Good luck today

There was no attack, no pain, and the expected barrier strangulation that he had to fight with all his strength did not appear at all.

Su Shixia only felt that the vision in front of her eyes was soaked in a blood-colored mist, and the next moment, the scene in front of her eyes suddenly changed.

The dark cave and the magic circle filled with blood-colored smoke disappeared. What appeared in front of her was a jade building with painted pillars and carved beams.

She stood next to a waterside pavilion, and the wind mixed with moisture blew over the water, soothing the dryness caused by the midsummer sun.

Su Shixia looked around blankly until the fish swung their tails and left ripples on the lake surface, making the sound of water. Then she seemed to be awakened and hurriedly lowered her head to look at the water.

Dozens of koi carps in the lake are happily eating the fish food as they move their heads and tails.

The lake was torn apart by swimming fish. Su Shixia couldn't see her face clearly through the reflection on the lake, but she could vaguely see that the clothes she was wearing were not the same clothes she wore when she entered the underground palace.

Instead, it was a set of particularly gorgeous and exquisite red sacrificial robes. The appearance looked somewhat similar to the red-robed sacrificial robe that always appeared on the murals.

What's happening here?
Su Shixia raised her hand and looked at her fingertips carefully. They were warm and felt like a human body. She could also feel the beating pulse on her wrist. It was indeed her own body.

She was certain that she did not leave the cave, but was attacked by the ghostly shadow formed by the red smoke in the magic circle.

So this situation is...an illusion created by the magic circle? Psychic attack?

Su Shixia frowned and analyzed the current situation, trying to think of a way to solve it.

Just when she raised her hand to touch her chest, ready to touch the pendant to see if her portable space was still there, she suddenly felt her shoulders sink.

A big hand reached out from behind and patted her shoulder very affectionately.

"The ministers in the DPRK are all quarreling with me because of you, and they are all clamoring to resign."

"I told you everything to protect you. You have nothing to do. If you don't help me deal with those gossipy ministers who only want to fight against me, you are still interested in hiding here to feed the fish behind my back. lazy."

The young man's smiling voice reached her ears.

Su Shixia was startled, and immediately turned around to look around, and saw a tall man wearing a black and gold crown standing behind her, looking at her with a smile.

"Why don't you speak? Are you feeling sorry for me? If you really don't want to see me arguing with those ministers every day, then you can take the initiative and tell those old men that you are willing to marry me."

The man's words suddenly sounded like ridicule and a joke.

But when he said this, the man's eyes were always staring straight at her, and the seriousness and probing in his eyes did not seem to be fake at all.

[Are you the so-called Holy Emperor? 】

The question was clearly on her lips, but when Su Shixia opened her mouth, a completely different sound came from her throat.

"Your Majesty, don't joke with me about this matter anymore. I have told your Majesty a long time ago that you and I are definitely not a good match."

"Why?"

The tall and handsome man's eyebrows were raised.

He didn't show it when he was smiling before, but now his face became serious, and the feeling of oppression belonging to a superior person was fully revealed.

"Xiyue, you and I have grown up together since childhood. Although you have been practicing mystical arts with your master for a long time, it is not an exaggeration to say that we are childhood sweethearts."

"After you inherited the position of high priest from your master, you have always been by my side. I have long been accustomed to you being by my side."

"As the king, I am in charge of killing and killing in the world. You are the priest, in charge of the livelihood of all people. As long as you are willing to marry me and become the emperor, we can work together to govern the world in order. Why are you..."

The more the man spoke, the more serious his tone became. Although he tried hard to maintain a basic sense of propriety, there was still a hint of questioning in his words.

While listening to the man speak, Su Shixia wanted to refute several times, but every time she spoke, no sound came out of her throat. Her body seemed to be frozen. Let alone pulling and pushing the man, it was difficult for her to even raise her hands to make some unnecessary movements.

Occasionally, the body will move, such as throwing some fish food casually to attract fish swimming in the lake to grab food.

But that was not at all her original intention.

After testing it several times, Su Shixia vaguely understood that this body seemed to be her own, but the previous magic circle somehow pulled her into the past thousands of years ago.

Her body is now occupied by her "past self".

In this magic circle, everything she sees now, her conversation with the man in front of her, every word and deed she says are all actions of "her past".

She could only watch, but couldn't do anything to intervene.

After thinking about this, Su Shixia stopped struggling and just regarded herself as a bystander, silently watching everything in front of her.

After listening to what the man said, she still looked indifferent but shook her head resolutely.

"Your Majesty, there are many fates in the world, but there is no fate between you and me as husband and wife."

This shouldn't be the first time she has rejected this man.

The man's thin lips were pursed tightly, and the veins on his forehead were faintly exposed.

Su Shixia could clearly see that the man's big hands hidden under his wide sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. Just when she thought he was about to lose control of his emotions, she heard the man suddenly say in a cold voice: "That's alright."

"As you said, everyone has their own destiny. Since you don't want to get married, I won't force it."

"Xiyue, I have been waiting for you for too long, and I will not wait forever for you."

Su Shixia listened silently and didn't answer.

Seeing her silence, the man curled his lips mockingly.

"I cannot make the decision on the marriage of an emperor alone."

"I proposed to marry you before, but the ministers in the court wrote many letters to object. They don't want you, the most powerful high priest in history, to become my woman and be completely tied to me."

"Apart from you, they have recommended many other candidates for me. Among them, the one who has the most support from the ministers of the court is the daughter of the current imperial concubine, Cui Xiazhi."

Hearing the name Cui Xiazhi, Su Shixia frowned visibly.

"Your Majesty, Miss Cui is indeed both talented and virtuous, but she and Your Majesty..."

"You don't think it's appropriate?"

The man heard her hint of opposition and immediately asked: "Then who do you think I should choose? In this Shengyan Dynasty, who is more capable than you and has a better reputation than Cui Xiazhi?"

Su Shixia immediately fell silent when asked this question.

She knew very well that if she objected again, the man in front of her would probably press forward step by step, and finally bring the question back to why she didn't want to marry him.

Therefore, Su Shixia did not continue to struggle with this issue. He only lowered his eyebrows and said, "His Majesty is the Holy Emperor of the Shengyan Dynasty and the Lord of the world. You decide who you want to marry."

The man stared at her for a long time, turned around and left without getting into any more entanglements with her.

Before leaving, Su Shixia faintly heard him say something.

"Feng Xiyue, if I really marry someone else, don't regret it." (End of Chapter)
