Chapter 111: Domineering King, Please Be Gentle
After Leng Li came back, Jian Yue completely put aside the matter of regent. To him, it was not a big deal if he could hand it over to others while he could just sit back and do nothing.
The system disappeared a few years ago.
Just like in Wanfu Village, no matter how Jian Yue shouted, there was no response.
Leng Li originally had no intention of becoming king, but later on the planet's technological team had been stagnant, and needed someone with more courage and charisma to take the lead.
Jian Yue said, "Since I'm already the regent, I might as well just do it!"
Leng Li finally became king.
Jian Yue actually asked him later: "Master, weren't you unwilling at first? Why did you accept it in the end?"
Leng Li said: "This way, the whole planet will know that you are mine."
Jian Yue smiled and said, "If you don't become the king, others will also be able to know what they want to know."
"Not necessarily." Leng Li said calmly, "For example, some kids who haven't given up on formula milk won't know."
Jian Yue reacted and realized that he was really holding a grudge against the little prince for his outrageous remarks on the island. He finally confirmed that at that time, Leng Li could hear the sounds around him even in the state of the sacred tree.
"So you really know everything." Jian Yue suddenly asked curiously, "What if I really didn't wait for you, would you hate me?"
When this question was asked, Leng Li had already succeeded to the throne, and the two of them held a ceremony beside the palace's pond. The bright moonlight fell, filling the entire pond with clear light.
Leng Li said: "Yes, but I won't hate you."
Jian Yue looked at him and said nothing.
Leng Li just slowly held his hand and said: "It is rare to wait for someone who may not come back. I just want you to be happy."
Jian Yue pointed out: "Then when you come back and see that I am getting along well with others, can you also bless me?"
"That won't happen." Leng Li said, "I will fight and snatch."
Jian Yue: “…”
This is rare, sir.
After the copy of Hope Island was closed, the whole world returned to peace. After Leng Li took over the position of king, technology entered an era of rapid development, and the residents no longer relied too much on the innate abilities of the sacred tree.
Jian Yue established charitable schools in various places on the planet so that children from poor families could also go to school.
In his spare time, he would get together with his former classmates from Hope Island.
Xi Dacheng finally married the class committee member, and Jian Yue even gave a gift to the wedding. Xi Dacheng has become much more mature over the years. He still makes some faces when he sees Jian Yue coming, but he is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.
The class committee member said to Jian Yue: "In fact, when we were on the island, I knew you would definitely not be my love rival."
Jian Yue was curious: "How did you tell that?"
"Your eyes are never on the president." The class committee member said, "Your eyes only fall on Leng Li."
Jian Yue said: "Then why did you always bully me then?"
The class committee member replied: "I was just a little jealous of you, jealous that you could be so optimistic in such a cannibalistic environment, but later I realized that it was not the Island of Hope that trapped me, but myself."
When the conversation ends.
The class committee member was about to go over and toast others, and he said to Jian Yue: "I wish you a long and happy life together."
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Thank you."
The summer on this planet is particularly long. During the hottest summer months, Jian Yue will return to Hope Island to escape the heat. The weather on the island is particularly cool, and Leng Li will accompany him back. After development, the island is completely different from what it used to be. The scenery here is picturesque all year round, making it especially suitable for vacation.
Jian Yue built a small house here.
It was built in the same brick and tile house as the one he lived in before, with a courtyard, under the bamboo forest on the island.
It was built entirely by hand. Leng Li would come to help occasionally when he was done with his work. He held up the design and said, "This style of house is quite rare."
Jian Yue didn't know how to say that this was the house he had lived in before, so he could only say, "This is what I imagined my home to look like before."
Leng Li asked: "What else do you imagine your home to be like?"
Jian Yue sat with him in front of the completed house. He recalled his previous fantasy of home and said, "It's like having a house like this that can shelter me from the wind and rain. When I go out to work, I can come back to cook and do housework with my loved ones, and I can raise a small pet and go for a walk together after dinner. Of course, the most important thing is that I have hope in life."
For many years, he lived alone.
When I was a forensic scientist, I was very busy at work every day, and I didn’t have much to think about when I returned to the dormitory. Later, I changed jobs and had more free time. I was very leisurely, but sometimes, when traveling between cities, I would occasionally feel a little lonely.
He was like a leaf that went with the flow, and after breaking away from a leafy tree, he had been floating in the air ever since. He had never asked for anything else, and it was his destiny to fall into the mud and return to the land. But when he was helpless in the air, sometimes, he would think, it would be nice if he had a home too.
Leng Li's voice fell from the side and said, "Is that all?"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "I used to think it was incredible if I could realize these dreams..."
