When Donghuang Linger brought Gufeng back, he was already very old.
He was so old that when they appeared in front of the officials of the East Royal Dynasty, none of the officials were willing to accept this imperial husband who was old enough to be the Empress' grandfather.
Even though they knew that this old man with wrinkled skin and white hair and a crooked waist, in order to protect the entire Boundless World, he burned a large amount of his life force and forged the Dutian Blood Seal, which caused him to age prematurely.
His achievements were worthy of praise from the entire Boundless World. However, this didn't change the fact that the officials were unwilling to accept Gufeng.
"But Empress, you are the only bloodline of the East Royal Dynasty. If you are together with Lord Gufeng, the East Royal Dynasty will have no successor."
Donghuang Linger understood all of this. However, she still insisted that only Gufeng could be her imperial husband.
Gufeng silently looked at all of this and listened to it in his heart.
When night came …
"Linger, you should listen to the officials' suggestion and choose another imperial husband. I won't mind." Gufeng stared at the woman in front of him.
Donghuang Linger was only in her twenties.
She was beautiful in the first place, and after becoming the empress, she naturally had a natural beauty.
Gufeng was very grateful that Donghuang Linger was still willing to accept him.
Donghuang Linger remained silent. She only took over the basin of water from the palace maid and personally wiped Gufeng's face and body.
"Gufeng, do you still remember what you said to me when I was struck by Madam Chi Bi's soul snake?" While wiping, she said softly.
Gufeng was already very old. However, there were some things that were deeply engraved in his heart. Even if he were to die, he wouldn't forget it.
Naturally, he remembered what he had said himself.
In fact, Gufeng remembered every word that he said to Donghuang Linger.
Every word that he said to Donghuang Linger was unique. He wouldn't say it to anyone else a second time.
He said that if Donghuang Linger couldn't recover, he would take care of her for the rest of her life.
But now, everything had changed.
Donghuang Ling 'er had to take care of him for her entire life. She was still in the prime of her youth, how could he bear to let her be a widow for her entire life?
"Let me answer you. No matter what you become, I am willing to accompany you." Donghuang Linger's words did not move Gufeng. Instead, they angered him.
"However, I am not willing. I am not willing to be your imperial husband. I am also not willing to be judged by others and become a sinner of the Donghuang Dynasty." Gufeng swept the water basin onto the ground. This was the first time in his life that he was angry at Donghuang Ling 'er.
The water splashed all over the ground. Donghuang Linger silently squatted down.
"Empress …" Those palace maids were so scared that they hurriedly went to support Donghuang Ling 'er.
"Gufeng, I understand your concerns. Give me some time, I will definitely think of a way," Donghuang Linger said faintly.
Gufeng sighed. He hardened his heart and no longer paid attention to Donghuang Ling 'er.
Donghuang Ling 'er thought that Gufeng would slowly come to his senses. But who would've thought that from the second day onwards, Gufeng started not eating anything. He didn't even drink the medicine that she personally brewed.
Seeing Gufeng aging day by day, Donghuang Ling 'er helplessly turned to her good friend Yun Sheng for help.
"Ling 'er, you are still not willing to listen to my opinion. You came to the Eight Desolate Divine Realm to help me, a night fox." Yun Sheng looked at Donghuang Ling 'er's haggard appearance and felt very anxious. However, she also understood that Gufeng was doing this because he loved Donghuang Ling' er too much.
The two of them clearly loved each other. Yet, they were unable to be together. How could this not be a type of torture?
After she and Ye Beiming took care of the Eight Desolate Divine Realm, she had also invited Ling 'er and Gufeng to live in the Divine Realm together.
Ling 'er used the reason that Gufeng's body was unable to travel long distances and that she was worried about the Donghuang Dynasty as an excuse to reject Yun Sheng's good intentions.
"My answer is still the same. As the empress of the Donghuang Dynasty, I will always stay in the Eastern Capital. Yun Sheng, the reason why I called you here today is to ask if there is any way to let Gufeng live for a few more years. "Ling 'er knew that the reason why Gufeng didn't eat anything was to force her to compromise.
