Chapter 223 Overjoyed
The light of the stars fell on the valley, dispelling the haze that had shrouded the valley for many days. The remaining members of the mysterious organization were like candles in the wind in front of the well-trained elite teams of Gao and Nan, and were quickly wiped out. When the smoke cleared, the air was filled with a faint smell of blood, reminding people of the tragic battle that had taken place here.
Gao Xingchen looked at the leader who was subdued in front of him. There was no joy of victory in his eyes, only deep compassion. He gently placed his hand on the leader's shoulder and said calmly and firmly: "Let go of your hatred and turn back."
The leader bowed his head helplessly, and his former ambitions vanished at this moment. He knew that he had lost, completely. He closed his eyes and let the Gao family take him away. What awaited him was a fair trial.
"It's over." Nan Li walked to Gao Xingchen's side, looking at the devastated valley, and said softly. There was a hint of fatigue in her voice, but it couldn't hide the relief she felt.
Gao Xingchen turned to look at Nan Li. Under the moonlight, her beautiful face looked a little pale, but it added a touch of charming charm. He gently held her hand, interlocking their fingers, conveying silent warmth and strength.
"Yeah, it's over," he said softly, "We won."
When the news reached the family, the heads of the Gao and Nan families burst into tears of joy. This victory was hard-won. It meant that peace had finally been restored in the Nine Star Realm, and it also meant that Gao Xingchen and Nan Li had proven their strength and value. To celebrate this hard-won victory, the two families decided to jointly hold a grand celebration banquet and invite people from the entire star region to celebrate together.
When the news spread, the entire star region was in an uproar. People came from all directions spontaneously, wanting to see the hero with their own eyes. On the day of the celebration banquet, the cities where the Gao and Nan families lived were decorated with lights and colors, and the atmosphere was joyous. People sang and danced, celebrating the victory and praising the hero.
As the biggest contributors to this victory, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. They wore gorgeous clothes and stood side by side on the high platform, accepting blessings and admiration from all sides. Gao Xingchen's eyes swept across the crowd and finally stopped at Nan Li, with a gentle light flashing in his eyes.
Nan Li seemed to sense something, and turned to look at Gao Xingchen. Their eyes met, and no words were needed, as everything was said without words. On this day of universal celebration, what could be more delightful than this?
However, Gao Xingchen's mind was always lingering with an idea, an idea he wanted to say out loud...
The atmosphere of the celebration banquet was warm and cheerful, with fine wine and delicious food being served on the table like flowing water, and melodious music floating in the air. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, as the protagonists, were surrounded by everyone and received blessings.
Gao Xingchen was a little absent-minded, his eyes drifted towards Nan Li from time to time, and the thought in his mind became stronger and stronger. Finally, he made up his mind.
He raised his glass, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "Today, I want to thank all the people who have worked hard for this victory, and I want to thank one person even more. She is the star in my life, lighting my way forward!"
Everyone was stunned, and then their eyes turned to Nan Li, with curiosity and blessings. Nan Li was also a little surprised. She didn't understand what Gao Xingchen wanted to do, but she was looking forward to it in her heart.
Gao Xingchen walked up to Nan Li, looked at her affectionately, took out an exquisite box from his arms, and knelt on one knee. The box was opened, and a glittering ring lay quietly in it, as if carrying thousands of words.
"Nanli, will you marry me? Let me protect you forever and protect this starry sky with you!" Gao Xingchen's voice echoed in the banquet hall with unquestionable firmness.
The crowd cheered enthusiastically, and everyone was deeply moved by this scene. Nan Li's eyes were slightly moist, and she stretched out her hand, allowing Gao Xingchen to put the ring on her finger.
"I do." Her voice was soft but firm, as if it was the most beautiful vow in the world.
Xiaobai seemed to feel the happy atmosphere as well, and excitedly shuttled among the crowd, drawing bursts of laughter. Sometimes he jumped onto the table to steal delicious cakes, and sometimes he ran into the crowd to act like a spoiled child, becoming another unique landscape at the celebration banquet.