This was something he never dared to think about.
Leng Li raised his hand and stroked the hair between his eyebrows. The man's voice was deep and powerful. He said, "You can think about it more."
One year later.
It's midsummer again.
The school in the southern part of Hope Island was doing very well, and Jian Yue would sometimes go over to help out. When he returned to the yard in the afternoon, he smelled the aroma of food. He walked in and saw a tall figure moving around in the kitchen, busy with something.
In fact, it is rare to see Leng Li cooking.
Almost none.
The people on this planet almost only drink nutrient solution, and Leng Li has been hailed as a model of genius since he was a child. The things he touched most were high-precision instruments, and later on, the things he touched most were the planet's office documents.
But now, those hands are kneading dough and picking vegetables.
Leng Li looked back at him and said, "Are you back?"
Jian Yue said: "Master, are you cooking?"
"Yeah." Leng Li nodded and said, "I asked someone to purchase the ingredients in advance. I was very busy with government affairs recently and didn't have time to make them. Now that I'm back on vacation at Hope Island, I thought I'd make some for you to try."
When Jian Yue saw him speaking, his usually dark and deep eyes rarely met hers.
It's definitely not casual.
I guess it was planned for a long time.
Jian Yue smiled. He did not expose his lover's little lie. He just walked over and said, "Then I will do it too. There is a lot of noodles here anyway. Master, you made noodles. There is some stuffing here. Then I will make you some noodles. You cooked soup noodles, and I will make you some mixed noodles to try."
Leng Li watched him come over to help naturally, nodded and said, "Okay."
The kitchen is not particularly big, but it has everything.
After finishing the meal, Jian Yue and Leng Li ate noodles in the yard. The sea breeze just neutralized the heat of the noodles. Jian Yue took a bite of the noodles made by Leng Li. In fact, the taste was not very delicious, but it could be said to be cooked. However, he praised: "Delicious!"
Leng Li said: "Really?"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Really."
Leng Li tasted the noodles made by Jian Yue. The noodles he made were chewy and refreshing, while the noodles he made were like lumps of dough. The man who had been excellent at everything since he was a child froze. He looked at his lover who was smiling at him, put down his chopsticks and said, "It doesn't taste very good. Why don't you stop eating it? I will make better in the future."
Jian Yue smiled and nodded, still concentrating on eating. As he ate, he said, "How can that be? It doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not, as long as you make it, it's fine. No one can stop me from eating it. The noodles made by His Majesty the King himself are priceless!"
Leng Li was amused and laughed.
When he was young, as the successor of the Leng family, he was required to do everything to the best of his ability. Later, after going to Hope Island, he still had to set an example and do many things to the best of his ability. Only in this way could he have a foothold, and this has almost become his habit.
And now.
His lover said that it didn’t matter whether he did it well or not, as long as it was him.
Leng Li rubbed Jian Yue's head, with clear tenderness in his eyes. He said, "If you like it, I will make it for you often in the future."
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Okay, it's not just about making noodles. In the future, we can import more ingredients and seasonings from the stars. We can try making seafood. I've eaten seafood from our planet before, and it's really delicious. Besides, our planet is all ocean except for the islands. Some reproductive profusion and some invasive species are difficult to control, and it takes a lot of manpower and resources every year. We can make use of them in many ways."
Leng Li said: "You are the only one who has many clever ideas for making money."
"It's mainly because this is Young Master's planet." Jian Yue said, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't care. After all, the money you earn is mine."
He spoke with confidence.
The sea breeze blew over, Leng Li listened to him quietly, smiled dotingly and said: "Well, everything I have is yours."

Year after year passed.
The planet has entered an era of rapid development, with science and technology and humanities progressing better and better.
Jiang Yan got married to a male classmate from Class 2, but Qin Yu was not yet married. He said he wanted to guard the island, and time passed slowly. When he was a little older, Jian Yue spent more time in the cottage on Hope Island.
One year, Leng Li cooked soup for him. After taking a sip, Jian Yue said, "It's delicious. Such a fresh soup."
Leng Li took a bite himself and said, "It's a bit salty."
Jian Yue asked doubtfully, "Is there?"
Leng Li suddenly fell silent. He looked at Jian Yue, pursed his lips and said nothing. Jian Yue realized something. He looked at Leng Li and smiled, "It seems so."
The man in front of him didn't say anything, he just hugged Jian Yue tightly.
In fact, Jian Yue felt that he was already very old, basically considered advanced in age. Unfortunately, Leng Li was the incarnation of the sacred tree, and he himself was long-lived. Perhaps there would be no changes for thousands of years.
At the end of the year.
The two people sat on the shore, and it was the festival for releasing boat lanterns.
