The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 279. I've Woken Up
A great victory is the end of that great war. A war that involved almost all the warriors of the entire land, out of anger and hatred, their hearts were moved to tear down their old enemies. The Devil has no Appeal.
In the streets of towns, villages and homes of every person, they always talk about the victory of the war among family, relatives and friends.
In the imperial capital of Song, the streets were decorated in such a way that they were dirty as soon as this feast was over. But all that does not take away the gratitude and pleasure of what has happened some time ago.
The Devil of No Appeal has collapsed, smashed apart unceremoniously. The emperor's army returned to the capital with this glad tidings that soon became a warm conversation throughout the Northern lands even beyond the Heaven's Wall Mountains.
A pair of White Dragons came to be known to people. Two heroes who can be said to be the main characters in that war.
A few days after the end of the war, local poets and literati began to make poems or poems about the event. They called it the Black and White Battle.

The girl sighed heavily while looking at the figure lying limp on the bed. To the right of the young man's face, there appeared a scar of red color that seemed to be a permanent wound.
It had been a week since returning from the war against the Unsurpassed Demons and Zhang Qiaofeng was still faithfully waiting for the young man in the bed to wake up.
The pleasure and joy of the people around him is ignored. His face has always looked gloomy in the past week because of the young man's condition that has not improved.
It was Lin Tian. In the final moments against Zhang Heng, his sword and Zhang Heng's sword simultaneously managed to pierce through each other's bodies.
Lin Tian was severely injured because of this. Zhang Heng's sword managed to pierce through his stomach and for some reason but Lin Tian was still able to live up to now.
According to the local healer as well as Chong San's observation, Lin Tian back then was a little evasive so that Zhang Heng's stab had nothing to hit the vital organs. So Lin Tian was just exhausted and felt excruciating pain, but did not risk his life.
But who was not worried after a week passed but the young man was not yet conscious. Zhang Qiaofeng was already too agitated until his appetite almost disappeared altogether.
The door opened and showed Fen Lian carrying a warm treat. He approached his young lady and placed the tray on the table.
"Eat first, miss. Pay attention to your health too" he said sadly.
"Hm...." Zhang Qiaofeng only muttered. However his eyes remained fixed on Lin Tian's face.
He secretly felt surprised at the wound on Lin Tian's right face. He thought of where Lin Tian had gotten that wound from before. But this girl stopped thinking about it because it wasn't very important.
"Miss?" fen Lian said later because Zhang Qiaofeng had not yet touched his food.
"Hm.." came back only a short mutter from Zhang Qiaofeng who was the answer. "You can go. I'll eat it later." Zhang Qiaofeng threw a faint smile.
It's always been that way for the answer this week. But every time Fen Lian came to pick up a dirty bowl, the food in the bowl was only reduced by no more than three mouthfuls.
"Don't worry about her too much, maids will feed her regularly every day."
"I know, she was fed too, right?"
Fen Lian clenched her hands to round her resolve. He remembered Zhang Hongli's order earlier and there seemed to be no other choice for now.
Fen Lian took out a bowl and also a spoon of lalo thrusting a mouthful of porridge for Zhang Qiaofeng.
"What's this?" Zhang Qiaofeng frowned confusedly.
"Grandfather you say, I have to feed you directly if you don't want to eat. I will continue to be here before this food runs out" said Fen Lian a little embarrassed to feed her own non.
"Eh...?"
Fen Lian was surprised to think that if she was threatened with being fed, she would eat. But how shocked his heart was when Zhang Qiaofeng did not want to eat alone unless he was fed by him.
"N-miss..this?"
"Why, grandfather commands you, right?"
There was finally no other choice. Not wanting to argue his nona, starting that day Zhang Qiaofeng only wanted to eat if fed by Fen Lian. Making one of the five Red Ghost members was extremely ashamed of having to endure this task.
...****************...
Ever since that battle ended, emperor Song had a meeting with emperor Chu. The point is that he discussed the matter of strengthening the relationship between the two empires, so that this incident of the No Appeal Devil would not be repeated.
According to the Song emperor, this disaster across the land was the result of two empires standing on their own. Couldn't help each other before one took the initiative to send a request for help.
Therefore, at the suggestion of the Song emperor, he wanted to unite the entire land.
Many opposed this opinion because they thought that Emperor Song had only taken the opportunity to rule the entire land. However, the Chu emperor was more likely to agree with Emperor Song's plan.
It would make sense to say that the Chu and Song empires were on good terms all along, but that was only the case. The two of them could not help each other because they were separated by the Heaven's Wall Mountains.
Emperor Chu Quon thought, if the rule on one land is a unity, then it is easier to maintain the situation on the whole land.
Finally, after a month since the end of the battle, the two empires had established a territorial union.
This agreement also invited representatives from the four families of sacred book owners. Zhang, Cin, Wang and Song. Because after all, the two empires were able to stand up due to the interference of these four families.
The decision reached the word consensus with the formation of a new empire called the Chang empire, of which the first emperor was the current Song emperor, Song Jie emperor. By pinning this new imperial name in front of the Song surname. Thus the first emperor of the Chang empire was named Chang Song Jue.
Since the Song family was one of the sacred families, the Chu emperor relented and proposed to make the descendants of the Song family the imperial family.
Presumably there was no rejection from the residents because after this news was spread, celebration parties occurred all over the land.
But still the same as before, all the fun did not also improve the state of Zhang Qiaofeng's heart that was grieving because all this time, Lin Tian had not yet awakened.
Tonight, the girl sat back to Lin Tian while looking at the thousands of stars in the night sky. It was as if the sky was celebrating the glory of this entire land.
"Huh.." a sad sigh full of sorrow sounded from his mouth.
Then, he felt a delicate palm touching his right hand from behind. He touched her back and almost cried if he was not arrested.
"Lin Tian..when are you gonna wake up....?"
Surprisingly, the sound of a sudden answer made him aghast and quickly look back. Then, the tears that he had been holding were no longer unstoppable and then fell to wet his pair of cheeks.
"I've woken up, just now."
