In the midst of the falling Sesshou Sakura and Crimson Sakura petals, Columbia held Jing Chen's hand tightly.
She leaned against him.
"The stars stretch far, Celestial Spirits dance, morning and evening, only you... to share a heart with you.
A-Chen, will you be my only one?"
Jing Chen gently stroked Columbia's hair, ignoring the clamor of fox cries and thunder around them.
"Three thousand rivers, I take only a single ladle. You are the vast sea... you are the witch's cloud.
A-Ya, I will be your only one."
In front of everyone, Jing Chen and Columbia embraced tightly, ~.
Hu Tao widened her eyes, a hint of bitterness in her heart, but she still managed a faint smile.
The heart and soul are like a cloud... Ah, let it be.
Ningguang and Keqing rose slightly, their faces unreadable, and silently departed.
Shenhe didn't understand the meaning of these vows, but the bitterness in her heart caused cracks to appear in her Red Rope seal.
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and Ganyu, though her heart was filled with complex emotions, could only pick up her handkerchief.
Trembling, she wiped away Shenhe's tears, even though she felt much the same way.
But, she was the senior disciple, and no matter what happened, she had to remain strong.
She tried to calm herself, comforting Shenhe with the utmost gentleness.
"Shenhe, it's alright, everything will be okay."
Chang Meng, who was standing to the side, remained silent for a long time. She stood there like a statue before finally choosing to revert to her original form as a Green Snake and leave.
From now on, she never wanted to take human form again. It was better to be a carefree little Green Snake in the mountain streams.
She kept comforting and admonishing herself, but the more she did so, the more profound the longing in her heart became.
Kokomi sighed softly. This is the typical couple from the light novels of Yae Publishing House. She was just a passerby.
Just a passerby in Jing Chen's life. And how could a passerby possibly become the female lead?!
She should just offer them her blessings.
Raiden Ei asked softly.
"Kokomi, are you crying?"
"Ah?! I... I'm not."
Cloud Retainer saw the unfavorable situation around them and could only shake her head helplessly.
Sigh, how could this disciple of hers have such a deep-seated sin?!
Yae Miko glared fiercely at Jing Chen and Columbia.
Why, why was Columbia with Jing Chen?!
Shock, jealousy, hatred, remorse, and despair—these complex emotions constantly intertwined.
In an instant, she felt as if she had returned to that spring over a decade ago.
Crimson Sakura petals drifted in the gentle breeze.
Yae Miko leaned against a Crimson Sakura tree, munching on fried tofu while reading Jing Chen's manuscript, Elysia's Past Paradise.
Jing Chen stood beside her, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"Oh? What's wrong, little Jing Chen?"
"Lady Yae Miko, I... I like, I like your voice. I feel like it's very familiar, very important."
"Oh?! Love me, love my voice, so you like me, right?"
At that moment, Jing Chen lowered his head in silence, not answering.
Yae Miko smiled softly.
"Oh my, little Jing Chen, let's talk about that later. Go write me some more light novels, I haven't read enough, not nearly enough!"
Jing Chen fled in a hurry.
Time passed, and Jing Chen now had Columbia by his side, and they had even exchanged wedding vows, right in front of her.
Tears streamed down Yae Miko's face, even after everything, she still wanted to fight for it.
She closed her eyes and screamed.
"Jing Chen!! Destruction, or me!!"
Columbia leaned against Jing Chen, waved her hand, and displayed three pairs of wings identical to her own.
She declared to Yae Miko.
"Yae Miko, you saw it too, didn't you? Both Jing Chen and I are Celestial Spirits. What chance do you have?!"
Yae Miko couldn't help but tremble, taking several steps back.
"Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!!"
"Columbia!! Shut up, I want to hear Jing Chen's answer!!"
Jing Chen shielded Columbia behind him.
"Yae Miko, I don't have those feelings for you. Let's part ways amicably."
"You!! Heh, heh, good, very good, really very good."
Hundreds upon thousands of Sesshou Sakura simultaneously gathered terrifying lightning, flying towards Jing Chen and Columbia.
"Enough! Miko, stop."
At the same moment, another bolt of lightning tore through the sky, directly clashing with Yae Miko's Sesshou Sakura.
The entire Inazuma was shaken by the power of the two bolts of lightning, with both Narukami Island and Watatsumi Island trembling violently.
When the lightning subsided, Yae Miko had already fallen asleep, transforming into a small, pink fox.
Raiden Ei walked forward slightly and supported her.
"Jing Chen, I will handle Yae Miko's matter properly. Also, you should stay away from Inazuma for the next few years."
Seeing that the Raiden Shogun had already spared Jing Chen, the Tri-Commission officials quickly made way for Jing Chen and Columbia.
Among the crowd, Scaramouche couldn't help but sigh.
"Is this the power of a god?! It truly makes me envious and covetous. Hahaha!!
Baalzebub, one day, I too will ascend to godhood. I will make Inazuma, the land you cherish, and its people, pay the price!!"
Even though they were some distance apart, Raiden Ei sensed his presence.
She cast a cold glance at Scaramouche in the crowd, and in the instant their eyes met.
Scaramouche felt an unprecedented pressure, cold sweat pouring down his back, and he hastily retreated.
At White Fox Field, the stars shone brilliantly, and Columbia nestled beside Jing Chen.
She took out the fireworks Yoimiya had given her from her spatial backpack, and then lit them.
The dazzling fireworks bloomed in the night, emitting radiant light, but vanished in an instant.
Columbia gazed at the sky, sighing with emotion.
"Fireworks are fleeting, Ah Chen."
Jing Chen gently stroked Columbia's hair.
"But the bonds between people endure, right? Aiya."
Columbia nodded slightly.
"Oh, right, Ah Chen, quickly bring out Ayaka, Yoimiya, and Kirara."
"Mhm."
As Yoimiya and Ayaka appeared, Kirara's figure was nowhere to be seen.
