Chapter 152
Tongues of flame licked at the coffin, and the temperature around them quickly began to rise.
Ye Piaoling burst into sorrowful tears again. “Great Enchanter, you came back for nothing. The two of us are about to be done for…”
It was all her fault. She had made him come all this way for nothing!
Di Xiulan smiled quietly. “Your Majesty, I can take you away. Are you willing to leave with me?”
Ye Piaoling froze. “You have a way out?”
Di Xiulan nodded. “I do. But you must promise me that no matter when or where, you will stay with me for the rest of our lives…”
Ye Piaoling could already feel her backside roasting, so she hurriedly nodded. “I promise!”
Di Xiulan continued, “Even if you no longer need me as your Cauldron in the future, you must still take the initiative to spend the night with me, and happily sleep in my bed…”
“I promise! I promise everything!”
Ye Piaoling said quickly, “Right, I have a question too…”
Di Xiulan’s lips curved into a smile. “Too late.”
With that, he sealed her words with a kiss.
Boom!
The raging flames burned through the coffin.
A long dream came to a spectacular end amid the roaring blaze!
…
Ye Piaoling opened her eyes.
The scorching, barbecue-like heat around her body was gone.
The man beside her pushed open the coffin lid. Clear sunlight spilled in, and for a moment, it felt as if a lifetime had passed.
Ye Piaoling sat up blankly.
It took her a long while to recover before she realized that everything just now had been a dream!
She blinked, dazedly understanding it all.
She had taken the Evil Lord’s spiritual power, and because of that, she had suffered cultivation deviation… Then Di Xiulan had dragged her into a dream, and in that dream, she had finally shaken off the corruption of her demonic nature and returned to her true self.
Ye Piaoling turned to look at Di Xiulan.
After a long pause, she stared at him and asked the question she hadn’t finished in the dream.
“Does the one billion still count?”
“…”
Di Xiulan laughed and said lightly, “If you marry me, it counts.”
Ye Piaoling swallowed.
Di Xiulan said, “I have already married you once. Whether by sentiment or reason, you should marry me once in return.”
Ye Piaoling took a deep breath and said with absolute conviction, “I’ll marry you! Under these circumstances, I absolutely have to marry you!”
One billion!
Forget marrying him once-even if she had to marry him a hundred times, she would be willing!
The man’s eyes shimmered. Once more, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply…
…
Meanwhile, Xiao Changye heard that something major had happened at the Prime Minister’s Mansion and hurried over.
Ye Liaozhai was still badly shaken. When he saw that the emperor had come in person, he quickly knelt on the ground. “Your Majesty!”
Xiao Changye asked, “Where are Master and that Damn Woman?”
Ye Liaozhai pointed toward the bedchamber. “Inside…”
Xiao Changye immediately pushed the door open and went in.
Liang Yun and the hidden guards from Chonghua Palace were all standing guard outside the room. Since he was the emperor, they could hardly stop him, so they let him enter.
Xiao Changye entered the bedchamber and saw that there was no one in the outer room. The inner room’s door was tightly locked, so he immediately knew those two had to be inside!
He hurried toward the inner room, but halfway there, he accidentally knocked over the fish tank on the table with a bang.
Splash!
Water spilled all over the floor, and the Koi fell out too, flopping desperately on the ground.
Xiao Changye had no attention to spare for it. Just as he was about to push open the door to the inner room, a silly sand bird suddenly flew over and blocked him.
“Don’t go in! Not suitable for children!”
Xiao Changye glared at it. “What are you supposed to be?”
For a moment, Silly Prophet was overwhelmed with complicated emotions.
“I was originally supposed to be your partner.”
Xiao Changye frowned in confusion. “And then?”
Silly Prophet said, “And then I misjudged the situation and became the enemy’s partner instead… In the end, my feelings were misplaced. Caw, caw, caw!”
Xiao Changye: “…”
He truly could not understand a single word this sandy freak of a bird was saying.
He wanted to enter the inner room, but Silly Prophet stopped him. “You can’t go in. The two of them are doing embarrassing things inside the coffin!”
Xiao Changye: “…?”
While the two of them were engaged in an extremely obstructed conversation, the Koi behind them, deprived of water, was almost dried to death.
It flopped back and forth across the floor, struggling with all its might, until it finally burst out with magical power and temporarily transformed into a human, gasping for air.
“Damn it, I nearly suffocated!”
Hearing the voice, Xiao Changye turned around in astonishment.
Only then did he see that at some point, a man in black had appeared in the room. More importantly, there were dragons embroidered on the man’s clothes!
Xiao Changye immediately roared, “Where did this lawless commoner come from, daring to wear dragon robes?!”
Calamity Heart Azure Dragon glanced at him and said, “I was a dragon to begin with. What’s wrong with me wearing dragon robes?”
“Impudent! Spouting such outrageous nonsense-are you trying to rebel?” Xiao Changye flew into a rage. “I am the dragon! I am the true dragon, the Son of Heaven!”
Calamity Heart Azure Dragon was shocked. “You said you’re a dragon?”
He had always thought he was the only dragon in the world, doomed to eternal loneliness and cold solitude…
Could it be that another of his kind actually existed?
Xiao Changye said proudly, “Of course! The Son of Heaven of Dali is a dragon!”
Azure Dragon said, “I don’t believe you.”
Xiao Changye frowned. “You dare not believe me?”
Azure Dragon said, “When dragons transform into humans, they wear dragon robes by default. If you’re also a dragon, why aren’t you wearing dragon robes?”
Xiao Changye: “…”
He had planned to sneak out in plain clothes today for some fun. Then he had suddenly heard that something had happened at the Prime Minister’s Mansion and rushed here, so he was only wearing ordinary white brocade robes.
Xiao Changye said, “My dragon robes are in the palace.”
Azure Dragon gave a disdainful snort. “I knew you’d say that. There aren’t even any dragons on your clothes, and you still have the nerve to claim you’re a dragon.”
Xiao Changye grew anxious. “Who said there aren’t any dragons on my clothes? There are dragons on my underpants!”
Azure Dragon said, “Really? Let me see your underpants.”
