Chapter 244: Wen Yu...doesn't seem to like this...
where you go.
In order to find Song Linsheng's soul and reincarnation, she went to the Netherworld to ask for help from Xie Bian, a person she had met once before. With his help and the opportunity of the previous Meng Po's escape, she got a job in the Reincarnation Department of the Netherworld and became the new Meng Po.
After that, she spent the whole day guarding the Naihe Bridge, but unexpectedly, the first person who came was... Yu Chang.
Three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Wen Yu looked at Yu Chang in front of her and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
"I had just ascended to heaven and encountered this disaster. I was completely bewildered and lost."
She spoke word by word, and the past events came to her mind vividly, as if she were experiencing them again.
"You... have always been with me. I know everything."
Before Wen Yu could finish her words, her clothes fluttered as she was embraced by Yu Chang who was sitting opposite her.
Yu Chang buried his head in her neck, saying nothing, just greedily absorbing the jasmine scent that filled his nose.
This is the smell of Wen Yu.
Wen Yu opened her hands in a daze, not knowing where to put them. She seemed to be frightened by the sudden action, but in the end she did not push Yu Chang away.
Yu Chang's hands were tightly wrapped around Wen Yu's back, and when he leaned on Wen Yu's shoulder, he showed his first smile since then.
She said she knew everything and he was very happy.
However, this was not the answer he wanted.
"Wenyu." Yu Chang spoke in a muffled voice, but he only called her name, "Wenyu."
He didn't want her to know, he wanted her to "remember".
"Hmm?" Wen Yu asked softly, confused, "Yu Chang?"
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Yu Chang laughed at himself, then let go of Wen Yu and stood up straight.
"nothing."
He raised his sleeve, took something off in front of him, and handed it to Wen Yu.
The texture was warm to the touch, with a faint warmth emanating from it. Wen Yu then lowered his eyes to look.
"Dingyuan Lock?"
In the center of the shimmering golden lock was a scarlet ruby, its luster radiant like flowing blood. Wasn't this what Yu Chang always wore?
Wen Yu looked up at Yu Chang, questioning him with her eyes.
"I told you before, if you can take it, it's yours." Yu Chang looked at Wen Yu steadily and advised, "It's yours now."
Wen Yu frowned and looked at the Dingyuan Lock in his hand without saying a word.
Yu Chang asked tentatively, "Do you want to wear it?"
"I don't want it." Wen Yu raised her sleeve and put the Ding Yuan Lock on Yu Chang's neck in an instant. "Nowadays, evil spirits are everywhere and chaos is rampant. You should keep it with you. It will be beneficial to you."
Her movements were so fast that even Yu Chang couldn't see clearly. By the time he reacted, the Dingyuan Lock had already landed safely on his chest.
Yu Chang paused, and his fingertips raised reflexively.
He wanted to put this thing on Wen Yu, but... forget it, forget it.
He couldn't do it before, and he still can't do it now.
"What happened?" Yu Chang had no choice but to change the subject.
Wen Yu didn't want to hide it from him, so she explained, "I came to the Rejuvenation Temple this time for... this matter."
She kept silent about other things, and there was no need to mention them.
"A spiritual vein has appeared in Gouwu Mountain in Zhongzhou, causing a stir in all directions and attracting covetous attention from all corners of the world."
Wen Yu patted Yu Chang in front of him and said, "Therefore, you must wear this Ding Yuan Lock carefully and never take it off."
She was afraid that if Yu Chang got involved, he would get hurt.
"If this matter is settled, there will be peace on earth..." Yu Chang stroked the Dingyuan Lock with his fingertips, and the warmth of Wen Yu seemed to be left on it.
No matter what kind of unrest there is, he will deal with it.
"Then I don't want it either." Wen Yu refused without thinking, "If it's yours, it's yours. What's the point of giving it to me?"
"That's not what I meant..." Yu Chang frowned.
What's more, this Dingyuan Lock did not originally belong to him.
"What is that?" Wen Yu looked up with a puzzled look.
Yu Chang has always been straightforward and concise, and rarely shows such hesitation.
The question was whether she could be with him... whether it was back to the banks of the Yuan River or the Naihe Bridge, no matter where they went, as long as she could be with him.
"Yes..." Yu Chang hated his hesitation, but the moment he opened his mouth, his meaning completely changed. "How about we go find Song Linsheng together? Just like we did before at the Wangsheng Inn."
It doesn't matter what I do as long as I can be with her.
Even if it was for someone else, he didn't care.
