109: Chapter 109 Slaying the Chosen One Wang Ning, Returning to Xuan Yang City in the Immortal Realm
High above the vast and boundless sky, amidst the swirling clouds and mist, a figure suddenly materialized out of thin air.
Looking closely, this figure turned out to be a young man dressed in a white robe. Standing beside him was a woman wearing a silver gown; her hem fluttered in the wind, making her look like a Fairy descending to the mortal world.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for slaying the Child of Fortune Wang Ning. You have obtained 40,000 sign-in chances."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3,000 wisps of Heavenly Dao Luck."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the title 'Elementary Villain' and 3,000 Villain Points."
At that moment, the mechanical voice of the System echoed in the man's mind.
The man in the white robe was none other than Cao Yang, and the woman in silver was Empress Mingyue.
Upon hearing the System's notification, Cao Yang was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "To think this Wang Ning was also a Child of Fortune. However, he didn't seem as powerful as imagined; after all, the previous Child of Fortune possessed a Sacred Artifact."
Earlier, Cao Yang had feared that Wang Ning might have some special tricks up his sleeve, which was why he personally went to slay Wang Ning.
Because if he had only used long-range attacks, it might have allowed Wang Ning's true spirit to escape. Now that he had acted personally, success was naturally guaranteed.
Afterward, Cao Yang turned his head, looking at Empress Mingyue beside him with a gentle gaze, and asked softly, "Yueer, is there anywhere you want to go for fun? Or is there anything else you want to do?"
Empress Mingyue smiled slightly, shook her head gently, and replied, "Brother Cao, I will follow your arrangements."
Cao Yang nodded and said, "In that case, let's return to the inn to rest for the night and return to the Immortal Realm tomorrow." Having said that, he led Empress Mingyue away from that part of the sky.
"Yueer, do you think I was too cruel?"
"No, Brother Cao. You were right to kill Wang Ning. One must cut the grass and pull up the roots, otherwise, it's easy to stumble!"
Empress Mingyue said with a serious expression.
"Furthermore, based on my understanding of Wang Ning, if he hadn't died, he would definitely have sought revenge against us in the future. He used to pursue me, but I ignored him. If you hadn't intended to kill him before we left this time, I was already planning to suggest that you kill him!"
Empress Mingyue spoke slowly, her face full of admiration for Cao Yang's actions.
"Mm, Yueer, it's good that you think that way. I don't know if you'll believe me, but just now I suddenly sensed a surge of overwhelming resentment directed at me. I only discovered it was from someone named Wang Ning, which is why I killed him!"
Cao Yang also slowly explained.
"Mm, Brother Cao, I naturally believe you!"
As Empress Mingyue spoke, she leaned her entire body into Cao Yang's embrace.
"Yueer, actually, I've been keeping a secret from you. I can sense the hostility and Killing Intent others have toward me. This ability gives me more warning time when facing danger."
Cao Yang looked tenderly at Empress Mingyue in his arms and spoke softly.
"Really? That's wonderful! That way, we can better deal with potential threats. But I suppose this is part of what makes you special. I'm very happy you're willing to share this secret with me."
Empress Mingyue smiled slightly, her eyes full of trust.
"Yes, Yueer. So when I felt Wang Ning's hatred for me, I chose to slay him without hesitation. Although it might seem a bit cruel, I know that if I hadn't done so, it might have brought us even greater trouble in the future."
Cao Yang's tone was firm, and his gaze revealed a hint of decisiveness.
"Brother Cao, I understand your decision and support you. We live in a world where the strong prey on the weak; sometimes we must take decisive action to protect ourselves and those around us. As long as we have justice in our hearts, we don't need to care about the opinions of others."
Empress Mingyue tightly grasped Cao Yang's hand, offering him encouragement and support.
"Thank you, Yueer. With your understanding and support, I feel incredibly happy. No matter what difficulties or challenges we encounter, I will face them bravely with you."
Cao Yang looked deeply at Empress Mingyue. Their gazes met, filled with love and trust.
At this moment, their hearts grew closer as they faced the unknown future together, walking hand in hand.
Finally, they returned to the inn.
Early the next morning, the two of them packed up and prepared to return to the southwestern region of the Immortal Realm.
"Yueer, let's go," Cao Yang said gently to Empress Mingyue.
"Mm," Empress Mingyue nodded obediently and followed Cao Yang out of the inn.
Along the way, Empress Mingyue seemed very excited, constantly asking Cao Yang about Xuanyang Hall.
"Brother Cao, what is Xuanyang like?"
"Brother Cao, what are we going to do after we get back?"
...
Cao Yang patiently answered her questions, his heart filled with warmth.
Finally, they returned to the southwestern region of the Immortal Realm and arrived at the prosperous Xuanyang City.
"Wow, is this Xuanyang City? It's so grand! It's completely different from before!" Empress Mingyue exclaimed in wonder.
"Yes, this is just one corner of Xuanyang City. There are many more spectacular places waiting for you to discover," Cao Yang said with a smile.
"That's great, I can't wait to see more scenery," Empress Mingyue said excitedly.
"Don't worry, there will be plenty of time for you to enjoy it slowly in the future," Cao Yang comforted her.
Afterward, Cao Yang brought Empress Mingyue into Xuanyang Hall and met his other women.
"This is Empress Mingyue. From now on, she will also be your sister. Everyone must get along harmoniously," Cao Yang introduced.
"Greetings, Elder Sister," the women said one after another, bowing.
"Younger sisters, there is no need for such formality. Please look after me in the future," Empress Mingyue replied with a smile.
From then on, Empress Mingyue became a member of Cao Yang's harem, starting a new and different life.
