Xu Shilin was a literary star who had descended to the mortal world.
After his grievances were cleared,
The Emperor restored his scholarly title.
His identity as Zhuang Yuan Lang.
With Siyang as the prerequisite, when he accepted his conferment, he also asked the Emperor for a favor, which was an imperial edict.
He asked the True Dragon of the mortal world to report to the Heavenly Court.
He asked the gods in the sky to let go of Bai Suzhen, who was suppressed under Leifeng Pagoda.
The Emperor had already known about Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing more than ten years ago because of Liang Wangye. Now, he was even more curious about them.
He also knew that the top scorer was actually the son of the White Snake. According to rumors, he was a literary star who had descended to the mortal world.
He was extremely surprised.
However, there were many strange people in the world. The Emperor could be considered a wise ruler. He agreed to Xu Xian's request and gave him the imperial edict.
After receiving the imperial edict, Xu Xian returned to Zhenjiang and kowtowed to Leifeng Pagoda to save his mother.
Siyang, who stayed in the capital, brought the Demon King to Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian's wedding. Ning Caichen was third in the imperial examination, and then he was chosen by the Prime Minister as his son-in-law.
And this young lady of the Prime Minister's family.
It was Nie Xiaoqian, who had reincarnated in someone else's body.
"Sob sob …" It's really not easy. "Shi'er drank the wedding wine.
Sitting at the side, he couldn't help but wipe his tears.
The corner of Siyang's mouth twitched a few times.
The Demon King looked at him coldly. He sat between Siyang and Shi'er, and this person sat next to him. However, other than frowning, he didn't say anything else.
"It's really not easy for the two of them to continue this relationship." Siyang took a sip of the wine in his cup. He thought of something and raised his eyebrows slightly. He tilted his head and looked at Shi'er. "By the way, what about you and Ah Xiu?"
Ah Xiu was the girl that Shi'er met when he was a teenager. The two of them had a hazy relationship, but fate made fools of people. Ah Xiu was married off to a faraway place by her father. Along the way, the Ghost King snatched the bride away, causing her and Shi'er to be separated by death and life.
Shi 'er's hand paused, and some wine spilled out. His eyes showed a look of reminiscence. Young love, after all, was not fated.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh, raised his cup, and drained it in one gulp. "In this life, I can only follow my master to pursue the Great Dao. As for her … she will live a very good life."
After the wedding, the Siyang couple parted ways with Shi 'er in the capital city. Shi' er continued to wield his sword to conquer the world, slay demons, and travel around to cultivate. After this parting, who knew how long it would be before they met again.
Before he left, Siyang gave him a black wooden tablet.
"Isn't this …" Shi 'er carefully glanced at the Demon King. He still remembered that when they went to the Netherworld to snatch the bride away, Siyang had taken them underground with this black wooden tablet.
This black wooden tablet was not the one that Siyang had given him. According to the Demon King's narrow-mindedness, if he really gave it to Shi 'er, he would probably explode in anger.
"Soon, I'll be getting married. Naturally, I want to invite you to a cup of wine," Siyang said with a smile.
Shi 'er understood and put away the black wooden tablet without hesitation. He cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll congratulate the two of you first. When the time comes, I'll definitely be there even if I'm thousands of miles away."
It wasn't until he was almost out of sight that the Demon King slowly said, "That brat isn't too annoying."
Siyang rolled his eyes at him and didn't respond.
With their cultivation, it only took them a few minutes to travel from the capital city to Hangzhou. When Xu Shilin returned to his hometown, Mei Niang had followed him. He just didn't know what the situation was like now.
Not to mention that Xu Shilin and Bi Lian were engaged before they were born, Mei Niang and Xu Shilin's love between a human and a demon was destined to have no result.
"It's all thanks to our benefactor."
After returning to Hangzhou, Siyang went to see Bai Suzhen alone. During the twenty years under the Leifeng Tower, she had cultivated wholeheartedly. She had really cultivated from a demon snake to a real 'human'. She was only one step away from becoming an immortal.
"Without me, they would have been able to overcome this ordeal." Siyang didn't want to take the credit.
