What is the meaning of love? Chapter 46: The Dowry of the Tianhe Sect!
"Go and instruct Ice Emperor to be on high alert, this demon has suffered a loss, next time it will surely come out in full force." Moon God said in a low voice.
Tsukihime looked at her with concern and asked, "Is your injury okay?"
"It doesn't matter, just rest for a while." The moon goddess looked up at the distant buildings and far-off horizon, where dark clouds filled the sky, shrouding the entire empire.
……
The war is over.
Everyone cheered, but when it came time to clear the battlefield, seeing those bloody human corpses was unbearable.
The dead are gone, but their wives, mothers and friends bear the pain of separation.
Perhaps this is heaven's punishment for the weak.
Tang Lin entered the imperial palace, visited the Ninth Princess, and found that she was not seriously injured, so he felt relieved. He then accompanied her in the palace for a while before returning to the city gate tower.
Although the monster retreated this time, Tang Lin still had some worries. He returned to the city wall and, like an ordinary soldier, worked with the others to repair the city walls.
Time is passing day by day.
The empire did not relax its vigilance and continued to post guards every day. Tang Lin looked at the dark clouds in the sky above the empire, his mood somewhat heavy.
It has been seven days since the end of the war.
Tang Lin came to the city tower every day, gazing out at the distant sky. It wasn't until the seventh day arrived that he finally felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Because on this day, people from Tianhe Sect will arrive at the empire.
Tang Lin stood on the city wall, gazing far into the distance.
On the horizon of dark clouds, a giant dragon suddenly appeared, turning over from the sky and riding on the clouds. It came to the imperial capital city wall.
Tang Lin gazed intently into the distance, and all he saw was that on top of this enormous dragon stood several figures, with a white-clad youth seemingly at their lead.
The sudden appearance of the giant dragon shocked the soldiers on the city wall, and some warriors immediately sounded the alarm bell without hesitation. Many archers quickly strung their bows and aimed at the dragon with tension, looking like they were seeing a snake in a cup.
"Impossible!" Tang Lin shouted loudly.
Everyone was taken aback.
Tang Lin had already discovered that the few figures on the giant dragon were humans, just as he had previously guessed. They should be people from the Tianhe Sect.
"Are you all seniors of the Tianhe Sect?"
This mighty dragon exuded an aura of majesty, its entire body covered in golden scales, making it a rare Golden Scale Claw Dragon. Its bloodline was not inferior to that of the Purple Blood Dragon Python. At this moment, it lowered its head, and on top of its broad forehead stood a young man dressed in white, elegant and refined, exuding an air of nobility. He said to Tang Lin, "Not bad. Young brother, may I ask you to take me to meet your emperor?"
Tang Lin nodded and said: "Everyone, please follow me." He turned around and led them towards the direction of the imperial palace.
At the time of leading the way, Tang Lin also noticed that the white-clothed young man on the dragon's head was extremely handsome. Moreover, his body had a majestic aura, and although he always wore a smile, he gave people an intangible sense of oppression.
And the three figures standing behind the young man in white, although they were standing there, were like icebergs, making people dare not gaze at them.
Tang Lin only took a glance. He found that the three figures were two men and one woman, all of whom were older in age. The two white-haired old men wore water-blue moon-merged robes, with their hair tied up in a jade pin, having an air of immortals about them.
That sixty-year-old old woman held a cane in her hand, with a head full of silver hair that shone like ice and snow.
"Are there only four people from the Tianhe Sect?" Tang Lin pondered their strength in his heart, guessing that most of them were at the level of the Moon God, or perhaps even stronger!
The weakest among them was the young man in white clothes, but judging from the standing posture of these three old men, it seemed that they were surrounding this young man.
At this time, the imperial palace was already in sight. Tang Lin heard the sound of breaking wind coming from the front, and two figures floated out from the distant Moon God Temple, who were the Moon God and the Moon Maiden.
The two came before Tang Lin, glanced at him, and then looked straight at the white-clad young man on top of the giant dragon.
"Are you the young master of the Tianhe Sect? Indeed a talented and handsome man. I am Yuè Jī, and this is my sister Yuè Shén."
The young man in white clothes smiled and nodded his hands, saying: "I didn't expect to see two heavenly beauties in this poor and remote place, it's really rare."
The moon goddess's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
"Master, I'll take you to see His Majesty," said Tsukihime softly.
"Please." The young man in white said elegantly.
Tsukihime and Tsukigami led the way ahead.
Tang Lin followed closely behind.
This golden-scaled giant dragon stretched across the sky above the capital, and countless civilians were terrified when they saw it. However, when they saw the shadow of the moon god appear, this terror turned into astonishment.
After arriving at the imperial palace, the golden dragon hovered directly above the Golden Hall, while the young man in white and others jumped down from the giant dragon to arrive outside the palace.
The Ice Emperor had already led the civil and military officials to stand outside the palace gate, holding the most solemn ceremony to welcome the young man in white clothes and others.
"You must be the young master of Tianhe Sect. Indeed, you have a dignified appearance and are a talented individual!" Bing Emperor came forward with a smile on his face.
The young man in white smiled and said, "Your Majesty is overpraising me. I came all the way here and saw a pile of corpses outside the city, filled with the smell of blood. Has this demon been repelled?"
Bingdi Lian looked at Yue Shen.
The moon goddess's veil fluttered, and after a moment, she said, "The demon will come again, and the young master will need to trouble himself to exorcise it."
The young man in white saw her and his eyes lit up slightly as he smiled, saying: "This is only natural. Demons are the great enemies of humanity, this is an undeniable truth!"
