Chapter 1121: Chapter 1120 Ending (Part 1) Chapter 1121: Chapter 1120 Ending (Part 1) “Seeking me? For what matter?”

Wuxin turned around, asking indolently.

“Feigning ignorance?”

Liu Sisi waved her hand to dismiss everyone around her, then casually took a seat at the edge of a large rock, “I know my coming here is quite rude, but Niuniu is my most beloved daughter, and I cannot just watch her suffer.”

Wuxin suddenly stood up, looking down imposingly at Liu Sisi who sat at the edge of the rock.

“Does the Princess think that following me, the divine doctor, is suffering for Niuniu?”

“Name not righteous, words do not follow! She is your apprentice, you always say everything is for her good, but isn’t your approach harming her?”

Liu Sisi spoke without the slightest hint of affection.

“Apprentice? Ha! That is merely your own assumption.”

Wuxin flicked his sleeve and turned his back to her, “I, the divine doctor, have only ever said that I would teach Niuniu medical skills. When have I said I would take her as my apprentice? Here in Shenlong Valley, there are traditions for accepting disciples–performing ceremonies with burning incense and praying, reporting to the seniors in the sect. You might as well ask her, has she ever gone through these ceremonies?”

“So it turns out that all this time, my Niuniu has been merely a guest in Shenlong Valley.”

Liu Sisi’s anger flared, eyes narrowing into a sharp glare, “Since that is the case, I won’t presume to trouble the divine doctor any longer! From today onwards, my Niuniu will have nothing to do with Shenlong Valley; we sever all ties of gratitude and duty! The divine doctor can do as he pleases!”

Having said this, Liu Sisi turned to leave!

Even if Liu Sisi had thousands of daughters who were unwed, she would never be one to grovel in desperation!

“Tsk, tsk! Niuniu is all grown up already, and you still haven’t changed that foul temper one bit.”

From behind her, Wuxin’s voice carried with it a hint of astonishment and resignation, “Speaking of which, you and your daughter are quite similar on this point; you like to hear only half of what others say before walking away. Especially that little blockhead, her head is so thick, she still hasn’t caught on, and has made me, the Young Master, suffer no end of troubles.”

These words finally made Liu Sisi halt in her tracks, yet she did not turn around.

Wuxin took a few steps forward, “I, Young Master Wuxin, have never treated Niuniu as an apprentice because–from the moment I first saw her, I knew that she was the person I, Wuxin, have been waiting for my entire life! She is the wife I will cherish for a lifetime!”

Liu Sisi turned around swiftly!

Her eyes shot a piercing stare straight at him.

Wuxin stood his ground with a serious demeanor, his gaze not evading in the slightest, “Niuniu is mine, whether in the past, the present, or the future, she belongs to me alone! If she wants to study medicine, I will teach her. If she wants to save people, I have plenty of patients for her. If she wishes to wander and see the world, I will accompany her. Whatever she desires, even if it’s the stars in the sky, even at the expense of everything, I will find them for her!”

“What if, Niuniu wants to become the ruler of Great Xia?”

Liu Sisi’s eyes blazed, suddenly speaking up.

Young Master Wuxin abruptly stopped talking, narrowing his eyes as he scrutinized Liu Sisi for a while, seeing seriousness and determination in her eyes.

He suddenly laughed!

“If that’s what Niuniu wishes, a mere Xia Dynasty, why not give it to her as a plaything?”

Liu Sisi silently watched him for a long while, then turned and left! Her steps were lighter as she departed!

“Remember the words you say now!”

Does Niuniu want Great Xia?

Liu Sisi had already understood from the sparkle in Niuniu’s eyes whenever she spoke of politics and current affairs!

“`
However, she would naturally go and ask for her opinion.

“Remember this sentence you are saying now!”

What seemed like a simple sentence weighed heavily, something Young Master Wuxin only understood much later.

Watching Liu Sisi’s retreating back, Young Master Wuxin also breathed a sigh of relief!

This should mean no more disturbances for them.

He slightly turned his head and, looking at the small woman hiding in the shadows, seemed to see her frowning in thought again, his lips curving into an indulgent smile.

From that day on, Liu Sisi entrusted the power to command and move the troops to Nan Tianzong and Young Master Wuxin, while she devoted herself to arranging the affairs that followed Di Yelei’s demise.

Ye Lei had been “missing” for over a year, and although everyone believed he was no longer of this world, Liu Sisi still held onto hope.

She felt as if Ye Lei was omnipresent.

Even the air that brushed past her seemed to carry his unique aura.

Nonetheless, she placed the few personal items and a couple of weapons Ye Lei had left behind into an empty coffin, set up an unnamed plaque, and provided a place for everyone to mourn.

Once these matters concluded, she planned to transport the empty coffin back to the capital.

Leaves must return to their roots, and when the autumn winds grow harsh, that will be the day they set off for home.

As for now, every morning she would leave the house to pick flowers from the barren Gobi Desert behind the military tents, forming them into a bouquet, then return to his side, meticulously cleaning and chatting with him. In the afternoon, she would rest for a while, chatting with Chou Chou, Niuniu, and sometimes Nan Tianzong or Marquis Yongwu would come over. Come evening, she would sleep soundly on the soft bed beside the empty coffin.

The cycle repeated.

Gradually, the people around her seemed to grow busier! Conversely, their visits became less frequent.

Especially Niuniu, to whom the elder ministers who sought refuge were giving a force-feed education. And if too much time passed, a certain overly protective and tyrannical man would swoop in to rescue Niuniu, then the two would vanish without a trace, sometimes for half a day.

In the beginning, people would come to Liu Sisi to complain, but as the days passed, they realized that although she verbally agreed, she did not actually stop Young Master Wuxin’s actions; they had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

Fortunately, Niuniu was intelligent, making rapid progress in learning the art of governance, possessing a natural kingly aura.

The wild grass on the hill slowly yellowed, and the wildflowers in the mountains gradually withered.

As the foliage began to die, exhilarating news finally came from the capital.

“Princess! Great news, great news! We’ve taken the capital, stormed into the main hall, and found Princess Lin who was imprisoned alone in the dungeon beneath it! Princess, we’ve found her!”

The soldier who came to report trembled with excitement, barely containing himself.

Liu Sisi relaxed completely!

“Princess! We won a complete victory, and Young Master Nan has ordered us to welcome the Princess to the palace.”

“Let’s go!”

Liu Sisi was overjoyed!

With a casual wave of her hand, the day had finally come.

The ruler had hanged himself as soon as the city walls were breached. Princess Lin was rescued but was severely injured and barely clinging to life. She mustered the strength to hold the coronation ceremony for Niuniu. She then decreed that Nan Tianzong assist Niuniu, changed the state title to “Tianyou,” and thus began the First Year of Era Tianyou, marking the start of Great Xia’s longest “Tianyou Governance,” an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity where the streets were safe and the people honest.

Liu Sisi also went to witness Niuniu’s coronation, the most crucial moment.
