Chapter 0110 Marriage
Chapter 0110: Marriage
The night is as cool as water.
It was already midnight, in the sky, the stars were shining, and the endless night was pressing straight to the earth, and in front of the Phantom Sea Realm, the pillar of light that rushed to the sky reflected the valley in detail, and the night was bright.
All the people didn't leave, they waited here, waiting for Zhou Dong to appear.
Xia Junru didn't wear leather armor at this time, but a goose-yellow coat wrapped tightly around her body, and she looked a little delicate in her faint curves. She sat on the ground, resting her head on Ling Ruo's shoulder, and looked in the direction of the Illusion Tower in the distance.
Ling Ruo already knew Xia Junru's identity, and he also knew everything about the marriage contract given by the emperor.
Ling Ruo suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Junru, and said jokingly: "Junru, this time the results have been decided, I am just waiting for you to become my brother-in-law."
did not appear as shyness as imagined, Xia Junru's delicate face just smiled faintly.
In fact, she was more confused in her heart.
Xia Junru's personality is very similar to Zhou Dongfen: although he is low-key, the self-improvement and self-reliance in his bones are not inferior to anyone. Since she was a child, she has lived in the shadow of a shackle-like oath, but her strong character determines that she will not passively wait for a favorite prince to save her, but wants to break the shackles with her own hands through her own continuous efforts.
For several years, her goal in life has been to break out of the shackles and fly into the endless world of freedom, and she has never thought about marriage in her heart.
And today, by accident, a marriage suddenly came unexpectedly, which made her a little overwhelmed.
Zhou Dong is very good, when she thinks of Zhou Dong, she will feel extra warmth in her heart, Zhou Dong is equivalent to saving her from the nightmare of marrying a barbarian. Being able to marry Zhou Dong instead of others, Xia Junru is already very satisfied with this result, but she still needs time to adapt.
The girls with blood-colored roses all sat on the ground around Ling Ruo and Xia Junru. They didn't expect that the little dd who they were joking about when they first entered the school suddenly shined, and they couldn't open their eyes with that dazzling light.
Moreover, the girls' weak hearts are more full of romantic fantasies, as soon as they think that after a while, they can stage a fairy tale in which the prince defeats the demon through hardships and dangers, and finally lives happily with the princess, their hearts are full of eager expectations, a moving is brewing in their hearts, and they even imagine how Zhou Dong and Xia Junru hugged each other, and they would be moved to tears.
The new students, as well as the new and loyal fans who joined their team, formed a large group. They were untired, their eyes shining at the Tower of Illusion in the distance.
The children of the nobility must be a minority, and the vast majority of the students of the Extreme Martial Academy are from ordinary families. The movement of the commoner born made them feel close from the heart. Zhou Dong has no Master, no resources, only relying on his own continuous efforts, step by step to the peak of strength, so that their hearts are inspired, they all seem to see their own shadow from Zhou Dong, and see the truth that as long as they work hard, they will succeed.
This fan group is still expanding, and even Zhou Dong himself can't imagine how popular he is now.
Ma Qingchuan's despicable means Xia Junru did not say it, although he hated him very much, but the kind-hearted Xia Junru still kept a little face for him. However, Ma Qingchuan himself couldn't get over the threshold in his heart, and he was alone in a corner of his soul and fell into deep remorse.
Contrasting with him is Zhemusi. The hopes of the entire barbarian archipelago were pinned on him, and he failed. The belief in Zhemusi's heart, who had never been defeated, seemed to have collapsed, and the sharp self-confidence in him had disappeared.
However, a new self-re-acquaintance, the idea of perseverance slowly grew in his heart, and he believed that when he stood up again, he would be a new genius.
......
The sky was about to break, but the Tower of Illusion still didn't move.
Everyone is looking forward to it infinitely, and they don't know what wonders Zhou Dong will see inside.
The number of soul beasts in the innate stage is not very large, so Zhou Dong can stay in the sixth layer for a while, and everyone doesn't think it's strange, they are just looking forward to the moment when Zhou Dong appears, and all the results will be revealed.
At this moment, a sudden sound of swift footsteps came from the first line of heavenly wonders.
There was a slight commotion in the quiet valley, and everyone turned around one after another, seeing fourteen figures flying towards them, all of them were teachers and students with honorable status in Tianzi Pavilion. ,
The students who won the first place in the Phantom Sea Realm went out, and all the members of the Tianzi Pavilion who did not retreat had to come to greet them, which was the rule of the past years.
