White Deer Gu Ruicao
"Your Majesty, didn't we leave many descendants for the anaconda clan in previous years? Now they have grown up. How should the anaconda leader choose?"
“Your Majesty, the Phoenix Clan’s envoy will be coming to offer his condolences tomorrow, and we should also prepare gifts in return.”
"king......"
Lu Yixin was completely exasperated. She angrily tore the paper apart, leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, and huffed in frustration.
Those people who competed for the position probably never imagined that Mori-oh would have so many things to deal with!
She couldn't even find the time to say goodbye to God.
He wouldn't just leave before I arrived, would he...? Lu Yi absentmindedly picked up her pen, and ink dripped down, splashing onto the paper in the shape of a plum blossom.
Tomorrow she has to receive the Phoenix Clan's envoy, the day after tomorrow she has to deal with the problem of silt accumulation at the bottom of Bixiao Lake, and the day after that she has no plans, but she has to visit her grandfather in the back room that day... After searching back and forth, the day she finally found that she was completely free was a week later.
I'm so tired.
—The next day, just as dawn broke, Lu Yixin, dressed in a magnificent robe and accompanied by Shi Xu, waited at the entrance of Mitianze for the arrival of the Phoenix Clan envoy.
That day, when the three races were absorbing the power of the Reverse Scale, the Phoenix Maiden deliberately carried a magical artifact with her. She didn't take a single ounce of it for herself, but instead stored all her magical power into the artifact, intending to take it back and use it on Huang Sheng. It's unknown whether Huang Sheng will recover faster with the blessing of the Dragon Clan's primal power.
If it can't be Huang Sheng who came, then who could it be?
"Miss Deer!"
The familiar voice descended from the sky, and Lu Yixin's eyelids twitched almost imperceptibly.
Well, she should have thought of that sooner.
Despite this, she couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling as she looked at Yun Xinglan, who had just stood on the ground. "So it's you, Xinglan."
"Don't you expect me to see this?"
Yun Xinglan glanced at the person beside her, who immediately understood and led the Phoenix Clan soldiers to retreat a few steps, leaving space for the two of them.
Shi Xu also learned about the history between the two, and could only shake his head helplessly, saying to the guard, "Let's go back."
"Going back already?" one of the guards asked, still uneasy. "What if that Phoenix Clan..."
"Alright, even if you don't trust the Phoenix Clan, you can still trust me, right?" Shi Xu patted his shoulder and laughed, "Let's go back."
"How does it feel to be in power?" Yun Xinglan stopped and stared at her intently. "Have you been sleeping poorly these past few days? I see dark circles under your eyes, like you've been up all night."
"I'm so tired, Xinglan," Lu Yixin stretched. Being with Yun Xinglan, she could finally be herself without restraint and didn't have to put on airs all the time. "But it's always a good thing that Grandpa trusts me so much."
“But sometimes I still feel too much pressure. I’m afraid I won’t be able to fulfill my grandfather’s last wish, and I’m afraid the Sen tribe will decline in my hands.”
She couldn't say these things to the other members of the Sen tribe. Fortunately, Yun Xinglan came, otherwise she would have choked up inside.
"Have you forgotten how you quelled the internal strife?" Yun Xinglan ruffled her hair. "Do you think the Forest King would hand over the Forest Clan to someone he doesn't trust?"
She knew that Yun Xinglan would always believe in her unconditionally, so she put her mind at ease and changed the subject, "Xinglan, when are you leaving now that you're here?"
“I can probably stay here for three or four days,” Yun Xinglan said, stroking her chin. “The Divine Lord wouldn’t let me come over; I had to persuade her after much pleading.”
Phoenix Girl is just all bark and no bite.
Despite the fact that the Phoenix Maiden once took Lu Yixin's life, Lu Yixin had to admit that she wasn't actually a bad person.
She just really wanted to protect her family.
"Xinglan, have you told Qingcheng about the Phoenix Clan?"
“No,” Yun Xinglan’s smile faded as she mentioned Qu Qingcheng. “Anyway, she’s not going back to Wutongmu, so there’s no need for her to know about this.”
Well, it seems Xinglan has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Lu Yixin smiled and pursed her lips. Although Qu Qingcheng appears fierce and cruel, she is still a young girl at heart. If she knew about the disaster of the Phoenix Clan, she might impulsively go and challenge Brother Qiexing to a duel.
The rulers of the Sen tribe throughout history were buried in the rear chamber of the Canggu Temple after their deaths, and Du Lin was no exception.
It was a secret garden, filled with ancient trees and all sorts of flowers that were half a person tall. Lu Yixin didn't know their names, but their unique fragrance could soothe her restless heart. She took a deep breath and walked towards Du Lin's grave.
"Grandpa, Xinxin has come to see you."
Lu Yixin sat on the stone steps with her knees drawn up to her chest, murmuring to herself, "Today is the forty-ninth day since you left Xinxin. I wonder how you are doing."
