The place where the Guang family was placed under house arrest was actually not too far from the Heavenly Palace. Not long after Mei Niang returned to the Guang family and caused a ruckus in the Guang family, the dragon carriage had already arrived with Miao Yi and Guang Mei 'er.
Although the new house of the Guang family had not yet been completed, Mei Niang was very happy. The Sky Emperor accompanied her daughter back to her mother's house. This was a matter of face. Who would dare to question her daughter's position in the palace in the future? The only thing that made Lady Mei unhappy was Lord Guang, who was still in seclusion and refused to come out to greet the Celestial Emperor.
She was happy that Miao Yi could accompany her daughter back to her parents' home, but Gou Yue, who accompanied her to welcome them, felt a chill down his spine. Mei Niang didn't realize the danger that Niu Youde's visit would bring to the Guang Clan, but Gou Yue was well aware of the opened fangs. Once Niu Youde used this as a pretext to make a fuss, the Guang Clan would most likely have to bleed like a river and completely disappear from this world.
The Protector Army arrived first. They took control of the residence that the Guang Clan had reserved for Miao Yi before the dragon carriage descended. Miao Yi and Guang Mei 'er stepped down from the carriage.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Heavenly Consort." The Guang Family, led by Mei Niang, bowed in greeting.
Miao Yi swept his gaze across the crowd. He didn't see Lord Guang coming out to greet him, but his expression didn't change at all. He called for them to rise, and casually exchanged a few pleasantries with Mei Niang and the others who had come forward to answer him. He didn't mention Lord Guang either, and thus entered the Guang Residence.
That night, as expected, Guang Mei 'er slept with him.
In front of the dressing table, the handmaidens were removing Guang Mei 'er's headdress. Miao Yi, who was sitting beside the couch, had been staring at the dressing table. Suddenly, he waved his hand, and the handmaidens who hadn't finished their work hurriedly bowed and retreated, closing the door behind them before leaving.
Miao Yi stood up and walked behind Guang Mei 'er. His gaze met with Guang Mei' er's in the mirror. He personally raised his hand and slowly removed the accessories from Guang Mei 'er's bun. Guang Mei' er quietly watched his actions in the mirror.
"Your current state of mind is as calm as an ancient well. Do you still remember the first time we met? At that time, you almost married me. "Miao Yi suddenly chuckled.
Remember! Guang Mei 'er remembered the events of the past very clearly. The man in the mirror had caused her to toss and turn in her heart many times. She had looked forward to him many times. He was heroic and full of heroic spirit. The scene of him leading a group of remnant soldiers and shouting that they were going to massacre the city was still fresh in her memory. In the past, every time she saw him, her heart would beat like a deer, but now she no longer felt that way. Now, the man in the mirror made her feel afraid. Her family had warned her that this man could take the lives of her family at any time, so she had to fight for his favor and find a way to curry favor with him.
Her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall.
Guang Mei 'er shivered nervously. She saw the pair of hands in the mirror slowly opening the clothes on her shoulders. Her fair and delicate collarbone was revealed, and her shoulders were gradually peeled off. His hands didn't stop until the two peaks of his chest were completely exposed to the air. His hands, which seemed to possess supreme power and seemed to be able to kill everything, still didn't stop …
Three days! The next day, Miao Yi still didn't see the Duke of Guang coming to visit. Miao Yi told him that he would be staying in Guang Manor for three days.
Another day passed, and there was only one day left. Gou Yue couldn't hold it in any longer, and once again came to the closed room of Lord Guang.
Lord Guang was still like a living dead, quietly lying on the recliner, immersed in the dim light.
"Your Highness, Niu Youde said that he would only stay in Guang Manor for three days. He must have given you a deadline of three days to submit to him. For the sake of Guang Manor, you …" Gou Yue's expression was conflicted. He wanted to say something, but stopped himself. In the end, he couldn't say the words to make Lord Guang lower his head.
However, Lord Guang still didn't have any reaction.
In the end, Gou Yue lowered his head and bowed, then slowly turned around and left.
Who knew that when he reached the door, he would suddenly hear Lord Guang's voice transmission, "If I submit, as long as I don't die, he will kill the Guang Family sooner or later. If I don't submit, the Guang Family will be able to escape this calamity!"
Gou Yue suddenly turned around, pleasantly surprised. His Highness finally spoke. He quickly walked over and asked anxiously, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
However, Lord Guang only said this, and no matter how many times he asked, he didn't say a word.
In the end, Gou Yue could only quietly leave. However, with Lord Guang's words, he felt more assured. He knew that Lord Guang wouldn't speak without thinking.
Three days later, Miao Yi left as scheduled. He didn't bring Guang Mei 'er with him, saying that he wanted Guang Mei' er to stay a few more days at her maiden home.
And Lord Guang would rather die than see Miao Yi, so Miao Yi didn't do anything that would make Gou Yue worry …
A year later, after several discussions in the imperial court, the decision to grant amnesty to the world was finally finalized. The relevant heavenly laws were all drafted in detail, and officially announced to the world. The world was shocked!
Every cultivator who saw the announcement knew that the appearance of this heavenly law meant that the original rules of the world would be completely overturned. The Heaven Court would have absolute authority, and would be able to completely control everything in the world. No one would be able to easily escape from the restrictions of the heavenly law.
The ship drifted along with the waves of the blue sea. Inside the ship, there was a table of dishes, and two men were sitting and drinking. Bead curtains were rolled up on all four sides, and the vast blue sea and sky was a beautiful sight to behold.
Two women were sitting at a small table by the window, chatting. One of them was called Fang Susu. Miao Yi might know her, but he might not. It was too long ago, and that was already a matter of the small world.
