Chapter 387: Old love? New love?
Sang Luo paused, not expecting Yan to come back.
It made sense. Since the underground palace's restrictions had been triggered, he would have rushed back immediately. Sadly, she had written a letter when he left a few days ago, but she still hadn't received a reply. The treatment of a substitute and the original owner was indeed different.
"Xiao Luo." Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and he felt a little nervous.
Sang Luo was very calm, "What explanation do you want to give me, Lord God?"
"You...you know everything." His voice was hoarse.
What else could Sang Luo not understand?
Yan did it with her twice.
The first time was when she was seduced by the illusion of the charm potion and mistook her for the deceased princess of the red fox tribe.
The second time, she wore his fiancée's clothes, which reminded him of his beloved who was so beautiful but had a tragic life. It was then that he developed desire for her and used her as a container to vent his emotions and love.
Sang Luo felt that Yan was quite pitiful and pathetic. Even though he knew that his fiancée had left him long ago, he was still willing to fall into a false dream to make up for his regrets of the past.
She had a premonition that Yan would sometimes treat her with respect and gentleness, and sometimes show her a hint of affection. But when he looked at her, it was as if he was looking through her, at another person...
Yan admitted it.
"At that time, I thought she had returned and mistook you for her..."
"The God is well aware that the Red Fox Princess has long since departed. Isn't this excuse too lame?"
"I thought it was just a dream. I had dreamed of her more than once in the past, so that time..."
Sang Luo nodded and interrupted him, "I understand."
It would be a bit of a lie to say that she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Sang Luo felt a little upset. She had such a close relationship with Yan, it was unlikely that she didn't care, but the time they had spent together was too short, and she didn't have too many deep feelings for him. It was just that he really admitted in front of her that she was just a substitute for the Red Fox Princess. Anyone else would be extremely unhappy!
"I am packing up and leaving Qingqiu today. From now on, I will not bother you, Lord God."
It was the first time Sang Luo saw a man's emotions clearly fluctuate. Yan's breath stopped, and he walked quickly to her, staring into her eyes, with attachment and reluctance in his eyes...
Sang Luo smelled the light and pleasant herbal fragrance on him again, which made her very happy. At this moment, she couldn't help but think that Yan might have some feelings for her, or he didn't want to let go of the substitute he had found with great difficulty.
In the end, he did not try to persuade her to stay, and whispered,
"sorry."
"There's nothing to be sorry about. Lord God has helped me a lot, but I was the one who schemed against you first and took such a huge advantage of you. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you in this lifetime." Sang Luo shook his head and whispered, "It's just that I feel depressed."
Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his hand to touch her face. Sang Luo tilted her head slightly, took two steps back, and dodged.
Yan's slender jade-like palm paused in mid-air.
Sang Luo raised her head and gave him a dazzling smile, and Yan was stunned again.
She smiled maliciously, "Do I look a lot like the princess of the Red Fox Clan?"
Yan came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Your personality is very different from hers. She grew up with everyone's support, and she's often unruly and arrogant. You're a good person, and there's no need to compare yourself to her... I'm sorry, Xiaoluo, I was wrong."
"No matter how bad Her Royal Highness's temper is, the Lord God loves her very much."
Yan was silent.
Sang Luo smiled and asked, "How about me, Lord God? Have you ever liked me even a little bit? Really liked me?"
Yan did not tell her the answer, perhaps even he himself did not know.
After Sang Luo left the Shenzun Mansion, the old village chief Xu came over.
He saw the Lord God standing outside the door like a dry stone, staring at something in the distance for who knows how long. But there was no one in front of him.
Xu looked into the courtyard again. It was empty and deserted, with not a single person in sight.
"Sang Luoguici has left?"
"Yeah." Yan's fox eyes blinked slowly. The wind had been blowing for a long time, and they felt a little sour.
Xu sighed, "Alas! I am old and confused, and my mind is not clear anymore."
At first, he really thought that Sang Luo and Yan were just an ordinary quasi-master-disciple relationship. Later, when he thought about it carefully, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. Then he thought about Sang Luo's painting and the questions he asked later... Even though he was an old fool, he understood some of the reasons. Now when he came over and saw the reaction of the Lord God, he naturally understood everything.
Even as an outsider, he could see that the God liked her.
It’s just that the God has trapped himself all these years and refused to come out.
Yan was disappointed, "I betrayed Wan'er..."
The low and hoarse voice contained a hint of pain, but more of confusion.
Xu sighed softly, "The God and the Princess didn't complete their wedding, nor did they bear the seal of companionship, so how could there be any talk of betrayal? So many years have passed, it's time for you to let it go."
“…”
He advised, "You have stood vigil for Her Highness the Princess for a full 100,000 years, and have spent the first half of your life trapped in this pain. If Her Highness the Princess knew about this in the afterlife, she would surely want you to move on. Stop dwelling on the past and cherish the new person around you."
"Miss Sangluo is really good, smart and kind-hearted. She is worthy of your respect and trust."
Yan closed his eyes.
A full 100,000 years seemed like a very long time to him. He had grown old, and he could no longer remember many things from those days... The people in his memory also became increasingly blurred with time...
But Sang Luo's appearance became clearer and more vivid in his mind...
He can no longer see his own heart clearly.
Xu said,
"The old love has passed away, and it's time for you to open your heart again and accept new love."
"If you missed the scorching sun, don't miss the bright moon."
…
On the other side, after leaving Qingqiu, Sang Luo went back to the nearest Fenghuang Palace.
I want to ask Fei Yuan if he knows about the place called Wu Lianyu.
I don't know where this bitch has gone and she hasn't come back yet.
Besides him, the oldest was Minos.
Alas, Sang Luo used to dislike their age, but in the end, when they really encountered problems, they had to rely on these old antiques who had lived a long life and seen a lot.
Holy Palace.
Minos was taking care of his children in the garden.
After finishing his work at court every day, he spent most of his time taking care of the children.
The two children, Little Apple and Little Rose, also like to run and fly around in the garden, catch butterflies, and make garlands. They are very carefree.
Other beastly husbands all have some potential to be strict fathers. They devote themselves to cultivating their offspring's abilities, and some can even be considered strict.
Every time Sang Luo came here, he saw Minos playing with the children in the garden, but he had never seen him helping the children with their homework!
The two children are not very old but not particularly young either. They are very smart and precocious. Minos has not yet chosen a tutor for them. He is spoiling them too much!
A loving father has a spoiled son~
"Luoluo, you're here." Minos was making vanilla cake for the two children. He had just put a few small flowers on it when he saw her coming. A faint smile appeared on his gentle and handsome face.