"Grandpa, Xinxin isn't doing well. Xinxin is so tired."
“When Xin Xin was little, she always pestered you to play with her, but you would always rush off to the council hall soon afterward. At that time, Xin Xin would sulk with you, feeling that you didn’t value her enough. But when I finally sat in this position, I truly understood how hard you worked and how busy you were back then.”
"Do you know that Shen Qiexing has already paid the price for his crimes? Our Sen tribe members who died during the Qingshen ceremony that year should also rest in peace."
“Grandpa, I may still be a little immature in my behavior and conduct, but I will try my best to learn how to be a qualified ruler and live up to the expectations of my people. Grandpa, yesterday I gave the Ancient Lily of the Valley to a child. She looked so happy. She said that when she grows up, she will also contribute to the Forest Clan. Grandpa, do you know that I was very happy when I heard this, but I also felt a little regretful.”
"If only you were still here, I wish you could hear me say that."
"Grandpa, Shixu praised me today. He said I did a great job. But it wasn't me who did a great job. It was Grandpa who did a great job. I learned everything from Grandpa!"
She rambled on and on, even saying how nice the weather was today. When she finally ran out of things to say, she simply shrugged, patted her bottom, and stood up, saying, "Well, I'm leaving now."
"Grandpa, there are still many things outside that Xinxin needs to take care of. Xinxin will come to see you again in a few days."
A small yellow flower sprouted from a crack in the bluestone, quietly resting against the girl's leg, as if it couldn't bear to let her go.
Yun Xinglan picked a leaf and played a tuneless melody without any rhyme or structure. Finally, he saw Lu Yixin come out from inside. He put down the leaf and went to greet her, "Are you alright?"
"Hmm," Lu Yixin seemed to be in a good mood, putting her hands on her hips and letting out a sigh of relief, "I'm very strong."
"I feel full of energy again!"
Yun Xinglan was amused by her and said gently, "Seeing that you are doing well, I feel relieved to go back."
"Please give me another ride."
Lu Yixin looked up at the sunlight filtering through the leaves and falling into her eyes, and smiled warmly.
"good."
—
"Your Majesty, we'll head back now."
Baozhu looked around at the small courtyard she had just acquired for the sake of the gods and sighed.
This place can't compare to the Dragon Palace!
The goddess finally decided on the location in the imperial city of the mortal world. Although she had chosen the largest mansion there, it still couldn't compare to a single brick or tile of the Dragon Palace.
But Shen Qiexing really likes this place.
That's enough.
"I'll leave the entire Tianpin Sea to you two to manage," Shen Qiexing smiled. "I've lived for over a thousand years, always living in constant fear. This is the first time I've experienced such a comfortable, ordinary life."
Unfortunately, he never got to see the Little Deer Fairy.
The deity really knows how to find joy in hardship. Baozhu was pulled back by An Ziyi, and she kept turning back to shout, "Then let's go back first!"
She had said this three times already, and An Ziyi helplessly dragged her along, "Let's go."
Shen Qiexing raised many flowers, plants, and trees here. Because the little deer fairy liked them very much, he also raised some of them as well.
Several koi carp have appeared in the small pond in the courtyard, and the lotus flowers are graceful in the breeze. It took Shen Qiexing almost a month to tidy up the whole place. He stood in the middle, looking around at his work with satisfaction.
He has no magical power left in his body. If he wants to recover to his peak, it will probably take several hundred to a thousand years.
But now that everything is safe, he no longer needs so much magic.
He was not short of money. Baozhu would send him some every few days to store in the treasury. In the future, he would first travel to the capital, kill all the villains and bandits, and give the people a peaceful life.
It was a great pity that he was still unable to see the Little Deer Fairy one last time before leaving.
Why didn't she come to keep the appointment...? Perhaps there were too many things going on in Mi Tianze. Bai Tanxiang's complexion was really bad that day, and he couldn't help but think about the worst possibility.
The Forest King... should be gone by now.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Little Deer Fairy should succeed the Forest King. In that case, it's understandable that he's a bit busy.
But he was still unhappy!
Shen Qiexing beheaded a bandit with a single sword stroke and wiped the blood from his hands.
Although his magical powers were gone, his physical abilities remained.
Hopefully, the imperial court will appreciate the surprise he has given them.
He finished all this before dawn, picked up a handkerchief, wiped the bloodstains off the sword, and carried it home under the moonlight.
It was time to feed the fish in the pond again. Since he couldn't sleep at this time, he simply took out some fish food and scattered handfuls into the lotus pond. Then he sat quietly in the pavilion by the pond, watching everything in front of him.
A tranquil and beautiful life is what he has always longed for.
It's finally come true!
He stayed until dawn before finally feeling sleepy. Just as he was about to wash his face and go back to rest, it seemed as if a firework suddenly exploded in his ear.
He heard someone calling him.
"Brother Qiexing!"
