Unlocking
"Zichen-ge, are you asleep?"
Someone knocked on the door. Xia Keke, dressed in a purple dress, stood outside. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she continuously tiptoed as she peered into the room.
Creak.
The wooden door slowly opened, and Ye Zichen welcomed Xia Keke in with a smile.
"Why aren't you resting yet?"
"I knew you weren't asleep," Xia Keke squeezed through the crack in the door with a giggle.
Xia Keke giggled as she squeezed through the crack in the door. She paced around the room a few times like a fairy, then sat down on the wooden bed with her brows slightly furrowed.
"Your bed is so hard."
As she spoke, her little hands kept turning over the bedding on the bed, her face full of disgust.
"Do you think this is the Modern Realm? What good conditions can there be?"
Ye Zichen rolled his eyes in annoyance, then walked over to the chair in front of the window and sat down. He raised his eyebrows as he looked at Xia Keke, who was pouting on the bed. He suddenly recalled what the old Dragon God had said to him.
"This is for you."
Ye Zichen took the ring off his finger. Ye Zichen was rather surprised that he was able to take it off effortlessly.
It was as if the ring had grown out of his finger. It seems like the old Dragon God really doesn't want to follow me anymore.
"What?"
Xia Keke looked up and saw that the bone ring was already on her hand. She stared wide-eyed at the ring on her finger, then at Ye Zichen in astonishment.
"Dragon God Ring?"
"Mhmm."
Ye Zichen nodded with a smile, then looked at the ring longingly.
It could be said that the old Dragon God had helped him a lot on his path of cultivation. The dragon race's secret body tempering manual, and the strange time flow space.
Ye Zichen, who didn't have much talent, was able to catch up and even surpass the geniuses of the Immortal Region's younger generation at the fastest speed possible.
It could be said that most of it was due to the old Dragon God.
"The old Dragon God said that he wants to return to the dragon race. Put it in the ancestral hall or give it to your clan head when you return to the Beast Region."
"Okay."
Xia Keke might have declined if it was any other treasure, but this was the Dragon God Ring.
The person inside was the founding ancestor of the dragon race. She definitely didn't dare to push it around like it was an object.
Xia Keke carefully put it on her finger, then looked at Ye Zichen with pursed lips …
"Brother Zichen, you've become so strange."
"Why do you say that?" Ye Zichen shrugged in confusion. Xia Keke rolled her eyes, then pointed at her lips and pursed her lips, "The Zichen-ge I know is always smiling. No matter what, he always gives people a very relaxed feeling. But this time, when I followed everyone to look for you, I found that you were in a particularly low mood. "
"Really?"
Ye Zichen intentionally put on a relaxed expression and shrugged with a smile.
"Haven't I been laughing the whole time? How is it low?"
"Yes, I can feel it." Xia Keke bit her lip, got up from the bed, and walked over. She placed her finger between Ye Zichen's eyebrows. "You've been curled up and uncurled since I arrived. Also, when I came, the atmosphere was really oppressive. Susu and I were very worried about you. We were supposed to come together, but she didn't want to disturb you, so she didn't come. "
Ye Zichen smiled wryly apologetically as he listened to Xia Keke's explanation.
He reached out and grabbed Xia Keke's hand, then caressed her hair with his fingers.
"Sorry, I made you guys worry."
"Don't always say sorry, alright? You're the leader of the entire alliance right now. Your every word and action will determine the future of the alliance. To put it more selfishly, there's no need for you to shoulder everything. You're just an ignorant, money-loving citizen of the Modern Realm. Just when did you start to actually think of yourself as the savior of the world? "
"Don't be so selfless, don't be so righteous. Live for yourself. If you can handle it, then do it. If you can't, then just quit. Even if the sky falls, there will naturally be someone taller to hold it up. There are so many important people in the Three Realms, why is someone like you, who has lived for less than a fraction of their lives, going up? "
"You might as well learn from the ancient Cao Cao. It's fine to have the heart of a hero, but don't be too selfless. Live for yourself, then you'll be more relaxed than anyone else."
Ye Zichen's heart warmed when he heard Xia Keke's words of comfort, especially when he saw Xia Keke acting like a little adult and pointing out things. Ye Zichen suddenly felt like …
So weird.
"Who taught you that?"
"Oh, I already said that I would definitely find out," Xia Keke stuck out her tongue and scratched her head with a silly smile. "Susu told me to say it."
"Su Yan?"
"She didn't want to disturb you, and was afraid that you would put too much pressure on yourself. She just told me that if I came, I would say it to you. You don't know, but I recited it ten-odd times in front of her. She only let me go after confirming that there were no mistakes. "
Xia Keke's face scrunched up pitifully as she muttered.
"I didn't even take language lessons so seriously in elementary school. Susu is so mean."
Pfft.
Even though Ye Zichen had a myriad of emotions weighing down on him, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xia Keke's pitiful look.
"Hehe, you're finally smiling. That's right, you must smile more often. You always look like an old man, it's so ugly. "
Xia Keke blinked and wrinkled her nose.
"Well, my job is done, so I'll go back. Or should I stay with you for the night? "
As she said that, Xia Keke fiddled with the corner of her clothes. Ye Zichen reached out his hand and smacked her head, then scolded her with a smile.
"What nonsense are you thinking? Hurry up and go back to sleep."
"Who's small? I'm older than Lu Lu."
As she said that, she purposely puffed out her extremely large * cough cough cough * …
Seeing that Ye Zichen was determined not to ask her to stay the night, Xia Keke didn't insist. She was a lady, how could she shamelessly ask to stay the night?
When she left the room with a pout, Ye Zichen took a deep breath and sighed as he watched her leave.
"I've made them worry, Sister Xiang …"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This little guy is quite lucky with women." Xuan-Yuan Xiang, who had turned into her physical form, raised her eyebrows as she held the melon seeds in her hand. "From the looks of it, that little girl did pretty well to console you. What? Why did you call laoniang out? Could it be that the little girl's interest in staying the night was piqued by you, so laoniang wants laoniang to stay the night with you? Stop dreaming, laoniang is a chaste person … I … "
"Stop your wishful thinking, okay?" Ye Zichen rolled his eyes at her in annoyance. "I called you out to discuss that with you!"
Hearing that, Xuan-Yuan Xiang also placed all of the melon seeds in her hand onto the table with a serious expression.
"You've thought it through?"
"Yes!"
