looking at the familiar scene, the flowers and plants in the courtyard were lush and exuded a strong fragrance that permeated the air.
the entire floor was clean and tidy, without a speck of dust. it seemed that someone often came to clean it.
Xiao ran held Zi ‘er’s hand and strolled leisurely from the front yard to the backyard. They strolled around the entire place and finally stopped at the man-made lake.
He had set up an array here to separate the man-made lake from the ornamental River. There was also the spiritual spring he had planted. The lake water was clear and clean, full of vitality. Standing on the water, one could see the bottom of the lake at a glance.
the entire bottom was paved with gold, and there were also precious gemstones. the gold alone was worth more than 100000 taels, and if the gemstones were included, the value would probably be even higher.
The breeze blew, blowing their long hair, bringing with it the fresh and moist smell of the lake.
there were no outsiders present, so zi ‘er no longer needed to wear the bamboo hat. she took it off and put it away. although she had not changed back to her original appearance, it could not hide her noble and cold aura.
Especially after being together for such a long time, she had a mature smell on her.
she blinked her eyes playfully and reached out her hand, which was as white as a piece of suet jade, to caress xiao ran’s face. ” hubby, can you accompany me to take a bath? ”
“Alright,” he said. Xiao ran agreed.
No matter how tight the time was, since she had already asked, he had to agree.
Both parties knew that they would be busy once they returned to the capital city of great Xia. Zi ‘er was better off as she was only Xiao ran’s wife. However, Xiao ran was different. He had official positions such as the chief of the Imperial prison, the divine sword guard, and the purple sword guard. In addition to his military achievements at the border, the Imperial court would immediately confer him the title of Marquis or even King once news of him was spread.
As for the result ...
It had been a long time since the war on the border had ended, and the Dukes of the Imperial court had probably already decided on who to appoint.
he had not been around, so even if the higher-ups wanted to reward him, they could not do so.
He took out two ten-thousand-year-old red spiritual dates and handed them to Zi ‘er.
Zi ‘er stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the face. Then, she ate the two ten-thousand-year-old red spiritual dates quietly.
Her Jade-like hands glided gently, and like a mischievous fish, she jumped into the lake.
“hurry up, my husband!”
He swam in the lake and played with the water to his heart’s content, causing ripples to form.
“they’re here.” xiao ran smiled.
He took off the purple gold battle armor and jumped into the lake, splashing a huge splash. He stood at the bottom of the lake and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in front of him.
happy times were always short. no matter how reluctant they were, there would be times when they would part.
By the lake.
zi ‘er fastened xiao ran’s seven-colored jade belt and tidied his collar. she said gently, ” “i’ll be waiting for you at home!”
After watching her disappear, Xiao ran retracted his gaze and walked out.
there were too many things to deal with at the moment. when he got back, he would refine gold one and gold two again with the many refining materials he had accumulated. in addition, he would refine eight more puppets to enhance the strength of the house.
As for Xiao Wu and the rest, as soon as they returned home, they brought the evil god across the wooden bridge and ran to the house opposite Vermillion Bird square to play.
Especially the canopy great country.
After leaving home for such a long time, its mysterious space must have produced a lot of treasures. It was already impatient.
after a while.
When Xiao ran reappeared, he was already in the Imperial prison.
Although the guards at the gate were prepared and had already guessed that the 12th sword had arrived, they were still shocked when they saw him.
“Brother Xiao, you’re back!” zhang yu quickly walked up to him.
the 12th sword had just mentioned that xiao ran would arrive later, so he had taken it to heart and waited at the door.
He rushed to Xiao ran and stopped in front of him.
“we’ve missed you so much when you weren’t around,”
“not bad! you’ve improved again.” Xiao ran sized him up and patted his shoulder in satisfaction.
zhang yu was very embarrassed and did not dare to take credit for it. he pointed at the heavenly prison, where xiao ran had set up a spirit gathering formation. with yang ping ‘an’s guidance from time to time, it was not surprising that he had his current cultivation.
“all good?” Xiao ran asked.
Zhang Yu knew what he was most concerned about. He patted his chest and promised, ” brother Xiao, don’t worry. Everything is fine. Nothing went wrong.
He paused for a moment.
he lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear,”but after you left, his highness” appetite has been very small, far less than when you were here.”
“Yes.” xiao ran nodded.
He brought him into the Imperial prison. He couldn’t wait to see the eldest Princess.
she rejected him from following her and asked him to send a letter to xiao zhou and the others to call them out for a gathering at night.
The closer they got to purgatory, the more complicated Xiao ran’s feelings became. There was excitement and awkwardness. She had left without saying a word for such a long time. With her character, even if she didn’t say it, she would probably have complaints in her heart!
With complicated feelings, he still stepped into purgatory.
No matter how long they left, the environment of Inferno hell didn’t change at all. It was extremely terrible, and anyone with a slightly weaker cultivation base would instantly have their soul scattered upon entering.
In the first cell.
A familiar laughter could be heard. It was the eldest princess’s voice.
There was also Princess Qing ning’s voice. The 12th sword was admitting his mistakes like an obedient baby and making all kinds of promises that he would come back earlier the next time he went out.
