Chapter 1882 - 2067: The Grand Finale

The old Taoist turned his head, shook it at him, and the smile on his face seemed bitter yet had a vague sense of unexplainable loneliness and relief. He said earnestly, "Don’t come over. To destroy him, only it has the power to do so. Ling Chen, I am very happy that I encountered such a connection with you, a young one, even at my advanced age. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have specially sought you out to say goodbye during my travels, but all of this is no longer important. I have lived far too long, and life and death seem to make no difference anymore. Truly, alas, it’s too lonely, perhaps death is the real relief."

Upon hearing these words, Ling Chen was initially confused, then noticed that the other man had a seemingly ordinary stone in his hand, a stone Ling Chen had seen before—it was the meteorite.

"What is that?" Ling Gengqiu’s voice came from behind. However, no one answered his question.

"Ling Chen, all of this began because of me, so it should end with me. Goodbye!" With these words, the old Taoist suddenly took out an electric shock ball and raised it above his head along with the meteorite.

Seeing the other man’s actions, Ling Chen seemed to realize something and shouted urgently, "Elder, don’t!" However, as his voice fell, the old Taoist directly crushed the electric shock ball in his hand, and instantly, purple lightning descended from the sky, gathering around the two of them, emitting a dazzling light.

"Let me go, let me go, I don’t want to die yet!" In the bright purple light, Zhu Hong’s tone was full of fear and unease; evidently, he had already felt the genuine breath of death.

Boom!

As the light gathered to its limit, there was only a thunderous roar, and the world seemed to tremble. The location where the old Taoist and Zhu Hong were also exploded instantly, and the powerful waves spread out, knocking all the onlookers flying, with terrifying potency.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Ling Chen got up from the ground and quickly ran to the edge of the mountaintop. But there, it was empty, nothing remained, as in the previous violent explosion, both the old Taoist and Zhu Hong had been pulverized.

...

...

Looking at the gray cloth floating in the air, Ling Chen’s face was stiff, recalling the old Taoist’s last words, his heart was indescribably sad, and after a long pause, he sighed softly and murmured, "Elder, I’m really foolish. Only now do I finally understand, it was you all along. You are the one who completed the third-stage evolution earliest among the guardian tribe, so you said that all of this began because of you, and should end with you! Although you have died, I know you are truly relieved."

"Immortality is not such a wonderful thing after all..."

...

Two months later.

East Sea City.

"Chen, you’re really handsome today."

Jiang Hao, Zhao Zhengxiong, Hu Fei, and Tong Zhentian, among others, gathered in the newly rebuilt Dragon Tiger Hall. At this moment, Ling Chen was dressed in a sharp suit, holding a bouquet, with a beaming smile on his face.

"Ling Chen, today’s your big day, stay focused." Ling Kun patted his son’s shoulder, laughing.

"Chen, it’s about time, should we get going?"

"Let’s go, don’t keep the bride waiting too long."

Soon after, a luxurious convoy departed from Dragon Tiger Hall, heading directly to Wealthy Manor. Sitting inside the wedding car, Ling Chen watched the endless stream of traffic through the window, a slight curve on his lips.

Since the battle with Qiu Nanshan that night, two months had passed. After encountering so many hardships, today he would finally marry Nanrong Wanqing.

"Chen, who do you think the bridesmaid is today?" Jiang Hao asked cheerfully.

Zhao Zhengxiong teased, "Go on, you already have a girlfriend, and still want to hit on the bridesmaid."

Ling Chen shrugged and said, "Don’t ask me, I really don’t know. Wanqing said she wants to surprise me." According to wedding customs, the groom and bride can’t meet two days before the wedding; they can only communicate via phone. However, from Nanrong Hao, Ling Chen learned that Nanrong Wanqing had been mysteriously doing something over the last few days.

Before they knew it, the convoy had arrived at the entrance to the Nanrong Family.

Getting out of the car, surrounded by friends and family, Ling Chen held the flowers and walked straight into the villa where Nanrong Wanqing lived. As soon as he stepped inside, a faint aroma brushed past his face. Ling Chen looked closely and saw several beautiful ladies standing side by side at the foot of the stairs.

Zhu Xiaozhu, porridge girl?

Ling Chen was slightly taken aback and looked one by one, not just Zhu Xiaozhu and porridge girl, but also Tang Shiyun, Xia Mutong, Liu Xiyao. Each was wearing a bridesmaid dress, all with exceptional figures and beauty comparable to goddesses, lined up in a row, showing indescribable elegance and beauty, captivating countless passersby.

Is this the surprise Nanrong Wanqing mentioned? Ling Chen was thoroughly stunned and enchanted!

"Future brother-in-law."

Su Lin walked over with a smile, grabbing his arm, saying, "My sister said, if you want to go upstairs to welcome the bride, you must first pass the bridesmaid challenge."

Ling Chen cleared his throat and asked, "How do I pass?"

"Actually, it’s simple; as long as you kiss each one, they’ll let you go upstairs."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but cheer, "Chen, your wife really knows you well; this is your forte. Don’t just stand there, go ahead!"

Amid everyone’s gentle urging, Ling Chen walked to the front of the women with a sheepish look, somewhat bewildered.

"Chen, hurry up and kiss, don’t delay the time to welcome the bride."

"This... doesn’t seem right?" Ling Chen said awkwardly. He really didn’t understand Nanrong Wanqing’s meaning, arranging for them to be bridesmaids and even had him kiss them, could this be testing him? Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.

Seeing Ling Chen’s indecisive appearance, Nanrong Hao came close, chuckling, "Chen, you just boldly kiss them, it’s the benefit my sister arranged for you."

Benefit? For real?

Ling Chen was puzzled.

Hesitating for a moment, Ling Chen, yielding to the cheers around him, stepped up to Zhu Xiaozhu. She gently bit her lip, head lowered, blushing, not daring to look directly at his eyes.

Looking at Zhu Xiaozhu before him, Ling Chen suddenly felt a sense of guilt and remorse. If this kiss could make amends, he was willing to do so.

Feeling the warmth on her cheek, Zhu Xiaozhu gently lifted her head, revealing a flower-like smile, softly saying, "Thank you!"

Thank you?

What does this mean? Ling Chen was puzzled.

Before long, each of the four girls’ faces bore Ling Chen’s lipstick mark. After passing the checkpoint, Ling Chen finally entered Nanrong Wanqing’s room smoothly.

Seeing Nanrong Wanqing sitting elegantly on the bed wearing a white wedding dress, as if a fairy descending from heaven, Ling Chen couldn’t contain his inner joy, hurried forward and handed over the bouquet.

"Wasn’t that fun just now?" Nanrong Wanqing asked with a smile, her star-like eyes flashing with mischievousness.

Ling Chen laughed it off, smoothly changing the subject, "Let’s go downstairs first, don’t keep everyone waiting."

"Fortunately, you kissed them, otherwise you’d regret it later."

"Why?"

"I know you care for them in your heart. If you hadn’t kissed them just now, it would mean you were too hypocritical and didn’t truly like them, then I wouldn’t allow you to associate with them in the future."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s eyes brightened and he tested, "So... since I kissed them?"

Nanrong Wanqing coquettishly gave him a look, with an alluring laugh, "You can guess for yourself."
