210: Chapter 21 At worst, I'll just marry her too.
The phantom of the Kunpeng Nest completely dissipated over the Su Family.
That vast aura that crushed through the ages, along with that peerless figure, finally returned to Chaos.
Between heaven and earth, a deathly silence returned.
Su Xuanchen stood with hands behind his back, his white clothes rustling in the strong wind.
He looked at that empty Void Realm, his expression indifferent, but a hint of hard-to-detect reminiscence was hidden in his eyes.
ten ancient fierce beasts, Kunpeng.
Finally, it has come to an end.
A long time passed.
Su Xuanchen withdrew his gaze and let out a soft sigh.
"That Female Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court..."
He seemed to be talking to himself, yet also to the several wives beside him.
"This seat is becoming more and more interested in her."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Gu Lingshuang, who was beside him, unceremoniously rolled her eyes.
She extended her slender jade finger and poked Su Xuanchen's waist irritably.
"You really haven't given up on your wicked intentions."
Gu Lingshuang's tone was full of teasing.
"That female emperor is no easy target."
"In the memories of my past life, she acted overbearingly and ruthlessly, suppressing an era; even a Vicious Beast like the Kunpeng treated her with respect."
She sized Su Xuanchen up from head to toe, a mischievous smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
"If she really saw you, I'm afraid she'd suppress you with a single slap without a word."
"Maybe she'd even think you have some improper thoughts about her."
Gu Lingshuang's words carried a deeper meaning.
Su Xuanchen heard this and laughed heartily, completely unconcerned.
"Oh?"
"Then this seat is even more curious."
"What kind of peerless woman could suppress an era single-handedly?"
He paused, turning his gaze toward Chang Xiyue, who had remained silent, a flash of softness appearing in his eyes.
"Moreover, she has a past connection with you, Yue'er."
"By any logic, this seat wants to meet her."
Hearing this, Chang Xiyue's beautiful face instantly turned pale.
In those cold eyes, a thick look of worry emerged for the first time.
She took a step forward, grabbing Su Xuanchen's sleeve, her voice trembling slightly.
"Husband, this matter must not be taken lightly."
"That female emperor... she..."
Chang Xiyue seemed to recall some unbearable past, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
"Although she was gentle to me back then, she extremely loathed men."
"There was once an Emperor's Son from a Supreme Immortal Clan who wanted to marry her, but he was forcefully suppressed by her; even the Supreme Immortal Clan that had been passed down for several epochs slumped because of it and almost perished."
"That incident shook the All Heavens back then."
"Since then, no one dared to mention marriage in front of her."
At this point, Chang Xiyue's face became even paler.
She looked at Su Xuanchen, the worry in her eyes almost overflowing.
"Moreover..."
"Back then, she once said she wanted to find a woman to be her Imperial Consort."
"And I... I once held the title of Imperial Consort."
"If your current identity is known by her, I'm afraid... I'm afraid she will be enraged and act against you."
Chang Xiyue's voice grew smaller and smaller; the fear originating from the depths of her Soul made her delicate body tremble slightly.
She wasn't afraid of being mistreated herself.
She was only afraid that Su Xuanchen would meet with misfortune because of it.
Seeing this, although Gu Lingshuang was still joking, a bit of gravity grew in her heart.
She knew Su Xuanchen's character well.
Bold and reckless.
Back when she was still the Reincarnation of a Great Emperor, he dared to touch her and handle her at will.
Now, why would he fear an Ancient Heavenly Emperor who had disappeared for countless epochs and whose life or death was unknown?
As expected.
After hearing Chang Xiyue's words, Su Xuanchen didn't have the slightest fear; instead, the interest in his eyes grew even stronger.
"Find a woman to be her Imperial Consort?"
He stroked his chin, a playful smile appearing on his face.
"Interesting."
"In that case, this seat wants to meet her even more."
He patted Chang Xiyue's fragrant shoulder, signaling her to be at ease.
"Don't worry."
"A mere Ancient Heavenly Emperor can't do anything to me."
Then, his tone changed, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"With that female emperor's talent, if she hadn't fallen midway, she would have probably achieved the Immortal King Realm long ago, or even touched a higher Realm."
"In the future, if our Xuanhuang Great World is to oppose that Dark Great Realm, she might be a great help."
Su Xuanchen's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable confidence.
It was as if in his eyes, that Female Heavenly Emperor who once suppressed an era was just a combat unit that could be recruited.
Hearing this, Chang Xiyue let out a faint sigh and shook her head.
"Husband, I'm afraid things aren't that simple."
"If the female emperor had truly become an Immortal King, with her character, she would have already killed her way back to the Xuanhuang Great World and liquidated all those forces that were once her enemies."
"Now that there's no news, most likely... she's in a bad state."
"Perhaps, she might have even..."
She didn't dare say the word "died."
"Oh?"
Gu Lingshuang listened with great interest and interjected again.
"So you mean, she's currently a beauty in distress?"
She winked at Su Xuanchen and teased.
"What, could it be that you want to follow the example of that Ancient Heavenly Emperor and marry her by force?"
As soon as these words came out.
In Chang Xiyue's eyes, without any warning, a brilliant light lit up.
As if she had been enlightened, she suddenly raised her head, looked at Su Xuanchen, and said with a serious face.
"Husband, I think Sister Lingshuang's idea... is excellent!"
"..."
Su Xuanchen was stunned.
He looked at his wife, who was usually as cold as an immortal but was now saying such shocking things, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Gu Lingshuang was even more dumbfounded; she had just made a casual joke and didn't expect to get official certification from Chang Xiyue.
Su Xuanchen looked at Chang Xiyue's eyes, which were full of seriousness, and after a long time, he shook his head with a laugh.
He didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he took a step forward and gently pulled Chang Xiyue into his arms.
He lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on that smooth forehead.
Then.
He looked into her eyes and said very solemnly, word by word.
"Yue'er."
"You are already my wife."
"In this life, I will definitely protect you; no one can harm you in the slightest."
Those plain words contained a tenderness and overbearingness enough to make any woman fall for him.
Chang Xiyue's eye socket instantly turned red.
She buried her head in Su Xuanchen's chest, feeling that familiar warmth and peace of mind, and nodded vigorously.
"Mm."
A long time passed.
Only then did Su Xuanchen release her and take her soft, boneless hand.
He glanced at the still-dazed Gu Lingshuang, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.
"As for that female emperor..."
He intentionally paused to build suspense.
Then, he shrugged and said jokingly in a casual tone.
"If she really appears, at worst, I'll just marry her back as well."
Those relaxed words instantly dissipated the previous heavy atmosphere.
It was as if in his eyes, marrying a Female Heavenly Emperor who once suppressed an era was just a trivial matter.
Hearing this, Gu Lingshuang rolled her eyes again, but a huge wave had already risen in her heart.
This man.
He could always inadvertently say the most overbearing and reassuring words.
She looked at that figure in white as snow, and her Emperor's Heart, which had been silent for countless epochs, actually skipped a beat uncontrollably.
