Ancient Godly Monarch

The beautiful flash of multi-colored light stirred the souls of people, cascading downwards. A crisp-sounding cry from the phoenix could be heard. This was a true divine phoenix, bathing in phoenix flames. Its wings spread open gracefully, floating in the air. On the back of the phoenix, a magnificent, elegant, holy, beautiful figure, could be seen standing there. There seemed to be no descriptive words apt enough to describe her. This person was none other than the Southern Phoenix Matriarch.

“Southern Phoenix Matriarch actually brought this divine phoenix over.” The hearts of many experts trembled as they stared at the phoenix.

“He has arrived.”

Everyone could see the young man standing beside the Southern Phoenix Matriarch. He was incredibly handsome. His long robes fluttered in the wind, and he who was now basking in the multi-colored light, seemed to exude even more magnificence.

This was especially so when he stood beside the Southern Phoenix Matriarch, causing him to be even more dazzling. Many of the unaffiliated spectators in the crowd sighed silently when they thought of the fate this supreme genius would soon face. The immortal realms actually gave birth to such an outstanding person…

Qing`er’s tears were like a broken kite, there was no longer a way to hold them back. Her sparkling crystal-like tears flowed down her face unceasingly, dripping onto her robes.

He came, although he knew he would definitely die, he still came.

In reality, she already knew that he would come. But when she finally saw him, she still had no way to control the tearing pain in her heart. It was because he came, this was precisely why it felt so painful. If he didn’t appear, she might not have felt so much pain.

“Why are you here? Who told you to come…?” Qing`er’s voice was gentle, yet traces of sorrow could be heard within. She stared up at the beautiful phoenix in the air, the hurt in her heart was so bad that she could barely breathe.

Why did he still chose to come here and die?

Could it be that he doesn’t understand with his level of talent, how high his accomplishments would be in the future? Does he not know that these people would definitely kill him as long as he appeared here? They wouldn’t give him a chance to escape.

“Because, I’m here to ask for your hand in marriage.” Qin Wentian gently smiled, his words causing Qing`er’s body to tremble violently. Her heart also trembled when she saw two rows of maidens from the Southern Phoenix Clan with valuable gifts in their hands as they started to walk towards Qing`er.

Because, I’m here to ask for your hand in marriage!

“What does this fellow want to do?” The eyes of the experts flashed. Could it be he doesn’t know he would die for sure? He actually wants to marry Evergreen Qing`er now?

Even the people on Qin Wentian’s side were stunned. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor stared at the approaching phoenix maidens as well as the Southern Phoenix Matriarch standing beside Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian didn’t appear to be joking.

Very swiftly, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor seem to have understood something. Sharpness gleamed in his eyes, but it turned gentle when he stared at Qin Wentian.

Seems like he had already planned everything out before he decided to come here.

He didn’t come here by using the teleportation array in the Southern Phoenix Clan, but chose to appear in such a dazzling and resplendent manner. The maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan even brought so many valuable gifts over, there was no need to doubt what Qin Wentian meant by this. These were all betrothal gifts. Qin Wentian had clearly planned things out.

“He is truly someone that doesn’t have any idea about the immensity of heaven and earth. He is already going to die yet he still has the mood to get married?” The Violet Emperor icily spoke. When Zi Daolong died, his immortal sense saw the face of the Saber-Sword Immortal King. But the him back then, didn’t think of the possibility that the Saber-Sword Immortal King was none other than Qin Wentian.

“Asking for her hand? I’m afraid you don’t have the opportunity.” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor also coldly spoke, his killing intent gushing forth.

However, Qin Wentian acted like he didn’t see anything. He continued walking towards Qing`er with a smile on his face. It felt like he didn’t come here today to die, but truly came here to ask for her hand in marriage.

A violent aura radiated from the Senluo Immortal Emperor as his killing intent bubbled forth, gushing towards Qin Wentian. But at this moment, a phoenix cry rang out as the divine phoenix appeared in the center of everyone. The Southern Phoenix Matriarch calmly spoke, “Today, no matter what grudges you all might have with him. Talk about it only after the marriage.”

“The Southern Phoenix Clan wishes to protect Qin Wentian?” An expert from the Ying Clan coldly laughed.

The Southern Phoenix Matriarch glanced at the person who spoke, her eyes flashing with disdain. “I, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch have promised to ensure that his wedding proposal will be a smooth one. If anyone tries to disturb or disrupt this, I will take that person as an enemy and attack him.”

As the sound of her voice faded, a mighty aura gushed forth from her. The divine phoenix beneath her also radiated a sense of imposingness, transferring its power to the Southern Phoenix Matriarch. In the air, countless balls of divine flames appeared, as bright as starlight, causing the sky to change color. At this moment, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch was actually more beautiful than ever.

The eyes of everyone flashed. Right now, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch seemed to have merged with the divine phoenix, becoming one entity. Her combat prowess would undoubtedly be extremely terrifying. If they forcefully acted against her, they would definitely have to pay a heavy price.

Also, she didn’t say that she would protect Qin Wentian. She was only here to ensure the marriage proposal went smoothly.