However, this time, she wasn't going to compromise.
In the past, for the sake of the Donghuang Dynasty, she let Gufeng stay in the Dutian Blood Imprint alone for many years. This time, she wasn't going to leave him alone.
"You really want to know? I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the Underworld God for this matter. " Yun Sheng was in a difficult position. Although she had already become a god and possessed heaven-defying medical skills, she was helpless for her friend Gufeng who was already very old.
"Why is it you again?" When Ming Ri saw Yun Sheng, he felt a headache coming. Every time this woman appeared, nothing good would happen.
"Underworld God, I'm the one who asked Yun Sheng to find you. I want to know if there's any way to let Gufeng live for a few more years. " Donghuang Linger also knew that her request was very difficult for Gu Feng. However, this was the only way she could make Gu Feng stay.
"Life and death are predestined, and lifespan is determined by the heavens. Even as the Underworld God, I'm helpless. "Ming Ri shook his head.
"Who says it's not possible? On a certain continent in the Mortal Realm, there's a spring called the Life Changing Spring. It might be able to help you." Bobo jumped out.
"Bobo, don't mess around. Your actions are equivalent to disrupting the order of the Mortal Realm and the Netherworld." When Ming Ri saw Bobo, he knew that something was going to happen again.
"Bobo, please tell me, what is the Life Changing Spring? Can it help me and Gufeng?" When Donghuang Ling 'er heard that there was still hope, her eyes lit up again.
"Eh, actually, I've only heard that after drinking the Life Changing Spring, you can exchange a part of your lifespan with others. However, the number of years you exchange will be the number of years you age overnight." Bobo looked at the young and beautiful Donghuang Ling 'er and said uneasily.
Any woman would want to stay young forever. Donghuang Ling 'er was no exception.
"Ling 'er, I can't. I can think of concocting some medicinal pills to help Gufeng." When Yun Sheng heard Bobo's words, she objected.
"Yun Sheng, you said it yourself. Gufeng's body can't even withstand ordinary medicinal pills. Bobo, please bring me to look for the Life Changing Spring. "Donghuang Ling 'er's gaze was firm as she made her decision without hesitation.
Donghuang Ling 'er, the greatest empress in the history of Donghuang Dynasty, her life was a legend.
Her friendship with her good friend, the Medical Buddha Yun Sheng, had always been seen as a legend in the Boundless Continent. However, the most legendary story in her life was the story between her and her imperial husband, Gufeng.
According to the legends, she and Gufeng met in a chaotic era. At that time, she was the princess of a declining dynasty and he was a trash magician who came from a mountain village.
Because of their identities and misunderstandings, the two of them had separated several times. However, in the end, the two of them still walked together.
However, at that time, her imperial husband, Gufeng's body was already very weak. Even the Medical Buddha Yun Sheng at that time said that her imperial husband might not live for more than a year.
However, even if that was the case, Donghuang Empress still rejected the opinions of everyone and got married to Gufeng.
On the second day after the Donghuang Empress got married, the Donghuang Empress became old overnight.
Some people said that she did it because of her imperial husband, Gufeng's illness, and some people said that she did it because of the busy imperial court. However, no matter how many rumors and public opinions were spread outside, the Donghuang Empress and her imperial husband were very loving.
The Donghuang Empress ascended the throne when she was 17 years old and passed away when she was 47 years old. On the same night after she passed away, her imperial husband, Gufeng, also passed away beside the Donghuang Empress. Even when the two of them died, their hands were still tightly held together.
The two of them didn't have any children. In the end, the Donghuang Dynasty was inherited by the Medical Buddha Yun Sheng's third son, Ye Lingguang.
There is a kind of happiness called holding your hand and growing old together with you.
There is also a kind of happiness called, for you, I am willing to grow gray hair early and grow old overnight.
That was the love legend that belonged to Donghuang Ling 'er and Gufeng.
