He sat down beside his mother. Even though he was now the king of the River of Forgetfulness, he was still like a child in front of her.

What happened to the ancient country of Wenchuan? Have you found the Earth Essence Stone? Yun Rong asked with concern.

Everything in the ancient country was fine, so Imperial Mother need not worry. As for the Earth Origin Stone, Xue'er had already found it. Forgetfulness nodded with a smile.

Then, as if he had felt something, he looked out of the sea of flowers and shouted. Xue'er.

Outside, a beautiful figure slowly walked towards them. Her black hair was fluttering in the wind and her eyes were clear. She was none other than Forgotten Snow.

Father, Grandma. Forgetfulness Snow bowed slightly.

Come sit next to Grandma, Xue'er. Wu Chuangrong smiled and waved her hand. She lightly nodded her head and sat down next to Grandma.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Forgetfulness Snow clearly explained the whole story.

Yi Zhou wanted to see the Divine Empress. This was the only way he would hand over the Earth Essence Stone to the Ancient Kingdom.

And what choice did they make? Agree or not agree?

After a long while, Yi Zhou finally arrived at an incomparably towering palace along with Forgotten Snow. Through the frescoes, he entered the sea of flowers.

The moment he stepped into the fresco, Yi Zhou's expression froze. This place was actually extremely similar to the place that Senior Shen Ao Cang resided.

We pay our respects to the Divine Empress and the King. Yi Zhou slightly bowed.

At this moment, the Divine Empress waved her hand, causing both Forgotten Chuanche and Forgotten Snow to turn around and leave.

I heard that you obtained the Earth Essence Stone at the first level of the Invigorated Meridian Realm. And you exchanged it for an Earth Essence Stone to see me? The Divine Empress said to Yi Zhou.

Exactly. Yi Zhou nodded.

I think you should be clear about the importance of Earth Essence Stones to the Forgotten Ancient Kingdom. You might not be able to imagine what it could be used to exchange for. The Divine Empress smiled faintly. Her smile was very amiable and very infectious.

Yi Zhou laughed as he shook his head. When I was entrusted by someone, I naturally wanted to do a good job. Losing some things is not a big deal.

Good boy. The Divine Empress laughed, then waved her hand, indicating for Yi Zhou to sit.

Yi Zhou smiled and nodded, no longer pretending. He directly sat in front of the Divine Empress.

Who asked for it? What was he supposed to do? The Divine Empress asked.

Taixuan Mountain, Senior Shen Ao Cang. Yi Zhou said in a heavy voice.

With that said, she immediately struck the Divine Empress's heart like a bolt of thunder. Her expression was frozen and complicated, as if her entire body had been frozen.

This strange and familiar name once again appeared in her ears.

After the Divine Empress fell silent for a long time, her incomparably gloomy eyes gradually regained their senses. She muttered these words in a low voice, her tone filled with disappointment.

It's been a hundred years. Why would he want you to come at a time like this?

Just then, Yi Zhou waved his hand, and the four paintings that Senior Shen Ao Cang gave him floated in the air.

At the same time, a page of letter paper along with a single tree branch appeared before the Divine Empress.

The Divine Empress, this flower is Senior Shen's answer. Yi Zhou said in a heavy voice.

Connecting Flowers? The Divine Empress's cloudy eyes flashed slightly. When she saw the flower, she forced her tears to finally uncontrollably flow down her face.

Blossom: A love that is unshakable.

This is... Shen Ao Cang's answer.

Even if they had never been together.

At this moment, the Divine Empress unfolded the somewhat yellowed letter. It should have been written by Shen Ao Cang a long time ago.

The words on the letter seemed to be slightly twisted, presumably because Shen Ao Cang's hands were trembling slightly. The Divine Empress suddenly laughed, her eyes filled with tears.

It turned out that the him back then had deeply loved her.

Yun Rong …

Since the day we met, I've …

As the words were spread out, it was hard to clearly make out what was written. However, Yun Rong was able to see the figure that was lying at the front of the table, feeling extremely conflicted.

