After the wedding ceremony, Xu Qianqian's emotions calmed down a bit.
At this time, there were still six days before Shen Lang's final battle with Jiang Li.
The next day, Shen Lang and Xu Qianqian strolled through Xuanwu City. Most of the buildings here had been destroyed, and all of them had been rebuilt. They were completely in line with the style of the new energy civilization.
The only thing that hadn't changed was the Kim family's Duke Xuanwu Residence.
The two of them walked from Xuanwu City to the Duke's Residence.
"The previous world was still better," Xu Qianqian suddenly said.
Shen Lang asked, "Why?"
Xu Qianqian said, "The previous world was a bit freer. We could do anything we wanted, and we could achieve great things. In this world, everyone has to fight for a mission. Apart from a few, everyone else seems to have lost their value, like a part of a machine. "
No wonder Xu Qianqian sighed. She was a merchant, and in this world, whether it was the Da Qian Empire or the Jiang Li Empire, there was no longer any room for merchants.
Because all the living materials were distributed, almost everyone had their own tasks, and everyone had to obey orders. Not a single bit of energy could be wasted, and not a single bit of productivity could be wasted.
Therefore, everyone was really like a part of a giant machine. They really felt like screws.
"After I was captured, I was sealed in ice. I've never seen Mulan or Chou Yao 'er. I'm sorry," Xu Qianqian said softly.
"It's nothing," Shen Lang said.
Then, he walked back to his courtyard and stood in front of the list of enemies. He looked at the only name on it: Jiang Li.
After a moment of hesitation, he erased this name.
"What? Have you let go of your hatred? "Xu Qianqian asked.
"No." Shen Lang said, "If I win the decisive battle this time, then this enemy of mine will be dead. But if I lose, then there's no point in leaving this enemy's name here. "
Xu Qianqian said, "Shenlang, do you know what the advantage of a lunatic is?"
Shen Lang: "What?"
Xu Qianqian said, "He has this crazy intuition, and he doesn't need to take responsibility for his words."
Shen Lang: "Tell me about it."
Xu Qianqian said, "I think you can come back alive."
She was very serious when she said this. She stared at Shen Lang for a while and then looked away.
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Thank you for your auspicious words."
… …
There were still three days until Shen Lang's final battle with Jiang Li!
"Your Majesty, all the hydrogen bombs have been manufactured." Grand Secretary Twain said, "You said that a hundred would be enough, but we made a total of five hundred."
Five hundred hydrogen bombs, all of which were in the class of ten million tons (the explosive power was equivalent to fifty million tons of TNT).
This power was unparalleled, and it could really wipe out a country from the face of the earth.
Once these five hundred hydrogen bombs exploded in the North Pole.
Millions of square kilometers of the North Pole would be swallowed by endless flames.
It could melt countless hell crystals and create an energy vacuum of more than a few hundred thousand square kilometers.
It was more than enough to suppress the hell crystals.
Each hydrogen bomb weighed more than twenty tons, so five hundred would be ten thousand tons.
There probably wasn't any Sky Fortress in the world that could carry such a heavy load. If they wanted to bring these hydrogen bombs to the North Pole, they would need at least a hundred giant Sky Fortresses.
However, the North Pole was Jiang Li's territory. There were astronomical hell crystals there, and the Great Qian Empire's Sky Fortresses would be destroyed before they could fly there.
Therefore, these five hundred hydrogen bombs had to be handed over to one Dragon Belt.
Shen Yilong!
It grinned again and looked at the mountain of hydrogen bombs, a total of ten thousand tons.
It wouldn't have a problem bringing them to the North Pole, but it was a bit awkward.
Because it needed to completely swallow these hydrogen bombs into its stomach before flying to the North Pole.
Ji Longer also wanted to go to the North Pole to fight, but Shen Lang couldn't bring her along. The level of this great battle was too high, and Ji Longer didn't have the baptism of a high-level dragon's comprehension, so she probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"Yilong, give it a try." Shen Lang said.
Shen Yilong looked at his master helplessly, then roared at Ji Longer, which meant, "Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave, I can't let you see my embarrassing scene."
Ji Longer still stood there foolishly, excitedly waiting to watch the show.
Shen Yilong stepped forward, hooked his tail around Ji Longer's neck, and directly dragged him away. This time, he flew thousands of miles away.
In short, I can't let this female dragon see my embarrassing scene.
After chasing Ji Longer away, Shen Yilong's body suddenly expanded, and once again soared into the sky, boundless.
He opened his huge dragon mouth and sucked in, directly swallowing the five thousand hydrogen bombs into his stomach.
In just a second, it was all done.
Moreover, from the outside, Shen Yilong didn't seem to have changed at all, nor did he have the bloated feeling of a python swallowing a sheep.
