"Yes, your older sister will protect you." Huanhuan opened her eyes and answered smoothly, clearly not asleep.
Fu Yunchen: "...Can you be by his side all the time? Also, he's a boy, he should be the one protecting you."
“I don’t need his protection.” Huanhuan sat up cross-legged. “I can raise Gu. Besides, didn’t Mother become an empress? When Mother was in the temple, she told the mountain god that she would do everything in her power to bring happiness to the people, protect Father from being harmed by villains, and that Aunt Hongmi would find a good husband…”
Fu Yunchen listened to Mu Run's prayers, especially... to avoid being harmed by villains?
Him?
Mu Run mumbled something, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Fu Yunchen said to Huanhuan, "Keep your voice down."
"Boss, Ziwu has woken up and says he wants to see you," Hongmi reported from outside the carriage.
Fu Yunchen let Tuantuan and Huanhuan play together while he got out of the carriage.
Ziwu and Hongmi rode two horses, one in front of the other, following the carriage.
Fu Yunchen gestured for Hongmi to get into the carriage, while he rode a horse.
Hongmi got into the carriage and glanced inside. Murun was sleeping, and the two children were playing together.
He didn't go into the carriage, but sat on the shaft and acted as the driver.
Zi Wu looked somewhat dazed. As he walked with Fu Yunchen, he forced himself to stay alert and said, "Sorry!"
Fu Yunchen: "It didn't cause a major disaster, so it's alright."
Conversely, if it leads to disaster, it will not be treated lightly.
Zi Wu smiled wryly, relieved. "Yes."
"What happened?" Fu Yunchen asked.
Zi Wu replied, "I found Xiao An in a secret place. At the time, she was consuming a man's life essence. I intervened to save the man, but I didn't expect... that man was actually her puppet, putting on a show. I was captured and my mind was bewitched. She must have gotten a lot of information out of me."
Fu Yunchen said, "Yes, she has already vanished from this world."
Zi Wu was startled, and turned to look at Fu Yunchen, "Really?"
"It was purified by the mountain god."
"A mountain god? Does Chongyang Mountain really have a mountain god?"
“The mountains and rivers of Lingchuan are inhabited by deities. You are a black sorcerer, shouldn’t you know this better?”
"Never seen it before."
"Are there no gods on Yunlong Mountain?"
"No. The guardian beasts of Yunlong Mountain left a long time ago. The king is practically a guardian deity of Yunlong Mountain, able to communicate with the mountain range."
"No wonder he wanted to go back to Yunlong Mountain to evolve." Long Qian became the guardian god of Yunlong Mountain, so even if he became a spirit, he might not be able to leave unless a guardian god of Yunlong Mountain took over.
"Take good care of yourself. Long Qian should be here soon. He's not exactly easy to please, so you'll be very busy then." Fu Yunchen stretched out his long arm and patted his shoulder to reassure him and tell him not to worry.
"Yes." Ziwu remained dejected.
Fu Yunchen understood that Ziwu was a rather arrogant person, and being ambushed by a corpse man must have made him very resentful. In addition, since Xiao'an had been completely wiped out, he had nowhere to vent his anger, so it naturally turned into sadness and frustration.
As dusk approached, the sunlight gradually sank in the west.
The convoy arrived at the foot of Chongyi Peak, where many people were already waiting to greet them.
Steward Yang will remain here to take charge for the time being and will not go to the Chongyang Palace.
This time, Mu Run brought Cai Shi back, which can be considered a family reunion.
When Mu Run saw Steward Yang from afar, he said to Cai Shi, "Sister Cai, you should go home today. You don't need to serve me here anymore."
