The Eastern Dragon Goddess

Decisions

All the residents gathered outside their home pages. Tonight was the night to offer a prayer of gratitude for having successfully defeated the Black Shadow Sect, coupled with prayers for the health of Xu Lian who until now is still faithfully unconscious since three days ago.

They also do not forget to make or buy lantern lights as a delivery of prayers to the Gods.

The Wei Kingdom managed to destroy the Black Shadow Sect in one day. This news quickly spread in the direction. The entire Kingdom and the White Stream Sect trembled in admiration, they already knew about the original strength of the Wei Kingdom, hence they would no longer offend the Wei Kingdom. Although not included in the top three Western Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Wei remains a kingdom that has always been respected by other Kingdoms.

Likewise, the Black Stream Sect, which did not believe that the Black Shadow Sect, which belonged to the largest sect of the black stream, could be easily destroyed by the Wei Kingdom. They were indeed unaware of Xu Lian's existence with Zhang Xiuhuan, but they all still decided not to look for trouble with the Wei Kingdom.

Lantern lights began to fly, replacing the beauty of the stars in the night sky. Although the Kingdom of Wei looks very beautiful with thousands of lanterns flown, but there is not a single smile engraved on every face of the citizens.

Likewise, with a man who is always loyal in his seat, his face is never diverted from the body of a girl who is still always closing her eyes. His heart was still beating gently, indicating that there was still life in his owner's body.

Already these three days, Zhang Xiuhuan sat waiting for his girl to wake up, but there was no reaction whatsoever on Xu Lian's body. His hand clasped Xu Lian's hand tightly.

"Sorry" Zhang Xiuhuan looked at Xu Lian's face, then after that lowered his head. He could not bear to see Xu Lian's situation like this.

"It's all my fault"

"If only..."

"Well what, khok.."

Zhang Xiuhuan raised his face in disbelief, it is not a dream if now the girl is awake.

"Hey you're already conscious" Zhang Xiuhuan hugged Xu Lian's body tightly, "Ehh forgive me" he let go when he found out Xu Lian was hard to breathe because of him.

"Where is this?" Xu Lian circulated his gaze, this was not like his room.

"Zhang Xiuhuan's "prime room" helped when it was Xu Lian who wanted to wake up from his sleep.

"Do you need anything?" ask Zhang Xiuhuan.

Xu Lian simply shook his head slowly. His eyes stared out the window which now showed the night sky filled with lanterns.

"I don't know what they're doing with those lanterns, but they're saying it's for some kind of prayer" zhang Xiuhuan said as he looked at Xu Lian who was confused by the lanterns he saw.

From the direction the door opened and appeared a female servant carrying a tray on top of which contained like a potion.

"Mr Princess, you are already aware" Xu Lian did not reply, she only smiled lightly for her reaction.

"I will inform Her Majesty" The maid immediately went back, to inform the rest of the family.

Xu Lian stared at the departure of the female servant who was now blocked by the door that was closed again.

"What's your next plan?" ask Xu Lian.

Zhang Xiuhuan frowned confusedly, from the start he had no life plan, yes he only wanted to live with the person he loved for good just that.

"I don't know" Zhang Xiuhuan replied honestly.

"I have next plans" Zhang Xiuhuan waited calmly for what Xu Lian was going to say, "New life" Xu Lian said.

Before Zhang Xiuhuan asked what he meant by the 'New Life' the door of the room had opened and Xu Kong appeared with his two sons.

The three of them could only smile at Xu Lian's condition that was starting to improve.

"Father" for the first time Xu Lian called Xu Kong father, as did Xu Kong who saw Xu Lian want to call him father.

"I want to say something" Xu Lian sighed, "This might be my first request, so I hope father will allow me" Xu Lian said.

"Say"

"I want to live a new life, a life outside politics or a world of cultivators" Xu Lian looked at Zhang Xiuhuan, "I want to start a life that is far and more peaceful than this kingdom" Xu Lian said.

"But son" said Xu Kong hesitantly.

"Let's just be calm father, he'll be with me" Xu Lian pointed to Zhang Xiuhuan, "And that doesn't mean I'll be gone forever, I'll still be visiting this Kingdom" he said.

Xu Kong let out a heavy sigh, indeed if Xu Lian had always stayed in his kingdom his life would have been threatened because of the existence of his Heavenly Dragon. But he was very heavy-hearted, had his daughter returned to him he already wanted to go away from her, maybe he would consider this as his punishment for his past deeds.

"Alright you can decide whatever you want" Xu Kong said with a heavy heart.

"But" Xu Kong hung up his words.

"But what?" xu Lian asked curiously.

"I won't let this stranger come with you!"

"Foreign man? my father had known him for a long time" Xu Lian denied.

"I'd consider him a foreign man if he didn't marry you"

Both Xu Lian and Zhang Xiuhuan were shocked by Xu Kong's words. The word marriage has never existed in her.

"Alright, I will marry her as soon as possible" Zhang Xiuhuan said firmly.

Xu Lian could only look down, both of his cheeks were already flushed. He only realized that he had already fallen in love with Zhang Xiuhuan, but since when?

Xu Kong laughed out loud, now he could trust his daughter's safety if it was in Zhang Xiuhuan's hands. He did not care about Zhang Xiuhua's background which mattered his sincere heart that had always wanted to protect Xu Lian.

"Alright tomorrow I will prepare for the wedding" Xu Kong said.

"What! tomorrow?" Xu Lian was very surprised, if tomorrow was the preparation for her wedding. It's very fast, isn't it? none of her two sisters were married.

"Hey sister don't think about us, we are the successors of this kingdom so for the word marriage is still a long way for us" Xu Li said with a laugh.

"But this is too fast" Xu Lian glanced at Zhang Xiuhuan for help, but the one who was stared at wore an ignorant expression. Xu Lian grumbled in annoyance.

After Xu Kong and his two brothers left Xu Lian's room, Xu Lian directly hit Zhang Xiuhuan's head without any resistance.

"Why did you hit me, this is

domestic violence knows" said Zhang Xiuhuan.

"House of your eyes" Xu Lian again struck Zhang Xiuhuan, and Zhang Xiuhuan received a punch from Xu Lian resignedly.

A happy life is not always a harmonious life.