"Not bad, not bad, not bad …" Shen Lang clapped and said, "In three days, we will go to the North Pole like this."
"Clap clap clap …" After Shen Lang finished clapping, there was actually applause.
Shen Yilong's eyes looked towards the source of the applause like lightning. In the end, he realized that it was Da Chao, who was looking at him fawningly and clapping his claws with all his might.
What does it have to do with you? Why are you here to watch the show?
Shen Yilong wanted to roar and intimidate him, but forget it. Why should he lower himself to the level of a silly bird?
Shen Lang: "Alright, Yilong, you can spit it out first. You can swallow it in three days."
Shen Yilong shook his head. Since he had swallowed it, he should just keep it in his stomach. It would be even more embarrassing if he spat it out and then swallowed it again three days later.
It suddenly descended from the sky and burrowed into the sea, using the seawater to completely hide its body.
In any case, it wouldn't show itself before setting off for the North Pole.
… ….
The second last day before Shen Lang set off for the North Pole!
There was a small meeting in the Privy Council of the Great Qian Empire.
"I know, I have disappeared many times, but in the end, I came back alive." Shen Lang: "Especially the drastic change in the North Pole more than 30 years ago. Everyone thought I was dead, but in the end, I came back alive."
All the important officials quietly listened to Shen Lang and didn't say anything.
Shen Lang: "In the past, I was like a toddler learning to walk. There was always an adult behind me, protecting and supporting me at all times. At critical moments, they would even sacrifice their lives to save me. Even though they didn't appear at all times, and all of you never knew of their existence. "
When Shen Lang said these words, the silhouettes of several people appeared in his mind.
The ancient Queen, the ancient Wisdom King, the Mother of Dragons, Queen Medusa, the Prophet of Chaos.
"However, they have all been completely sacrificed. Thus, there will no longer be anyone who will save me at the critical moment," Shen Lang said calmly. "This time, I will have to completely rely on myself in the decisive battle against Jiang Li."
"What I mean by this is, between me and Jiang Li, only one of us can survive this battle. If I don't come back, then there will be no more miracles, "Shen Lang:" When that time comes, all of you will have to accept this reality. "
Everyone's expression became extremely solemn.
"Of course, I have said that if I win, the future will follow my own path. If I lose, then this world will be completely handed over to Jiang Li. I have tried my best, "Shen Lang:" When that time comes, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I will no longer be able to control the affairs of this world. When that time comes, what will all of you do? "
Shen Lang looked at Pavilion Master Zuo Ci: "Listen to my advice, living is more important than anything else. As long as you are alive, there will be hope."
Immediately, Zhu Hongxue said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, don't say such words. You will definitely win. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. Of course, if even you fail, then I will also walk on the path of ashes to ashes, dust to dust. "
Shen Lang said with a smile, "Usually, the ugly words are said first. So, of course, I have to say the worst case scenario. So, I only have one hope for all of you. Even if I don't return in the final battle, all of you must work hard to survive. "
"Of course …" Shen Lang smiled: "Even if Jiang Li's strength is more than ten thousand times that of mine, I might still be able to win this battle. Forever full of hope for the future, this is the naivety of our Da Qian Empire. "
"That's it, meeting adjourned!"
… …..
On the last day of Shen Lang's battle with Jiang Li at the North Pole.
On this day, the whole family only had one mission. Teach the little lass Shen Nannan how to make ice cream, then make a sumptuous dinner.
From day to night, the whole family put down everything and just stayed together.
The whole family went to work. Even the busiest scientist, Gregory, was dragged over. He also brought along the liquid nitrogen from his laboratory. Could it be that ice cream without liquid nitrogen was imperfect?
Gregory was beating eggs at this moment. His gaze and expression looked as if he had nothing left to live for. He could even hear the sound of his heart breaking.
Every minute and every second that was wasted, if they were used for experiments, if they were used for thinking, how good would that be?
Now, you actually want me to beat eggs? What a waste of life!
"It's been five years, have you gone home once?" Shelley asked, "Son, this is the first time we've seen each other for such a long time in these five years, right?"
Gregory said, "If I remember correctly, we've eaten together thirty-five times."
Shelley said, "I've delivered food to your laboratory thirty-five times, and thirty-four times, you've treated me as your assistant."
"Oh …" Gregory was once again scared out of his wits. He stirred the egg yolk mechanically, but his brain was starting to construct a new crystal brain structure.
"Give it to me, silly." Shelley took the egg bowl and finally freed Gregory's hands.
Then, he stood alone in the middle of the kitchen, completely at a loss.
Shen Lang was carving the fruits and marinating the venison steak himself. Steak didn't need to be marinated, but the venison steak had to be marinated. Otherwise, it wouldn't taste good. After finishing, Shen Lang wiped his hands with a scarf like a housewife.
