Chapter 385
With a gentle wave of its hand, silvery starlight rose from the battlefield, dazzling like a galaxy. The land, once stained with blood, became vibrant with life, and everything quietly vanished.
Nalan Jingwen stared intently, his eyes welling up with tears.
“I have erased their memories and sent them home.”
Go home, it's all over.
'Aman' spoke again: 'You have one more wish.'
Nalan Jingwen turned his head to look at it blankly, and finally shook his head gently.
"I have no intention of achieving anything."
Don't you want to save your loved one's life?
it asked.
But Nalan Jingwen shook his head.
Xue Qingheng and Chi Chenyi cannot be resurrected overnight. One is a divine beast of the four directions, and the other is the patriarch of the demon race. They cannot be resurrected so easily. Their physical bodies have been destroyed, and their souls were unconscious the moment they left their bodies. After being damaged, they drifted in the world and have long since left this place. She must go to find them herself and rebuild their physical bodies.
And Rong Hengyu...
She ran over quickly, picked up Rong Hengyu, and brought him to 'Aman'. "I want to save him."
'Aman' lowered her gaze to his protruding belly, then gently shook her head.
"He doesn't need me to save him."
Nalan Jingwen didn't understand, but 'Aman' said, "Someone will save him."
Nalan Jingwen didn't know who could save Rong Hengyu, so he could only use his Xuan power to stop the bleeding from his wounds.
"If you can't think of one, then I'll make the decision for you."
After saying that, "Aman" sent a streak of light flying towards the horizon, then splitting into five streaks of light in the air and disappearing into the sky. Nalan Jingwen looked over in a daze and then heard a familiar voice.
"Ah Wen!"
"elder sister!"
"Wife master!"
Liu Qishan, Jinse, Nalan Yin, and Pei Yunche were led towards her. She stared blankly at them. 'Aman' looked at her gently and said slowly, "Didn't you always want to ask me for some interest before?"
"From this day forward, they will return to the divine realm with you and share endless years with you."
Nalan Jingwen suddenly turned his head and stared at it intently, as if in disbelief.
With a flick of her sleeve, 'Aman' produced a lamp that emitted a faint glow, which she then handed to Nalan Jingwen in a soft voice.
"This is the Soul Lamp. The souls of the Nether Dragon and the Demon King are both within it. Nurture them well, and in time, they will surely be reunited."
The soul lamp transformed into a wisp of blue flame and entered Nalan Jingwen's brow. 'Aman' raised her hand again and stroked her cheek, gently yet powerfully, as if it could soothe all the unease and fear in her heart.
"It's all over, you are still the only god in the world."
Go back to where you belong.
The sound gradually faded away, and the woman's face became increasingly blurry. No matter how hard Nalan Jingwen tried, he couldn't see her clearly. Finally, the blurry face became clear again. It was clearly the same face, but he couldn't find any similarity to the previous one.
All those who had fainted slowly regained consciousness, looking around blankly. Helian Ziyu looked at Nangong Shiyu beside him and helped her up.
"How are you?"
Nangong Shiyu touched her chest. "I feel a bit unwell, like I just went through the gates of hell."
Helian Ziyu rolled her eyes, looked around, as if she had remembered something.
"Where is Nangong Yu'an? And where is our army?"
Nangong Shiyu was also taken aback by the question.
Yeah! Where are they?!
Seeing Nalan Jingwen's back to them, the two quickly walked towards her. On the way, they also encountered Hongyun, whose injuries had not yet healed. Helian Ziyu simply picked her up and they went to find Nalan Jingwen together.
When Aman saw Nalan Jingwen, she was startled. She quickly checked herself to make sure she was unharmed before letting out a sigh of relief. She thought Nalan Jingwen had brought her here again.
"Why am I here?"
She raised a question.
Nalan Jingwen didn't speak, he just looked at her, his eyes filled with emotions she couldn't understand.
Liu Qishan and his three companions approached Nalan Jingwen, checking her for injuries. Xingxiu and the others also gathered around, looking at Rong Hengyu in her arms, and hesitated, saying, "My lord..."
Liu Qishan's gaze fell on Rong Hengyu's protruding belly, and a look of regret and sadness flashed in his eyes.
He and Jinse were often taken care of by Rong Hengyu in the palace. Whether it was genuine or not, they did live very well and were not neglected in the slightest. They had received Rong Hengyu's kindness, so they had no right to hate him.
He only felt sorry for Nalan Jingwen, feeling sorry for the suffering he had endured.
Jingchi reached out to take Rong Hengyu, but Nalan Jingwen turned his hand away.
"Is he dead?"
Pei Yunche asked.
Liu Qishan subconsciously looked at Nalan Jingwen, and seeing that she had no expression, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and said softly, "Young Master Pei, be careful with your words."