The two men sitting and drinking were the husbands of the two women. They were both newly appointed lieutenants of the Heaven Court, and could be considered to be people with real military power. They were both from the Six Paths of Purgatory. Of course, there was no such thing as the Six Paths anymore. There was only the Heaven Court, and no other forces existed. The two of them were old friends back in Purgatory. This time, one of them had crossed the starry sky to come to the other's territory, so they could be considered meeting up with their old friends.
Taking a sip of wine, the man surnamed Zhao looked at the beautiful sea scenery around him, and couldn't help but sigh. "To be honest, when I was in Purgatory, I thought I would be trapped in that godforsaken place for the rest of my life. Even though the higher-ups kept saying that we would launch a counterattack, I didn't have much hope. Who would have thought that as soon as we left Purgatory, we would actually be able to turn the world upside down in a single battle, and reclaim the world! I really didn't think that we would still be able to leisurely drink here. Now that I think about it, it still feels like a dream. Sometimes, it even feels surreal. The imprint that Purgatory left in my memories is too deep. "
The other man surnamed Gao nodded, and asked, "Pardon the World, how are the people coming over to register as immortals?"
The man surnamed Zhao replied, "There are a lot of people, but it's a little troublesome. Everyone who comes to register has to have their identity verified, and they have to report their permanent address that they can contact. If they want to change their permanent address, they have to report it to the local Mountain God and Earth God. It's a little troublesome for us, and it's the same for those who come to register. Are there a lot of people coming to register on your side? "
The man surnamed Gao sighed, "It would be strange if there weren't a lot. With His Majesty's actions, those who don't register as immortals will be treated as rebels and punished severely. They won't even have the qualifications to collect and trade cultivation resources. In the future, they will have to show proof of their immortal status in any transaction. Once discovered, anyone who violates this will be severely punished, regardless of whether they are the buyer or the seller. Without an immortal status to prove their identity, it will be troublesome to even walk freely in the starry sky.
The man surnamed Zhao said, "That 'Heavenly Tribulation' law … I'm afraid the cultivators in the future will have a hard time."
The man surnamed Gao said, "His Majesty clearly wants to control the number of cultivators in the world. Otherwise, if the world is unified and there are no more wars, the number of cultivators will continue to increase, and the cultivation resources will be limited. If he doesn't control it, something will happen sooner or later. It's just that those who go through the Heavenly Tribulation in the future will probably die. "
The man surnamed Zhao held his wine cup and asked, "I heard that there are rumors in the imperial court that there will be a division of civil and military positions. Many people will be dismissed, and they will be demoted to civil officials."
The happy man smiled bitterly and said, "I just don't know if we'll be the ones to be dismissed. Oh right, I heard that His Majesty wants to conquer the Astral Unknown, and is preparing to mobilize a third of the world's forces to scout the Astral Unknown. The armies of the world will take turns to carry out this task. I wonder if that's true. If it's true, I'm afraid we won't be able to live a peaceful life. "
The man surnamed Zhao said, "There must be a reason for this. Besides, there are no wars in the world. It's not hard to understand why the Heavenly Court would find something for us to do."
Even though she was chatting with her sisters by the window, she couldn't help but overhear the conversation between her husband and her friends. When she heard the two of them mentioning Miao Yi, Fang Susu stared at the blue ocean outside in a daze. She didn't hear a single word from her sisters.
When she was in Purgatory, she still harbored that ridiculous idea of fighting for her honor. However, Purgatory lacked women, and most women were pressured into marrying someone else. She was one of the rare few who would rather die than marry. However, Purgatory's control was very strict, and resources weren't plentiful. Not to mention, there was a lack of opportunities for advancement. Even if she wanted to work hard, it was useless. As time passed, her faith finally began to waver. Because she couldn't see hope anymore, she was finally moved by her husband's persistent pursuit and married him.
She thought she would be trapped in Purgatory for the rest of her life, but who knew that the gates to Purgatory would open the second year after she married him. The army actually left Purgatory to attack the Spiritual Mountain!
At the time, she was filled with indescribable regret. Why couldn't she have persevered a little longer? After persevering for so many years, she couldn't even persevere in the final year. It was as if the heavens were playing a huge joke on her.
However, after witnessing the cruelty of the war and finding out the true identity of that person in the outside world, she suddenly realized that she was so far away from that person. It wasn't just the distance between them! His power was monstrous. He took thousands of concubines in one go. Hundreds of millions of lives fell under his command. Countless people died because of him. His terrifying means were unscrupulous in order to succeed. He even destroyed her adoptive father's entire Kou Family. He was cruel and merciless!
She felt as if she had just woken up from a dream. She suddenly realized that the person in front of her was very different from the heroic young man in her impression. He didn't make her heart beat like a deer. Instead, he gave her a strong feeling of coldness and ruthlessness. When she heard his name, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. In the past, she wanted to see him, but now she was afraid to see him.
Perhaps she was thinking too much. He lived deep in the Heavenly Palace. How could anyone see him just because they wanted to?
The scene where the embroidered ball was thrown from the embroidery building; the scene where she chased after him on horseback; the scene where the weeping willows by the river were drizzling; the scene where he stood valiantly at the bow of the boat with an oil-paper umbrella in his hand and looked back. The scene in the misty rain was like a painting … Fang Susu, who was looking at the blue sea outside the window, smiled.
"Sister Fang, are my words very funny?"
The woman beside her couldn't help but ask when she saw her laughing. Fang Susu quickly came back to her senses. She grabbed the woman's hand and shook her head. She couldn't stop laughing, but she didn't explain.
She turned back to look at her husband who was chatting with his friends. The scenes with that person were indeed beautiful. However, it was just her imagination. Noble people often forget things. She was afraid that the person in front of her didn't even remember who she was. The real person in front of her was actually quite good. He always loved and protected her, so she didn't feel unsatisfied.
