Chapter 663 - 590: Annoying Green Tea!
The visitor’s profile picture was a simple snowy scene, with nothing but a pair of beautiful, snow-white antlers resembling branches, and the name field was blank.
Shen Tang looked at this completely unfamiliar message. There were no chat records between them, just the default system greeting.
She recalled this was the young master of the Eternal Winter Empire’s trade caravan she met at the Northern Ice Field, Lin Xi.
After updating the contact name, she replied:
[What’s up?]
The other side seemed very excited, with "typing" displayed for a long time before a message finally arrived:
[Beautiful and noble Shen Tang, Your Majesty, I am so delighted to receive your reply! Ever since I saw you, your beautiful figure has been deeply imprinted in my mind, making you unforgettable; every moment, open or closed eye, it’s you in my thoughts!]
[These days apart from you, I have been truly miserable, unable to eat, thinking of you day and night!]
This passionate and excited tone almost made Shen Tang think she had an ardent fan.
Recalling the youth’s cool and graceful appearance, just standing there like a painting, pure as snow and ice, she hadn’t expected his actual personality to be so lively and outgoing.
Shen Tang hesitated for a moment before slowly replying: [It’s been a while. You should come to the Night Glow Empire for a visit when you can; I will certainly treat you well.]
The opposite side quickly replied: [Thank you for Your Majesty’s invitation. I have never been to the Imperial City; I must visit and see its splendor if I ever get the chance.]
He also sent a "little deer heart" emoji.
A faint smile involuntarily appeared on Shen Tang’s lips, [Then I’ll be waiting~]
[I really want to see Shen Tang, Your Majesty, soon; I’m so eager for that day to come!]
Faced with such direct enthusiasm, Shen Tang was silent for a few seconds, suddenly unsure of how to respond.
Lin Xi may have found himself too excited and soon became serious again, continuing:
[By the way, Shen Tang, Your Majesty, do you remember what you mentioned before we parted last time? I told our Emperor about it.]
[The Emperor said he’d like to privately meet with you next month.]
Shen Tang initially brought it up offhandedly, not expecting that Lin Xi, being just the son of a trade caravan owner, could actually contact the Empire’s Emperor directly.
However, the other party mentioned a private meeting, not a formal summit between nations, and no formal invitation was sent.
Shen Tang said: [If it’s a formal meeting between the two nations, I’ll attend.]
Lin Xi replied: [As far as I know, the Emperor and the high officials are still contemplating joining the Dawn Alliance, so they haven’t sent a formal invitation. They plan to talk with you privately first before deciding.]
Shen Tang replied: [Let me think about it.]
[Alright, I will wait for Your Majesty’s reply.]
After briefly discussing official matters, the youth switched the topic to everyday chat:
[The cold spell in the Eternal Winter Empire has passed, and it is now the warm season, the warmest time of the year. How’s it over there? I heard that beautiful flowers bloom all over your trees, I’ve never seen that.]
He sent a short video clip.
In the clip, the youth, as cool as snow, stood by the window, his slender figure garbed in a simple white shirt, accentuating his clean elegance. Outside the window, tall coniferous trees stood as the ice and snow began to thaw; though it was the warm season, the sunlight was still sparse, lending a touch of chill.
He gazed outside, his voice clear and softly sweet, "Your Majesty, look, the cold spell has departed, and the weather is warming up."
Occasionally, a wind would blow, lifting the hem of his shirt, revealing a sliver of his slender and graceful waist, exuding an indescribable allure.
He stood there, beautiful like a painting.
Shen Tang’s gaze lingered on the video for a couple of seconds before she also took a picture of the view outside her window and sent it over—
In the prime of summer, the trees were lush and green, the branches decked with blooming flowers. The dance of shadows under the sunlight painted a picture of warm and vibrant life.
Lin Xi marveled: [It’s truly beautiful.]
Shen Tang replied with a smile: [You’re welcome to visit if you have the time.]
The two chatted idly for a bit until Lin Xi mentioned he had something to attend to, and the conversation came to a pause.
The final message Lin Xi left was:
[Looking forward to meeting Your Majesty again.]
Shen Tang looked at the ended chat interface, feeling inexplicably joyful. Thinking that if they could form the alliance, they would gain the powerful ally of the Eternal Winter Empire, she couldn’t help but hum a tune lightly.
