Kong Lanyou’s tears, falling to the ground, actually made a tinkling sound.
Each tear was condensed into a crystal clear bead, emitting a glittering light.
With her cultivation, a drop of blood was enough to drip through a mountain;a single hair was enough to cut through a river.
A tear drop, naturally, also had infinite holy power, and was 100,000 times more expensive than even the most valuable pearl in the world.
The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit picked up a teardrop, roughly the size of a green bean.
Instantly, a layer of white holy light surged out and wrapped its small paw.
Amazing divine power actively surged towards the Swallowing Rabbit’s body, causing its entire body to emit crackling sounds.
In just a short moment, the strength of its fleshly body had clearly increased a bit.
“Good stuff.”
The Swallowing Elephant Rabbit’s eyes revealed a greedy glow as it grabbed the teardrop and stuffed it into its mouth.
It had already seen that the white-haired woman wasn’t an enemy, so it ate without fear.
At this moment, the white-haired woman had embraced Master Dust, and was most likely one of the lovers that Master Dust kept outside.
The Swallowing Rabbit always felt that Master Dust had gone a bit too far in doing so, after all, County Lord Smokey was right beside him.
Even if you are the Crown Prince, with an extraordinary and honorable status, you should still restrain yourself a bit and not be so blatant.
Under the heavens, which woman is not jealous?
However, when the swallowing elephant rabbit saw the teardrops that kept falling to the ground, it no longer thought much about it and immediately pounced on it, picked up the teardrops, and stuffed them into its mouth.
Eat six grains, swallowing elephant rabbit noticed something wrong, only feel bloated, there is a burning power, from the inside out.
A single teardrop, contains quite terrible divine power, ordinary people simply can not digest, will be propped up to death.
The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit, however, was very greedy and swallowed six grains in a row.
The six teardrops, like six small suns, hung in its body, holding up its body bigger and bigger, finally becoming tens of meters tall, with flames coming out of its body.
A huge flaming rabbit appeared in front of the crowd.
“Master Dust, help ……”
The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit was screaming miserably as it rushed towards Zhang Ruochen.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was catching up with Kong Lanyou, the two of them were reunited after a long time, they had a thousand words they wanted to pour out, they didn’t want to pay any attention to the Swallowing Elephant Rabbit at all.
Kong Lanyou’s palm swung as if he was swatting away a fly, sending the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit flying tens of feet away.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the Swallowing Elephant Rabbit and revealed a smile, not worrying about it.
This rabbit was so divine that it could consume even the Red Blood Divine Soil, it would never die from swallowing six teardrops.
Kong Lan You stood in the snow, her long hair, whiter than snow, hanging down to the ground, her pair of bright eyes still containing water mist, saying, ”Eight hundred years ago, I thought that you had left me forever, never to return. For eight hundred years, I don’t know how I spent my time, and it seems that I only do two things, cultivation and revenge. Eight hundred years later, yet you reappeared again, allowing a woman whose heart had already died to see a faint glimmer of hope again.”
“Do you know how shocked my heart was when I first heard about you? How joyful? How terrified?”
“Cousin, you really are so cruel, what kind of bitterness is there that actually allowed you to lie to me twice in a row. As I recall, you never used to lie to me, you have always been so open, you have always been most caring to me. Don’t you know that after every time you lie to me, my heart will be torn apart once?”
Immediately after that, on the ground, another tinkling sound resounded, and a large number of crystalized teardrops were rolling.
Eight hundred years of emotions were cathartic at this moment, and it was simply impossible to collect them.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was fixed on Kong Lanyou’s face as he let out a long sigh.
Originally, he thought that Kong Lanyou was no longer the Kong Lanyou of the past, and that eight hundred years would definitely change a person completely.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen realized that Kong Lanyou had never changed.
The one who had changed was actually him.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to meet Kong Lanyou’s eyes and stared into the distance, saying, ”I didn’t think that after eight hundred years, you would still be so persistent. Could it be that time can’t dilute one’s emotions?”
With a poignant look, Kong Lanyou asked, “Have you been laughing at me in your heart, thinking that I am still as stupid as before, and that eight hundred years have passed, and I haven’t been able to become wiser?”
“No.”
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a long time before he stretched out a palm and gently, stroked the long hair on Kong Lanyou’s head as he silently recited in his heart, “I’m sorry, cousin shouldn’t have lied to you, nor should I have suspected you.”
Kong Lan You’s face, gently leaned over, placing it on Zhang Ruochen’s chest, closing her eyes, stretching out a pair of snow-white crystalline jade arms, tightly hugging him.
At this moment, she did not have a trace of the majesty of the Bright Hall Sacred Ancestor, and only a happy smile surfaced at the corners of her mouth.
Eight hundred years had passed, and she had indeed not changed at all.
There are always those people who have the most sincere and clean emotions, and no matter how much time has passed, their hearts are still spotless and still look the same.
Just as Kong Lan You said, for eight hundred years, she might have really only done two things.
Cultivation and revenge.
“Master Dust, help ah …… is about to burn to death …… can not be ……”
The flames on the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit’s body burned even more vigorously as it charged towards Zhang Ruochen once again.
Kong Lanyou once again sent it flying out, this time, to dozens of miles away, very much not wanting it to run back again.
In the distance, Qing Mo saw Zhang Ruochen and Kong Lanyou embracing together, and above her small face, a displeased look appeared, lightly biting her lips, she said, ”County Lord ……?”
Huang Yichen passed over a look, interrupting what she was going to say next.
