“Elder sister, let us bow in ceremony!” Suo Lun said.
Suo Ning Bing trembled as she said, “Can, can this really be done?”
“Of course.” Suo Lun said.
Suo Ning Bing was so excited she could barely breathe, both hands gripping her skirt as she stood up.
Suo Lun stepped forward, taking her hand, coming to the centre of the room.
“First bow to heaven and earth!”
“Second bow to the high hall!”
“Husband and wife bow to each other!”
There was no one else in the room. The one bowing in ceremony was Suo Lun, and the one calling out the commands was also Suo Lun.
And outside the door, Ye Jing Yu listened until her face was covered in tears.
After the bowing ceremony was complete, Suo Lun poured two cups of wine, saying, “Come, let us drink the nuptial cup.”
Then, he gently lifted Suo Ning Bing’s bridal veil, seeing a face that was equally suited to anger or joy, soft and enchanting.
A pair of beautiful eyes, rippling with light, incomparably captivating.
Suo Ning Bing took the wine cup, drinking the nuptial cup with Suo Lun.
“Elder sister, from today onward you are my Lan Ling’s wife.” Suo Lun said.
“Mm.” Suo Ning Bing said, “For all my lives and all generations, I am your Lan Ling’s person.”
“It is not late. Let us spend the bridal chamber candle night.” Suo Lun said.
Suo Ning Bing had originally wanted to say that Zhi Yan and Yan Nai Er were still waiting for him, but ultimately did not spoil the mood by saying it.
Suo Lun kissed her soft, fragrant red lips, and then the two of them deeply kissed together, their hands intertwined.
Then, Suo Lun gently picked up her soft, delicate body, placing her upon the soft bed.
With his own hands, he removed the garments from her body one by one, revealing a crystal clear, snowy tender, delicate jade-like body.
Suo Lun’s lips kissed every inch of Suo Ning Bing’s delicate body, finally returning to kiss Suo Ning Bing’s mouth again, trembling as he said, “Elder sister, all these years, I have finally achieved my heart’s desire.”
Suo Ning Bing gasped heavily, the breath she exhaled scorching hot, fragrant, magnificent.
Her water-like eyes stared tightly into Suo Lun’s eyes.
“Ling, take me. I want to bear your children.” Suo Ning Bing trembled as she said, her arms wrapping around Suo Lun’s neck.
“Mm.” Suo Lun said.
Then, kissing her lips, Suo Lun incomparably gently possessed the tender and enchanting woman beneath him.
Suo Ning Bing merely let out a delicate cry, without any cry of pain.
Although the first time was very painful, boundless, endless happiness had already diluted this pain until it vanished without a trace.
She felt that at this moment, she had truly become one with Suo Lun.
At this time, she felt as if she truly was not Suo Ning Bing, but that Lan Kou whom Lan Ling constantly spoke of with longing.
Almost all women were unwilling to be someone else’s substitute.
But Suo Ning Bing was willing. As long as Lan Ling liked it, she wished nothing more than to be Lan Kou, that elder sister who had depended on Lan Ling for survival.
“My appearance is exactly the same as Lan Kou’s, my expressions, my subtle movements, even my habits and preferences are exactly the same. I am Lan Kou, I am little Ling’s Lan Kou.”
Suo Ning Bing said over and over in her heart, desperately kissing Suo Lun’s lips, desperately wanting to fuse the two of them together.
She could no longer use any words to express the love in her heart.
Since Suo Lun had split into two people, one Lan Ling, one Suo Lun.
Then I, Suo Ning Bing, shall also split into two people, one Suo Ning Bing, one Lan Kou.
But no matter who we are, we are all one family, forever and ever, for all lives and all generations together.
…
This was Suo Lun’s gentlest time, and also the most beautiful first time.
After it ended, the two of them still entwined their necks in lingering affection.
“Three years. I have been in this world for three years.” Suo Lun held Suo Ning Bing, speaking softly.
“Mm.” Suo Ning Bing responded lazily.
At that time, Lan Ling had set a three-year agreement. He would only play the role of Suo Lun for three years, then return to being himself.
However…
Could he still return to being himself now?
He had not only recaptured Tianshui City, he had obtained the entire Furious Wave Kingdom.
He not only shouldered the heavy responsibilities of the Suo clan, but also bore the heavy responsibilities of the entire Furious Wave Kingdom.
