Love Above All Chapter 174

Quan Shaoqing is the emperor of the Imperial Authority Realm, naturally commanding considerable influence across the land. The power behind him is the entire Imperial Authority Realm.

Although the people here are not as powerful as immortals, they possess strong cohesion and obedience.

They have recognized only the human emperor as their master throughout generations.

Lan Xi was very pleased with Quan Shaoqing’s performance these past days; at least he was diligently accompanying her and no longer avoiding her.

When she called him Ah Qing, he would respond, unlike their initial awkward meeting.

"Ah Qing, let me take you somewhere." Lan Xi held Quan Shaoqing’s hand and they quickly vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already in the Demon Realm.

Under the Snow Maple Tree, Lan Xi pushed open a wooden house.

The decor inside was still the same as it was two thousand years ago, even the position of the guqin that Ah Qing placed before leaving had not changed.

Lan Xi pressed Quan Shaoqing by the guqin table and patted his shoulder, saying, "Play a piece; I want to hear it."

Quan Shaoqing looked at the ancient-style guqin in front of him, and a sense of familiarity washed over him.

He placed his hands on the guqin and gently plucked a few strings.

The melodious and lingering sound of the guqin spread instantly.

Lan Xi happily rested her chin in her hands, waiting for him to play a complete piece while sitting opposite him.

However, she waited a long time.

Once the sound of the guqin rose, it vanished again.

Quan Shaoqing sat in front of the guqin table, unmoving for a long time.

"What’s wrong?" Lan Xi urged.

"I remembered; there are still some matters. I can’t delay any longer. Your Highness Lan Xi, you should return soon!" Quan Shaoqing stood up from the guqin table.

Lan Xi was slightly stunned. He was just fine a moment ago, why the sudden aloofness?

"Did I do something wrong again to upset you?" Lan Xi asked.

"No, it’s not that. Tomorrow is my fiancée Nie Shu’s birthday, and I haven’t prepared a gift for her yet." Quan Shaoqing said with a calm expression.

Upon hearing this, Lan Xi slowly retracted her hand from her sleeve, "You have a fiancée?"

Quan Shaoqing quickly bowed his head to explain: "Yes! The elders of my clan arranged the engagement for me many years ago."

"Who is she?" Lan Xi asked.

"Nie Shu, the little princess of the Phoenix Clan." Quan Shaoqing answered truthfully.

Lan Xi’s face turned pale.

She originally wanted to throw a tantrum and lock him here, forbidding him to leave.

But upon seeing the ancient guqin in front of her, she could no longer harbor such thoughts.

Mi Xi was right; in a past life, Ah Qing always lived under her halo.

He didn’t even dare to express his love for her.

Now that he’s reincarnated and has forgotten her, how could she hurt him like this?

"Go ahead!" Lan Xi said coldly, sitting expressionless at the guqin table.

She could keep him physically, but not his heart.

If Ah Qing truly loved her, he shouldn’t be fond of anyone else.

If he liked someone else, it meant he never truly loved her.

Quan Shaoqing slightly bowed and then turned and left with large strides.

Lan Xi clenched her fists, her fingers brushing the guqin, a hint of bitterness surfacing in her heart.

Times have changed; how can a broken mirror be restored?

Though he is Ah Qing...

Things are no longer as they were.

"Your Highness Lan Xi, care for a drink?" Gu Mo walked in holding two jars of wine.

Lan Xi glanced back at him and took a wine pot, saying, "What’s the point of drinking just the two of us? Let’s go to the Underworld King’s Mansion."

To be honest, her favorite was to sit on the viewing platform of the Underworld King’s Mansion, drinking under the moonlight.

It’s an ambiance that can’t be felt in the Demon Realm.

All the wine Bu Qiao had stored over the years was brought out.

Lan Xi took out some spirit fruits from the Immortal Realm from the Blood Jade, rare compared to coiled peaches, but still hard to find.

Bu Qiao looked, feeling it was passable.

Since they were eating and chatting.

"Sister Lan Xi, what are you planning to do in the future?" Xiao Gu asked.

Lan Xi shook her head, "I don’t know! Ah Qing is reincarnated and has forgotten me. He wants to marry someone else."

"The Imperial Power Clan is indeed a realm, and the emperor is of noble status. Naturally, he would marry an excellent woman of noble status as empress." Gu Mo said.

Lan Xi cast a sideways glance at him with a threatening gaze, "Are you saying that my qualities are insufficient, my status isn’t noble enough to marry him?"

Gu Mo shook his head hurriedly, "No, no, no, it’s that Your Highness Lan Xi’s status is too noble. You are the only immortal possessing divinity; you are a person of the future. There is no qualification for the human emperor to marry you."

"What if I insist on marrying him?" Lan Xi’s fingers tapped the wine pot with an exceptionally resolute tone.

Gu Mo chuckled, "Didn’t you say he already has a fiancée? It’s common for men to have multiple wives, especially for an emperor. Since the engagement was arranged from a young age, you can’t compete if you come late. If you insist on marrying, you could be a concubine."

Slam!

As Gu Mo spoke, Lan Xi slapped the table, inexplicably shattering several jars of wine.

"Me as a concubine? An absolute joke! This is the lone deity of the heavens. If I marry him as a concubine, where does that leave the dignity of my Goddess Palace? If he truly loves me, he ought to be wholeheartedly devoted, one pair for eternity!" Lan Xi’s heart ached at the thought.

Ah Qing, Ah Qing!

Is this the kind of love you have for me?

She even suspected he never liked her in the first place, only that she deluded herself.

Otherwise, when they could have been together, he left her alone.

Bu Qiao and Gu Mo exchanged a glance.

Bu Qiao shook his head, "Your Highness, why insist on marrying him?"

Lan Xi tilted her head back, took a sip of wine, feeling a bitter surge in her heart.

She wasn’t sure what to do now?

"In the worst case, bring him to the Goddess Palace and make him a live-in son-in-law, saving him from messing around outside." Gu Mo pounded the table indignantly.

Lan Xi waved her hand, "That won’t work, the forced melon is not sweet. Moreover, the Imperial Authority Realm respects the human emperor. Bringing him forcibly would pit us against the entire realm. If a war breaks between the Goddess Palace and the Imperial Authority Realm, how many innocent lives would be sacrificed."

"So are you really prepared to let go?" Bu Qiao asked again.

Lan Xi’s expression was intense, "How could that be, Ah Qing is mine. Even if he’s reincarnated, he’s still mine. I would never let him marry another woman."

"Do you have a way to break up the pair?" Gu Mo asked.

Lan Xi felt a headache, "I need to think about it well, but no way am I letting Ah Qing marry someone else."

This life, the next life, over and over again, he should only like her.

And she should only love Ah Qing.

Mi Xi found Lan Xi sitting outside the Caixia Pavilion, lost in thought alone.

"Senior Brother, Ah Qing wants to marry another woman. What should I do?" Lan Xi didn’t turn, but she knew he was there.

Mi Xi shook his fan with a smile, "Cool mix!"

Lan Xi turned to glare at him.

Mi Xi quickly laughed, "Just disrupt the wedding."

Lan Xi lowered her head and said nothing.

In the end, what she cared about was his attitude, not who he’s marrying.
