Chapter 1013: 465: The Secret of the Demon Emperor! Devouring Fu Lingxi!_2

Suddenly, he felt King Zibian’s grip on his hand tighten, followed by a strained voice beside his ear, "Child, do not let anyone know, anyone!"

The last word "anyone," King Zibian had almost expended all his strength.

By "anyone" he referred to, of course included those closest to him, such as family members and his wife, even Suo Ningbing, Yan Nai’er and Zhen Yan Princess.

Suo Lun’s eyes teared up as he nodded.

Then the King waved his hand, signaling for the people outside to come in.

Suo Lun went to open the door, and Zhi Yan, Zhi Ting, and Gao Yin entered.

The three of them gathered around King Zibian’s bed, each of their gazes filled with love and concern.

The King managed a strained smile, his eyes and face alike expressing happiness.

He didn’t need to speak for others to understand his meaning.

He wanted to convey that despite being a king, he hadn’t been very successful, for his lack of compromises led to his being overshadowed by nobles and lords in his last years, and his power was seized by Yin Zhou and Zhi Li.

Yet, he was a successful father, a successful brother, a successful master.

At his deathbed, these people were all around him, filled with reluctance and love.

How many kings, before dying, had sons who, still harboring ulterior motives, fought for power and profit without anyone caring about their life or death, even longing for their quick demise so they could ascend the throne?

And in some dynasties, after the king’s death, his sons continued to fight, letting his body rot and breed maggots.

Yet Zibian, at his dying moments, was loved by so many people.

Thus, he felt unspeakably happy and successful.

He struggled to grasp the hands of Suo Lun and Zhi Yan, his voice trembling, "Get married, get married immediately..."

Then, he joined the two hands together.

At this moment, Suo Lun could no longer hold back, tears bursting forth.

King Zibian, knowing full well that he was Yao Xing, the World-Ending Demon Emperor, still let Zhi Yan marry him, still entrusted the Rage Wave Kingdom to him?

Indeed, he was just like Suo Lun, extremely sentimental.

He really was not a qualified king, but he was indeed a good family member.

Moreover, he urged Suo Lun and Zhi Yan to marry quickly because he couldn’t hold on much longer, and once he was gone, Zhi Yan would have to observe mourning for three years, during which she couldn’t marry.

Therefore, he urged Suo Lun and Zhi Yan to marry quickly, to get married before his death!

"Good, we will marry immediately," Suo Lun said.

The king managed another strained smile, then slowly closed his eyes; he needed to rest.

Next, his only task was to try to live a few more days, three days if possible, five if feasible.

He had to live until the end of Suo Lun and Zhi Yan’s wedding, even though he wouldn’t be able to attend it.

"Husband, you must finish dealing with all state affairs tonight, and send a griffin messenger to Tianshui City, asking sister and Nai’er to prepare for the wedding, and tomorrow morning we shall ride the griffin beast back to Tianshui City to get married," Zhi Yan said.

"Good," Suo Lun replied.

Then, Suo Lun squeezed the King’s hand tightly and kissed his gaunt forehead.

In this world, his father was Count Suo Long.

But before he became Suo Lun, Count Suo Long had already passed away.

So in Suo Lun’s eyes, King Zibian played the role of his father. He and Yan Yan were both fathers-in-law, but while there was trust between him and Yan Yan, there was also distance.

Whereas with King Zibian, there was trust and also a deep familial and close bond.

...

Leaving Ziyu Palace, in the garden.

Suo Lun and Princess Zhi Yan quietly strolled through the night hand in hand, with Zhuang Zhixuan following a few meters behind.

"Yan, are you really sure?" Suo Lun said, "If you wish, you don’t have to marry me. I can spend five years revitalizing the Rage Wave Kingdom, and set up the Southern Expedition Camp. Then I can retire completely, and you can personally manage the kingdom’s affairs. If you think my power is insufficient, you can appoint me as the Prime Minister and the first Marshal of the Commander-in-chief’s Office."

Suo Lun was serious!

After all, he was Yao Xing, the World-Ending Demon Emperor, although this secret was known to no one.

But... he didn’t want to drag down the Rage Wave Kingdom, especially Zibian’s Rage Wave Kingdom.

"No, don’t even think about it," Zhi Yan stopped walking, standing in front of Suo Lun, her starry beautiful eyes looking at him, "My lord, I can’t, I’m only interested in cultivation. If you let me govern, I will mess up the kingdom in a month. Plus, you’ve slept with me hundreds of times, you should take responsibility."

Suo Lun laughed, "It should be I was slept by you hundreds of times."

Princess Zhi Yan seriously said, "Well, then I should take responsibility. We will get married tomorrow, and then for the next month, I will be topped by you every day."

To be topped by you, and to top you! These two are different!

"Good, it’s settled," Suo Lun said.

"It’s settled," Princess Zhi Yan extended her pinky finger, hooking it with Suo Lun’s in agreement.

...

Back at the Cabinet, Suo Lun saw two long-missed people kneeling there.

"Old servant greets his Lord," Gui Xingfu kept kowtowing, his voice choked with emotion.

Yan Wuzhi was not so shameless, respectfully kowtowing, "This servant, Yan Wuzhi, greets Your Excellency the Duke."

"You have finally arrived," Suo Lun said.

Currently, the members of the Rage Wave Kingdom’s Cabinet were all present, including the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Duke Zhi Ting.
