God Emperor - Chapter 1036

Chapter 1036: 1036

Kong Lanyou’s tears pinged when they dropped onto the ground . Each teardrop had solidified into a translucent bead . They glittered .

With her cultivation, a drop of her blood was able to pierce a mountain . A strand of her hair could cut a river .

A teardrop was naturally filled with saintly might as well . They were tens of thousands of times more valuable than the world’s most precious gems .

The Elephant-swallowing Rabbit picked up a teardrop the size of a mung bean . White saintly light instantly flooded out and covered its small claws .

Shocking divine power rushed into the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit, making its body crack and pop . In that instant, its physical strength increased substantially .

“This is good . ”

The Elephant-swallowing Rabbit’s eyes gleamed greedily . It grabbed the teardrops and shoved them into its mouth . It could tell that the white-haired woman wasn’t an enemy, so it ate without any worry .

At the moment, the white-haired woman was hugging Lord Chen . She was probably a lover that Lord Chen took care of on the side .

It felt that Lord Chen was being a bit too much . After all, Princess Yanchen was right there . Even if he was the Crown Prince and had a special status, he should still be more reserved . He couldn’t be so obvious .

What woman wouldn’t get jealous?

However, the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit didn’t think too much when it saw the teardrops that kept falling to the ground . It pounced instantly and picked them up, shoving them into its mouth .

After eating six beads, it felt something wrong . Its entire body swelled and felt burning heat surge out .

One teardrop contained a terrifying amount of divine power . A regular person couldn’t digest it at all and could die from bloating .

The Elephant-swallowing Rabbit was very greedy and had eaten six in a row .

The six teardrops hung in its body like six small suns . Its body kept expanding until it was dozens of meters tall . Flames shot out of it .

A huge burning rabbit appeared before everyone .

“Lord Chen, save me…” the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit cried, rushing toward Zhang Ruochen .

At the moment, Zhang Ruochen was enjoying his reunification with Kong Lanyou . They hadn’t seen each other in forever and had many things to talk about . They didn’t want to care about the rabbit at all .

Kong Lanyou waved her hand as if swatting a fly and sent the rabbit flying hundreds of feet away .

Glancing at the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit, Zhang Ruochen smiled but wasn’t worried for it . This rabbit was very unique . It could even digest the Divine Blood-red Earth, so it definitely wouldn’t die from swallowing six teardrops .

Kong Lanyou stood in the snow . Her long hair, even whiter than the snow, fell to the ground . Her eyes were still misty .

“Eight hundred years ago, I thought that you’d left me forever and would never come back . I don’t know how I lived through these 800 years . I seemed to have only done two things: cultivate and take revenge . Eight hundred years later, you appear again . My heart had died, but now, I see a shred of hope again . ”

“Do you know how shocked I was when I first heard news about you?” she continued . “How happy? How fearful?”

“Cousin, you’re so cruel . What reason could you have that would make you lie to me twice? I remember that you’d never lied to me before . You’ve always been straightforward with me . You’ve always cared about me the most . Don’t you know that my heart was torn apart whenever you lied to me?”

With that, pings sounded on the ground again . A large amount of translucent teardrops rolled .

Her emotions, pent-up for 800 years, were vented out at this moment . She couldn’t hold back at all .

Staring at Kong Lanyou’s face, Zhang Ruochen let out a long sigh .

He’d thought that Kong Lanyou wasn’t the Kong Lanyou from before . Eight hundred years would definitely change someone entirely .

Now, he discovered that she hadn’t changed at all .

The one who’d changed was he .

He didn’t dare to meet Kong Lanyou’s eyes . Looking into the distance, he said, “I didn’t think that you’d still be persistent after 800 years . Can’t time dilute someone’s feelings?”

Kong Lanyou looked at him with pitiful eyes . “Have you always been laughing at me inwardly, thinking that I’m still as stupid as before? I hadn’t become smarter after 800 years . ”

“No . ”

After a long silence, Zhang Ruochen extended a hand and patted Kong Lanyou’s hair softly . I’m sorry, he thought . I shouldn’t have lied to you or suspected you .

Kong Lanyou rested her face softly against Zhang Ruochen’s chest . Closing her eyes, she extended her snow-white arms and hugged Zhang Ruochen tightly .

Right now, she didn’t look like a Saint Elder of Sacred Central Crypt at all . A happy smile ghosted her lips .

She really hadn’t changed at all in 800 years .

There were always some people who had the most genuine and purest feelings . No matter how much time had passed, their hearts would still be exactly the same as before .

Just as Kong Lanyou had said, she’d only done two things throughout the 800 years: cultivated and taken revenge .

“Lord Chen, save me… I’m burning to death… I can’t…”

The fire on the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit burned even brighter . It ran toward Zhang Ruochen again .

Kong Lanyou sent it flying again . This time, it flew dozens of miles away . She really didn’t want it to come back .

