Synopsis:
"There's been talk around the Xianzhou lately that the Dragon Lord is taking ten spouses. Do any of you five have something to say about that?" General Teng Xiao stared at the five people below from his seat of honor, wondering what sort of antics they would come up with this time.
Dan Feng didn't even lift his eyelids. He held up a hand and said, "Actually, there are only five."
"Brother, you counted yourself," Jing Yuan whispered in the Dragon Lord's ear.
Dan Feng calmly lowered his thumb and corrected himself. "Four."
Teng Xiao choked. "Does nobody want to say anything else?"
Even Bai Ye, who had been studying the design drawings in his head; Bai Heng, who had been browsing gossip on her jade screen; and Jingliu, who had been lost in thought while pretending to meditate, all replied in unison: "What's there to say?"
The general was so angry he nearly had a heart attack like a short-lived species.
Dan Feng knew the ceremony after that night of drinking had been nothing more than the other four indulging their curiosity and imitating the ancient customs of another race. Even so, he couldn't help hoping that the five of them would stay together until their lives ended, just as the ceremony had blessed them.
But the universe was vast, and a strange object brought back by a pilot unexpectedly revealed to the young guard their fated future: the Foxian would die in battle, trading her life for another's; the Dragon Lord and the artisan would greedily seek immortality, one shedding his scales to be reborn, the other suffering the great punishment until nothing remained of his body; the swordswoman would be trapped by mara and flee into the distance. Only he would be left, bound to his post and mourning the past. Each and every fate would leave nothing but blood and tears.
That divine war was inevitable, but sacrificing his friends for it was absolutely out of the question.
If their destined ending was to fall apart, then he would do everything in his power to reject that future!
Theme: The past is set, but the future is unknown
Jing Yuanyuan is so pitiful ~ 🐶 But did Master Ying enter the venue without knowing anything? The coming-of-age ceremony of the Immortal Seed shocked our Lord Bai Zhi 🐶
So... Is it because I chopped the meat too finely and cut a large part into the dish? Why is there only one comment? Woohoo. It's rare to use my driver's license
I have to say that the extra story written in large letters is very fragrant, and the dishes in it look delicious. Tears flowed straight from the corners of my mouth. It is so happy 🐶
