Lan Ziye smiled, patted Xiaobai on the head and said, "Don't worry, we're not going to fight this time, we're going to a dance!" After a pause, he added, "I just think you haven't seen your own kind in a while, so I want to take you out to see some!" After a pause, he added, "When the time comes, you'll transform into a human form and follow me!"
"Is it really possible? Can I really turn into a human and follow my master?" the white cat said in surprise.
Lan Ziye nodded with a smile.
"Meow!" The white cat happily rubbed its head against Lan Ziye's hand, and even turned over to play happily. It looked so cute.
Lan Ziye helplessly rubbed the white cat's furry belly and said, "Alright, let's go back to the Shikigami space and recuperate!"
"Meow!" The white cat called out happily again and disappeared in front of Lan Ziye.
The next morning, the head of the Lan family, accompanied by Lan Yanfeng, came to Lan Ziye's door in person.
Hearing a knock on the door, Lan Ziye opened it sleepily. Seeing that it was Lan Yan, she instantly remembered that Lan Yan wanted to take her to worship the ancestors. She apologized hurriedly, "Sorry, I forgot about that. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes now!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lan Yan and Lan Yanfeng to react, he slammed the door shut again, leaving Lan Yanfeng and Lan Yan looking at each other in confusion.
After everything was packed up, Lan Ziye opened the door again and went to the ancestral hall with Lan Yan and Lan Yanfeng.
After thousands of years, the only thing that remains unchanged is probably the Lan family ancestral hall, which still maintains its antique and elegant style. Rows of memorial tablets are neatly arranged, and the entire hall is spotlessly clean, giving Lan Ziye a feeling of déjà vu.
But...what's up with the portrait in the center of this ancestral hall???
Lan Ziye pointed at the extremely ugly portrait of a woman with a shaking finger and asked, "Who...who is that?"
She was so familiar with the family head's robe in the portrait! The kitten embroidered on the cuffs was something she had pestered the embroiderer for a long time before the embroiderer reluctantly embroidered it on an inconspicuous part of the cuff. From ancient times to the present, there is only one such piece in the entire Lanxuan Continent!
"That's the portrait of our Lan family's last Patriarch with purple pupils, the 38th Patriarch of the Lan family, Patriarch Ziye! Of course, the Patriarch sacrificed himself to seal a demon king. He was only 15 years old when he died!" Lan Yan sighed. "That Patriarch was the most talented and powerful Patriarch of our Lan family. If he hadn't died young, our Lan family wouldn't have fallen into such a state. You have to know that our Lan family was the most powerful family in Lanxuan University back then, and the Purple Pupil family throughout the generations were the strongest among the strong..."
Lan Yan rambled on and on, while Lan Ziye's heart burned with rage: Which bastard said she was dead? And which damned painter painted this portrait? She promised that when she got back, she would kill that painter first. He had made her look ugly for thousands of years! (???_??)?
Lan Ziye touched his nose unnaturally, trying his best to control his emotions, and interrupted Lan Yan: "That... I remember there was no rule of hanging portraits in the ancestral hall before!" She was very familiar with the Lan family ancestral hall. It was bare and no portrait of anyone had ever been hung there!
Lan Yan looked bewildered and said, "This portrait has existed since ancient times!"
Well! It all started from the moment she disappeared three thousand years ago! (ー_ー)!!
Lan Ziye looked speechlessly at the portrait that only slightly resembled herself, which was so majestic that it had no peers, and was so ugly that it was beyond belief. She sincerely wanted to tear it up right then and there. Of course, she did so...