He didn't know what to say, didn't know what to say.

The words were scrawled.

Looking down at the handwriting, she seemed to see his determination.

Because it was clearly written on it.

Yun Rong, can you marry me?

Hot tears streamed down Yun Rong's face, and she hugged the yellowed letter tightly to her chest, as if she was feeling Shen Ao Cang's warmth.

Unfortunately, in the end, they were unable to be together.

Wu Chuan Rong's eyes were misty and filled with tears as she thought back to her youth. At that time, her heart had been as cold as ice, and she had fallen into despair towards Shen Ao Cang.

However, she hadn't forgotten him in the past hundred years.

Otherwise, how could there be the sea of flowers within the frescoes?

After sobbing for a long time, she finally raised her head and looked at Yi Zhou as she asked. How was he now?

Yi Zhou cupped his fists. Don't worry, Senior Shen is fine.

That was enough. Wu Chuan Yun Rong wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and her hazy eyes looked at the four painting scrolls floating in the air. They had completed them together.

Was he the one who solved the mystery of the flower in this painting? Yun Rong suddenly looked towards Yi Zhou and asked.

Yi Zhou's expression was complex, it was obvious that he was hesitating, and for a moment, he did not know how to respond.

Seeing Yi Zhou's reaction, she knew.

I knew the guy was the same. Yun Rong shook her head. Although Shen Ao Cang had given her the answer in the end, she was still disappointed.

The Divine Empress, in truth, Senior Shen has spent these past hundred years painstakingly studying these four paintings. He has never stopped and has only failed to comprehend them. Yi Zhou helped Shen Ao Cang explain.

No need to explain him. Wu Chuan Yun Rong said with a faint smile. I know his morals.

Yi Zhou did not speak further, his expression becoming complicated. Although this kind of love was not perfect, it was still extremely precious.

At this moment, he thought of Yi Yi.

Yi Zhou did not continue to disturb him. After bidding farewell to the Divine Empress, he left the fresco space. He had done everything that Senior Shen had entrusted him with.

After leaving, the Divine Empress returned the four paintings to Yi Zhou. Since he had gifted them to her, she would not oppose it.

Outside the mural space, the Emperor of Wenchuan Ancient Kingdom, and the Holy Maiden, Wangchuan Xue, were both waiting.

The transaction was completed. Yi Zhou glanced at Wu Chuanxue, and then waved his hand and threw the ancient book.

Wangchuan Che's expression froze as he carefully examined the volume of the ancient book. Suddenly, he felt as if he had seen a magnificent scene in an ancient book. Within the volume, dots of light flickered as cold air permeated the air.

However, other than that terrifying cold Qi, there seemed to be another will hidden within the ancient book. That will was like a blade as it was carved into the stone bit by bit. Hence, it was named Earth Essence Stone.

However, this will that was hidden within the stone inscription seemed to only be able to be activated by the direct line of descent of the Ancient River of Forgetfulness, so he was not worried about Yi Zhou inheriting this will, as it was impossible.

Thank you. Forgetfulness Snow nodded at Yi Zhou.

Goodbye. With that, Yi Zhou turned and left, heading towards the courtyard he was staying in.

Afterwards, Forgetfulness Creek and Forgotten Snow entered the murals together to search for the Divine Empress. They wanted to know just what was going on.

The Divine Empress inwardly shook her head as she looked at the somewhat cold gaze of Wu Chuanxue with her cloudy eyes. This girl was still so ignorant of the affairs of the world. She knew very little about the affairs between men and women.

That child Mo Fan was extremely handsome. It was hard to find such a handsome person in the Ancient River of Forgetfulness. Not only that, his talent was exceptional, and his character was also good. He was someone worth entrusting his entire life to. The Divine Empress muttered to herself, then her gaze fell upon Forgotten Snow. What do you think, Xue'er?

If possible, A'mama will help you arrange it.