Fourteen figures swept in an instant like the wind.
In the crowd, these fourteen people suddenly saw Dean Geng and the old madman standing in the front row, they glanced at each other, and they could see the horror in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that Zhou Dong won the first place this year, and he would be able to work these two immortals to wait all night.
Everyone came to Dean Geng, and Li Yuan came out of the crowd and asked the two immortals on behalf of everyone.
Dean Geng nodded lightly, his face suspicious, and asked softly, "Why didn't Jin Feng come?"
Li Yuan's face was still pale, he smiled slightly and replied quickly: "Teacher, the Golden Wind breakthrough is imminent, and it is at a critical juncture......
"Oh?" Dean Geng's eyes lit up, and he glanced at the old madman, and his heart was happy.
The old madman was also full of joy at this time, Jin Feng was his disciple, and it was of great significance to be able to see his own personal disciple break through the innate nature.
The innate has already been regarded as a preliminary departure from the mortal body and entered the real realm of cultivation. Entering the innate level, a person's body and soul have undergone great changes, and from then on they can have a lifespan of nearly 500 years, and if they cultivate with a pure heart and no distractions within 500 years, it is still very promising to reach the congenital Great Perfection period.
Once that critical point is reached, as long as you resist the thunderstorm, you can feather and soar, completely break away from the body of ordinary people, and enter the realm of flying immortals.
The old madman was overjoyed, nodded slightly and asked, "How many years has Jin Feng entered the Tianzi Pavilion?"
Li Yuan hurriedly reported: "No more, no less, it's been exactly ten years"
"Not bad, it's really good" Dean Geng also laughed loudly, "Coming out of the Phantom Sea Realm, I will reach the innate level in ten years, which is already very good, and if I cultivate it well in the future, the potential is limitless......"
To be so praised by Dean Geng, Li Yuan and the others also showed envy in their eyes.
Suddenly, the old madman asked abruptly, "I wonder how many years it will take for Zhou Dong to reach the innate level?"
"Doom ......"
Dean Geng's words were paused, and he felt extremely difficult to say in his heart.
Hearing these two immortals talking about Zhou Dong, the ears of everyone around the back were all stunned, and they listened attentively.
After a pause, Dean Geng said: "The meteor realm of Zhou Dong is extremely difficult and complicated, and it is difficult to perceive, and it is extremely difficult to reach the innate ......."
After a pause in his tone, he continued: "However, Zhou Dong, this kid can't be treated as an ordinary person." I don't know how many soul spirit beads he has fused in the realm of the Phantom Sea, if he really reaches the level of Xuanzong, everything is hard to say......"
"Xuanzong, Zhou Dong is actually able to reach the level of Xuanzong?"
The people around him took another long breath of cold air.
For thousands of years, only three people in the Extreme Martial Academy could reach this level, and if Zhou Dong really reached this level, then his status would not be limited to Tianzi Pavilion.
......
Just as he was saying this, suddenly, countless sounds of skimming the air came from the Heavenly Secret Path.
"Haha......"
The old madman laughed loudly at this time, "These innate boys of the empire have come to join in the fun this time. ”
More than thirty figures gathered in front of the Illusory Sea Realm and bowed to the two immortals.
After meeting them, Dean Geng smiled and said to the old madman: "There are Meteor Realm powerhouses who have the hope of reaching the innate level, Xia Yu is not tempted, so it's strange......"
"yes, I'm tempted to think about it," the old madman pouted, and suddenly burst out laughing.
In the past, the genius who created his own meteor realm was able to seriously injure a strong person in the Jindan stage in the congenital stage, and it made people feel fascinated when they thought about it. And today, Zhou Dong actually hopes to create that glory again, how can this moment not be expected.
......
The sky lit up, and when the first rays of the morning sun shone straight into the valley, Zhou Dong, who was full of fatigue, finally pushed open the door of the Illusion Tower and walked out
"Look, Zhou Dong is out"
I don't know who was the first to see it, and shouted, and in an instant, there was a "whew", and everyone stood up.
Dean Geng stretched out his hand and made a move forward, and a flexible giant force wrapped Zhou Dong inside, and he was pulled closer in an instant.
"Oh"
An earth-shattering cheer suddenly sounded in front of the hedron array, and the students were all boiling as they watched the triumphant return of Zhou Dong.
"Brother Dong is amazing......"