Then he took Rong Hengyu's pulse, his brows gradually furrowing.
“Ah Wen, he…”
What happened next was obvious to everyone: Rong Hengyu was beyond saving.
Ah Man, who had been ignored, pushed through the crowd and said, "Let me take a look."
Nalan Jingwen finally lifted his eyelids and looked at her.
She looked at it carefully, glanced at Nalan Jingwen, closed her eyes and pondered for a while, and finally came to a conclusion.
"It can be saved."
……
Inside the Prince's Mansion.
Nalan Jingwen, Helian Ziyu, and the other two stood in the courtyard, watching the servants carrying basins of water coming and going in and out of the house. Helian Ziyu hooked her arm around Nalan Jingwen's neck.
"Don't worry, didn't someone say they could save him? Don't fret."
After learning that Nangong Yu'an was dead, the two calmed down. However, Nangong Shiyu asked where Xue Qingheng was.
Nalan Jingwen only said that he had returned to where he belonged. Nangong Shiyu was a smart person and naturally understood that some things could not be said, so he did not ask any further questions.
Nalan Jingwen remained silent and did not speak.
She was feeling extremely conflicted and didn't know how to treat Rong Hengyu.
The betrayal was real, and so was saving her; that's why I couldn't make a choice.
Ultimately, she decided not to kill Rong Hengyu, but to take him back to the Divine Realm. After the child was born, she would sever all ties with him. The child would naturally stay with her, and wherever he went would have nothing to do with her.
Xingxiu walked in from outside and said respectfully, "My lord, Nalan Fengxing has committed suicide."
Nalan Jingwen showed no reaction, as if he had expected it.
"Understood, let's go down."
She didn't want to sit on the throne; the human throne was useless to her. So she simply handed over Feng Tian and Bai Ji to Xing Su and the others to manage temporarily.
Since they haven't left the divine realm for a long time, this is a good opportunity for them to train.
Helian Ziyu, however, kept staring at Xingxiu's back, seemingly lost in thought.
Rong Hengyu was successfully rescued, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even though they didn't like Rong Hengyu, they couldn't bear to watch Nalan Jingwen's child die.
Everything was starting to move in a positive direction. The once desolate and lonely royal palace was once again filled with laughter and joy. Nangong Shiyu stayed with her for a few days before returning to Qilin. Qilin now needed an emperor.
Helian Ziyu, however, lingered and didn't leave. Nalan Jingwen didn't chase her away either, since Sushui wasn't hers anyway. Besides, once Rong Hengyu recovered, they would return to the Divine Realm, and Helian Ziyu could stay as long as she wanted without anyone kicking her out.
What Nalan Jingwen didn't expect was that one night Helian Ziyu suddenly climbed through the window into his room, plopped down on a chair, and threw the things in his hand onto the table with a crisp sound, which made Nalan Jingwen's eyelids twitch.
"doing what?"
Helian Ziyu smiled strangely, "Can I borrow some of your men?"
"Who do you want?"
"Anyone will do. The men under you are no ordinary people. I have no choice."
Nalan Jingwen refused with a cold face.
"No."
"No way! We've been through thick and thin together. You wouldn't even lend me someone. I was such an innocent woman back then, and I even helped you find a husband!"
Helian Ziyu started bringing up old grievances, leaving Nalan Jingwen helpless.
"what are you up to?"
Helian Ziyu opened the package on the table and pushed it in front of her.
"Can you do me a small favor?"
Inside were Su Shui's imperial seal and military tally. Nalan Jingwen frowned.
"You don't want the throne anymore?"
Helian Ziyu waved his hand, "I just want to ask your men to manage the dormitory water for me for a few years."
That being said, she could easily appoint a regent to govern the country for her, but she handed over the imperial seal and military tally together. Isn't that a clear abdication?
Nalan Jingwen knew that Helian Ziyu was naturally unrestrained and loved freedom, and was unwilling to live in the capital. However, he did not expect that she could not even wait a day, as if she were throwing away a hot potato.
"Since governing two countries is the same as governing three, why not govern them all at once?"
Nalan Jingwen stared at her intently.
"Have you considered?"
Helian Ziyu dropped his nonchalant attitude and smiled at her.
"The throne is a constraint for me. If I could, I would prefer to roam the boundless grasslands or wander the world with a sword."
She turned her head to look at the bright moon outside the window, her eyes gentle.
"I also want to see what my father's hometown looks like, and whether the moon there is as bright and clear as he described."
Nalan Jingwen stared at her, remaining silent for a moment.
Helian Ziyu pushed the imperial seal closer to her again.
"Consider it something I owe you."
Nalan Jingwen still did not agree, but said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. Go and ask Xingxiu. If she agrees, I won't interfere."
Helian Ziyu was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.
"Then it's settled!!"
