Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death.

Chapter 680 A New Beginning (The End)

Qinling.

The once dense forest teeming with wild beasts and monsters is now bare, with hardly any vegetation. Instead, rows of red plastic stools stand out.

The few remaining trees were adorned with colorful flags, banners, and even firecrackers, creating a forced sense of joyful beauty.

This place was once the garrison of the Forbidden City Army, and now it is the wedding venue for Xu Fang and Jiang Shaoxu.

Soldiers who had fought alongside the two, friends, representatives from military regions, magic associations, and major magic forces around the world all came.

"Let me tell you, I was optimistic about Councilor Hsu from the very beginning!"

A military mage boasted to the person next to him, "Back then, Councilor Xu was undergoing military training in our ancient capital. He was just a beginner-level light mage at that time."

I saw his potential at a glance and wanted to recruit him into my army. He even said he would be given priority consideration!

"And then?" someone asked curiously.

"And then? Then Councilor Xu grew too fast and was directly selected by the Flying Horn Grand Instructor to go to the Forbidden Army. How could I, in this small place, keep him?" the military magistrate said dejectedly.

Everyone laughed, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Look over there, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue from Fanxue Mountain are here!"

"Ye Xinxia, ​​the new goddess of the Parthenon!"

"Grand Duchess Eileen of the Victorian family, many people originally thought she and Councilor Xu were a good match."

"And the new head of the Zhao family, Zhao Manyan, and the leader of the Southern Wing Mage Guild, Mu Bai, they've both arrived!"

"Damn it, look over there!"

The scene suddenly fell silent as everyone watched a woman who seemed to be surrounded by holy light walk in.

"That's Gabriel, the new Archangel of the Holy City!"

Ignoring the stares of others, Shaka walked up to Feng Zhoulong and respectfully said, "Teacher."

"Shaja is here. You must be hungry after such a long journey. Shaja, want to eat something first?" Feng Zhoulong said happily.

His gaze was different from others; he wasn't looking at a washed-up archangel, but simply at a junior.

Shaka smiled and took the cupcake from Feng Zhoulong, taking small bites.

······

The wedding was held in the evening.

The setting sun poured down like molten gold, dyeing the sky a gentle orange-red, a color that was neither too dazzling nor lacking in warmth.

Sunlight filters through the layers of mountains, draping each peak in a thin veil of gold, making the ridgelines appear even more rugged and mysterious in the sunset.

The mountain mist rose quietly, intertwining with the sunset to create a hazy and dreamlike scene.

The occasional bright stars also complemented the small colored lights on the ground.

Behind the flower-shaped archway, Hua Zhanhong stood in the center of the stage, a smug smile on his face.

He is the officiant at today's wedding.

He had defeated countless people and fought hard to get this position—he was even happier when he saw Shao Zheng's displeased expression in the audience.

"Look over there, the groom is here!"

Applause and cheers erupted, and Xu Fang, dressed in a sharp suit, waved to the crowd.

Today, his flamboyant blond hair wasn't just casually draped over his shoulders or simply tied with a rubber band; instead, it was styled and cut short.

Compared to before, it looked much cleaner and neater. Jiang Chong, sitting in the first row, couldn't help but smile and nudged the person next to him, "Not bad, right?"

"You've said it so many times," the white-bearded old man said speechlessly. "If you really can't hold it in, why don't you go up on stage now, put your hands on your hips, and laugh a couple of times?"

"Old man Ai, what's with your attitude? I invited you here so you could observe and learn, and try to find a son-in-law who is just as satisfactory as you are—although it's a bit difficult."

Old Man Ai rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Showing off now? You'll be crying when your daughter gets married!"

"Cry? I won't cry, this is a good thing, I'm overjoyed!"

Jiang Chong spoke with great conviction, knowing his daughter's temperament well, and directly cut most of the sentimental parts out.

Jiang Chong agreed, saying that such a joyous occasion should be celebrated with laughter and joy, and if possible, the whole audience could sing a military song in unison!

"Shh, keep your voice down, the flower girl is coming!"

In mid-air, a cute creature resembling a chubby baby dressed as a lion was floating, scattering flower petals into the air with its chubby little hands.

On the ground, there was a cartoon crocodile, grinning foolishly with a flower basket on its body.

That adorable and silly charm completely won over the audience, especially the girls who naturally love cute things, who instinctively covered their mouths.

Behind the two little ones, Jiang Shaoxu, dressed in a pure white wedding dress, walked out happily, waving her hand.

