Chapter 1598: Chapter 1228: Longevity Heaven, Pact of Marriage!

"I am merciful and compassionate, sparing your life for now, but... hehe..." Gu Changsheng sneered, waving her sleeve as she turned and sat sideways in her seat, looking at Borjigin Lvchi, who was slumped on the ground. She spoke with a smile, "However, the title of the mightiest warrior of Northern Mongolia might need a new owner! Borjigin Lvchi, from now on, you, a cripple with all your bones shattered, will spend your days in a wheelchair..."

If Borjigin Lvchi had not persistently provoked her, Gu Changsheng might have chosen to endure for the sake of the bigger picture!

But his provocations were like adding fuel to the fire!

The death of Ning Er was already an untouchable pain in Gu Changsheng’s heart. To this day, each thought of it filled her with indescribable guilt. For Borjigin Lvchi to appear before her at this moment was itself a provocation, compounded by his provocative words, his fearless demeanor, his reckless remarks — this was undoubtedly forcing Gu Changsheng to take action!

Living, sometimes, can be more painful than dying!

Because in this world, there is a term called ’worse than death’!

And Gu Changsheng has never been a benevolent soul. In the past, even with Sima Liancheng, the Pride of Heaven’s Son, she showed no mercy, let alone a boorish brute like Borjigin Lvchi?

Expecting Gu Changsheng to show mercy? That’s pure delusion!

"You... Gu Changsheng, aren’t you afraid that the King of Northern Mongolia will be in danger? Aren’t you afraid Borjigin Nian will hate you for a lifetime... you..." Borjigin Lvchi, lying on the ground, felt a chill in his heart upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words. The pain of his shattered bones pierced deep, and his face was full of hatred. He spoke through gritted teeth, "Gu Changsheng, you will regret this! You will definitely regret this!"

"Regret? I, Gu Changsheng, will never look back in life. No matter the grave mistakes or bitter consequences, I will swallow them without hesitation!" Gu Changsheng responded nonchalantly, "I’m waiting for you to make me regret it! Borjigin Lvchi, within your lifetime!"

"Haha... haha... Gu Changsheng, don’t be so arrogant! You will regret making me a cripple! You will surely regret it!" Hearing this, Borjigin Lvchi’s face contorted with despair, his eyes shifted from Gu Changsheng to Borjigin Nian, speaking with gritted teeth, "Princess Nian! Sister Nian! Don’t you wish for Northern Mongolia’s peace, to rescue your Father King from the army?"

Borjigin Nian, upon hearing, bowed her head immediately, looking at Borjigin Lvchi, her eyes filled with both familiarity and an overwhelming strangeness.

"Then you must remember! Remember this woman, Gu Changsheng! It was she who destroyed your lifelong happiness!" With his bones completely powerless, Borjigin Lvchi raised his only intact hand, pointing fiercely at Gu Changsheng, with a face full of hatred.

Gu Changsheng, upon hearing, furrowed her eyebrows slightly.

Zhou Mu straightened up a bit, as he truly cared about his Little Junior Sister!

The friendship of fellow disciples, the childhood bond; Zhou Mu showed mercy to Northern Mongolia several times, never failing to consider Borjigin Nian’s feelings...

Yet Borjigin Lvchi’s words related to Borjigin Nian’s lifelong happiness...

"Borjigin Lvchi, what exactly are you talking about?" Looking at the wretched man on the ground, Borjigin Nian anxiously asked, "What plan do you have coming here this time? Speak!"

"Haha..." Borjigin Lvchi laughed sinisterly at her words, looking at Borjigin Nian, he smirked wickedly, "Isn’t it a bit too late to ask this? Borjigin Nian, from now on, Gu Changsheng is your biggest enemy! And you, haha... the Khan King has promised you to me as my wife; Borjigin Nian, even if I become worthless, I will be the future ruler of Northern Mongolia, and you—whether I go to hell or not—you won’t have it easy! Even if I live in misery, I want you to accompany me!"

"No! It’s impossible!" Hearing this, Borjigin Nian staggered back two steps in panic, her face struck like thunder, shaking her head in mute denial, "It’s impossible! My Father King won’t promise me to you! You are a rebellious subject; how could my Father King promise me to you! Borjigin Lvchi, you’re talking nonsense! This isn’t true!"

Upon hearing, Borjigin Lvchi sneered and raised the corners of his mouth, speaking sharply, "True or false, what does it matter? Aren’t you trying to rescue your Father King? To save him from a violent death, you can only marry me! Accompany me to hell! Borjigin Nian, three days, I’ll give you three days, after which you have no choice but to return with me to Northern Mongolia! As for the Southern Emperor..."

Saying this, Borjigin Lvchi harshly turned to look at Gu Changsheng, speaking through clenched teeth, "Southern Emperor, aren’t you very sentimental and righteous? Aren’t you trying to help Borjigin Nian through Northern Mongolia’s crisis? Right now, you’ve crippled her man; she may not even consider you a friend. I want to see if you’ll appear at our wedding celebration! Haha..."

