Chapter 618: Wait for Me to Ask For Your Hand In Marriage

He wanted to be her husband rightfully and properly, with the lawful title of her husband, able to rightfully proclaim her as his wife…
In short, marrying her was something he had yearned for even in his dreams!
While preparing for their return trip, Feng Tianlan asked Luo Yunzhu to first head to the intersection at the only route to Guiyuan Continent and Xuantian Continent to wait for her. She and Si Mobai set out on a journey to return to South Winds Nation.

A towering Imperial Palace was amid billowing clouds and appeared to be a temple above the heavens. Splendid and gorgeous peonies were planted outside the temple. If Feng Tianlan were to see this, she would know that this was the place in her dream.
An enchanting woman stepped on a ladder and slowly moved up. She pushed open a heavy door and walked to the front of a black and gold coffin. The peony on her wrist was gorgeous and splendid, just like her appearance.
She looked at the coffin tenderly and with self-reproach. Then she said to the silver-haired man lying quietly inside, “My King, I, your servant, have already sent someone to find Wu Ya. I, Shang, do not know who he is. But once I find him, I’ll never give him a chance to breathe again!
“My King, when will you wake up? He’s not the only one looking for the Queen now. There’s also an unknown person looking for her.”
She reached out, wanting to touch the person in the coffin, but the moment her hand touched the blood-colored runes, it was like an electric shock. Her fingertips twinged with sharp pain, and her hands quickly retracted. The pupils of her eyes immediately dulled.
She smiled bitterly and continued her report. “They said that when the Queen is found, she’ll be sent to Fengyun Alliance within a few days’ time. If the situation turns out to be true, I, your servant will be able to bring the Queen back.
“She’s coming back. When are you going to wake up? It’s time for you to wake up. It’s been 1,000 years. If you still won’t wake up, the Queen will be taken away by someone else again.”
She reported some matters in front of the coffin as if the man inside it could hear her. A long time passed before she got up and said, “Once the Queen is found, I, your servant will personally make a trip to bring the Queen back.”
She had kept watch over the King for far too long. She would rather he wake up sooner and fancy another woman than watch him lie in the coffin without any vitality. She did not know how long he was going to lie there.
What she feared most was that he would never wake up again.
*South Peace City*
Yellowing leaves lay below the lofty city gate tower on both sides. Stall vendors were hawking their wares. Among the people coming and going, a white-clad pair of a man and woman rode on the back of a snow-white horse as if they were a celestial couple, constantly eliciting sideway glances from the crowd. But the people didn’t dare to speak out. They just snuck passing glances as they passed by.
Feng Tianlan looked up at the city tower. It seemed like she was even able to see the scene of Tu Xiuyu, clad in red clothes, standing on top to demonstrate against Tu Xiupei and Si Rong. Everyone thought she wore red clothes because she had extreme hate. They did not know that she just wanted to marry the person that she loved the most in her heart, even if it meant death.
“Lan’er, what are you looking at?” Si Mobai asked when he saw her look at the city building in a daze.
Feng Tianlan slightly lifted her head and then glanced at his scruffy chin as she replied, “I was thinking—how does it feel to love a person to the extreme and even love them to death?”
Just like Tu Xiuyu, who was betrayed by the one she loved, she was hurt, even dying at the hands of her beloved. Did she not have hate? Why did she still want to marry Si Rong in the end?
She did not understand such love. She felt it was too petty and miserable. There were so many men in the world. Why would she hang herself over that person of all people?
Si Mobai bowed his head and looked at her gently with deep affection. He slowly replied, “She’s the whole world. Without her, the world would collapse.” That was how he felt about Lan’er.
Feng Tianlan smiled and said, “I’ll head back to Feng Manor first…”
Si Mobai was afraid that she would forget the matter, so he hurriedly said, “Wait for me. I’ll come and ask for your hand in marriage tomorrow.”
