The Millennium History of the Huang Empire; the Twins Appear, So There Won't Be Any Angst!
Even with a thousand regrets, the time for parting has come.
"It's... time to say goodbye..."
The Captain opened his mouth, his dry lips cracked, as if reluctant to say those words.
"Goodbye, Guan..."
"Mr. Assassin!" Guān Xīng said, trembling, "We... we will surely meet again, won't we?"
The Captain was silent for a moment.
"Yes, if it's you... we'll meet again someday in the future, won't we?"
"After all... the key to that future is now in your hands." The Captain forced a smile.
After saying his last words, Xiao Te fell into a deep sleep, and the Captain handed Xiao Te over to Guān Xīng.
"Then, let's meet again in the distant future."
"Goodbye, Guān Xīng." [Consciousness mapping, deactivated.]
The entire room fell silent.
The comments section seemed to freeze.
357
Chapter 357 The Thousand-Year History of the Huang Kingdom: The Appearance of the Twins Means There Are No Knives!
An unusual silence fell over the entire room.
As the audience watched the Captain and the Guān Xīng separate, they couldn't hold back their tears. The barrage of comments that had just stopped surged back like a tidal wave, consisting mainly of those who were moved to tears and those who were cursing the scriptwriters.
Elysia belongs to the former type of person.
While wiping away tears with tissues, she also criticized the screenwriter for being inhuman.
Vill-V took Eden's place.
He took out several sheets of tissues and handed them over.
Elysia took it and wiped her nose.
"It's already a good ending, Elysia."
"Vill-V said softly, trying to comfort me."
Elysia looked up, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Look, at least the Captain and Guān Xīng survived, and it's only a matter of time before they meet again."
Vill-V wore black-rimmed glasses, a fitted blazer, and a knee-length skirt, her long legs encased in black stockings.
In Elysia's eyes, he was like an intelligent older sister, making her unable to resist throwing herself into Vill-V's arms, her pretty face rubbing against his huge, wicked manhood, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"Vill-V ~, waaaaaah..."
The viewers in the live stream were incredibly envious.
["Slurp, slurp, Sister Vill-V, I'm crying too, can you comfort me?"]
"Your abacus beads are practically jumping in my face! Who sheds tears like that?"
Vill-V comforted her softly, as if soothing a child.
"Elysia, think about it carefully. Guān Xīng is not like Himeko, who fell into the Imaginary Space and whose life or death is unknown. She and the Captain will have more plot later and will reappear."
Vill-V's voice was very gentle.
There is only one personality: the id.
Cute Elysia felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart; even her crying stopped instantly, and she stared blankly at Vill-V's pretty face.
"Isn't that right? It's not Captain and Guān Xīng, nor Otto and Kallen, Kevin and May, Kiana and... umm."
"Alright, Vill-V, you don't need to comfort me anymore, I'm not upset anymore."
Elysia covered Vill-V's mouth with both hands.
A smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on his face.
Vill-V blinked.
"Teacher Vill-V's way of comforting people is really unique. I wonder if Miss Fairy is still feeling bad. I'm feeling pretty bad, especially when I want to... Waaaaaah!"
"Neither of those two couples had a good ending. Luckily, Miss Fairy stopped them in time, otherwise I was really afraid Kiana would suffer the same fate as those two couples before her."
Half of the viewers in the live stream were crying, while the other half breathed a sigh of relief.
The computer started playing automatically, and I clicked to watch the next episode.
Viewers who thought the series had reached its finale were only now realizing that it wasn't over yet.
The third day after the Captain left was the coronation ceremony of Guān Xīng.
The screen went black.
Rita's voice rang out.
"In the seventy-third year of the old calendar, the late emperor died in a rebellion of strange beasts. The Crown Grandson ascended the throne after Guān Xīng, changed the country's name to [Huang], and granted a general amnesty."
"The Second Prince Kiana outwitted the treacherous minister and rendered meritorious service in protecting the country. He was granted the title of Marquis of Destiny Marquis Mandate by Guān Xīng and was given seven cities in the northern border."
Viewers are complaining, they just have to vent.
Given Kiana's intelligence in her Brainless Idiot form, it's hard to believe that the word "outsmart" could be applied to her.
"The Destiny Marquis?"
Kallen, munching on potato chips, joked, "Otto, look at your Schicksal —it's become Kiana's."
Otto smiled.
"General Youlan was a pillar of the nation. Guān Xīng wanted to seal off dozens of cities and offered tens of thousands of gold coins, but he refused. Instead, he volunteered to guard the western city and never entered the imperial city for the rest of his life."
For audiences in Shenzhou, the first idiom that comes to mind when they think of this kind of ancient story is "merit that overshadows the ruler".
"In the seventh year of the Imperial Calendar, the government was efficient and the people were harmonious, and all things were being rebuilt. Prime Minister Rita submitted a memorial requesting that the title of 'Sage King' be bestowed upon the Guān Xīng."
"In the sixty-eighth year of the Imperial Calendar, the Northern Barbarians launched an invasion. The Sage King personally led the expedition, but contracted a cold during the northern expedition and did not recover for a long time."