Wen Yu was stunned. She was not prepared at all for such an inquiry.
She was definitely going to find Song Linsheng, but Yu Chang...
"Yu Chang." Wen Yu broke the silence and answered seriously, "You... should take care of your own things."
Instead of focusing all your attention on her.
Wen Yu knew very well that it would be difficult to return the money in three hundred years, let alone the time after that.
"Your business is my business." Yu Chang looked at Wen Yu with certainty, not giving her the slightest chance to object. "I will go with you to Zhongzhou."
"You..." Wen Yu frowned, obviously disagreeing.
She rarely inquired about Yu Chang's affairs, but over the past few hundred years, she knew a little about him. He was born on the banks of the Yuan River and was the most powerful of the Jiaolong clan since the beginning of chaos.
Just as she had taken on the responsibility of pacifying Central Continent after joining the Temple of Spring, Yu Chang... also had things he needed to do.
Yu Chang's eyes were deep and full of pleading. Although he said nothing, the emotions layered in his eyes...
Ling Wenyu was speechless.
"The longer you hesitate, the more danger the people in Central China will be in." Since this road was blocked, Yu Chang would look for another way. Anyway, he had to go with Wen Yu.
Even if she didn't agree, he could still follow her secretly.
"Okay." Wen Yu agreed without hesitation, "I promise you."
Yu Chang was right. She didn't know what the current situation in Central China was, so she couldn't delay for too long.
"But after this matter is over, you must go back to the banks of the Yuan River..." Wen Yu still did not give up. She knew that Yu Chang was not so easy to talk to, but she still tried to persuade him.
Before Wen Yu could say yes, Yu Chang's eyes lit up and he spoke impatiently, "I promise you too."
If she would be with him.
In an instant, Yu Chang's sharp eyebrows softened, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.
He suddenly looked forward to the end of his journey to Zhongzhou. Retiring with Wen Yu was the only thing he had wished for in thousands of years.
Wen Yu, unaware of Yu Chang's inner thoughts, glanced at his slightly warmed face and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since we have agreed, then--" Wen Yu was about to call Yu Chang to set off, but unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, there was an earth-shaking movement.
"Be careful." Yu Chang straightened his expression, raised his sleeves to block Wen Yu, and then swept his vigilant eyes around and entered a state of alert.
He was full of strength, like a taut string.
Wen Yu looked up and only saw half of his face. Just like during the hundreds of years he worked in the underworld, Yu Chang always protected her like this.
"It's okay, this is the East Heaven Court."
Therefore, it was her turn to stand in front of Yu Chang.
Wen Yu held down Yu Chang's arm and stepped forward to stop him behind her. Now that they were at the Temple of Spring, she wanted to see who dared to cause trouble in front of her.
Yu Chang lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Yu's tall and handsome figure, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
He did not rush to refuse, but followed Wen Yu obediently, only raised his chin to greet Wen Yu at the source of the sound, "Hmm..."
Hundreds of years of tacit understanding between them made Wen Yu understand instantly. She looked in the direction of the sound and felt something was wrong at first glance.
"It's Zhuoying Palace." Wen Yu's face darkened, and he immediately stepped forward. "I'm afraid it's the Undead Tree that's moving."
Seeing her hurried pace, Yu Chang understood that there must be something important. He did not say much and immediately followed Wen Yu's footsteps.
The clouds were surging and the fairy mist was everywhere. The originally peaceful and tranquil East Heaven Palace was drastically different in an instant.
Wen Yu had not walked the road from the Spring Temple to the Zhuoying Palace many times, only twice in total.
Once she broke Song Linsheng's longevity branch.
Another time, she witnessed the erosion and disappearance of Song Linsheng's Shouyuanzhi.
From the beginning to the end, it was only two times, but it was these two times that made her unforgettable this road leading to Zhuoying Palace in her life.
Wen Yu suppressed the complicated thoughts in her mind and walked forward in a hurry.
The Immortal Tree vibrated. Could it be that something else...
The two halls were not far apart, and Wen Yu and Yu Chang quickly arrived through the sea of clouds.
The Zhuoying Palace is located in the overlapping fairy sea, with misty white clouds, lotus and jade capital, and the bluestone jade walls and gradually glazed colored tiles all over it. Although it has been vacant for a long time, now that the owner has returned, it is still as magnificent as before with its carved railings and jade bricks.
But just as Wen Yu was about to move forward, he suddenly stopped when his eyes swept down over the palace door.
"Hmm?" Yu Chang hummed softly, not knowing what had happened. "Wenyu."
