Chapter 774 Retreat
To be honest, Ye Lang had forgotten all the bad things Zhao Yarou did in the past a long time ago. Now he just thought that Zhao Yarou was a very good sister-in-law, and now he felt that having her around was not a bad thing.
During these three years, Zhao Yarou put aside her queen status and has been learning to take care of Ye Lang. Although it was a mess at the beginning and she made a lot of jokes that made Ye Lang laugh and cry.
However, it also brought back many memories for the two of them, memories that were filled with a touch of warmth!!
Zhao Yarou was a very persistent person. She would never give up on something she believed she could do. Ye Lang had no doubt about this because Zhao Yarou had proven it more than once.
In this way, Zhao Yarou began to learn slowly, and she began to become proficient in everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. It must be said here that Zhao Yarou not only has an abnormal personality, but also an abnormal talent. Nothing can stop her.
Speaking of cooking skills alone, Zhao Yarou asked Ye Lang for advice, read the information in the library tower, and combined with her own research, she quickly captured Ye Lang's stomach, making Ye Lang's evaluation of her higher and higher.
At this moment, Zhao Yarou seemed to understand something. If a woman wanted to capture a man's heart, it was actually very simple. She just had to capture his stomach. At least that was the case with Ye Lang.
As long as you can make something delicious for Ye Lang, he seems to be getting better and better to you. At this time, Zhao Yarou understood a little better why Ye Lang liked Zhen Xiaoyan so much.
This is not only because Zhen Xiaoyan is well-behaved, but most importantly, it is because Zhen Xiaoyan can cook.
Zhao Yarou also asked Ye Lang how her cooking compared to Zhen Xiaoyan's, but the answer she got always made her depressed and it never changed.
Ye Lang’s answer is always, “The fat woman’s food is the best, but yours is not bad either!”
This is also due to talent. No matter how hard Zhao Yarou tries, she can't compare to Zhen Xiaoyan, because Zhen Xiaoyan not only has talent, but she has also never slacked off.
In other words, while Zhao Yarou was working hard, Zhen Xiaoyan was also working hard. However, since Zhen Xiaoyan's talent and starting point were much higher than Zhao Yarou's, it was impossible for Zhao Yarou to catch up with her.
Of course, this won't hinder Zhao Yarou's culinary improvement. In Ye Lang's words, only by constantly surpassing yourself can you surpass others! !
Zhao Yarou was just depressed about this, because she knew that everyone had different advantages. Although she was not as good as Zhen Xiaoyan in cooking, she had advantages in other aspects.
And now, Zhao Yarou feels that her biggest advantage is that she and Ye Lang are alone together, which is something no one can compare to. This makes her feel very fortunate. Until the end, she feels that this is the most worthwhile decision in her life.
Naturally, many people also want to exchange for this opportunity, but it is impossible! !
"What are you laughing at? You're so disrespectful! I was just thinking about the key issue, and you messed me up. I need to continue thinking about it..." Ye Lang said unhappily.
"Don't think about it, let's eat first! You still have plenty of time anyway. After dinner, let's go to the vegetable garden to plant vegetables. The vegetables are almost gone." Zhao Yarou said while pulling Ye Lang.
"Is it almost over? All right then." After hearing Zhao Yarou's words, Ye Lang followed her. Just as Zhao Yarou said, there was still plenty of time. Only three years had passed, and there were still seven years left.
Research can be done slowly, but eating cannot be slow. Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou have experienced this before!
Here, space items cannot be used, which means that if you want to eat something, you either have to have it in stock or get it yourself from the system.
Before, there was a lot of food stock in the kitchen warehouse. At that time, neither of them paid attention to this and just kept eating. After all, both of them were the kind of people who had everything handed to them, so naturally they didn't know much about these things.
Especially since the chef was Zhao Yarou, it was even more confusing. In addition, she had a lot of failed products at the beginning, so the inventory consumption was a lot greater.
So, in the end, they discovered a very serious problem, that is, they had no food left!!
At that time, Ye Lang could only practice the fasting technique, let Zhao Yarou take the emergency fasting pills, and then immediately plant vegetables, the kind that mature the fastest. Fortunately, the seeds here are very complete. After a week, the two can eat vegetables to survive and wait for other tools to mature.
