"Laugh at my silly laughter." Lu Yan honestly admitted, and received a playful pinch from the woman.
"You big idiot."
He chuckled and said, "Meeting you, my wife, even if I'm a fool, I'm happy. I love you."
She looked at him, her eyes filled with happiness.
The wedding was the talk of the town for a long time. For example, the Regent's dowry was his entire fortune. It was only then that people belatedly realized that the Regent was incredibly wealthy, owning shops in the most prosperous areas of every city. And then there was Xia Yixin, the only daughter of General Xia, whose dowry was also an astonishing sum...
In short, this couple is second to none in China.
However, not long after the marriage, the regent resigned and left the capital with Xia Yixin. He truly loved beauty more than power. You should know that he was just one step away from becoming emperor. Even if he wanted to become emperor, the people and ministers would not be surprised or opposed, and they would not have the power to oppose him.
When Lu Yan and his entourage left the capital, all the officials in the court, as well as the "Purple Linglong," came to the city gate to see them off. The "Purple Linglong" even put on a show of how reluctant the monarch was to part with them, which brought tears to the eyes of many unsuspecting people.
Inside the carriage, Xia Yixin watched the crowd disappear into the distance and sighed inwardly. In the previous world, Lu Yan also used drugs to control people to achieve his goals. This guy's preferences haven't changed at all.
"What, you can't bear to part with her?" He pulled her into his arms.
Xia Yixin leaned comfortably against his chest and gently shook her head. "I just feel a little uneasy. The system is out of contact. How long can we be together? Can we grow old together in this world?"
His eyes darkened slightly, knowing that someone as clever as her wouldn't be able to hide it for long. He said in a deep voice, "Two years. The main plot of the original story won't change. 'Chu Mubai' lived for five years in the original story. Subtracting the time before that, we still have two years."
Xia Yixin sat up abruptly and looked at him, her expression shifting from shock to thoughtfulness, followed by unconcealed sadness, but then turning into determination: "Will we be able to meet again in the next world?"
"Yes, I will be there for you in every small world you go to. No matter how many obstacles there are, I will find you." Lu Yan rubbed her head.
"I'll find you too," she said in a muffled voice, leaning against his chest, feeling a tightness in her chest.
“The system will definitely erase your emotions when you leave this plane, but since we are in a bug time now, you won’t forget me. However, in the next plane, my memory may be incomplete, so I’ll really need to put in more effort, Madam.” He gently stroked her back.
Xia Yixin nodded firmly. She would definitely find him first. He had traveled through more than ten thousand planes to find her, so what was this?
Looking at the little guy with his eyes full of fighting spirit, Lu Yan smiled slightly. "However, this situation won't last long. Once I've collected all the items from beyond the mortal realm, we'll be able to crack the main system, and I'll take you away."
"Something beyond the mundane world?"
She looked at Lu Yan with a puzzled expression. The latter smiled faintly, opened and closed his palm, and something appeared in his hand as if by magic. It was a heavy piece of white jade, carved with dragons and phoenixes, with an imposing aura. It was actually the founding jade seal of Nanyu.
"Zi Linglong's transmigration was due to the function of this jade seal. Seventeen years ago, the new emperor accidentally hit Zi Linglong's original body on the head while playing with the jade seal. He pretended that she had fallen, but in reality, the original body had already passed away. Instead, her body was taken over by a modern transmigrator, becoming the Mary Sue heroine Zi Linglong in this book. This jade seal itself carries great fortune and is an object from beyond the mortal realm. Every plane has items that carry fortune, and by collecting them, one can find the system's flaws."
Xia Yixin poked the heavy jade seal and suddenly asked, "Does your world have one too?"
"Yes." Lu Yan clasped his hands together, a red light flashed, and the jade seal disappeared. Instead, a small craft knife appeared in his palm. "It is this. Because of you, it changed me."
Lu Yan now remembers the original plane he once lived in his nightmares, a plane where he was dark and desperate.
Xia Yixin met his burning yet tender eyes and said, "I'm so lucky to have met you."
“So, Madam, we don’t have much time, so let’s not waste it.” Lu Yan’s smiling voice disappeared between their lips.
At first, Xia Yixin thought his "not wasting time" meant that the two of them went sightseeing, but she soon realized that she was too naive.
...
When she woke up in the next city, she angrily bit him.
Then, whenever he could ride a horse, he would never ride in a carriage with him, which the man regretted for a long time.
He changed his name and surname back to Lu Yan.
He took her to the Valley of Divine Healers for a while, where she met Chen Chen, as well as Zi Linglong and Ying.
The former is now devoted to medicine and is preparing to leave the valley to establish a medical school and recruit many apprentices. Unlike the original story, he has chosen a path of great love, and ten years later, Shen Chen also met the one he loves.
As for Zi Linglong, she is already pregnant. After having a child, she has matured a lot and forgiven Lu Yan for confining her before. However, she is still hesitant about whether to go back to be the empress after Xia Yixin and the others leave.
Lu Yan once used his ability to let Zi Linglong enter a nightmare and see her original fate in the original work.
Zi Linglong saw the ending from the original story, where she was used as a breeding tool by ten men. Zi Linglong remained silent in the room for a long time. When Xia Yixin and the others left, Zi Linglong, who had become a mother-to-be, hugged Xia Yixin tightly and said "thank you".
True happiness lies in being with one person for life; more is not necessarily better, and it is not love.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The two lived a comfortable life in the paradise that Lu Yan had found. Xia Yixin also took advantage of this time to travel with him, occasionally going out to enjoy the scenery and sometimes collecting and refining herbs. Her storage ring was filled with many good things.
Lu Yan did not let her watch him die; instead, he chose to restore the system's connection with her ahead of time.
When she heard the system notification in his arms, she promised herself she wouldn't cry, but tears still kept falling. Two years was still too short for her.
As she fell into darkness, she heard a deep, resonant male voice in her ear, "Madam, see you in the next dimension."
