Chapter 90 Good People Live Long
"I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to break the barrier so quickly. I thought it would take a few more years."
Xiao Yulan looked at the man standing in the void, alert: "Who are you?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...you should call me Master."
"Okay, I know what you want to ask. Do you see that silver ocean ahead? That's your spiritual consciousness. Once you get past it, you'll remember everything."
"That place may be beautiful, or it may be painful. You have to think carefully about whether you want to go there. If you don't want to go there, I can help you seal your consciousness again."
Xiao Yulan was resolute: "I want to go there, because I think... that place should be related to Ruo'er."
The man nodded. "You can go, but before that, someone asked me to ask you this for her. If Ruo'er were ever in danger, would you give up everything you have, even your own life, to protect her? Even if your soul were torn to pieces, never to be reborn, or if you were to fall into an endless hell and suffer untold pain?"
Xiao Yulan looked at the man in front of him, without a trace of hesitation in his eyes: "I will, as long as I am here, I will never let Ruo'er fall into danger."
"I will protect her with my life, even if it means falling into an endless hell, even if it means...making the whole world my enemy."
The man looked up and said with satisfaction: "Go ahead, I hope you won't regret your decision today."
Xiao Yulan walked past the man towards the silver sea not far ahead. The moment he entered the sea, countless fragments flooded into his mind like a tide.
"Who are you? This is my place, how did you get in?"
"Xiao Yulan, do you think this sea of flowers looks good? I can also bloom other flowers. Do you want to take a look? I'll bloom them for you, okay?"
"Xiao Yulan, what's wrong with you? Why are you covered in wounds? Did I cause you trouble by hiding here?"
"Xiao Yulan... I'm afraid I can't marry you. If there's an afterlife, I hope you and I can be ordinary people and be an ordinary couple, okay?"
"Xiao Yulan, don't cry... I like to see you smile."
Xiao Yulan opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and the hatred in his eyes was so intense that he wanted to set the entire space on fire.
"Boy, do you remember everything?"
"Yes, I remember it now. Back then... it was you who saved me, right? Thank you so much, Senior."
The man sighed, "It's not that I want to save you, it's mainly because... someone can't bear to see her precious disciple sad."
"Now that you remember it, there are some things you should know. The collapse of the world didn't kill Ruo'er, but..."
"Ruo'er came to the human world this time to hide her life. Those people haven't given up looking for her. Once she is found, the events of her previous life will repeat themselves."
"Unless you have the ability to fight them while also preserving this world."
"I have temporarily hidden the revelation of the Destiny Stone. I don't know when it will appear again. You should hurry up and cultivate. If you can't break through, you should first return to the strength of your previous life."
"Oh, and Ruo'er was forcibly reincarnated this time. Her consciousness is damaged and she can't remember her past life. You should not tell her until she remembers. Let her live a happy life."
After the man finished speaking, his figure gradually disappeared. Xiao Yulan turned around and looked at the silver ocean with red eyes. Those memories hurt his heart all the time.
Ruo'er, I couldn't protect you in my previous life, and I won't do that in this life. In this life, I must kill all those people first.
As for what’s happening in this world...it’s none of my business. I just want you to be safe.
In the study, Cen Nan was anxiously pacing around.
"Should I tell the princess? I think I should, but the prince said not to..."
"But if anything happens to the prince, the princess will kill me..."
"Hmm...how about asking Dr. Jin to come take a look first? But the princess said he's a loser who can't do anything except acupuncture. Ah! What should I do? What should I do?"
"How about... I try to take the prince's pulse? It didn't seem that difficult to take the pulse when I saw Doctor Du before..."
"Yes, yes, yes, let me check your pulse..."
"Ah! Your Highness, you are awake? That's great, it's really great. If you don't wake up, I will go crazy. It's dark now."
Cen Nan helped Xiao Yulan up and was so happy that he almost cried.
"Where is the princess now?"
"Princess? She should be in Chaoyang Garden looking at the stars right now. It seems that Dr. Jin is there too."
Xiao Yulan nodded, stood up and walked out.
Cen Nan followed behind without daring to slow down, for fear that his prince would faint again.
But...why did he feel that his prince was different after waking up this time? But he couldn't put his finger on what exactly was different.
In the courtyard of Chaoyang Garden, Bu Ruo was lying on a rocking chair, listening to Jin Congcong reciting across from her with a heavy grunt.
"You're wrong, Bi'er. Deduct one ounce of silver."
"Well... deduct another one or two."
"Jin Congcong, this is the next page. You got it wrong, so I'll deduct five taels from your score."
Jin Congcong was so anxious that his face was covered in sweat: "Wait, stop deducting money, stop deducting money. If you keep deducting money like this, I will have to pay you back after I finish memorizing it."
"I originally said I'd check on you in three days, and it's already been two days and you still can't recite it. Do you blame me?"
Jin Congcong gritted his teeth: "You didn't say that I would be given a hundred taels of silver if I recited it correctly, and if I recited it wrongly, you would deduct it from the amount."
"If you had told me earlier, I would have memorized it carefully. It's one hundred taels. I would have memorized it even if I had to stay awake for three days."
After Jin Congcong finished speaking, he leaned over with a flattering look on his face: "Ruo'er, I remember you have a very thin book? Can I recite that one? This book is too thick and too complicated..."
Bu Ruo glanced at him and said, "That book is useless to you. This one is the best. It doesn't matter if one hundred taels is not enough. You still have your monthly silver. If this month's is not enough, you can always memorize it."
Xiao Yulan stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at Bu Ruo, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowing: "Ruo'er..."
"Your Highness is back. You are truly my savior. I will go back first without disturbing you and Ruo'er."
"Ruo'er, I'll be leaving when the prince comes back. Tomorrow night, I'll come back to ask you to recite it. I promise, for the sake of the one hundred taels of silver, I'll memorize the entire book even if I don't sleep tonight."
Jin Congcong turned around and left as if he wanted to fly. When passing by Xiao Yulan, he whispered, "Prince, can you come back earlier these nights? Good people live a long life, a long life."
Xiao Yulan: ...
Cen Nan:......
Seeing Xiao Yulan standing at the gate looking at him intently, Bu Ruo stood up and walked over: "What happened tonight? Why are you back so early? Aren't you busy anymore?"