Leng Li suddenly remembered what happened back then, and asked, "What wish did you make when you put the boat lantern on the island?"
Jian Yue thought about it seriously, and then said, "I hoped that you could be with me for many, many lifetimes."
Leng Li smiled.
Jian Yue sat on his shoulder and said, "Do you believe in reincarnation? The kind where you were together in your last life, so you will be together with the person you love in your next life."
The sea breeze blew across the corners of the two people's clothes.
Leng Li held his hand and whispered, "Believe it."
Jian Yue asked him: "Why?"
"Because as long as I live in this world, I will love you." Leng Li stared at the person in front of him. He looked at Jian Yue and stretched out his hand to brush the face of the person in front of him. His movements were very gentle: "No matter where I am, whether it is in this life or the next life, as long as I am alive and conscious, I will not like anyone else and will only be with you."
Jian Yue smiled gently, leaning on Leng Li's shoulder, and said, "If there is a next life, you have to find me as soon as possible."
Leng Li nodded and said, "Well, I'll be there early."
"Before I come, you have to take good care of yourself." Jian Yue's voice was very soft: "Eat well, sleep well, live well..."
Leng Li nodded, his voice already trembling slightly: "Yeah."
Jian Yue leaned against him, looking at the waves on the sea surface, as if he was back to the first time he came to Hope Island. The sea was also so beautiful. He actually missed it a little. He leaned on Leng Li's body and smelled the familiar plum blossom fragrance of the man. His voice was very low, but it could still be clearly heard by Leng Li. He said: "I'm sorry, actually I also want to accompany you more. I actually have a lot of things to say to you. I'll tell you when we meet again in the future..."
Leng Li held his hand tightly. If you look closely, the man's slender hand is shaking. He hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if he could keep something in this way.
Jian Yue's voice was already very shallow, he said: "Leng Li..."
Leng Li: "Yeah, I'm here."
"I love you," he said.
The waves on the shore were surging, countless waves were swept by the strong wind, and the sea level was windy. Two people on the shore hugged each other tightly, and the man who bent down had half of his body shaking in pain. A whimpering sound came from the sea breeze, like crying.
Hope Island stands quietly in the sea, like a solemn witness.
The years pass by little by little.
Too much history has slowly become the past, a new king has taken office, and a new era has arrived. The sacred tree of Hope Island is still noble and solemn, and many people still respect and revere it every year.
People have not forgotten the memories of the past because of the passage of time. Whenever a newborn child sees the sacred tree, someone will say: "Hope Island is where our king and queen fell in love. At that time, many people on the island were treated unfairly. The king and queen, as well as their friends, fought bravely, which brought us new hope."
"They love each other very much." People said: "People who love each other will definitely meet again."

Nightmare Hall
A bright light flashed at the western teleportation point.
A young man in a shirt appeared at the portal. At the same time, the system panel lit up again: "The Hope Island instance has ended. The settlement will begin now. You have completed three hidden tasks in the instance. The Hope Island instance has been officially closed by you. You have obtained two SS+ level items. They have been sent to your account. Please check them."
Jian Yue opened the backpack.
I found two items, one of which was the branch of the sacred tree. After clicking it, I saw the explanation of the item: "The item "branch of the sacred tree" can gain a temporary random talent ability once, which can be used in any copy."
This is really good.
Jian Yue thought that if he could randomly acquire some powerful talent or ability, it could really save his life at the critical moment.
There is also a prop included.
After Jian Yue clicked it, he was stunned. The item name displayed was: [Heart of the Sacred Tree], a ring-shaped item, and the explanation of the item was: "A ring."
There is no other explanation and the ability is unknown.
Jian Yue froze all over. He tried to take out the ring with some trembling, but the system displayed: "This is an item in the dungeon. It cannot be used outside the dungeon."
Never mind.
Jian Yue thought that if the ring was worn outside the copy, it would be easy to expose his identity if it was discovered by people who had watched the live broadcast. However, as long as the ring was there, he felt at ease, as if everything he and Leng Li had experienced was not a dream or fake. This signal made him feel at ease.
Come out of the hall.
Jian Yue opened the information terminal and indeed received a lot of messages.
Tiantian and Li Meng came out and sent him messages, probably wanting to know if he was okay. Jian Yue replied to tell them that he was fine, but a message popped up in Tiantian's dialog box: [The tasker you summoned is currently performing a task in the dungeon, please wait patiently]
Jian Yue raised an eyebrow.
Li Meng replied, "Butler Wang, are you out?"
Jian Yue replied, and then said, "Just came out."
"This time it took a lot longer than last time." Li Meng said, "About ten days."
