Chapter 1336 - 258: Hidden Kingdom, Sole Faith (Part 4)
Yan Song gently stepped back, raised his hand to wipe away that tear, and looked at her tenderly: "Why are you crying?"
Yun Ya smiled, yet tears rolled down like broken pearls, the flickering firelight casting upon her face made her beauty breathtaking.
Yun Ya threw herself into his arms, holding his waist with both hands, "Brother Yan, I’m tired..."
Yan Song gently patted her shoulder: "Sleep, I will always be with you."
"I used to spend New Year’s with Miaomiao, this is the third New Year without Miaomiao, I wonder if he feels lonely by himself..." Yun Ya murmured to herself.
Unknowingly, she fell asleep, Yan Song cradled her in his arms, and then a series of giggles erupted. Yan Song frowned and looked over, only to see Yan Si’s excited little face peeking out from behind a pillar not far away. Seeing Yan Song looking over, she hurriedly covered her eyes: "Big brother, I didn’t see anything."
"Tell your third auntie that I’m taking Yun Ya back first."
Yan Si nodded vigorously, and with those words, she dashed away.
Returning to the West Warm Pavilion, Yan Song laid Yun Ya on the bed, took off his coat, and lay down.

At this moment, as long as there are Chinese people in this world, there is a scene of celebration and joy.
However, in the vast expanse of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, there is a lonely island, like an insignificant speck in the vast universe.
Around the island, many patrolling warships can be found, vigilantly watching the sea, preventing the appearance of any suspicious individuals.
A warship slowly docked on the shore, a more than eight-foot-tall Black general disembarked from the deck. In his camouflage uniform, he appeared even darker, with a gun holster strapped to his waist. He walked with a stride full of power, his eyes emitting a hidden brilliance, as he quickly descended from the warship. A man approached him with a team of soldiers following behind. At the sight of the Black general, they quickly stood at attention, "General Gal, you’ve worked hard, please head back to rest."
Gal nodded without a trace of a smile: "I’m going to see the Queen."
"General Gal, please wait." Hans spoke up.
Gal frowned as he looked over.
Hans approached with a sycophantic smile: "Regarding the matter with Fred, I hope General Gal could put in a good word for me in front of the Queen. I’m a victim too, General Gal... I also have a few new beauties for extradition at my place, I’ll send them to you tonight... I hope you can put in several good words for me in front of the Queen..."
Gal gave a cold laugh, "Wait for it." With those words, he turned and walked away briskly.
Hans squinted slightly. This Gal was absolutely loyal to the Queen, commanding half of the island’s armed forces, standing in opposition to the other powerholder, Gianna. Gal was smart, yet somewhat headstrong. But the Queen trusted him a lot. A few days ago, Fred, the leader of the W Legion, was discovered to be colluding with Arturo’s eldest son, Parker, in an attempt to threaten the Queen. When the Queen discovered it, Fred was immediately executed. The Queen’s consistent policy is to rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one slip, anyone related to Fred couldn’t escape. The bodies were thrown into the sea to feed the sharks wave after wave, and to this day, the stench of blood still lingered in the air, making him feel nauseous.
He merely drank with Fred before the incident and was thus targeted by the Queen as a suspect. Although his military authority was not revoked, the Queen nonetheless planted a seed of suspicion in her heart. The Queen was extremely suspicious and ruthless. He has been on edge these days, fearing that the Queen would find trouble with him.
This little island is the base of the Bauhinia Society, situated in distant seas, practically off the map. No one can find it; it is the Queen’s kingdom. This small lonely island hosts a country. In a place unknown to anyone, a powerful kingdom is quietly rising. Once it appears before the world, it will undoubtedly cause a global shock.
It houses the most powerful armed forces, and the strictest and most standardized military management. The island has over five hundred households, featuring malls, supermarkets, schools, courts, and all societal systems, appearing as a complete and standardized socialized kingdom. Its residents don’t believe in ghosts, gods, Buddhas, or Jesus, only in the Queen, who has given them a stable and prosperous life, she is their only faith.
There once was an incident here, where a young boy spoke disrespectfully about the Queen. His father personally brought him to the palace, pleading with the Queen to punish his rebellious son and to forgive his own crime. However, the Queen graciously forgave the boy, winning even more faithful devotion from her subjects.
The Queen is merciful only to her people; to outsiders, she is a merciless executioner, and her confidants know this best.