With this, Borjigin Lvchi laughed.

And Gu Changsheng’s face instantly turned pitch black!

Apart from Gu Changsheng, everyone present looked worriedly at Borjigin Nian!

Especially Yue Xilou, when Borjigin Lvchi mentioned marrying Borjigin Nian, Yue Xilou immediately stood up from his chair, his face, beautiful beyond demonic, full of shock!

On the ground, Borjigin Lvchi looked at the shocked crowd, his ferocious face revealing a grim smile, and shouted towards the door of the Flower Hall, "Come on! Let’s go!"

The Northern Mongolian envoys, frightened by Gu Changsheng into scattered retreat, heard Borjigin Lvchi’s words and immediately crowded in, looking at Gu Changsheng with deep apprehension in their eyes. They lifted Borjigin Lvchi, who was like a puddle of mud on the ground, and hurriedly fled out of the Flower Hall.

"Borjigin Nian, I’m waiting for you to make a lifelong marriage alliance with me in front of Longevity Heaven! In three days, I’ll come to take you away! Haha..."

As he was being carried to the door of the Flower Hall, Borjigin Lvchi turned back and spoke ferociously to the still dazed Borjigin Nian.

Borjigin Nian staggered immediately upon hearing this, barely retreating two steps, staring in panic at the departing backs of Borjigin Lvchi’s group, muttering dazedly, "Longevity Heaven... Longevity Heaven..."

The Northern Mongolian people devoutly believe in Longevity Heaven!

A marriage alliance before Longevity Heaven means a lifetime commitment that cannot be altered. Borjigin Nian, alive, would be Borjigin Lvchi’s person; if Borjigin Lvchi died, she would become his relic, inherited by his brothers and offspring...

To Borjigin Nian, Longevity Heaven is faith...

"Borjigin Nian, I..."

Gu Changsheng watched the somewhat absent-minded Borjigin Nian, hesitated and walked over, the fierce aura from before was gone, her bright little face full of difficulty.

In her rage, she disabled Borjigin Lvchi without a doubt, but she hadn’t expected Borjigin Lvchi to bring such news!

Let Borjigin Nian marry Borjigin Lvchi?

Impossible!

Regardless of Borjigin Lvchi having been disabled by her and now a cripple, even if he were intact, Gu Changsheng would never allow Borjigin Nian to marry that damn person!

But now, everything seems to have fallen into a dilemma where there’s no way forward or back. Borjigin Lvchi’s words inside and outside all used Borjigin Nian’s Father King as a threat...

Gu Changsheng wasn’t worried Borjigin Nian would blame her for taking action against Borjigin Lvchi. She was worried that Borjigin Nian, being extremely filial, might agree to the marriage alliance to protect her Father King!

This...

"Gu Changsheng..." Borjigin Nian heard Gu Changsheng’s voice, came out of her daze, and with a hint of realization in her deep eyes, said, "Gu Changsheng, my Father King would never betroth me to Borjigin Lvchi. In fact, my Father King hopes I find a Central Plains husband instead. That way, I wouldn’t have to set a marriage alliance before Longevity Heaven, wouldn’t become a man’s appendage, wouldn’t become a plaything-like existence..."

"Borjigin Nian! We won’t marry! We won’t marry! We definitely have other ways to enter Northern Mongolia, to sneak into the Royal City and rescue your Father King! Borjigin Nian, we won’t marry Borjigin Lvchi under the witness of Longevity Heaven, we’ll think of another way!" Gu Changsheng naturally deeply understood what Longevity Heaven meant to the Northern Mongolian people, hearing Borjigin Nian say this, immediately spoke.

"Indeed, silly girl, if you don’t want to marry, don’t marry. There’s no need to make it so difficult. Marriage originally emphasized mutual consent, a twisted melon isn’t sweet, you can’t act confused!" Medicine Immortal Old Man heard and also followed up with comforting words.

"Little Junior Sister, we’ll think of another method!" Zhou Mu was not a person of many words, but this sentence clearly showed his stance; he also disagreed with Borjigin Nian being coerced by Borjigin Lvchi into accepting the marriage alliance!

"Crazy girl, you..." Yue Xilou looked at Borjigin Nian, her beauty surpassing that of a demon’s face, filled with struggle, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say...

Borjigin Nian heard Yue Xilou’s voice, turned her head, her deep eyes, with Foreign Tribe’s features, looked deeply at Yue Xilou for a moment, then lifted her steps and walked out of the Flower Hall, "I want to be alone for a while, don’t worry about me, I’m fine..."

Speaking, Borjigin Nian slowly walked out.

Gu Changsheng and the others stepped forward anxiously, but upon hearing her words, could only stomp their feet and stop.

Gu Changsheng looked at Borjigin Nian’s dejected back, stomped her feet, and spoke with regret, "If I had known Borjigin Lvchi had this plan, I shouldn’t have..."