It is impossible for Ye Lang and his companions to only grow quick-ripening vegetables. Naturally, they also planted other foods together. They would make the same mistakes as before, but they would definitely not make similar mistakes.
At that time, Zhao Yarou was very interested in Ye Lang's fasting technique. At first, she thought Ye Lang was lying to her and wanted to give her the fasting pills, which moved her deeply.
Of course, even if she knew that Ye Lang's fasting technique was effective, she was still moved! !
Ye Lang's fasting technique has nothing to do with magical elements. In addition, his internal strength has reached a very high level. He only needs to practice it and can fast for a long period of time. If he had just started practicing, like Zhao Yarou, he would not be able to maintain it for such a long time.
Zhao Yarou also wanted to learn, but Ye Lang did not teach her because this required the establishment of a set of internal energy system for Zhao Yarou. Ye Lang did not want to pass this internal energy on to anyone else, not even Ye Lanyu and others, let alone Zhao Yarou.
In response, Zhao Yarou just gritted her teeth and didn't say much.
Speaking of internal strength, Ye Lang has been practicing it all the time, and after coming here, he has been practicing every day. The environment here does not affect the practice of internal strength, nor does it hinder the practice of martial arts.
The current situation made Ye Lang feel like he was being forced into seclusion, and his internal strength began to rise steadily during this period!
Ye Lang felt that he was about to reach a bottleneck and needed to truly practice in seclusion. The time of seclusion would probably be very long, possibly a year or two.
Originally, under such circumstances, Ye Lang should have gone into seclusion directly, but he seemed to be more interested in alchemy and this space. He had always improved his strength naturally and had never had the opportunity to improve, which led to his lack of attention to this.
Therefore, at this time, Ye Lang still did not go into seclusion, but was still studying the alchemy left by the Tiangong Yue clan! !
However, no matter how much he delays, what is coming will come back...
Just today, Ye Lang suddenly realized that his internal strength needed a breakthrough. If he didn't go into seclusion, it would affect his strength and his body.
"Zhao Yarou!" Ye Lang looked at Zhao Yarou who was cleaning up after finishing his meal.
"What's the matter, brother-in-law? Are you not full?" Zhao Yarou asked very gently. At this time, her name seemed to be worthy of its name.
"No, I'm full! I want to tell you something now. I may have to go into seclusion for a while. During this time, you just take care of yourself." Ye Lang reminded him, as if he was talking to his sister.
Although Ye Lang didn't want to admit it, the time they had spent together had made him regard Zhao Yarou as his own sister. The Seventh Princess's sister was also his sister.
In the past, he just couldn't accept Zhao Yarou's behavior, but now, he has accepted it, at least here, he accepted it.
"Seclusion for a period of time? What does that mean?" Zhao Yarou asked a little confused.
It's not that she doesn't know what seclusion means. Warriors and magicians also have seclusion to cultivate fighting spirit or meditate, but there are no magical elements here now. She doesn't understand how Ye Lang can go into seclusion.
She only regarded Ye Lang's previous meditation practice as Ye Lang being dazed, and she also thought it was normal for Ye Lang to practice martial arts. He was just practicing martial arts, and he could still practice martial arts without the magic element.
"It's a retreat for cultivation. I should have gone a long time ago, but I was doing research and delayed it." Ye Lang said.
"What are you practicing? Aren't there no magical elements here?" Zhao Yarou asked blankly.
"This is self-cultivation, and does not require magical elements. You can also do this. Don't just practice martial arts, try to practice your fighting spirit, maybe you can gain more." Ye Lang said.
“???” Zhao Yarou was a little confused. She was also a warrior, which was something many people knew, but no one knew her strength.
Because she has never taken action before!
Ye Lang also knew this. Zhao Yarou had no intention of hiding anything from him. She had said or expressed everything.
At this time, Ye Lang understood even more clearly that Zhao Yarou was simply terrifying. His previous feeling was correct. Fortunately, he did not provoke her.
"Anyway, just don't bother me. Also, take care of yourself. Don't let me leave you starving to death when I come out..." Ye Lang said.
"I won't do that!! Once is enough, I won't make the same mistake a second time." Zhao Yarou said.
"Okay! I'll be in seclusion in the martial arts training ground. If you have any urgent matters, you can come to me." Ye Lang continued.