However, just as everyone was immersed in joy, Xiaobai suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked into the distance, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He let out a low growl, as if he had noticed something unusual.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li also noticed Xiao Bai's abnormality. They looked at each other and felt a little uneasy. Would this star region, which had just restored peace, really be so peaceful? What would be waiting for them in the future?
Xiaobai's uneasiness was soon confirmed. Its keen perception caught a hint of abnormal spatial fluctuations. The fluctuations were weak and obscure. If it weren't for Xiaobai's natural sensitivity to danger, it would probably be difficult to detect. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li immediately realized that something was wrong. The two exchanged glances, and the originally joyful atmosphere instantly became solemn.
"Xingchen, what's wrong?" Nanli asked softly. She could feel the change in Gao Xingchen's aura, which was the alertness and calmness when facing danger.
"Xiaobai felt something unusual, as if something had sneaked into the star field." Gao Xingchen explained in a low voice, while calmly signaling the guests around him to remain calm.
Nan Li frowned slightly. She believed in Xiao Bai's intuition, which meant that the peace in the star field was only temporary, and a greater crisis might be ahead. But she did not show any panic, but firmly held Gao Xingchen's hand, giving him silent support.
The celebration banquet was carried out in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. On the surface, there was still laughter and joy, but secretly, the two had already begun to investigate this abnormal space fluctuation. They used their respective forces and intelligence networks to quickly take action.
At the same time, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li did not forget their promise to protect the peace of the star field. They used their influence to call on various families and forces to unite and jointly maintain the order of the star field. They also formulated a series of new laws and systems to encourage the development of science and technology, culture and economy, so that the star field can prosper in a peaceful environment.
In order to commemorate this hard-won victory and to warn future generations, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li decided to build a monument in the center of the star field. This monument is made of the most precious meteorite in the star field, and is hundreds of feet high and majestic. The monument is engraved with the names of the heroes who died in the battle, as well as the heroic figures of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li fighting side by side, becoming the spiritual symbol of the star field.
On the day the monument was completed, people from the entire star region came to witness this historic moment. People looked up at the monument with reverence, their hearts filled with admiration for the hero and hope for the future. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood at the front of the crowd, their hands tightly clasped together, their eyes firm and deep.
They know that the road ahead is still long and full of challenges, but this starry sky will always remember their determination to fight for it and their everlasting love.
The joy of the celebration banquet gradually faded, and the star field returned to its former tranquility. The towering monument stood majestically, and the names of the heroes on the monument shone brightly in the sun, as if telling the story of that magnificent history.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li walked down the stage hand in hand, accepting blessings from all sides. The Gao family head and the Nan family head stood side by side, both with gratified smiles on their faces.
"Xingchen, Li'er," the head of the Gao family looked at the two of them kindly, "You have done a great job. You have protected the peace of the star field and won glory for the family."
The head of the Nan family also nodded in approval and said, "You are the heroes of the star field, and the pride of all of us."
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li smiled at each other, their hearts filled with happiness and satisfaction. They had gone through countless hardships and tests along the way, but they always supported each other, and finally defeated the evil and protected everything they cherished.
"Xingchen, let's go see Xiaobai," Nanli gently pulled Gao Xingchen's sleeve, with a gentle light in her eyes, "It helped us a lot."
"Okay," Gao Xingchen rubbed Nan Li's hair lovingly, "Let's go together."
Xiaobai seemed to sense their arrival and jumped happily at their feet, his snow-white fur glittering in the sun.
As time went by, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's love story spread throughout the star field and became a legend among people. Their love story is not only the love between two people, but also a symbol of courage and faith, inspiring countless young people to fight for their dreams and love.
However, they know that there are more challenges waiting for them in the future. The peace in the star field is hard-won, and they need to work harder to protect this hard-won peace.
On a quiet night, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood side by side in front of the window, looking up at the starry sky.
"Lier, have you ever thought about what will happen to us in the future?" Gao Xingchen asked softly, his eyes full of longing for the future and a hint of confusion.
Nan Li gently leaned her head on Gao Xingchen's shoulder and said softly, "No matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side."
Under the starlight, the two figures cling to each other tightly, as if they will never be separated...
However, the gears of fate have never stopped turning, and new adventures and challenges are waiting for them in the near future. Where will the future of Gao Xingchen and Nanli go?
