Chapter 186: Ending This is really good. She thought to herself. ...
When Si Ling and Xuan Chi walked out of the cave, their Tongming disks vibrated at the same time. Si Ling took it out and read it quickly.
...The message was officially sent by the Eastern Heaven. If she guessed correctly, all the gods should have received this message.
The wording of the message perfectly matched the standards of "official documents," written with righteous eloquence and impassioned eloquence. Si Ling mentally translated the meaning, roughly: Yu Heng, the criminal who had seized the throne through despicable means, had been slain, and Xin Bi, the rightful First Emperor of Heaven, had returned to the throne. Good triumphed over evil! The wheel of fate! There's a god above us!
“…” Si Ling’s mood and expression were very complicated.
She suspected the news had been sent by a lowly but opportunistic deity, primarily seeking to curry favor. However, it had its own merits. At least it immediately informed everyone that not only had the Celestial Realm undergone a change of dynasty, but also that a new Celestial Emperor had taken office and that the world had not fallen into chaos, thus somewhat stabilizing the people's morale.
However, this person had never seen her face, and didn't even know whether she was round or flat. Not only was there no photo of her included in the message, there was no description of her appearance either.
As a result, when Si Ling went upstairs, she ran into several old classmates who were enthusiastically discussing the news, and they were eager to invite her to join the discussion.
In fact, this message did not cover hell, and neither demons nor ghosts would receive it, but the two earthly immortals Li Qi and Zhu Mengwei received it, so Bai Ma and A Zhui naturally knew about it.
When they saw Si Ling and Xuan Chi, they exchanged a glance, then immediately ran over to pull Si Ling over, excitedly saying, "Boss, it's time to test your connections! This is such a huge scandal in the Heaven Realm. Can you help us find out what's going on?"
Si Ling said calmly: "No problem, I just happened to be going back to China to do some business, so I might as well ask about it."
After she finished speaking, she pulled Hyun Chi away. The four of them only wanted to eat melons, and after hearing what she said, they were eagerly looking forward to her result, so of course no one stopped her.
.
By the time they returned to the Eastern Heaven Realm, it was already dawn the next day. The realm had calmed down under the methodical arrangements of several elders. Some officials who had previously been too close to Yu Heng were temporarily detained, while others were left as they were, and the lives of most immortals were unaffected.
Three days later, Si Ling officially announced that he would use the divine name "Xin Bi" again, and then released a personal letter through all official channels, officially announcing that he would take over the throne of the Emperor of Heaven. The coronation ceremony followed.
This was actually her first coronation ceremony. The last time she became the Celestial Emperor, it was too early, before the Celestial Realm had developed such a complex ritual. Now, thirty thousand years later, although Di Jun had been diligently concealing the fact that he had been replaced as Celestial Emperor, downplaying even his name, referring to himself only as "Celestial Emperor," the Celestial Realm still had considerable experience with similar ceremonies. Xin Bi assigned the task to the relevant departments, who then adapted and updated the existing ceremonies for conferring high-level deities, creating a brand-new coronation ceremony.
The ceremony lasted for ten days, but in fact only the first day was the ceremony itself. The next nine days were all various celebratory activities, half of which were prepared spontaneously by the five major clans. However, it was difficult for Xin Bi to not give them face, so she had to travel back and forth between various banquets every day and eat at least five meals a day.
So after ten days, everyone generally sighed: This is more tiring than overturning the heaven.
That night, Xin Bi returned to her bedroom and realized she hadn't slept in at least eight days. She didn't need to sleep, but the sight of the large, soft bed made her feel lazy.
Find Hyun Chi to sleep together...
This was Xin Bi's only thought at the moment, and before she could ask anyone to look for him, she saw Xuan Chi walking towards her from the other side of the bedroom.
They didn't have much time to meet each other these days. No matter he was the chief general of the Heavenly Court or the prince of the Suhuang clan, he had to attend to many social engagements just like her.
