Chapter 205 The First Time to Become a Real Human Being
Originally, Wen Ling thought that the matter was almost over once the evil heart was eradicated, but now it seemed that there were more important things waiting for her.
Just when Wen Ling was thinking about when to go to Yue Country and what to prepare for the trip, Gu Chenran suddenly asked him: "Why did you say that after you leave, will you go back to where you came from?"
"What?" Wen Ling didn't react at first. When she came to her senses, she knew what Gu Chenran was asking.
She felt a little puzzled: "Of course I will leave. When I have accumulated enough merits in this life, I will be able to ascend successfully. Then won't I leave this world then?
But if the evil god who rules the world is not destroyed, he will remain in this world for hundreds and thousands of years. When I leave, won’t he continue to cause harm to others? ”
Wen Ling even moved closer to Gu Chenran: "You are so smart, how could you ask such a stupid question?"
Gu Chenran pursed his lips, and just when Wen Ling thought he would not speak, he suddenly said, "Because you came from that world suddenly, I am also afraid that you will suddenly go back."
Wen Ling shook her head. When she talked about this, her eyes were filled with melancholy and doubt. "I probably won't go back. Maybe I never mentioned it to you, but I have lived in that world for a thousand years and practiced for a thousand years. Obviously, my magic power and realm have reached the level where I can ascend.
But I never ascended, and the thunder of ascension never fell. I lived there for thousands of years. I didn’t know what the goal or purpose of my life was.
I clearly cannot be a human being at this time, and I cannot do anything that a human being can do. I clearly seem to understand humans very well, but I am always just a bystander, and I cannot truly experience or feel anything.
Until one day, I knew that a catastrophe was coming, and I also knew that this was a catastrophe that the people of that world should experience, but I still couldn't help but tell people about this catastrophe in advance.
They prepared in advance, and most people successfully survived this natural disaster. However, because I leaked the secret of the disaster in advance, I was punished by the backlash and turned into ashes.
When I woke up again, I became the Wen Ling here. Ninety percent of my magic power disappeared, but I became a person here.
When I discovered that I could gain merits by doing good deeds, and that merits could help me recover my cultivation, I thought I knew what the purpose of my coming to this world was.
So you're saying I'll leave suddenly? I don't think so. If I reveal the secret, there will be backlash, but there will also be a lot of merit.
Maybe it is because of those good deeds that I am rewarded with the opportunity to be a real person in this life, and truly experience this world that I have watched for thousands of years.
Gu Chenran, being a human being is really not an easy thing. I will cherish all the time I have as a human being. I am also willing or willing to experience all the joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and all the seven emotions and six desires of the world. ”
Gu Chenran had never heard Wen Ling talk about her past in detail.
It was also at this time that he realized that he seemed to finally understand Wen Ling a little, and understood many of her past hobbies.
For example, she loves delicious food because she could only look at it but not eat it before, so she cherishes it very much when she can eat it.
For example, she can't stand seeing the human world being destroyed because she knows it's not easy to be a human being, and the beauty of the human world is also not easy to come by, so she wants to protect it.
Especially when Wen Ling finally looked him straight in the eyes and said that she was willing to experience all the emotions of a human being, Gu Chenran only felt his throat tighten.
He is her seven emotions and six desires. Is this a disguised confession?
Gu Chenran carefully pulled Wen Ling into his arms.
He was particularly afraid of being rejected when he hugged Wen Ling in his arms. If she struggled and refused, it meant that it was not what he meant.
Fortunately, he didn't, and Wen Ling was successfully held in his arms. Feeling the warmth from Wen Ling's little face, his heart was burning.
"I'm with you. No matter what you want to do in this world, I'll be with you."
Companionship is the longest confession of love.
Wen Ling listened to the sound of Gu Chenran's two hearts beating wildly in his chest, and she felt that her heart was beating a little fast as well.
It was just an amazing experience, something she had never had before.
But, it doesn’t feel bad.
At the grand court meeting the next day, Wen Ling changed into the specially made official robe for a first-rank official.
Because of the tight time schedule, the official robes were made in a hurry.
But the court is the court, and even the official robes that were hastily made were made according to her body size, so they fit her perfectly.
Wen Ling was tall to begin with, and when she put on the same official robe as a man, she did not look awkward at all. Instead, she looked heroic and full of vitality.
Looking at Gu Chenran again, he usually wore ordinary official robes when attending court, but today, not sure if he wanted to echo Wen Ling, he solemnly changed into the yellow official robe that only princes could wear, with a five-clawed giant python on it, looking very majestic.
One of them wore a scarlet official robe, and the other wore a yellow prince's official uniform. They went out hand in hand, looking a perfect match.
From the moment they got off the carriage at the grand court meeting, people kept turning back to look at them.
It was not just because these two people were eye-catching, the main reason was that the couple went to court together, which was the first time in the history of both the Yong Dynasty and the previous dynasty.
Even when the emperor was in court, no matter what the people below were reporting, he couldn't help but glance at Wen Ling and Gu Chenran.
There must be many stubborn officials in the court who dislike Wen Ling, not only because she is a woman in office, but more importantly because a gentleman does not believe in supernatural powers.
How can a woman who is good at metaphysics be able to enter the court openly and become a first-rank official?
What do those men who have studied hard for ten years for the imperial examinations think? What do all those officials who have worked diligently for decades but have not received any promotion think?
She's just a woman. If she really has any ability, she only needs some reward and honor. Giving her a first-class imperial edict and erecting a memorial archway is already a great honor. How can she be given any real rights?
Isn't this a way of not taking these truly capable men seriously?
So after Wen Ling came to court, the officials were clearly divided into two factions in Wei and Jin.
One group looked at Wen Ling with sparkling eyes, while another group thought Wen Ling's nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. Some even made some ambiguous remarks about Wen Ling when they made their reports.
Those who cared about Wen Ling couldn't help but secretly look at Wen Ling, but Wen Ling just stood up straight, looking straight ahead, without any extra glances or expressions, and it was obvious that he didn't care at all.
Finally, the meeting was over and it was the turn of the envoys and princess from the Moon Kingdom to meet the emperor.