Then, he looked at Princess Ning Han and Xu Qianqian.
These two women, one was staring blankly at the vegetables, and the other was staring blankly at the fish.
"May I ask, how should I wash this vegetable? Should I eat the leaves or the stem?" Ning Han asked embarrassedly, "Should I remove the leaves or the stem?"
Xu Qianqian said, "Oh right, how should I kill this fish?"
Alright, these two women didn't know how to cook. Jin Mulan didn't know how to either, and neither did Ning Yan. Xiao Bing was the only one in the family who knew how to cook, and she was very good at it. It was a pity that she wasn't here.
Shen Lang looked at the two women helplessly and said, "Uh, out of all the people in our family, am I the only one who knows how to cook?"
"Me too!" Shelley raised her hand.
"Me too …" Princess Shen Mi raised her hand.
Shen Lang had no choice but to help Ning Han wash all the vegetables. Then, he helped Xu Qianqian slaughter all the fish.
"Leave the rest to us," Shelley said. "Little Mi and I will make these dishes. The ice cream is done anyway."
It wasn't just done. They were almost finished. Shen Nannan, the fat girl, ate every ice cream she made. She didn't know why, but the ice cream she made was especially delicious.
"You've already eaten your fill. Don't blame us if you can't eat anything delicious later," Ning Han warned.
Shen Nannan stuck out her tongue. The dishes were delicious, but that was a matter of the future. Right now, the ice cream was still the best.
Shen Lang brought two glasses of wine to Gregory. He was still standing there in a daze. After leaving the lab, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. If he wasn't told to go somewhere else, he could stand there until the sky turned dark.
"Come out and sit," Shen Lang said.
"Oh, thank you, Dad." He followed behind Shen Lang and came to the balcony.
The father and son sat on the deck chairs on the balcony. Shen Lang passed a glass of wine to him.
Gregory instinctively took it and drank a big gulp like he was drinking coffee. Then, he shuddered.
What … what was this? This was his first time drinking. It was his first time drinking in his thirties.
He couldn't hold his liquor well. He was half drunk after drinking.
"Wow, this thing is a devil. I must not touch it. It will kill my wisdom and my time," Gregory said, but he took another big gulp after saying that.
Shen Lang said, "But artists like it."
Gregory said, "Artists need to be crazy, but we scientists need to be rational."
Shen Lang said, "I'm a crazy person, but Jiang Li is a rational person."
Gregory said, "Not necessarily. I think Jiang Li is even crazier than you, but he's crazy to the extreme. He's like a rational person. A complete lunatic is usually quiet. "
Alcohol was indeed a strange thing. It made Gregory say such a thing. Otherwise, he wouldn't talk about anything other than science.
Gregory had never met Jiang Li, nor had he interacted with him, but he seemed to know him well.
Shen Lang said, "Do you care about what I said to you last time?"
Gregory said, "Marriage, is it? I've been looking, but unfortunately, there are too few people who are worthy of me. "
Huh? He was so shy before, but now, after drinking, his tone became wild.
However, Shen Lang understood what he meant. When he said that she was worthy, it was not about her background, nor was it about her beauty or figure. It was purely about her intelligence.
Shen Lang asked, "Will you get married because of love?"
"Love?" Gregory said, "Is it because of the strong resonance and attraction between the two of us on the same research project? Then we have to get married. A marriage like that is more than one plus one equals two. We can have a super scientific cremation. "
Well, fine, if you think it's love, that's fine. Shen Lang's family was big enough to accept any child, even if the child was a little strange.
"Dad, can I have another drink?" Gregory asked.
Shen Lang took the bottle and poured him another glass.
Gregory drank a third of it and said, "This is the devil. You can't touch it in the future. You can't touch it."
Then he drank another third. Is the truth really the truth of mankind?
Very soon, the second glass of wine was finished.
Gregory suddenly looked at Shen Lang seriously and said, "Father, I'm very, very grateful to you and mother for giving birth to me, allowing me to have such a wonderful life. It's as if I can bloom with the charm of my life every second."
Did a scientist become a poet after drinking?
Shen Lang poured him another cup, and then the father and son clinked their cups.
"I have many sons. Your brother, Shen Ye, is very outstanding. He's almost the most perfect heir to the empire. He's my pride." Shen Lang said, "Now, you're also one of my greatest pride. In the future, your contribution to the world will be no less than your brother's, if not even greater. One day, someone will say that I'm Gregory's father. Not that you're my son and I'll be proud of you in the future. "
Gregory drank another big gulp.
Then, he lay on the table and didn't move. He was completely drunk.
"Dad, you have to come back alive. You have to come back alive. Otherwise, we won't have a future. "The drunk Gregory cried as he lay on the table.
