Chapter 673: Ascension
When the two-headed dragon was still tens of millions of kilometers away from the ground, the Crown Princess, who had softened into a puddle of mud in Lin Zhen's arms, gently pushed his chest, signaling him to let go.
Only then did Lin Zhen let go of his mischievous hand and her cherry lips that had been swollen from the kiss.
"Lin Zhen, I'm leaving now. If we go any further, there will be more star detectors. I don't want anyone to see anything unexpected happening at this time."
"Yeah." Lin Zhen was also in a bad mood.
"Don't worry about me. Since I promised you, I will protect myself. Although I can't fight this fate, I have made another breakthrough in the realm of immortality. As long as I don't want to, no one can force me."
"I will visit you at the palace."
"Oh! Then I'm really looking forward to it. With what identity will my little lover enter the palace?" Obviously Ning Qingxuan didn't quite believe it. Once she entered the palace, she would most likely be the queen. How could she easily meet other men?
"I will. Just wait. Also, remember to open your dimension. If you miss me, you can meet me in the dimension."
Ning Qingxuan nodded slightly and summoned the five-colored deer.
After taking a deep look at Lin Zhen, the Crown Princess, who was just beginning to fall in love, had tears glistening in her eyes. She didn't want to be separated from her lover just when they were engaged.
"Goodbye, Lin Zhen!"
The five-colored deer spread out its four hooves and ran, soon disappearing into the vast starry sky.
Watching the beauty go away, Lin Zhen sighed. Such a beautiful woman must not be let down.
He adjusted himself quickly, gathered his thoughts, and headed towards the ground. The Divine Punishment Star was about to begin, and he had to prepare quickly.
********** In the Regent Hall of Southern Liang, Crown Prince Liang Zhihuan finished dealing with government affairs and was staring at the window in a daze.
Ning Qingxuan has been missing for more than two years. Even though his power is almost equal to that of the emperor, he is powerless to do anything about the people who disappeared in the space rift.
The identity of the other man who disappeared with Ning Qingxuan was also found out. His name was Lin Zhen. He was a warrior from the New Territories and actually served as the grand elder in the Alchemist Guild.
However, according to Liang Chen, Lin Zhen is most likely a clone, and his real body is Huahua Taisui.
In that case, it’s no wonder that Ning Qingxuan would chase him into the depths of the starry sky.
The scene of Lin Zhen holding Ning Qingxuan and being swallowed by the crack was still vivid in Liang Zhihuan's mind. Although he knew it was an instinctive reaction at the time, Liang Zhihuan still felt uncomfortable.
His fiancée was so beautiful that he was a little worried.
"Qingxuan, where are you?"
Just when the prince was feeling somewhat depressed, a report suddenly came from the eunuch outside.
"Report~~~~~! Report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess is back!"
The eunuch who had been calm beside him almost crawled in, his face full of joy.
Liang Zhihuan was even more excited. He rushed to the eunuch and grabbed him. "What did you say? Say it again?"
"Your Highness, I heard that the Crown Princess is back. She just came back. The city defense army was the first to get the news. She has now returned to Qinyin Cottage!"
Before he finished speaking, Liang Zhihuan had already thrown the eunuch away and disappeared on the spot! ********* Inside Qinyin Cottage, Liang Chen excitedly came to Ning Qingxuan's side and bowed deeply: "Mother, you are finally back. I know that you are a lucky person and nothing will happen to you."
"Well, after more than two years of not seeing you, you have made progress and are now a Domain King."
Liang Chen is now a second-level Domain King, and his strength has improved a lot. Hearing Ning Qingxuan's praise, he immediately patted his chest and said, "I have never slacked off these days in preparation for the Divine Punishment Star. To be honest, I have defeated several Realm King masters. It's a pity that Lin Zhen, that bastard, is gone now, otherwise I would have beaten him to a pulp."
Ning Qingxuan glanced at Liang Chen. During the time she was with Lin Zhen, she was extremely shocked by Lin Zhen’s potential. In two years, he was able to soar from the fourth level of Domain King to the eighth level of Domain King!
What's more, Lin Zhen was only at the same realm as his son before, Galaxy Level Nine. It was a genius that his son went from Galaxy Level Nine to Domain King Level Two in two years. However, compared with Lin Zhen, he was defeated in seconds.
Moreover, Liang Chen kept calling Lin Zhen a bastard, which made Ning Qingxuan feel uncomfortable.
No matter how close Liang Chen was, he could not compare to Lin Zhen's position in Ning Qingxuan's heart. Moreover, the two had just separated, and Ning Qingxuan was unhappy when she heard someone say that about him.
"Chen'er, don't be too arrogant. You should know that there are always people who are better than you. You are definitely not Lin Zhen's opponent right now."
"Mom! How can you boost others' morale and destroy my child's prestige? That bastard Lin Zhen! Mom and Lin Zhen were swallowed by the space crack together, right? How is that bastard? Is he dead?"
Ning Qingxuan ignored Liang Chen, stood up and walked towards the back garden.
You have to know that Ning Qingxuan has always doted on Liang Chen, and this is the first time she has expressed her dissatisfaction so bluntly, which immediately made Liang Chen a little confused.
At this moment, a figure flashed outside and his father Liang Zhihuan appeared in front of him.
"Where's your mother?"