“What bravado. Southern Phoenix Matriarch, could it be you really want to take the whole of the immortal realms as your enemy?” The Skymist Immortal Emperor spoke. He sat on a divine elephant and exuded extreme tyranny. There were a few other immortal emperors beside him, they were all that was left of the Skymist Immortal Empire. Right now, their hatred against the Evergreen Immortal Empire was the greatest.

“You still don’t have the qualifications to talk to me. If you want to fight, you and the few other emperors beside you, are still insufficient to face me.” The Southern Phoenix Matriarch impolitely humiliated the Skymist Immortal Emperor, causing his face to turn extremely ugly. However, he was helpless to rebut against it.

“Fine, since it won’t take long, I will just wait. Let’s hope the Southern Phoenix Clan won’t make a wrong choice.” The Senluo Immortal Empire coldly spoke.

Right now, Qin Wentian has already arrived before Qing`er. When he saw tears streaking down her face, he smiled gently and helped her wipe the tears away. “Qing`er, why are you crying so much when you see me? Do you loathe me that much?”

Qing`er felt even more pain in her heart when she heard Qin Wentina’s words. There was no way for her to stop her tears from flowing. She had never acted in this manner before Qin Wentian before, crying so much.

“Since I made you cry so badly, are you still willing to be married to me?” Qin Wentian gently asked. Qing`er stared at his face intently, as though wanting to commit every detail of his features into her memories, burying it within her mind forever.

“I’m willing.” Suddenly, a radiant smile flashed on her face. Although there were tears in her eyes, her smile was still so beautiful, so radiant, moving to the extreme.

Even for the enemies who gathered here, all of them couldn’t help but praise the emotions between the two people. A celestial couple.

For Qin Wentian, Evergreen Qing`er came back alone to face death. After Qin Wentian learned of the news, he clearly knew it was a death situation yet he still came here with no worries, ignoring the consequences. Not only so, he even wanted to propose a marriage and ask for her hand.

Qin Wentian gently embraced Qing`er, Qing`er allowed him to do so as her tears rolled down, dripping on his robes.

Mo Qingcheng could see everything from below. She was also crying, but she quietly stood where she was, not intending to disturb Qin Wentian and Qing`er. She was willing to give them this bit of alone time, despite the fact that she too, wanted badly to rush over and hug Qin Wentian.

This gentle embrace lasted for a long time, a very long time. Qin Wentian finally broke from the hug. He turned his gaze to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and smiled, “Your Majesty, I didn’t really prepare too much, please forgive me for the simple betrothal gifts. You have once agreed to betroth Qing`er to me. Now that I come here and asked for her hand in marriage, you wouldn’t have any objections, right?”

“Since I’ve already agreed to this back then, I naturally wouldn’t have any objections now.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor nodded.

“In that case, I will leave Qing`er to you in the future. Help me take good care of her.” Qin Wentian stared at the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, like he was making funeral arrangements.

“I will.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor didn’t say anything else since he was Qing`er’s father and it was only natural. He merely solemnly nodded in agreement, accepting Qin Wentian’s words.

How could he not understand that Qin Wentian came here today because he was worried Qing`er would die in his stead or choose to die together with him?

Qin Wentian, truly has the heart.

How could Qing`er not understand this too? She lightly shook her head and wanted to say something, yet she only saw Qin Wentian gently placing both his hands at the side of her face. He spoke in a very light voice, “Qing`er, I’ve already asked for your hand in marriage. You have to stay alive and wait for our actual wedding. Before our wedding, nothing can happen to you.”

Many people had puzzled looks on their faces. Before this, Qin Wentian seemed like he was making funeral arrangements. But now, he actually told Evergreen Qing`er to wait for their actual wedding? Wasn’t this complete nonsense?

However, Qing`er simply looked at Qin Wentian. But she continued to shake her head.

“Qing`er, you know this. I won’t die, you have to wait for me.” Qin Wentian stared into her eyes, transmitting his voice to her. Qing`er seemed to have understood the meaning behind his words. A look of pain appeared in her eyes, was Qin Wentian really planning to face this calamity alone?

Staring at the gentleness in his gaze, she trembled in pain and closed her eyes. But she eventually nodded her head.

Only after Qin Wentian saw Qing`er nodding, did he finally heave a sigh of relief. He continued, “Qing`er, you have to wait for me to return. Help me take care of her in the meantime, you have to take good care of her.”

Qing`er naturally understood who Qin Wentian was referring to. Seems like he didn’t intend to say his final farewell to Mo Qingcheng. It felt a little cruel to do this.

“I will.” Qing`er nodded seriously. She naturally understood what the words ‘take care’ meant. She absolutely must not let anything happen to Mo Qingcheng.

Qin Wentian didn’t even speak to Mo Qingcheng. It wasn’t that he didn’t love her. It was that he loves her too much.

Even if he really died and the experts here dispersed, who could guarantee that none of his enemies would act against the people closest to him? In such a scenario, he would rather no one saw his relationship with Mo Qingcheng. He ignored her for the sake of protecting her.

He softly transmitted his voice over, “Qingcheng, take care. Wait for me. I will definitely come back.”

After that, he resolutely turned and walked towards the area surrounded by these powerful enemies. His back was facing Qing`er, his back was facing Mo Qingcheng. Qing`er stopped crying, her beautiful eyes were filled with an unbreakable resolve. But for Mo Qingcheng, her legs gave way as she started sobbing.

Did he really have to face all of this alone?!
