The legendary finale (part two)

His question struck a nerve with Xuesang. The dragon roared, its eyes bloodshot as it stared at Mel, and through gritted teeth spat out its reply, "You humans can manipulate power, but we dragons can't?"

Mel tilted his head (I thought his gesture was incredibly cute) and said, "But human political struggles still have a story to tell, but if you dragons want to play dirty tricks... uh, don't you think you've already turned it into a farce?"

Hmm... Indeed, my undead legion and Magitech Corps are frantically hunting down the cyborgs. The Machine Zealots have come to the Federation's home ground to cause trouble. Even if there are inside agents, they're just here to die. I took out my phone, and even... even saw a "serious accident" happening among the crowd—in order to grab a piece of mothership fragment that I had touched, fans rushed forward, and as a result, a group of people hugged each other and dropped the fragment.

Uh, I've touched way too many things!

Sigh, poor Xuesang. She just got out of prison and meticulously planned for so long, and in the blink of an eye... Hmm, so is it because of a lack of racial talent? I think Reynold and his group are very complicated when it comes to politics. If Reynold were to defect to the enemy one day, he would definitely create a much more troublesome situation than Xuesang.

"If you obediently go back to prison, I might spare your life; after all, dragons are few in number..."

"Roar------"

Before Mel could finish speaking, Xuesang had already launched an attack. I sensed a flash of anger in Mel's heart. At that moment, I saw another white dragon fly over. He... well, not that I'm biased, but although they are twin brothers, Xuefeng really flies more beautifully than Xuesang. Goliath wasn't on Xuefeng's back; I guess he was too tired to ride a dragon anymore. So Xuefeng went into battle alone. He roared and pounced, his claws grabbing his brother. Then the two dragons rolled a few times in the air. Xuefeng successfully knocked Xuesang's head to the side, thwarting his intention to attack the ground and kill humans.

Then, Xuefeng roared triumphantly, creating an opening for the mage tower beneath Mel's feet—

It's launched!!!

Our mage tower is practically a giant siege engine now!

No, it's a large, high-speed missile, isn't it?

Xuesang had just broken free from the Xuefeng's interference when, caught off guard, she was struck in the chest by such a massive tower with a deafening thud. I felt a surge of Magic Power emanating from our tower, but I immediately smiled and, together with Mel, mobilized our mental energy to stabilize the magic tower's defensive system. I even saw Professor Nova peek out of the window, glance around, and then retreat back inside—or was it his head? Professor Nova was still in the form of a white sheet, and he liked to roll around unpredictably, so I could never tell which side was his head.

A large hole was punched in Xuesang's chest, and I saw the flow of Magic Power around him become abnormally chaotic—the magic tower may have damaged the crystal in the dragon's chest pouch that stabilized Magic Power.

Then, the white dragon, its path strewn with blood, slowly descended, its claws twitching.

The crowd stared blankly upwards, then blankly made way for him.

Mel used his Mage Hand to throw the dragon onto the plaza, where it landed right in front of me. He then slowly floated down from the magic tower.

Hmm... Mel, I didn't see you change into a different dress just now?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Mel walked steadily towards me, and then...

Then he knelt down, he knelt down!!!

Oh my god!

I stared in astonishment as Mel knelt before me on one knee, then extended his hand and said, "My most admired and beloved Archmage Ciprins Field, today, I solemnly make my sincerest request to you: please accept me on the road ahead, share life and scholarship with me, explore the unknown and the future together, educate apprentices and respect teachers together, and even death will not stop me from following in your footsteps."

... I... Mel, you...

"Are you willing, Xipei?" He looked up at me, and I saw my own blank stare reflected in his beautiful blue eyes, as well as the boundless longing in Mel's eyes.

I stood there, frozen in place, becoming like a statue, just like all the other onlookers.

I...

I did consider marrying Mel, but...

But I never imagined that one day, Mel would descend from the sky in a mage tower, carrying a pile of mech fragments and enemy corpses, surrounded by cold, despairing Hellfire, to propose to me in front of the whole world, and even give me such a precious proposal gift as a whole dragon!

Ahhh--

I'm going to faint!

Oh no, oh no, my heart is pounding! Ciprins, don't faint, you haven't said yes yet! Quickly give me your hand before you faint!

Chapter 118 The Legendary Finale (Part 2)

Fortunately, Mel and I still maintain our Mental Link, so of course Mel could sense my huge emotional fluctuations—but speaking of which, Mel, how could you keep it all from me? Did you receive some kind of spy training?

Hmm... Think about it, more than ten years ago, Mel was infiltrating a mercenary group and even disguised herself as a girl to infiltrate the orcs and rescue Anna. That's even more advanced than the sorceress Kelisiting's espionage skills.

Mel grabbed my hand and pounced on me, hugging me tightly—wait, I thought I was going to faint, but my mouth had already automatically answered "I do"?

Swish swish swish~~~ Swish swish swish~~~~

We were surrounded by thunderous applause. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a large group of reporters snapping photos with flashbulbs, and many others jumping around and broadcasting live to the cameras. The politicians who had just escaped danger also reacted quickly, hurriedly starting to loudly offer their congratulations.

Ahhh! Don't get so excited, you guys are even more excited than me! -- Hey, you over there on that big screen on the building, what's wrong with you? Why are you showing pictures of me and Mel, with a heart in the middle? Did Moli and Anna bribe you?

I looked up without realizing it and found that I had wronged two girls. At that moment, these two girls... Moli was riding a children's dragon, and this group of colorful children's dragons were arranged in a heart shape in the air, with Anna constantly adjusting their formation.

Mel buried his face in my shoulder, holding me very tightly. I could feel him trembling slightly, and he whispered my name excitedly in my ear.

"Okay, okay..." I patted his shoulder, feeling like I had recovered, while he was about to faint.

"Shut up, you banshees! Who gave you permission to sing the wedding march?" I glared at them, and they sang along while making heart shapes with their hands at me. Ugh... I can't even get angry!

"Xipei, let's go to the civil affairs department to register our marriage in a little while!" Mel still wouldn't let go, and was very persistent about it.

Uh... sigh...

"Okay, okay, I'll go in a bit!" That was all I could say.

To be honest, I don't know why Mel is so obsessed with registering the marriage. He's been thinking about it for a long time. I've never felt anything about these things in the past. I was with Reynold for so many years and I wasn't in a hurry to register the marriage. I've always felt that feelings are feelings and don't need a third-party institution to verify them. So I find Mel's obsession a bit strange.

Sensing my confusion, Mel blushed and looked at me, replying, "Because registering our marriage means we've entered into a legally binding marriage, so you won't be taken away... Also, as you told me before, the law is very useful. Registering our marriage means we're protected by law, and anyone who tries to break up our marriage is breaking the law!"

I was taken aback—how could Mel have such a strange idea?

He leaned on my shoulder, looking aggrieved, and said, "Xipei, what if the Shadow Moon Temple comes and tries to take him away from me someday..."

Oh... I suddenly realized, and couldn't help but laugh. However, I decided to keep what the teacher had told me a secret and continue to scare Mel —after all, he's always causing trouble behind my back!

Before we could finish speaking, a whole host of other things happened. First, the precarious Federal Congress Capitol finally collapsed. Among the last group of politicians who escaped, Ms. Crow was carrying Reynold in her arms. Reynold... Reynold's face was as red as if it were about to explode, and he was kicking and thrashing about in Ms. Crow's arms, being particularly restless—well, Ms. Crow has healed Reynold's back, and his legs are kicking quite powerfully now.