"I went into the garden. Mother seemed unhappy."
"You are the same. You are so old, but you are still so careless all day long. You only know how to make your mother angry. I will deal with you when I have the chance."
After saying that, Liang Zhihuan didn't bother to pay attention to Liang Chen and quickly entered the garden.
Entering the garden, I saw Ning Qingxuan, who was wearing a simple dress, sitting on the beauty chair with a book in her hand, but her eyes were fixed on the void, obviously without focus.
"Xuan'er, you're back!" Liang Zhihuan called out.
Ning Qingxuan's beautiful eyes moved, and her gaze fell on Liang Zhihuan. She stepped down from the beauty's seat and leaned over gently: "Your Highness."
"Hey, just sit down, just sit down."
Asking the maid to bring a chair over, Liang Zhihuan sat in front of Ning Qingxuan: "Xuan'er, I have missed you so much in the past two years. What's going on with you?"
"Nothing serious, I just got stuck in a space crack and couldn't get out. I was able to escape only yesterday when I broke through."
Liang Zhihuan also saw that Ning Qingxuan's realm had improved again, and he was secretly shocked in his heart. Such a Ning Qingxuan could almost be regarded as the number one master in Nanliang.
"What about the people you were hunting down in the past?"
Ning Qingxuan's beautiful eyes fell on Liang Zhihuan's face, and after a while she said, "Huahua Taisui is dead."
"Dead? That's great! Hahaha! That's great!" Liang Zhihuan clapped his hands and laughed, feeling relieved all of a sudden.
"Then I guess Lin Zhen is dead too. He is Hua Hua Tai Sui's clone. Since the original body is dead, the clone can't survive alone."
Unexpectedly, Ning Qingxuan shook her head slightly: "Lin Zhen is the real body, Huahua Taisui was killed by him."
"Then Lin Zhen..."
Ning Qingxuan lowered her head slightly at this time, not wanting to talk about Lin Zhen in front of Liang Zhihuan, and slowly said: "Your Highness, don't let your imagination run wild. I'm back safe and sound."
The voice was not loud, but the tone was firm and tolerant of rebuttal. Even though Liang Zhihuan was the future emperor, he still felt a little insecure in front of Ning Qingxuan and really didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Moreover, he also knew how to observe women. Ning Qingxuan's figure remained the same, her brows were not confused, and she was obviously still a virgin, so there should be nothing between her and Lin Zhen.
Thinking about it, Liang Zhihuan decided to give it a try.
"Xuan'er, we should have gotten married in the first place, but Huahua Taisui happened. I also swore that I would not get married and would not marry you until Huahua Taisui died. Now that he is dead, should we..."
Ning Qingxuan raised her head and looked into the distance: "Your Highness is the one who makes the decision on these matters. It has always been you who makes the decision."
"Okay, okay! Then I will go back and prepare for the wedding. My father has told me many times that when I decide to take over the throne, he will give it to me. In fact, I don't even know where he went. Xuan'er, just prepare to be my queen!"
Ning Qingxuan did not comment and did not seem to have any enthusiasm for this matter.
"Then I'll go back." Liang Zhihuan stood up.
"Your Highness, please take care." Ning Qingxuan bowed slightly.
"Xuan'er, won't you see me off?" Looking at Ning Qingxuan's beautiful and charming appearance, Liang Zhihuan felt a little eager. He had waited for this day for a long time, but unfortunately he hadn't even held the beautiful woman's hand.
"I'm tired, Your Highness, please leave on your own."
After saying that, Ning Qingxuan picked up the book without giving any face to the emperor who was about to ascend the throne.
Liang Zhihuan told himself that this was because he and Ning Qingxuan had no emotional foundation, and that things would get better slowly.
Some of them were reluctant to leave, and they tried to make conversation by saying, "Chen'er has made great progress these days. The Divine Punishment Star is about to start. I think he will get a good result in it, and maybe he will even give us some surprises."
If Ning Qingxuan was talking about Liang Chen in the past, she would be more interested. Although she was paying attention today, it was not as much as Liang Zhihuan imagined.
Ning Qingxuan shook her head slightly: "It's difficult. I just hope he can protect himself in there and not cause too much trouble to others."
Liang Zhihuan was stunned for a moment and didn't quite understand what Ning Qingxuan meant.
But none of this matters. The most important thing is that he is about to take over the throne and marry Ning Qingxuan.
Liang Zhihuan left and immediately began to prepare for various matters. He moved very quickly and had everything ready three days before the Divine Punishment Star was opened. He officially ascended the throne and became the Emperor of Southern Liang.
He also announced on the same day that he would marry Crown Princess Ning Qingxuan as his queen and officially move into the palace.
People thought that Liang Zhihuan would be overjoyed at the morning court the next day, but after the emperor attended the court, he seemed very listless and in a bad mood.
It was not until later that news came out that for some unknown reason the Queen did not let the Emperor in on her wedding night.
People speculated that it was because the emperor and empress had not yet developed feelings for each other, but who would dare to force the empress? It was feared that the emperor would not be able to get what he wanted for a while.
Only Xiaoya, the maidservant beside Ning Qingxuan, felt that the young lady had changed a little. She was in the room on the wedding night, as if studying the dimensional universe. Could it be that she was meeting the emperor in the dimensional universe? This is really romantic.
