Zhuanxu smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to be so pessimistic. Although Chang'e cannot leave the Guanghan Palace, you can visit her often. After the dust settles from the great battle below and order is restored to the world, it won't be so difficult for you to go to the Heavenly Court again."
Zaun fell silent. Not to mention that the Lich War had led to the complete withdrawal of the Lich and Demon races from the historical stage, Zhuanxu of the Heavenly Court might not be able to make decisions at that time.
Even if everything in Heaven remains the same, he will still leave this world.
Other worlds await his salvation, and the cycle of reincarnation awaits his perfection...
Once she leaves this world, it means the Mermaid Queen will have to spend countless years in solitude, and it's unknown how she will be able to endure it.
At this moment, Zhuanxu looked at Yun Yuqing beside him: "Oh, you must be the one Wu Hui mentioned. You do indeed have the purest Heavenly Emperor bloodline. It's just a pity that your potential is hidden and the power within your bloodline has not yet been activated. Child, come with me, I will help you unlock the power of your bloodline."
Yun Yuqing glanced at Zu An subconsciously, seemingly sensing their concerns. Zhuanxu laughed, "Speaking of which, she is also my descendant. How could I harm her? Awakening the power of bloodline requires some ancient rituals..."
Zu An nodded slightly: "Yuqing, I'll come pick you up later."
He also gave her a look, and Yun Yuqing nodded in understanding. He had given her a teleportation talisman before, and he would come immediately if there was any danger.
With a flick of his sleeve, Zhuanxu lifted Yun Yuqing up in a white cloud, and the two flew away into the distance.
Zu'an then headed towards the direction of the Moon Palace.
As he flew, the once magnificent celestial palace became increasingly desolate, and the surrounding air was no longer as sweet as it had been at the beginning; instead, it had a chilly feel to it.
A solitary palace floated in the distance, as if at the end of the world.
Looking at the three elegant characters "Guanghan Palace" on the plaque, Zu An couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. The calligraphy alone gave people a sense of emptiness, loneliness, and coldness.
He gently pushed open the gate. Unlike other places in the Heavenly Court, the courtyard was not filled with exotic flowers and plants. There was nothing here except a withered ancient tree, which filled the space with a sense of desolation.
Zuan looked puzzled. Shouldn't there be a cassia tree in the Moon Palace in mythology?
Could this be the one? But this tree is completely dead.
Squeak~
Just then, the door to the room in front of him suddenly opened, and a beautiful figure stood in the doorway, staring at him in disbelief.
"Brother Zu?"
"Suyin!"
Even though it had only been a short while, her beautiful face looked noticeably haggard.
Her eyes were red and swollen, clearly she had cried countless times in recent days.
Hearing that familiar voice, the Mermaid Queen's eyes filled with joy. She couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Zu'an's arms, hugging him tightly: "It really is you, it really is you..."
Feeling the other person's slender arms tighten around him, almost painfully, Zu'an felt even more pity for her. She must have been living in constant fear these past few days: "I'm here..."
A series of crisp sounds rang out, and pearls had fallen all over the ground. Zu An felt that a large patch of his clothes was wet. He gently patted the other's pink shoulder: "I already know what happened before. Before coming to the Heavenly Court, I killed Pang Meng to avenge you."
"I don't want revenge, I just want to be with you," the mermaid queen sobbed.
Zaun had never seen her like this before. The Mermaid Queen had once captivated a powerful figure in the world with her elegance and maturity, but now she was like a little girl. Clearly, what had happened had terrified her to the extreme.
Thinking about what Zhuanxu had just said, he felt even more distressed.
The mermaid queen cried for an unknown amount of time, until she was exhausted and fell asleep. Looking at her baby-like sleeping face, Zuan gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks and combed the few messy strands of hair at her temples.
The other party has probably not slept a wink since such a sudden turn of events.
He carefully carried the other person into the house, where everything was very simple: a table, a chair, and a bed.
Zuan noticed that the bed seemed to be made of ice. He frowned, but ultimately couldn't bear to put her on it. Instead, he sat on the bed himself and gently held her in his arms.
This slight noise startled the mermaid queen awake, and she gripped Zaun's sleeve tightly with both hands: "Don't leave me!"
Zuan felt a pang of pain in his heart and gently stroked her face: "I haven't left, I'm here."
The mermaid queen then showed a hint of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."
Although she only had a short sleep, she felt much better.
"If I encountered someone like you, I might not perform as well as you." Zu An smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
"Nonsense, you're so amazing, you can handle anything. I love seeing how calm and collected you are even when facing dire situations." The mermaid queen wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes no longer filled with tears, only boundless tenderness.
“I’m not actually that powerful…” Zuan added inwardly. For example, right now, I can’t save you from leaving the Moon Palace.
Thinking of this, he felt somewhat unwilling and stood up, saying, "I'll take you out!"
After saying that, he flew to the distant South Heavenly Gate with the mermaid queen in his arms. When he saw the mermaid queen in his arms, Zuan was both surprised and delighted. Who said that one cannot leave the Moon Palace?
The Mermaid Queen seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and said with a bitter smile, "It's no use. I've tried before. Although I can leave the Moon Palace temporarily, I will return soon."
