Chapter 944 Ending 35
As a newly-minted Taoist couple, Zhao Xuan and Chu Ge are a pair that is unprecedented and will never be seen again.
One is a demon god, the other is a god of heaven. In the past, who would have dared to think that the two of them would become a couple?
Not to mention that both of them are men. Looking across the three realms, there are very few couples who dare to form a Taoist couple like them.
It's not that there are no examples of gay love in this world, but due to secular views and the gossip of relatives and friends, even if they truly love each other, very few can persevere to the end.
Of course, apart from their male identities, they also have the burdens on their shoulders. One is the demon god, with the entire demon clan behind him, and the other is the Heavenly Dao, a special existence that originally wandered outside the Three Realms...
She was dragged down to the mortal world by Zhao Xuan, and from then on their fates were tightly intertwined and could no longer be easily separated.
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye for them. Zhao Xuan made a divination and found out that Zhongli had to overcome a calamity, which was related to love.
Zhao Xuan considered himself a qualified friend. Since Zhongli's hexagram indicated that he would pass the test of love and his destined person would appear, it was just right for Zhongli, who was still single and had no partner, to pass the test...
Chu Ge listened to what Zhao Xuan said and did not comment on his words. There are many paths in this world that you need to walk on your own. No matter how good other people's experiences are, they are other people's paths, not your own.
He still would not interfere in the cause and effect of others. As for Zhao Xuan...ever since he and Chu Ge became Taoist partners, he never took action rashly.
Because he was worried that the law of cause and effect would come back upon Chu Ge. If it just made him feel uncomfortable, it would be fine, but if he wanted to drag Chu Ge into it, he would definitely think twice.
Zhao Xuan likes to move around, and from time to time he goes out to eat melon seeds and chat about gossip with those people from the underworld outside.
This resulted in him being able to hear a lot of gossip from the three realms even though he seldom left the underworld or Beiming Tower often.
For example...Yu Fang was forced into marriage. I heard that a demon woman had been pursuing him for a thousand years, and there seemed to be signs of her being pried open in recent years.
But after chasing someone for too long, one will inevitably start to feel tired. Just as the person being pried open has some ideas, the demon woman who was chasing him becomes discouraged and plans to request to guard the Wailing River and never return to the demon settlement.
Yu Fang turned around and chased after him.
Of course, this is just a rumor out there.
Later, Yu Fang came to Zhao Xuan with some wine and discussed this issue with him. His situation was somewhat similar to Zhao Xuan's before, but not exactly the same.
One is at a young age with a flamboyant personality. He cares more about his own cultivation than about enlightenment.
One is responsible for the rise and fall of the entire demon clan. In comparison, he has no time to care about who he loves and who he doesn’t love?
The demon clan is not a peaceful and law-abiding pure land. In the past one or two hundred years, the demon clan has quietly cultivated some ministers with slightly greater power, each with his own thoughts.
Gods and demons are actually the same, they all have their own selfish desires.
As the Demon Lord appointed by Zhao Xuan, Yu Fang was naturally able to suppress the dissatisfaction of all parties at first. Later... he became more and more skilled, and his ability to suppress it naturally became better and better.
But this is not the final outcome. The rise of a race is bound to have different voices. Some people want to be obedient subjects, while others want to replace it.
In recent years, two forces have been quietly pushing forward, intending to reignite the war between gods and demons, in order to weaken Yu Fang's power through war and place their people there.
The Demon Lord's Taoist companion may be a hot commodity in the eyes of others, but Yu Fang knows that this is not a hot commodity. Other demon forces will target them and use them as a pie for profit division.
Whoever is chosen for the position of Demon Queen will inevitably make the other party dissatisfied, and the demon woman pursuing Yu Fang is quite powerful, and can be ranked in the top ten among all the demon generals.
If such a person becomes the Demon Queen of Yufang, she will be a great help to him, and some demons with impure intentions will naturally oppose it.
Zhao Xuan felt a headache after listening to this. All these twists and turns... were not suitable for him.
It’s not that I can’t win, but I just don’t want to live such a tiring life, living in calculation and defense every day.
Chu Ge did not avoid them when the two of them were drinking and chatting. As a Taoist partner...he always kept a distance from people who were close to Zhao Xuan.
While keeping a distance, he was also afraid that Zhao Xuan might be seduced...
Afterwards, Zhao Xuan bullied Chu Ge and made a lot of fun of him, laughing at him.
But no matter how noisy it was, since Chu Ge wanted to watch it, Zhao Xuan just let him.
The first two times Yu Fang came, he was not very comfortable speaking in front of Chu Ge, but later, after a few drinks, he spoke his mind without any embarrassment.
Yu Fang once shouldered the heavy responsibility of restoring the entire demon clan. He had to guard against the Celestial Clan's comeback and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the demon clan soldiers.
During those years, he had never even considered getting married, let alone getting married.
I don’t know if those demons were inspired by the fact that Zhao Xuan and Chu Ge formed a Taoist couple, but many demon ministers stood up and expressed their hope that Yu Fang could choose the Demon Queen as soon as possible.
Zhao Xuan listened for a long time and couldn't help rubbing his ears. "Friend, you have said so much. I have a question that I especially want to ask you."
Yu Fang was half drunk and half awake, but he still did not forget to be respectful to Zhao Xuan. He almost dropped his wine glass in shock at his words, "...Sir, please speak."
"Having said all that, do you like her?"
"..."
"Don't consider so many external factors, just ask your own heart, do you like her? Are you willing to grow old with her?"
Yu Fang stared at his wine glass, as if he remembered something, and said in a complicated tone, "...The Demon Queen is not a popular person, and marrying me may not be a good thing."
Zhao Xuan raised his eyebrows, but did not comment on Yu Fang's almost self-deprecating words. Instead, he raised his head and took a big sip of wine.
Then he got to the point, "How do you know if it's good or not? Have you asked her? In other words, if you really have to face a woman you have no feelings for, or even hate, every day, are you really willing to do that?"
Well, I have to say that some people have flexible brains, but being too flexible doesn't seem to be a good thing.
The pros and cons are so clearly distinguished that one's own feelings are ignored.
As a complete outsider, Chu Ge just listened quietly without interrupting or paying attention to Yu Fang's expression.
Zhao Xuan personally feels that sometimes, whether it is humans or gods, they all like to think about problems in a very complicated way.
If you like it, you like it. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Why do you always have to go around in circles about such a simple thing?
"..."
These words stunned Yu Fang. He was silent for a long while, then bowed respectfully to the two of them and turned to leave.
Zhao Xuan touched his chin and watched thoughtfully in the direction where Yu Fang disappeared.
"Did I say anything wrong just now?"
Chu Ge shook his head, not thinking that there was anything wrong with what Zhao Xuan said.
Zhao Xuan groaned, "Never mind, it's hard to be a matchmaker, let's just go plant some flowers."
It is not easy to be a matchmaker, at least Zhao Xuan feels that he is not cut out for it.
He immediately silenced the person, turned around and left, and it was a good thing that the matchmaker didn't break the red string.
