Chapter 0147 The promise of dusk (thirty)(1/2)
Chapter 147 The Agreement at Dusk (Thirty)
When Qileren was younger, he fantasized like every boy about what the scene would be like when he entered the wedding hall. There were wedding banquets, guests, ceremonies, music, dresses, wedding rings, and a bride who fell in love with him.
But life is a miracle composed of countless uncertainties. I am afraid that he would exhaust his imagination when he was eighteen years old, and he would never have thought that he would hold a wedding with such a person in such a place.
But this is the best wedding because this is his favorite person.
Near the Purgatory Fire Lake deep in the underground Ant City, the special geology makes it full of various lava caves. They are in one of the caves - the one that Qi Le people took him to rest after finding Ning Zhou.
In the past few months, there has been no change here. The fluorescent mushrooms growing on the walls and the luminous moths flying by from time to time are so familiar.
Qi Leren's body was still weak. Although he could open half of the field, he could not use it for a long time. He just picked out seven beautiful white roses from it, and then began to direct Ning Zhou to set up a cave. However, there was really no place to decorate here, and no matter how you dressed up, it was a light-year away from a qualified wedding hall.
But neither of them cared. Qi Leren smiled and commanded the young demon king around the whole process, and even asked him to dig two side-by-side large pits in the cave, leaving a one-meter-wide corridor in the middle, and then brought magma from the lake of fire and poured it into the pit, so that they could walk through the magma and walk to the archer.
The escort was a big black bird, Ning Zhou's eagle. It was caught by Ning Zhou and received emergency training for the wedding escort. However, it fled to Qi Leren and asked him for food. Qi Leren and teased it with a smile until Ning Zhou caught it aside again.
The wedding ring was not prepared, so I made up for it with the engagement ring, so I naturally didn't have to think about the dress. Neither of them was prepared, but Qi Leren found a more formal suit from the prop bar. Once, Chen Baiqi was in a good mood to take him shopping and bought it by the way, saying that it was worth the breakfast money of her and Xixi. This was the first time Qi Leren wore it.
Ning Zhou wore the Holy See's uniform, and his outfit was really handsome. Qi Leren praised Ning Zhou blushed with praise, and then changed the subject: "Why... you wear that pair of jeans?"
"No." Ning Zhou subconsciously said the words of rejection.
Qi Leren felt a little surprised for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he realized why he was surprised: because Ning Zhou had almost never rejected him anything.
It is really difficult for Ning Zhou, a person who rarely expresses himself or does not express his emotions frankly, to say something he refuses. This also means that Ning Zhou regards him as the person he is closest to and can no longer hide his emotions.
Qi Leren actually breathed a sigh of relief. He said it if he likes it, and said it even if he doesn't like it, because that is your closest lover, and you should tell him everything.
It’s great that Ning Zhou can say it.
Qi Leren smiled softly and bent her eyebrows and eyes: "Okay, okay, if you don't like it, you won't wear it. Anyway, this outfit looks very good."
Ning Zhou hesitated instead. He looked at it again and again with ripped jeans, and finally said seriously: "I'll wear it and look."
"No need to force me, I'm kidding, you can wear whatever you want." Qi Leren said quickly.
Ning Zhou decisively changed into it. The shirt in the Holy See's uniform could not match the pants. Qi Leren also gave him a T-shirt and then became overjoyed.
Ning Zhou, wearing low-waisted ripped jeans, was obviously a little cramped. He always wanted to lift his pants, but he reached halfway through his hand and silently put it back.
After laughing enough, Qi Leren waved his hand: "Okay, I'm very satisfied. Change it and just wear the clothes you like."
"Just this one. I want to wear the clothes you like." Ning Zhou said.
"Sincere?" Qi Leren asked with a smile.
"Yes." Ning Zhou nodded.
Qi Leren sat on the stone and hooked Ning Zhou.
Ning Zhou leaned over and listened carefully to what he was going to say.
Qi Leren quickly took action, put his hands on Ning Zhou's neck, and gave him a sneak attack kiss.
