This time the two of them did not make a covenant, it was meaningless.
There was no need to talk about staying there to start a family, build a career and raise children. Zhao Changhe himself had never thought about such a thing. Going to the end of the world hand in hand was also the path for the two of them.
When you are tired of flying, you always have to stop.
Just like now, leaning in his arms, the two of them have not changed this posture from beginning to end.
He held her, resting his chin on her shoulder, listening to her teachings, feeling peaceful.
She leaned in his arms, feeling so peaceful.
"This dinner is really unpleasant. Let's go back after eating." Yue Hongling stared at the bonfire below for a long time, humming and curling her lips: "It's boring. It's better to go back and practice dual cultivation."
I don't know if she was really bored or if she was aroused after hugging for too long and wanted to be more intimate with the man but found this kind of occasion inconvenient.
Zhao Changhe grinned. It was like paying taxes to the government to say this now. But it was so early now, the effect of the pain transfer Gu hadn't worn off yet. It was meaningless.
Zhao Changhe opened his eyes and saw Sisi holding a scepter in front of a statue, like Athena, giving lectures to her maids. He could roughly hear that she was going to build a Queen's Guard, selecting smart and reliable women. The serious look on her face while giving lectures and selecting did not look like Sisi at all.
Zhao Changhe slapped his own butt.
Yue Hongling: “?”
Sisi, who was far away, suddenly covered her buttocks and looked around. The sacred and solemn atmosphere was gone in an instant.
Yue Hongling didn't know this, and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Cough." Zhao Changhe coughed dryly: "A mosquito bit me."
As he said this, he scratched it.
Sisi almost jumped up.
Zhao Changhe was very happy. He finally understood why Sanniang was so silly and happy all day long. There were some things that one could only laugh at by oneself.
Yue Hongling didn't know what he was doing. She thought to herself, "Forget it. We just finished dual cultivation. You're making me feel unsatisfied. I'm not pretending to be Sisi."
Zhao Changhe: “emmmm…”
In fact, it was Zhao Changhe himself who was dissatisfied. After all, he basically didn't feel anything after being transferred by the Gu. If it weren't for the fact that the dual cultivation did indeed make his injuries better, he would have no idea who he was working for the whole afternoon.
Yue Hongling turned around and left his embrace, smiling, "I've thought about it and it may not be appropriate for you to leave. There may be something that needs your advice. After all, you are the true Holy Envoy. I know nothing about these things, and I am standing here in a daze. It doesn't matter. I will go back to recuperate and consolidate the second-level secret collection."
Zhao Changhe nodded. That was true. Hong Ling was tired of this politically charged ceremony, so she might as well go back and rest. But she could be absent, but he had to be there, as he might need to deal with any situation at any time.
For example, now when I use my five senses, I hear many people discussing the coronation of the Saint as King, saying that "I don't know what the Holy Envoy will order."
Tsk, Sisi wants to be the queen
interesting.
Yue Hongling ate and drank his fill, and then went back to rest. As soon as he left, Sisi came in and glared at him sadly, "What are you doing?"
"ah?"
"What?" Sisi bit her lower lip and moved closer: "You have the desire but not the courage, and you are really stingy if you have the ability?"
Zhao Changhe looked up at the sky.
Sisi asked charmingly, "Do you like my outfit today?"
Zhao Changhe took a quick look and had to admit that this gorgeous attire had a more majestic and luxurious aura, which was completely different from the previous template of the little demon girl with bare waist and bare feet.
Especially with the scepter in hand, it makes it even more interesting.
"Is this your royal robe?"
"Almost... Did you hear that?"
"Um?"
"What do you think? Is it allowed?"
Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Do you really need my permission? Since I promised you that I won't enslave you, you can just be yourself."
These words were supposed to reassure Sisi, but for some reason there was a hint of disappointment in Sisi's eyes. She suppressed her feelings and whispered, "But I am willing to listen to you, Master."
Zhao Changhe asked: "Really?"
Sisi sighed, "Yes."
Sisi knew that she had suffered the consequences of her dishonesty, and that it was also the backlash of her previous attempt to control him - Zhao Changhe now did not believe her words, and subconsciously always felt that there was something else behind her words.
But she really didn't mean anything else now. No woman could stand a man who was willing to be cut into pieces to save her.
But this can't be blamed on Zhao Changhe's distrust, this is what happens when "The Wolf Cried"...
A woman who had been acting from the moment they met until their reunion... Sisi was not even sure whether she still had any element of pity in her.
"Just do it." Zhao Changhe was saying, "I didn't think so much about it before, but now I see it this way, it is in line with the general trend... And although the kingship is backward, compared with the tribal system, it is a great progress in civilization. There is no reason to stop it."
Sisi: “?”
I don't understand what you are saying. What's the difference between progress and backwardness
Zhao Changhe said: "I now understand why this dinner tonight is so solemn. It turns out that it is actually a prelude to the enthronement."