"In the sixty-ninth year of the Imperial Calendar, the King established his rule at Xieguchuan, captured the seven kings of the Northern Barbarians, and unified the world."
"Hmm, this looks familiar."
Little Knowledge gasped.
"Isn't this Zhuge Liang's script? Seven captures of Meng Huo, so there are seven Meng Huos, and he captures each one once."
["In the seventy-second year of the Imperial Calendar, the King revisited the underwater altar alone, but disappeared without a trace. Prime Minister Rita temporarily took over the administration."]
Vill-V instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
In her opinion, this part was superfluous, but if Yaqing hadn't deleted it, it would have meant that it was a part with a significant plot point.
Could it be...?
Hiss.
Vill-V seemed to have guessed something.
If it were really as she thought, then she would never have said it aloud, because that would be a major selling point of the plot.
"In the 937th year of the Imperial Calendar, the 31st generation of the Destiny Marquis led the northern counties in a rebellion, established the state of [Hikjar], and confronted the Empire on the White Jade Snowfield."
"In the year 991 of the Imperial Calendar, the Empire launched a northern expedition against Hikzhar, but it was not in accordance with the opportune time and was defeated at Yangping Ancient Road. After this battle, no one in the Empire ever spoke of a northern expedition again."
"In the same year, the Blue Sea pirates, during the Empire's northern expedition, launched a surprise attack on thirteen cities and ports in the South China Sea, seizing countless treasures."
Upon seeing Kiana's numerous... great-grandson's rebellion, the audience's first reaction was shock. Not shock at the rebellion itself, since the bloodline had passed through so many generations, but shock that Kiana actually had descendants.
Who was the father of that child?
Could it be that Mei in this World Bubble, is a man?
"That's right! She's my daughter. I had a daughter with Kiana, and we named her Luna!"
"Damn, whoever pees yellow urine wakes him up!"
"No, I have diabetes, I'm afraid he'll get even the slightest taste of sweetness."
"His profile picture makes him look like a redhead. Unless you're an alternate version of Himeko, why would Kiana be interested in you?"
"What the hell?! What did Red Hair do to you?!"
The comments section erupted into another argument.
But Elysia didn't notice at all.
"In the seventh year of the Imperial Calendar, the Blue Sea bandits formed the [Jormungandr Federation], and from then on, the world was divided into three."
"In the year 998 of the Imperial Calendar, Prime Minister Rita sought an underwater altar to find a way to protect the country, but to no avail."
"At the end of the first thousand years of the Imperial Calendar, the underwater altar reappeared in the world, and the chaos of the Three Kingdoms began from there."
Rita's voice slowly faded away.
The screen lights up.
Guān Xīng gently waved his feather fan, just as he had a thousand years ago, without the slightest change.
"The affairs of the world, after a long period of division, tend to unite; after a long period of unity, tend to divide."
"Guān Xīng?"
Vill-V was stunned.
The audience was also confused. They had thought that Guān Xīng had disappeared in the 72nd year and the throne had changed hands as usual. But now that Guān Xīng had reappeared, they couldn't help but wonder if Huang Kingdom had only had one emperor in the past thousand years.
According to Vill-V's own speculation, the seventy-second year should be a turning point. During that period, Guān Xīng should have met the Captain and left with Captain.
However, the reappearance of the Guān Xīng in the first millennium overturned her conjecture.
Little Knowledge's expression grew increasingly strange.
She felt that the plot was becoming more and more similar to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that she was forced to read during her nine years of compulsory education.
"This is not the destiny of the world, but the thousand-year foundation of our glorious nation cannot be severed today."
"It is a pity that although I have extraordinary talent, I am still in this chaotic world due to the efforts of a false and heroic hand. It is truly a regrettable thing."
Although Guān Xīng said it was a pity, there was an undisguised joy in his tone.
"Very well, it's time for farewell, my friend."
The audience got excited.
Especially Elysia.
They never expected that Yaqing would let them go so easily, allowing them to meet again at the end of the movie. This time, they would be together forever, right?
Mobius glanced at Yaqing; she felt things weren't that simple.
Just as Mobius had thought.
The light followed the marks on the ground, lighting up the candles one by one, forming the shape of the seven stars in the sky. In the center of those seven stars, Xiao Te was still asleep, his head bowed.
"The time has come, the array is complete; the Seven Star Lamp is lit, the doors open and the gates shine; with this as the bond, I call your name; with me as the bond, you shall respond; with..."
Before he could finish reciting the Guān Xīng incantation, a magic circle appeared on the ground where Xiao Te was sitting.
"Strange... the incantation hasn't been finished yet, how could this be?"
With a burst of explosion, a flash of white light, and billowing smoke, two figures with tails appeared. Their forms were indistinct, but the audience could guess their identities just by their shapes.
Although the two were summoned by the Guān Xīng.
The audience was stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, with the twin sisters here, well, the Huang Empire is finished. They summoned these two brats!"
"These two tails are easy to spot."
"Is this... the Erguotou girl?"
"I have a feeling the script for the next installment is suddenly going to get really funny, it's hilarious! The tone changes abruptly, there's a twins storyline, how much more scathing can it get?"
