Arc 2.17 Zu Tian

In the year ****, Emperor Zu Tian wiped out all of the rebels and executed all the people who had gone against his rule on the spot.

In that year, Feng Niao of the Wei Kingdom was crowned Empress and ruled the land hand in hand with Emperor Zu Tian.

With the two's combined knowledge and strength, they conquered land after land after endless battles and united the world with mercy and kindness.

Empress Feng who was a man, when he was first crowned met many malicious words and was asked to step down.

But, Empress Feng only met these people head-on and prove to them that he was qualified to be Emperor Zu Tian's Empress despite being a man and standing beside him.

Empress Feng's words were then turned into action, he conquered all the land and united the world together with Emperor Zu Tian.

All the officials who had wanted him to step down closed all their mouths and bowed down to the Empress and accepted his status.

Though Empress Feng was accepted, in the dark many people were still unsatisfied with him. Much more when the harem was dissolved for him.

"I, Zu Tian, will only have one man in my life!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

All officials knelt down and beg for the Emperor to rescind his order but Zu Tian only looked at them indifferently.

"I am the Emperor! I rule all the land and my words are gold! What I said cannot be taken back! In this life, I will only take Feng Niao as my only love."

Holding Feng Niao's hand, Zu Tian declared to the world his undying and eternal love for him.

He swore to both heaven and earth that he will only have Feng Niao as his wife in that lifetime.

"Your Majesty!"

After the world-shaking declaration, people denounce them and some were amazed by the Emperor and Empress's love for each other. Not even gender or nation could stop.

For the Emperor, the Empress became a traitor to his country and became the sword of the Emperor to conquer the land and his heart.

For the Empress, the Emperor dissolved his harem and declared his undying love for him and will only have him as his wife in that lifetime.

He became his shield who protect him from all harm.

The two really climbed mountain of swords and walk the ocean of flames for their love.

For their love, they were willing to sacrifice and give their all.

For generations, their love story was passed on as the most amazing and truest love of all time.

[It's finally a happy ending]

Xiao Xiao who was watching the two affectionate couple wipe its invisible tears happy to see that its Host was happy.

'But it's useful. Maybe in the future, I will get to use this.'

"Tian."

"What is it?"

Zu Tian snapped from his daydreaming and looked at Feng Niao with a tender smile.

With the morning sun illuminating his figure, it only made the tan-skinned man's skin more beautiful and ethereal in his eyes.

No matter what others say that he only had a pretty face and a scarred brawny body, for Zu Tian he is perfect.

"What are you thinking of?"

Feng Niao snuggled inside Zu Tian's embrace feeling his non existant warmth.

"I'm thinking of...."

Zu Tian slyly smile and trailed his fingertips on Feng Niao's back making the other shudder.

"....you."

Saying so, Zu Tian went in for a full hard kiss tossing Feng Niao again for a good half a day in bed.

Zu Tian lived for sixty years in that world together with Feng Niao in happiness and bliss.

There was not a day that he did not find it happy since being with Feng Niao was the happiest time.

"Tian..."

Feng Niao whose hair was already white from old age, skin already wrinkled, bones old, and can no longer exert enough strength sat beside Zu Tian who was also already old and dying while holding his hand.

"Ah'Feng, don't cry."

Zu Tian reaches his wrinkled hand out and wipes the falling tears of Feng Niao.

Just as before, Zu Tian looked at Feng Niao with the same tenderness in his eyes.

No matter how many years had passed nor how old and wrinkled they get, for him, Feng Niao was the most beautiful person in his eyes.

"If there is a next life, can we meet again?"

With that, Zu Tian finally breathed his last leaving Feng Niao to mourn for his death as he returned to the System's space.

"Tian!!"

With Zu Tian's death, all of the world mourned for his death.

The wise Emperor who had brought a lot of changes to their world had finally breathed his last but his legend will never be forgotten even in the later generations, he will forever be engraved in their hearts.

In the year ****, after Prince Zu Nan who was the adopted son of the Emperor and Empress was crowned Emperor, Empress Feng finally passed away the day after that.

Empress Feng was then buried in the Emperor's tomb alongside Emperor Zu Tian as what was ordered in a decree by Emperor Zu Tian before his death that Empress Feng be buried beside him when he dies.

Let's enjoy getting drunk under the moonlight~

As we reminisce memories~

"If I really had the thought of killing you back then, what would you have done?"

With his back turned, Zu Tian turned and look at Feng Niao with a smile.

"There is no if. I would still marry you anyway."

END

[Host, are you alright?]

Xiao Xiao cautiously looked at its Host who was standing on the big space in a daze. It really thought that its Host had broke down.

"I'm fine. How was the mission progress this time, Xiao Xiao?"

Shu Yin looked at Xiao Xiao with his usual stoic face. He did not seem like he was the least bit affected by what just happened in the mission world just now.

[The same as usual. The host had a high score!]

Xiao Xiao blew up a party confeti and acted excited and amazed but it was still curiously looking at its Host to see his reaction.

[Host, are you okay?]

"Why would I not be okay?" Shu Yin smiled.

[Because.... You, Zu Tian have died, and Feng Niao....]

Thinking of Feng Niao, Xiao Xiao felt awful and sad. The System looked like it was about to cry.

[Aren't you just too indifferent to what just happened, Host? The two of you at least spent sixty years together and you did not even feel sad or cried being separated from him for who knows how many years!]

Xiao Xiao felt so emotional that Shu Yin did not even look affected and even had the guts to smile after the tear-jerking separation of him and Feng Niao.

Their love story was against all odds moved Xiao Xiao's heart so much that it could not take it, it could not take it to see Shu Yin was so indifferent about it.

"Xiao Xiao." Shu Yin said that broke Xiao Xiao's attitude.

It finally came to its senses and looked at its Host in both distress and self-blame.

[Host, I'm sorry.]

"It's alright." Shu Yin faintly smiled.

Xiao Xiao looked at Shu Yin for some time before talking again.

[Host, are you alright?]

The System asked the same question again, it thought it would be met with silence but Shu Yin answered it.

"Yes."

[Aren't you too indifferent.]

But before it could finish what it was about to say, Shu Yin continued his words.

"I should be fine."

[Host?]

Shu Yin faced Xiao Xiao and took the little furball in his arms and softly pat its head.

"No matter how hard, sad, or heartbreaking it is, I must be fine. I should be fine or just pretend I am fine."

[What do you mean, Host? Are you not okay?]

Shu Yin just smiled and continued talking as if he did not hear Xiao Xiao's words.

"Even you who can't understand human emotions got even angry for Feng Niao's sake, what more me? But in this endless world hopping with no sight of the future or the end, I will meet many people and also leave them again and again. No matter how happy or joyful these meetings are, in the end, I had to leave. And when I'm back in the System space, I have to be fine."

[Host.... I'm sorry, Host.]

Xiao Xiao was already crying a river of tears, it did not expect that its Host was so sad and it even berated its Host for being heartless!

It was wrong!

"If not, how could I possibly go on this long road? If I don't pretend, if I don't recognize them, if I don't forget, would I not break?"
