Chapter 28 Relationship: Who knows, she might become my mother someday...
After thinking this through, Ying Bu Ran relaxed a lot. Then he thought of something else and looked at Zhao Chao An with a hint of joking: "By the way, it seems that your attitude towards your mother has changed a lot before and after?"
Zhao Chaoan seemed to have been paused for a moment, standing there motionless and silent.
After a while, she tilted her head to the side and whispered, "This isn't it, oh, originally we were just strangers as collaborators, but now our relationship has changed, hasn't it?"
Ying Bu Ran blinked, a little confused: "Changed?"
Zhao Chaoan didn't expect Ying Bu Ran to start asking detailed questions about this. He fanned his wings a little embarrassedly: "You might become my mother someday... Let's not talk about this anymore. Look, you're yawning. Go to sleep."
Seeing Ying Bu Ran rubbing his eyes and beginning to feel sleepy, she quickly changed the subject, fearing that he would pursue the matter any further.
Ying Bu Ran chuckled softly, noticing Zhao Chao An's shyness. Although she didn't know what she was shy about, she knew that if she continued to ask, Xiao Bird would definitely get angry. She nodded and said, "Okay."
She tucked in the corners of the quilt, tidied up the bird's nest made of clothes beside her, and then prepared to go to sleep.
Zhao Chaoan jumped back to his nest and turned to Ying Bu Ran. Just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard Ying Bu Ran say, "Thank you."
She suddenly opened her eyes and found that Ying Bushan was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, only his slightly hurried breathing gave her away.
What she heard just now was not an illusion. Ah Ran was really thanking her!
Zhao Chaoan buried his head under the bird's wings. If it weren't for the black bird feathers covering it, who knows how red his face would have been.
I don’t know if Ying Bu Ran accepts their relationship now, but there has definitely been a big progress between them.
This was the first time Ying Bu Ran took the initiative to open his heart to her, and she would always remember this day.
This day was a historic one for her.
After secretly rejoicing for a while, Zhao Chaoan moved a little closer. When he felt that Ying Bu Ran's breathing had become stable, he jumped out as quietly as possible and flew out of the window.
Taking this opportunity, she wanted to confirm something.
Outside the house, Jiang Liuyan confirmed that Ying Bu Ran was fast asleep, then extinguished the calming cigarette and turned around to leave when he saw a black bird emitting a faint green flame.
If it weren't for the will-o'-the-wisp fire surrounding it, she wouldn't be able to see the bird.
Zhao Chaoan met Jiang Liuyan's gaze and flapped his head with his wings, feeling a little awkward. He racked his brains for an opening line, finally coming up with two words: "Hello?"
Jiang Liuyan: “…”
Jiang Liuyan: "Hello."
The man and the bird looked at each other, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air between them.
Zhao Chaoan coughed twice and took the initiative to start the topic again: "By the way, how are you doing now?"
Being besieged by three ancestors, the outcome would definitely not be as easy as described earlier. Ying Bu Ran didn't see it, but she could see that Jiang Liuyan's fire was still weaker than that of a normal person.
Jiang Liuyan glanced inside the room. Ying Bu Ran was soundly asleep. She raised her hand to cast a barrier and said, "After the battle, I recuperated for a while. With Qu Lingyou's help, although I haven't fully recovered, it's not a big problem anymore."
"Qu Lingyou? That doctor?" Zhao Chaoan thought about it and seemed to have some impression of him. He remembered that he was a very...eccentric medical practitioner, and of course his temper was unpredictable.
Jiang Liuyan nodded and said, "Yes, she was originally an elder of the Wanxiang Sect. Because she violated some taboos regarding 'Heaven's Wrath', she was expelled from the sect and executed. I happened to pass by and saved her. After that, she has been staying in Zhuifeng City. This time, it is also thanks to her presence."
If it was that guy, then there really wouldn't be a problem. Maybe he could even help cure Ying Bu Ran? Zhao Chaoan dragged the bird's beak with her wings and fell into deep thought. Jiang Liuyan didn't interrupt her, letting her continue thinking.
After Zhao Chaoan thought about all sorts of messy things, he looked at the fire on Jiang Liuyan's body that symbolized vitality. Although it was a little weak, it did still have strong vitality.
