Chapter 236: Happy Birthday 12.14
Lingxiao Palace,
"My Lords, I have seen the Celestial Emperor."
"You should have learned something by now, right?" Yang Chen inquired.
"I, along with a few junior brothers, calculated that the star signs indicate 'the reverse dragon emerges from the abyss,'" said Tianjizi, the head of the Astronomical Bureau. Upon hearing this, Yi Tianzheng also nodded.
"National Master, what do you think I should do?" Yang Chen asked.
"The Celestial Emperor has his own ideas; there is no need to consult this old minister," Yi Tianzheng replied with a smile.
"This day has ultimately come. National Master, issue an order for the three armies to be on alert, each to distribute ten Nourishing Essence Pills to prevent chaos. At the same time, inform the Demon Emperor to strengthen defenses in the wilderness!" Yang Chen stated. "No matter what happens, my wedding must not be disturbed."
"My Lords understand," everyone nodded in agreement.
"Send my decree: except for the Seven Princes within the Immortal Kingdom, dispatch all Dou Sheng powerhouses from the Immortal Kingdom to guard the Eight Directions against Rogues," Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor." With that, everyone began to withdraw.
"To the west..." Yang Chen murmured.
On the second day of July, the sky turned dark, unlike yesterday; everyone felt that something significant was about to happen.
On the third day of July, the sky grew increasingly darker, as if the sun were obscured and unable to emit light.
On the fourth day of July, only a faint glimmer remained in the sky, resembling a boundary between night and dawn.
July Fifth, the sky no longer held a trace of brightness, only darkness.
July Sixth, the Sky was shrouded in blackness, with visibility reduced to nothing. Despite this, the Shadowkill Celestial Kingdom remained in a festive atmosphere.
July Seventh,
"Proclaim my decree: my grand wedding shall be celebrated throughout the land! Pharmaceutical Emperor!"
"Your servant is here."
"I command you to lead one billion soldiers, prepare sixteen bridal palanquins, and head to Mercenary King City to welcome Queen Qian'er."
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"Thunder Emperor."
"Your servant is here."
"I command you to lead one billion soldiers, prepare sixteen bridal palanquins, and head to Skywind Dynasty to welcome Vermilion Bird Consort."
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"Flame Emperor."
"Your servant is here."
"I command you to lead one billion soldiers, prepare sixteen bridal palanquins, and head to Carefree Royal Residence to welcome Yao'er Consort."
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"Dragon Emperor."
"Your servant is here."
"I command you to lead one billion soldiers, prepare sixteen phoenix carriages, and head to the Celestial Maiden sacred ground to welcome the Moonlight Fairy on my behalf."
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"Nightmare Legion Commander."
"Your servant is here."
"Dispatch one billion Nightmare soldiers to accompany me to the Shadow Kill Pavilion to marry the Spirit Fairy."
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"National Master, I entrust all ceremonial matters to you."
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"Where is Heavenly Craft Manor?" Yang Chen shouted.
"I am here." Tang An and Tang Feng stepped forward and respectfully replied.
"Light the lanterns!"
"Yes, Celestial Emperor." After speaking, several beams of light suddenly illuminated the surroundings, shooting straight into the sky. However, they were ultimately blocked by the Five Elements Four Symbols formation, and then projected back down, forming a series of hearts interlocking with each other. Instantly, the area was filled with light. This beam of light acted like a signal, and soon after, other cities began to light up with the same beams, one after another, increasing in number until they reached other territories and even the entire Heavenly Continent.
"Rain Monarch," Yang Chen called out.
"Your servant is here," Lin Mu Yu said respectfully.
"Prepare sixteen phoenix carriages to accompany me to Shadow Kill Pavilion to welcome Ling'er Consort."
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"National Master, during my absence from the Celestial Kingdom, everything will be handled by you," Yang Chen said meaningfully.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor. I will ensure that no Rogue disturbs our Celestial Kingdom," Yi Tianzheng replied respectfully.
