(This is the last chapter of this volume. I have something to do tomorrow, and then I have to sort out the plot of the next volume, which is also the last volume, so there won't be any updates. This volume was well written. In terms of the overall plot, I liked the part about the Wenshui Tangs the most. It was written with the wuxia style that I liked. In the past, when Wen Ruian wrote about Xiao Qiushui, as well as when he wrote about Heroes later on, he was most curious about what kind of place the Tang family was. He was curious about what kind of people the Tang Old Master and Old Madam Tang looked like. In the end, he waited for more than twenty years, but he still did not see any of them. He probably would not be able to see them either. The Tang family I wrote about was, of course, different from the Tang family in the wuxia novels, especially the Tang family written by Wen Ruian. The Tang family in the novels was more like the masterminds behind the scenes in those conspiracy theories. In terms of viewing effects, my favorite was of course Xu You Rong and Chen Chang Sheng's Twin Sword Harmony after coming out of seclusion. Some readers did not understand why the Halving Blade needed two people to be together. My explanation was that this wasn't a Halving Blade. It was a very complicated structure. Secondly, their realms and talents were actually not as good as Zhou Xuan's. The most important reason was that he really wanted to write Harmonious Swords. Back then, when I saw Zhang Danfeng and Yun Lei, I felt so good. Then, when I saw their master, I felt even better … Alright, I'll control my emotions. Finally, I must say that in this volume, I wrote the best and most satisfied with the death of Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi. In the beginning, the love and dislike of the characters in the book are controlled and guided by oneself. In the end, it is their own charm or anti-charm.)
…
…
The three of them walked out of the Imperial City.
After walking past the half collapsed Whalefall Platform, Chen Chang Sheng suddenly stopped.
"Whose child is it in her womb?"
Hearing this, Tang Thirty Six thought of the silence in the hall and Xu You Rong's reaction. He was shocked and instinctively prepared to run away.
Xu Yourong glanced at him and said, "You think too much."
Chen Chang Sheng also noticed the change in Tang Thirty Six's expression and shook his head helplessly.
Many people had died in this battle, including Bie Yanghong, Wuqiong Bi, and the two Angels of Sacred Light.
What Chen Chang Sheng couldn't forget was a life that many people couldn't even remember.
It was the child in Madam Mu's arms.
As far as he was concerned, the child was the most innocent victim.
Or perhaps it was because it reminded him of his past.
Xu Yourong understood where his question came from and explained that the White Emperor Clan needed five years of pregnancy before they could give birth.
Chen Chang Sheng was stunned. He finally understood why Luo Luo said she was the same age as him, but she looked so small.
So the age she mentioned was one year old.
Outside the Imperial City, the leader of the Bear tribe, the leader of the Shi clan, and some other important figures of the Demi-human race were waiting for them.
Outside of the White Emperor's line of sight, they were very willing to express their goodwill to Chen Changsheng and repair the relationship between the two sides.
However, in the end, there were still some misgivings. Not long after, the crowd dispersed, and the front of the Imperial City became desolate.
Chen Chang Sheng turned his head and looked at the observation platform that was like a small black dot high up. He didn't say anything.
Of course, he knew that wasn't the whole truth.
During those nights when he was breaking through the formation in Starfall Mountain Range, he'd thought about a great deal, and he'd already faintly understood exactly what was going on.
So when he used the South Stream Temple sword array to break the seal, the mountain collapsed, and the White Emperor reappeared in the world, he had immediately turned and left.
Seeing that the White Emperor was still alive was just a confirmation, but he did not want to see him, much less speak to him.
Because he felt somewhat nauseated.
The White Emperor was not dead, nor was he unconscious.
On the night before the Heavenly Selection ceremony, the Xiang clan leader had come to the Starfall Mountain Range and naturally sensed his true will.
Madam Mu knew that the Xiang clan leader had faked his allegiance to her, and it was from that night that she began to suspect the White Emperor. But she did not change her mind and continued to carry out her plan. She understood the White Emperor far too well. She knew that as long as he could stay out of this matter, he would agree to her actions.