"What impact will it have on you if I look for you?" Zhao Yarou easily noticed the problem. She felt that this was something that must be done as a last resort and should be avoided as much as possible.
"There will be an impact. You might go astray and fail in your retreat." Ye Lang said casually, as if this matter was insignificant.
"..." Zhao Yarou already understood that she couldn't disturb Ye Lang. No matter how big the problem was, she shouldn't disturb Ye Lang's retreat unless it was absolutely necessary.
At the same time, Zhao Yarou was also very happy, because even if Ye Lang was possessed, he would not abandon her.
"Then you should be careful. I might go into seclusion as well..." Zhao Yarou said with a smile.
"Um!"
Just like that, Ye Lang began to retreat three years after coming here. At this time, Zhao Yarou forgot to ask Ye Lang how long it would take, which made her regret it very much.
Because, in the next two years, Ye Lang had been in seclusion. After confirming countless times that Ye Lang had not encountered any accidents, she slowly accepted this matter.
This was something Ye Lang had not expected. He had thought it would only take three months at most, but he had not expected it to take so long this time. This might be because it was delayed for too long, causing the explosion of his internal strength to explode, allowing him to break through again and again.
If you practice in seclusion like this, perhaps ten years will not be too long, and it will pass in just a few times!
Of course, this was not a pleasant thing for Zhao Yarou, because she could only wait for Ye Lang to come out of seclusion alone. At that time, she was very bored and uncomfortable.
It was because of this that Zhao Yarou also began to learn Ye Lang's seclusion. Although the time of seclusion was not very long and was nothing compared to Ye Lang's, it allowed her to master new tools and make new breakthroughs.
At this time, Zhao Yarou had already understood that fighting spirit cultivation could be carried out even without external magical elements. Under such circumstances, people could master things that they had never encountered before and gain new insights.
This is no less effective than practicing outside!!
And perhaps because of this, Zhao Yarou mistakenly believed that Ye Lang was practicing magic fighting spirit here because he had mastered this understanding, instead of practicing anything else.
"Exit, Zhao Yarou, do you have any food..."
This was the first sentence Ye Lang said when he came out of retreat. After that, he took a shower to wash off the stains on his body, and then came out to look for Zhao Yarou.
Because after Ye Lang came out of retreat, Zhao Yarou didn't make any movement, as if she didn't hear what Ye Lang said. In Ye Lang's opinion, she might be busy with other things, and it was impossible for her to have been waiting outside for him to come out. This was also a very normal thing.
So, Ye Lang started looking for it, and then he gave up looking.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to look for her, nor is it that Zhao Yarou showed up, but because he knows what Zhao Yarou is doing now, and she is also in seclusion like him.
What a coincidence, when Zhao Yarou was expecting Ye Lang, Ye Lang had not yet come out of seclusion, and when she just went into seclusion, Ye Lang came out!
Without Zhao Yarou, Ye Lang had no choice but to prepare the tools and go find food himself.
"Zhao Yarou is great. She can grow such delicious vegetables, and they are also beautiful." Ye Lang found that the vegetable patch had become like a flower garden. Although they were all ordinary vegetables, Zhao Yarou managed to match them with beautiful colors.
This vegetable garden is more beautiful than ordinary gardens.
Women, that is, women, they just want to focus on these things. They really have nothing to do...
Come to think of it, Zhao Yarou really didn't have much to do, so this might just be her way of killing time!
"Ah!! Who stole my food?!"
After Zhao Yarou came out of retreat, she still habitually thought that Ye Lang had not come out, so she went to make some food for herself. When she arrived at the vegetable garden, she found that it was a mess.
In fact, it wasn't a mess. After Ye Lang finished eating, he also planted other things. It just wasn't as beautiful as before.
"Stealing vegetables, is it still popular now?" Ye Lang suddenly appeared at this time, and then asked blankly.
"..." Zhao Yarou was stunned for a moment. After a long while, she finally reacted and threw herself on Ye Lang...
"You bastard, how dare you steal my food? Be careful or I'll let the dogs bite you!!"
"..., you call yourself a puppy?"
“…”
…
No one knew how much time had passed, and Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou had lost count. Perhaps because of this, they no longer cared when these ten years would come.
On this day, after practicing, Ye Lang was studying the last bit of alchemy when he discovered something. This thing made Shengguai scream, and he seemed very excited.
