"It's not that I don't want to make a move on you, but I feel that you are very dangerous. Making a move on you might cause trouble! Also, when did I save you? "Ye Lang asked with some doubt.
"Have you forgotten … At that time, I wasn't underwater …" When Zhao Yarou said this, her face turned red again. Fortunately, there was only Ye Lang here. If there was anyone else present, they might have been scared to death.
That's right, when Zhao Yarou was abnormal like this, she would often do frightening things.
"Oh, you're talking about that time. I was just impulsive and couldn't bear to save you, little witch." When Ye Lang said this, he didn't seem to regret his words, because he didn't regret it at all.
"The little witch is Li Yue, but I'm not!"
"That's right, you're not the little witch, you're the big devil." Ye Lang said.
"…"
Zhao Yarou fell silent and didn't say anything else. She just followed Ye Lang to the front. In this beautiful and vast prison, they had to find a place to live. Now was just the beginning. Don't forget, they were going to be here for ten years.
At this time, Zhao Yarou didn't want to say anything else, because there were still many, many days to come.
"Zhao Yarou, why are you following me!"
After the two of them walked step by step without making a sound for a period of time, Ye Lang asked indifferently.
"If I don't follow you, who do I follow? There are only the two of us here. You're the only one I can rely on now, my good brother-in-law …" Zhao Yarou held Ye Lang's hand and said in a relaxed manner, as if she really was a little girl who needed someone to rely on.
At this time, Zhao Yarou had a kind of captivating cuteness. If it was anyone else, they would not associate her with that perverted woman. However, this expression, it seemed that no one could see it. Zhao Yarou seemed to have such an expression only when she was in front of Ye Lang.
At this moment, Ye Lang did not notice this. He only shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this time. I'm talking about before. When I was locked up here, you didn't need to accompany me at all. Why did you follow me?"
Zhao Yarou was stunned. She didn't expect Ye Lang to ask this, nor did she expect Ye Lang to notice this.
"I don't know. Maybe my brain is fried. Instead of living a good life as an emperor, I have to accompany you in this prison." After a long time, Zhao Yarou finally answered this question. During this time, Ye Lang did not say anything, as if he was waiting for Zhao Yarou to answer his question.
After Zhao Yarou finished speaking, Ye Lang simply said, "You're just brushing me off!"
"…" Zhao Yarou fell silent.
"If you have something to say, then just say it. Now that it's only the two of us, there's no need to hide anything." Ye Lang said indifferently as he looked ahead.
Qi … "Zhao Yarou fell silent again. Her expression became very complicated, as if she was fighting with herself. She was hesitating whether to tell the secret in her heart or not.
She had hidden these things for so long. Now that she had said it, she felt that it was not worth it. However, it was just as Ye Lang had said. There were only the two of them now, and they were going to be alone for ten years.
Ten years was a long time. Anything could happen. Could he keep the secret in his heart?
Also, ten years had passed. His goal had been achieved, so what was there to hide?
"No, I won't tell you. Before I obtain the world, I won't tell you!" In the end, Zhao Yarou still decided not to tell Ye Lang. Even if she had to stay here with Ye Lang for ten years, even if her goal could be achieved, even if an accident could happen, making it impossible for her to explain.
She would still choose not to tell Ye Lang. This was her obsession, her only belief for the past ten years!
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Actually, I know even if you don't say it. I'm not that stupid." Ye Lang said indifferently. His tone was filled with emotions, as if he really knew something.
"What do you know?" Zhao Yarou asked Ye Lang nervously.
"I know, you must be reluctant to part with me!" Ye Lang said with a smile.
"..."
"It's not good for sister-in-law to rely on brother-in-law like this. This problem is very serious and must be corrected."
Zhan "..."
After a moment of silence, Zhao Yarou looked at the "sky" and faintly said, "I can't bear to part with you. I want to rely on you, but you always despise me and never let me follow you. You even said that I'm a perverted woman …"
"..." Ye Lang was silent. At this time, he seemed to have thought of something, something that he had forgotten.
"I just want to prove to you that I can do what you said. At that time, you can't despise me anymore … But, if it's because of this, you have to stay here alone for ten years, unable to have your muscles … This time is too long, I can't accept it!"
