"That's all?" The emperor was speechless. He was still waiting for Lan Jinyu to continue. "What exactly happened in the secret realm?"
Lan Jinyu shook his head.
What does shaking your head mean?
Zhu Tong, however, while chopping wood with magic, took the time to reply, "Lan Jinyu and I got married."
"What?!"
The emperor was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. Zhu Tong...how could they get married?
Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Lan Jinyu explained listlessly, "In the secret realm, everyone lost their past memories, and a new memory emerged in their minds. In this new memory, we are all local villagers in the secret realm. We have no spiritual power and are equivalent to ordinary people. We worry about our livelihood every day. However, my second brother and I are luckier. Our families are wealthy and we don't have to worry about food and clothing. Zhu Tong... her family is relatively poor. She has a younger brother named Zhu Tianmiao. Lan Zheyu and I treat Zhu Tianmiao as a brother, so we gave the Zhu family a lot of food for free, and then..."
"And then you married Lord Zhutong?" The emperor thought it was ridiculous, but since Zhutong had personally admitted it, it must be true.
Lan Jinyu continued, "Master Zhutong and I didn't wear wedding attire or light wedding candles in the secret realm. Even the wedding ceremony was very simple; we simply bowed to the heavens and the earth... This kind of marriage can't be considered a real one..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Tong looked at him and said thoughtfully, "Do you want to get married again?"
Lan Jinyu said, "No, no, that's not it. What I mean is, we... can pretend we've never been married."
"Why?" Zhu Tong stopped what he was doing, squatted in front of Lan Jinyu, and asked seriously, "You want to divorce me?"
"No." Lan Jinyu quickly shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter to me as a man, but you are a woman, and I don't want to tarnish your reputation. You are willing to marry me in the secret realm because you don't remember your original identity. We have never had any physical contact, so after leaving the secret realm, we can each live in peace..."
Lan Jinyu is the youngest of three brothers in the family and is not in a hurry to get married.
"Physical contact?" The beast's brain circuits were clearly different from humans'. Zhu Tong thought for a moment, then reached out and touched Lan Jinyu's face, asking, "Does this count as contact?"
There was a slight chill in the temperature of her fingers, which was rather chilly and had a significant cooling effect. However, Lan Jinyu practiced fire-attributed exercises and was not afraid of the cold. His expression froze, and he dared not move or speak. He just stared at Zhu Tong blankly.
Zhu Tong's face was as delicate as white jade. When she lowered her eyes, her pupils showed a vibrant green, and her long lake green hair hung down behind her head. Only her expression was too cold, and there was an air of arrogance and indifference in her bones.
Ferocious beasts are naturally cold-blooded and emotionally indifferent. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhu Tong would never marry or fall in love. However, she had visited the secret realm of Baishan and truly felt the struggles of ordinary people. She had personally experienced the meaning of family affection, heartache, touching moments, and hope. These were all brought to her by Tianmiao. Although Zhu Tong still didn't understand what love was, she felt a strong sense of responsibility. Zhu Tong didn't feel like she was marrying herself, but rather that Lan Jinyu was marrying her. So, she decided to raise Lan Jinyu.
Since he wants to raise Lan Jinyu, Zhu Tong doesn't mind raising another Lan Zheyu so that the two brothers can be reunited.
The emperor also squatted down. He looked at Lan Jinyu and sighed, "You are so lucky. You have been in the secret realm for less than ten days and you have already found a powerful and simple beast wife."
Zhu Tong placed her cold fingers on Lan Jinyu's lips, slowly tracing the shape of his lips, and said, "You feel warm."
This reminded her of her younger brother Tianmiao.
A trace of nostalgia flashed in Zhutong's eyes, and she asked, "Husband, you didn't mind me sleeping with Tianmiao brother in the secret realm, so you probably won't mind now, right?"
The emperor couldn't help but ask, "Who is Tian Miao? What does he look like?"
Every ferocious beast is born by heaven and earth and has no brothers or sisters. If Tianmiao is a man, how can Zhutong sleep with Tianmiao?
This relationship is a bit messy...
The emperor asked, "Is Tianmiao also a vicious beast?"
He felt that the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard someone say...
That's right! He had heard Chenxi mention it. Chenxi had mentioned some time ago that there was a miracle doctor named Tianmiao who cured Jun Chenzhuang's throat.
Lan Zheyu explained to the emperor: "Tian Miao is either a vicious beast or a human."
Lan Jinyu looked at Zhu Tong and said, "If you really like Tian Miao, why not marry her? That way, you two can be together every day."
"Marry Tian Miao..." Zhu Tong suddenly realized why she hadn't thought of this before. This would give her a reason to hug Tian Miao every night...
Oh, I thought too much, Tian Miao is not here.
Zhu Tong clenched her fists and hammered the ground hard, but the ground remained flat, as if her fist had no power at all. But the next moment, a large number of bamboos fell down in the bamboo forest not far away.
The emperor glanced over there and said, "Lord Zhu Tong, would you like to move closer to the palace? There's good information there, and if Zhu Tianmiao comes out of the secret realm, he'll be able to get the news in time."
"It's useless. The door to the secret realm has been closed." Having said that, Zhu Tong turned around and went back to her room to carry out her bed. She had already practiced fasting, and the most valuable thing in the whole wooden house was this bed. Her "master" had specially collected rare jade and spiritual minerals from heaven and earth to build it for her. It was warm in winter and cool in summer, and it was very comfortable to lie on it.
Of course, only the ferocious beast felt comfortable. After all, there was no bedding on the bed and it was hard. Most people probably wouldn't like this type of bed.
Zhu Tong moved the bed, raised his chin towards the emperor, and said, "Lead the way."
"Do you agree to move?" The emperor looked up at the sky, suspecting the sun had risen from the west. Zhutong liked quiet, liked to be alone, and didn't like to talk to people. But now, he just casually mentioned that Zhutong should move, and Zhutong really agreed to move? It was outrageous!
The emperor was about to lead the way, but after a few steps, he thought of something important: "I came to the bamboo forest this time to find something for Prince Rui..."
As a result, he started listening to gossip halfway through the journey, and after listening for a long time, he had already forgotten that Prince Rui was still waiting for him.
"Wait a moment." The emperor hurried to get the star-guiding stone. The stone was buried underground behind Zhutong's house. While the emperor dug out the star-guiding stone, he thought, do I really want Lord Zhutong to live near the palace?
Today, Lord Zhutong was angry and knocked down all the nearby bamboos. Next time Lord Zhutong is in a bad mood, will he collapse the palace?
It seems that we need to think carefully...
