Chapter 270 Return
Suzhou.
In a garden full of flowers.
Dongfang Bai and Qiu Moyan, wearing bright red wedding gowns and gorgeous silver jewelry on their heads, gathered around Ning Zhongze and persuaded him, "Sister Ning, among the three of us, the young master loves you the most. If you don't marry him, he will be very sad. You love him so much, how can you be so cruel to see him sad?"
"Sister Ning, the wedding dress that Brother Cheng prepared for you is really beautiful. You will look stunning in it. Take off your clothes quickly and we will help you change."
"I have made up my mind. Don't try to persuade me. Let's go to the wedding hall and don't miss the good time."
Ning Zhongze could never make the decision to marry again, but it was also difficult for her to go back and continue living with her senior brother, so she was in a dilemma for a while.
Fortunately, there are still two and a half years left before the five-year deadline, so I can take my time to consider whether to get married or not.
"Sister Ning~~"
Dongfang Bai wanted to persuade him further, but Qiu Moyan held his shoulders, and then they both walked out with disappointed looks on their faces.
In the past six months, the three of them have been inseparable from Cheng Long, practicing together during the day and fighting side by side at night. They have long become good sisters who can talk about anything.
But even if the three of them were united in heart and often fought side by side, they were still no match for Cheng Long alone.
When the five-year period is over and Ning Zhongze returns to Huashan, only she and Mo Yan will be left, and perhaps with the addition of Teacher Bai. However, Bai Ling is a female ghost, and spends most of her time practicing with the Soul Nurturing Jade, in the hope of becoming a ghost fairy and a real woman.
However, the two of them persuaded Ning Zhongze that their good relationship was only one reason, and the other reason was actually... they wanted more people to share the firepower.
They men are too strong.
Even though they have absorbed the blood and essence energy of 120-130 people, their physical fitness is very strong and it is difficult for ordinary swords and guns to break through their defenses. Their normal strength is 10-25 tons, but in front of Cheng Long, it is still not enough.
They even thought about buying eight or ten maids for the man.
Unfortunately, Cheng Long looked down on ordinary women and said that in this world, he only had a special liking for these three people...
"It looks like you guys have failed too!"
In the living room, seeing Qiu Moyan and Dongfang Bai walking out of the room with drooping shoulders, Cheng Long's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment. It has been almost two and a half years, and Lady Ning still can't make up her mind to marry him.
Could it be that he and Aning were really only in love for five years?
"Brother Cheng, Sister Ning still has more than two years before she leaves. There is still a lot of time. I believe that when the deadline comes, Sister will definitely change her mind. Let's go to the wedding hall first!"
"Well, let's go!"
Cheng Long stretched out his hands and held the soft hands of Qiu Moyan and Dongfang Bai respectively.
At the beginning of today's wedding ceremony, not many people came, only the Minister of War Yang Yuxuan, the chief instructor of the Imperial Guard Zhou Huaian, as well as Liu Zhengfeng, Lin Zhennan, Master Dingyi, Yilin and others.
Huashan did not receive the notification!
Because Cheng Long was worried that inviting people from Huashan to watch the ceremony would make Aning even more resistant. Even if she was covered with a red veil during the ceremony, Ning Zhongze would not be able to participate as long as he thought of his senior brothers, daughter, and disciples watching in the hall.
However, many times, things don't go as planned.
Although Cheng Long notified very few people, on his wedding day, many people still came uninvited, including Huashan's leader Yue Buqun, as well as Yue Lingshan, Linghu Chong and other disciples.
Cheng Long was embarrassed when he found Yue Buqun and his disciples coming to congratulate him. He was suddenly glad that Aning didn't wear a wedding dress, otherwise it would be hard to explain to others...
"Brother Cheng, you are so mean. You didn't even inform us of such a big happy event as your marriage. You made us rush over to congratulate you after we received the news. I had to travel for several days and I was exhausted."
There was some resentment in Yue Lingshan's eyes when she spoke, as if she was blaming the other party, "You married both of them, why didn't you add her as one more."
Cheng Long understood Lingshan's complaint, but he ignored it and smiled, saying, "Shan'er, today is your brother's big day, you have to toast me later."
"You're dreaming. I won't toast you! Where's my mother? Where did you take her?" Yue Lingshan crossed her arms, looking proud.
Cheng Long smiled slightly and said, "Rest in the back hall. I will take you to see her after the wedding ceremony is completed."
Linghu Chong couldn't help but interrupt, "Master Cheng, my master's wife's hidden illness hasn't been cured yet?"
