That night, inside the Supreme Emperor's residence, at a sumptuous dining table.
However, everyone's face looked unhappy.
Shen Zhao picked up his wine glass and said to the women with a smile, "Why are you all looking so long-faced? Come on, let's drink this together."
After speaking, Shen Zhao tilted his head back and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"Husband, have you really decided?"
Song Yanran was the first to speak, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Shen Zhao said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll take care of everything from the source."
When I return, this world will be free from the scourge of evil.
Mu Qiuyao: "Kid, can't we go together?"
Shen Zhao shook his head: "If I could take you there, I would have done so long ago. Don't worry, everything will be over."
Jiang Qingluan placed a piece of roasted pork tenderloin in Shen Zhao's bowl and said softly, "Don't just drink, have some food."
"Okay, sure."
Shen Zhao responded and grabbed his chopsticks, swallowing the pork tenderloin in one gulp.
Luo Pianhong suddenly said, "Shen Zhao, I didn't recognize you when we were in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Can you forgive me?"
Shen Zhao smiled and said, "Never mind, Empress Luo. It's understandable that you, with your mortal eyes, wouldn't recognize a true god. But you'll have to be more careful in the future."
Even if I, Shen Zhao, were to transform myself, I wouldn't be that despicable. Don't be fooled again.
Luo Pianhong puffed out his lips: "Humph, you're still showing off."
After this commotion, the originally depressing atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.
Su Yunying, however, remained silent, sitting quietly at her desk, seemingly lost in thought.
"What's wrong, Yunying? Why aren't you saying anything? You're usually the most talkative one."
Su Yunying raised her head and silently took out a wine gourd from her storage ring.
"Chen Lang, this is my favorite osmanthus wine that I prepared for you. Take it with you on your journey and remember to drink it in moderation. Don't overindulge."
Shen Zhao took the gourd of wine, uncorked it, and smelled it. A refreshing fragrance immediately wafted out.
"What a fragrant wine! Yunying, you really understand me."
"I'm glad you like it."
After a pause, Su Yunying suddenly asked, "How long will it take you to come back this time?"
Upon hearing this, all the women fell silent.
This is also their most pressing concern right now.
"have no idea."
Shen Zhao shook his head.
"This situation is unusual, and I can't predict when I'll be able to come back."
"Then can you not leave?"
Song Yanran suddenly grabbed Shen Zhao's hand, unable to control her emotions any longer.
"Let's not worry about those causes and effects. I also don't want the Central Region.
Let's put everything aside and live ordinary lives, okay, Shen Zhao?
Honestly, I really can't accept losing you again.
I really can't stand that kind of torture anymore.
"Yanran, you..."
"Boy," Mu Qiuyao spoke up, her face full of worry, "I've also made up my mind, as long as you don't get involved in those cultivation feuds..."
I'll immediately abandon the Immortal Dynasty and stay by your side from now on. Wherever you go, I'll go, okay?
"Qiu Yao..."
"Shen Zhao," Jiang Qingluan also spoke up, "Please don't go, okay? I've finally managed to get out of the shadows of the past."
You're leaving before you've even experienced what happiness truly feels like?
The three women looked at Shen Zhao with teary eyes, hoping he would change his mind and stay away from those messy affairs.
Shen Zhao was momentarily dazed and wanted to agree immediately.
But he was well aware that once the evil influence spread, the Nine Realms would have no future at all.
He had to take this step after all.
"Sisters, please don't push Chen Lang any further."
It was Su Yunying who took the initiative to dissuade them, holding Shen Zhao's hand tightly and saying, "He won't set off unless it's absolutely necessary."
Shen Lang, I won't stop you, but you have to promise me, for your wife and for the child in my womb,
No matter how long it takes, you must come back safe and sound, okay?
“Yun Ying…”
Seeing the expectation shining in Su Yunying's eyes, Shen Zhao nodded vigorously.
Then he smiled and said to everyone, "What are you all doing? I'm just going to complete a mission."
I'll be back soon, don't worry. When I return, we'll live happily ever after.
Let go of everything and enjoy the good life.
After saying this, he raised his glass.
"Come, this glass of wine is to celebrate my early triumph, Shen Zhao!"
Upon hearing this, the women pondered for a moment, then raised their glasses in unison.
Luo Pianhong also raised his wine glass and said, "Shen Zhao, after you come back, can you consider me?"
Su Yunying smiled: "As long as you can win Shen Lang's heart, I won't have any objections."
Luo Pianhong hurriedly moved the wine glass closer to the table.
Instantly, the six wine glasses created a ripple effect on the table.
After a glass of wine, Jiang Qingluan said, "I want to play a song to cheer up the sisters and Shen Zhao."
Then he looked at Shen Zhao and said, "This is a piece you composed. I've always remembered it. Is that alright?"
"Um."
Seeing that Shen Zhao agreed, Jiang Qingluan immediately sat down in front of the zither table and took out the imperial-grade guqin, Phoenix Rain.
As a familiar melody sounded, everyone was attracted by the sound of the piano.
"A light rain falls, a gentle breeze sways, relying on a devoted and enduring love."
Snowflakes fall, the Yellow River turns muddy, let him suffer heartbreak and indignation.
"Put down the sword in my hand. I willingly rekindle the emotions in my heart; our destiny is over."
"Why, lonely and wandering, you are on the other side of the world,
How can the depth of her affection for me be fully expressed in just a few words?