If he only followed Suo Lun’s heart, having Suo Ning Bing alone would be enough.
But…
Any debt was easy to repay, only the debt of feelings was hardest to repay.
Now he was the support of Yan Nai Er, Gui Qin Shao, Zhi Ning, and others. He was Qin Qin’s support, was Zhi Yu Bao Bao’s support, was the support of the children in the wombs of Gui Qin Shao and Fu Yan Er.
The people he needed to protect were growing more and more numerous, so he truly could not return to being Lan Ling anymore.
Perhaps, only here with Suo Ning Bing could he return to being Lan Ling.
Even then, here with Suo Ning Bing he could not fully return, because in Suo Ning Bing’s heart, he was a lover, was family, and also a younger brother.
“Quickly go. Yan Nai Er is waiting for you. Do not let her be sad.” Suo Ning Bing said.
“Mm.” Suo Lun nodded.
Leaving the bed, under Ye Jing Yu’s attendance, he bathed and changed clothes with the fastest speed.
Then Suo Lun headed toward Yan Nai Er’s room.
The moment he stepped inside, Nai Er’s delicate body trembled slightly, saying, “Husband, have you been to Princess Zhi Yan’s side?”
Just from the tone of this sentence, one could hear the jealousy overflowing.
Suo Lun had never seen a girl who loved jealousy so much, yet was so broad-minded. Her desire for exclusivity was very strong, yet she was so tolerant.
If not because he had loved Lan Kou since childhood, probably this girl before his eyes was the most adorable woman in the world.
“No, have not gone yet.” Suo Lun said, “I went to accompany elder sister first.”
“Oh!” Nai Er’s tone was filled with joy, not catching the other meaning in Suo Lun’s words.
Suo Lun poured two more cups of wine, handing them to Yan Nai Er, intimately drinking the nuptial cup together.
Yan Nai Er’s face of breathtaking beauty was now rosy red, gently nestling in Suo Lun’s embrace, speaking softly, “Gui Qin Shao’s belly is very pointed, it must certainly be a boy. I truly envy her.”
“Rest assured, we will certainly have children too, and not just one.” Suo Lun gently stroked her enchanting slender waist.
“After the wedding, will husband have to return to the royal city?” Nai Er said somewhat resentfully.
“Mm.” Suo Lun said, “After you hand over the Tianshui City Defence Army to the clan warriors, come to the royal city too. If you are willing to hold public office, then enter the city defence army to lead troops. If not willing, then stay at home…”
“I want to stay at home and bear children.” Nai Er hurriedly said, “After giving birth, I want to raise them myself. Now the war has ended, I am unwilling to lead troops anymore.”
“Alright.” Suo Lun stroked Nai Er’s lower abdomen, saying, “Our baby is remarkable. The moment it is born, it will be the Duke of Tianshui City, possessing the territory of nearly half a province.”
“I do not care.” Nai Er said coquettishly, “I only want to bear more children, then live harmoniously and beautifully together for a lifetime.”
Then, Nai Er’s beautiful eyes were filled with longing, saying, “Can Zhi Yu Bao Bao speak yet? Can he walk yet? How many teeth does he have? He must certainly be very adorable.”
“Very adorable. Once you enter the royal city, you will be able to hold him.” Suo Lun said, “However, a spring night is worth a thousand gold. Do you want to keep talking to me, or bear children with me.”
“Want to bear children.” Nai Er said, then immediately stood up her delicate body, beginning to undo her own clothes herself.
Revealing her nearly exaggerated devilish delicate body, then going to strip Suo Lun’s as well.
So proactive? Suo Lun was quite astonished.
Yan Nai Er said, “This is the pregnancy folk remedy that Fu Yan Er told me about. I also went to consult Tu Ling Si, and she said it was quite effective.”
Uh…
Suo Lun was speechless. In her desire to bear children, she had turned Yan Nai Er, such a peerless beauty and war goddess, into a superstitious woman, actually going to seek advice from Fu Yan Er and Tu Ling Si.
…
Coming out from Yan Nai Er’s room, it was already two hours later.
He had originally wanted to enter Princess Zhi Yan’s room.
But after a slight hesitation, he instead walked toward Fu Yan Er’s room.
From Gui Qin Shao’s coquettish, showing-off tone, Suo Lun learned that Fu Yan Er had been somewhat neglected tonight.