"That's why I followed you here!"
Zhao Yarou said in a daze, as if she was narrating the pain and contradiction in her heart!
Ye Lang was silent. He could feel the pain and contradiction in Zhao Yarou's heart. At this time, he actually realized that he also felt pain in his heart, as if his heart was aching for Zhao Yarou.
Why was this?
Ye Lang didn't know right now. He only vaguely understood something, and that was that the things that Zhao Yarou had done, the things that she felt were perverted, might be because of him, because of some of the things that he had said.
If that was really the case, then how should he face her, how should he face other people …
This, was really too scary!
At this moment, Zhao Yarou was thinking about something. She felt that what she had done was very foolish, but she wouldn't regret it. She wouldn't regret coming here and giving up all her previous efforts, even if all her previous efforts were wasted.
Although she wanted Ye Lang to stay here for ten years, it was to solve the problem of Ye Lang. In her calculations, her only obstacle to unifying the world was Ye Lang. As long as Ye Lang could disappear for ten years, her problem would be solved.
And if she disappeared, she couldn't let Ye Lang die. If it was someone else, she would definitely make them die, but she couldn't do it for Ye Lang.
Since that was the case, she could only put Ye Lang under house arrest and imprison him. However, under normal circumstances, no matter where Ye Lang was placed, he would always escape. This was something that was bound to happen, it was only a matter of time.
It was also because of this that Zhao Yarou thought of this place. This was a place that was specially used to imprison alchemy geniuses like Ye Lang. This was the Heavenly Craftsmen Yue clan's top-notch prison. Even ordinary alchemy geniuses wouldn't have the opportunity to be imprisoned here.
As for the ten years, Zhao Yarou had calculated all the possibilities. Ten years was the best time, and a tighter five years was the best. But the possibility of not being able to solve the problem was too high, so she chose ten years.
However, ten years of time made her feel that it was too long. If Ye Lang was outside, even if he wasn't by her side, she would at least be able to receive news about Ye Lang. In that case, it would be enough for her, and she wouldn't feel anything.
But in this place, she knew that there wouldn't be any news about Ye Lang outside. Ten years without any news about Ye Lang was a little unacceptable to her.
At that moment, she felt that it was so hard to accept that she had to give up everything. She gave up on the plan that she had prepared for a long time, and she gave up on her position as Empress.
This was a very contradictory thing. Clearly, this was because of the needs of the plan, but because of this, she had to give up on the plan.
Perhaps this was the contradiction in life. Some contradictions appeared so suddenly that people didn't know how to choose, because it was necessary to give up on one aspect.
At times like this, some people would find it very difficult to choose, and often, they would miss the opportunity to choose, because at times like this, time waits for no one, and the opportunity to choose might just disappear in a flash.
At such a time, it depended on whether one could think clearly, and at the same time, one had to be decisive, or else one would regret it for the rest of one's life.
Just like this time, Zhao Yarou only had the opportunity to make a choice in such a short period of time, but she still chose the outcome she wanted. Other than being a decisive person, it was more or less because of Ye Lang's position in her heart.
Perhaps five years later, Dorchid was right. Zhao Yarou's feelings for Ye Lang would not be any weaker than anyone else's, everyone's, anyone's!!!
Perhaps this was a kind of obsession, an obsession that only Zhao Yarou herself could understand, an obsession that only she herself would know!!
Regarding this obsession, Ye Lang might be able to feel it, or he might not be aware of it!!
"What did I say to you? What did I ask you to do?" Ye Lang asked, a little confused. What did he say when he was young? He no longer had a deep impression of it.
It couldn't be said that he was heartless and had forgotten all these things. It could only be said that at that time, a part of his soul was still missing, and some things were very vague, so he really couldn't remember them.
If Zhao Yarou didn't say anything, then Ye Lang wouldn't be able to remember the details unless a special situation occurred. However, this special situation was basically impossible.
"It's nothing … it doesn't matter now …" Zhao Yarou smiled and pulled Ye Lang forward.
At this time, the two of them were not walking forward aimlessly. They weren't strolling around to kill time. They were just walking for the sake of walking.