"Brother Dong, your advancement is too powerful, we will always support you......"
"Brother Dong, you are my idol......"
The noisy sound startled Zhou Dong, looking at the eager crowd, Zhou Dong seemed to have experienced two worlds at once, before he came back to his senses from the thoughts of the Spiritual Illusion True Hall and returned to the real world. ,
Opening the passage was too consuming, so that his brain was still buzzing, and he felt tired from the depths of the sea of knowledge.
Looking at Zhou Dong, whose faces were full of fatigue, Ling Ruo and Xia Junru both felt distressed at the same time.
Ling Ruo quietly pushed Xia Junru forward, and said half-jokingly, "Why don't you go and comfort Zhou Dong......
Xia Junru's face suddenly turned red at this time, and she turned around in place timidly, embarrassed to move forward.
"Hahaha...... Dean Geng laughed loudly at this time: "Zhou Dong, you are really beyond the expectations of all of us." I want to ask, how many soul beads have you fused in it?"
This question immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the scene instantly fell silent again.
Zhou Dong looked tired, and said with a smile: "I fused six ......"
He didn't dare to say eleven and a half, and if he did, he would definitely be treated as a monster.
With a "boom", the terrifying sound in the crowd sounded again, and there was another genius in the Extreme Martial Academy who had reached the level of Xuanzong, and all such geniuses were based on millennia.
What kind of concept is this?
The eagerness and envy in people's eyes have been undisguised.
Dean Geng and the old madman also glanced at each other, and they could both see ecstasy in each other's eyes.
"Hahaha, good, as expected. Let's all disperse, let Zhou Dong rest and rest, these two days, the celebration activities are still waiting for him, and the emperor has to have a more unique reward......"
Dean Geng laughed loudly, and winked in the direction of Xia Junru, which made Xia Junru's face flush again.
Ling Ruo took Xia Junru's hand and squeezed through the crowd and squeezed to Zhou Dong's side.
"Second sister, Junru ......"
Seeing them, Zhou was also warm.
Ling Ruo laughed and said, "You stinky boy, you can always do something unexpected." The eldest sister has a letter, and she will be transferred to the imperial capital in the near future, so let's have a family banquet and celebrate it for you again. ”
"The eldest sister is also coming?" Zhou Dong had a surprise in his eyes.
"En," Ling Ruo nodded, and said with a twist: "But we'll talk about this later, let's go, you and Junru have a good chat, hahaha......"
Ling Ruo forcibly dragged away the reluctant girls who were gathered around.
There were only two of them left, but Xia Junru suddenly felt that there was no longer that sense of cowardice, and Zhou Dong's extremely cordial feeling made her heart calm down all of a sudden.
Zhou Dong looked at Xia Junru with a playful smile and said, "Beauty, I didn't expect to win you without paying attention."
"Hmph, you're cheap...... Xia Junru wrinkled her nose mischievously, naturally picked up her arm and helped him walk forward.
Behind him, Ma Qingchuan's gaze was full of a strong look of difficulty.
......
Three days later.
The most magnificent hall of the palace - the Tenglong Hall is a celebratory color, the whole body of the dark gold color of the gold brick and jade pillar, draped in red gauze silk, countless night pearls will reflect the glow of the hall, auspicious and festive has become the theme of today's hall.
The five immortals are high above, and at the bottom, there are dozens of congenital powerhouses and civil and military officials, and then below, the teachers of the Tianzi Pavilion and the Yanwu Hall of the Jiwu Academy, and dozens of student representatives are also standing on both sides to witness this celebration together.
Zhou Dong, Xia Junru, Zhemusi, and Ma Qingchuan lined up, standing respectfully waiting for the reward.
Gu Fang smiled at this time, and said with a long smile: "I didn't expect that there would be a tie for the top three this year, and I have to take out four of these storage rings at once."
In the long laughter, Gu Fang's hand flipped over, and four rings with simple shapes suddenly appeared, the color of the rings was a little strange, blackened dark brown, and the faint pattern flashed with a mysterious silver halo, slowly turning in the ring.
Among them, one ring is engraved with the image of a dragon with its head raised, one is engraved with the image of a male lion, and two are engraved with the image of a tiger in the mountains and forests.
Gu Fang raised his hand slightly, and the four rings flew into the hands of the four people in the air.
