on the two of them. The lights inside the carriage are intertwined with the sunlight outside

Together, they bring soft light and shadow to this space. Outside the car window, all kinds of scenery are constantly refreshing, from the bustling city to the vast fields, to the rolling mountains, all like a flowing picture scroll unfolding in front of the eyes of the two people.

During this time, although the two did not communicate, the emotions in their hearts were constantly intertwined, with regrets, shyness, longing, and expectations.

Although Tiancheng has experienced the vicissitudes and changes of the times, in the eyes of Ye Ning and Li Yishuang, it is still that familiar and warm home. The sky outside the high-speed rail station is blue and sunny, and the air is mixed with a bit of fresh soil smell and a faint floral fragrance.

On the platform, among the bustling crowd, Ye Ning and Li Yishuang were particularly conspicuous, they stood there, looking at the city they were familiar with. The streets are lined with shops, some of which are run by humans and some by animals, showing the unique harmony between humans and animals. The store's signboard has both ordinary words and animal footprints, highlighting the diversity of culture here.

In the streets, all kinds of animals swagger and walk, either leisurely or busy running their own businesses, living in harmony with people without any barriers or alienations. In the air, birds hovered and flew, either frolicking with each other or seriously patrolling the city below, as if they were the guardians of the heavenly city, ensuring peace and security here.

Just as Ye Ning and Li Yishuang were immersed in this familiar scenery, a voice broke the silence: "Both, please get in the car." They turned their heads to see a uniformed soldier standing next to an official military vehicle, his gaze determined, his posture straight, and his hand holding a military cap. Next to the car, there were several soldiers, who were standing around the car, obviously to pick up Ye Ning and Li Yishuang. Ye Ning nodded, and walked towards the military vehicle with Li Yishuang.

The vehicle came to a gentle stop in front of the wide stone steps of the Temple of Swallowing Heaven. The Temple of Swallowing Heaven is a magnificent structure that stands in the center of the Celestial City, with a towering minaret and resplendent gold. The stone steps in front of the hall have been polished over the years, and they appear particularly smooth, shimmering with silver in the sun. There are huge stone pillars on both sides of the hall, carved with magnificent pictures of various mythical beasts and history.

Ye Ning stepped out of the car, his steps were firm, and his eyes showed determination for future affairs. He turned around, leaned over and looked down at Li Yishuang in the car. Her gaze was a little evasive, her hands gripping the handles of the car doors tightly, as if looking for some comfort. Ye Ning's eyes were full of concern, and he said softly to Li Yishuang, "I'll go to a meeting first, and you go home and wait for me." In that tone, there was both a sense of responsibility and concern for her.

When Li Yishuang heard this, the flush on her face became even more obvious. Those eyes that were once as bright as stars seemed a little fluttering at the moment, especially when she heard the words "wait for me at home", she was obviously touched a little. She seemed to want to say something, but she didn't seem to know how to speak, so she just blushed and nodded lightly, confirming that she had heard Ye Ning's words.

Ye Ning understands that what happened last night made Li Yishuang feel complicated, after the first time, Li Yishuang suddenly found it difficult to accept such a rapid change in feelings, and suddenly there were more people in her life, she must not be able to bear it, Ye Ning probably understood Li Yishuang's entanglement, he knew that all this could only be long, and he was in love.

Ye Ning gently closed the car door to make sure she was safe. He watched the van drift away, knowing she would be sent home safely. Turning, he looked at the Temple of Heaven Swallowing, where important business awaited him. He took a deep breath and walked resolutely towards the hall, ready to face the next meeting.

Ye Ning slowly walked into the majestic Heaven Swallowing Palace, the marble floor in the hall reflected the light, and his figure looked even more powerful. Resplendent wall lamps flickered, illuminating the surroundings. In the Heaven-Swallowing Palace, there was a lot of people, and groups of people kept walking around, shuttling to all corners. Some are talking about a new policy, others are pleasantries, but on the whole, there is a sense of prosperity and vibrancy.

Ye Ning began to slowly walk towards the top floor of the Heaven Swallowing Palace. Each step is exquisitely carved with ancient motifs that illustrate the glorious history of mankind. As he reached the top floor, he was greeted by a spacious and luxuriously decorated conference room. Huge crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, illuminating the room as if it were daylight. But at this time, the conference room was unusually silent,

Empty.

Ye Ning looked around, and there were delicate metal name tags on various seats, which were the logos of various high-ranking human personnel. He walked over to his seat and gently stroked his name tag, which was engraved with the words "Ye Ning", which was his identity as a representative of the human side. But he didn't stop, his eyes turned to the other brands, he wanted to see if anything new had changed in the time he had been away.

But when he saw the location of Yu Xuanao's leader, he found that the name plate there was missing. This made Ye Ning's heart tighten, Yu Xuanao's leader was an important leader on the human side, what did the disappearance of his name brand mean? Is he no longer in this important position, or is something else happening?

Ye Ning took a deep breath and tried to calm down, he knew that he might need to find out all this next
