Almost a year had passed since the start of the war. Jiang Wayin and Jin Zixuan had taken back lotus pier within minimum fight and joined the rest of the group. The Wen army was a formidable feat. Not only were they strong, but they seemed near impossible to beat, but the allied sects were no small feat either. So they pressed on cutting through the Wen Army's defenses, making their way towards Nightless City to finally defeat the Wen king and bring an end to the war.

The night before, they would breach the gates of Nightless City. The Emperor and Empress spent the night sereniting each other until they both fell tired and limbless next to each. Their bodies gleamed with sweat and gasping for breath. They laid in each other's arms, placing sweet kisses on each other's faces until they fell asleep. The next morning, as they got ready for the final battle, the Empress laid his hand on the Emperor's arm.

"Lan Zhan, this war has been going on for so long, and finally, we are almost at the finish line. Promise me just one thing."

The Empress spoke as he looked at the Emperor with wide big silver eyes as golden honey took in those beautiful eyes.

"What is it, Wei Ying?."

The Emperor asked softly as he lovingly stroked his mates face.

"Promise me that you will be careful and that we will return home safely and together. "

The Empress spoke in a pleading voice, which made the Emperor frown slightly as he looked at the Empress.

"Wei Ying."

He said as he brought his mate into his arms.

"I promise only if you promise me the same thing."

The Emperor continues as he gently rubs his mates back.

"I promise Lan Zhan."

The Empress said as he pushed himself out of the embrace and started to loosen the Emperor's battle robes, which earned him an amuse look and raised brow from his mate. The Empress shook his head as he continued to loosen the robes.

"It's not what you think, Lan Zhan. Stop your perverted thoughts."

The Empress said with a soft chuckle  as he let his hands glide down the chest of the Emperor until it stopped right where the Emperor's golden core was situated. The Empress closed his eyes for a moment before he took his hand away and took something from inside of his robes. This whole time, the Emperor was watching his mate as his hands caressed his chest. His eyes followed the Empress every move until his eyes fell on the talisman that he took out of the front of his robes.

"Wei Ying?."

The Empress looked at his mate and smiled before he answered.

"This here is to protect your golden core, Lan Zhan. We all know that Wen Rouhan has a powerful alpha at his side. Wen Zhuliu, and you know what he is capable of."

The Empress spoke in a serious tone of voice as he looked at his mate. The Emperor nodded his head in understanding, and the Empress infused some of his spiritual energy into the talismans before slamming it on his lower daintian. The emperor gritted his teeth as he felt a slight discomfort, as the talisman settled itself around his golden core. The Empress never took his eyes off his mate, and when the Emperor nodded his head, telling his mate that it worked, he blew out a short and relief breath.

"Wangji and Wuxian, it's almost time to leave."

The voice of the first prince could be heard from outside their tent.

"We will be right out, Xichen-ge. "

The Empress called before helping his mate get dressed again.

"Wei Ying, what about you?."