Zhou Dong stretched out his hand to take the ring with the dragon pattern, and gently put it on the index finger of his left hand with joy, but he felt that his fingers were cool, and a feeling of blood connection instantly surged into his heart.
At the top of his life, his divine sense entered the ring and scanned the space, but he felt that there was a space the size of a house. With great joy in their hearts, the four of them bowed down at the same time to thank them.
waved his hand to tell Zhemusi and Ma Qingchuan to step down, and at this time, only Zhou Dong and Xia Junru were left in front of the stage.
The emperor was also full of smiles at this time, he laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Zhou Dong, I have issued a holy decree, and the first person who has broken through the Phantom Sea Realm this year can have Princess Junru as his wife. Now, I will hand over the future of the third princess to you, you must remember to cherish your love, and don't let Junru be wronged a little ......",
Zhou Dong's face was full of joy when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked up: "Emperor, have you really handed over Junru's future to me?"
Hearing this question, everyone was stunned, Emperor Xia Yu nodded lightly and said: "Of course, Junru's happiness in the future is all in your hands."
"Okay", Zhou Dong suddenly looked high-spirited at this moment, and he said loudly: "Emperor, since you have handed over Junru's future happiness to me, then I will give her the happiness she wants." ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Dong turned around slightly, looked at Xia Junru with a smile and said: "Junru, I have always regarded you as my best friend, I know your heart, you don't need a marriage now, you need a freedom to break all the shackles, then now, I will give you back your freedom, and in the future, you will no longer belong to anyone, you are free......"
Although Zhou Dong's voice was soft, it was like a thunderbolt, which shocked all the people in the hall.
Xia Junru looked at the figure full of kindness with an unbelievable face, and in an instant, she felt a hot current in her heart rush to the top of her head, and tears rolled in front of her eyes in an instant.
She was so moved, she had never been touched when she was so big.
The kind of heartfelt and soul-deep touching.
From childhood to adulthood, there are countless people who have been good to her, but no one can understand her like Zhou Dong and see what she wants so intimately.
For more than 10 years, unremitting efforts have been made for the goal of freedom, for the goal of being free from any shackles. When she withdrew from the territory of the Phantom Sea, she was heartbroken for a while, feeling that her pursuit of more than ten years was completely meaningless.
Although Zhou Dong's strong advancement prevented her from falling into the abyss of pain, this marriage must have been unexpected for her.
And today, Zhou Dong once again broke everyone's concept, and braved the world's disobedience to resolutely give her what she wanted, at this moment, happiness came so suddenly, and it came so heartily, that Xia Junru almost couldn't believe that all this was true.
"Zhou Dong......" Xia Junru looked at this figure, and cried softly in her tearful eyes.
Zhou Dong smiled and nodded lightly to her.
"Thank you"
Xia Junru's silver teeth bit lightly, and thanked softly from the soul.
......
"What did you say?"
With a "whew", Emperor Xia Yu stood up from his seat, and a majestic momentum was like the power of thunder, pressing straight down on Zhou Dong who was standing below.
The entire hall was instantly plunged into the boundless wrath of the immortals.
Everyone was secretly terrified.
With a "bang", the purple mangs of the handprint in Zhou Dong's mind rose into the air, and the powerful power of the handprint protected Zhou Dong under the terrifying pressure that he still had room to speak.
"Emperor, Junru is my best friend, I know very well what she wants, so I will give her what she wants. Even if I don't have this engagement, I will regard her as my dearest person in the future, and use my life to protect her from being hurt in the slightest."
Zhou Dong's words are categorical.
Xia Yu's momentum was still increasing, and his face was full of anger.
The consciousness of Zhou Dong is like a flat boat, and it is in danger of being destroyed at any time in the boundless waves.
"Father's ......"
Xia Junru's face was pale, and she suddenly rushed to Zhou Dong's side, supporting his shaky body.
Suddenly, the whole momentum "exhaled", and Emperor Xia Yu laughed:
"Okay, good, I think my Xia Yu has been talented all his life, and he has reached the position of Jindan in less than a hundred years, and his mind is not as good as this child.
Zhou Dong is doing well, you have broken the shackles of more than ten years for our Xia family, so that Junru and I can be freed from it, and our father and daughter have to thank you very much. ”
Seeing that Xia Yu was able to untie the knot, he sat down with several immortals on the upper seat and stood up at the same time and laughed loudly.
And at this moment, countless people in the audience all breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the great consummation after this transition, the joy in their hearts was even stronger than just now.