Now that she finally saw him again, and in such an ambiguous place as the bedroom, Xin Bi suddenly felt a sense of joy that was better than meeting a new love after a short absence.
But before she could speak, Xuan Chi spoke first: "Your Majesty."
Xin Bi paused slightly, and seeing him staring at her, she said, "I want to go back to the Phoenix Clan and take a few days off."
"Oh..." After a brief hesitation, she nodded immediately, "Of course, of course. Don't worry, there shouldn't be any major problems recently."
"Okay." Xuan Chi nodded calmly, "Then I'll leave now."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Xin Bi was speechless, and the words "Let's sleep together first" that were about to come out of her mouth were choked in her throat.
There's something wrong with him...
She thought to herself.
She spent the next five days deciding something was wrong with him.
Because he had never taken the initiative to send her a message, although the tone and wording of his reply when she sent him a message seemed no different from before, but the two of them had known each other for tens of thousands of years, and she trusted her own judgment.
So on the sixth day, Xin Bi sent someone to inform Xuan Lian that she was about to inspect the Suhuang tribe.
This move caught Hyun-ryeon completely off guard, as she was also busy with a ceremony recently – her mother, Sang Yu-ryeon, was retiring and had handed over her position as the head of the Suhuang tribe. She was supposed to meet the Emperor of Heaven after the ceremony, but the Emperor of Heaven wanted to come himself…
"That's fine." Hyun-ryeon was stunned for a long time before she said this to the messenger. Then she straightened her face and said, "I'll make the arrangements."
Therefore, the Suhuang tribe began to prepare another grand banquet, but before the banquet began, Xin Bi met with Hyun Ye privately and told her: "I want to see your mother."
Hyun-ryeon was stunned and asked in confusion, "Why? Now all the affairs of the Su-huang tribe are under my control."
"Let's catch up." Xin Bi said with a smile, but what she was thinking in her heart was: It's time to "meet the parents."
Of course, the idea of reminiscing about the past was also very reasonable, so Hyun-ryeon immediately asked someone to invite Sang Yu-ryun, and then went to the banquet with Xin Bi.
At the banquet, Xin Bi naturally sat at the head table. Since Sang Yuxuan hadn't been invited, seats for Xuan Chi and Xuan Lian were placed on either side. But now that Sang Yuxuan had arrived, the seating arrangements had to be adjusted. Xin Bi looked up and saw that the official in charge seemed a bit embarrassed.
Because Sang Yuxuan's current identity is an "elder", the Suhuang clan has always had elders, but she is an elder who retired from the position of clan leader. This has no precedent, and they are not sure what to do.
Xin Bi made a prompt decision and whispered to Hyun Yeon, "Move Hyun Chi's seat next to me, and Sang Yu Hyun will sit next to you."
"Ah?" Hyun-ryeon was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood what she meant. However, she still looked at her hesitantly and didn't dare to move.
Hyun-yeon was thinking: Is this appropriate? My mother doesn't even know about you two!
Xin Bi just smiled: "Listen to me."
"...Yes." Hyun-ryeon agreed reluctantly and stepped forward to instruct the officials to do so. The two officials naturally did not know about the Emperor's emotional issues, and when they heard the order, they looked at their family head with a look of horror.
Xin Bi and Hyun Yeon sat down first, followed shortly by Sang Yu Hyun. As Si Ling had expected, Hyun Chi arrived a little late, entering the palace a moment after the feast had begun.
He calmly greeted Xin Bi and looked up at the seat on his left where his mother was sitting.
He was stunned for a moment, then looked to the right - his eldest sister was sitting there motionless like a mummy.
"Sister?" Xuan Chi whispered. The mummy moved with his voice and pointed towards the empty seat next to Xin Bi.
"?!" Hyun Chi stared at Hyun Lan with his eyes wide open and mouthed: Are you crazy?!
Hyun-ryeon looked at Xin Bi and spread her hands: You ask her.
