Inside the living room.
Su Lingyun and Gu Xiaoxue had stopped talking. Their cultivation was not weak, so they could clearly hear the conversation outside the door. Gu Xiaoxue even recognized two familiar voices from their voices. They were Kuwako Yamamoto and Viviani.
Creak …
The door was gently knocked twice before it was pushed open from the outside. When Kuwako and Viviani appeared at the door, Su Lingyun had already stood up with a bright smile on her elegant face. After the two women came to her, she smilingly said, "I've heard your conversation. You two are good children with good conditions and aren't worse than them. I'm really happy for Xiu that you two like Xiu. "
"Auntie …"
Kuwako opened her mouth, but she couldn't finish her words due to the shyness inside.
Su Lingyun gently held the two women's hands and smilingly said, "You don't need to say anything. I already know what you're thinking. Just change the way you address me in the future, just like them! Call me Mom. "
"This …"
Kuwako and Viviani exchanged glances and finally called her Mom.
"Since you've changed the way you address me, then you're Su Lingyun's daughters-in-law from now on," said Su Lingyun with a satisfied smile. "I won't discriminate against you, nor do I have any intention to differentiate between countries. From now on, you're the Empress of the Great Tang Empire. "
After saying that …
She released the hands of the two women, picked up the register, and wrote down their names.
After a while …
Only then did the two women leave with satisfaction.
Su Lingyun looked at the two women's backs as they left and closed the door from the outside. Then, she turned to Gu Xiaoxue and smilingly said, "Xiaoxue, Xiu is blessed to be able to get the favor of excellent girls like you. You can rest assured that I'll teach him a lesson if he bullies you in the future."
Gu Xiaoxue seemed to have found a backer all of a sudden. She chuckled and nodded. "We'll follow Tan Xiu well, Mom."
In the blink of an eye.
Su Lingyun and Gu Xiaoxue had been in the living room for three hours. In the end, because no more women came, they left.
In the forest under the moonlight.
Kang Xia was quietly leaning on the tree with her arms crossed in front of her chest. There was a faint smile on her beautiful face. Next to her, Tan Xiu sat cross-legged on a large bluestone. His eyes were filled with a complicated expression.
"You don't seem very happy?"
Kang Xia retracted her gaze from the direction of the palace and turned to look at Tan Xiu with a beaming smile.
"Do you think I should be happy?" Tan Xiu forced a smile. There were too many emotional debts, and he really didn't know how to repay them in the future. The most helpless thing is that my mother is really playing the zither. What register? What's the difference between this and the ancient emperors? "
Kang Xia giggled and said, "The Great Tang Empire has been established, so he's also the ruler of a country. Is there any difference between him and the ancient emperors?"
Tan Xiu rolled his eyes and snappily said, "Of course there's a difference. The difference is too big. The ancient people were feudal, and men were superior to women. Any man with a bit of ability wanted to have a group of wives and concubines. Generations of emperors even had three palaces and six courtyards with 72 concubines. But what kind of ideology do we accept? What era are we living in? Marrying so many women, won't we be tired to death in the future? "
Pfft …
Kang Xia laughed and scolded, "You're really taking advantage of me."
"I really don't want to take advantage of you," Tan Xiu said helplessly.
Kang Xia put away her smile and seriously said, "Can't you see that this Venerable Mother is helping you solve your emotional problems? She knows that you're going to do something big, so she wants to cut the Gordian knot and sort out all your emotional problems. As long as the women who like you and care about you don't despise you for having other women, this Venerable Mother is willing to help you take them into your harem. If there are women who care about you, then she will directly help you eliminate them. "
Tan Xiu was wise and farsighted. How could he not see this situation? This was also the reason why he finally agreed with his mother and just watched from the side.
But!
What's going on with Andy?
What's going on with Tang An?
There's also Gong Wan 'er, Viviani, and Kuwako Yamamoto. The most important thing was that even Gu Xiaoxue also joined in. Wasn't this just playing the zither without rhyme or reason?
Suddenly …
Tan Xiu turned to look at Kang Xia and asked, "Don't tell me you really don't mind?"
Kang Xia shook her head and said, "It's absolutely a lie if I say I don't mind. Everyone has their own selfish motives, especially when it comes to their partner. But I'm well aware that you're too dazzling and brilliant, and it's impossible for me to fully possess you. Therefore, even if it's bitter and sour, even if I'm unwilling, I can only endure it and settle for the next best thing. I hope that I can occupy a place in your heart when I don't want to let go. I'm like this, and I'm afraid they're also the same. "
Tang Xiu gently raised his hand as a stream of qi wrapped around Kang Xia. She didn't have the slightest resistance as he pulled her into his arms. He raised his hand and gently stroked her soft hair. With a bit of guilt in his tone, Tang Xiu said, "I'm sorry."
