"Please rise," Tan Yun waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, lord ancestral god!" The citizens and soldiers stood up.
"Husband!" Nangong Yuqin pouted, looking at Tan Yun with displeasure, "I hate you! You clearly faced danger yet deceived us sisters."
"Exactly!" Tang Mengyi chimed in, placing her hands on her waist.
Tan Yun took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, it's great to be alive!"
Suddenly, still laughing, Tan Yun stepped forward, wrapped his arms around Nangong Yuqin's waist, and fiercely kissed her cherry-like lips.
Nangong Yuqin pushed Tan Yun away, "Husband, so many people are watching."
"And so what?" Tan Yun laughed heartily, suddenly turning to the citizens and soldiers and saying, "Everyone, turn around!"
"Yes, lord ancestral god." The crowd turned around, and before Nangong Yuqin could say anything, Tan Yun kissed her cherry lips once again.
Nangong Yuqin's beauty was radiant, and she closed her beautiful eyes.
After a long moment, Tan Yun released Nangong Yuqin and walked towards Tang Mengyi.
"Husband, there are too many people, I don't want this," Tang Mengyi said, trying to escape. Tan Yun's figure flickered and appeared in front of her, pulling her into his embrace and whispering in her ear, "Do you know? When I thought my life was about to end, I was so reluctant to leave you all."
"I know, I understand everything." Tang Mengyi took the initiative, standing on her tiptoes, and kissed Tan Yun.
They shared a long kiss that nearly left Tang Mengyi breathless before Tan Yun finally released her and walked towards Feng Jingru, Tan Feng, and Tan Changchun to chat with his parents and grandfather.
Suddenly, Tan Yun noticed something was missing. He turned to Tang Mengyi and asked, "Where's Ziyan?"
Only then did Tang Mengyi and the other women realize that Xue Ziyan was nowhere to be found.
Xuan Yuan Rou conveyed through divine consciousness, "Husband, Ziyan was rejected by you, she must be very sad. You should go find her and bring her back; I'm worried she might think of doing something foolish."
While Xuan Yuan Rou conveyed this, Tang Mengyi also urged Tan Yun to search for Xue Ziyan.
Tan Yun nodded and released his divine consciousness to the maximum extent, extending it in all directions. Eventually, he spotted Xue Ziyan's figure far away on the eastern horizon.
Xue Ziyan was aimlessly flying eastward, in a state of despair.
"Wait here, I’ll go after her." After leaving this sentence, Tan Yun soared into the sky.
"Husband, wait!" Tang Mengyi sent a message, "Husband, tell the truth, do you have feelings for Ziyan?"
Tan Yun nodded, "I do."
Upon hearing this, Tang Mengyi smiled happily, "Alright, I understand. You go quickly."
Without a doubt, Tang Mengyi had the best relationship with Xue Ziyan. When she heard Tan Yun had feelings for Ziyan, she knew that Ziyan had loved Tan Yun for so many years, and now happiness was finally arriving.
At the same time, when Tan Yun rejected Xue Ziyan, she vaguely guessed that Tan Yun did it on purpose, believing he was determined to die and didn't want to harm Ziyan.
…
An hour later, the moonlight was hazy, the stars dim, and fireflies sparkled in the night sky.
Xue Ziyan floated down to the peak of a lone peak, trembling as she knelt, looking up at the void, crying out loud, "Father, mother, please forgive your daughter this once. I really don't want you to see me cry."
"I want to smile and laugh happily, but... woo woo... I’m really very sad..."
"Father, mother, do you know? I deeply love him, yet he doesn't like me... I’m so heartbroken."
Xue Ziyan was devastated.
"Bang bang bang!"
After knocking her head three times, she wiped away her tears and said, "Father, mother, I’m tired, really tired."
"I want to reunite with you. You have always been the stars that protect me in my heart. I also want to become a star, to accompany you forever."
"Please don't blame me for being weak. I really don't want to live anymore, I'm just too tired..."
After saying this, Xue Ziyan summoned the Divine Sword, ready to commit suicide. However, she shook her head and said, "No, if I kill myself and Tan Yun sees my corpse, he will definitely feel guilty. I can't hurt him."