Tang Lin stood by, not knowing whether to step down or stay put. If he stepped down, it would seem too abrupt and lacking in etiquette; if he stayed put, he himself felt awkward.
Just as he was hesitating, the young man in white looked at Bing Di and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I don't know where the Ninth Princess is. May I see her?"
The smile on Bingdi's face suddenly became somewhat strained, and he said, "I'll go call her right away."
Tang Lin suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart as soon as he heard it.
When the guards went to invite the Ninth Princess, Bing Di led the young man in white and others into the Golden Hall, letting the eunuchs move them onto purple sandalwood chairs.
Tang Lin furrowed his brow and followed Wen Wu and the other officials into the grand hall.
The Ice Emperor and the young man in white exchanged pleasantries, with all sorts of flattering words being used. But the young man was only being polite, occasionally responding perfunctorily, his eyes occasionally glancing at the Moon Goddess, filled with a piercing light.
After a moment, Princess Jiugong arrived at the main hall.
As soon as she walked in, she caught the attention of the young man in white, and his eyes lit up. Looking at the snow-white nine princess, a joyful expression involuntarily appeared on her face.
Tang Lin noticed his abnormality and frowned.
The young man in white stood up and said to Jiugong Princess: "You are Jiugong Princess, aren't you?"
The ninth princess looked at his tall body standing in front of her, slightly startled, and blushed as she lowered her head. "Yes, Xue'er has seen the young master."
"Xuě ér......" The young man in white clothes exclaimed: "What a good name, people are like their names, clever and intelligent as ice and snow."
The ninth princess's face turned red and said: "Young master is overpraising."
Tang Lin looked at her blushing appearance, and his heart felt a sharp pain.
At this time, the young man in white suddenly turned around, looked at Bing Di and said: "Your Majesty, as previously agreed. This time I came, first is to assist your country, to subdue the demon, second, is to marry the Ninth Princess."
Boom!
Tang Lin's mind buzzed with a loud humming noise.
The sentence was like a thunderclap on a clear day. His body almost couldn't stand upright.
Bingdi was taken aback: "So soon to get married?"
The young man in white smiled and said, "Such things, of course, the earlier the better. Doesn't Your Majesty want to hold his grandson as soon as possible? As for the dowry..." He flipped his palm, and a white jade box appeared.
Just looking at the carvings on this box gives a sense of ancient elegance and beauty.
He opened the white jade box, inside was a Dan medicine that was almost transparent in color. It emitted a fragrant aroma.
"This is the Longevity Pill." The young man in white smiled and said: "Swallow it down, and you can increase your cultivation by ten thousand years, and extend your life by ten thousand years!"
Longevity Pill!
Everyone in the great hall was shocked.
"Is there really an elixir of immortality?"
"I've only heard of such a pill, I didn't think it actually existed."
"May you live for ten thousand years!"
Everyone, from civil and military officials to ordinary people, was excitedly staring at this box.
Ten thousand years of life, how long is that? Even if one is a piece of trash, cultivating for ten thousand years can turn them into a saint!
The young man in white smiled and said: "This is just a gift, the real dowry is this..." He flipped his palm again.
Splash
In the grand hall, a gentle white light suddenly poured in, and it was seen that the source of this radiance was an exceptionally exquisite and luxurious white garment. This garment had pure white feathers attached to it, and strands of white light swirled around it, fluttering and dancing upon its surface.
"This garment is called the 'Heavenly Feather Robe', a top-grade sacred artifact. Even saints who have reached the Heavenly Machine Boundary stage of cultivation would find it difficult to harm me by even half a fraction if I wear this robe." The young man in white smiled and said.
Everyone gasped in unison.
Top-grade sacred artifact!
Throughout the entire Snowy Dynasty, there isn't a single top-grade sacred artifact!
The moon goddess gazed at this heavenly feathered garment, with a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Soft white light clothes, exquisite style, made the Ninth Princess look a bit surprised, after a long time, she finally came back to her senses, with a somewhat complicated expression.
The young man in white smiled and said: "Apart from these two, the third is all the heads of monsters that invaded the empire!"
"What's with the Oni skull?" The Ice Emperor looked at him in astonishment.
"If I were to marry the Ninth Princess in the future, your country would be my home. All the demons that invade your country, whether it's 100,000, 1 million or 10 million, will meet their demise! I'll annihilate all the demons and present them as a dowry for marrying the Ninth Princess. Does Your Majesty think that's enough?" The young man in white looked at the Ice Emperor with profound meaning.
These bold words shocked everyone in the great hall.
Slaughter all demons and monsters, as dowry?
The nine princesses were all stunned on the spot.
The Ice Emperor quickly regained his composure and hastily said, "Enough, enough, of course it's enough! My daughter can marry a young master like you, it's absolutely the blessing of her past life! If you don't mind, after pacifying the demons, I'll immediately gather all the civil and military officials to hold an unprecedented grand wedding for you two."
"Alright, thank you, Father-in-law." The young man in white clothes said with a bright smile.
As soon as the matter was settled, all the civil and military officials in the court were busy congratulating each other. Just as everyone was rejoicing, a sudden, ear-piercingly cold and eerie voice came from a corner of the great hall, like the voice of a demon king from the nine hells. In a hoarse and low tone, it said: "Cannot marry!" The voice trailed on for an extremely long time, as if it had been spoken with all one's might.
……
"Whoa, tomorrow's third watch is going to be explosive! Today was pretty tiring, but tomorrow will be passionate and **. I'm asking for a monthly ticket, let Old Gu be passionate too, and write something more exciting!!!" (......)
