Sun Lang quietly narrated the story that happened in Ming Zhou.
Everything started with that female cat burglar who liked to come out and steal.
From the beginning, it was that silly female constable who liked to go to extremes, to Eldest Young Miss Zhao of Marquis Jingan's household who seemed to be plotting something.
They accidentally discovered the secret of the demon weapon and saved Zhao Feihuang who was being possessed by The Devil.
Then, the beautiful story began just like that.
Sun Lang was very engrossed in his recollection and narration. Not only did Yinluo and the others smile, even Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai's attention were attracted.
"Later on, I was thinking that this series of coincidences might be fate. The right person would appear at the right time."
He chuckled and said, "After I finished seeing this world and returned to my country, I met Yinluo when I was quietly waiting for the fateful day when the timer reached zero. At first, I only thought that she was a very interesting silly girl who was clumsy and had a childish misunderstanding of this world. She didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth at all … But this kind of girl actually let me see my silly self in the past …"
"I don't know what kind of mood I had, but I decided to move my body and accompany her to find that troublesome female cat burglar. Even if she was a criminal, I still had to rescue her. Then, she would be punished by the law. I haven't had such a foolish thought in a very long time … Then, we actually really discovered a huge conspiracy and saved Young Miss Zhao because of it."
"The development of the plot after that was a little bizarre. Young Miss Zhao seemed to have taken a liking to me and launched a very aggressive attack. Although she was a well-bred young lady, her style was filled with the boldness of a northerner. I have never seen such a battle before. To be honest, although I didn't show it on the surface, I was very happy inside."
He looked at Young Miss Zhao and chuckled, "It's true. It was like a coincidence that I saved you from the hands of that weapon spirit. That weapon spirit recognized me before it died and made me remember some things that I didn't want to remember. Then, you came. Your actions were very strong and wholeheartedly worked hard. It actually made me feel a little relieved …"
"But like I said, once you're involved in a whirlpool, you won't be able to control yourself. There was a follow-up to the matter of the demon weapon. This time, a demon came. He was a horned tiger. He didn't participate in the battle at the Great Barren Mountain, but his parents did. During that bloody battle, he saw the scenes of his parents before they died and deduced some truth."
Sun Lang smiled, "The truth of the Great Barren Mountain is not a very good memory. He was ordered to investigate the matter of the demon weapon. In reality, he wanted to carry out its plan to take revenge on the Empire. He made a deal with Old Hu and wanted to reveal this matter to him so that he could sow discord between some of the Tian Yuan Empire's generals and the Imperial Court. However, he never expected that I would still be alive and in Ming Province."
"I stopped Old Hu from investigating the truth. I killed the horned tiger, but it also made me recall even more memories that I didn't want to touch. The hatred in my heart erupted again, and I actually wanted to kill Old Hu. It was Yinluo who appeared in time. Also, Chao Po-tao came too … This was the happiest thing for me. After not seeing him for two years, Chao Po-tao was still the same as before. He hasn't changed at all …"
He smiled at Zhao Yunlong, "It was great that she appeared at that time. Because of that matter, Old Hu and I had disagreements. I even began to be secretly suspicious and let my imagination run wild. It was Chao Po-tao who appeared in time that made me suddenly realize that there were still some of my former comrades who would treat me well no matter what …"
Sun Lang's eyes flashed with the light of contemplation. He said in a low voice, "How do people change?
It's not a sudden change, but a subtle influence. When I look back on the past, the time I spent with everyone in Ming Province, it was the bits and pieces of daily life. It was the daily bickering, teasing, and joking. It was sitting together every day, eating together, chatting under the sun. There was nothing earth-shattering, and we laughed every day. That was very good … "
"After that, things kept happening. They were all the continuation of the demon vessel incident. I was swept into this whirlpool and couldn't help myself. Things kept happening one after another."
"Because the horned tiger injured Priest Bai Xue, we ran into Ping Yidao when we were looking for a doctor. Similarly, because of the horned tiger's death, another group of people came to Ming Province to continue the investigation, which indirectly led to Ping Yidao's death."
"In order to find a good teacher for Ping Yidao's disciple, we went to Lu Town. In the end, we were swept into the changes of the Demon Sword Ketu. Aunt Lu and I finally wrote off our old grudges and untied the knot in our hearts."
"Then, someone finally couldn't hold back anymore. He single-handedly planned the imperial envoy to the North and Xuan Jia to enter Ming Province."
"One cycle after another. Everyone appeared at the perfect time. Everything happened naturally."
He smiled and said, "But none of this is important. What's important is that in every matter, I made the choice that I thought was correct. Why is that?
I'm clearly a sociopath who can't get rid of the resentment in my heart. I'm filled with malice and coldness toward this world. If there was a button in front of me that would destroy the world if I pressed it, I would most likely slap it after thinking about it. "
Sun Lang raised his head and looked at the sky. If those people who died turned into stars, they should all be watching this world.
"The first time I killed someone after the battle of the Great Desolate Mountain was to take revenge for Ping Yidao. That strike of my sword was so carefree and without a trace of regret.