No words were needed, and the gentle sweetness filled his heart. He tried to let go of the battle not long ago and not recall the sadness for a short time. The more desperate he was, the more he needed the power of hope, so he was immersed in the joy of this wedding and used his imagination to describe the future.
After inheriting the dusk land, he cannot leave there for a long time, otherwise the three original forces of the dusk land will be out of balance. So after the wedding, he must go back to the dusk land and rebuild that home. There is still a lot of things he has to do. After inheriting part of the dusk land, he must intervene in the work of the courthouse and learn to manage and protect this home. These are areas he is not familiar with. He must re-learn and strive to make himself reliable.
He can no longer rely on others, he wants to become a person worthy of everyone's trust.
No matter how many difficulties there are ahead, they can overcome them together, so he is fearless.
Night falls quietly, and in this sunless underground world, a couple is about to enter the palace of marriage.
The magma of Lake Fire was led into this underground cave by a ditch. The fiery red colors illuminated the dark cave. The luminous moths flying from the depths of the cave were attracted by the light and rushed towards the magma one after another, burning to ashes.
"Hold it." Qi Leren handed over the white rose to Ning Zhou, and he took the bouquet of red roses that Ning Zhou gave him.
Ning Zhou silently held up the flowers and did not express any comments on this unrestrained wedding ceremony.
In this shabby wedding ceremony, everything was simplified to the extreme, and even as you wish. Yuying served as the emcee, and Qi Leren hummed the wedding march himself, holding Ning Zhou's hand and walked over the road in the middle of the magma.
Along the way, the two kept looking at each other, smiling at the corners of their lips and eyebrows.
Yuying paved impatiently on the stone platform until the two of them came to it.
It cleared its throat, screamed a few times, and then tilted its head: "I forgot the word."
Qi Leren laughed out loud on the spot and pushed Ning Zhou: "Can't you control it to speak? Hurry up."
Ning Zhou stared at the useless bird silently, with a little disgusted look on his face.
"Forget it, I'll do it!" Qi Leren, who never expected the newcomer to play the host of the host, volunteered, holding roses in one hand and Ning Zhou's hand in the other, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ning Zhou, are you willing to marry the man in front of you? No matter how many difficulties there are, you will work together, never leave and share life and death."
Ning Zhou stared at his eyes, and a ripples flashed in the eyes that had amazed him countless times, and it was a layer of tears that soaked the blue eyes:
“…I do.”
Qi Leren smiled and said, "Ahem, Mr. Qi Leren, yes, it's me. Are you willing to marry the man in front of you, whether you are heaven or hell, whether you survive or destroy, you will be with him forever until death separates you."
Immediately afterwards, he said, "Of course I do! We will be together forever! Everyone has witnessed it, and they all wish us happiness."
In this empty cave, those who left seemed to have come here and witnessed the wedding of the two in this purgatory.
It doesn’t matter whether it is right or wrong, sin or punishment, whether it should or not. It’s just that two souls who have experienced countless hardships have come together. This is what love is like.
"Now you can kiss!" The big black bird who acted as the emcee finally remembered a line and stood on the stone platform and shouted.
Qi Leren smiled, hugged Ning Zhou and kissed her, but her lips touched cold tears.
Qi Leren opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Ning Zhou who was suddenly filled with tears. While wiping the tears on his face, he comforted him with heartache: "It's okay, it's all over, everything will be fine. After a while, I will ask for leave from Si Lin, let's go to the polar region to see if the penguins you raise? After two years, my strength will improve and I can condense and incarnate, and we can travel around the world. I can accompany you wherever you want..."
Ning Zhou buried his face in his neck, and silent tears wet his shirt.
The silent sadness finally made Qi Leren realize the unusualness. He asked nervously and confusedly: "What's wrong, Ning Zhou?"
"I'm sorry." Ning Zhou could no longer control the pain at this moment. He held Qi Leren's hand tightly and said sorry over and over again.
Qi Leren wanted to break free from his hand and patted his back comfortably, but found that he could not move.