"What a nice view!"

"Yoho!"

Amidst enthusiastic applause and cheers, Jiang Shaoxu waved and interacted with the audience in a very friendly manner.

"It seems the bride is eager to hand herself over to the groom," Hua Zhanhong said with a smile, eliciting laughter from the audience.

"yes."

Jiang Shaoxu stated frankly, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I'm not playing dumb anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table!"

"Hahaha···"

Hua Zhanhong laughed and said, "I heard that before the wedding, the bride and groom each prepare a surprise for each other?"

"That's right." Jiang Shaoxu smiled and looked at Xu Fang: "Would you like to go first, or should I?"

"You go first."

"Okay." Jiang Shaoxu touched her lower abdomen, a blush rising on her face. "I'll give it to you alone."

Xu Fang's eyes widened, and his breathing became heavy.

"Hehe, you're surprised, aren't you? I just found out a few days ago." Jiang Shaoxu said with a coquettish smile, "Hey, hey, control your emotions, I promised to only laugh and not cry today."

Xu Fang controlled his emotions and let out a long sigh: "This really is the best gift."

"Congratulations, double happiness!" Hua Zhanhong said with a smile. "So, what did you prepare for Shaoxu?"

Xu Fang had already composed himself and smiled, "What a coincidence, I also prepared someone."

Ok?

Everyone present was stunned, including Jiang Chong and Jiang Shaoxu.

Will Xu Fang also have children?

No, no, no, even if Xu Fang is incredibly powerful and omnipotent, and his forbidden spells and divine gifts are absolutely heaven-defying, he still can't possibly have a child... right?

"bring it on."

Please take a look at this gift.

At the other end of the red carpet, a person walked up who looked very young, at most in his early twenties.

She was also dressed in a formal suit, with a gentle and doting smile on her face.

The younger monks at the scene whispered among themselves, speculating about the man's identity.

The older guests, especially several of Jiang Chong's close friends, widened their eyes in disbelief!

This is!

"Shaojun!" Jiang Chong had already stood up and couldn't help but shout!

"Dad, I'm back," Jiang Shaojun said with a smile, walking across the red carpet and standing at one end of the stage.

He smiled and nodded at Xu Fang, then looked at Jiang Shaoxu, who had been in a daze since earlier, and reached out to touch her hair:

"Don't you recognize me?"

Feeling the unfamiliar yet familiar temperature above her head, Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but purse her lips, and large tears welled up in her eyes.

The girl was sobbing uncontrollably.

"My little princess, I'm back." Jiang Shaojun gently patted her shoulder: "You've grown up."

"Brother!" Two unstoppable streams of tears rolled down Jiang Shaoxu's cheeks. Sobbing, she pounded his chest with her fists, crying, "You're back! You're back! Why did it take you so long to come back?!"

Jiang Shaojun's eyes also reddened: "Alright, everyone's watching, be strong."

He glanced at Xu Fang.

Xu Fang stepped forward, took the girl from Jiang Shaojun's arms, and gently patted her with his palms, conveying a soothing rhythm.

He could feel that the shackles that had been holding Jiang Shaoxu's heart the deepest part had shattered.

She will never be that lost, sad little girl again.

Jiang Shaoxu's body went limp from crying. Xu Fang smiled and reached out to tap her forehead: "We agreed to only laugh and not cry today, you fickle little woman."

"It's all your fault!" Jiang Shaoxu sobbed.

"Alright, alright, it's all my fault," Xu Fang laughed. "Then, my dear Ah Xu, how are you going to punish me?"

Jiang Shaoxu raised her head, tears streaming down her face, and kissed his lips directly.

The force was so great that Xu Fang, caught off guard, was almost knocked over. He held her waist with one hand, and his smile became even brighter.

"Kissing, be serious!" Jiang Shaoxu blurted out the words.

"Hahahaha..." Xu Fang laughed more and more uncontrollably, and even Jiang Shaoxu was caught up in it, laughing and crying at the same time: "Bad guy! Bad guy!"

Hua Zhanhong, who was not far away, was also moved: "Both of them put a lot of thought into their gifts... Well then, we can give our speeches next."

"Can we omit this part?" Xu Fang patted the girl who was burying her head in his arms. "I feel that we don't need words to describe each other."

"sure."

Hua Zhanhong smiled and asked, "Xu Fang, are you willing to accept Jiang Shaoxu as your wife?"

"I do."

"Jiang Shaoxu, are you willing...?"

"I do! I do! I do!"

