PeiSui You Deserve To Be Loved

Seeking Help

Xie Lian

"Why are you here cousin"? "Like I said we need to talk". "About what exactly? It's clear you still hate me for everything I've done". "That's not why I'm here". "Then why". He placed one leg over the other while leaning back on his throne.

"Because I need your help with Jun Wu, I want you to take off the cursed shackle from around my neck". "Why not get your San Long to do that"? "Because I don't want him involved. Jun Wu destroyed our kingdom because of me, he's my responsibility and my problem to solve not anyone else's".

He looked at me unsure. "What's in it for me"? "You get to do whatever you want to me, I'll have He Xuan keep Hua Cheng busy so he doesn't get involved". "You'd do that for me"? "All I care about is stopping Jun Wu".

He said nothing as he stood up and made his way over to me. Ryuoe and E Ming watched him closely as he lifted his hand placing it on my neck and unlocking it. I took in a fresh breath of air immediately before placing my hand around my neck and gently messaging it.

"Master". Ryuoe called out. "I'm fine, it's just been a while since I've been able to breathe normally, now let's go, E Ming head home so San Long doesn't get suspicious".

I headed there as fast as I could. I didn't give a dam if he was busy with work or in a meeting, I was determined to confront him and that's exactly what I planned on doing.

Ling Wen said nothing as I made my way outside to the garden where he was and shot a blast of light at him which he avoided. "I see you've regained your powers Xianle".

"Tell me why you did it. Tell me why you had my home destroyed and forced me into years of suffering"! He turned around to face me. "I told you not to go down there. Xianle was no longer your responsibility, it was up to your parents to keep their kingdom safe not you".

"Xianle will always be my home". "That's the problem right there. An emperor can't have attachments to his past. He needs to be focused on the new subjects he has and do what's best for them regardless if they agree or not. Everything I have done has been for you. I'll need a successor one day and that someone is you".

"You're wrong, an emperor doesn't do things he knows will hurt his subjects. An emperor doesn't rape his subjects, force them into relationships with their toxic ex or punish them for wanting to do what's right"! "It's clear we'll never see eye to eye on things". He shot a blast of light at me but I managed to evade it quickly.

His eyes stayed locked on me as he breathed out a black fog but Ryuoe managed to quickly wrap around my nose and mouth shielding me from it. Swirling my finger around I managed to create a a strong gust of wind that blew the fog away and replaced it with bolts of lightning that went after him.

He countered waving his hand slowly and getting rid of them before aiming bombs of poisonous sludge at me. I countered by grabbing Fangxin and slicing through all of them.

"This is exactly what I meant. Your power is just as strong as mine, there's nothing you won't be able to do once you're my apprentice". I glared at him. "I will become the next emperor make no mistake of that but it will have nothing to do with you"!

Lightning surrounded FangXin as I charged at him. He grabbed me by my arm but I managed to kick him away from me and used the force to jump mid-air. He created a gust of wind that blew me back but I managed to create my own that cushioned my back and head from the hit.

"Master if you don't want Hua Cheng involved in this I suggest finishing it now, he's on his way with E Ming"

"Understood"

Taking in a deep breath I shot out a blast of electricity that pierced the middle of his chest before creating a blast of icy wind to freeze him and sending out another blast of electricity to shatter the ice into millions of pieces.

"Gege"! I turned to watch as San Long ran over towards me. "Why wouldn't you wait for me? Who even took your shackle off of you". His eyes were filled with worry. "Qi Rong did and I didn't tell you because this was my battle to fight, not anyone else". I hugged him. "Everything's finally over".

Five Years later

"Papa! Papa"! I smiled as I heard my daughter's voice call out to me along with the sound of small feet running. I turned around and held her as she jumped in my arms and hugged my neck.

After Xie Lian became emperor I found out I was pregnant with Ming Jing and thankfully she was for Ming Guang. It wasn't just us however, Qingxuan has a little girl with He Xuan and his majesty the Emperor has a few kids of his own with Hua Cheng as well as Feng Xin and Mu Qing.

"Hi, baby". "Daddy and I made cookies, want some"? "I would love your homemade cookies". I nuzzled her nose and she giggled as I headed inside with her. "Hi, my love". Ming Guang said chewing on a cookie, I couldn't help but smile. "Thank you for everything".
