C72 To hell

When Shangguan Wan returned to the Phoenixcloud Hall, she went up to him and reported in a low voice, "Empress, His Majesty will be sleeping at the Huiqin Hall tonight, so he won't be coming over."

"Mm, you can leave." Shangguan Wan was not too disappointed. When men and women were together, it was never appropriate to stick together every day, and sometimes they still had to give each other some space.

"Rao Xiu?"

"Luoluo, long time no see." The man turned and smiled at her.

Shangguan Wan nodded, "Yes, long time no see."

She remembered the last time they had met, she had let Nangong Yu misunderstand. But now that she thought about it, she knew that he had been jealous at that time.

Men are truly petty.

"By the way, how's the search for the Salty Spring Wood going? Do you have any leads? " As far as he was concerned, as long as she found the Aral Dawn Wood, she would be able to return to Qing Qiu. She would no longer have to stay in the Xuan Chu Palace.

He had been waiting for this day to come, but he didn't know that she had already changed her mind.

Shangguan Wan's eyes glinted. "Um, we still don't have any leads for now."

After entering the palace for so long, she had been so busy becoming husband and wife with the Emperor that she kept delaying official matters time and time again.

A look of disappointment passed over Rong Xiu's face. "I heard that you're on good terms with him. What, are you reluctant to leave?"

The two knew exactly who this "he" was referring to.

"I …"

"You're hesitating." "What I was worried about the most happened. You fell in love with him."

He was a little regretful that he had told her about the incident with the Salt Spring Wood. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here, and she wouldn't have used Shangguan Wan's identity to become husband and wife with that man called Nangong Yu.

The matters of this world were truly unfathomable. Why would a fox who had lived for nearly three hundred years fall in love with a mortal? Aren't they the most compatible?

"Yes, I love him. I can't leave him." She spoke firmly, without the slightest ambiguity.

When Rong Xiu heard this, he was short of breath, the veins on his forehead bulging. Hearing the word "love" coming out of her mouth made him dizzy.

"No, no!" He took a step forward and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. The room was brightly lit.

"You can't love him, he's a mortal, you won't have any results. If the elders knew, you will be tormented by the inferno of hell!" The Inferno Inferno Hell, as its name implied, was filled with flames. Life could not be lived, death could not be died, and only when one was completely filled with regret could they cut off all emotional ties with the mortals in order to free themselves.

"I know." How could she not know? She had always avoided this topic.

She had heard of the Inferno Hell that when some little fox Si Fan fell in love with a mortal man, the fox clan elder would send his subordinates to capture her and throw her there. When she came out, she was already riddled with scars, had forgotten all her emotional entanglements, and was' reborn '.

This was the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao did not allow humans and monsters to be together. Originally, not being able to have descendants was already pitiful enough.

"You know you still love him!" Rong Xiu's expression became ferocious. "Promise me you'll stay away from him, okay?" "He's just a mortal, and isn't worth your love. Think about it, he won't live for long before he dies. As for you, you can live for a thousand years, for ten thousand years …"

"I know." It was as if she could only say these two words in front of Rong Xiu.

She knew that Nangong Yu would leave this world before her, but she didn't want to care about that.

"Luoluo, think about your elder sister. If you enter the Inferno Hell, what will become of her?" How sad will she be? " He tried to convince her with Ghastly Clouds, but things like love were already difficult to find.

"Elder sister …" Shangguan Wan mumbled, then raised her eyes and asked earnestly, "Is sister well? If she's worried about me, it's all my fault. I should be looking for saltwood with all my heart. "

"Luoluo, let's not look for the Aral Dawn Wood anymore, let's go back to Qing Qiu. I won't tell anyone about this, you and your sister live a good life, I'll protect you, okay?"

She's crazy, he must be crazy too. He's worked so hard for so long yet now he wants her to give up? Rao Xiu, is this fox really that important in your heart?

"Go back?" Shangguan Wan wrinkled her brow, she could only return to her home like this and leave Nangong Yu behind. How could she possibly do that?

If that man treated her like a child and didn't care about her rules, then she would be the one to respect him. If she left just like that, how crazy would Nangong Yu be?

"Return …" Rong Xiu began to hesitate. He was too excited just now, so he made up his mind. He had to go back, but not now.

Luoluo, let's do it this way first. I'll give you a month's time, you should properly search for the Aral Dawn Wood. At that time, if you still can't find it, we can just go back to Qing Qiu.

Shangguan Wan didn't quite understand the man in front of her. She had been so excited just now, but now she changed her mind.

"Rao Xiu, salty wood, can you really remove my sister's birthmark?" She had once believed in his words, but now he gave her the impression that he had made a subtle change.

Rong Xiu smiled. "Of course you can. Why? You don't even trust me?"

He had been creating a good image of himself in front of her. When he had heard her say that she loved Nangong Yu and couldn't leave him, he had lost his composure.

"No, you are my best friend. How could I not believe you? But, after all, it's just a legend, so I had better clarify things for myself." Shangguan Wan forced a smile at him.

In the past, she lived in Qing Qiu and had no experience with the mortal world. She had no idea what was sinister about that. Ever since she came to the mortal world, she understood that the people with the best relationship could betray her.

King Rui betrayed Nanyan and rebelled on the day of his brother's birthday, intending to take her place. For the sake of survival, Wu Dan's father didn't hesitate to kill his own daughter.

It was then that she thought, on the surface, the peaceful foxes, could such a thing also exist? Betrayal and conspiracy intertwined.

But when he thought about it, how could that be possible? Since he was young, he had never lied to a childhood friend like Rong Xiu. He definitely wouldn't lie to him.

"Believe me, this is the only thing that can remove a birthmark." Rong Xiu emphasized it again.

"Alright, I'll do my best to find it." Shangguan Wan yawned, "It's already late, you should go first, go back to Qing Qiu and help me greet my sister."

Shangguan Wan purposely assumed a tired posture.

"Take care of yourself." After he finished speaking, he left the Phoenix Return Hall in the blink of an eye.

After she left, Shangguan Wan sat down and sighed deeply. Paper could not contain fire, and the elder would soon find out about her personal love for mortals. When that happened, perhaps she would not be as easy to talk to as she was today.