Jian Yue calculated that he had been on Hope Island for almost a hundred years, so the time was about the same, so he asked, "Are you all okay?"
Li Meng said no, so Jian Yue entered the portal to the Moon Realm from the hall. After returning to the Moon Realm, he met Li Meng and the others in a restaurant near the Moon Realm Hall.
This time, Li Meng was the only one there.
Jian Yue was really hungry, so he sat down and started to eat. Li Meng said, "Tiantian and I rested for about a week after we came out, and our survival time was up. She and I both chose dungeons, but we were not assigned to the same dungeon. The dungeon I was matched with this time was a rookie dungeon, so luckily it wasn't difficult. I stayed in the dungeon for about half a year before I came out, but Tiantian hasn't come out yet."
"I guess the difficulty is different." Jian Yue picked up the rice with chopsticks. The food sold in the hall here has cuisine from all over the world. After all, the taskers come from all over the world. He ate Chinese food and took a sip of water from the cup: "Sometimes it's good to practice separately to improve your abilities."
Li Meng nodded and said, "Tiantian has also completed two dungeons. She is considered an old player. I trust her."
The two were talking.
Jian Yue found that his information terminal was constantly ringing. After he turned it on, he discovered that hundreds of messages had been sent to him just during his meal. He took a quick glance and found that almost all of them were inquiries from various guilds.
Li Meng said, "We have received some messages since we came out, but only a few. Your performance in the Hope Island dungeon, Steward Wang, is quite impressive. I guess many guilds want to recruit you, and the conditions they offer are very generous."
Jian Yue simply looked at some of it and said, "It is indeed very generous."
Li Meng asked: "Do you have anything you want to consider? I heard that the Emperor Guild is the largest guild in the Nightmare World. Whether it is resources or everything else, you are the best."
After Jian Yue looked for a while, he actually found an invitation letter from the Imperial Guild.
I roughly wrote that the Empire Guild has more than 20 gold card players, and is the largest top 100 player organization in the Nightmare World. If you join the guild, your chances of winning when doing dungeons together will definitely be greater and safer.
Jian Yue closed the book before finishing reading.
Li Meng was curious: "Aren't you moved?"
She thought Jian Yue would not bow down to money.
Jian Yue said, "This kind of organization must have strong management. Since everyone has contributed to the items obtained from the dungeon, shouldn't they be distributed to everyone in the guild? It sounds cost-effective, but in fact, you won't have anything left after the distribution. Instead of doing this, you might as well go to the dungeon yourself. Regardless of whether you make money or not, at least it's yours."
Li Meng: “…”
Master! She got it!
The two people were talking.
Suddenly, two players in black robes came to a table not far away. They sat down and chatted, "The cards we bought this time are really worthwhile."
"Yes, although this card is an auxiliary card, it is very practical. It is an invisible card!" The companion said: "You just opened the second card slot. When you go to the competitive dungeon, you will definitely be safe with this card."
The black-robed man said, "I wanted this card very much when it appeared in the dungeon. Although they didn't give it to me directly, I have already successfully reserved it. The person in charge over there said that they have followed up on the dungeon and will be able to give me the card in a week at the latest."
The companion smiled and said, "They are reliable. This time it should be a sure thing. The owner of the card is a newcomer. I heard he is a stupid rich second generation. If there wasn't a player who was too smart and brought most of the people out of the base, the card would have been yours long ago!"
The black-robed man also sighed and said, "That guy is just ignorant. At that time, Jue and his men were targeting another player who wanted the gold card, but that guy insisted on helping them. Doesn't he deserve to be targeted now?"
The two people spoke in low voices.
It’s just that Jian Yue has good hearing, so he heard it clearly.
As he ate, his eyes darkened, and he said to Li Meng beside him, "Did you contact Wang Wenwen when you came out?"
Li Meng was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he suddenly brought it up, and said, "Yes, we were teleported out of the same exit at that time, and Wang Wenwen was crying and looking for you everywhere. He used his points to go back to the real world and brought us gifts. By the way, he said he would treat you to a big meal when you come back, and said he wanted to thank you for saving his life. However, his time was up two days ago, and he was forced to enter the dungeon."
Jian Yue quietly ate the last bite of rice with a spoon, looking calm. He wiped his hands and said, "Do you know which book he is in now?"
Li Meng said: "I seem to have seen something. Butler Wang, are you interested in that copy?"
"Yes." Jian Yue said: "Which book is it?"
After searching for a long time on the communicator, Li Meng read out, "This book is called, what's it called, ah, I found it, it's called "I Became the Movie Emperor's Stand-in Bai Yueguang, Domineering King, Please Be Gently Love Me"!"
Jian Yue: “…”