Xiaoqing stood beside Bai Suzhen habitually. "If our benefactor didn't remind me, I would still be thinking about avenging my sister and lose myself."
"Actually, I came back because …" Siyang came back because of Mei Niang. It was a little strange that she couldn't find her in Hangzhou.
Xiaoqing knew what she meant. "It's because of the matter between Shilin and Mei Niang."
Bai Suzhen didn't understand. Xiaoqing hurriedly explained the fate of the two.
"I see." Bai Suzhen was a very kind and gentle woman. Naturally, she was touched that Mei Niang had done so much for her son. However, she shook her head and sighed. "Shilin and Bi Lian have been engaged for a long time. Recently, my sister and brother-in-law have been suggesting for them to get married quickly. However, Mei Niang has demonic poison in her body. I'm afraid that there won't be a happy ending between her and Shilin."
That was indeed the case.
Siyang said, "I thought that she would be nearby, but she wasn't. It would be best if Mei Niang could come around."
This …
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing looked at each other and shook their heads with complicated expressions.
However, before Siyang could find Mei Niang, something else happened that shocked them.
Bi Lian wanted to break off the engagement.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?" Father Li didn't know what his daughter was thinking.
Bi Lian bit her lip and said, "I don't want to marry my brother."
Mother Li went forward and pulled her back. She frowned and said, "Bi Lian, tell Mother properly. Is it because of the matter between Shilin and Mei Niang? Mei Niang is a demon. They are destined to have no future. You and Shilin were engaged before you were born. He won't let you down."
"That's right." When Bai Suzhen heard that Bi Lian wanted to break off the engagement, she rushed over in a hurry.
She was very embarrassed. Her elder sister and brother-in-law had been taking care of her son for twenty years. They treated him like his own son. Shilin and Bi Lian's marriage had been set a long time ago. Now, the reason must be because Shilin felt that he had let her elder sister and brother-in-law down.
"Bi Lian, if you feel wronged, just tell Auntie. I will definitely stand up for you." Bai Suzhen tried her best to comfort her.
Bi Lian looked around at everyone and sighed softly. Then, she said softly, "Father, Mother, and Auntie, it really has nothing to do with my brother. It's my own fault …"
"Brother and I have called each other brother and sister for more than ten years. It was only in recent years that I found out that he wasn't my biological brother. However, I used to treat him like a brother and sister. It was only after I found out about those things that my brother was so outstanding that I developed feelings for him. After that, Mei Niang appeared. I was indeed jealous, but now, I don't feel that anymore."
Mr. and Mrs. Li and Bai Suzhen looked at each other. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
Bi Lian continued, "Don't blame my brother. He didn't even know that he was engaged to me. It's understandable that he fell in love with Mei Niang." With that, she smiled. Her smile was a little bitter but also relieved. "Brother and Mei Niang used to be very close. I can't replace him, and I don't want to be a substitute."
Mr. Li was angry at his daughter's foolishness, but he also felt sorry for her. "You …" Other than that, he didn't say anything else.
Bai Suzhen sighed as well.
Bi Lian and Xu Shilin's marriage was broken. Xu Shilin was still worried about Mei Niang. Since Mei Niang wasn't dead and was just hiding, he naturally couldn't let her go. He had been searching for her relentlessly. He only treated Bi Lian as a brother and sister. After hearing what she said, he didn't want to hold his sister back.
Right after the marriage was broken, a group of people came to propose marriage. The target of the proposal was Bi Lian, and the person who came was Qi Baoshan, who was dressed in martial attire.
Speaking of Qi Baoshan, fortune favors fools. He became Shi 'er's disciple in a daze. Shi' er wasn't a reliable master. He taught him a few moves, threw him a book, and ran away. Qi Baoshan, on the other hand, was quite enthusiastic about learning.
When Xu Shilin returned home, he didn't go with him. Instead, he participated in the martial arts examination after the imperial examinations. He even won first place and became the martial arts scholar.
