God Emperor

Next to Huang Yanchen, followed a maid of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing goose-yellow clothes, with a small and delicate face.

She was looking Zhang Ruochen up and down with curious eyes.

Zhang Ruochen also noticed the maid following Huang Yanchen.

She seemed to be only 1.6 meters tall, with a pair of pointed ears, long silver hair, a slender waist, lively eyes, and her skin was like holy jade, emitting crystal clear fluorescence.

She is completely different from other maids. She has a special temperament that gives people an extremely extraordinary feeling.

"Your maid seems to have a very high level of cultivation."

Zhang Ruochen showed a faint smile and looked at her carefully.

The maid in goose-yellow clothes immediately looked shy and timid, and hid behind Huang Yanchen almost out of instinct.

Huang Yanchen said: "She is a maid sent to me by the Chen family. Her name is Qing Mo. She has a very special physique and extremely high qualifications. However, she has little contact with the outside world and lacks experience."

Huang Yanchen is now a disciple of the world and a disciple of the Queen. Naturally, the attitude of the Chen family in the Eastern Region towards her is no longer the same.

The maid sent to her was naturally not an ordinary monk.

"My servant Qingmo, I have met Mr. Zhang."

The maid in goose-yellow clothes came out and saluted Zhang Ruochen.

Huang Yanchen and Zhang Ruochen walked side by side. The woman was beautiful and the man was handsome. They stepped on the snow and walked on the street, attracting a lot of amazed eyes.

After a long while, Huang Yanchen spoke up and said: "When I came to Shengming City, I heard a lot of news about you. It is said that you killed the five commanders of the Canglong Army, and there are also rumors circulating that you were a soldier eight hundred years ago. Prince Shengming.”

"Do you want to hear an explanation?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Huang Yanchen's pair of faint blue eyes revealed a sincere emotion, and he said: "I only care about your safety and don't want you to encounter any accidents."

"I am indeed Crown Prince Shengming, the last prince of the Shengming Central Empire eight hundred years ago." Zhang Ruochen said calmly.

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen not only had the title of husband and wife, but also the reality of being husband and wife. There were some things that he felt he no longer had to hide.

"You don't seem very surprised?"

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Huang Yanchen and saw that her expression was very calm, without any hint of shock.

Huang Yanchen said: "I specifically checked some things about Crown Prince Shengming, and I have already made some guesses. I didn't ask before, just because I knew that when the time comes, you will definitely tell me."

"Her state of mind has obviously improved a lot after fifteen years of practice in Tianlunzhen." Zhang Ruochen could clearly feel this.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Ruochen asked: "Since you already know my identity, are you going to stand on my side or on Queen Chi Yao's side?"

When he said this, Zhang Ruochen had already clearly told Huang Yanchen that he and Queen Chi Yao were incompatible with each other.

One is a repeat offender of the imperial court, and the other is a disciple of the Queen, but they are a couple. Even Zhang Ruochen doesn't know how they will go in the future.

Huang Yanchen stopped, stared at Zhang Ruochen, and said, "I will always be on your side. No matter what happens, it will not change this."

For Huang Yanchen, making such a decision undoubtedly requires a lot of determination.

From now on, Zhang Ruochen and I will bear the pressure from all sides, and even become enemies of the entire world.

Huang Yanchen had a solemn look on his face and said, "There is another thing. Chi Wansui has returned to Shengming City. You must be extremely careful when dealing with the Lingxiao Palace and Canglong Army."

"Tonight is New Year's Eve, let's not talk about murder. We finally get together again, how about we find a place and have a drink?" Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.

"OK!"

Huang Yanchen thought about it carefully and said: "It is said that there is Kongle Mountain outside Shengming City. There is an ancient tower on the top of the mountain, which is seventy-four stories high and has a history of tens of thousands of years. Tonight is New Year's Eve, Shengming City must be It’s very lively, and you should be able to see the lights of the whole city from the top of the tower.”

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were a little confused, thinking of Chi Yao eight hundred years ago.

On New Year's Eve when she was sixteen, Chi Yao also said that she wanted to see all the lights of Shengming City.

So, Zhang Ruochen took her to Kongle Mountain, climbed to the top of the Yuanji Ancient Pagoda, and watched it all night.

"What's wrong?"

Huang Yanchen saw that Zhang Ruochen was a little distracted, so he asked.

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, forced out a smile, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of something I shouldn't have thought of. Let's go, let's go to Kong Leshan now."

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen did not fly, but walked to the top of Kongle Mountain.

Later, Zhang Ruochen released the Tunxiang Rabbit and the Demon Ape and asked them to guard under the tower, and no other monks were allowed to climb the tower.

"Don't worry, Master Chen. I, Guoguo, will patrol the mountain and guard the tower seriously and responsibly. No one can take a step forward." Tun Xiangtu said, patting his belly.

When Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen climbed to the top of the tower, the sky was already dark.

Above the sky is a bright sea of ​​stars; on the ground is an endless stretch of lights.

Huang Yanchen looked like a little bird, leaning his crystal white face against Zhang Ruochen's chest and said: "It's so quiet here, the scenery is so beautiful, how nice would it be if it could stay the same forever?"

"Eight hundred years ago, I thought so too."

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were sharp and he said: "But the trees want to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop. Finding peace is easier said than done?"

"yes!"