As soon as she finished speaking, her pupils gradually enlarged as a peculiar expression flashed across her beautiful eyes. She understood the meaning behind Ah Shou's words. She wanted to match them up …

Grandma, Xue'er has never considered the relationship between a man and a woman. Forgetfulness Snow's voice was cold and her tone was heavy.

Xue'er, previously, your royal father and Grandma did not allow you to think about the matters between men and women because you are the Holy Maiden of the ancient country and have your own responsibilities. The Divine Empress leisurely advised.

Forgetfulness Snow was also quietly listening, and then she heard the Divine Empress continue. Xue'er, believe in Ah Ma's judgement. Yi Zhou, is it really worth you to entrust your entire life to her? Also, if you don't choose him, are you sure you won't regret it? He had to think carefully.

I... Forgetfulness Snow hesitated, not knowing what to do.

Just as Grandma had said, that day would come sooner or later, and furthermore, she had a pretty good impression of Yi Zhou.

Then this matter was decided. A hint of a smile appeared in the Divine Empress's eyes. She naturally understood her granddaughter's personality. She was indifferent towards everything.

But she believed in her eyes. She believed that the person who would be able to unravel the mystery behind the flower in her painting wouldn't be a bad person.

Yi Zhou was indeed a good choice.

Xue'er, go call him. The Divine Empress said.

Yes. Forgetful Snow nodded.

For this, Wu Chuan Che did not object. It was already enough that Yi Zhou had talent to obtain the Earth Origin Stone, and since Imperial Mother had said so, it was likely that Yi Zhou's character and character was not bad either.

Now that his daughter had grown up, it was time to think about this.

Not long after, Yi Zhou was brought here.

This junior greets the Divine Empress, Your Majesty. Yi Zhou bowed.

Yes. The Divine Empress calmly nodded and said to Yi Zhou with a smile in her eyes. Have you been living well in the palace these past few days?

Everything was fine. Many thanks to the Divine Empress for her concern. Yi Zhou thanked her, but he faintly felt that things wouldn't be this simple.

What do you think of the Holy Maiden's appearance? What is your character like? The Divine Empress smiled and casually said.

Yi Zhou's expression suddenly changed. What does that mean?

He looked at Forgotten Snow, who was standing next to him. She was as cold as an iceberg, and her face was expressionless, as if she had no emotions at all.

The Holy Maiden was naturally beautiful. Yi Zhou nodded.

Could it be that she wasn't pretty?

I'm afraid I won't be able to leave here alive.

In the entire ancient country of Wangchuan, whether it was appearance or talent, no one could be compared with Xue'er. The Divine Empress also began to praise him.

It was precisely because Xue'er was too outstanding that the men of the Ancient River of Forgetfulness were unable to match up to Xue'er. The Divine Empress said to Yi Zhou.

Thus, her marriage …

Yi Zhou was speechless, and didn't know what to say.

If I betroth Xue'er to you, what do you think? The Divine Empress's gaze fell on Yi Zhou, a smile on his face, and his tone was very calm.

In that moment, Yi Zhou's entire body tensed, and could not help but shiver. If it was anyone else, they would probably laugh out loud, but if placed with Yi Zhou, they would not be able to cheer him up.

What should Yi Yi do?

Now that he was in the ancient country of Forgotten Rivers and the Divine Empress had spoken like this, one could imagine how great the pressure was.

My words are light, and my talent is mediocre. How can I be worthy of the Holy Maiden? Yi Zhou rejected it with a smile.

On the side, a gleam of disappointment flashed across Forgotten Snow's beautiful eyes.

She had never thought that there would actually be a man who would reject her.

Then what if I say, are you worthy? The Divine Empress opened her mouth and said, her tone somewhat cold.

At the same time, an invisible pressure landed on Yi Zhou's body. It was the aura of the Divine Empress.

Yi Zhou was dumbstruck. What, could he still force him?

Senior Shen, the Divine Empress is a bit unreasonable. Were you always bullied at that time?