Qi Baoshan fell in love with Bi Lian at first sight. Thinking that he would finally have the confidence to win her heart, he hurriedly came with betrothal gifts to propose marriage when he learned that Bi Lian and Xu Shilin had broken off their engagement.
Bi Lian obviously knew of Baoshan's feelings for her. Now that he was being so sincere, she agreed shyly. The Li family could be said to have seen the light at their darkest hour. Even Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian, and the others were overjoyed.
Siyang thought that Mei Niang would let go of Xu Shilin, and that she would stubbornly stay by his side. However, he never expected her to make such a desperate bet.
"Are you sure?"
After going around in circles, Siyang found her in the cave they lived in at Phoenix Mountain. When he found her, she was already on the verge of death.
Mei Niang had been waiting for Siyang to find her. Previously, she had purposely sealed her aura so that Siyang wouldn't be able to detect her location. Now that everything was ready, she needed her good sister to lend her a hand.
Mei Niang, who was lying on the stone bed, nodded weakly. "After I die, I'll have to trouble you …" When she said this, she smiled apologetically. "It seems like I've been troubling you."
Siyang sat beside her without saying a word.
Mei Niang held her hand with difficulty. "When I first saw you, you were just a little rabbit that had just gained intelligence. You were bullied by the other monsters in the mountain. I had also just transformed. Looking at you is like looking at my past."
"I'm very grateful for your protection back then." Caiyin was grateful to Mei Niang. Siyang also held her hand and said softly, "So there's no need to say these words."
Mei Niang shook her head. "If you don't say some words, you won't have the chance to say them again.
"A few hundred years ago, I was the one who protected you. But in these twenty years, you've already paid back what you owed. Rather than saying that we supported each other, it was more that I couldn't leave you. When my face was disfigured, only a little rabbit like you was willing to stay with me, accompany me, take care of me, I …"
In the end, she was choked with sobs.
"We're sisters. Some words don't need to be said." Siyang was also touched by a trace of sadness.
"That's right. This is the only match we sisters have left." Tears fell from the corners of Mei Niang's eyes.
Siyang didn't persuade Mei Niang anymore. This was her choice. This was her obsession. She would fulfill her wish.
When Mei Niang completely stopped breathing, Siyang carefully kept her soul.
Outside the cave, Lord Goblin was already waiting. When he saw her, he nodded faintly and said, "It's already here."
Three days later, in a small farmhouse at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, a woman cried out in pain for a long time. Then, a baby's cry came from inside the house.
"It's time to put it down." The Demon King stood behind Siyang. The two of them looked at the small courtyard.
Siyang sighed. Mei Niang was obsessed with this fate with Xu Shilin. It wasn't easy to cultivate a demon body. The method she thought of was to use her own soul to reincarnate as a human.
"Do you think they'll meet again after ten years?"
The Demon King lowered his head and looked at her. The corner of his mouth twitched. "Don't I still have you?"
Uh … That's true.
"Alright, I've decided not to get married for the time being." Siyang turned around and walked away. Her steps were light.
The Lord Goblin's face sank. He chased after her. "You dare to play with Wang."
Siyang blinked innocently. "How could that be? I just feel like there's not enough time."
"How could there not be enough time?" The man's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
"You see, pregnancy prevention, childbirth, confinement, I think it's best to delay it for one or two years. What do you think?" Siyang counted with her slender fingers.
The Demon King's anger rushed to his head. He interrupted her in a deep voice. "When did our marriage involve having … having children?"
Seeing his stunned expression, Siyang pursed her lips and smiled. She stood on her tiptoes, raised her white hand, and smacked him on the head. "Idiot."
Looking at the figure in the distance, the Lord Goblin finally came back to his senses. Thinking about what she said just now, his cold face slowly revealed a … silly smile.
After walking for a long time, no one followed. Siyang looked back and suddenly felt helpless. Her hand gently touched her lower abdomen. She muttered to herself, "Little thing, you have to find a good inheritance in the future."
.
Sixteen years later.
At the foot of Phoenix Mountain, a young girl had just grown up.
When the imperial court's minister revisited this old place, he fell in love with her at first sight and came to propose marriage.
