Chapter 13 Birthday Wish
After making up, Xie Fei released Wen Ruo and Xie Yu from the dungeon.
Wen Ruo came to bid me farewell before leaving. She said she would go to Qi with Xie Yu.
I wished her a smooth journey.
Then, it was Xie Fei's nineteenth birthday. I was busy every day.
Darkening Value remaining 100. Host, you must have worked hard.
"I didn't do it to lower the Darkening Value."
I sighed.
Then why?
I snorted lightly. "You, a System, wouldn't understand."
Haha.
I felt like it was mocking me.
On the night of the longevity celebration, I excitedly pulled Xie Fei to the highest star-picking tower in the palace.
The next moment, colorful fireworks streaked across the night sky like shooting stars, brilliant and dazzling, beautiful beyond words.
"Seven years ago, I said there would also be fireworks set off for Your Highness in the future."
The Xie Fei then had not believed it, because no one had celebrated his birth and no one would ever be happy for him.
He had not even dared to hope for a bowl of long life noodles, let alone fireworks.
" Now you are no longer the Eighth Prince from the Cold Palace back then. You are the Emperor revered by all the people, and everyone is happy for your birth."
I smiled brightly and looked at Xie Fei.
His beautiful eyes reflected the glow, like the most beautiful dream.
He was the young man I had raised with my own hands. The man I loved most.
"I want to thank all of this for letting me meet you.
Xie Fei, happy birthday."
The love flowed silently between us.
When our eyes met, a sudden electronic sound rang out.
Target character's Darkening Value: 0. Congratulations, host, task completed!
The next instant, Xie Fei pulled me into his arms tightly, his voice low and hoarse. "Are you leaving?"
He had agreed to be a Wise Ruler and would not ask to die again. The task was complete.
I had no reason left to stay.
Was I leaving?
I was about to answer when a sudden voice cut in—
"Your Majesty! Urgent report!"
