Hey, wait a minute, does this female red dragon have any history of romantic affairs? If she does... dude, you're a little green with envy.
Of course, these were just casual thoughts in his mind, after all, he knew nothing about the habits of "dragons" in this world.
"Alright, sister, tell everyone your choice and bring this drama to a close."
A drama, that's how Chang Yan would describe this wedding.
So, what will Chang Xueyue choose?
Will he choose Ning Haocang, who falls in love with her at first sight and is driven to anger by her, or Wei Jiaxing, who has good parents, in order to save the Chang family?
Come on, make a choice: love or family? It's a tough decision.
"I, I..."
"Snow Moon!"
Ning Haocang shouted the name of the person he loved.
"Little Moon!"
Grandpa Chang also called out his granddaughter's name.
"Please don't influence the protagonist's judgment, you two."
He kindly reminded the two of something, hoping that this drama would have the purest possible ending.
"I, I..."
Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry."
"I choose—"
(Based on my poll in the group, family: 3, romantic love: 1)
"Wei Jiaxing".
After making the final decision, Chang Xueyue closed her eyes to avoid seeing Ning Haocang's face.
"—"
As if struck by lightning, Ning Haocang stood frozen in place...
After a long while, he smiled bitterly and offered his blessing:
"Haha, my first marriage proposal ever got rejected, I'm a little disappointed. Oh, by the way, I wish you happiness..."
The wedding ring fell limply from his hand. Even when facing the Lady of Ashes, he hadn't let the ring fall to the ground, but now...
He staggered past Lady Ash and Chang Yan, then carried the unconscious Li Jun on his back and left the place.
Chapter 214 Magic Book
(Double update...so tired, lol...)
----------
The play has come to an end.
Between family and love, Chang Xueyue chose family.
However, love played a part too, after all, she and Wei Jiaxing were childhood sweethearts, and he had even pursued her before.
The victory of childhood sweethearts.
After being treated by Lady Ash, Wei Jiaxing slowly woke up, and the engagement ceremony continued.
"Grandpa, I'm quite curious about the spell Third Uncle used just now. It wasn't a regular spell, was it?" Also, it seems that Eldest Uncle possesses extraordinary powers, doesn't he?
After the engagement, Chang Yan approached the old man and asked him her question.
When Lady Ash unleashed her dragon might just now, he sensed that several of his elders possessed extraordinary powers.
Since they both possess extraordinary powers, they should definitely ask the old man, since only he and the old man were unaffected by the dragon's might just now.
"Yes, it's a strange magic book I found a while ago. The text on it is all in Latin. It took me a lot of time and money to translate it. It contains a lot of strange knowledge, including spells, rituals, and alchemy."
The old man paused for a moment, then continued:
"However, these things all require a special kind of magic, which is converted from life force. Combined with special meditation methods, special potions, and rituals, this magic can be stored in the body. In order not to affect your development, I did not let you younger generation learn it. Of course, since women are all going to get married, they will not learn it unless there are special circumstances. Don't say I am sexist, but this magic book is the foundation of my Chang family, so I have to be careful."
"I understand that without extraordinary power in this world, it's easy for someone else to easily take over your entire life's wealth."
Chang Yan nodded, indicating his understanding.
Just like a person with superpowers, they can directly hypnotize the chairmen and shareholders of some companies, easily seize other people's property, and make the victims obey their every command. Extraordinary power is simply a cheat code for life.
The "Brain Command Technique" that Chang Wuming just used is a terrifying spell. It directly commands your brain, forcibly controls you, and makes you sign certain contracts or jump off a building. Tsk tsk tsk, you did it voluntarily, so what does it have to do with me?
"Well, now that you're so powerful, it's fine to let you see this book. But remember, don't share it with anyone else."
The old man simply told Chang Yan to look at the magic book. Since Chang Yan asked about it, he must have been interested in the magic book. Anyway, they were all family members, so why not take a look and see if it was of any use?
Most importantly, he couldn't beat his own grandson...
I've completely lost face...
Previously in the auditorium, he used his special vision to observe Chang Yan from another perspective.
Then he saw a horrifying sight.
In that world teeming with flesh and tentacles, a colossal being composed of shadows and covered in eyes stood in the small chapel. The holy crosses within those eyes shone with a radiance like the sun, yet this did not obstruct its view of the other scenes.
A colossal entity, comparable to a skyscraper, stood within this small auditorium—
This is completely unreasonable!
This doesn't make sense!
—That's wrong, wrong, it doesn't exist!
But that's why it exists...
—This is true, this exists, accept it...
Come, feel the Lord's mercy...
Years of experience exploring mysterious realms (and courting death) made Old Master Chang stop thinking altogether. Ignoring the pleas of his own brain, he directly shut down the vision of this other dimension.
