Chapter Ten Stay

  She looked up at him with a radiant glow in her eyes, recalling memories of the past and finding herself again. This had always been her greatest wish. But... if she stayed here, what about Zeran? Zeran had always been so good to her, sacrificing so much for her sake. As Shen Yuke was the prince, with his help, it shouldn't be difficult to find her family and her past.

  "Miss Zhiyan, what's wrong?"

  She twisted her sleeves with her hands, lowered her head, and looked somewhat despondent.

  "Don't you want to?"

  "No, this is what I most want to achieve... just that..."

  "Worried that this king doesn't have this ability?"

  "Not either..."

  "Since neither of them is, what else can be worried about? Let He Le live here peacefully, and tomorrow morning, tell me again about your affairs."

  “……”

  Shen Yuqing took a few steps forward, but was suddenly stopped by Zhi Yan, "Crown Prince, why are you helping me?"

  "This king thinks that helping someone needs a reason?" As soon as Shen Yuqing's voice fell, she suddenly stood still, emitting a faint blue glow all over her body. She didn't believe that someone would help a stranger without any reason or request for help. Ze Yan had told her before that people's hearts are hard to measure, and she had made deals with many people, seeing the unpredictability and danger of human nature from their memories more than once. Zhi Yan slowly walked forward, preparing to read Shen Yuqing's memory as before, but a golden light suddenly shot out from Shen Yuqing's body, striking Zhi Yan and knocking her to the ground, just like what happened when she tried to pry into Ze Yan's memory.

  She clenched her teeth and furrowed her brow, put away her usual composure, covered her chest with her hand, and endured the pain as she returned to her own room.

  "Sister? Are you hurt?!" Le'er was sitting in the room leisurely drinking tea, saw Xing Yan get injured, nervously jumped up from the chair, and helped Xing Yan lie down on the bed, "I'll help you treat your injury."

  "Your own true energy hasn't recovered yet and you're here to help me? This little injury of mine is nothing, but what about you, having just transformed into human form and losing more true energy this morning because of helping me..."

  "Hehe, sister, I'm not in the way, I hurt myself on purpose so as not to arouse their suspicion. Just now, your conversation, the butterfly here told me everything, are you really going to stay?" Le Er looked at her with a mischievous expression that was tinged with seriousness.

  "I want to know who I am, and more importantly, what I am like in Zeran's eyes. He is a god who has lived for tens of thousands of years, and his heart is something I can't understand or fathom. He cares about me, takes care of me, yet deliberately keeps me at arm's length. I..."

  "Sister wants to know how important you are in brother's heart?" Seeing Zhi Yan nodding, Le Er clapped her hands excitedly and laughed, "Since sister wants to do this, Le Er will definitely help sister. No matter where sister goes or what she does in the future, Le Er will always follow by sister's side."

  The fluttering red petals enveloped the two, under the faint red light, Zhi Yan leaned into Yue Er's arms, with a happy smile on her face. This warmth and happiness seemed to have been felt long ago, where was it?

  Suburbs of Ning City.

  Zeran hurried back early, and when he arrived at his familiar small courtyard, he found that it had become a pile of ruins. He looked at the collapsed house and the charred marks in the yard, his body trembling constantly. Yan'er, where is she? What happened here, could it be that Tianjun's people came? No way, there was a powerful seal set up here, and when he rescued her before, he was extra careful, Tianjun couldn't have known that Zhiyan had been rescued, let alone know she was here. When he returned from the divine realm, Tianjun didn't make any moves either. And Le'er is also gone, what's going on!

  Zeran closed his eyes, and the expression on his face was extremely painful. The dark clouds in the sky gathered, and the sound of thunder rumbled again. With a loud crash of lightning, a blue ice phoenix rose into the air, its mournful cry echoing with the thunder, resounding through the nine heavens...

  "Zeran……it's really you." A flash of silver light, a woman in purple gauze suddenly appeared in front of Zeran, her face covered with white thin gauze, a pair of beautiful eyes like the crescent moon in the starry sky, shining with excited light.

  "It's you..." As soon as he saw the person clearly, Ze Ran immediately transformed into a human form, his face cold and expressionless, with a layer of frost. He turned his head, not even wanting to glance at the woman.

  "Are you heartbroken for her again?"

  “…………”

  "You dislike me so much? You don't even want to see me?" The woman asked Ze Ye, her eyes shining with tears.

  Zeran coldly laughed and said, "Third Princess is wrong, this emperor doesn't dislike you, but hates you. I hate that I couldn't make your soul scatter."

  This woman is Tian Jun's third daughter, Ying Dai. She had deeply admired Ze Ran from the moment she first saw him, but unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, Ze Ran never gave her a serious look. "You're still thinking of that demon, I've said it before, you two won't have a good ending!"

  "Shut up, you have no right to talk about her, and even less right to call my name."

  "Hahaha... Yes, I'm not qualified..." Xing Dai laughed loudly, with a hint of madness in her eyes, "But you still can't be together, she won't come back, will never come back... She's such a monster, that place is where she belongs!"

  She laughed maniacally, laughing and crying at the same time, then walked away unsteadily, turning into a silver light that disappeared from Ze Ran's line of sight.

  After calming down, Ze Ran anxiously searched the surrounding mountains, asking all the mountain spirits and tree monsters, but none of them had seen Zhi Yan and Le Er. Just then, he suddenly noticed that there was a flickering firelight in a nearby broken temple, as if someone was inside. Could it be Zhi Yan and Le Er? Ze Ran's heart skipped a beat with joy, and with a spell, he instantly moved to the front of the broken temple, only to find that there were indeed people inside, but they were several burly men.

  "You bunch of idiots, can't even take care of a person! What else can you do besides eating?"

  "Big brother! This is all second brother's fault! He took a liking to that pretty girl, but who would have thought that the girl was a monster! One eye blue and one purple, with a tail behind her back, you don't know how terrifying it is!"

  "What monsters? What nonsense about monsters! It's clearly your fault for being so stupid and letting them escape! Now look at the mess you've gotten us into, how am I supposed to explain this to the Sixth Prince?"

  A loud crash, the half wall of the broken temple disappeared, the strong wind swept in with heavy rain, extinguishing the fire in front of several people, and then appeared in front of them like a ghost, his eyes flashing blue light in the darkness, plus his silver hair, looked terrifying in this environment.

  "Tell them where you are and what have you done to them!"

  The crowd had already been frightened out of their wits, and they all knelt down on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy. "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer! Great Immortal, spare our lives! We don't know who you're talking about!"

  Zeran's voice was icy cold, and he glanced at the person kneeling on the ground, kowtowing desperately. He said in a cold tone, "The girl you mentioned earlier, and also that young man in red clothes."

  "It's all, it's all Second Brother!" A small servant pointed at the man and trembled with voice, "He had a lustful heart, wanted to take advantage of that girl, and even beat up that young boy. This has nothing to do with me, none of my business!"

  "Old Five, you!"

  "That girl is... a monster... no, she's... an immortal fairy. She scared us away and then disappeared... should be... should be..."

  "It was the scholar who was tied up with us who left." The bandit leader said loudly. This person in front of him, whether he was human or ghost, no matter what, had been helped by the Sixth Prince and even if it meant death, could not expose the Sixth Prince and let him fall into trouble.

  Zhang Yan clenched his fists, and his joints cracked. "Where is that scholar from?"

  "He should be from Ningcheng."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Ze Ye disappeared into thin air in front of a group of people. He stood on the cloud, looking at Ning City under the stormy rain, and his hanging heart finally put down some.