But no one could have expected that Chen Changsheng would go to the Starfall Mountain Range to rescue the White Emperor.
Those nights of breaking the formation and rescuing the White Emperor had actually been a form of coercion.
What compelled one was not riches and honor, but firmness and persistence.
In the end, the White Emperor was forced out of the mountain range by Chen Changsheng.
Shang Xingzhou had told him the method to break the formation through Xu Yourong and then Xiaode.
After seeing all living beings, the White Emperor had to make a decision.
Based on this, he truly had lost to the master and disciple, Shang Xingzhou and Chen Changsheng.
Tang Thirty-Six recalled the sight of the Li Palace's grand array being destroyed, thought of the Demon Lord walking out of the darkness and the Angel of Sacred Light in the sky, and said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, all the schemes failed in the end, or else I really don't know what sort of conclusion awaited us."
Chen Changsheng said nothing. He did not agree with Tang Thirty-Six's view.
"Who can say that the White Emperor was truly defeated? The Demon race lost two Angels of Sacred Light, and the Human race similarly lost two experts of the Divine Domain. Shang Xingzhou suffered significant injuries, the Xiang clan leader was unjustly killed, the Xiang clan was destroyed, and the Council of Elders was severely weakened. In the next two hundred years, no one in the demi-human domain could threaten him, and the relationship between Chen Changsheng and Luoluo could no longer be torn apart. Once she succeeded to the throne, the demi-humans would no longer have to worry about the threat of the Human race. And for so many benefits, he only needed to pay the price of a wife. "
Xu Yourong paused, then added, "And he didn't like it."
Tang Thirty-Six suddenly felt the wind get colder and colder.
Only then did he realize that he was already out of the city gate, at the ferry on the shore.
Xuanyuan Po, the people of the Tang clan, and the priests of the Orthodoxy had been waiting here for a very long time.
The howling cold wind on the river turned everyone's breaths into pillars of frost. The scene was rather spectacular.
After the blizzard, the temperature of White Emperor City had not risen.
The wind came from the river, but it actually came from the Western Sea on the other side of the mountains.
The west wind was as cold as an icy blade, but it made people's faces flush and heat up like the strongest wine.
Chen Changsheng turned his head back to the Imperial City, thinking of the last few days, of the people in this story, of the White Emperor and Madam Mu.
"Will we really become this kind of people?"
By the lake in the Orthodox Academy and by the riverbank in Wenshui City a few days ago, he had asked this question.
In the past, Tang Thirty-Six would always give a very clear answer, but today, he was silent.
Chen Changsheng thought of Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi, and then he thought of another important question.
"If your wife treats you extremely well, but has an extremely bad personality, and is even a great villain, what will you do?"
This question had been raised by Bie Yanghong.
Xuanyuan Po thought of those days, his expression a little gloomy.
Xu Yourong calmly gazed at him and asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"
Chen Changsheng very seriously thought this over, then replied, "I would advise you, stop you from continuing your evil ways, and guard your side for the rest of your life."
Tang Thirty-Six asked, "Just like Bie Yanghong?"
Chen Changsheng thought it over, then shook his head. "I can't do it."
Xu Yourong replied, "I also don't want it."
Tang Thirty-Six asked, "If it were you encountering this problem?"
Xu Yourong thought for a while, then said, "I would kill him, and then I would follow him in death."
This answer, especially this kind of casual feeling, made Xuanyuan Po, who was about to speak, so scared that he didn't dare to open his mouth.
"Truly worthy of being a child taught by the Divine Empress."
Tang Thirty-Six sighed, then changed the topic. "I think there's something wrong with all of you."
Surprised, Chen Changsheng asked, "What do you think we should do?"
"All of you say that I'm like Su Li, so my style of doing things is naturally of that school."
Tang Thirty-Six replied, "What can we do? Do nothing. Isn't it fun to be great evildoers together? "
Chen Changsheng felt that these words were very inappropriate. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the lively sounds of ceremonial music in the distance.
