Chapter 509 - Who Allowed You to Self-Destruct? III

It was unbelievable. His body froze slightly. He was afraid that it was all but a hallucination. He turned around rather gingerly.

‘Ten years!

‘They looked for her for ten years!

‘Finally, she’s there!’

Qing Yuan clenched his fists tightly. His breathing was rapid. His eyes were opened widely for fear that he might lose sight of any detail.

Nalan Hu had beaten Feng Qing and he was already lying on the ground. Nalan Hu stepped on him harshly and there was an arrogant and smug smile on his face.

But, Nalan Hu seemed to feel something and he raised his head slowly…

The sword in his hand fell onto the floor with a thud. It speared Feng Qing’s leg and blood gushed out. He gave a shrill cry of pain.

But, nobody was bothered about Feng Qing at that moment.

Nalan Hu, Nalan Zhangqian, and his son, and even Master Wei and the others… All of their eyes were fixed onto a woman not far away. Their eyes were filled with fright and shock. They looked like they had just met a ghost. Their eyes widened.

“You… You…” Qin Feiyang pointed at the girl who was wearing a light yellow long dress. His heart shook at that moment. He was so nervous that he could not even utter a complete sentence.

‘Her features, facial expression, and presence are exactly those of the empress. It’s impossible that it’s a mistake!

‘It’s impossible!

‘Isn’t she dead? Why is she still alive? Is she a zombie?

‘She might be a zombie. Look at her slim face. It seems like she’s undernourished. She might not get enough nutrients from the ground. So, she’s that slim after all those years.’

Feng Qing wanted to scold somebody but all the words died in his throat when he saw Nalan Yan.

He was frightened, nervous, and shocked.

He still did not hold back and his voice was shrill like the cry of a ghost and the howl of wolves.

“There’s a ghost!”

‘Empress Nalan!

‘How could Empress Nalan crawl out from the tomb?

‘Is it because of the attack on Liu Yun Kingdom that she is forced to come out from the tomb?

‘She’s really here to take revenge on us!’

Feng Qing burst into tears because he was frightened.

It was unknown as to how far a damage Nalan Yan had done to the people of the four kingdoms that year. They were trembling badly just by seeing her there. They just wanted to look for a place to hide.

Ziyan was different from the others compared to their shocks. She turned her head slightly to the side and she saw the excitement and happiness deep in Qing Yuan’s eyes. Her heart was heavy and she clenched her fists tightly.

‘What kind of relationship does that woman have with Qing Yuan?

‘No! Qing Yuan is mine. Nobody can take him away from me!’

Qing Yuan’s steps faltered and he stopped walking toward Nalan Yan when he heard her first sentence.

“Father, Elder Brother, Little Jing’er, I’m back…”

Nalan Yan looked past the numerous people in front of her.

Her gaze fell on her beloved family members.

There was only the Nalan family in her eyes. She never even notice Qing Yuan who was now pale not far away from her.

Nalan Hu was stunned. He held out his calloused hand and touched Nalan Yan’s face.

‘It’s warm.’

“Yan’er, are you still alive?”

Nalan Hu’s voice was shaky and he was afraid that he would not receive an answer that he wanted.

He was scared.

He was scared that Nalan Yan appeared as a ghost that day because of the war. He was afraid that it was all but a dream and when he woke up, his daughter would no longer be there.

Nalan Yan held Nalan Hu’s hand. She saw Nalan Hu’s white hair and she was sad—tears rolled down her cheeks.