He had never cried before in his life. Of course, he had never been drunk.
Indigo rubbed his head and returned to the kitchen. It should be time for him to cook.
… …
Following that, the family enjoyed a harmonious meal.
Gregory was still drunk on the sofa, snoring loudly.
Shen Nannan sat on her dad's lap angrily. She regretted it so much.
If she had known that there would be so many delicious dishes today, she wouldn't have eaten so much ice cream. Now that her stomach was full, she couldn't eat any of the delicious food.
When her mother, Ning Han, saw this, she only said, "Serves you right!"
Sigh, they really are biological children!
"To Grandpa and Grandma."
"To Grandpa Ning Yuanxian, Grandpa and Grandma."
"To Mom, Aunty, Big Brother, Big Sister, Little Sister."
The family chatted and drank the wine with low alcohol content.
Hearing the clinking of glasses, Gregory suddenly sat up and raised the glass in front of him. "To Dad, to the world, to the future."
Then, he drank it in one gulp.
"This is the devil. You can't drink it. You can't drink it …" Then, he slumped on the sofa and fell asleep.
Shen Lang said, "Yao Yao, take out the drawing board and draw today's scene."
Yao Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and took out the drawing board.
She drew very quickly and very well.
In less than half an hour, the entire painting was finished. It was a colorful painting.
It was the scene of Shen Lang's family eating, including Gregory, who was snoring loudly, and Shen Nannan, who was sitting in Shen Lang's arms and watching the adults eat. Of course, it also included himself, the one who was drawing.
And what was even more mysterious was that while Yao Yao was drawing, the painting within the painting was also Shen Lang's family eating.
There was painting within painting, painting within painting, as if it was going to go on forever.
Then, Yao Yao gave this painting a name.
"An Ordinary Family Dinner."
Yes, it was an ordinary dinner, not the last dinner.
In order to completely eliminate the meaning of the last dinner, she created a painting within a painting. If it went on endlessly, it meant that the meal would never be finished.
It meant that Dad would definitely be able to come back safely.
After the meal, they had dessert and ice cream.
At this time, Shen Nannan felt that her stomach was a little digested and she was a little hungry. But she had finished all the delicious food just now. It was so infuriating.
The family chatted about the most trivial things.
They didn't mention a word about national affairs. They didn't mention a word about the final battle that Shen Lang was about to carry out.
"Dong, dong, dong, dong …"
The bell rang ten times. It was ten o 'clock at night. Shen Nannan was already dozing off.
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Okay, it's almost time for today. I'm leaving!"
"You're leaving now?" Ning Han said.
"Come back early," Shelley said.
It was as if Shen Lang was just going on a long trip and not to carry out some final battle that would decide the fate of the world.
"Okay, you guys sleep early too." Shen Lang got up and waved at his family.
There were no instructions or solemn words of farewell.
"Say goodbye to Dad," Ning Han said.
"Goodbye, Dad." Shen Nannan's eyes were hazy. She waved her hand in a daze, then hugged her mother's neck and fell asleep.
Shen Lang left the Paradise Manor.
"Dragon, it's time to go," Shen Lang said.
The giant dragon suddenly rushed out of the sea, but it didn't make any sound or make any big splashes.
It was very stable to enter the diving team.
Shen Lang sat cross-legged on the north side of the giant dragon and slowly flew out of Raging Tide City.
On the sea surface, all the sea monsters of the Lost Empire floated out. The Lost Monster Mother led hundreds of thousands of sea monsters and knelt down neatly.
In Raging Tide City, everyone in the Great Qian Empire's secretariat and the Privy Council knelt down neatly.
More than a million people knelt down silently.
No one shouted "Long live".
Everyone prayed in their hearts that His Majesty Shen Lang would be able to return one day.
This was the ultimate battle. If His Majesty won, they would still have a future.
If His Majesty lost, everything in front of him would be reduced to ashes.
Gone, gone.
Shen Lang rode the giant dragon and headed north, flying towards the North Pole.
Behind him, Ji Long 'er kept chasing after him.
"Go back, go back!" Shen Lang said.
Ji Long 'er stopped in place for a while, but not long after, he caught up again, but followed far behind.
"Go back, go back!" Shen Lang and Shen Yilong said in unison.
After driving him away five times, Ji Long 'er reluctantly left.
Shen Lang and his dragon flew above the Nine Heavens towards the North Pole with five hundred hydrogen bombs.
They were rushing to the ultimate battle with Jiang Li!

Note: My daughter is going to primary school. I'll take her out to play during the summer vacation. I'll be outside for the next few days, and I'll be on my way tomorrow. Therefore, the next chapter will be tomorrow night. Please understand. Thank you, everyone!
