Chapter 45 Proposal

What happened next was nothing special for Han Zhi.

The Water God and the master did not come, and the Wood God had not arrived for some reason. He sat beside the Gold God, quietly watching everyone at the banquet.

The music fairy played "Ode to Gold", and the bird fairy led the spirit birds to circle and dance. When their tail feathers swept across the jade pillars, strings of golden powder-like notes fell.

Chi Changyuan suddenly reached out, grasped the golden wine bottle on the table, raised his glass to Han Zhi and said, "Everyone, we are gathered in the Golden Palace today to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty the Golden God. It is truly a blessing for the world!"

He tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp.

The Golden God raised his hand, a gentle golden glow emanating from the pearl on his crown. His voice, like a resounding bell, was tinged with laughter, filling the entire palace. "You're too polite, Changyuan. The rosy glow of the rosy clouds filling the palace today, the clinking of cups, reminds me of when I first assumed divine power, and saw the smiles of mortal farmers holding new grain. That joy was even more intoxicating than immortal wine. Since we celebrate together, there's no distinction between you and me. This toast is to all things in the three realms, each in its proper place, and to the vitality of the four seasons. Let's drink this, and for the rest of our lives, let's share this joy."

Upon hearing this, all the immortals stood up and bowed:

"Your Majesty has the Three Realms in mind, and we shall follow closely! We wish to protect the vitality of this world with Your Majesty, year after year, and celebrate together!"

Amidst the commotion, Chi Changyuan suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the hall. His dark robe swept across the golden bricks, creating a breeze. In his hand, a sparkling white jade pendant appeared, entwined with two strands of gold thread, like intertwined light and shadow.

"Your Majesty's birthday banquet, heaven and earth celebrate together." Chi Changyuan raised his eyes, reflecting the golden light that filled the palace, but only enough for one person. "Coincidentally, on my way here, I also worshipped heaven and earth with His Majesty the Stone God in Baidie Town. It was His Majesty the Golden God who officiated the wedding. I am now deeply in love with His Majesty the Stone God and will marry him. Yesterday, I went to the Golden Palace's Marriage Hall and prayed for these two strands of love. Today, I ask you all to be witnesses."

He spoke each word with emphasis:

"I, the Rain God Chi Changyuan, wish to be together with the Stone God Hanzhi forever. We will play chess together late at night and stay together for the rest of our lives."

The God of Gold is often associated with marriage in the human world. People who seek marriage will also worship her. Over time, she is happy to act as a matchmaker and become the God of Marriage.

She looked at the two golden threads in Chi Changyuan's hand and said with a smile, "This little gadget can only be obtained by a married couple. It seems that the heavens have approved of your marriage in Baidie Town."

"Yes." Chi Changyuan's voice was not loud, but it suppressed the crowd of immortals in the hall: "Your Highness the Stone God is so noble, how can we be so careless? When I want to remarry your Highness, I hope that the Golden God Crown will come down to be the wedding host."

"This brat!" Leng Baibai couldn't sit still anymore and almost stood up, but was pulled back by Fenjin.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" He said with a cold expression, "Han Zhi won't agree to it."

He was absolutely right. Han Zhi glanced at the two golden threads with disdain in his eyes: "Isn't the Rain God too arrogant?"

He stood up, his white clothes as white as jade, making his face look even colder. "You don't seem to intend to ask what I mean at all?"

Didn't Chi Changyuan just want to force him in public?

Han Zhi said with a smile: "Or, Your Highness, do you think it is inconvenient for me to refuse you here?"

"I don't……"

He just wanted to give him a grand proposal ceremony.

Some immortals couldn't help but sigh, "His Highness the Stone God has passed away. His Highness the Rain God is the crown prince, yet he is so humble to him and even asked for his hand in marriage at the Golden God's birthday banquet. How respectable..."

"The dignity is his, what does it have to do with me?"

