Chapter 637: The more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes
The breakup with Lu Yichen happened too quickly and consumed too much energy.
At that time, Zhong Nian Yao didn't even have time to think about many things, and her soul was almost completely dissipated due to the accident.
Now that she thought about it, there were indeed many strange things about it. However, at that time, she had no time to think too much about it.
Lu Yichen also figured out the trick, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "No matter who is behind all this, I will not let her go."
Zhong Nianyao smiled and said nothing.
However, at this moment, her feelings were exactly the same as Lu Yichen's.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, you have both recovered all your strength and memories. It's time to return."
Seeing the two of them reconcile, Yuan Hao finally felt relieved and moved on to another matter. "Everyone in the Nine Heavens and Qingqiu is waiting for the master's return."
Lu Yichen lowered his head and looked at Zhong Nian Yao beside him without saying a word.
He didn't care where he was. As long as he could be with Zhong Nianyao, then no matter where in heaven or on earth, it was home to him. He now put the decision in Zhong Nianyao's hands, and she would decide where they would go.
"We won't go back for now." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "I still have some unfinished business there, so I don't plan to leave for now. Once things are settled, we will naturally return."
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, Yuan Hao felt something was wrong and couldn't help but persuade her, "Your Highness, you and the Lord have both recovered your memories. Isn't it inappropriate for you to continue staying in the human world? Besides-"
"We've made our decision."
Before Yuanhao could finish his words, Lu Yichen spoke directly, his cold eyes falling on Yuanhao, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
But this simple sentence made Yuanhao feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
How could he have forgotten? This wasn't just any ordinary person, but the Lord of the Nine Heavens—Lord Yichen. The ruler of the Four Seas, the Eight Desolations, the Heavens and the Earth, the Three Realms—he was not someone he could question.
His knees buckled, and Yuan Hao knelt down, admitting his mistake. "I overstepped the bounds."
Lu Yichen didn't show any mercy because of Yuanhao's confession. He continued in a cold voice, "Get up! If there is a next time, you will be punished yourself."
Yuan Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up. However, even though he stood up, his legs were still weak.
Just now when Lu Yichen was scolding Yuan Hao, Zhong Nian Yao did not say anything.
Seeing that Yuanhao had stood up, Zhong Nianyao said without hesitation, "Yuanhao, you should go back to the underworld first! As for the fact that Yichen and I have returned to the spirit realm, there is no need for you to tell anyone. When the time comes, we will naturally return to the divine realm."
Yuan Hao raised his head, glanced at Zhong Nianyao, then glanced at Lu Yichen, and finally replied respectfully, "I understand. Miss and Wang, take care."
Since the two people in front of him were not planning to go back for the time being, it was useless for him to continue to persuade them. Moreover, the Lord's body had fully recovered its strength, and His Highness Yaoxi was also doing well.
The two of them were both very powerful, and no matter what problems they encountered, they would definitely be able to handle them easily. So he didn't need to worry about them at all.
Yuanhao left quickly.
Unlike the heavy steps he took when he came, his steps were much lighter and he was naturally in a good mood.
It wasn't until Yuanhao's figure disappeared from sight that Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but complain, "Yichen, how could such a person be the King of Hell? Why didn't I see it before?"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's description, Lu Yichen laughed for a moment. He shook his head and continued, "You know Yuanhao's personality. Although he looks like that, he is still very reliable."
Zhong Nian Yao shook her head in amusement, and then realized belatedly that the surroundings seemed a bit messy.
"What's going on? Why is the bottom of the cliff like this?"
It's not that I think the bottom of the cliff must be covered with green grass, mountains and water, but it shouldn't be such a mess! There are flowers, plants and trees that have been uprooted everywhere.
The place was in a mess, as if it had just experienced a huge disaster.
Hearing Zhong Nianyao mention this suddenly, Lu Yichen felt a little guilty for a moment. Because it was him who caused everything here.
Just now, all his attention was on Zhong Nian Yao, so naturally he had no extra energy to pay attention to everything around him.
He raised his hand and waved it, a divine power flashed, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically.
The mess on the ground disappeared, replaced by a thriving and prosperous scene. Flowers and plants were everywhere, trees were shady, and there was a small pond not far away.
The bottom of the cliff looks like a small paradise.
Seeing Lu Yichen's attempt to cover up his crime, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but roll her eyes. Then she laughed and teased, "So all that mess just now was your doing!"
Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nian Yao gently, but did not say anything in reply.
Although Zhong Nianyao said this, she didn't mean to force Lu Yichen to answer. So, when faced with Lu Yichen's silence, she didn't continue to ask.
Then, as if remembering something, Lu Yichen couldn't help but tighten his grip on Zhong Nianyao's hand, and then he said, "Yao'er, where were you just now?"
After hearing Lu Yichen's question, the smile on Zhong Nianyao's face froze a little, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, "Yichen, you didn't know! At the bottom of this cliff, there is actually a trace of my soul."
"Even when I was up there, I could already feel a strong attraction to this place. It turned out that it was this remnant of my soul that was pulling at my heart. It was also because of the return of this remnant of my soul that my spirit and memory were all restored."
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Lu Yichen's eyes flashed with understanding, "This is a good thing."
If that wisp of soul is missing, Zhong Nianyao's soul will definitely not be able to recover.
However, sometimes he also wondered whether recovering her memory was a good thing for Zhong Nianyao. Would she be happier as a mortal?
Looking up, he saw that Zhong Nianyao's mood seemed to have returned to normal. Lu Yichen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