"Yes, she will need to undergo more than a dozen treatments with me, and it is estimated that she will take two and a half years to recover..."
"Chong'er, Shan'er, please take your seats."
Yue Buqun was very attentive and brought Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan to the table to prevent them from asking too many questions.
Some things don't even need to be asked. If he wasn't worried that Cheng Long's bride might be one of his junior sisters, he wouldn't have come all the way to congratulate the other party.
"Prince Yu has arrived..."
As the doorman's shout suddenly rang out, the guests who were already seated in the hall stood up one after another to welcome His Royal Highness the Prince who had come from afar.
Cheng Long, who originally wanted to have a low-key wedding, had to go out to greet her.
As more and more people came, the lack of preparation was exposed to everyone.
The six tables in the auditorium were packed with people.
Fortunately, the result was perfect.
Nothing went wrong at the wedding.
……
The next day.
Inner courtyard of Cheng Mansion.
Yue Lingshan, who had been curious since yesterday, got up early in the morning and found her mother whom she hadn’t seen for a long time. She hugged her mother’s arm and said coquettishly, “Mom, you have become so beautiful now, tall and beautiful. If I were not your daughter, I would have felt a natural sense of familiarity when I saw you and would not have recognized you.”
"Shan'er, mother has become younger, aren't you happy?"
Ning Zhongze said with a smile.
She was very happy to see her daughter whom she hadn't seen for more than two years, but she was also afraid that her daughter would ask her all kinds of questions, and she felt very conflicted.
"happy!"
Yue Lingshan smiled sweetly and said, "Mom, did you become beautiful because of Brother Cheng's treatment? Can I stay for a few treatments? Can I become as beautiful and charming as you?"
"no!"
Ning Zhongze blurted out.
She became beautiful because of her hard work.
If Shan'er also had a relationship with the young master, wouldn't it be a mess?
"Mom, how can you be so selfish? You can abandon Daddy and stay with Brother Cheng for two or three years just to become beautiful, but why can't I stay and receive a few treatments?"
The more Yue Lingshan spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. After only two years of separation, she felt that her mother had changed. She was not as doting on her as before and even refused to ask Brother Cheng for a few treatments.
"Alas~~I really can't do anything with you!"
Ning Zhongze sighed, pinched his daughter's cheek, and said helplessly: "I will ask A-long later. If he agrees, you can stay for a few more days. If he disagrees, then you can go back to Huashan with your father."
"Brother Cheng is so good to me, he will definitely agree." Yue Lingshan replied confidently.
Ning Zhongze: "..."
If she wasn't afraid of undermining her daughter's confidence, she would have told Shan'er the truth.
If the young master hadn't looked down on a girl like you, how could mother be as beautiful as she is now?
……
On the third day after the marriage, Cheng Long called Yue Lingshan aside and gave her a serious blow in front of Ning Zhongze.
The portion is enough for about thirteen people, which is quite generous.
If he hadn't used a sleeping spell on Yue Lingshan when she was transfusing blood and energy, the girl would have screamed very loudly, causing unnecessary trouble...
"Mom, why do I feel stronger?"
A quarter of an hour later, Yue Lingshan woke up from her coma and suddenly found that her strength had increased several times, her mind became unusually clear, and she felt like a completely different person. She couldn't help feeling a little confused.
"This is an additional effect of healing, don't worry."
Ning Zhongze rubbed his daughter's head and said gently, "After lunch, go back with your father!"
"Mom, I want to stay with you."
"Be good, Mom will be back in two years, it will be quick."
"..."
Yue Lingshan actually wanted to stay, but her parents didn't agree, so she had to leave with a sense of grievance.
Ning Zhongze saw off Huashan and his group, feeling relieved.
In the past few days, she has been worried that her daughter or the Huashan disciples led by Linghu Chong would discover something, so she always kept her distance from Cheng Long.
Fortunately, all the worries did not come to pass.
The senior brother who had become neither male nor female had only approached me twice and asked me about some unimportant matters.
As the last group of guests left the mansion, Cheng Long lived a shameless and happy life with his two wives and maid "Aning".
During this period, Dongfang Bai took the initiative to release Ren Woxing and returned the position of the leader of the Sun Moon Sect to him.
Ren Woxing, who had been imprisoned for more than ten years, certainly refused to give up after regaining his freedom.
However, when he was slapped lightly by Dongfang Bai and flew dozens of meters away, losing most of his life, he finally realized the huge gap between himself and the opponent. After confirming again and again that Dongfang Bai had no intention of presiding over the Demon Cult, he returned to Heimu Cliff with reluctance and carried out drastic reforms.