Of course, no one dared give her a cold face, but compared to Gui Qin Shao being the centre of attention, Fu Yan Er felt somewhat out of sorts.
Because her maternal family and Suo Lun were mortal enemies. Marquis Fu E and Fu Ling Xi, at the final critical moment, both opposed Suo Lun.
In everyone’s eyes, the Fu clan was finished, and people wanted to draw a clear line with them.
So, Fu Yan Er was also affected. At this time she was sitting on the edge of the bed feeling upset, constantly complaining about her aunt, her grandfather.
Moreover, she also did not feel that Suo Lun would come to see her, so she could only sit alone sulking in anger.
Yet her daughter Qin Qin was sleeping sweetly by her side, occasionally even letting out giggles in her dreams.
“You little heartless one.” Fu Yan Er resentfully glanced at her daughter, then stroked her belly, saying, “Baby, when you grow up, you must avenge your mother.”
And just at this moment, the door opened, and a familiar figure walked in.
Fu Yan Er could barely believe her own eyes, staring blankly at Suo Lun.
Husband Suo Lun had always been cold toward her. If not for their daughter’s sake, Fu Yan Er felt that perhaps she would have been driven away long ago.
She had never expected that tonight her husband had still not forgotten her. Instantly, love overflowed in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Suo Lun gently stroked his daughter Qin Qin’s little face, giving her a kiss on the tip of her nose.
Then he reached out to stroke Fu Yan Er’s belly, saying, “Are you vomiting severely?”
Fu Yan Er shook her head, suddenly unable to speak as well.
After a good while, Fu Yan Er said a rather non sequitur sentence, “I like to eat sour things.”
This was to tell Suo Lun that what she was carrying might perhaps be a boy.
“Do not think nonsense. I very much like girls. Having another little princess just like Qin Qin would be very good.” Suo Lun said.
“Mm.” Fu Yan Er obediently responded, but in her heart she still thought, “I just want to bear a boy.”
“Alright, sleep. Do not think nonsense.” Suo Lun patted Fu Yan Er’s cheek.
Instantly she immediately lay down, exaggeratedly closing her eyes, putting on an appearance of being incomparably obedient.
However, she also pouted her little mouth with effort, not opening her mouth to beg, desperately making hints.
Suo Lun sighed in his heart, bending down to give her a kiss on her little mouth, then got up and left.
Behind him, Fu Yan Er wrapped in her quilt, laughed out loud with excitement.
…
When he returned to Zhi Yan’s room, she was currently cultivating with her eyes closed.
And she was wearing her big red wedding dress, covered with her bridal veil while cultivating. This scene was truly somewhat unusual.
Hearing footsteps, Zhi Yan raised her head, saying, “Husband, you have come.”
Suo Lun said, “You, do you really like cultivating so much? I feel that since the great battle ended, you are either doing that sort of thing with me, or cultivating.”
Princess Zhi Yan said, “It is not that I like it, but that I am accustomed to it. I always feel that besides cultivating, there is nothing else to do.”
Suo Lun poured two cups of wine, handing one to Zhi Yan, holding one himself, about to drink it all in one go.
“Should it not be the nuptial cup?” Zhi Yan said, then proactively came forward to drink the nuptial cup with Suo Lun.
Suo Lun said, “Yan, over two years ago, I had them build a ship. A very large, very sturdy ship. If the situation deteriorates to the extreme, when everything cannot be salvaged, I will take my family onto this ship, fleeing far overseas.”
Princess Zhi Yan said, “Is this ship completed now?”
Suo Lun said, “It should be almost done.”
Princess Zhi Yan said, “When you say taking family, who are these family members?”
Suo Lun said, “Just family. Elder sister Suo Ning Bing, Yan Nai Er, Qin Qin, Fu Yan Er, Zhi Ning, Zhi Yu Bao Bao, Gui Qin Shao, and so on.”
“Am I included?” Princess Zhi Yan asked.
Suo Lun shook his head.
Princess Zhi Yan said, “Why? Am I not your family?”
“Yes.” Suo Lun said, “But you are very powerful and do not need my protection. If it truly reaches that time, I will entrust everything on the continent entirely to you.”
“No!” Princess Zhi Yan suddenly ripped off her bridal veil, staring at Suo Lun, saying, “I am your family. I am no different from Yan Nai Er, from Gui Qin Shao. I need you. If you say such things again in the future, I… I will fuck you to death!”