"Mm." Yang Chen nodded and then commanded, "Let’s set off for Shadow Kill Pavilion!"
"Yes, Celestial Emperor!" One billion soldiers shouted in unison.
Then Yang Chen leaped onto the Nine Dragon Carriage presented by the Demon Emperor and shouted, "Depart!"
"Roar!" The Nine-Headed Eight-Stage Demon Dragon let out a mighty roar and flew towards the sky, heading for Shadow Kill Pavilion, followed closely by one billion Fighting Saint Experts.
--------------------------------
An hour later, Yang Chen appeared above Shadow Kill Pavilion. At this time, Shadow Kill Pavilion was filled with festive decorations, with bright red silk and auspicious symbols everywhere.
"Descend," Yang Chen commanded.
Then, one billion troops landed with great fanfare. Meanwhile, Rain Monarch raised his voice and called out, "Where are Shadow Emperor and Shadow King?"
"I am here, Shadow Emperor/Shadow King, to welcome the Celestial Emperor," two individuals stepped out from the crowd who had been waiting.
They spoke respectfully, and then the crowd behind Shadow Emperor knelt on one knee in unison and exclaimed, "We welcome the Celestial Emperor."
"Everyone, no need for formalities," Yang Chen said with a smile as he stepped out of the dragon's embrace. "Today is my day of great joy, a celebration for all, let us keep it simple."
"Thank you, Celestial Emperor," everyone stood up and respectfully replied.
"Shadow Emperor, has Ling'er come out of seclusion yet?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Not yet," Shadow Emperor replied bitterly.
Yang Chen frowned slightly and then said, "I believe Ling'er will come out. Take me to where Ling'er is in seclusion."
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"Rain Monarch, present the betrothal gifts to Shadow Emperor," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor."
"Butler," Shadow Emperor commanded.
"Yes, old master."
"Celestial Emperor, please," Shadow Emperor said.
"Mm." Yang Chen nodded and then followed Shadow Emperor to the place where Fu Ling was in seclusion.
The forbidden area of seclusion was still surrounded by barriers, unable to connect with the outside world. Fu Tianxiong waved his hand and dismissed everyone.
"Sigh, it's all my fault," Shadow Emperor said bitterly. "It's been ten years; I haven't seen my Ling'er for ten years."
"If it weren't for me, Ling'er wouldn't have been in seclusion for ten years," Yang Chen said with emotion, no longer referring to himself as 'I.'
"Chen, is that you? You've come?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from within the secluded area; it was Fu Ling.
"Ling'er, Ling'er, Yang Chen has arrived, Yang Chen has arrived! Please come out!" Fu Tianxiong said with tears streaming down his face. Ever since Fu Ling had asked about the fasting pill nine years ago, she had not spoken a word since.
Yang Chen understood Fu Tianxiong's feelings and did not harbor any resentment towards him.
"Father, forgive your unfilial daughter. If Chen hadn't come, I wouldn't have the face to see you," Fu Ling said bitterly yet happily.
"Ling'er, Yang Chen really has come! It's true!!" Fu Tianxiong hurriedly replied.
"Father, don't trick me..."
"Ling'er, I'm here," Yang Chen said, his voice unexpectedly hoarse.
"Chen, Chen..." Just as she spoke, the barrier suddenly opened with a loud crash. A beautiful figure rushed out and flew straight towards Yang Chen. He smiled slightly, his eyes misting over as he embraced her tightly, greedily inhaling her scent and murmuring, "It's been ten years, Ling'er. You've suffered."
"No, this is what Ling'er wanted," Fu Ling choked out.
"Ling'er, come with me. I'll take you back," Yang Chen said gently.
"Yes, I've been waiting for this day for a long time," Fu Ling replied happily.
"Ling'er, it's been ten years. You should talk to your father too; he's been blaming himself all this time," Yang Chen said on behalf of Fu Tianxiong.