The immortal, who was whispering, was smacking his lips when he suddenly felt his body temperature plummet. Before he could finish his words, his tongue had become so stiff that he couldn't make a sound.

Han Zhi looked down on everyone with an arrogant look in his eyes: "Watch your mouth. Next time, I won't be so lenient."

He didn't want to make his master's birthday party too ugly.

The Golden God's birthday banquet finally went smoothly.

Chi Changyuan stood still, a corner of his dark robe lifted by the draft from outside the hall. He stared in the direction Han Zhi had disappeared, then suddenly hurled the jade pendant at the immortal frozen by Han Zhi. When the jade struck his body, the ice crystals on the tip of his tongue cracked, and the frozen immortal cried out, "Ouch!" as the ice shell melted away. He dared not say another word, and retreated dejectedly with the crowd.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Jiang Mo said silently: "I know you want Han...The Crown Princess to change her mind, but if you do this, he will only hate you more and more."

Chi Changyuan looked at him directly: "I followed the book."

"In a book?" Jiang Mo was stunned: "What book?"

Chi Changyuan pulled out a blue-covered hardcover book from his sleeve and said, "This is it."

Jiang Mo took it. The book was very clean, with only the words "The Tyrannical Immortal Lord and His Cold-Faced Bunny" written on it.

Jiang Mo: "..."

He knew that this book was very popular in the mortal world recently.

The story describes the love-hate relationship between the Immortal King and the Rabbit Demon. In the beginning, it tells how the Immortal King punished the Rabbit Demon to kneel down and slap him with a stick because of a misunderstanding, and then how the Immortal King made a grand confession of love and pursued the Crematorium.

Jiang Mo couldn't bear to look at it.

Jiang Mo said speechlessly: "Your Highness, do you still want a wife?"

Chi Changyuan frowned: "Of course."

The book taught him to try to do some intimate things with Han Zhi that he had done before, but he tried it yesterday and it didn't work out very well.

"Then you have to listen to me." Jiang Mo said, "Now, tear up this book immediately."

Chi Changyuan hesitated a little: "It's really useless?"

"What else? Who showed you these?" Jiang Mo was furious. If he continued like this, their Hanxu Kingdom might never have a Crown Princess.

Chi Changyuan: "...Fen Nishang gave it to me the day before yesterday."

She said that all people in the world were like this, so he should follow suit.

Jiang Mo: "..."

I'm afraid the little princess is deliberately trying to trick Your Highness.

He's quite vindictive.

"You should learn to respect him first instead of forcing him."

Jiang Mo said: "Whatever Han Zhi cares about most, you should do for him."

What do you care about most?

Chi Changyuan thought for a moment and said, "The Chaoxi Clan? But I have always sent people to take good care of them."

"That's right, he doesn't know." Jiang Mo said: "Find a way to let him know."

"don't want."

Chi Changyuan shook his head: "You are asking for repayment for a favor, but I don't expect Han Zhi to repay me."

“…”

My dear Crown Prince, why are you being so decent when you shouldn't be?

An honest man can’t get his wife back.

"That can't be helped."

Jiang Mo was speechless: "Given his current status and position, there's nothing he can ask for your help with, right?"

"Oh no, oh no!"

He had barely finished speaking when a sudden, earth-shattering sound echoed from the distance. The entire palace shook violently. Chi Changyuan suddenly flew over, only to see the rosy glow outside the palace instantly ripped apart. The azure sky seemed to be split open by a giant axe, revealing the swirling black energy beneath.

Chi Changyuan's black robe rustled in the strong wind. He looked towards the chaos outside the hall and suddenly his expression changed - a white figure vaguely emerged. Who else could it be but Han Zhi?

Beside him, the Golden God was standing in the air, with golden light all around him as bright as the sun, but it could not stop the crack across the sky from expanding. Countless pieces of debris wrapped in black air fell from the crack, hitting the glazed tiles of the Golden Palace and shattering into streams of light in the sky.