The two of them walked towards a building in front of them. That's right, a building. In this unknown space, there was such a building that was very obvious in Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou's line of sight.
What was this building? Was it a sign that someone had been here, or was there someone else here?
Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou still didn't know the answer to this. However, they weren't too surprised by the appearance of this building. Instead, they felt that it was a very normal thing.
The reason was very simple. Since this place was called a prison, there should naturally be prison cells, and this building should be a prison cell. However, this building was different from an ordinary prison cell. From the outside, it was completely a large manor.
"Could it be that there are a lot of people here at once?"
Ye Lang asked from the entrance of the manor. The size of the manor caused an adjournment and a question from the higher-ups!
Here, using Ye Lang's rough estimation, there were at least a hundred rooms, divided into several building groups, and between each building group, there was a passage. This passage was not open, and it was all covered with tiles.
At least a hundred people could live here, and this was said to be a loose distribution. If it was a little more crowded, with more than two people in a room, it would be even more.
This caused Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou to feel very strange. Just how many people had been locked up before this? With the design of the prison, there shouldn't be more than ten people. Wouldn't it be too extravagant for ten people to live in such a large place?
Was this still a prison cell? This was better than a lifetime's dream residence. In addition to this beautiful scenery, this fresh and carefree air, this was definitely a holy land for cultivation.
"Not bad. If we live here for ten years, at least we won't have to eat and sleep in the open." Zhao Yarou said with a smile.
There was no need to eat and sleep in the open. With so many rooms, even if there were ten Zhao Yarou, they would still be able to live here. Moreover, the facilities inside were very complete.
"Zhao Yarou, I've checked. Not only are there bedrooms here, there's also a hall, a dining room, a bathroom, a training ground, a studio, a laboratory … In short, everything you can think of, it's here!"
After Ye Lang ran in alone to check, Zhao Yarou, who was in the courtyard outside, was feeding the fish. She didn't know what kind of fish it was, but it was actually still alive, and it was very lively and beautiful.
It wasn't that she didn't want to be with Ye Lang, but Ye Lang's speed was too fast, and she lost track of him in an instant, so she could only feed the fish in the courtyard.
"What kind of place is this …" After hearing Ye Lang's words, Zhao Yarou was stunned for a while before she reacted.
"I don't know. I think this might be to allow the people here to cultivate, and also to allow people to cultivate in seclusion, so that they won't stagnate. I just found a library tower, and there are many long-lost books in the tower! Zhao Yarou, I'll have something to do for the next ten years … "Ye Lang became very excited when he reached the end of his sentence.
"What?" Zhao Yarou was stunned. She still didn't expect this result.
Perhaps neither of them knew that although the Heavenly Works Yue Clan locked up people, they provided them with the best cultivation environment, so that people could concentrate on cultivation here and not live a boring life.
Wasting time was a shameful behavior. As alchemists, they agreed on this the most. Most of the people in the Heavenly Works Yue Clan were alchemists, so they paid more attention to this problem.
Therefore, they prepared the most perfect things and the most complete books here. They collected almost all the books on the continent back then. Of course, some of them were copied.
They were all books on technology, and there were no books on humanities or history. Perhaps alchemists didn't like these and felt that they were all a waste of time.
Because of this, Ye Lang could only read books on alchemy and magic. He had no idea what happened in the ancient times.
However, these things were enough to make Ye Lang excited. They were all left behind from the ancient times, and they were ancient alchemy techniques that had been lost long ago.
If the things left behind from the ancient ruins were physical objects and alchemy devices for people to study, what Ye Lang had now was the alchemy techniques that had been created.
In terms of value, the things here were far more valuable than those outside!
Perhaps Zhao Yarou hadn't expected this, but even so, it didn't matter. Zhao Yarou only wanted Ye Lang to see her rule the world. It didn't mean that she wanted to continue ruling.
If it was said that she did not come in and Ye Lang came out ten years later and overthrew her regime, she would not mind at all, because she had already achieved what she wanted, and everything else did not matter.
"It's useless even if there's a laboratory. You can't use magic elements. It's just a decoration," Zhao Yarou said.