The red rose fell from his hands because of his stiffness, and fell on the cold earth, in a mess.
At this moment, he suddenly realized something. The questions he did not dare to think about were once again placed in front of him, forcing him to face them.
How did he survive? Why did Ning Zhou hurried to the underground Ant City to complete the task of killing the Demon King? Why didn’t they return to the dusk land after completing the task?
"Ning Zhou, what do you want to do?" Qi Leren asked in a panic.
Ning Zhou let go of his hand and a thin barrier separated them.
Ning Zhou, who was standing on the other side of the barrier, avoided his sight and said lightly: "The illusionist will come to pick you up to the dusk land. I... I want to do something, sorry, but I must go."
"What's the matter?" Qi Leren asked relentlessly, "No matter what you do, let me accompany you!!"
Ning Zhou shook his head and whispered: "It's enough to have me alone in hell."
The sound of footsteps came from the depths of the cave, and a large group of demons appeared in the cave. They stood respectfully, but were silent without saying a word. They respected his lover as king.
Qi Leren was trembling all over. He had already understood what Ning Zhou wanted to do. He wanted to return to the demon world and embark on the path that the old demon king had walked again.
Even more terrifying than that road. He has his own destruction domain, and the demon realm left by the old demon king, once these two domains are completely integrated, he will only be stronger and more terrifying than his father.
Absolute power brings absolute destruction.
Either he is completely devoured by the destruction source, becomes the new king of the demon world, pulling the human world into the endless war; or he uses his remaining reason to destroy the entire demon world and himself.
Ning Zhou had turned around and walked towards the devils.
The world turned upside down at this moment, and the sweetness and happiness that had just happened to be torn to pieces. Qi Leren, despite the severe pain in half of the field, forcibly broke free from the constraints, rushed to the barrier like crazy, and beat hard, shouted at the top of his lungs: "Ning Zhou, you bastard! We just swear that I will be by your side, no matter heaven or hell! Why do you want to leave alone?!"
Ning Zhou stopped leaving, but he did not turn around. The back that was about to disappear in the glimmer of light was as lonely as a dream about to disappear.
He is leaving, he is going to lose him, he is going to lose him!
Qi Leren's reason was instantly destroyed by this cognition. He was emotionally broken and cried out of control while knocking on the barrier desperately, but a gap in his realm made him unable to break free. He tried his best to keep him because he knew how terrible this time would be.
"Bastard! Liar! Coward! You can let me out if you have the will! Why do you want to leave alone!!!"
Ning Zhou went to the Demon Realm and returned to the dusk land. They were separated by more than thousands of mountains and rivers.
Ning Zhou stood there quietly like this, without walking away or looking back, as if he hadn't heard it.
Qi Leren knelt down in front of the barrier, looking at him, looking at him, looking at him, looking at him through this thin barrier and the tears in his eyes.
One is reluctant to take steps, the other is reluctant to look away, and they are reluctant to let go of each other.
The choked sob sound of Qi Leren echoed in the air, and the crying sound touched the pain deep in people's hearts, crying so hard that every lover was heartbroken.
"Ning Zhou... wait for me. You are not alone, you will never be alone! I will go find you! I will bring you back from hell, I will not... I will never let you stay in hell alone!" Qi Leren shouted loudly at the back with all his strength.
Ning Zhou's figure trembled, and he finally took a step to escape from this gentle place that was almost swallowed by him. He was afraid that he would lose the courage to leave.
Qi Leren's hand was pressed against the barrier, looking up at his leaving figure, choking and expressing his love:
"I love you, I love you, I love you!"
He said it three times, each word was slitting open his chest and showing that heart full of love to his lover, loving to despair and pain to despair.
Ning Zhou suddenly turned around.
Qi Leren, who saw hope, looked at him with pleading eyes, his lips twitching, and every stroke was a silent word of love.
He knew that Ning Zhou was also reluctant to leave, and he also cried silently for this separation. He would only be deeper than him in the moment. When responsibility and love were placed on the same scale, he had to make a cruel choice, and no matter which one would make him suffer for the rest of his life.
