Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

Chapter 205 The Grand Finale 2

Shen Qingyao's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of hesitation that was barely perceptible.

She stared silently at the Divine Summoning Sword, her feet seemingly nailed to the spot, unable to move an inch.

As time ticked by, the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.

Finally, after several internal struggles, Shen Qingyao took a deep breath, slowly lifted her foot, and walked step by step toward the mysterious Divine Summoning Sword.

With each step she took, Shen Qingyao felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through her mind, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

She knew all too well that she was just an ordinary person and could never truly control such a powerful Divine Summoning Sword.

However, if she were to refuse at this moment, wouldn't that be tantamount to openly declaring to everyone present that she was not the legendary Goddess of Elysium? The consequences of that would be unimaginable.

Unless… Shen Qingyao thought to herself, unless she immediately relinquished control of her body and returned it to the true God of Bliss.

However, Si Jingnian and his men are currently trapped at the foot of the mountain and unable to arrive in time to provide support.

She, Ruan Hongshuang, and Long Jiaojiao were outnumbered and outmatched. If they were to resist, they would likely only end up being smashed to pieces.

But if she allows the God of Bliss to control her body at this very moment, will she have a chance to regain control in the future?

This question kept swirling in Shen Qingyao's mind, making her feel more conflicted and helpless than ever before.

While she was pondering, Shen Qingyao's hand had already grasped the Summoning God Sword.

Just as Shen Qingyao was racking her brains trying to find a suitable excuse to pause the verification, suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from her slender, fair palm without warning!

The golden light was as dazzling as a shooting star streaking across the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

At the same time, the Summoning God Sword, which had been gleaming with a cold, icy light, seemed to suddenly come to life and floated in mid-air in an unbelievable way.

It was like a nimble dragon, gracefully circling around Shen Qingyao several times.

The light emanating from the sword and the golden light complemented each other, illuminating the entire space in a dreamlike way.

Faced with such a strange sight, Shen Qingyao's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief and shock.

However, just as she was in shock, a strong feeling of dizziness struck her, and then everything went black before her eyes, and she completely lost consciousness.

When Shen Qingyao slowly opened her eyes again, she was surprised to find herself in mid-air, with a vast expanse of ethereal clouds beneath her feet.

What terrified her even more was that directly below her stood a huge, broken, and dilapidated statue.

Although the statue was dilapidated, it still exuded a chilling aura, as if it concealed endless evil power.

Beside the statue, the once arrogant and domineering president of the Bliss Society was now bound hand and foot like a lamb to the slaughter, his former prestige completely gone.

His face was filled with terror and despair, clearly indicating that he had encountered something extremely terrible.

The surrounding area was filled with corpses in various gruesome states, a truly horrific sight, and the stench of blood permeated the entire venue.

Shen Qingyao subconsciously turned her head and immediately saw Si Jingnian, Xia Ran, Ruan Hongshuang, Long Jiaojiao and others standing not far away.

Xia Ran was being supported by Ruan Hongshuang, and it seemed she had just gone through a fierce battle, with traces of blood still hanging from the corner of her mouth.

Si Jingnian's deep, pool-like eyes were filled with deep worry, as if he feared she might suffer even the slightest harm.

However, at that moment, a sudden gust of wind swept in, causing Shen Qingyao to lose her balance and become unsteady.

She felt her body involuntarily plummeting towards the ground, the whistling wind making her heart leap into her throat.

Upon seeing this, Si Jingnian's expression changed drastically, and he inwardly cried out in alarm. Without hesitation, he unleashed all his power and raced towards Shen Qingyao at lightning speed.

Finally, at the critical moment, Si Jingnian successfully rushed to Shen Qingyao's side and caught her petite and delicate body with open arms.

"Ayao..."

Si Jingnian called out to Shen Qingyao in his arms in a soft voice, his voice filled with concern and heartache.

Hearing Si Jingnian's familiar voice, Shen Qingyao tried hard to open her heavy eyelids and managed a weak smile in response.

However, due to severe exhaustion, she could only manage a slight smile before collapsing into a deep coma.

……

After an unknown amount of time, when Shen Qingyao slowly woke up, she saw Meng Shuqin and Si Jingnian standing guard on either side of her.

As soon as Meng Shuqin saw her open her eyes, she immediately stood up anxiously, her originally beautiful face now filled with worry and tension.

She stared intently at Shen Qingyao and fired off a barrage of questions:

"Ah Yao, how are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong with your body? Does your stomach still hurt? Do you feel nauseous? Is there anything you want to eat?"

Faced with Meng Shuqin's barrage of questions, Shen Qingyao was somewhat bewildered and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

She blinked her bewildered eyes and slowly shifted her gaze to Si Jingnian beside her. To her surprise, she found that in his deep eyes, besides the worry and concern, there seemed to be a hint of undisguised joy.

The next few days passed in a daze for Shen Qingyao.

Although Meng Shuqin and Si Jingnian have always been very caring and considerate towards her, she still needs some time to process this sudden news—that she is carrying a new life!

Recalling everything that happened in that eerie and mysterious ancient tomb, Shen Qingyao never dreamed that just that one time would cause such a significant change in her identity.

In the past few days, the entire Marshal's Mansion seemed to have been bustling with activity because of her.

Everything, from her diet and daily routine to her activities, was arranged in an orderly manner. Everyone carefully surrounded her, afraid that the slightest mistake might affect the health of her and the baby in her womb.

Liu Shuyi came several times, but each time she only stayed for a short while before leaving. Several times she seemed to want to say something but then stopped, and ultimately said nothing.

It wasn't until later that Shen Qingyao learned that Shen Yuanyuan and her mother had also perished in the operation to suppress the Bliss Society, their souls devoured by the God of Bliss.

Liu Shuyi was worried that if she brought up this matter, Shen Qingyao would misunderstand that she wanted to plead for leniency, so she never dared to tell her.

Regarding the siege of the Bliss Society, neither Si Jingnian, Xia Ran, nor Ruan Hongshuang mentioned a word about what happened that day.

Xia Ran only told Shen Qingyao that this child was of great importance and should be nurtured well, as it would surely become a powerful ruler in the future.

Shen Qingyao scoffed at these words; all she needed was for her child to be healthy and safe.

Si Jingnian indulged Shen Qingyao in everything, and whatever she said went.

Looking at Si Jingnian, whose heart and eyes were filled with her, Shen Qingyao curled her lips and put the bloody memory in her mind out of her head.

The matter is over, the God of Bliss has been destroyed, and their lives will be peaceful from now on.

……

Five years later.

Si Yueyue ran home carrying a demon in each hand, her little face covered in dust, and looked at Shen Qingyao with great dissatisfaction.

"Mommy, you lied to me again and made me do all the hard work for free, while you and Daddy ate delicious food at home. I'm going to tell Grandma!"

Watching Si Yueyue walk away angrily, Shen Qingyao's smile faded slightly.

"She wouldn't actually go and tell on me, would she?"

Si Jingnian nonchalantly looked away, continued to pick out the fish bones from the bowl, and then fed them to Shen Qingyao.

"Don't worry! Mom is definitely on your side."

Shen Qingyao nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

"Right!"