"Alchemy doesn't just use magic elements. There are many other things that you can learn for the rest of your life," Ye Lang said with a smile, shaking his head.
"It's best if you can. Otherwise, how will I spend the next ten years? I don't want to face you every day," Zhao Yarou said with a smile.
"You don't want to face me? That's fine. In the future, you can live in that house, and I'll live in this one. That way, we won't meet again." Ye Lang pointed to the two sides of the courtyard. If they really did as he said, they really wouldn't meet again.
"No, I'll be afraid if I'm alone. Brother-in-law, I want to follow you." Zhao Yarou hugged Ye Lang's arm as if she was acting like a spoiled child.
"Hey, hey, don't be like this. I won't be used to it."
"It's fine. You'll be fine once you get used to it! Time isn't important. We have ten years anyway … "
"Occupy …"
Ye Lang was silent for a moment, then said very seriously, "No, I will definitely find a way out. I won't stay here for ten years. It's fine if I'm alone, but with you …"
"What's wrong with me? I'm not hindering you. I'm accompanying you with good intentions, but I didn't think that you would dislike me. "Zhao Yarou said unhappily.
"Isn't it the same whether you accompany me or not? I'm going to be here anyway. What's the difference?" Ye Lang said very directly. His words seemed to be very heartless.
However, this matter was also a fact. Whether Zhao Yarou came or not, to Ye Lang, it was the same. It was just that he had an additional companion, and Ye Lang didn't really like Zhao Yarou's companion.
Zhao Yarou also knew Ye Lang's personality. She knew what Ye Lang said. She knew that her presence here wouldn't benefit Ye Lang at all. If it was Zhen Xiaoyan or Hu Niu, Ye Lang would feel that there was a difference.
"I know that to you, I'm nothing. It's the same whether I'm here or not. However, I don't feel the same. I feel that the difference is very big, very big …" Zhao Yarou didn't get angry and only said indifferently.
"Is the difference very big? I don't care about you. I'll think of a way to get out. This place was built by people, so there must be a way to solve it. "Ye Lang said with a smile. He seemed to be very looking forward to this.
Perhaps, to Ye Lang, solving the Heavenly Works Yue Clan's prison was more interesting than anything else. He believed that the people imprisoned here must have solved it before. If even they couldn't succeed, didn't that mean that it was a very, very difficult problem?
And the so-called difficult problem was the best thing to do to pass time. Even if the problem was solved without much meaning, it was enough to kill time. The things used in the middle were also the greatest use.
Many times, the process was more important than the result!!!
Just like that, Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou began living here. It started with a very strange situation, and as the two of them spent more time together, the situation became more and more interesting.
Three years later …
"Brother-in-law, come and eat. Don't just stand there in a daze!!"
At this moment, Zhao Yarou was dressed in casual family clothes. To be precise, she was dressed like a housewife. However, even such clothes could not hide her beauty. At the same time, there was a different kind of charm to her.
At this moment, Ye Lang was sitting in the courtyard, staring at the fish in the water in a daze. Beside him, there was a pile of books scattered all over the place. It was clear that he was thinking about something and researching something.
Ye Lang did not answer, as if he did not hear Zhao Yarou's voice.
When Zhao Yarou saw this situation, she quietly approached Ye Lang with a mischievous expression on her face …
"Brother-in-law!!" Zhao Yarou shouted in Ye Lang's ear.
"Ah … Zhao Yarou, what are you doing?" Ye Lang was startled. He jumped up from his chair and made some defensive movements, as if he was facing an enemy.
"Ha …" Zhao Yarou laughed. She seemed to be very happy. She did not cover her mouth with her hand, and did not care about her image at all.
If this was seen by outsiders, their jaws would fall to the ground. How could they think that the once cold queen would have such a mischievous side?
At the same time, Zhao Yarou's dressing would also make people's eyes pop. And that table of dishes, could it be that she, the little queen, personally cooked? This seemed to be too hard to imagine.
And this was not a sudden change in Zhao Yarou. In these five years, Zhao Yarou and Ye Lang's relationship became more and more harmonious. This was also natural. After all, Zhao Yarou had always been very good to Ye Lang, and Ye Lang would not be angry with someone who was good to him.