This music was very cheerful, and one could even hear the occasional firecrackers. Some family was probably holding a wedding.
So many things had happened and Madam Mu had just died. Anyone who dared to hold a wedding at this time was either extremely stupid or extremely powerful.
The family holding the wedding today belonged to neither of these two categories.
No one had come to stop them because this family was holding a wedding and the officiator had a rather special status.
Xuanyuan Po said to Tang Thirty-Six, "The officiator was originally the principal, but now I'm taking his place."
Chen Changsheng replied, "I'm in a hurry to leave."
The Archbishop of the Western Wastes and several cardinals had also come to bid farewell, preparing to attend the wedding.
Tang Thirty-Six was even more confused at this situation, thinking, just what is going on here?
Xuanyuan Po explained the story to him.
The two getting married today were a young man and woman who had been watching the Heavenly Selection ceremony in front of the Imperial City a few days ago.
The young man was a Bear tribe laborer from the lower city's Pine Paths while the young woman was a noble lady from the upper city.
Logically speaking, given the vast difference in status, they should have never gotten to know each other, much less gotten married.
The problem was that on that day, Chen Changsheng had engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon Lord on the observation platform, causing a massive rock to collapse from the Whalefall Platform.
At the final moment, the Bear tribe laborer had protected the noble lady.
Even so, they would still have died, just like those several hundred people on the plaza who had not been able to escape in time.
Fortunately, Chen Changsheng's group of swords had chopped the rock into powder, and a beautiful snowfall had fallen in front of the Imperial City.
No one had died, and the emotion quickly transformed into love, surpassing many other things to bring about today's wedding.
"They all say that it might have something to do with me proposing the marriage."
Xuanyuan Po said, "But I feel that the woman's family has a very good attitude. The people in the tribe are overthinking it."
Tang Thirty-Six said, "If you weren't the one representing the husband's family to propose, would the woman's family have a good attitude? Speaking of which, why did you get involved in this matter? "
Xuanyuan Po replied, "We're all tribesmen, and Hu Ji's beef buns are really delicious. I forgot to mention, the groom is a helper at the Hu Ji's bun shop. On that day, if he hadn't risked his life to throw out the shopkeeper and the chef, we wouldn't have been able to eat these buns anymore."
Tang Thirty-Six laughed. "That's too exaggerated. What kind of bun could be so delicious?"
Chen Changsheng did not laugh. He seriously said, "That bun really is delicious."
The Hu Ji's bun shop in the Pine Paths was not far from the Celestial Tree temple, so it was naturally not far from Xuanyuan Po's home.
Bie Yanghong had loved the buns from this shop, but alas, he had not been able to eat a hot one until his death.
The mood became rather gloomy.
Tang Thirty-Six had heard Chen Changsheng speak of Bie Yanghong's death and vaguely understood.
Xuanyuan Po bid farewell to Chen Changsheng and the others.
Chen Changsheng said, "Let's meet again when we return to the Orthodox Academy."
Xuanyuan Po nodded and walked with the bishops to the place where the ceremonial music was being played.
Chen Changsheng fell quiet for a while as he watched the firecrackers fly through the air, then said, "It's a good thing."
"Yes, there are still many good things in the world."
Tang Thirty-Six said, "This being the case, who says that we'll definitely become people like the White Emperor couple?"
Xu Yourong gave a faint smile, saying nothing.
As the rays of the sun shone down, the temperature finally rose.
The west wind gradually warmed, no longer as cold and fierce as before.
With a cry, the White Crane left the ground.
The snow trembled as a black-clothed girl landed on the shore.
Confused, she asked, "Why are you in such a rush to leave?"
Because Chen Changsheng had received a letter.
It was a letter from the capital.
Someone in the capital was about to get married. He was invited to attend the wedding, and he was also asked to preside over the wedding.
Chen Changsheng could choose not to participate in the wedding in White Emperor City, but he had to participate in the wedding in the capital.
And he knew that whether he was willing or not, he could not escape from this task.
Just like back then, whether he was willing or not, she had still climbed into his bed.
