Chapter 480: In this lifetime, I just want to have three meals a day and four seasons with you
The entire Mu Continent was in an uproar, with everyone clutching their phones and spreading the news across various social media platforms.
Sheng Liuyun immediately called the backend operations team of his Weibo platform, ordering that the top ten trending topics must all be related to this matter.
The staff at Weibo’s backend urgently created ten trending hashtags, and in an instant, the news spread throughout the nation, even reaching other undersea countries!

As the trending topics exploded, Mo Yinhe was in the middle of a high-level meeting at the Royal Palace of the Atlantis Undersea Empire. Halfway through the meeting, he abruptly received a call from Ye Shen. He hung up, signaling for the meeting to continue, but Ye Shen, failing to read the room, kept calling, the phone ringing incessantly like a persistent summons.
Mo Yinhe, suppressing his anger, answered Ye Shen’s call with a frosty tone, "This had better be earth-shatteringly important..."
Before he could finish, he heard Ye Shen yelling over the phone, "Big brother! Your wife is the Queen of the Mu Continent! She’s about to become the Queen of the Mu Continent! The citizens of the Mu Continent are causing an uproar, demanding that she divorce you! They say the Queen of the Mu Continent must never lower herself to be a mere Crown Princess Consort of Atlantis!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yinhe’s right eyelid twitched violently.
At that moment, the Chief of Staff also knocked and entered, swiftly approaching Mo Yinhe. "Sir," he said, "a major event has occurred on the Mu Continent!"
Around the long conference table sat the most powerful people of the Empire, whispering to one another, still clueless about the major event that had transpired.
"I’m aware!" Mo Yinhe hung up the phone and looked up at the Chief of Staff. "Turn on the international news channel."
There was a giant screen in the conference room. The Chief of Staff found the international news channel. Soon, everyone saw the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Mu Continent holding a press conference. Many media outlets were on-site, inquiring about Si Mingjing becoming the Queen of the Mu Continent, and the Mu Continent’s Minister of Foreign Affairs was excitedly answering all questions.
The Chief of Staff looked at Mo Yinhe with sympathy. "Sir, if the Crown Princess Consort is the Queen of the Mu Continent, then in the future..."
Mo Yinhe’s expression was taut. He finally understood that his intuition against Mingjing going to the Mu Continent was right; once she went there, it would be very difficult for her to return. His deep voice, stubborn and resolute, stated, "No matter her identity, she is my one and only wife, Mo Yinhe’s wife!"
All the high-ranking officials present fell silent. Although what the Crown Prince said was true, they could already foresee that his marriage was destined to end in separation.
It was too tragic. After enduring five long years to finally bring his wife back, and now this... The air in the conference room was thick with unspoken sympathy.
Mo Yinhe, feeling it keenly, huffed heavily and ordered, "Meeting adjourned!"
After leaving the conference room and returning to his office, Mo Yinhe sat in his chair, leaned back, and closed his eyes to rest, his mind racing, pondering how to avoid the looming separation.
Give up everything in Atlantis and go to the Mu Continent to become her Male Empress? It’s not impossible!
Didn’t his father abandon his kingdom in A Country to come to Atlantis and wholeheartedly become his mother’s Male Empress? He, by rights, should surpass his father’s example!
At that moment, Si Mingjing’s call came through.
Mo Yinhe lifted his cool gaze, silent for a moment before answering.
Over the phone, Si Mingjing’s unusually charming voice came through, "Husband."
Mo Yinhe responded in a low voice, "Hmm."
Si Mingjing felt she had to call Mo Yinhe to explain; this was a significant matter. She had been pushed into an unexpected situation without any mental preparation and had become the Empress of the Mu Continent, ruling over countless people. Even now, she hadn’t fully calmed down or figured out a strategy.
Si Mingjing’s voice was tense. "Did you see the news?"
"I saw it."
Mo Yinhe’s voice, clear yet indifferent, made Si Mingjing’s breath catch; this man must be angry. She had promised him she would resolve matters on the Mu Continent within a month and then return to celebrate Xiaobai’s birthday. But now, not only had she failed to resolve anything, she found herself trapped on the Mu Continent, fearing she wouldn’t be able to return for some time.
"Are you angry?" She pressed her brow, saying sullenly, "Things happened so suddenly, I don’t even know how to explain them to you."
"No need for explanations." What’s destined to happen will happen; it can’t be avoided!
In any case, Mo Yinhe had made his decision. He had already endured five years of separation; for the rest of his life, he didn’t want to spend another day apart. If need be, he would give up everything in Atlantis to be her Male Empress. After that, I’ll be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower! Mo Yinhe mused, self-deprecatingly.
Si Mingjing, unable to see his resolute demeanor over the phone, thought he was so angry he didn’t even want to hear an explanation, which worried her even more.
She explained, "Actually, I didn’t really want to agree. But the Mu Continent, Gendaya, and Lemuria have always isolated Atlantis, and your political ideologies have consistently been suppressed by them. I originally couldn’t help with any of that. However, if I become the Queen of the Mu Continent, I believe my political stance, leaning towards yours, could perhaps ease the subtle and adversarial relationship between Atlantis and the other three undersea nations."
Mo Yinhe’s gaze softened. So, she decided to become the Queen of the Mu Continent to support my political ideals, to be my wise and helpful partner? His agitated heart felt as if a spring breeze had swept through it.
Si Mingjing waited for a moment, but when Mo Yinhe didn’t speak, she continued, "Actually, I’ve known for a long time that I am the Saintess of the Mu Continent. But I never revealed a single word because I didn’t want to be separated from you. This time, my identity was exposed quite unexpectedly."
"You knew already?" Mo Yinhe was surprised.
"I told you, the box Chen Fengdu gave me contained my memories—not current ones, but memories from tens of thousands of years ago, when I was still the Saintess of the Dragon Clan on the Mu Continent..."
Si Mingjing omitted the part about signing the Dragon Pact with him and then told Mo Yinhe everything about the memories she had regained.
She said, "We’ve been through so many upheavals over such a vast expanse of time to finally be together. The happiness we have now is hard-earned. Mo Yinhe, I won’t leave you, not ever. In this lifetime, I want nothing more than to share simple daily life, through all the seasons, with you. Beyond that, I ask for nothing else." Her words were sincere, expressing how much she treasured their time together.
Mo Yinhe listened, shocked and deeply moved. He knew he needed to complete tasks in a hundred small worlds to help her achieve rebirth. However, he hadn’t expected that, tens of thousands of years ago, they were already so inseparable and deeply attached to one another.
At this moment, Mo Yinhe’s resolve to become her Male Empress strengthened even more.
