The Emperor: "What am I afraid of? If the Three Kingdoms had not been peaceful these years, I would have unified the Four Kingdoms long ago. Humph... If they are reluctant to offer their handsome men, I will personally lead the army to destroy them."
Just as the emperor was speaking excitedly, Fengjiu felt two more auras in the space, and Fengjiu flashed into the space.
The emperor was still trying to speak when he saw the phoenix wine disappear out of thin air.
The retired emperor was not surprised. Sometimes they would urge Fengjiu to find her husband, and Fengjiu would disappear out of thin air like this.
The Emperor sighed and said, "Alas, it's all because of that rebellious son Chen'er. He has been out of touch for the past few years and has dragged our daughter to the age of eighteen, and this brat still hasn't appeared!
In this quiet and mysterious space of Merlin, time seems to have stood still.
Nangong Beichen and Fengjiu, old friends who had not seen each other for fifteen years, finally met again here.
The breeze blew gently, and the flowers on the branches of the plum tree fell like snow, adding a touch of poetic romance to the reunion scene.
Nangong Beichen was dressed in white, with an upright posture, and his eyes were filled with the depth and calmness accumulated over the years.
He took firm steps and stepped into the depths of Merlin, his heart full of anticipation and anxiety.
Each step seemed to carry a tremendous amount of force, carrying the longing and concern of the past fifteen years.
Feng Jiu, wearing a lavender long dress, the sleeves of her skirt fluttered gently in the breeze, like a fairy descending to earth.
Her face was still beautiful, but her eyes were more indifferent and mature.
Her hair fluttered slightly, but it couldn't hide the hint of sadness between her brows.
When their eyes met, time seemed to stop instantly.
Thousands of words came to my mind, but at this moment they turned into a silent gaze.
Nangong Beichen's slightly trembling lips finally opened, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Jiu'er, it's been sixteen years since we last met. Time flies, and the little girl I used to be has grown up!" The voice was filled with endless emotion and longing.
Tears welled up in Fengjiu's eyes, and she responded softly, "Achen, in the past fifteen years, I have often recalled the past in my dreams.
Those laughter and tears seem to be just yesterday."
They approached slowly, and the plum blossoms around them seemed to sense the affection and fell even more gently.
Nangong Beichen gently held Fengjiu's hand, feeling the long-lost warmth, those hands that were once so familiar to him.
"Though we are separated by a different world, you have always been in my heart."
Feng Jiu nodded slightly, with a faint smile and a sigh: "Time has passed, and we have all grown up."
In this space of Merlin, their figures seem to merge with the beautiful scenery, becoming an eternal picture.
Sixteen years of separation turned into the joy of reunion and expectations for the future at this moment, as if this plum forest was also blooming its most splendid posture for their reunion.
In this dreamlike space of Merlin, their figures seem to merge with the beautiful scenery, becoming an eternal and beautiful painting.
The sixteen years of separation were long and painful. The longing for him was as surging as the tide. She had imagined countless times in her dreams, wondering when he would come back to her.
Feng Jiu didn't ask where Nangong Beichen had been over the years, and the two of them just looked at each other.
Fengjiu could feel that Nangong Beichen had become stronger over the years, and the kingly aura in him had become even stronger!
Nangong Beichen: "Jiu'er, do you want to know about our past?"
Feng Jiu nodded: "Have you been dealing with our past affairs these years?"
Nangong Beichen nodded, made a complicated gesture with his hand, and pointed at Fengjiu's forehead.
A red, lifelike phoenix appeared on Fengjiu's forehead.
Scenes from the world of immortal cultivation appeared in Fengjiu's mind.
Fengjiu remembered everything and tears began to fall.
Nangong Beichen felt a dense pain in his heart. His Jiuer had suffered too much over the years.
Nangong Beichen hugged Fengjiu into his arms with heartache, and Fengjiu also hugged Nangong Beichen's waist tightly.
"Achen, I'm sorry. It's all because I didn't discipline Xiaolonglong well that we suffered so much."
Nangong Beichen: "Actually, I don't blame it at all now. We have gained a lot from this ordeal, and now we have relatives we can't let go of!"
Feng Jiu suddenly raised his head and asked, "Are we going back to the Immortal Cultivation World soon?"
Nangong Beichen: "No, we will stay in this mortal world for a few decades before returning. We will enjoy the happiness of ordinary people. I have taken care of the affairs of the immortal world. Let us be husband and wife in the mortal world for a lifetime, okay?"
Feng Jiu nodded shyly and agreed. Only then did she remember that she was still at the palace banquet, so she took Nangong Beichen out of the space.
The sudden appearance of two people at the banquet made everyone stop what they were doing. Nangong Beichen took Feng Jiu's hand and walked towards the retired emperor and the retired empress.
Nangong Beichen lifted his robe and Fengjiu and knelt down.
"Your son pays homage to the Emperor, Father, and the Empress, Mother."
The retired emperor and the retired empress looked at the man below in disbelief.
The Emperor asked in a trembling voice, "Are you Chen'er?"
"Father, I am your son and I have returned. I have been unfilial and have not been filial to you and your mother for many years. I hope you will forgive me!"
The Empress Dowager was already in tears. She stood up and helped Nangong Beichen up, then threw herself into the arms of her son whom she hadn't seen for many years, pounding him with her little fists.
"You are so heartless! You had the heart to abandon the Queen Mother. Don't you know that the Queen Mother must have cried herself blind all these years? You left without a word. The Queen Mother sent people to look for you everywhere. Tell me, where have you been all these years?"
Nangong Beichen was helpless and patted his mother's back gently with his big hands.
"Mother, let's talk about this later when we get back to the palace. There are so many people here now."
The Empress Dowager then withdrew from her son's arms, feeling extremely happy. Her son Chen was finally back!
The Emperor: "Okay, let's talk about it later if there's anything."
Nangong Beichen also bowed to his brother: "Brother, thank you for your hard work over the years."
Nangong Beiming stepped forward and helped his younger brother: "You have made it so difficult for me to find you all these years. You are really unfilial. You should spend more time with your father, mother, and the princess who has been waiting for you all these years."
Nangong Beichen: "I understand, my royal brother. Please grant me and Jiu'er a marriage."
Feng Lao Si: "I don't agree. Who said my daughter is going to marry you?"
Nangong Beichen: "Uncle Feng, please help me. Chen'er has his reasons for leaving without saying goodbye all these years. Chen'er will explain it to you clearly."
Feng Jiu stepped forward and hugged her father's arm and said, "Dad, Achen has been gone for so many years just for me. Dad, Nannan wants to marry her."
Feng Lao Si sighed, stopped talking, and sat down without saying anything.
The emperor glanced at Feng Lao Si and saw that he no longer objected, and he was happy for his younger brother.
