Chapter 1623

Ma Dingdang was not blaming Jiang Chen.

She was just distressed by the tragic fate of her ancestor.

At the same time, she couldn't help but think in her heart that if Jiang Chen hadn't bitten Xu Fu, these things might not have happened.

Jiang Chen said softly, "I am also very sorry about Ma Ling'er. Back then, I hadn't been awake for long when Xu Fu came before me. He begged me for three days and three nights, and I was finally moved by him and bit him."

"If I had known such things would happen, I would never have bitten Xu Fu, no matter what."

Ma Dingdang heard Jiang Chen's "sorry" once again, but the more he said such things, the more uncomfortable she felt; Jiang Chen clearly knew that what she wanted to hear were not words like "sorry" or "apologies."

Ma Dingdang forced herself to shift her attention, fearing that the more she thought, the more distressed she would become, and she would be unable to stop herself from shedding tears.

Her magic power was something she had obtained through years of hard practice; if it disappeared because of a single tear, it would truly be a loss that outweighed the gain.

She looked at Su Xuan and said, "Thank you for telling me the truth."

Su Xuan said, "It's nothing. Even if I hadn't told you, the Exorcist Dragon Clan Ma family, after so many years of investigation, has actually already uncovered the truth. If you are willing to go back and ask Ma Danna, she would also tell you the truth."

Hearing Su Xuan mention her aunt Ma Danna, a complex look appeared in Ma Dingdang's eyes.

She said softly, "Forget it. I have already been expelled from the Ma family, and how the Ma family fares has nothing to do with me anymore."

Although she said that, she actually still cared very much about the Ma family; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Su Xuan about the origin of the Ma family curse.

At the same time, after learning the truth from Su Xuan, she thought of another thing.

"Since the First Emperor Seeing Ying Zheng was bitten by Xu Fu and became a zombie, how did the Qin Dynasty perish?"

Ma Danna had guessed that perhaps the fact that the First Emperor became a zombie was discovered, and then some master subdued the demon and killed the First Emperor, causing the Qin Dynasty to perish.

As it turned out, she heard another version from Su Xuan.

"After Ma Ling'er died, Xu Fu, having personally experienced Ma Ling'er's powerful strength, dared not stay in the Central Plains any longer, fearing he would be eliminated by some master, so he disappeared without a trace."

"It was also after Xu Fu disappeared that the First Emperor finally realized what kind of monster he had become."

"He had to rely on blood to survive."

"Thus, he fell into deep self-reproach. To avoid his existence bringing disaster to the people of the world, he chose to fake his death and escape, actively avoiding the world. Afterward, even when the Qin Dynasty perished in the second generation, he chose not to intervene."

"Later, in order to hunt down Xu Fu and make this culprit pay the price, he also left the Central Plains."

"To be able to voluntarily abandon power and let the dynasty perish, this First Emperor is truly admirable!" After learning the truth about the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Ma Danna couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Initially, upon learning that her ancestor Ma Ling'er died because of the First Emperor, she had once felt resentment toward him, believing he was indeed the "tyrant" described in history books; now it seemed that was not the case.

He was also a victim.

Su Xuan also sighed in his heart; if one only looked at the first part of the original work, Seeing Ying Zheng abandoning everything and choosing to live in seclusion was indeed admirable. Unfortunately, in the modern era, the things he did were truly unworthy of his status as the First Emperor.

He actually fell in love with a woman from a foreign land.

A dignified First Emperor, having lived for over two thousand years, what kind of women had he not seen? As a result, he actually went and believed in so-called love; it was simply absurd.

Of course, if one connected it to the title of the TV series and the theme of the second season, it was not surprising.

The theme of the second season was precisely love!

The final ending was also Kuang Tianyou relying on love to defeat Jiang Chen.

After sighing, Ma Danna's gaze became solemn again, "Since Xu Fu escaped and the First Emperor did not die, and they are zombies, does that mean they might have lived until this era?"

This was extremely important information.

Su Xuan did not deny it.

"They are indeed both still alive. Although you have been expelled from the Exorcist Dragon Clan Ma family, your magic power remains. If you are lucky, you might just encounter them. As for whether you choose to avenge your Ma family ancestor and deal with them, that is up to you."

Ma Danna's eyes flickered, and she did not say whether she would avenge Ma Ling'er.

The time point that followed.

Ma Danna and Jiang Chen exchanged a few more words, then waved goodbye to Jiang Chen and Su Xuan.

Her departing figure appeared somewhat lonely.

Because from this day on, she was no longer a member of the Exorcist Dragon Clan Ma family, and at the same time, she knew who Jiang Chen truly loved; in other words, on this day, she had lost everything.

However, soon, the sense of loneliness revealed by Ma Dingdang's figure disappeared.

Her pace also became light.

Because Ma Dingdang tried hard to think of some happy things.

Admittedly, she had been expelled from the Ma family, but looking at it from another angle, the duties and tasks borne by the Ma family had nothing to do with her anymore.

From now on, she was a free and unfettered person.

She was a bell dancing in the wind, not restricted by anything.

"Truly a remarkable woman!"

Su Xuan watched the departing Ma Dingdang, sensing some of her state of mind, and evaluated her as such.

Jiang Chen also nodded in agreement, "Dingdang is indeed unique."

If she weren't unique, he, the Zombie King, could not have fallen in love with Ma Dingdang.

"Now that you have bid farewell to Ma Dingdang, what do you plan to do next?" Su Xuan asked Jiang Chen again.

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, "The day of Nuwa's return is drawing closer; I need to make some preparations."

From now on, he would no longer travel in the mortal world as a mortal.

He would begin to take things seriously and prepare for Nuwa's return.

It seemed like there were still many years until Nuwa's return, but for Jiang Chen, who didn't know how long he had lived, a few decades or a few hundred years were nothing more than a fleeting moment.

Su Xuan didn't say much more, just wished Jiang Chen good luck, and then left.

After parting ways with Jiang Chen, Su Xuan continued to travel across the world. He did not completely integrate into human society like Jiang Chen, nor did he go to get a university student identity to experience it.

To the dusty mortal world, he was a thorough bystander; he witnessed the changes in the world, witnessed everything.