Zhang Ruochen and Kong Lanyou talked about many things together, both childhood memories and some of their experiences over the years.
For some sensitive matters, the two of them maintained a tacit understanding and did not mention them, obviously not wanting to ruin the current atmosphere.
Kong Lan You’s mood, had completely stabilized, with a smile on her face at all times.
“There’s one thing that I still need to tell you, I’ve already gotten married to County Mistress Smokey.”Zhang Ruochen tried his best to say in a calm tone.
Kong Lanyou pursed his lips, and in an instant, the smile on his face, disappeared cleanly.
“Brother Dust, don’t you want to introduce us to each other, in the end, we are already family now.”
Huang Yichen walked over and stood with Zhang Ruochen, rarely revealing a cold and frosty look, instead, she wore a light smile.
Zhang Ruochen pointed to Kong Lanyou and said, “Cousin, Kong Lanyou.”?Zhang Ruochen again pointed to Huang Yichen and was about to be introduced.
Kong Lanyou, however, spoke up first and said, “There’s no need to be introduced a second time, I know that she’s your wife, Huang Yichen. Cousin, I just want to ask you one thing, so soon you have already let go of Chi Yao?”
“What’s already in the past, why should I bring it up again?”
The smile on Zhang Ruochen’s face retracted, and without answering Kong Lanyou’s question, he turned around and stared at the tombstone in the distance.
“For the next period of time, I will stay behind to guard the tomb for Mother Empress.”
Kong Lanyou did not force Zhang Ruochen to answer her question and said, “I will accompany you.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and added, “When I entered the Tomb Forest, I saw the war corpses left behind by the Corpse Catching Ancient Race, and there were traces of battle there. Was it you who repelled them?”
“I never left this place.”
Kong Lan You’s eyes revealed a gaze of contemplation and shook his head, suddenly, as if he thought of something, he added, “Maybe it was that person.”
“Who?”Zhang Ruochen said.
“That person should be the Tomb Keeper, in the Imperial Tomb Forest, I have encountered him more than once. Only, every time, he hid in the shadows, he thought he could hide from my five senses, but he didn’t know that I had already detected him long ago.”Kong Lanyou said.
There was actually a real Gravekeeper, and Zhang Ruochen was instantly much more relieved.
With the strength of the tomb guardian, coupled with the Emperor-level formations in the Imperial Clan’s tomb forest, even if the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan’s methods were no matter how subtle they were, I was afraid that it wouldn’t be easy to steal the corpses of their successive generations of ancestors.
Right at this moment, in the distance, the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit once again let out a strange cry, dragging a long string of flames, and darted back, “Master Dust, help ah …… I just saw a ghost, he’s still chasing after me, wanting to eat me, fortunately I was able to shake it off.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned straight away, feeling a bit of a headache, wanting to slap the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit into unconsciousness so that it wouldn’t always be in a state of shock.
Qing Mo stood behind Huang Yichen, covering her lips and letting out a hefty laugh as she asked, “The Imperial Tomb Forest, has a sacred power that can remove ghosts and demons, and won’t give birth to evil things. Pots and pans, your head wouldn’t be burnt, right?”
“No, there really are ghosts that look like living people.”
Pot Pot Pot rushed to Qing Mo’s face and kept gasping for air.
Seeing that the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit was speaking seriously, Qing Mo instantly believed a few points, and with some curiosity, asked, “That ghost, what exactly does it look like?”
While gesturing with his paws, Pot said, “It was an extremely hideous looking old Taoist with a mouth full of yellow teeth and lewd eyes, who almost grabbed my tail and said he wanted to eat me. Luckily, I ran fast enough, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
Zhang Ruochen saw that the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit was speaking seriously and revealed a cautious expression.
“Wow…”
A pale humanoid figure appeared into Zhang Ruochen’s field of vision.
From Zhang Ruochen’s mouth, a soft eep escaped and he immediately looked towards the center of the square.
Only to see that an immortal-looking old Taoist, wearing a wide Taoist robe and carrying a wine gourd in his hand, truly like a ghost, appeared out of thin air in front of the crowd.
The hairs on the pot’s body all stood up, pointing at that old Taoist, screaming: “Ghost ah! Master Dust, that one old ghost!”
In Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, he merely flashed a look of surprise and did not show too much emotional fluctuation.
Kong Lanyou’s cultivation was so profound and unfathomable that no matter if the old Taoist was a foe or a friend, he was afraid that he wouldn’t dare to make a move.
The reason why he was surprised was simply because Zhang Ruochen had met the old Taoist once at the banquet of the Cai Clan’s Sacred Mansion.
At that time, everyone thought that he was just a martial arts loose practitioner who cheated people out of food and drink.
Kong Lanyou walked forward, a powerful fluctuation of holy power emanating out, forming a layer of holy qi halo, his pupils as bright as two stars as he issued a warning, “This place is not where you should be, why don’t you retreat immediately?”
The old Taoist’s gaze, fixed on Kong Lan You’s body, revealed a scornful look in his eyes.
Afterward, the old dao turned to Zhang Ruochen, knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands together, and said, “Thirty-six Heavenly Deities of the Dragon Protector Pavilion, Zhao Jie, by order of the Pavilion Master, guarding the Imperial Tomb Forest. As His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, the last general had to come out to pay his respects.”
Obviously, the old Taoist had been hiding in the shadows, observing Zhang Ruochen’s every move until he was completely sure of Zhang Ruochen’s identity before he finally showed himself.
