Chapter 471: 249: Nai’er makes it possible, Ashi Liren

Yan Nai’er fell into silence.

In matters of love, she possessed a strong sense of possessiveness and was unwilling to share her lover with any other woman.

However, she had to consider Suo Lun’s ambitions and ideals.

As a woman, she naturally wanted her husband to establish immortal merits and to realize his grand ambitions.

What’s more, the most important thing was that she had been attacked by an assassin from Heibing Mansion sent by Turing Duo and was poisoned with a strange poison. After that, she refused the antidote offered by Turing Chen and chose to have Suo Lun save her instead.

Suo Lun used dark energy to save her life, but the consequence was drawing on her future lifespan.

A few days ago, she heard the terrible news that Suo Lun had fought to the death with Turing Chen and was once again gravely injured, allowing the dark energy to save her once more, instantly healing her but at the cost of draining her life yet again.

So, how much longer could she live? Perhaps less than ten years.

In that case, should she continue to hinder Suo Lun? After her death, who would accompany him? Could she leave him to a life of loneliness?

Of course, Nai’er herself did not feel much agony. She was already very content to be by her lover’s side. If she could give Suo Lun a few more children in the time to come, it would be more than perfect.

Gao Yu, the eunuch before her, might have had his own ulterior motives, but he did make one point that was right. If their affection was mutual, why bother about the vanity of the title of husband and wife?

Though Nai’er repeatedly told herself not to fuss about the vanity of such a title, she still felt a heart-wrenching pain. Of course, she cared about the title of husband and wife, for marriage is the finest ending to love, and also its most beautiful symbol.

After a full quarter of an hour, Yan Nai’er took a deep breath and said, "I accept the order!"

Gao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Miss Yan Nai’er, for your understanding."

Then, he went to pass the decree to Suo Lun, announcing the King’s grant of marriage.

...

Meanwhile, to the north-northwest of the Rage Wave Kingdom!

White Gazelle City is the northwesternmost city in the Rage Wave Kingdom and, likewise, one of the Kingdom’s vassals.

Beyond White Gazelle City lies the border of the Rage Wave Country.

The peerless beauty, Ashi Liren, had just left White Gazelle City yesterday.

Accompanying her was a little girl named Anan. This child was someone she had rescued from the blade of the Underworld Society assassin.

Ironically, this child was also Suo Lun’s lifesaver.

At that time, Suo Lun had been captured by an Underworld Society assassin, and Ashi Liren, who passed by, had no intention of rescuing him. Later, when the girl scolded the assassin for riding horses through the wheat field and the assassin wanted to kill her for it, Ashi Liren intervened.

Unable to bear the sight, she killed a dozen warrior layer assassins from the Underworld Society with a clean sweep, saving the little girl and indirectly rescuing Suo Lun in the process.

Ashi Liren rode a snow-white steed on the country road.

Her face was still veiled, but the eyes that showed, along with her figure that resembled a fairy or a witch, and the ice-cold demeanor, enraptured everyone even with just a glance of her silhouette.

Wherever she went, the temperature seemed to drop a dozen degrees and the air was filled with her enchanting fragrance.

At that moment, a few villagers were moving about sparsely on the road. Upon seeing Ashi Liren’s figure, some were left dumbfounded, while others immediately knelt down on both sides of the road.

The so-called downfall of a city or a state was nothing but this.

"Auntie, where are we going?" the little girl Anan asked.

Ashi Liren replied, "We are going to pay respects to someone!"

Today was the tenth anniversary of her husband’s death. Thus, she had traveled thousands of miles to pay him a visit!

Her husband, Yan Ping, was born into a rural civilian family and after his death, he was laid to rest in the village beside his ancestral home.

The hometown of her husband was a place called Fallen Leaf Village.

The village was filled with maple trees. When autumn came, the scattered fallen leaves blanketed the ground.

Of course, it was spring now, and almost all the fallen leaves had decayed, a time when all things come back to life.

By dusk!

Ashi Liren entered her husband’s hometown, Fallen Leaf Village.

Here, it was still desolate with scant habitation and barren landscapes.

The ancestral home of her husband’s family had already become completely dilapidated, now the home of wild animals.

Her husband’s grave was also overgrown with weeds.

Ashi Liren first cleared the weeds from atop the grave until it was completely clean, then she placed incense and candles in front of the grave, along with a jar of wine and a roasted quail.

After that, Ashi Liren knelt in front of the grave.

Seeing this, the little girl Anan also knelt down beside her.

"Husband, I’m here to see you. Not a single day has gone by in these years when I haven’t been thinking of you!"

"Our child is still as mischievous as ever, causing headaches for everyone and completely disobedient. He’s driven away more than a dozen tutors by now and has become a terror that no one can handle. Dear husband, if your spirit is listening, please help Liren out!"

The usual Ashi Liren was cold as ice, sparing with her words.

But at this moment, she seemed to become someone else, like a coquettish little girl pouring her heart out to her lover.

As she spoke, she remembered her husband’s voice and smile, and Ashi Liren’s heart ached so much that she cried tears like rain.

Her husband, Yan Ping, was only modest-looking, completely unversed in martial arts, and came from a commoner background.

On the surface, he was totally mismatched for Ashi Liren.

At that time, Ashi Liren looked down on the sons of nobles and royalty, ignored the young talents of the entire Human Kingdom, and even rejected the courtship of the crown prince of Dongli Kingdom.

Oddly enough, she fell for Yan Ping, a man unremarkable in appearance, devoid of any talent for combat.

In her heart, husband Yan Ping was so knowledgeable, so intelligent, so kind, so humorous, and so tender.

He was the best man in the world, loving her with all his life.