In the distance, Qing Mo watched Zhang Ruochen and Kong Lanyou hug . Unhappiness colored her little face . Biting her lip lightly, she said, “Princess…”

Huang Yanchen glanced over and cut her off .

Zhang Ruochen and Kong Lanyou talked about many things, from childhood memories to recent experiences . They had a tacit agreement about not bringing up some sensitive things . They clearly didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere .

Kong Lanyou had calmed down and she smiled often .

“There’s something I have to tell you,” Zhang Ruochen said, trying his best to use a calm tone . “I’ve married Princess Yanchen . ”

Kong Lanyou bit her lips . Her smile was wiped away immediately . “Brother Chen, don’t you think you should introduce us? We’re a family now, after all . ”

Huang Yanchen walked over and stood with Zhang Ruochen . Instead of a cold expression, she had a rare smile on her face .

Zhang Ruochen pointed at Kong Lanyou . “Cousin, Kong Lanyou . ” Then he pointed at Huang Yanchen to introduce her .

However, Kong Lanyou spoke first . “No need to introduce her a second time . I know that she’s your wife, Huang Yanchen . Cousin, I have a question . Have you moved on from Chi Yao so quickly?”

“What’s the point of bringing up the past?”

Zhang Ruochen’s smile disappeared . He didn’t answer Kong Lanyou and just turned around to stare at the headstone in the distance .

“For the next few days, I’ll stay to guard my mother’s tomb . ”

Kong Lanyou didn’t force Zhang Ruochen to answer her question . “I’ll accompany you . ”

Zhang Ruochen nodded . “When I entered the Royal Tombs, I saw battle corpses left behind by the Necromancer Race . There were signs of a battle too . Did you defeat them?”

“I never left this place . ” Kong Lanyou’s eyes turned thoughtful . She shook her head and suddenly thought of something . “Perhaps it’s that person . ”

“Who?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

“That person must be a tomb guard . I met him more than once in the Royal Tombs . However, he was always hidden . He thinks that he can hide from my senses but doesn’t know that I’ve already sensed him . ”

So there really was a guard . Zhang Ruochen was instantly reassured .

With the guard’s abilities and the emperor-level formations of the Royal Tombs, the Necromancer Race wouldn’t be able to easily steal his ancestors’ corpses, no matter how mysterious their tricks were .

Just then, the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit made another weird sound in the distance . Leaving a blazing trail, it flew back . “Lord Chen, save me… I saw a ghost! He chased me and wanted to eat me . Thankfully, I lost him!”

Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brow, feeling a headache coming . He really wanted to knock the rabbit unconscious so it would stop freaking out all the time .

Qing Mo stood behind Huang Yanchen . Covering her mouth, she giggled . “The Royal Tombs has a sacred strength that can kill ghosts so there aren’t any evil beings . Guoguo, did your brain melt?”

“No, it really is a ghost . It looks just like a living being . ”

Guoguo rushed to Qing Mo and panted heavily .

Seeing how serious the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit was, Qing Mo grew more convinced . Curious, she asked, “What exactly does the ghost look like?”

Gesturing with its claws, the rabbit said, “He looks like a menacing old monk with yellow teeth and leering eyes . He almost grabbed my tail, saying he wants to eat me . Thankfully, I ran fast enough . Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable!”

Seeing how serious it was, Zhang Ruochen’s expression turned grave too .

Whoosh .

An old monk appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s sight .

Zhang Ruochen uttered a small noise and immediately looked to the center of the square .

The old monk was dressed in a loose robe and held a wine gourd . Like a real ghost, he appeared out of thin air before them all .

Guoguo’s fur stood up straight . Pointing at the old monk, it screamed, “Ghost! Lord Chen, it’s that old ghost!”

Only surprise flashed past Zhang Ruochen’s eyes . His emotions didn’t actually fluctuate .

Kong Lanyou’s cultivation was very advanced . No matter if the old monk was friend or foe, he probably didn’t dare to cause trouble .

He was only surprised because he’d seen this old monk at the Cai Family’s banquet . Everyone had thought that he was an independent martial artist who was there for free food .

Kong Lanyou walked over . Powerful Holy Qi rippled off of her, forming layers of saintly halos . Her eyes were as bright as stars . “This isn’t where you should be,” she warned . “Leave immediately . ”

The old monk’s eyes were fearful when they fell upon Kong Lanyou . Then he turned toward Zhang Ruochen . He lowered onto one knee and saluted Zhang Ruochen with his fists . “Zhao Fu of the 36 Heavenly Spirits of the Guarding Dragon Pavilion . I came to guard the Royal Tombs under the pavilion lord’s orders . Since the Crown Prince has arrived, I must come to greet you . ”

Clearly, the old monk had been hiding and watching Zhang Ruochen’s every move . He hadn’t shown himself until he was sure of Zhang Ruochen’s identity .