It is this point that leads him to suspect that his grandson has long since become a "foreign creature" in human skin.
Just now, he had been using magic to erase his memories, fearing that those memories would continue to corrupt him—a lesson he had learned from a painful experience he had once paid.
This kind of memory must never be preserved.
"Don't worry, it's just an observation. After all, it's my first time seeing a magic book."
Yes, I was just observing.
After all, the things in my head are quite terrifying.
Or rather, I myself am already terrifying.
Then Chang Yan felt like his face had been slapped and was very swollen—
This isn't some kind of magic book, it's a damn ritual book! It's a book for worshipping the Outer God Yog-Sothoth! Chang Yan was so scared he almost threw the book away.
Good heavens, sir, didn't you know how this book you found fell to the ground? Shouldn't these kinds of ritual books be alive? How did you, an ordinary person, manage to find this book in the first place?
Yog-Sothoth is one of the three Primal Gods, the ruler of time and space. He is omniscient and omnipotent, and is connected to all time and spacetime. Yog-Sothoth resides outside the spacetime continuum; it is generally believed that it does not exist in this universe or this dimension, and is not bound by time and space.
Its shape resembles a cluster of billions of radiant spheres, which is why it is jokingly referred to as a bubble.
Putting aside this big shot, just one spell recorded in this book made Chang Yan feel an urge to destroy the book.
—Summon/send away Yog-Sothoth!
Holy crap, is the person who wrote this book crazy?!
"Hey old man, you haven't used this spell before, have you?"
Terrified, Chang Yan quickly asked the old man.
“I dare not use this. Every time I see the name Yog Sothoth, I feel a chill in my heart, so I dare not use it.”
As an old master, the old man's spiritual senses were already very developed, although sometimes it wasn't a good thing, as it allowed him to perceive more of the unknown.
"I won't say much else, old man, you absolutely must not use this spell, the consequences will be very serious."
"I understand, but how serious is it exactly?"
Seeing Chang Yan's serious expression, the old man nodded earnestly. However, he still had some questions.
"This is a deity, the ruler of time and space, an omnipotent being throughout the entire city. Just know that if you summon it, you're definitely not going to have a good ending—"
"Death is the best outcome!"
Chapter 215 Contract: Familiar Ring
(Two chapters presented)
(This afternoon, I played through the Forest game with my classmates. We played the first ending, where we killed the mutated little girl to save our son, and then shot the plane off with a pulse, but it seems that our son still mutated in the end...)
--------
After saying goodbye to the old man, Changyan took a taxi to the airport.
(By the way, system, I need to claim my mission reward.)
(Rare item being distributed - Contract/Family Ring)
(Contract? Fellowship Rings: A pair of wedding rings blessed by love, which will not be destroyed as long as there is love in one's heart. Each ring has the following abilities, which are only effective when both rings are worn at the same time and there is love in one's heart.)
(1. Suddenly turning around, I found that person in the dimly lit place: You can teleport the other person to your front after five seconds, once a day / at most twice.)
(2. May we be a pair of lovebirds in the sky, and intertwined branches on the ground: This can heal each other and restore half of the injury. It can be stored once a day or once at most.)
(3. Holding hands and growing old together: If the other person has less than one day left to live, you can share half of your own lifespan with them. This can only be used once.)
(4. Fallen petals are not heartless things, they turn into spring mud to protect the flowers: Release a defensive barrier, stored once a day / up to twice)
(5. A beautiful lady is in her boudoir, though the room is near, the person is far, and she poisons my gut: immune toxins and partial mental control)
(6. If love between two people is destined to last, why should they be together every day and night? This means that no matter where they are, they can always know where the other person is.)
A pair of exquisite rings appeared on Chang Yan's hands.
"Okay, delivering the wedding rings is a good task for the wedding."
After putting away the wedding ring and paying, Chang Yan walked into the airport...
"What? Flights have been cancelled?"
"Yes, sir, the aircraft is due for maintenance. Please excuse us."
"......"
What a hassle.
Should we wait a while longer, try a different airport, or use our abilities to return to Japan directly?
Chang Yan frowned and walked away, sitting in his chair deep in thought, then casually flipped through his spatial items.
"Huh, what's this—"
Pulling out an invitation that he had forgotten for a long time, Chang Yan suddenly remembered that it was an invitation to an auction.
"I almost forgot about this. Let me see... wait, it's still valid? Location... Shanghai. I'll go check it out."
Chang Yan got up, bought a ticket to Shanghai, and then turned to go to the waiting hall.
What? You're saying Chang Yan doesn't have the money to auction things off?
I'm not buying anything, can't I just look?
After Chang Yan walked away, the waiter took out his phone and called someone.
"Hey, Miss Zhou, the person you told me to keep an eye on has bought a ticket to Shanghai right now."
