In the path of cultivation, one should naturally take all kinds of resources. Although this jade coffin doesn't seem to have any special properties, it could still fetch a huge sum of money if sold. These days, he has truly experienced that cultivation is an incredibly expensive hobby.

The group then walked out of the ancient tomb. The people from Zu'an were relatively calm, while the young people from the demon race all felt like they had survived a calamity.

After emerging, perhaps due to the elimination of demonic energy, all the traps and mechanisms along the way returned to normal, the mist in the forest disappeared, and the eerie stone statues quietly lined both sides of the road.

Even the giant beasts in the swamp at the beginning seemed to know that they must be formidable if they could come out of there safely, so they all hid and never showed themselves again.

On the way, while checking Qiao Heng's injuries, Zu An privately asked him if he knew Qiao Xueying.

Qiao Heng's eyes lit up immediately: "The Snow Princess who has made great contributions to our Elf Clan, who in the entire clan doesn't know her? Besides, she's actually my distant cousin."

He finally understood why Zaun had saved him; it seemed that this person was Snow White's good friend from the human world.

Taking the opportunity, Zu'an inquired about Xue'er's current situation, and Qiao Heng answered one by one. Finally, he added, "Princess Xue is doing well. In addition, there is another happy event recently. She is very likely to be chosen as the Crown Princess."

"Crown Princess?" Zu An's eyebrows shot up immediately. Was that bird-man really his nemesis? "No..."

"Is she a princess from the Peacock Clan?"

Qiao Heng nodded: "Princess Nanwu and Princess Xue of the Peacock Royal Family have the best chances. Of course, Princess Changning over there is not impossible, but she is far inferior to the two of them in all aspects."

He was somewhat worried. Judging from the human man's tone, he seemed to have an extraordinary relationship with Princess Xue. However, how could he compete with the Golden Crow Prince, especially since he was a human? It was destined to be impossible for him to be with Princess Xue. It was better to give him some mental preparation in advance to avoid disappointment later.

At the same time, he secretly glanced at the three women, Yu Yanluo, beside him. Come to think of it, he already had three such peerless beauties by his side, so he shouldn't be too heartbroken.

Zu'an was naturally not sad at all. He could simply snatch the defeated Golden Crow Prince from him again.

loubiqu.

On the contrary, he was quite surprised that Kong Nanwu was also the most popular candidate. They were going to choose a Crown Princess, but instead of her cousin Kong Nanjin, who was busy running around trying to seize the opportunity, why did she go to the human world so far away?

Just then, the sky began to lighten, and everyone couldn't help but look up, wondering how the Marquis of Sui and Lady Yu were doing now.

At the top of a distant cliff, a stunningly beautiful woman held a gaunt man in her arms, gazing at the sunset. Her beautiful eyes were already wet with tears. She knew that her husband was clinging to life by demonic energy, and that the sun had a strong ability to suppress demonic energy; even at his peak, he dared not stay under the sun.

Given the current situation, when the sun rises, it will likely be him...

The emaciated man in his arms was none other than Sui Hou. With the demonic energy dissipating, he could no longer maintain his body, which is why he visibly withered away. He sighed, "Do I look terrible now?"

“No,” the woman shook her head and said firmly, “you will always be the upright and loyal servant in my heart.”

Sui Hou reached out and wiped away the tears on her cheeks: "You should be happy for me. After thousands of years, I am finally free, and you have been successfully resurrected. I have no regrets anymore."

"But what's the point of me coming back to life without you!" The woman's voice was trembling with tears.

"You mustn't do anything foolish," Suihou suddenly realized something, "I've spent thousands of years of effort to finally bring you back to life..."

Halfway through his explanation, he realized that this approach wouldn't dissuade the other party, so he changed his excuse: "You can help me investigate what happened with that demonic energy back then, which would also be a way to avenge me."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, a glint of light appeared in the eyes of the stunningly beautiful woman, as if her hope and fighting spirit had been rekindled.

Only then did Sui Hou feel completely relieved.

"It's been many years since I've heard you play the piano."

"No, all I want to do right now is hold you, and hold you for as long as I can."

...

The two nestled close together, whispering sweet nothings that had been accumulated over thousands of years. However, as the conversation progressed, Suihou's voice grew softer and softer, and it was mostly the beautiful woman speaking.

Before they knew it, the first ray of sunlight shone down, and Suihou's entire body turned into specks of light. A gentle breeze blew from the mountaintop, and he completely vanished with the wind.

The beautiful woman was already in tears.

Third update... I was actually a little nervous when I set my goal last night, unlike before. I didn't have much confidence this time, but I still managed to achieve it in the end.
