Chapter 796: Chapter 796 Humble Protection_1
The hero saving the damsel is a romantic scene, especially when the hero who descends from the heavens is handso, dignified, masterful in magic, and from a noble background.
Lian Li, who was rescued by Chen Song in a critical mont, imdiately gave her heart to him and asked her parents to propose a marriage on her behalf to his family.
After researching Chen Song’s background, the Phantom Spirit family was quite satisfied. Though Chen Song wasn’t a descendent of the clan leader, his magical talent was exceptional, and he had a promising future, so they went with their daughter’s wishes and sent people to ask for Lian Li’s hand in marriage on behalf of the Muyin family.
Chen Song promptly refused the Phantom Spirit family’s proposal; he admitted that Lian Li was beautiful, but in his heart, there was only one most beautiful person - Yi Rou.
He had long been in mutual affection with Yi Rou and they were discussing marriage. He would not abandon Yi Rou for a woman he had only a brief encounter with.
Lian Li was the cherished daughter of her parents, had always had her desires fulfilled, and was spoiled due to her beauty. Being rejected by Chen Song was a significant hit to her pride.
Driven by resentnt and unwillingness to give in, Lian Li played a trick, pretending they had consummated their relationship.
She first used the na of farewell to invite Chen Song out, then, taking advantage of his unguarded mont, she used an Illusion Technique on him. Within the illusion, Lian Li transford into Yi Rou and seduced Chen Song into intimacy with her.
Afterwards, Lian Li intentionally spread the news that she and Chen Song had shared a bed, causing a significant commotion and pressuring Chen Song to marry her.
Yi Rou, who herself had a proud and unyielding character, whose father Chi Xun is the clan leader of the i Lan Family, announced in the na of the clan that her engagent with Chen Song had been canceled after learning about Chen Song’s actions. She also harshly declared that the Phantom Spirit family and the Muyin family were no longer welco in Qingyin City, which was under i Lan family’s control.
At this stage, it seed that Chen Song has no other choice, and even his clansn believed that marrying Lian Li would be the best outco.
However, to everyone’s shock, Chen Song did not passively succumb to fate. He instead disfigured his own face and destroyed his Magic Source, turning himself into an ugly man without any magic power to resist Phantom Spirit family’s forced marriage.
The genius deteriorated into a useless man, causing a shock within the Muyin family. The Muyin family held grudges against the Phantom Spirit family’s coercion and the i Lan family’s heartlessness. The clan leadership, along with Chen Song’s parents, went pleading to Sage Ruler Tian Yu.
After Tian Yu understood the whole story, he reflected on his father Sage Ruler Ruiyan’s incident of drunkenly tumbles into bed with a palace maid and felt disgusted with Lian Li’s actions.
Sage Ruler Tian Yu decreed that Lian Li’s conduct was inappropriate, as she had seduced Chen Song using Illusion Techniques. The Phantom Spirit family must not force Chen Song to marry Lian Li due to this matter. He also ordered Lian Li to reflect on her actions at ho and not leave Flower Fragrance City, which is under the control of the Phantom Spirit family, within three years.
As for Yi Rou, Sage Ruler Tian Yu was at a loss. Yi Rou was the victim, and she was not wrong to cancel the engagent. She was the only daughter of the clan leader of the i Lan Family and a magic genius; Tian Yu could not force her to marry a man without any magic power.
In the end, Tian Yu could only softly advise the i Lan Family not to beco enemies with the two large families over this matter. Lack of unity within the family would destabilize the entire Demon Sacred Realm.
Chief Chi Xun accepted Sage Ruler Tian Yu’s advice and revoked the order prohibiting the Phantom Spirit family and the Muyin family from entering Qingyin City. However, both of them tacitly avoided ntioning the engagent.
Tian Yu once tried to gather treasures from throughout the Demon Sacred Realm, hoping to help Chen Song restore his Magic Source, but was rejected by Chen Song. At the sa ti, he also rejected the Muyin Clan Leader’s suggestion to restore his appearance.
Although the Magic Source is hard to repair, with the Muyin family’s expertise in healing techniques, it was still possible to restore Chen Song’s appearance.
Chen Song rejected all the goodwill, thanked Sage Ruler Tian Yu, bid goodbye to his parents, and with great difficulty ca alone to Qingyin City, where the i Lan family resides.
It’s important to note that he now no longer possesses any magic power, even a negligible first-order demonic beast could take his life.
Perhaps the Ancient Gods finally gave him a bit of luck after all the hardships he experienced, and he arrived safely in Qingyin City.
Chen Song ca to the Miaoyin Pavilion where Yi Rou resided and knelt at the entrance for a long ti, asking for Yi Rou’s forgiveness.
Yi Rou sent soone to deliver a ssage to him, that their relationship had broken off and she did not wish to see him again, asking him to leave promptly.
Chen Song responded: He wouldn’t dare to wish for the bond of husband and wife in this life any longer, he only wished to be able to stay by Yi Rou’s side, even if it ant being a lowly servant.
Yi Rou’s heart was a mix of emotions. She hesitated, undecided, and couldn’t make a decision.
So Chen Song continued kneeling outside the Miaoyin Pavilion, eating the leaves from the trees and mushrooms from the ground when he was hungry. After forty-nine days, he finally collapsed due to lack of energy.
Seeing the emaciated Chen Song, Yi Rou could no longer refuse his request. She brought Chen Song back to the Miaoyin Pavilion and allowed him to stay by her side.
Since then, Chen Song has transford from a dignified magical genius to an ugly, powerless servant at Yi Rou’s side.
A few years later, Yi Rou passed the assessnt of the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle and beca a Music Magic Teacher there. She first taught at the Yellow Academy and then gradually rose to Heaven Academy.
Chen Song watched her from her side, watching her growing brighter and brighter.
After Lian Li’s confinent was lifted, she also applied to teach at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, but her application was rejected by Master Yipiao with a word: "Inappropriate conduct."
Although the Phantom Spirit family was reprimanded by Sage Ruler Tian Yu and Lian Li was punished, Yi Rou couldn’t completely let go of this injustice. The i Lan Family’s relationship with the Muyin family later eased, but their relationship with the Phantom Spirit family remained tense.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed. Chen Song still remains by Yi Rou’s side as a servant, and the crisscrossing scars that ruined his good looks did not diminish his affections for Yi Rou.
Although he is officially a servant, who would dare to treat him like a servant knowing these hidden facts about him?
The elders of the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle all know this: it is better to offend Yi Rou than to offend Chen Song.
Offending Yi Rou, as long as it is not a fundantal issue, would at most result in a castigating from Yi Rou.
If anyone were to see Chen Song in a weak state and bully him, Yi Rou would definitely not let it go. If no big figure steps in, the one who bullies Chen Song might end up being thrown into the Wanlong Pool to feed the snakes.
But between the two of them, that’s all there was.
Chen Song knew he was a waste now, not worthy of marrying Yi Rou. He was always careful in his words and deeds, not crossing any boundaries, only wishing to be able to stay by her side.
And Yi Rou, after experiencing Chen Song’s unchanging deep affection, no other man could hold any attraction for her.
These two people spent more than two decades together in this awkward manner, and are now both nearly fifty years old.