The two glanced back and forth, Sang Yuxuan frowning slightly. Xin Bi watched all this with a smile, cleared her throat, and said loudly, "Sang Yuxuan, I want to talk to you about something private."
As soon as the Emperor's voice came out, the dancing and music in the hall stopped, and all the men and women in the hall looked at her with reverence. Hyun Chi also stopped his eye contact with Hyun Lan and looked at her without saying a word.
Xin Bi folded her arms and looked at him with a half-smile: "Your son has been in the Heavenly Palace for many years. He played an indispensable role in my successful counterattack this time. His loyalty for tens of thousands of years has been witnessed by the sun and the moon. I trust him completely, but at the same time-"
She paused. "He doesn't really trust me."
Her words made Sang Yuxuan's face turn pale, and Xuan Chi's breathing also stagnated. He stared at her and asked, "When did I..."
Xin Bi ignored him and continued to Sang Yuxuan, "So today I'm here to clarify some facts—I was the one who pressed down the feathers on your little Suhuang prince. It was just a misunderstanding back then. If someone were to openly question me, I would explain and make up for this mistake without any guilt. But now—"
She smiled, a slightly bad smile that would never appear on Xin Bi's face back then, but Xuan Chi had seen it on Si Ling's face many times.
He almost immediately realized that she had "ill intentions" and nervously took a half step forward: "Your Majesty!"
But she continued, telling everyone word by word: "When we were ghosts, we were together. We experienced everything you can imagine a couple doing."
“…” All the Suhuangs were stunned.
——I’m so nervous, afraid that the Lord will start describing the details.
"But I just recently realized that we seem to have different understandings of this relationship." She said this, restraining the playful look on her face and looking serious. "In fact, we are serious about each other, but he seems to have mistakenly thought that I was just playing around."
"I didn't..." Xuan Chi couldn't hold it in any longer. He stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, saying in a low voice, "Let's talk outside."
"No." Xin Bi raised her eyes and stared at him, "I'm here to force you to get married. I'm not going anywhere until your family agrees."
"Wow!" The Suhuangs let out a low cry, their hearts burning with gossip. Some of the Suhuangs who were far away even stood up and tiptoed to look over here.
"..." Xuan Chi stared at Xin Bi with red cheeks, and Xin Bi looked back at him leisurely.
"I never thought you were just playing around..." Xuan Chi finally managed to utter a word, sighed, and whispered, "I just don't know what you're planning, and I don't know if this is good for you."
The Suhuangs that were farther away began to transform. They turned into their true forms, because the Suhuang's true form had a peacock-like slender neck, which was very suitable for stretching their necks to watch the fun at this time.
Xin Bi raised an eyebrow. "Now you understand?" She paused. "Do you want to continue being a general, or do you want to move to my shrine so we can both sleep well at night?"
The Suhuangs in the distance shrank their necks and began to doubt whether they could continue listening.
Xuan Chi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked, "Can I have both?"
"Ha." Xin Bi laughed, "That's more like it, but can I just give you one salary?"
Hyun Chi: “…I was just thinking of ordering more.”
"Then let's go back and talk about it." Xin Bi was in a good mood and looked at Hyun Yeon and Sang Yu Hyun with a smile on her face. "What do you two think?"
"Uh..." Hyun-yeon quickly came back to her senses from the mood of enjoying the show in the front row and looked at her mother seriously.
Sang Yuxuan had seen a lot of big things before. He cleared his throat and raised his glass to Xin Bi: "Then I wish your Majesty... ahem, all the best, and a long and happy marriage."
"Thank you." Xin Bi drank the cup with her calmly, feeling refreshed.
Then he patted the empty seat next to him and cordially invited Hyun Chi: "Come on, sit down and have dinner with us."
Xuan Chi laughed, walked over and sat down, picked up the wine cup on the table and clinked it with Xin Bi's.
She looked back and met his eyes. Those eyes were dark, clean, and sincere, reminding her of countless things from the past tens of thousands of years.
Now, they can finally be together peacefully.
That's great, she thought.