"Yes, the ceremonies of worshipping ancestors, offering sacrifices to gods, and praying have all been completed. We are just waiting for the Holy Envoy to say something." Sisi asked, "Do you see the statue over there?" Zhao Changhe nodded. It was a very abstract statue. I don't know what it represents. It feels like a mixture of many kinds of animals. But the statue itself is not a treasure. It should be newly carved. The real statue from the last era was probably destroyed in the collapse of the era.
Sisi said, "That is the statue of the ancestral god. Our temple is there. If you agree, let's go over there now and announce it in public. Then we can make some light or something like that for the statue, and then I will ascend the throne. Maybe it seems hasty to the Xia people?"
"Almost done. It's ridiculous to have so many redundant things." Zhao Changhe said, "We still need to create anomalies at this time?"
"There are stubborn conservatives and those who refuse to accept the outcome. Something has to be done to suppress them, otherwise there might be bloodshed. They may not believe in visions, but their tribe does."
"That makes sense." Zhao Changhe shook his head and took her hand: "Let's go. After the coronation, Hong Ling feels that this environment is boring. It's better to end it early and start celebrating tomorrow. Isn't it good to sing and dance?"
Sisi looked at him holding her hand and smiled sweetly.
This isn't taking advantage of someone, it's just that the intimacy has become a habit.
Before arriving at the temple statue, many tribesmen were already waiting. When they saw the two people coming, they all bowed and knelt in worship.
Zhao Changhe found that some people looked a little unconvinced. In fact, Sisi might not have told the truth. This kind of unconvinced was not necessarily stubborn and conservative, or unconvinced with Sisi. They respected Sisi very much, and it felt that the unconvinced was directed at him, the Holy Envoy... Is this because... is it Xia people
Considering that the Xia people who came to help from outside are still camped at the foot of the mountain and not even one of them is allowed to go up the mountain, this should be the case.
Zhao Changhe was a little unhappy. As expected, matters between a clan and a country cannot be accomplished by favors alone.
Favors are forgotten in a flash, as if they were earned.
Instead, he feels unhappy about being ordered around by you, or that the Saint is going to be taken over by the Xia people
While thinking, Sisi slowly stood in front of the statue, raised the scepter, and said loudly: "The Holy Envoy conveys the decree of the ancestor god. From now on, the spirit race will be called a country!"
At the same time, she arranged for the maids to do something to the statue, and a brilliant light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the night sky.
Someone frowned slightly and glanced at Zhao Changhe.
Where is the oracle
Who can be fooled by such tricks...
Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Changhe remained calm and secretly connected the third page of the heavenly book to the statue.
Then various dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, vermilion birds, and black tortoises appeared in the light, including their sacred beast Blood Turtle. The primitive vitality and power spread in all directions.
The frown turned into a stunned state, and the words he wanted to say were completely choked in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.
There was silence in front of the temple, and then, like a domino effect, the silence began from the top of the mountain, all the way to the mountainside and the foot of the mountain. One hundred thousand elves were silent, all staring at the strange phenomenon in the sky with their eyes wide open.
Why are the spirit people called the spirit people? It's not because of the blood turtle or the Gu.
But it is the spirit of animals.
If this auspicious vision of thousands of beasts is not the god of the spirits, then what else could it be
After being stunned for half a cup of tea, an elder of the tribe woke up and shouted, "I will obey the oracle!"
The whole Holy Mountain was filled with shouts of "Follow the divine oracle!"
Sisi raised the scepter high.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please enter the temple!"
"Boom!" The golden door burst open, and a huge palace appeared in front of it, shining brightly like daylight.
Sisi walked in slowly in her long skirt, followed by a group of people, knocking their heads with every step.
Zhao Changhe took a look and saw that the temple was surrounded by statues of various mythical beasts. The main seat in the middle was made of pure gold and shone brightly.
Sisi explained in a low voice: "This temple was used by the clan leader to perform rituals before. Since the forbidden land was enslaved, the temple has never been opened... I'm afraid that the forbidden land will misunderstand."
Zhao Changhe thought to himself, this is not what I want to know. It is that you are such a small tribe, but you are really extravagant. This gold, this night pearl, ugh...
Maybe this is the king.
He thought about it, strode forward, and sat on the main seat first.
Blindly showing favors will only make people take it for granted, and you need to be powerful. It is ridiculous to pretend that these fools were more awed than they are now.
Sure enough, this attitude of sitting high on the throne and letting the elves come in step by step made them lose their temper, and no one dared to say a word.
Sisi was stunned for a moment, then she understood something, smiled slightly, and knelt down in front of him: "Please bless me, Holy Envoy."
Zhao Changhe said calmly: "Everyone is waiting outside."
At this time, only Sisi entered. The others were still standing outside the threshold of the hall. They looked up in surprise when they heard the words.
Zhao Changhe stretched out his hand and waved his crane-controlling skill to accurately pull the stone gate mechanism.
The door rumbled shut and everyone knelt outside, watching the man sit on their throne. The newly crowned queen knelt in front of her and slowly bowed her head.
"Boom", the stone door closed tightly and could no longer be seen.