At the same time, Huashan, which had been silent for many years, also opened its doors to the public and sought to recruit dozens of disciples, recruiting students from the entire Ming Dynasty.
Reviving Huashan is Lao Yue’s lifelong belief.
In the past, they did not dare to recruit disciples openly because they were not strong enough. They were afraid that if they recruited too many disciples, people would be afraid of them, which would lead to the crisis of extinction of the family.
Now, Lao Yue has improved his cultivation to the innate realm with the help of the Sunflower Manual, becoming a rare innate warrior in the world. Naturally, he does not need to worry about the covetousness of both the righteous and the evil.
……
It’s the fifth year since Cheng Long arrived at Xiaoao.
The spring equinox.
As the five-year deadline drew closer, the cheerful and generous Ning Zhongze gradually became taciturn, often sitting alone somewhere, staring blankly ahead.
Cheng Long knew that Aning was in trouble.
Next, he only needs to say some sweet words, or force the other party to stay, and then Mrs. Yue, who is in a dilemma, will definitely take advantage of the situation and stay.
But that's not his character.
What's more, he said from the beginning that the choice was up to Mrs. Yue.
He would not ask the other party to stay just because he had spent the blood and energy of one hundred and twenty or thirty people on the other party.
That morning, Dongfang Bai, whose figure was becoming more and more graceful, found Ning Zhongze, who was sitting under a tree in a daze, and said with a smile: "Sister Ning, if you are really in a dilemma, I have a very good idea here. It can not only help you preserve your reputation, but also let you stay with your husband..."
"any solution?"
Ning Zhongze's eyes lit up.
Having slept in the same bed with the young master for five years, she was reluctant to leave him now. But if she did not go back, people in the outside world would say that she was unfaithful to her husband and accused her of being an old cow eating young grass.
Now as long as there is a solution that has the best of both worlds, who cares whether the solution is good or not!
"The solution lies with Sister Ling..."
"A Ling?"
Ning Zhongze's pupils suddenly shrank, "Xiaobai, do you want me to die in Huashan?"
"Yes, with my husband's ability, as long as you dare to make this decision, he can help you become a ghost. Then you can be like Sister Ling and accompany your husband all the time."
Dongfang Baiti's suggestion is quite constructive. Ning Zhongze is Yue Buqun's wife. Staying with her man for a long time is indeed likely to attract gossip.
But if Ning Zhongze died suddenly, she would be free again and continue to accompany the young master she couldn't let go of as a ghost servant.
With the precedent of Bai Ling, this is a good way to have the best of both worlds.
Well, maybe it can’t be said to be a good solution, but it is definitely a helpless solution.
It depends on whether Lady Ning is willing to die for a man.
"Xiaobai, if you have such a good idea, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Ning Zhongze, who had been struggling with this issue for half a year, accepted Dongfang Bai's proposal without much thought and lived with Cheng Long for five years. It would be better to kill her with a knife than to let her go back and continue to live a dull life.
"Actually, I just remembered it."
"Xiaobai, what are you talking about?"
Qiu Moyan, dressed in red and looking heroic, walked over from the corridor.
"Second sister, I have thought of a way to achieve the best of both worlds for Sister Ning..."
Dongfang Bai smiled and told her plan.
After listening to this, Qiu Moyan frowned and said, "Sister Ning, are you sure you want to do this? My husband once told us that different worlds have different operating rules. People in Ling'er's world will become ghosts for various reasons after death, but the souls of people in our world will soon dissipate after death."
"Sister Ning, what the second sister said is right. The key point of this matter lies in my husband. We must tell him the plan and let him escort us. Only then will you have a chance to become a female ghost after you die."
Dongfang Bai was indeed inconsiderate just now, forgetting that different worlds have different operating rules. Fortunately, they did not act on their own, otherwise Sister Ning would have died in vain.
"I'll go tell him..." Ning Zhongze couldn't wait to run to the backyard and told Cheng Long exactly this 'best of both worlds' method.
"Aning, I'll be honest with you. Not only can I turn anyone in this world into a ghost, I can also turn their corpses into zombies. But have you really thought it through?"
Cheng Long has always wanted to find a companion for Teacher Bai, but he has not met a suitable target in the several copy worlds he has experienced in the past.
Now that Madam Yue had taken the initiative to die and wanted to transform into a ghost servant to accompany him, he was naturally happy to hear it.
"Master, I have thought it through very clearly, but I have one request. I want you to promise to give Shan'er a hundred portions of blood and essence energy, so that her physical fitness can become as strong as mine..."
"No problem, any other requests?"
"If possible, I hope you can help Chong'er too."
"..."
