This moon is extraordinary; it is full, and its bright light shines upon the ordinary world.
The silver-clad figure swept away the dust and sand, revealing Quan Ji's fair and delicate face, as clear and beautiful as if covered with glass. Her red lips were outlined, and her jade fingers were lightly raised, as if she were inviting rather than asking.
She invited Jun Chenlan to consider whether he would be willing to spend the rest of his life with her.
Jun Chenlan looked at the woman in front of him and smiled, then knelt down on one knee.
"Son of the Star Abyss Empire, the invincible imperial sword of Star Abyss, I wish to protect my beloved Quan Ji for all eternity, and advance hand in hand with her, in the name of a knight."
"I swear in the name of a knight."
"I'd be willing to shield you from the storm on a stormy night."
"I am willing to fight for you with my sword on the bloody battlefield."
"I would give my life to warm you in the lonely and ignorant future."
"Shen Lan, the ruler of the Star Abyss Empire, will be honored with the name of eternity for our entire lives."
Jun Chenlan spoke with a firm and resounding voice, his eyes brimming with hope.
Quan Ji looked at the man in front of her, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Even when he takes off his armor, he will always retain his chivalrous spirit.
Even when it comes to love, his chivalrous spirit allows him to remain romantic to the death, despite his dull and rigid actions.
Quan Ji's long, jet-black hair cascaded down her hips, and her pale golden eyes were sacred and unapproachable, like the first glimmer of light entering the human world in this unlit night.
She lifted Jun Chenlan's chin with one finger, her lips parting slightly:
"Now, please me."
"Yes, my lady."
...
A harmonious cry of phoenixes and luan birds drifted from somewhere, disturbing the two's peaceful slumber.
The girl woke up, and so did the handsome marshal.
"Remember, you still owe me a grand wedding."
"This is my only wedding in my two lifetimes... no, I also have to add my previous life as a god, three lifetimes in total. I've never been one to like a low-key wedding. The grandeur I want is one that the entire Noah continent must bless us, understand?"
Jun Chenlan heard everything, her face slightly flushed, and she nodded: "I will, this is what I owe you."
Quan Ji smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I'm suddenly very curious again. What does it feel like to be liked by a god?"
Jun Chenlan paused for a moment, then shook his head.
His mind was filled with the tragic ending of the Peach Blossom Fairy and Master Shenxuan, a relationship that transcended race but ended in tragedy.
"I……"
Quan Ji chuckled softly, her voice as melodious as a bell, and placed one hand on Jun Chenlan's chin, gently kissing him.
I know what you're worried about.
"I was just kidding."
"I am not a god, but I love you more than any god."
...
...
When Quan Ji woke up the next day, she began to experience aftereffects. She was in excruciating pain all over her body and felt something was wrong with every part of her body.
Jun Chenlan seemed to be in good spirits, having gotten up very early; no one knew where he had gone.
She was exhausted up there last night, but... it was all worth it!
She, Princess Quan, was naturally high above everyone else.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Quan Ji: "Come in."
Click click click—
The door was slowly pushed open, and a pretty and lovely young girl in her pajamas walked in.
Yan Xingchen looked Quan Ji up and down and found that Quan Ji looked exceptionally well today, and her spirits and condition were also very good.
"Good morning, Miss."
Good morning to you too.
Yan Xingchen slowly walked up to Quan Ji, looked her over several times, and her face quietly turned red. She asked shyly, "Miss, you...you and Marshal Jun...cough cough cough?"
Quan Ji readily admitted, "Yes."
Yan Xingchen hissed and frowned, saying, "Then... then why aren't you lying in bed properly? I remember a friend once told me that every girl experiences excruciating pain when she takes her first step and can't get up. Could it be... that Marshal Jun is impotent?"
Quan Ji blinked and chuckled softly: "Why would you think that? My Lan, everyone who's used her says she's great!"
Yan Xingchen: "..."
Quan Ji was already feeling smug. "You're too young. You don't understand. You wouldn't comprehend my happiness."
Yan Xingchen: "..."
"Then... if that's the case, why are you... so full of energy?"
Quan Ji blinked and let out another indulgent chuckle: "Do you even need to ask? I didn't utter a sound of pain even when my source energy was damaged. If I were bedridden and unable to get up, what difference would there be between me and a piece of trash?"
Yan Xingchen: "...What the young lady says is true."
As expected of a young lady, she is truly a role model for us all.
Only a man like Marshal Jun could control him.
At this moment, Jun Chenlan walked in from outside the door, carrying a bowl of nourishing soup that he had personally cooked.
After placing the soup on the table, he looked at Quan Ji and asked, "Don't you want to rest a bit more?"
Quan Ji was puzzled.
"What would I do if I rested for so long? I'm already being kind by not going for a morning run."
Jun Chenlan frowned: "Come and have some soup to nourish yourself. You still have to accompany Empress Xingchen to the coronation ceremony later."
Quan Ji acted as if nothing had happened.
This made him somewhat doubt himself.
But he had been compared to others in the Star Abyss Empire's military camp, and he was the most powerful warrior in the entire Star Abyss Empire.
Jun Chenlan's mind was a bit of a mess.
Seeing Quan Ji hopping and skipping as she got up to drink the soup, Jun Chenlan became even more depressed.
He had just gone out and consulted the king, who excitedly told him, like a gorilla, to take good care of Princess Quan, as women are most vulnerable during this time.
But then look at Princess Quan.
Jun Chenlan: "Fragile...?"
He felt like he was losing his composure.
Jun Chenlan sighed deeply, his gaze falling on Yan Xingchen: "If Empress Xingchen has nothing else to do, she can go and make preparations. We need to get to the Whispering Forest as soon as possible to find the whereabouts of the elves."
Yan Xingchen could easily tell that Marshal Jun was annoyed by her being a third wheel, so he quickly got to the point: "After I learned last night that you were going to the Elf Forest, I specifically asked the Grand Preceptor about the whereabouts and situation of the elves. It has been recorded here, and you two can see it. Now I shall take my leave."
She placed the notebook containing records of the elves on the table and left with a smile.
This innocent and lovely girl straightened her back and imitated Empress Ruoqiu's walking posture with every step as if she were forcing herself to do so.
Grand and composed.
As Quan Ji watched her retreating figure, she commented after she left, "Her future is promising."
Jun Chenlan nodded in agreement: "A monarch who can learn to restrain and control himself is one who can go far."
"Although the Dream Sin Empire is currently suffering from calamity, it is precisely this calamity that will allow the new ruler to lay the foundation for the future."
Looking at the founding emperors of past dynasties, all of them saw hope born amidst hardship.
The same applies to Yan Xingchen; he certainly has a bright future.
Quan Ji's gaze fell on the notebook that Yan Xingchen had given her.
"Read this book to me. It'll be good to learn about the elves' temperament sooner, and that will make it easier to deal with them."
