After hearing Queen Lan Qi's words, Yang Dingtian was stunned. He looked at her for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"
"Don't call me queen. I'm not a queen," Queen Lan Qi said. Her tone was a little impatient, as if she didn't like this word.
Yang Dingtian asked, "Miss Lan Qi, what did you mean by that?"
Queen Lan Qi said, "If you can never leave here, I'm willing to marry you and let you live here for the rest of your life."
Yang Dingtian asked, "Do you like me?
Like a man and a woman? "
Queen Lan Qi shook her head and said, "It's very comfortable to be with you."
Yang Dingtian asked, "That is to say, you don't like me that much. You just treat me as a very good friend, right?"
Queen Lan Qi was silent.
Yang Dingtian asked, "So it's because you feel guilty that you want to make it up to me?"
Queen Lan Qi said, "I feel very sorry for you. You can obviously leave here and get the fifth stage of the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship, and that scroll does indeed belong to you. But because of our ban, you have no choice but to be trapped here."
Yang Dingtian said, "I'm trapped here because I trespassed.
Guarding the Sutra Pavilion is your lifelong mission. You didn't let me down at all.
So, don't say anything like marrying me, lest both of us feel very uncomfortable. "
Queen Lan Qi stood there awkwardly. Yang Dingtian couldn't imagine that the new Naga Empire's Queen was actually such a kind-hearted and pure Naga. Compared to the ancient Naga Empire's ferociousness and bloodthirstiness, they were two extremes.
Perhaps this was deliberately done by the ancient Naga. Only someone as pure and kind as Lan Qi could truly guard the Sutra Pavilion and not let this Pandora's Box be opened.
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian said, "Miss Lan Qi, since this Sutra Pavilion is the source of evil, why not just destroy it?
Wouldn't it be solved once and for all? "
Queen Lan Qi said, "I don't know. Maybe our intelligence and our exploration of the spiritual realm are not at that level, so we can't understand the reason."
Then, the two of them fell into a slightly awkward silence.
"Madam Lan Qi, what have you been doing all these years?"
Yang Dingtian suddenly asked, "We humans have lived for only a few decades, and our hearts are filled with vicissitudes of life. But you have lived for tens of thousands of years, why do you still maintain a youthful mentality?"
"Sleep and think," Queen Lan Qi said. "Time passed by in a flash. It seemed incomparably long, but it also seemed to pass in an instant.
Actually, if you don't throw yourself into love and hate, your state of mind won't change. "
Yang Dingtian nodded.
Without experiencing the twists and turns of love, a person's heart would not grow, nor would it age.
Of course, the emotional twists and turns were joy, anger, sorrow, joy, the seven emotions and six desires.
The joy brought by every success, the blow brought by every setback, the sweetness brought by every love, and the torment brought by every pain made people mature, but at the same time, it also made their state of mind become more and more ancient. That was why people grew old.
"Then in these endless years, have you ever liked anyone?
Oh, it seems to be a male Naga? "Yang Dingtian asked.
Queen Lan Qi thought for a while, and her beautiful face blushed slightly. Then, she nodded.
"Tell me about him," Yang Dingtian said.
"That was a very, very long time ago. He was a very, very cold and special Naga descendant of the sea serpent. He wasn't good-looking, but he was very tasteful. His pursuit of me was very bold and intense. I couldn't bear it and fell in love with him," Queen Lan Qi said. "Of course, we didn't copulate.
You know, we Naga can only have one partner in our lifetime, so copulation is very sacred. It's an exchange of body energy, and it's truly entering each other. "
Yang Dingtian nodded.
Queen Lan Qi said, "Later, we also had to prepare for the wedding. Before the wedding, I asked him what his greatest dream was. He said that he wanted to leave the confinement space of New Naga and go to the vast and boundless world to restore the glory of our ancient ancestors."
Yang Dingtian's brows immediately furrowed.
Queen Lan Qi said, "So, I felt that he came for the Sutra Pavilion and not because he loved me at all.
So, I angrily denounced his betrayal and publicly broke off the engagement. "
Yang Dingtian asked, "And then?"
Queen Lan Qi said, "Then, in order to prove himself, he went to the end of the East Sea World alone. He never returned and was completely lost in the endless void, disappearing forever."
Yang Dingtian asked, "Is it the end of the world we went to see today?"
"Yes," Queen Lan Qi said. "Later, I went to the end of the world many times to look for him, but I couldn't find any trace of him.
I also knew that he would never come back, because he went forward without hesitation. "
Yang Dingtian asked, "Do you love him very much?"
"Before we Naga mate, there is no such thing as deep love," Queen Lan Qi said.
"But at least, he is the only male Naga that I have ever loved. Perhaps it sounds more natural to call him a man."