"Oh, I'm glad you're okay." Zhao Chaoan nodded.
Jiang Liuyan raised her eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect you to care about me? I thought you were the kind of person who didn't care about anything."
She still remembered the first time she met the Ghost King. His head was almost raised to the sky, and he looked at everyone with an expression of displeasure and unwillingness to look at them. He really had the capital to do so.
There is a world of difference between her and another person who looks just like her.
The youngest Ghost King established his own power in a short period of time and was not at a disadvantage among the forces of the four Ghost Kings.
Zhao Chaoan froze for a moment, lowered his head, flapped his wings, and then stood still: "Because you are Ah Ran's mother..."
How could she possibly offend her future mother? She also wanted to gain more favor.
Jiang Liuyan thought about the interaction between the two people she had seen before, and she already had a rough answer in her mind. Seeing that Zhao Chaoan didn't mention it, she didn't ask another question, "Is there anything I can help with now? About you two."
Zhao Chaoan thought about it and nodded. "Indeed, I need a body that can move and fight freely in the mortal world. As you can see, I'm a ghost. I don't have a physical body. Strictly speaking, I'm an energy body. Now I can only transform into an animal like this to avoid being discovered. Fighting also requires restraining my strength, which is very inconvenient."
She had noticed this when she was fighting against another ghost king's clone before. Although she defeated the clone, it was very difficult, which was not conducive to their subsequent actions.
Jiang Liuyan gently nodded Zhao Chaoan's head, and roughly understood Zhao Chaoan's situation: "I understand. I will help you find a body to possess in the next two days. I can give it to you the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Zhao Chaoan flapped his wings and thanked from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, you really helped a lot."
"No need to thank me. We all have the same demands. It's normal for us allies to lend a hand." Jiang Liuyan waved her hand, turned around and prepared to leave. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Zhao Chaoan flew in front of Jiang Liu and said quickly: "Well, there is actually one more thing."
Jiang Liuyan: "What?"
Zhao Chaoan took a deep breath and said in one breath: "What do you think of us?"
Zhao Chaoan didn't dare to look up at Jiang Liuyan, but after waiting for a long while without a response, he became even more anxious. He couldn't help but slightly raise one eye to glance at Jiang Liuyan.
"I don't think my opinion is important," Jiang Liuyan gently stroked the bird's head and said softly but firmly, "What's important is your attitude and feelings towards each other. As long as you feel that you are a good match for each other, that's all that matters."
Her words undoubtedly gave Zhao Chaoan a shot of reassurance and made her feel relieved.
"What should I call you now? The Ghost King, or Zhao Qingxun? Or another name?" Jiang Liuyan asked again. After this, the relationship between them would slowly change, and calling him the Ghost King would seem strange.
She is an experienced person. Although her daughter does not seem to feel this emotion now, it is obvious to the naked eye that she has a special relationship with the Ghost King.
"Just follow Ah Ran and call me Zhao Chaoan. Zhao Qingxun... that identity is too far away from me, and to be honest, I don't really want to be associated with that cowardly guy," Zhao Chaoan said. Then she added seriously, "Also, thank you."
"I'll be going back first. See you tomorrow." She flapped her wings and returned to her original position, snuggled up to Ying Bu Ran and closed her eyes.
Jiang Liuyan watched this scene and chuckled. After returning to her room, she poured two cups of tea and pushed the other cup to the other end of the table before saying, "You should have heard it, right?"
Yun Xiangwan emerged from the shadows and took a sip of his teacup without hesitation. "Yes, I heard that. What a coincidence! I do have a puppet body. I just need to strengthen it before I can use it. However, that puppet body needs to be sent back for repairs and maintenance regularly."
"It's okay. Xiaoran can go home and have some rest during the maintenance period. You must have something else to talk to me about, right?" Jiang Liuyan asked.
Yun Xiangwan nodded. "Well, there are two things. One is that the traitor died suddenly. The toxins in his body exploded and killed him instantly. The doctors were unable to save him."
Jiang Liuyan narrowed her eyes slightly, not expecting the other party to react so quickly. "Looks like they've noticed. What's the second thing?"
"Someone from the Liuyun Sect is coming."
