Sweet Desire! The Cold Lord God, Who Can Tease, Coax, and Act Coquettish. - Chap 1804
Shao Cheng’s perspective——
Ten years of life and death are so vague, I can’t forget them even if I don’t think about them.
A lonely grave thousands of miles away, with no one to express my sorrow.
Even if we meet, we won’t recognize each other, with dust on our faces and hair like frost.
Today, when I was flipping through the “Collection of Chinese Poems”, I accidentally saw these words. I lowered my eyes and was stunned for a long time.
It seemed as if through these three thin lines of words, I saw the old man who used to sit in the imperial mausoleum and drink alone.
To be precise, it should be an… old half-demon.
My name is Shao Cheng. I was brought to the palace by that old half-demon and raised by his side. Otherwise, a bastard like me, who is unloved by my father, mother, and brothers and sisters and kicked around, would never have the chance to be the emperor here.
Oh, I forgot to introduce the old half-demon, his name is Shao Linyuan, and he is my father.
However, five years ago he passed the throne to me and became the emperor emeritus.
Well, the emperor emeritus sounds like the most honorable and leisurely position in the world.
How many people envied him, thinking that he was tired of being an emperor and wanted to live a good life without being disturbed for a few years.
But at this time, he resolutely ran to the imperial mausoleum, lived in a tent with the royal guards, and kept vigil for his lover in the wind and sun.
This was within my expectations, because his hair turned white for his lover, and it turned completely white on the day his lover passed away.
However, her appearance has not changed at all over the years.
Because after his lover passed away, he went to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain and searched the secret room of the demon’s scripture library for a long time, almost emptying the demon’s scripture library, before he finally found a banned book that maintained its appearance.
It is said that if you practice it well, not only can you maintain your appearance, but you can also achieve immortality.
I find it ridiculous. Everything in the world, including birth, aging, sickness and death, has its own laws. Even monsters cannot violate them, let alone humans.
But he said that even if he died, he had to practice.
Because he and his lover had agreed to meet again in the next life, the longest they would have to wait was a thousand years.
He didn’t want to break his promise.
I also don’t want to see you with dust on your face and white hair when we meet again.
That would be too ugly, like an old monster teasing a child.
I couldn’t stop him, and I didn’t know what the harm was, so I just let him practice day after day. At least this way, he still had some hope of living.
But soon, I discovered that his desire to live was more than just that.
When he was in the palace, he still kept the habit of sleeping in Qiwu Palace every night, because he said that was where he and the little fox first met.
The little fox was reluctant to leave him, so he didn’t leave.
He slept there and met the little fox every night. He could even feel the little fox kissing and hugging him.
During that period, I thought he was crazy and mentally ill.
Fortunately, his magic skills improved day by day, and he became so powerful that he could control the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and create objects out of thin air. He was also very clear in handling memorials to the emperor, and all the officials were in submission to him.
I couldn’t bear to shatter his beautiful dream, so I never tried to dissuade him.
However, there is no secret of immortality in the world, and the result of changing one’s fate against the will of heaven is…
Short-lived.
He passed away last year.
Three months before his death, he returned to live in Qiwu Palace, saying that he wanted to visit all the places he and Jinjin had visited together when they were alive, and finally, stay in Qiwu Palace for a while.
When she left, she said to me with a smile, “I can see Jinjin now.”
I thought he was crazy, but I just agreed with him and said, “Yes, the little fox will wait for you in the future.”
“Put me in a crystal coffin.” He continued, “I used magic to protect it. When he comes, he doesn’t know which coffin… contains me…”
I thought my father was hopelessly crazy, but I still did what he wanted.
After all, it is a last wish, I will do my best to fulfill it.
There is only one thing that is magical.
Even after he was put into the coffin, his appearance remained unchanged. He was still so radiant, as if he was still in his twenties, and could make many young palace maids blush.
There was a smile on his face, as if he had made an appointment with someone and was going to meet someone soon.
After burying my father, I went to clean up the Qiwu Palace myself, followed by a few little demons who came to visit.
The moment the little demon entered the hall, he seemed to feel some kind of pressure. He bent his knees unconsciously and knelt down.
They bowed with fear and trepidation, saying that demons can sense demonic powers that are invisible to humans, and that their king once lived here for a long time.
I am very puzzled. Although my father’s lover was the Demon King, he has been dead for ten years. Even if there is pressure, it would not last until now.
I expressed my doubts.
But the little demons said, “The king will be here for at least seven days.”
At this moment, I suddenly remembered what my father once said to me, that when he slept in the Qiwu Palace, the little fox would come back to kiss him.
My heart was shocked and I suddenly woke up, as if my Ren and Du meridians were suddenly opened, and I had a great enlightenment.
Perhaps what my father said is true.
His little fox really has always been with him in Qiwu Palace, even in the form of a spirit.
Perhaps, they will really keep the appointment they promised to keep in the future.
The wind blew and messed up the pages of the book. I came to my senses in a daze, closed the book, and thought with my chin in my hand.
Father, what will the future be like?
Have you and the little fox reunited?
