Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Feng Ao Kuai listened to their words and sighed lightly. He patted Nan Luo’s shoulder. “You won’t be able to pry open her mouth no matter what you do.”

“…I know.” Nan Luo looked like he wanted to cry.

In the first place, he knew that he couldn’t force his twin sister to say anything she didn’t want to say.

Even if he wanted to pry open her mouth, that would depend on whether he had the capability to do so. And based on what Nan Luo knew about himself, he sadly didn’t have that qualification.

He was too weak!

Most importantly, he didn’t want to raise his hand against his twin sister.

Nan Luo truly felt that he was really miserable.

“Eat more food so that you can sleep.” Feng Ao Kuai handed the bowl to Nan Luo. Anyway, it was estimated that Nan Luo would be tortured to sleep, so it would be better to fill his belly.

“If I’m too full, I won’t be able to eat…”

“It’s fine.”

Nan Luo: “…”

While Nan Luo was resentfully eating more soup with Feng Ao Kuai, Nan Hua was silently making her way to her tent. Her steps were light and her expression looked indifferent, but her eyes flickered from time to time.

To be honest, she was a bit surprised with herself.

During the short discussion with Long Qian Xing, she didn’t expect that she would actually try to recommend herself to fight so openly and blatantly in front of Long Qian Xing.

With her cautious and careful personality, Nan Hua knew very well that she was not someone who was eager to show her presence. She was not the type of person who was aiming to make grand achievements or anything like that.

It has always been the opposite.

She would try her best to hide her merit and blend in the darkness, become as ordinary as possible so that no one would be able to notice her.

No one noticed.

No one knew.

No one paid attention.

She would be the one making the move in the dark by herself and no one ever realized that she was actually the one who made the move.

It has always been her style.

If she had wanted to become famous, she could have done that from a young age. With her capabilities, countless people would be too ashamed to say that they were a genius.

In front of her, many people were so pale in comparison.

But she never did it.𝒪𝗏𝓁xt.𝓬𝒪𝕞

However…

During that conversation, Nan Hua felt a faint impulse from within her heart to make the move first and try her best to show herself out in this battle in front of Long Qian Xing. It was such a dangerous thought that Nan Hua never expected from herself.

Prove herself?

She never had to prove herself to anyone.

Her performance was clear for anyone and those who dared to doubt her would be beaten up.

Show herself?

She was someone from the dark world and didn’t have any desire to stand within the light.

But when she was discussing with Long Qian Xing and he mentioned about tactics, Nan Hua knew very well that she was thinking about various war tactics stored inside her mind. These were the memory she learned from many events in her previous lives.

Even if more than half of them couldn’t be used in this era, the rest of them was still very useful.

Nan Hua’s plan was to use them appropriately when it was necessary.

‘When it’s necessary…’

It’s necessary now, isn’t it?

From the very moment her relationship with Long Qian Xing was confirmed, Nan Hua knew very well that something within her was slowly changing.

She could no longer always put an indifferent expression in front of Long Qian Xing. Instead, she would try her best to guess what he wanted and try to help him, make him happy, and spend more time with him.

These things slowly became her subconscious thoughts that affected her actions in a subtle way.

‘I…’

She wanted to be with him.

She wanted to tell him that she could also be of help to him.

She didn’t just want to stay on the background board.

‘I like him.’

Nan Hua lowered her head and the corner of her lips curled up slightly.

She had known that she had feelings for Long Qian Xing, but it was only now she understood the depth of this short and simple sentence of ‘I like you.’

It’s a very simple sentence.

But it was also a very powerful sentence.

Nan Hua raised her eyes, looking at the starry sky above her head. She knew that she’s changing slowly but surely, but she was not against this change.

In this relationship, she will also accommodate him just as he accommodates her but in her own ways.

…

<Long Qian Xing’s side>

The talk with Nan Hua ended after the short discussion about tomorrow’s battle. Long Qian Xing went on a separate way from Nan Hua and returned to his own tent, looking at the pile of documents on the table and sighed lightly.

When he saw Nan Hua’s eyes when she stared in his direction, he felt that it was impossible for him to stay calm.

He has always seen Nan Hua as a cute little rabbit that was weak and needed to be protected.

That was his impression of Nan Hua from the very beginning.

But later on, he learned that the little girl who looked very cute and petite was nothing like her outer appearance.

She’s a very strong and capable woman.

Unlike the weak and fragile image that he thought at first, Nan Hua was actually someone who could compare with him.

“Lou.”

“Yes, Master?” Lou quickly came to the tent as fast as possible.

“Lou, send these to the other commanders.” Long Qian Xing put a few documents and handed them to Lou.

“Yes, Master.”

Long Qian Xing sat near the door and looked at the starry sky above him.