"You don't need to apologize to me or anyone else." Kang Xia shook her head. "This is our choice, and it has nothing to do with you. However, besides being your woman, I also want to be your medicine. "
"What do you mean?"
Tan Xiu's hand stopped and a puzzled look appeared on his handsome face.
Kang Xia gently leaned on Tan Xiu's chest and softly said, "I know the wound in your heart, so I want to turn myself into a medicine to heal it. If … I mean, if, you still can't let it go, then go find her. I know that she's too heavy in your heart. Even if there are more than a dozen of us, we're not as heavy as her in your heart. "
Tan Xiu's expression turned cold. He shook his head and said, "Kang Xia, I already know the situation at that time. In fact, the moment she attacked me, my love for her was already gone. There's only hatred left. Besides, I've already told her very clearly that she's her and I'm me from now on. We'll never contact each other again. We'll never have any connection with each other again. "
Kang Xia raised her head and stared at Tan Xiu's eyes with her bright eyes. She then said word by word, "How can there be hatred without love? Your heart is too soft, especially when it comes to your former love. You simply can't let it go. Else, you wouldn't have thought about revenge, nor would you have thought about establishing a force to fight your way back to the Immortal World. Do you know what I like about you the most? "
"What?"
Tan Xiu's brows deeply furrowed, but he didn't explain.
"It's your kindness," said Kang Xia. "But the most important part of your kindness is your soft-heartedness. If you really hated her, you would've pierced her heart with a sword and reaped her life when you figured out the reason behind it. You would've made her soul scatter and disappear from your heart forever. "
Was that so?
A blank expression appeared on Tan Xiu's face. The complicated expression in his eyes turned more and more intense as his thoughts drifted. He didn't want to admit it, but he was perfectly aware that there was still a trace of … something he couldn't let go of.
Thousands of years of feelings and all the beautiful things in the past seemed to have been branded in his heart. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't erase that memory, nor could he erase the imprint in his heart.
"I'm going back to China after some time."
Tan Xiu suddenly spoke.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" asked Kang Xia.
"No need." Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm going back to China to relieve my boredom. On the other hand, I want to see the scale of the base established in China. There's not much I can do, but I still hope to see Earth's people have the ability to protect themselves when they encounter a formidable enemy in the future. "
"I know something about the base in China," said Kang Xia. "Duanmu Lin is now personally presiding over it. Along with the crazy operation of the country's machinery, a large number of resources are continuously transported there, and the progress is very good. Our Magnificent Tang Corporation has spent tens of billions of US dollars to aid the country last year. If my guess is correct, the first interstellar battleship should be completed soon. "
"What about the confidentiality aspect?" asked Tan Xiu.
"The security measures are very perfect," said Kang Xia. "Each army group has drawn out their elites and established the Shadow Guard, which is spread to almost every corner of China. Coupled with our intelligence organization's secret observation and assistance, the matter of the secret base in China has not been noticed by other countries. However, the competition between China and other countries in the world has become more intense in the past three years. Especially after the Aeroglider was listed on the market, the high-tech technology has been targeted by all countries in the world, including our Magnificent Tang Corporation. "
"Actually, I've already expected it," said Tan Xiu.
"Although China and the rest of the world are in a fierce struggle, the cultivation forces of other countries are very afraid of China's cultivators, especially after the Celestial Wizard Clan was completely annihilated by our Tang Sect," said Kang Xia. "They're a bit scared. "That's why the intelligence agents who sneak into our country are very low-key and generally not very strong."
"As the saying goes, it's difficult for two tigers to live on the same mountain," said Tan Xiu. "It's actually not in line with common sense that there are more than 200 countries on this small Earth. It's not in line with the law of survival of advanced civilizations. What I can do is to make China stronger and become the most powerful country in the world in the future, so that it can dominate the fate of humanity on Earth in the future. If the people in power in Huaxia are far-sighted and broad-minded in the future, they will be able to disregard the differences in nationality and race. They will be able to form a brand-new power system and finally integrate all the humans on Earth together, creating a solid advanced civilization system. "
"Are we really not coming back in the future?" asked Kang Xia after hesitating for a moment.
"We'll come back, but it won't be very soon," said Tan Xiu. "It may be hundreds of years, thousands of years, or tens of thousands of years. We can't tell what will happen in the future. "
