"How old are you this year? You look very young. When I say young, I don't mean young in appearance, but young in demeanor and temperament."
"In fact, I've also seen quite a few demon goddesses. Although they appear ageless, when you meet and talk with them, you can still sense their different demeanor. They're either indifferent and indifferent, or willful and capricious. Even though they're sitting right next to you, it's like they're from another world thousands of miles away."
The queen spoke of the past slowly, and didn't seem to care whether Loran Hill answered in time.
"I'm actually not very clear about my age, but I haven't been awake for very long, maybe less than 20 years." Loran Hill spoke truthfully.
"Do you often fall asleep?"
"Yeah, sometimes I get sleepy."
"It's very hard, I know." She took Loran Hill's hand and held it gently.
"Having power beyond the ordinary sometimes brings with it a sense of increased responsibility."
“It’s more painful to be unable to save something when you clearly could have done it than to have no hope at all.”
"Ordinary people can have all kinds of reasonable excuses and reasons to escape, but for us, these are not appropriate."
“When it becomes everyone’s hope, failing to do it becomes a sin.”
“People won’t judge a drunk on the street harshly, but they will judge an emperor by the same standards as a saint. If they are not careful, they will attract all kinds of criticism.”
“Because when people are in that position, they’re not just living for themselves.”
"This is also the reason why many immortals and goddesses, who clearly possess powers beyond the ordinary, rarely reveal them to the public."
"Disclosure means fame, and fame in turn binds one's behavior."
The queen spoke of her own insights and seemed to be helping Loran Hill analyze the pros and cons.
"I said some inexplicable words without realizing it. I hope you don't mind. Actually, I rarely see anyone I can talk to, so I couldn't help it for a moment." The queen turned her head and looked at the girl next to her.
"No, in fact, I am very grateful to Your Highness for telling me these things."
"What a good child! I feel like you're a little different from those goddesses. Perhaps it's because you're still young."
"I heard before that you were planning to return to the Western Continent after the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival?"
"Yes." The girl nodded.
"Is there any family member over there that you miss?"
"Family... maybe not, but there are some good friends." Several faces emerged in Loran Hill's mind.
"Hehe, this is not bad, it's better than being alone."
"After you go to the Westland, you can come back occasionally to visit. I look forward to you telling me stories about the West."
The queen and Loran Hill chatted briefly about family matters, occasionally mentioning her childhood, when she had not yet married into the palace but lived in the mountains of Norland.
"The villagers there raise a large bird with black and blue feathers. It usually carries people across canyons and travels between the mountains... The local indigo dyeing technique is also very good. The bed I slept on as a child was all indigo-dyed printed cloth, which is washable and long-lasting."
"In ancient times, Norlan Continent belonged to a small nation called Youya. This nation was descended from one of the six nations of Bluebird. It has many high mountains, covered with snow year-round. However, some valleys have a mild climate, suitable for growing fruit trees and crops, and have nurtured a large population."
"Between the snow-capped mountains, a small river fed by snow flows down. The water is cold and clear. It winds along the valley, and small towns are dotted around it like pearls..."
"In autumn, the mountains become cold, and people work in rough, ugly coats filled with bird down. Although they are not beautiful, the warmth in the mountains at night brings peace of mind."
Time passed slowly as I listened to the queen talk about the past.
After a long time, a burst of shouting and noisy sounds gradually came from the foot of the mountain, and the queen stopped narrating.
"It seems that tonight's talented people have arrived." She turned her head to look at the girl.
"I remember one of them was your senior from the same school and made it to the finals."
"Yes, that's Senior Brother Gu Lie, who is of the same generation as us in the sect."
"The Xiangyu Sect is indeed full of talented people. From the distant past, there are the three great masters, Qingyu Shangxian, and more recently, you, Gu Lie, and Jin Hua. It seems that the inheritance of the Burning Incense Immortal will not decline easily."
"You must be getting bored after sitting with me for a while, haha. I'll ask Xiaoyu to come and play with you for a while, and then when the party starts, you can come and join us."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Afterwards, the queen gave an order to the female official beside her, and soon a young girl dressed in a gorgeous blue and black gauze dress came over. She was the daughter of Prince Huainan, Xiao Yubing.
She had a beautiful face, a graceful figure, and walked towards him with light steps.
"Grandma Queen, you called me?" She happily leaned into the Queen's arms and acted coquettishly.
"Well, you're not a kid anymore, so you can't act like you did in the past."
After briefly educating her granddaughter, the queen introduced her to the silver-haired girl beside her.
"This is the Golden Sparrow Priestess, Luo Lan, who will be ordained tonight. She is from the Huangyu Sect and was the one who resolved the disaster in the Sunset Mountains last time."
"I see you two are about the same age, why don't you do something together tonight? Yu Bing is familiar with this area, so she can take Luo Lan for a walk."
"Yes, no problem, Queen." The girl agreed cheerfully, then turned her gaze to Loran Hill beside her.
