Chapter 226 The Beauty of Destruction
"Hey, young master, why are you standing there? This is the Miss Di I told you about before. I have made an appointment for you. Don't be like a wooden man."
Just when Cao Xiaochun was in a daze, a woman dressed as a matchmaker suddenly appeared beside him. Seeing Cao Xiaochun's dull expression, she thought that he was infatuated with Di Hanxi's stunning face, and hurriedly reminded him.
At this time, Cao Xiaochun realized that the game Di Hanxi asked him to play was actually a blind date?
After a helpless smile, Cao Xiaochun planned to cooperate first. In this environment, he was a young talent who had just passed the imperial examination in the town, and Di Hanxi was a farm girl who sold tofu in the town.
The two chatted briefly for a few words. Di Hanxi seemed extremely shy and had no sense of oppression as a female emperor.
After the matchmaker left, they took a boat. Most of the time during the boating, Di Hanxi asked questions, and Cao Xiaochun followed her words step by step. Everything seemed to be logical.
Soon, with the help of the matchmaker, after a date was chosen, Cao Xiaochun, witnessed by everyone in the town, went to propose marriage. After three letters and six ceremonies, the wedding day soon arrived.
The surrounding scenes kept changing. Cao Xiaochun was dressed in red and rode a white horse. After looking at the dowry, sitting in the sedan chair, opening the face, and getting on the sedan chair, a team of talented men and beautiful women got married in the hall under the witness of the master of ceremonies.
"A marriage certificate is presented to the heaven, and the underworld is heard. It should be reported to the nine heavens and witnessed by all the heavens. If you betray the beauty, it is deceiving the heaven. The crime of deceiving the heaven will lead to death. If the beauty betrays you, it is against the will of heaven, and the name will be removed from the three realms, and there will be no reincarnation!"
When he arrived at the bridal chamber, Cao Xiaochun lifted the red veil and saw Di Hanxi's beautiful face. His heart was moved. In an instant, he felt that all this was not a scene constructed by Di Hanxi's spiritual world, but a time for a couple to get married.
After drinking the wedding wine, the scene changed again. Three years had passed in the blink of an eye. The two lived in a simple house. In front of them was a piece of fertile land they had reclaimed. They lived a life of farming and weaving. After work, Di Hanxi painted, while Cao Xiaochun studied and tried to pass the imperial examination.
After two days of hard work, Di Hanxi's belly had bulged. Cao Xiaochun swore that he had not done anything.
The reason for this situation was probably that Di Hanxi believed that after getting married, there would be children.
"Husband, what do you think we should name the child after he is born?"
"You are a cultured person, I will listen to your opinion."
Putting down the cloth he had just woven, Di Hanxi slowly walked to Cao Xiaochun, stroked his belly, and smiled sweetly.
Looking at Di Hanxi's expectant look, Cao Xiaochun sighed heavily, and his face was not as soft as before.
He knew very well that he could act, but the role should not be too much. This child must not appear. If a child really appeared, Di Hanxi would probably sink into this spiritual world.
Never underestimate a mother's love for her child.
After considering for a long time, since he had to be the villain, now was the last chance.
"No matter if it's a boy or a girl, they will be called Jiuzhou after they are born."
"A place that someone once tried his best to protect."
Sure enough, when Di Hanxi heard Cao Xiaochun's words, his pupils trembled and the smile on his face froze instantly.
"Husband... how... how could you marry such a strange name? I think these two words don't have a good meaning."
The two words Jiuzhou seemed to trigger Di Hanxi's memory. She saw her pretty face pale, as if she wanted to save something.
"If the meaning is not good, you can change it. You are fully qualified. The guardian of that continent is a woman named Di Hanxi."
With a heavy sigh, Cao Xiaochun stepped forward, looked into Di Hanxi's eyes, and said seriously.
"No... No, I'm just an ordinary person, not the empress you mentioned!"
Facing Cao Xiaochun's eyes, Di Hanxi was inexplicably flustered and denied it directly.
"You also admit that you are the empress, but I didn't mention this word in my words just now."
Seeing Di Hanxi like a frightened rabbit, Cao Xiaochun smiled bitterly. This illusion that lasted for nearly three years has ended at this moment.
Looking at Cao Xiaochun's expression, Di Hanxi trembled, and a golden light flashed in his eyes. The originally warm and peaceful space now had cracks.
The dragon power burst out from Di Hanxi's body, making Cao Xiaochun a little breathless. The gentle eyes had disappeared long ago, and were replaced by a golden pupil.
"Why... Why don't you continue? It's only one step away. Why do you want to expose it!"
The scattered dragon power gathered in an instant and rushed straight to Cao Xiaochun. Under the pressure of the demigod, even if he had full strength, he was just like a rootless duckweed and couldn't resist it at all!
"Puff!"
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Cao Xiaochun tried his best to keep himself from falling, and spoke with difficulty.
"Uncle Master, I'm sorry, I also want to play with you, but I don't want to die, and I don't want you to die, we still have to get out."
"Have you forgotten that your original purpose of coming here was to suppress the Ancestral Dragon Soul, and now, are you going to hide in this illusion and admit defeat to him?"
"Let him use your body and your identity to harm the people of Jiuzhou. Do you know that if you don't wake up, then the entire Jiuzhou will become the hunting ground of that devil!"
When he uttered the last word, Cao Xiaochun clearly felt that his internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, and his ribs were broken by the powerful pressure. Although he was in a soul state now, the injuries he suffered here would be completely pierced through his body!
Hearing Cao Xiaochun's words, Di Hanxi's body trembled, and a memory flashed through his mind. That was the last sentence his father said when he held his hand before he died.
"Remember, as a king, you must first learn to lose. You will lose your freedom, your future love and even your life. You will be imprisoned on the throne until you die, but as a human being, you have to do many things."
"Xi'er, everything in the future will depend on you. In fact, your father doesn't want you to embark on this path, but for all the lives on Jiuzhou, your father is here to say sorry to you."
...
Thinking of this, Di Hanxi's expression turned cold. After a brief entanglement, he looked at the seriously injured Cao Xiaochun and said coldly.
"Cao Xiaochun, I hate you!"
After saying that, a golden stream of light protected Cao Xiaochun, and the entire space shattered. The endless dragon appeared and stared at him.
But at this moment, Di Hanxi's expression was full of fighting spirit. The momentum he had cultivated over the years burst out completely in an instant. Even when facing the ancestor of the dragon clan, he was not afraid at all!