Yang Dingtian said, "He indeed didn't let you down or betray your feelings."
Queen Lan Qi said, "But it was right that we didn't marry. Once we did, his ambition might have changed my will, and we would end up repeating the mistakes of the ancient Naga and destroying the entire world.
You don't know, but once the Naga mate marries, not only does she give up her body and heart, but she also gives up half of her will.
The union of our Naga is a true and complete union.
It is as if the two of us have completely merged together and then divided into two again. "
…
In the following days, Queen Lan Qi and Yang Dingtian were inseparable. Every day, they would read books, play chess, play cards, and talk together.
Yang Dingtian had never had such a pure female friend. He didn't expect to meet one here.
He was also completely sure why the ancient Naga had given the heavy responsibility of sealing and defending the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion to Queen Lan Qi.
She was really absolutely peaceful and had almost no desires. She was pure and kind, but her willpower was absolutely firm. She was completely one-track minded and couldn't be changed.
Yang Dingtian tried his best to think of a way to leave this place while being intimate with Queen Lan Qi.
Until one day, The Demon King Wentian came again.
This time, his arrival was completely aboveboard. He appeared as the messenger of the Sea Snake descendant Naga Chief Bu Yikao and formally proposed to Queen Lan Qi.
Moreover, he sent an incomparably sumptuous gift.
Moreover, the news of the proposal had spread throughout the new Naga Empire.
It even woke up most of the Naga experts who were meditating.
For this, Yang Dingtian also saw the first court meeting of the New Naga Palace.
It was also the first time he saw the big shots of New Naga.
New Naga had a family system. After two Naga married, a family would be born.
Either male or female Naga would be the chief. They would give birth to nearly ten descendants, which were all the second-generation Naga of New Naga.
Then, the second-generation Naga would marry into a new family through the marriage of various families and give birth to the third-generation Naga.
Of course, even if this New Naga was the first-generation Naga, it couldn't be considered a true Demigod Naga. There was only one Demigod Naga in this world, and that was Dugu Aoshuang.
Now, New Naga was already in its fourth generation.
Of course, it wasn't that they couldn't continue to reproduce, but this so-called fourth-generation Naga was already quite weak. They didn't even look like humans anymore. They were even worse than the original faces of the Sea Snake Mermaid Clan.
This method of reproduction that was worse than the previous generation could not continue. Otherwise, the new Naga Empire would be finished.
But through the marriage of the fourth generation, New Naga had formed the power structure of dozens of large families and hundreds of small families.
The so-called Queen Lan Qi occupied the palace, but she didn't have much power.
…
At the court meeting, Yang Dingtian saw Queen Lan Qi in her royal robe for the first time. In the hall below stood hundreds of family chiefs.
The Demon King Wentian was the envoy. In the hall, in front of all the family chiefs, he formally proposed to Bu Yikao.
Without a doubt, this wasn't a proposal. This was a forced marriage. This was the final ultimatum, and also a showdown for Bu Yikao.
Peaceful means before resorting to force. First, propose marriage, then force the emperor to abdicate.
If Queen Lan Qi agreed to the marriage, then Bu Yikao was willing to wait and influence Queen Lan Qi through his partner's will to open the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion.
But if Queen Lan Qi didn't agree to the marriage, then Bu Yikao would personally come to the palace next time with thousands of troops.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian understood. When The Demon King Wentian gave Yang Dingtian the aphrodisiac bottle, he didn't care if it would work.
As long as Queen Lan Qi acted close to Yang Dingtian, it would be enough.
The reason why Bu Yikao didn't make a move was because of his love for Queen Lan Qi.
But now, Queen Lan Qi was behaving so intimately with Yang Dingtian. Of course, he was extremely jealous and had lost his last hope and patience. He was preparing to rebel and force Queen Lan Qi to hand over the control of the Scripture Depository.
The reason why The Demon King Wentian proposed was to make Bu Yikao completely selfish and make him rebel.
He knew that Queen Lan Qi would definitely refuse.
Therefore, he never thought of asking Yang Dingtian to help him open the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion or anything like that.
He didn't even want the things in the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion for himself. He wanted Naga to rise again and walk the old path of destroying the world, becoming a chess piece in his battle against the God of Chaos.
After hearing The Demon King Wentian's public proposal, Queen Lan Qi didn't leave any suspense and directly rejected Bu Yikao's proposal.
"Got it."
After receiving Queen Lan Qi's rejection, The Demon King Wentian bowed and said, "I'll report back to Lord Bu Yikao now."
Then, he turned and walked out.
All the Naga leaders present had solemn expressions, and their gazes changed drastically.
This was because the next Bu Yikao would bring thousands of troops.
New Naga was about to face its first civil war in history. The order of tens of thousands of years was about to be completely overturned.
