  Because of this, Nangong Yue had no other choice but to help Ning Meng Yao with all his heart.

  He hoped that he could be completely freed one day.

  “What connection does the Emperor Ling have with Miaojiang?” Ning Meng Yao asked without thinking.

  Nangong Yue stunned for a moment, and then said: “The cooperation between the King of Miaojiang and Emperor Ling was established more than ten years ago. It is because of this that Miaojiang’s people are in Ling Empire.”


  Upon hearing this, Ning Meng Yao understood: “What do they want to do?”


  “Unite the nations.”


  This was what every emperor wanted to do but could not achieve.

  Emperor Ling was quite ridiculous. Did he really think that Miaojiang would truly cooperate with him? As long as each country was annexed by Ling Empire, it would be the death of Ling Empire.

  The King of Miaojiang’s ambitions were even greater than what Emperor Ling imagined. How could he be satisfied with conquering only so little?

  “It seems that Ling Empire is just a springboard for Miaojiang. Their main purpose is still to conquer the entire continent.” Ning Meng Yao frowned and said with a sigh.

  “That is true, but there are not many people who can see this matter clearly.” Qiao Tian Chang nodded, Emperor Ling was being led on, to think about how lucky he got.

  Ning Meng Yao thought about it then looked at Nangong Yue: “Go back first.”


  “Yes.”


  “Yao Yao, what do you want Nangong Yue to do?” After Nangong Yue left, Qiao Tian Chang looked at Ning Meng Yao and asked curiously.

  Ning Meng Yao blinked and turned to Qiao Tian Chang, a little taken aback, she asked: “How did you know?”


  “What do you think?” Qiao Tian Chang raised an eyebrow at Ning Meng Yao, looking at her with ridicule.

  Ning Meng Yao rolled her eyes at Qiao Tian Chang, and voiced out her idea: “Nangong Yue knows Ling Empire better than we do. It is better for him to do these things. When he helps to deal with Emperor Ling, we will kill the Imperial Merchant at Miaojiang.” One could not blame her for being ruthless. They were the ones to be blamed. They kept coming after her family.

  Qiao Tian Chang stretched out his hand and pinched Ning Meng Yao’s cheek: “Okay, we’ll go ahead with it.”


  “You have to help me.” Ning Meng Yao looked at Qiao Tian Chang dissatisfied.

  “Okay, as long as you are happy.”


  If the couple was not talking about serious matters, those who did not know would think that they were showing affection to another.

  “Let’s go and see that Imperial Merchant.” Ning Meng Yao smiled slightly, and dragged Qiao Tian Chang out.

  Nan Yu followed behind the two. Using the Gu King, he guided the couple.

  The couple stood in front of a restaurant. It was a fine restaurant. Ning Meng Yao turned to Nan Yu and asked: “Are you sure this is here?”


  Nan Yu nodded: “Yes, it is here.” The king’s movement was the strongest here. Not only that, his movement was also very excited, as if there was something huge going on here.

  Ning Meng Yao glanced at the plaque, then walked in with a playful smile on her face.

  “Let’s go, let’s have a look to see what’s good about this place.” There were so many people, and they looked a little weird.

  The group went upstairs to a private room. Xiao Er came up with a decent smile: “What would our dear guests like to have?”


  “Bring up your signature dishes.” Qiao Tian Chang ordered coldly.

  Xiao Er’s eyes lit up, it was obvious that she had met a rich man.

  Xiao Er went out quickly, and after a while, the food was served.

  Nan Yu glanced at the dishes on the table, his eyes full of coldness: “Boss, these dishes can not be eaten.”


  “Oh? What’s wrong?” When Qiao Tian Chang was about to speak, Ning Meng Yao asked, astonished.

  Nan Yu became serious and stared at the food on the table. He then said in a serious tone: “There is a type of seasoning in these foods. Although it can enhance the taste of food, it will be addictive in the long run.”


  Ning Meng Yao was shocked. Isn’t this the same as poppy seeds?

  “How do you know?”


  “There are many such seasonings in Miaojiang, but for the people who were born in Miaojiang, this seasoning is quite a useful supplement, but for other people, it is fatal.” The more one ate it, the more one would gradually become addicted to it. As long as one stopped eating it for a period of time, one would start to lose energy, as if one was sick.

  And if at this time, one was determined to not eat it, one might have a good chance to recover. But if one continued to eat this kind of food, then one would be inseparable from it for life.
