From the start of the war to forcing the Jersey Empire to sign the surrender document.
It took less than a month in total.
Yu Tang thought that once he returned victorious, Yu Xiao would wake up.
But when they actually returned, they discovered that Yu Xiao's coma this time was different from the previous ones.
The metal in his body was gone.
The cells also lost their ability to regenerate.
The injuries he sustained were only fully recovered thanks to the help of medical equipment and medication, along with Yu Tang's divine power.
Yu Tang told Xiao Jin about this.
Both of them agreed that it was all Wei Yuan's arrangement.
Because this is what Yu Xiao truly wants: an ordinary person's body.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry.
He believed that Yu Xiao wouldn't keep him waiting too long.
After all, he still owes the other party a dirty song...
Chapter 44
The villain was resurrected for the seventh time (44)
Tang Xun deliberately delayed his wedding to Mu Lanke repeatedly during the war.
When Mu Xinglin returned victorious, he asked the Queen to cancel the wedding.
He stated directly that the person he liked was Mu Xinglin, not Mu Lanke.
Mulan also expressed her indifference towards Tang Xun, saying that if a marriage alliance must be arranged, please use his brother, not her.
The Queen looked Mu Xinglin and Mu Lanke up and down, and began to have her own thoughts.
Mu Xinglin's abilities were fully utilized in this war.
This not only impressed her but also shocked the royal family of the Weiss Empire.
Besides Mulan, the other siblings even began to worry that Mu Xinglin would pose a threat to their positions.
Therefore, they couldn't be happier to push Mu Xinglin out.
The Queen, on the other hand, valued talent and tested Mu Xinglin several times to confirm the man's sincerity towards her son.
He didn't refuse any longer and agreed to their marriage.
They got engaged first, and the formal wedding was scheduled for May 21st.
In the hospital, Yu Tang said to Yu Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, you've been lying here for a year. Wake up soon, or you'll miss Tang Xun's wedding."
"The marriage of the princes of two nations will undoubtedly be a grand affair, broadcast live across the entire galaxy—what a wonderful opportunity to be the center of attention! You must get up so I can sing at the wedding. Otherwise, this chance will be gone forever..."
Yu Tang chattered on and on as usual, but Yu Xiao remained lying there calmly, unchanged.
Her face was slightly thin, and her long black hair, which had reached her neck, made her skin appear even whiter. She looked so adorable while sleeping that it was heartbreaking.
Yu Tang sighed softly, finished speaking, and then stood up and placed a kiss on Yu Xiao's forehead.
"Xiaoxiao, it's Sasha's birthday today, I need to go back early, I'll be going now."
The ward door closed, and only the evening glow shining into the room noticed the person who had been sleeping quietly on the bed. Their eyelashes fluttered slightly, and their fingers lifted a little.
The Yu Family Manor at dusk.
The lights were on full display.
This complex was built at the Queen's personal behest to house all the merfolk.
In one year, the Queen secured equal rights for the merfolk with humans.
Besides the merfolk, she also deliberately investigated the market for intelligent races within the Oro Empire.
New laws and regulations have been revised to protect intelligent races.
As for the clones who survived the war, they were imprisoned, and Yu Tang removed their chips.
Only after going through numerous rigorous assessments can they be integrated into society.
The seemingly harsh conditions for integration were actually the biggest concession the Queen made.
The policy was passed under immense pressure from the Queen.
She wanted to create an empire where intelligent races and humans could coexist, and she was willing to take the risk.
"Brother—" Yu Shasha staggered out of the room, wearing a pretty princess dress. But it was clear she wasn't used to using her legs.
His posture was somewhat comical, but he had a smile on his face.
Yu Tang helped her up. The little girl's face was flushed. She said, "So many people came to play with me! They all wished me a happy birthday!"
With the help of Mu Xinglin, Yu Tangjia, and the researchers assigned by the Queen, a capsule was finally developed after a year. Mermaids could maintain their human form for an hour after taking it.
It is believed that with the improvement of the capsule, merfolk will be able to maintain human form for longer and longer periods of time.
Yu Tang patted the little girl's head: "Did you thank them properly?"
"I told them! I even gave them my favorite snacks!"
Yu Tang smiled and nodded, then asked her, "Where did Father and Mother go?"
"They're with the guests! Mother has recently taken a liking to makeup and is discussing it with the ladies!"
"Father has taken a liking to chess and is currently playing Go with Brother Lanze!"
A year ago, Yu Xiao was wounded and forced to leave the battlefield, while Xu Lanze joined the fray.
However, his abilities were clearly not as extraordinary as those of Yu Tang and others. He was injured in the war, and his hearing in both ears was severely impaired. After the war, he chose to retire to the rear and take up a clerical job.
The person, who was originally unconventional, fell in love with playing chess and became calmer.
The birthday party became even more lively because of Yu Tang's return.
The cake was brought out, and Yu Shasha closed her eyes, made a wish, and then blew out the candles.
That night, as Yu Tang was putting her to sleep, the little mermaid whispered to him, "Brother, don't be sad. I made a wish that Brother Yu Xiao would wake up and come to be with you right away. I believe that the gods will hear this and grant my wish so that you can be reunited!"
Yu Tang was touched by her kindness.
He patted Yu Shasha's head, hummed in agreement, turned off the light for her, and then went out.
After washing up in the evening, Yu Tang sat on the bed, picked up the song Yu Xiao had written before from the bedside table, and looked through it.
Outside the window is a large European-style balcony, where moonlight streams in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, spreading a silvery-white glow on the ground.
Gradually, a dark shadow appeared in the center of the silvery-white area.
Slowly moving forward, the outline of a human figure emerges.
As if sensing something, Yu Tang turned his head and met Yu Xiao's gaze as she was about to open the French windows.
Both of them were taken aback.
The sound of the window being opened came along with Yu Xiao's embarrassed voice.
"I was going to surprise you. I deliberately avoided the manor guards and carefully climbed onto the balcony, but you turned around so quickly, I..."
The rest of the conversation was interrupted by Yu Tang's hug.
Yu Tang held him tightly, his heart pounding so hard it almost made his ears ring.
Yu Xiao was flattered and blinked a few times before belatedly hugging the man in her arms.
"I'm sorry, Tangtang, I made you worry..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Yu Tang's hand begin to pinch his waist.
First, I touched her waist and abdomen, then her back and chest.
This really ignited Yu Xiao's anger.
He asked:
"Tangtang, so you...missed me this much?"
Yu Tang said, "I was worried that after sleeping for a year, your body might not be able to adapt to being out of the hospital, so I wanted to get you checked out."
Yu Xiao's eyes darkened.
He pulled Yu Tang to sit on the bed and then slowly laid him down.
When asked, "Do you really just want to get checked out?"
Yu Tang pursed her lips and reached out to tug at Yu Xiao's collar: "Yes..."
"I just want to check it more carefully, is that okay with you?"
Their eyes met, and their thoughts were self-evident.
Yu Xiao bent down.
He said softly, "Then please have Dr. Yu examine me carefully, and don't miss any spot..."
Chapter 45
The villain is resurrected for the seventh time (45) - World ends
Yu Xiao's awakening was a joyous occasion that thrilled the entire empire.
The Queen held a special banquet to celebrate, setting the entire Oro Empire into a frenzy.
After that war, no one dared to question Yu Tang and Yu Xiao's abilities anymore.
They are undoubtedly the strongest combination in the empire, the guardians of the empire.
At the same time, thanks to the power of these two role models, the warriors had a greater goal to strive for, allowing the Oro Empire to gradually recover to its former glory.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
What makes Yu Xiao happiest is the resolution of her physical problems.