Huang Yanchen nodded, his crystal red lips moved slightly, and said: "The undead in the East Region, the Death Zen Cult in the South Region, the undead vampires in the North Region, the entire Kunlun Realm are harbingers of impending chaos, no one can It’s possible to be alone.”

"Brother Chen, I think you can recruit your old troops, form a sect first, and become the king of a separate kingdom. When the time is right, you can seize the Queen's world and rebuild the Shengming Central Empire."

Zhang Ruochen gently touched Huang Yanchen's pretty face, shook his head and smiled, saying: "Eight hundred years have passed, and even though there are still old troops loyal to the Shengming Central Empire, there are more people with ulterior motives."

"With my current cultivation level, I still can't suppress them. Once I recall my old troops, I'm afraid I will be used by others to hijack the emperor and order the princes. Therefore, at this stage, what I need to do most is to improve my cultivation level. "

"As long as you are strong enough, even if you don't have the identity of Crown Prince Shengming, many people will take the initiative to seek refuge with you."

Zhang Ruochen has always believed that only when one is strong can one be truly powerful.

With the help of external forces, there will eventually be many hidden dangers.

Zhang Ruochen rarely confides his feelings to others, but tonight is a special day, and he is surrounded by a very close woman. Even if you say some words hidden in your heart, it's not a big deal.

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen no longer talked about world affairs, but about their mutual experiences in the past.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also asked some things about his mother, and naturally felt relieved when he learned that she was fine.

The night is getting darker and darker, and the snowflakes in the sky are getting bigger and bigger.

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen drank a pot of wine together and leaned against each other. They did not feel cold, but instead felt an indescribable warmth.

When he was half drunk and half awake, Kong Lanyou's figure appeared in Zhang Ruochen's mind.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, is she still in the royal tomb? Is she also a person? Is she lonely too?

"Yanchen, let me take you to a place."

Zhang Ruochen hugged the half-asleep Huang Yanchen and stood up, but his eyes were looking in the direction of the royal tomb.

No matter how Kong Lanyou treats him, she is his cousin after all. As a cousin, shouldn't he be more open-minded?

Some things should be faced, and you still have to face them after all.

"Where are you going?" Huang Yanchen asked sleepily.

At this moment, there was no trace of coldness on her body. Instead, she looked like a confused girl in her teens, following Zhang Ruochen as she walked down the tower.

"After following me, you will naturally understand." Zhang Ruochen said.

Arriving at the foot of the tower, Zhang Ruochen smelled a strange aroma of meat. That aroma simply exceeded the limit of food aroma.

"Crackling."

Not far away, there was a huge fire, and the maid named Qing Mo was roasting a seven-meter-long wild bird.

The meat of the wild birds has been roasted until it is golden and translucent, and the fragrance it emits envelopes the entire Kongle Mountain.

The Tunxiang Rabbit and the Demon Ape still have a trace of the ferocious aura of barbaric beasts. They are like two greedy cats, lying behind Qing Mo, with laughter constantly flowing from their mouths.

"Sister Qingmo, how long will it take for it to be cooked?"

Tun Xiangtu was almost going crazy waiting, his eyes were bloodshot, and his two claws made two big holes in the ground.

The demon ape also stared at Qing Mo with a pair of pleading eyes.

Qing Mo pursed his lips and said with some disgust: "Why are you so greedy? You have already eaten four wild birds and you are not full yet? Especially you, Guo Guo, you are only a little older, how can you eat so much meat? "

Tun Xiangtu used his big chubby face to rub Qing Mo's body hard and said: "Who calls Sister Qing Mo's roasted meat the most delicious? Compared with yours, the skills of Master Hei and Master Chen are far behind. Eighteen thousand miles.”

Qing Mo tapped Tun Xiangtu on the head and said, "Okay! It's cooked and ready to eat!"

Zhang Ruochen walked over, ready to taste Qingmo's roasted meat.

Because the smell of the meat was so amazingly tempting that even though Zhang Ruochen had already reached the point of becoming inedible, he still couldn't help but want to eat a piece.

However, as soon as Qing Mo finished speaking, Tunxiang Rabbit and Demon Ape rushed forward and overturned the fire.

They fought with each other and devoured each other. In a matter of seconds, they devoured a seven-meter-long wild bird without leaving even a bone.

Tunxiangtu burped, patted his round belly, and said, "Sister Qingmo has a pair of wonderful hands. The roasted meat is not only delicious, but the meat is also like a panacea that can improve your cultivation."

Qing Mo couldn't stand the funny look of swallowing the elephant rabbit, so he covered his mouth and smiled, but suddenly saw Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen under the tower, so he immediately bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the princess, greetings to Mr. Zhang."

Tunxiangtu and Moyuan were worried about Zhang Ruochen's blame, so they pretended as if nothing had happened. They immediately straightened their backs, stood upright, showing a fierce and intimidating look, and began to patrol Kong Leshan.

"Master Chen asked me to patrol the mountains. After patrolling the east mountains, I will patrol the west mountains."

Tun Xiangtu shouted while patrolling.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and sighed. He always felt that Tun Xiangtu and Demon Ape were greatly influenced by Xiao Hei and became increasingly unreliable.

In the end, Zhang Ruochen still didn't blame them, and left Kong Leshan with Huang Yanchen, Qing Mo, Tunxiang Rabbit, and Demon Ape, heading towards the royal tomb forest.