I erected a tombstone for him and inscribed it. I promised him that I would take care of Sima Ping. I used my experience to make up for the mistakes in Ping Yidao's medical skills and found a new teacher for Sima Ping. In the past, I didn't want to get involved in these matters at all. "
"I insisted on getting involved in Aunt Lu's matters. I got to the bottom of the matter of the Eight Distresses. I gave up on the demon sword and saved Aunt Lu's soul. I finally forgave her for her coldness toward me in the past. I got to know a good friend called Kong Zhongwu. Because he was a good friend, I didn't kill him …
"I killed Qin Hui. Before Qin Hui died, he released the darkness in my heart. He announced his victory and mocked me for falling to such an end.
"At that time, my heart was already entangled with killing and revenge. If it wasn't for a silly girl who found some clues and rushed out of the house in her mecha. First, she rushed into her old superior's house and beat him up. Then, she rushed to Hu Shouxin's house and slaughtered a group of Black Armored Troops to save his wife. In the end, she stopped me in time … I'm afraid that today's situation would be different.
"But in the end, I made the right choice. I made the choice that I thought was right … I saved my brothers as the Grand Marshal, not as an avenger who went on a killing spree. I did too many things that seemed normal but were actually quite strange. The me in the past would never have done that … It's probably because I changed."
He looked at Zhang Yinluo, Zhao Feihuang, Lu Shu-jen, Zhao Yunlong, and even Xu Qingluan. He said softly, "It's you who changed me. I don't hate this kind of change."
The girls were stunned for a moment. Then, they smiled faintly.
"All of you are very, very good to me. I am very grateful to every single one of you."
Sun Lang said calmly, "What gave me the courage to do what I did today, to call everyone here and say something to you?
It's also because of your actions. To be honest, I originally made many plans. I wanted to bluff my way through this matter or run away without saying anything … I originally planned to do this. "
"But this afternoon, I received three letters one after another."
There was helplessness and warmth in his smile. "Chao Po-tao sent one, Courrier sent one, and the messenger from Marquis Jingan's fu also sent one.
A certain three girls who planned the Asura Battlefield and kept saying that they wanted to teach me a lesson. Although they said it very fiercely, their hearts still softened at the last moment. They actually secretly sent me letters at the same time. Their tones were different, but their core thoughts were very unified. They all told me that something was going to happen and that I had to act on my own … "
Auntie Lu, Yinluo and Young Miss Zhao were shocked at the same time. They stared at each other with an expression that said 'I didn't expect you to be this kind of traitor'. But then, they laughed at the same time.
"So it was like this … I originally wanted to run, but you all went to this extent for me. If I just let go and ran, that would be too outrageous."
Sun Lang slowly said, "Before I left tonight, I also talked with Older Sister Bao. She clearly forced me into a dead end. She only needed to ask one more question and I would have to tell her everything. But she still gave up in the end. She couldn't bear to see me in a difficult situation. You all treat me very, very well. I am very grateful …"
"So, this plan was successfully carried out."
"Because it wasn't just me who wanted to gather you all together. You all also wanted to bypass me and solve this problem on your own. You didn't want to make things difficult for me … so this plan was able to be carried out smoothly.
In other words, I made use of your kindness and softness. That's why I was able to calculate your actions. That's why you all obediently came over as I planned. "
"I gathered you all together because I have something to say to you. Tonight, I must say it."
The girls seemed to have a premonition of something. In an instant, they all held their breaths at the same time. Their minds were blank.
Sun Lang took a deep breath.
Under the moonlight, his expression was unprecedentedly serious. Every word he said was so firm, like a mountain.
"I like all of you. I like all of you very much. Responding to your feelings, I express my feelings here. I like all of you!"
Sun Lang clenched his fists. His eyes were unwavering as he looked at everyone. Everyone could see that he was serious. Perhaps even in the most intense and serious battle, he had never been so serious.
"I know that this is very shameless, very shameless, very scum, very immoral, very fickle, but … just accept it!"
Sun Lang shouted, "I don't know what to say. I don't know how to coax women. I don't know how the winners in life do it. So, I can only do it according to my own ideas!
I like all of you!
You have to marry me!
You must marry me!
You can't refuse!
Otherwise, I will use all kinds of non-fatal methods to grind you down until you marry me!
You know what I will do! "
"So, whether it's pursuing or dating, let's date like a normal couple!
No matter who it is, it has to be like this!
Especially you two, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, your marriage is annulled!
You haven't fallen in love, and you haven't proposed. This marriage has no effect. You can't steal it from everyone else!
Let's start from the beginning! "
— — Sun Lang's words were fierce. Spittle flew everywhere. The girls were stunned.
No one felt that it was ridiculous, no one felt angry, no one sneered, no one felt happy. Because at this moment, there was only one thought in everyone's mind.
— — He actually said it out loud!
In everyone's heart, they actually felt a little … gratified?
Sun Lang's tone softened a little, but it was still very fierce. Although he looked fierce and his words were very domineering, but … that should be because he was nervous.
He said with a serious face, "I know it might be hard to accept, but I'm serious. I've worked hard for six years, and I didn't get anything good. Now that I finally got something good, you want me to let it go? There's no way!
I know your hearts might be in a mess, but I'm even more confused. But it doesn't matter. There's still a long time. I'll use both hard and soft tactics to make all of you agree!
Not a single one of you can be left out!
You should be mentally prepared! "
Everyone looked at each other. For a moment, they were at a loss. They never thought that Sun Lang would dare to go to this step. They were all at a loss and didn't know what to do.
In the silence, Zhao Yunlong suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, "Reporting to the marshal!
I'm ready! "
