Imperial Crown's Tenth Anniversary Celebration on Imperial Crown Island! The Imperial Ring Sent by Senior!
"Could it be a divorce certificate sent by my senior?"
With her heart pounding in her throat, Liuli quickly lifted the hem of her purple skirt with both hands, ran out of the temple, and headed straight for the duty room.
"Hey, cousin."
A familiar male voice came from behind. Liuli stopped and turned around. A young man in a red sword robe was waving. It was none other than her cousin, [ Yugong Youjing ].
Beside him stood a tall woman in white, her hands gently caressing her lower abdomen, her eyes tender, a hint of maternal love radiating from her usually cool face—it was [ Xue Ji ].
Liuli tried hard to suppress her inner panic and nervousness, and greeted him with a sweet smile, "Oh, it's my cousin."
Xue Ji bowed respectfully. "Master."
"I've told you so many times, you can't bend over now." Yugong Youjing quickly stopped Xue Ji, her eyes full of tenderness, then looked up and said, "I'm sorry, cousin, my wife is pregnant, so please excuse her from the formalities."
"It's alright, it's alright. Since you're pregnant... pregnant?" Liuli asked in surprise, " Xue Ji is pregnant?"
"I haven't had a chance to tell you yet." Yugong Youjing and Xue Ji exchanged a glance, their eyes meeting sweetly, and she said with a loving smile, "While you were undergoing the sect leader's fasting and baptism, Xue Ji and I got our marriage certificate."
"You're married?"
Liuli's face lit up with surprise and delight. "Congratulations, cousin! True love has finally come true. Back then, outside the consulate in Kyoto, Xue Ji shielded you from a sword, and you prayed for Yousu Fox God to save Xue Ji. I knew then that you two would definitely end up together."
Yugong Youjing froze, scratching the back of his head, and asked in confusion, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by ' Xue Ji blocked the sword to save me'? I prayed for Yousu Fox God to save Xue Ji?"
"Pah, pah, pah." Liuli lightly patted her mouth, revealing an awkward yet polite smile. "On your joyous occasion, I shouldn't have brought up such heavy memories, cousin. Please don't take it to heart."
"It's alright." Yugong Youjing stroked her chin, scrutinizing her cousin. She felt that there was something strange about her speaking since she was now the club leader's cousin.
"Cousin, are you going on a trip?" Liuli asked curiously, looking at the suitcase.
"It's not tourism, it's settling down." Yugong Youjing glanced at Xue Ji, then smiled and said, "I've decided to settle down in the Netherlands with Xue Ji."
Liuli asked in surprise, "Settle down in the Netherlands?"
Xue Ji took Yugong Youjing's hand and said tenderly, "Master, His Highness Youjing has bought a flower field in the Netherlands. He plans to leave the hustle and bustle of the world with me and live a secluded life in a paradise just for the two of us."
"How romantic!" Liuli's beautiful eyes revealed envy and longing. She never expected that her cousin, who was involved in the underworld, would have such a romantic side. Spending time alone with his beloved was simply too blissful.
"I came here to say goodbye." Yugong Youjing slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering something, "Oh right, Nishang asked me to tell you that he went to [ Imperial Crown Island ] to attend the Imperial Crown Team's 10th anniversary celebration."
" Imperial Crown Island?" Liuli tilted her head in confusion.
"It's a resort island in the South Pacific Ocean," Yugong Youjing said with a smile. "The island is called [Imperial-Mian], which translates to ' Imperial Crown ' in Chinese. You'll probably be attending, right?"
"Cousin, I'm not a member of the Imperial Crown Team."
"But you're a member of the Sovereign Dominion Team, and also its Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion," Yugong Youjing said with a smile. " The Captain of Sovereign Dominion Captain of the Imperial Crown are the same person. As the vice-captain, you'll definitely participate."
"Will you let me attend the Imperial Crown 10th Anniversary Party, senior? Speaking of you, senior..." Liuli suddenly remembered the express delivery and hurriedly said, "Cousin, well, I wish you happiness. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Watching Liuli's departing figure.
"My cousin's talking is so strange," Yugong Youjing muttered to herself. "Who is this 'senior' she's talking about? It can't be the captains of Imperial Crown and Sovereign Dominion, can it?"
Yugong Shrine duty room.
Liuli quickly found the package from Huaxia Express, muttering to herself, "Please, please don't let it be a divorce agreement; please, please don't let it be a divorce agreement; please, please don't let it be a divorce agreement. I'm saying it three times because it's important."
Liuli Duck sat on the tatami mat, her long purple hair tied up. She took a deep breath, her small face full of heroic spirit. She picked up a knife and cut open the package, revealing a delicate little ring box.
"If it's not a divorce decree, could it be...?"
Liuli's heart raced. She carefully picked up the ring box, gently lifted it, and a magnificent jeweled ring was revealed to the air. The ring band was made of pure gold, and the face of the ring was set with twelve gemstones of various colors.
Under the illumination of the roof lights, each gemstone contains an animal-shaped zodiac animal, like a miniature sculpture, breathtakingly beautiful!
" The Imperial Ring!"
Liuli covered her mouth with one hand, her crimson eyes revealing shock. Why did her senior give her the Imperial Ring? The answer was obvious: a confession begins with a bouquet of flowers, and marriage begins with a ring!
"This is a kind of romance that belongs only to our predecessors."
Liuli put the Imperial Ring on her ring finger, raised her arm, and spread her five fingers. The Imperial Ring reflected a dazzling light under the lamplight, a sight to behold.
" Liuli, Liuli, your senior gave you the Imperial Ring because he loves you. So even if it costs you your remaining life, even if it costs you your life, you must love your senior for a lifetime, for all eternity, forever unchanging."
Tears of happiness welled up in Liuli's eyes. She didn't want to wait a moment longer; she wanted to go to Huaxia, to Jiangcheng, and to be by her senior's side.
Just then, my phone vibrated with a QQ message notification.
It was a message from Jiang Sui (family member - Xiao Sui ).
Jiang Sui: Sister Liuli, are you busy? My brother is going to the Imperial Crown's 10th Anniversary offline gathering tomorrow. He asked me to tell you that if you are free, you can come to my house first, and then we can go together.
Liuli: Xiao Sui, I'll participate! I'll participate!
Jiang Sui: Okay, my phone number is 171XXXXX. Just call me when you arrive.
Liuli: Okay, okay, no problem.
Jiang Sui: Mm.
"Attending the Imperial Crown offline gathering with my senior." Liuli blushed, overwhelmed by immense happiness, and couldn't help but fantasize, "How will my senior introduce me to everyone? Will he say I'm his wife?"
"Ah, how embarrassing, so embarrassing."
With Liuli rising from her head and her hands cupping her burning face, it took her a long time to calm her feelings of shame and excitement. She quickly booked a plane ticket so she could fly directly from Kyoto to Jiangcheng that very night.
"Will I come back after this trip to Huaxia?"
Now that she has become the head of Yugong Shrine, she has achieved complete freedom in her life. As her senior's legal wife, she naturally has to live with him and be by his side at all times.
"But the senior is studying at Peking University."
The mention of school reminded Liuli of her childhood friend Huyan Lan and her own past infidelity, instantly making her feel terrible. "If only I could go to Peking University," she thought.
"Don't think that far ahead now." Liuli patted her cheeks, trying to cheer herself up. "The most important thing right now is to choose clothes and prepare a gift. I need to be in top form when I meet my senior tonight!"
