At the city gate of Dongsang Kingdom, Xia Sen's figure appeared particularly lonely. He turned to look at Bai Yu, his eyes flashing with a resolute yet complex light: "King of Dongsang, my mission is complete. It is time to embark on my journey home."
Bai Yu smiled slightly and handed over a scroll: "Emperor Mingyue, your righteous act will be forever remembered by the Dongsang Kingdom. This is a permanent friendship contract between Dongsang and Mingyue. Please sign it as a testament to the friendship between our two countries."
Xia Sen took the scroll, his gaze wandering over it, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yu was actually willing to keep his previous promise!
He took a deep breath, signed his name, and solemnly handed it back to Bai Yu: "Alright, this contract will witness the enduring friendship between our two countries."
The news quickly spread throughout the entire Dongsang Kingdom. Xu Yuehuai, upon learning that Xia Sen was about to leave, rushed over to see him off.
She stood in front of Xia Sen, her eyes glistening with tears of reluctance: "Xia Sen, why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"
Xia Sen gently grasped Xu Yuehuai's hand: "Sister, I'm afraid you'll be reluctant to leave. But I have to go back; I have responsibilities there, and my loved one is there."
Xu Yuehuai gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile: "How could I be reluctant? I can't wait for you to go back to Axuan and give me a big nephew to see."
Xia Sen was amused by Xu Yuehuai's humor and hugged her tightly: "Sister, I will miss you. You must take good care of yourself and be careful of Bai Yu."
"Also, I will help investigate my brother-in-law's affairs and find out why he targeted you."
Xu Yuehua nodded, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She knew that Xia Sen's departure might be their last. But she also understood that everyone has their own mission and responsibility. She could only silently wish Xia Sen well, hoping everything would go smoothly for him.
With everyone watching, Xia Sen embarked on his journey back to the Kingdom of Dark Moon. The carriage slowly drove out of the city gates of the Kingdom of Eastern Mulberry, Xia Sen's heart filled with longing and reluctance to leave this land. But he knew that a more important mission awaited him.
When the city gates of the Dark Moon Kingdom came into view, Xia Sen felt an indescribable surge of excitement. He jumped off the carriage and ran towards the city gates without hesitation.
Bei Xuan had been waiting for a long time at the city gate. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and her face beamed with a happy smile. When she saw Xia Sen, tears welled up in her eyes, and she hurried to greet him.
The two embraced tightly, as if trying to merge into each other's bodies. Their heartbeats intertwined in their embrace, playing a symphony of love.
"Ah Sen, you're finally back." Bei Xuan's voice trembled slightly, filled with endless longing.
Xia Sen hugged Bei Xuan tightly, feeling her warmth and presence: "Yes, I'm back. I'm so sorry for making you worry for so long."
Bei Xuan gently shook her head and buried her face in Xia Sen's chest: "As long as you come back safely, I will be content."
In the days that followed, Xia Sen and Bei Xuan shared countless unforgettable moments. The breathtaking scenery of the Underworld Kingdom, as beautiful as a poem or a painting, drew them to explore every corner of its beauty.
One morning, sunlight filtered through the veil of clouds, bathing the two of them in its glow. Xia Sen wore a blue robe, while Bei Xuan wore a red dress. The two stood side by side atop the mountain, overlooking the sea of clouds below and the distant mountains.
"Ah Xuan, look at that cloud, doesn't it look like a phoenix spreading its wings?" Xia Sen pointed to a strangely shaped cloud on the horizon and said with a smile.
Bei Xuan looked in the direction Xia Sen was pointing, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "It really is! It's so beautiful!"
The two stood atop the mountain, admiring the beautiful scenery and chatting. Xia Sen recounted his childhood growing up in a small border village, his longing for peace, and his yearning for his hometown; Bei Xuan shared her life in the palace of the Dark Moon Kingdom and her yearning for the outside world.
In the afternoon, they arrived at a sea of flowers. The colorful blossoms swayed gracefully in the breeze, releasing a delicate fragrance. Bei Xuan wandered among the flowers, occasionally picking a beautiful bloom and placing it behind Xia Sen's ear.
"Ah Sen, look at you, you look just like a flower fairy!" Bei Xuan teased with a smile.
Xia Sen smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of doting: "You are the real flower fairy."
The two frolicked and played in the sea of flowers, their laughter mingling with the fragrance of blossoms, creating a beautiful scene.
As evening fell, they arrived at a local restaurant. The restaurant was brightly lit and bustling with activity. The two sat by the window, enjoying delicious food while admiring the night view outside.
"Ah Sen, do you know? I've never been happier than I am now." Bei Xuan raised her glass, her eyes sparkling with happiness.
Xia Sen also raised his glass and clinked it with Bei Xuan's: "Me too, Xuan. Being with you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."
The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with anticipation and hope for the future.
In the days that followed, they also visited the ancient temples of the Underworld Moon Kingdom, experiencing its tranquility and solemnity; they participated in the local temple fair, experiencing the lively atmosphere of the city; and they traveled through countless mountains, rivers, and fields, leaving behind countless beautiful memories.
However, Xia Sen never forgot that as an envoy of a nation, he bore the important responsibility of promoting peace and prosperity between the two countries.
Thus, with Bei Xuan's company, he began to gain a deeper understanding of the culture and customs of the Mingyue Kingdom, laying a solid foundation for future cooperation and exchanges.
One evening, the courtyard was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, and a gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness. The moonlight, like water, spilled onto the stone bench, illuminating the figures of two people nestled together. Xia Sen and Bei Xuan sat on the stone bench, looking up at the deep starry sky, as if trying to take in all the stars in the sky.
Xia Sen's gaze unconsciously fell on Bei Xuan's face. Her eyes were bright as stars, sparkling with captivating light. A strange emotion welled up in his heart, as if at this moment, he felt an unprecedented happiness and contentment.
He said softly, "Ah Xuan, I never thought I would meet you, let alone that we would experience so many wonderful times together." His voice was gentle and sincere, as if he was afraid of breaking the peaceful and beautiful night.
Bei Xuan looked at Xia Sen, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection. She smiled gently and said, "Actually, that's what I think too, Sen. I feel like we're destined for each other." Her voice was soft and sweet, like a spring breeze blowing through Xia Sen's heart.
They smiled at each other, their smiles filled with anticipation for the future and a deep appreciation for one another. Under the moonlight, their figures clung tightly together, as if they had become an indispensable part of each other's lives.
