Before being awakened, Shangguan Hongyu will do many crazy things, doing whatever is most harmful to Bian Lang.
"I'll go make some tea," Liu Yi said.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Why drink tea at a time like this? We should drink alcohol."
Dugu Qiusheng noticed Bian Lang looking at him, understood immediately, and smiled, "There's plenty of Meng Po wine."
Shangguan Hongyu tasted Meng Po's wine and praised it highly.
"Your Majesty, since you and Brother Bian are old flames, does that mean we, the creatures of this prison, are spared from death?" Dugu Qiusheng asked, his question ill-timed.
Shangguan Hongyu said, "Let's see."
Reuniting with Bian Lang and recognizing him, with memories returning, there could be nothing better than this.
At this moment, Shangguan Hongyu felt that all the things that had been bothering her and making her upset had become unimportant.
Over the years, Bian Lang has been constantly transporting corpses and searching, day after day, year after year, slowly getting through it all.
Now Bian Lang is even more curious about how Shangguan Hongyu survived.
The appearance is the same, and the memories are still there; this is definitely not a reincarnation.
"Husband, I'm not human anymore..." Shangguan Hongyu was filled with many emotions.
Dugu Qiusheng couldn't help but interject, "Your Majesty, you can't scold yourself."
But seeing Liu Yi roll her eyes at him, he quickly covered his mouth. At this critical moment, it was already good enough to be able to sit and listen to the story; making jokes was just asking for a beating.
“I am a demon,” Shangguan Hongyu said directly.
Shen Sanmu was secretly alarmed when he heard this.
The Empress is actually a demon?
This is not recorded in historical books.
“A vine demon,” Shangguan Hongyu added.
Bian Lang recalled the place where Shangguan Hongyu was buried, where blood vines clung to the towering trees, their vitality incredibly strong.
"When I woke up, I had turned into vines, my memory was blank, and I knew nothing..." For Shangguan Hongyu, those days were extremely difficult.
As time went by, she slowly shed her vine-like body and transformed into human form.
Over the long years, she continued to cultivate, and her demonic power grew rapidly, making her extremely powerful.
Finally, she was unintentionally drawn into the war between the various kingdoms in the mortal world. Seeing too many innocent people suffering from the ravages of war, she stepped forward and almost single-handedly ended the war, unifying the kingdoms into one.
Since becoming empress, ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Becoming a demon is quite good, so that we can stay together forever."
Shangguan Hongyu nodded slightly; she no longer wanted to grow old and die in front of Bian Lang…
"Shen Qing, preserve the magic array, remove the traps, and let that great road remain forever. From now on, the empire will have no more prisons." Shangguan Hongyu then gave the order to Shen Sanmu.
Shen Sanmu respectfully accepted the order.
Shangguan Hongyu still can't believe that Bian Lang is living in the prison.
The thought that she was the one who imprisoned Bian Lang, preventing them from reuniting sooner, tore at her heart and caused her immense pain.
Following Bian Lang back to Justice Fortress, Shangguan Hongyu felt deeply moved as she looked at the familiar scenery and buildings.
Bian Lang had only been in this world for a short time, yet he was able to replicate a Justice Fortress in this misty forest based on his memories, which shows just how passionate his love for her was.
Staying in the familiar Justice Fortress feels even more comfortable than living in the palace.
Especially with the view of Red Bean Lake and lush forests right outside her door, Shangguan Hongyu felt she could live here forever, and as long as Bian Lang was by her side, she would never feel lonely.
"Husband, you really have a way with things, you actually managed to subdue the multi-headed tribe." Shangguan Hongyu stood on high ground, where she could see the many multi-headed animals cultivating around Red Bean Lake.
Shangguan Hongyu had experienced firsthand how difficult it was to tame multi-headed tribes.
Multi-headed tribes are more savage and harder to tame than headless tribes.
But in Bian Lang's view, as long as one is strong enough, there is nothing that cannot be tamed.
Moreover, he only tamed Sun Wukong, but afterwards he treated these multi-headed tribes extremely well.
Liu Yi originally intended to cook lunch, but Shangguan Hongyu insisted on doing it instead.
"This empress can actually cook?" Dugu Qiusheng was completely dumbfounded.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Hong Yu's cooking skills have always been quite good."
"Bian Lang, now that you and your husband are reunited, are you going to the capital next?" Liu Yi asked.
Shangguan Hongyu cannot stay here forever; as the ruler of a country, she has endless affairs to handle.
If she were to leave the capital for an extended period, it would surely cause unrest among the people and lead to trouble.
Bian Lang said, "I am a corpse driver, and I cannot stay in one place forever."
“But you’ve only just reunited…” Liu Yi felt that separating again so soon after reunion was the cruelest thing ever.
Bian Lang sighed, "We'll see."
"Come on, let's drink!" Dugu Qiusheng poured drinks for the three of them.
After only a few bowls of wine, Shangguan Hongyu brought over the food.
The aroma wafted from afar, and upon closer inspection of the dishes, their mouths watered.
Liu Yi took a bite and felt ashamed of herself, thinking it was the best meal she had ever eaten in her life.
The same ingredients can produce different flavors depending on who makes them.
"I heard everything you just said. I plan to return to the capital and pass on the throne." After Shangguan Hongyu's memories returned, she had already decided to do so.
It's much more interesting to travel around with my husband, transporting corpses, than to be an emperor.
Having finally reunited, she didn't want to be separated from Bian Lang so often.
From now on, wherever Bian Lang goes, she will follow; only death can separate them.
In the afternoon, Bian Lang took Shangguan Hongyu for a stroll around Hongdou Lake, where the multi-headed animals greeted them warmly.
Hearing "Hello, sister-in-law!" from one sister-in-law to another, Shangguan Hongyu felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
After nightfall, the two returned to their bridal chamber, which was decorated exactly the same as when they got married.
Shangguan Hongyu nestled in Bian Lang's arms, her pretty face flushed.
Bian Lang knew what he should do, but it was something that both of them wanted to do that he couldn't.
It's all his fault for being too decadent before, which made his abstinence period last so long. Even though he tried very hard afterward, it wasn't easy to end the abstinence period.
"Honey, you should know that I'm a virgin again now." Seeing that Bian Lang hadn't made a move, Shangguan Hongyu had no choice but to shamelessly reveal her intentions.