"Brother-in-law, why are you screaming? I'm still applying a facial mask and can't be stimulated..." Zhao Yarou's voice sounded very unhappy.
Facial masks are what Ye Lang buys when he’s bored, but they are a fatal attraction to Zhao Yarou. She says she’s not young anymore and needs maintenance.
Speaking of which, Zhao Yarou was already twenty-five or twenty-six years old at that time, which was really not young anymore.
"You make your mask, I'll go find something. This place is really interesting. There's actually something like this..." Ye Lang said, the excitement in his tone was very obvious.
"What? What tool did you say?" Zhao Yarou took off her facial mask, quickly washed her face, and then rushed out. These actions were completed in just a moment. It was not known whether it was because of her profound skills or because she had to keep an eye on Ye Lang, fearing that Ye Lang would do something surprising.
Even here, in this place without any magical elements, Ye Lang can still make big news. His alchemy laboratory has been destroyed countless times.
“It’s this tool…”
"No way, how is this possible?" Zhao Yarou was very surprised by the answer. She never thought that such a thing would happen. She was even more surprised than Ye Lang.
And what exactly is this tool?
…
Ten years later, ten years after Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou disappeared, which is the day they theoretically return, unless there are no accidents, the two of them will return from the Tiangong Yue tribe's space prison and return to the Tiangong Yue tribe's ruins once again.
This matter is a very big deal for everyone on the mainland. It is almost the focus of the entire mainland. At the same time, everyone understands that there will be unrest today.
Everyone knows that the return of Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou may bring about a change in the entire continent, a radical change that may even turn the currently advantageous side into a disadvantage.
Regardless of advantages or disadvantages, in everyone's opinion, Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou are on different sides, and no matter which side they are on, they will not let the other one of them enter the other side's camp.
These two sides are still the same, the two sides of the alliance between Xiangkong and many other forces!
Xiangkong naturally wants Zhao Yarou, while the other forces want Ye Lang. At the same time, none of them wants the other person to return smoothly, so they all want to fight for both of them.
Today's war might just be for the fight for two people, but everyone knows how important these two people are, so the people they sent out are not sloppy at all, and almost all of them are elites.
However, what was unexpected was that at this time, the fierce scene that everyone had imagined did not occur. Everyone believed that a fight would break out immediately when the two sides came into contact.
In the end, the two sides are mortal enemies, and the war is still in full swing. The entire continent is in constant war because of both sides.
Perhaps because of the return of Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou, both sides temporarily stopped their actions a month ago and only maintained non-aggressive behaviors. This can be said to be the calm before the storm, or it can be said that both sides want to obtain Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou first, and then make other arrangements.
Because these two hold the key to victory or defeat in this war!!
At such a tense moment, the situation was surprisingly calm. There was no fighting. Everyone was just waiting, looking forward to the return of Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou.
What is the reason for this? Is it the calm before the storm?
No, in fact it was not because of any other reason, it was simply because of Li Yue who was guarding here. It was Li Yue who made everyone here calm down. No matter Xiangkong or the various forces, they could not say anything more here.
It seemed that no one had expected this situation, including Xiangkong's people, who had not expected this to happen.
They thought that Li Yue would maintain order here, prohibit some people from entering, and even prohibit some people from leaving the city, but these were aimed at people other than Xiangkong, not including themselves.
But in fact, Li Yue not only made people outside Xiangkong quiet, but also made people in Xiangkong shut up. No matter who they were, as long as they were in this place, they had to follow her rules.
Originally, the people of Xiangkong had some opinions about this, but soon they no longer had any opinions, because they seemed to have just discovered that the people of the ancient ruins only seemed to listen to Yu Liyue, unless Zhao Yarou gave the order, but how could Zhao Yarou give the order?
"Li Yue, you have to understand what's going on right now. You shouldn't let them in."
The leader of Xiangkong seemed to have come as well. At this time, with such a situation, he had no choice but to come, and this place was actually not far from Xiangkong Imperial City.
The "they" he was talking about were Ye Lanyu and other members of the Ye family, as well as Princess Longji of Suzaku, Ella's little princess and Fei, Xuanyuan Bing of the Holy City, and finally the representatives of the Orcs, Athena and...
The most important and precious person to Ye Lang is Hu Niu!!