No one answered, so Yu Chang stood beside Wen Yu and saw that Wen Yu had slowed down a little and seemed to be on guard.
Yu Chang was surprised and looked forward in the direction Wen Yu was looking.
In an instant, Yu Chang's body froze, and his eyes, which were as calm as the deep sea, began to tremble.
Beneath the plaque of the Zhuoying Hall, a figure in a fluttering white robe stared at the two of them...
That is, Song Linsheng?
Yu Chang narrowed his eyes in disbelief, and scanned him from head to toe with cautious eyes. Finally, his gaze fixed on him, examining every inch of his face.
Very similar, absolutely similar.
However, this person is surrounded by divine aura, and is definitely not an ordinary person. How could it be... Song Linsheng?
Yu Chang's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered. This "Song Linsheng" made him unsure whether he was happy or sad.
Wen Yu had been searching for Song Linsheng for three hundred years, but he never showed up. Now, a deity who looked just like him appeared before her...
Yu Chang's eyes flickered as he glanced at Wen Yu beside him.
In the past, he always thought that Song Linsheng was just a mortal, with a short lifespan and fragile and easily broken, while he and Wen Yu were both demons, and were the true same kind, worthy of being matched.
But now, Wen Yu's ascension to immortality was different from his, not to mention the arrival of another immortal who looked so similar to Song Linsheng...
Yu Chang just felt his scalp tingling.
He is not afraid of any gods or immortals.
But this person's face...
Yu Chang's eyes became more gloomy. He said nothing, anxiously watching Wen Yu's reaction.
Wen Yu remained silent and did not rush to speak, just looking at the man in the hall from afar.
Emperor Taihao.
Although it was not the first time they met, Wen Yu still couldn't help feeling dazed when she saw this face. She suppressed the strangeness in her heart and chose to wait and see.
She had forgotten all about this matter after all the hustle and bustle just now.
Zhuoying Palace is not an ownerless palace now. Emperor Taihao will naturally take good care of his own palace after returning to the throne. What does it have to do with her?
What's more, Song Linsheng's longevity branch had already been blown away by the wind. She had seen it with her own eyes before. The Immortal Tree no longer had any concerns for her.
Furthermore, when they were at the Broken Clouds Edge of the Spring Temple, Emperor Tai Hao only called her name but had nothing to say to her. She didn't know what he was trying to say.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu felt something strange in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more angry she felt. Why was he calling her for no reason?
Could it be that the God can do whatever he wants?
It's a lie. Her master would never play tricks on people like this.
Across the misty waves, Taihao stood tall and straight under the palace, his white robe fluttering in the wind, but his blurry eyebrows and eyes could not be seen clearly.
He was thin and tall, yet he carried a mysterious sense of power. At this moment, he was looking at His Highness calmly.
Wen Yujun of the Temple of Spring, and... a little white dragon.
Taihao's eyes passed over Yu Chang without saying a word.
After a stalemate, no one spoke.
Wen Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but frown. It was like this just now, and it was like this now. Could it be that Emperor Taihao was a mute god?
Wen Yu didn't want to get entangled here. She didn't have the time to waste here. It was more important to do what her master asked her to do first.
"I forgot." Wen Yu bowed to Tai Hao from a distance according to the etiquette of the Spring Temple. "Now that the Emperor has returned to his throne, it is naturally not the Spring Temple's turn to interfere in the affairs of the Zhuying Palace."
"Excuse me for disturbing you. Goodbye."
After saying that, Wen Yu turned around and left without any hesitation.
The powerful steps caused the clouds to fly.
She didn't care about appearance or skin. As long as this person was not Song Linsheng, then he was not Song Linsheng, no matter how similar he was, he was not Song Linsheng.
Yu Chang's eyes moved, his gaze following Wen Yu. Seeing her walk away, he turned back and stared at the person in the hall.
Wen Yu respected him as "Emperor".
As far as he knew, there was an emperor in the Eastern Heaven Court, but he didn't expect it to be the person in front of him, the so-called... "Song Linsheng".
A man in a white shirt and a man in a black robe stood facing each other in the sea of clouds. Yu Chang looked at Tai Hao for a moment, then turned around and followed Wen Yu.
Wen Yu seemed to... not like this emperor.
Yu Chang's lips curled up, and his eyebrows and eyes were lively.
Tai Hao, who was left behind, remained motionless, gazing into the distance at the direction the two had left, until he could no longer see any trace of them. Only then did he finally turn around and look at the immortal tree in the courtyard.
Full of divine power and intact.
