Chapter 284 After defeating the boss, it’s time to talk about marriage
In the study of the Prince Regent's Palace.
Chu Xuanyi looked at the two small hills of memorials in front of him and felt a throbbing pain in his temples.
"I say, Your Majesty."
He slumped weakly in a chair beside him, not wanting to move even a finger.
"We two, one to save his wife, the other to save his brother, and we almost lost our lives."
"Logically, shouldn't we be lying in rocking chairs, sipping wine, basking in the sun, and enjoying the fruits of victory?"
"Why do I feel even more tired now than when I fought that sea monster in the East China Sea?"
Behind the desk, Xiao Yu was slowly flipping through a memorial without raising his head.
He divided the memorial into three parts.
On the left hand side is the highest pile, these are kept and not sent out and are temporarily put on hold.
On the right side is a pile of shorter ones, which need to be approved by the emperor and then sent back to the six ministries for specific implementation.
And right in front of him was the smallest and thinnest pile, but it represented the heaviest weight.
"no way."
Xiao Yu finally finished reading the last book in his hand and gently placed it on the pile in front of him. Then he looked up at his good friend who was about to turn into a puddle of mud.
"When the house collapses, someone has to clean up the mess."
"What's more..." His eyes turned cold in an instant.
"If these termites are not cleaned out, this house will collapse again sooner or later."
Chu Xuanyi followed his gaze and looked at the thinnest pile of memorials. There was a big word "behead" on each memorial.
"These people...are they connected to the thing hiding behind the Netherworld Rift?"
"good."
Xiao Yu picked up the teacup beside him and blew gently to remove the hot steam from it.
"During the time when my soul left my body, the aura of the evil demons from outer space in their bodies was particularly clear."
“They thought they had it perfect.”
"They thought they were joining a god who could help them ascend to the sky in one step."
"What a pity..." A sneer appeared on Xiao Yu's lips.
“They worshipped the wrong God.”
"I'm on the wrong side too."
“So that’s the price.”
Chu Xuanyi looked at those names in silence for a moment, then he let out a long sigh.
"Alright." He slumped back into his chair. "Let's remove all these cancerous tumors at once. Although it will hurt for a while, it will at least bring peace and stability to this country for decades to come."
"Speaking of which, His Majesty..."
Xiao Yu said calmly, "His health had already been worn down. The day after I returned, he temporarily entrusted all government affairs to me."
"Then he..."
"It's already a last gasp..."
"Xuan Yi, is there any way..."
"No……"
After a moment of silence, Chu Xuanyi curled his lips and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, there's one more thing."
"Guess who I met at the gate of the palace when I came here today?"
Xiao Yu glanced at him without saying anything, obviously having no interest in this guessing game.
Chu Xuanyi didn't care and revealed the answer on his own.
"It's the mermaid tribe."
"They brought their families with them. There were more than a hundred of them."
"Every man is so handsome and every woman is so beautiful, with such good looks and figures, wow, they made the guards at the gate of our palace stare blankly."
"They said they came here to protect the Saint according to the Queen's will."
"Now the person has been temporarily placed in the east courtyard by the housekeeper."
"How do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Upon hearing this news, the frost on Xiao Yu's face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years finally melted a little, and he pondered for a moment.
"Allow them a piece of land."
"It's near the palace."
"Tell them that from now on, that is their home on land."
"Whatever they need, whether it's building a house or daily expenses, is fully borne by the palace."
"Also, tell them they are not guardians."
"They are Ajiu's family."
Chu Xuanyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face.
"OK."
"With your words, I know what to tell them."
He stood up and stretched, feeling all the bones in his body crackling.
"Well, now that you, the real master, have returned."
"Then I won't accompany you in cleaning up the mess."
"I have to hurry back to my Imperial Master's residence to catch up on some sleep."
"If I don't sleep now, I'm going to die young."
After saying that, he yawned and staggered towards the door.
Xiao Yu put down the teacup, stood up and walked to the window.
He opened the window and saw the back garden of the palace. The garden was full of colorful flowers and the air was full of spring.
A slender figure was squatting in front of the flower bed, carefully adding soil to a newly planted unknown flower.
The sunlight shone on her, giving her a warm golden glow.
The years are quiet and peaceful, like a painting.
Xiao Yu just watched quietly, and his heart softened little by little at this moment.
late at night.
On the roof of the highest attic in the Regent's Palace.
Xiao Yu and Ajiu sat side by side, snuggling together, looking at the crescent moon in the sky.
Ajiu found a comfortable position and rested her head on Xiao Yu's legs. She squinted her eyes and looked at Xiao Yu, like a lazy kitten who was full and sleepy.
"Brother Xiong Xiong."
"Um."
Xiao Yu responded and reached out to gently stroke her long black hair that was as smooth as silk.
"What should we do next?" Jiu asked lazily.
Hearing her question, Xiao Yu paused slightly, "That guy, although we fought him off together."
"But it's not dead."
"One day, it will come back again."
“Next time, it will just be more prepared.”
“Also, more difficult to deal with.”
Ah Jiu's lazy eyes gradually regained clarity after hearing this. She knew that Xiao Yu was talking about the evil demon from outer space.
The mastermind who almost destroyed everything for her and almost took Xiao Yu's life.
"Then..." She was about to say something when Xiao Yu interrupted her.
"So, this time we won't wait for him to come."
"Let's go find him."
Ajiu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
No matter whether it means going to the sky or the underworld, or to the unknown heaven, as long as she is with him, she is willing.
"but……"
Xiao Yu suddenly changed the subject, and his sharp gaze became gentle again.
"Before that, we have to do something more important."
"Um?"
Ah Jiu's curiosity was piqued. What could be more important than actively seeking to settle accounts with that great devil? She blinked and looked at him curiously.
"What's up?"
Xiao Yu slowly lowered his head and gently kissed the girl on the forehead.
He smiled at the girl's shy gaze.
"Let's have our wedding first."