After saying these words of overwhelming dominance, Zhi Yan pressed Suo Lun onto the ground with one hand, then directly straddled his waist, fulfilling her promise.
…
Yan Du Holy Temple.
A group of flyers carried Fu Ling Xi, not knowing how long they flew, constantly flying toward the highest point of the sky.
They passed through the cloud layer, passed through the void, passed through bizarre and fantastical auras of light.
Suddenly, a floating giant rock appeared before her eyes.
That’s right, a floating giant rock, several thousand metres high, just floating alone in the air like this.
And within this giant rock, hollowed out and carved was a massive pavilion, impossible to tell how many floors it had.
Like jade towers and jade buildings imprinted in a fossil, with carved railings and jade inlays, breathtakingly beautiful.
Entering this hollowed-out, carved pavilion great hall, Fu Ling Xi felt incomparably vast.
Several dozen metres high, tens of thousands of square metres in breadth.
Moreover, upon the entire giant rock, who knew how many winged flyers were perched resting.
And within the incomparably vast hall, there was only one person, white clothes surpassing snow, with the demeanour of an immortal!
“Your Majesty, Fu Ling Xi has been brought!” the leader of the flyers said.
That immortal-like old man slowly walked before Fu Ling Xi, saying, “I am Ning Wu Ya!”
His voice was extremely gentle, making one feel absolute trust from hearing a single word.
And upon hearing this name, Fu Ling Xi’s body suddenly trembled.
Ning Wu Ya, the most transcendent, most mysterious, most powerful leader of the Sky Priests in the Sky Holy Temple.
He did not belong to the Light faction, nor did he belong to the Heretical Orthodox faction, but when the Sky Holy Temple faced great disagreement, he possessed the highest adjudication power.
If one had to describe his identity, he was equivalent to the great adjudicator of the entire human world at critical moments!
“There is a tube of Demon’s Tear inside your body.” Ning Wu Ya said.
“Yes.” Fu Ling Xi trembled, then bowed down, saying.
Ning Wu Ya said, “At this time, the high-level struggle within the Dragon God Holy Temple is extremely fierce, and you belong to the Ruling faction, the so-called Heretical Orthodox faction.”
“Yes.” Fu Ling Xi said.
Ning Wu Ya said, “No, you do not belong to the Heretical Orthodox faction, nor do you belong to the Light faction. You belong to the Demon Star Pavilion. You are a decoy we sent down to attract the World-Destroying Demon Emperor.”
Fu Ling Xi had a face full of confusion.
Ning Wu Ya said, “Of course, ten years ago your mission had already ended, so you changed your appearance. However, it was unexpected that in the end, it was still you, this decoy, who found the World-Destroying Demon Emperor.”
Fu Ling Xi was still confused, yet incomparably excited.
Ning Wu Ya said, “Only we of the Demon Star Pavilion never need to take sides, forever transcendent. Do you know why?”
Fu Ling Xi shook her head, saying, “I do not know.”
Ning Wu Ya said, “Because the sole target of our Demon Star Pavilion is the World-Destroying Demon Emperor! When the World-Destroying Demon Emperor has not appeared, our Demon Star Pavilion almost has no power whatsoever. And when the World-Destroying Demon Emperor appears, our Demon Star Pavilion possesses the highest power in the entire human world. Now the World-Destroying Demon Emperor has appeared, so we possess the highest adjudication power. So Fu Ling Xi, you are not a person of the Heretical Orthodox faction, but a person of the Demon Star Pavilion. Do you understand?”
“Understood.” Fu Ling Xi said excitedly.
Ning Wu Ya said, “From now on, we have the power to command anyone from the Heretical Orthodox faction, to command anyone from the Light faction. Do you understand?”
“Understood.” Fu Ling Xi trembled as she said.
Ning Wu Ya said, “Prepare yourself. Tomorrow, the flyers of the Demon Star Pavilion, the Sky Holy Knights, the Light faction elites, the Heretical Orthodox faction elites, will all come out in full force to capture the World-Destroying Demon Emperor!”
Fu Ling Xi kowtowed, saying, “I obey your command!”
“You have already obtained the Demon’s Tear. Then in your mind, do you have a specific person as a target for the World-Destroying Demon Emperor? Even if it is merely a conjecture?”
“Yes.” Fu Ling Xi said.