"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter erupted from the audience, and Hua Zhanhong chuckled as well, "Well, it seems the bride has been eagerly waiting. Now, please exchange rings and toss the bouquet."

El Niño and the little green crocodile brought up two more items.

Jiang Shaojun took it and handed it over.

Xu Fang put the ring on Jiang Shaoxu's finger and looked down at his bride.

Jiang Shaoxu's originally exquisite makeup turned into a comical little kitten from crying, which Xu Fang found indescribably cute.

He lowered his head and gave her a light kiss.

The audience cheered, and Jiang Shaojun clapped as he quietly stepped back, leaving the stage to the two young men.

He sat down next to Jiang Chong.

"Wait a moment, let's sit at the same table," Jiang Chong said. "It's your sister's wedding, have a few more drinks."

"Yes." Jiang Shaojun nodded with a smile.

Jiang Chong’s voice was calm, but even Jiang Shaojun, who was not a sound-based mage, could hear a slight tremor in it.

······

The bouquet was tossed in the air; last time, Jiang Shaoxu was the one who caught it.

This time, as a bride, she will pass on this happiness.

"Hahaha, I, Mo Fan, am determined to get this flower!" Mo Fan chuckled. "Me, my first wife, and my second wife—the three of us are of one mind. What can anyone else do to compete with me?"

"Oh?"

Mu Bai ruthlessly exposed his predicament: "There's only one bouquet, so who are you going to give it to after you snatch it?"

Mo Fan: "..."

"Why can't it be my two wives, the first wife and the second wife, who fought over me?" He tried to save face.

Mu Bai smiled.

Mo Fan was dejected.

If Mo Fan couldn't do it, Zhao Manyan would be even less likely to succeed. Let alone dividing the bouquet in half, he couldn't even finish dividing it into individual flowers or petals!

Others didn't need to worry about this; they were eager to crowd together, wanting to snatch this happiness.

Jiang Shaoxu turned her back: "It's going to be thrown away!"

With a powerful toss, the bouquet traced a dazzling arc in the sunset, like the brightest shooting star in the night sky, drawing everyone's attention.

The guests, especially the single women, jumped up and reached out their hands to try to catch it.

Laughter and cheers mingled together.

The ultimate victor is ————

"Hello!" Qin Yu'er smiled sweetly, waving the bouquet of flowers to the people around her.

She no longer needs an alias, and the Holy City will not, and dares not, cause her any more trouble.

She waved to Zhan Kong openly and happily, and Zhan Kong, that weathered old man, couldn't help but reveal a silly grin like a young boy.

Jiang Shaoxu on stage laughed uncontrollably, hugging Xu Fang's arm tightly, their fingers intertwined.

"That's great, isn't it?"

...(much later)...

Time flows like water, passing slowly by.

Happiness is defined by oneself, and tranquility is also a kind of happiness.

There's a saying that Xu Fang really likes: "Strive to live out your short life to the fullest and leave your achievements for future generations to inherit. That's how humanity grows and matures, over and over again."

That's really amazing.

"Are the children asleep?" Xu Fang asked softly, putting his arm around his wife's waist.

"Here we go again." Jiang Shaoxu slapped his hand away impatiently. "Our child's child is asleep!"

"Ha ha."

Xu Fang laughed and said, "Thinking about it now, time really flies."

He stood up and stretched. "Anyway, we're retired now, how about we find somewhere to go and have some fun?"

"where?"

"It's an interesting place," Xu Fang said with a smile. "It's been calling to me for years. It's been so enthusiastic; it would be impolite not to go."

He waved his hand, and a golden door emerged from the depths of the spiritual space, then appeared in front of the two of them.

Through the gate, one can feel the light emanating from it, and vaguely see familiar figures.

It was none other than the entity that protected Xu Fang's essence whenever he faced a life-or-death crisis.

"How about it, come along?" Xu Fang encouraged, "We've had a stable life for half our lives, how about a spontaneous sunset getaway?"

"What 'Sunset Walk'? It sounds awful."

Jiang Shaoxu scoffed, "That's called a long-awaited adventure!"

"I'm not comfortable with you going alone, I want to go too!" Although she said it with a hint of disdain, Xu Fang could clearly see the eagerness in her eyes.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"No weird songs allowed, they'll ruin the atmosphere!"

"Go ahead and sing, then hit me!"

The two laughed and joked as their figures gradually disappeared through the golden gate, their once aging bodies becoming more upright and youthful.

Just like back then.
