Splendid Flower City was located between the Third and Fourth Ring Road. It was not the most upscale residential district in Yan Jing, but it was famous for its classical and elegant architectural style and flourishing flowers.
Entering the district was like entering a sea of flowers. Even though it was late November, some plants that bloomed all year round still decorated the bleak autumn scenery with beautiful purple and red, adding a sense of exuberance to it.
The potted plants planted in the courtyard of villa No. 12 seemed to be more luxuriant than the flowers outside the courtyard. An old woman with a head full of white hair was sitting on an old-fashioned wooden armchair, lazily basking in the sun. Her old face, which was like an orange peel, showed a touch of contentment.
Once in a while, a male horny passerby would intentionally slow down his footsteps and look through the gaps between the walls of the courtyard with an admiring expression, hoping that he would be lucky enough to see the beautiful mistress who lived here.
The sunlight shone through the dancing flower shadows and scattered mottled silhouettes in the courtyard. The ears of the old woman, who was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, suddenly moved. She suddenly opened her eyes, and a bright light that did not match her appearance burst out of her turbid eyes.
A cool breeze blew, and the plants in the entire courtyard moved as if they were alive. The soft branches and beautiful petals turned into a sky full of murderous intent that enveloped the uninvited guest.
"Granny Hua's Panicked Plants are still so sharp!"
A clear and melodious voice filled with emotion rang out. The sky full of murderous intent suddenly condensed around the newcomer, and danced around her as if she was worshipping, cheering and jumping for joy.
However, Granny Hua's whole body trembled, and her voice was choked with sobs as she bowed down, "Your Highness, you, you've finally returned."
"Yes, I've returned!"
The mist surrounding the newcomer dispersed, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty. She took a step forward and arrived in front of Granny Hua. She helped her up and looked at Granny Hua's white hair and aged face as she sighed emotionally, "It's been hard on you all these years!"
"What's there to be afraid of, old woman? It's the princess who has worked hard the most. For the great cause of our tribe, you didn't hesitate … Now that you've returned, it seems that you've finally broken through the Celestial Barrier."
Granny Hua's voice was filled with unconcealable excitement and her eyes were a little moist.
"Yes, I've finally broken through the Celestial Barrier!"
The woman who should be called Meditation Nun or Aruna stared at the sea of flowers in a daze. "For the fate of our clan, these sacrifices are nothing."
"Princess … you … you've worked hard!"
Granny Hua wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she spat out a sentence without substance.
"Is … is he okay?"
Aruna asked softly with a slightly trembling voice.
"Son-in-law, he … has been cooped up at home all these years. Unless it's necessary, he rarely goes out. He has lost a lot of weight, and he hasn't remarried."
Granny Hua had mixed feelings as she sighed faintly.
Although she knew that the princess married Su Zhengnan just to make use of him in order to complete the mission of changing the fate of the tribe, she was not an emotionless person. She had watched the princess grow up, so how could she not see her mind? She really fell in love with him, but for the mission, she even had to plot him to have an affair after drinking, so that she could lose her temper and leave him. Otherwise, she might not be able to break through the first barrier in a hundred years.
"How are my brothers?"
Aruna was very sad. She knew that Su Zhengnan lived in seclusion not because he was a homebody, but because of their love and the past at home. He was recalling the past and the past.
"I'm sorry, Brother Nan. If there is a next life, I will be with you through life and death and never leave you!" Aruna quickly calmed down and asked calmly.
"Bah! What brothers? They are just the adopted sons adopted by His Majesty. Princess is the only royal bloodline of our clan. How can they deserve it? "
A touch of disdain flashed across Granny Hua's face!
Aruna frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Anyway, they are my father's adopted sons. After my father fell into a deep sleep, they have been maintaining the safety of the tribe, and they deserve to be called brothers by me."
"The Princess treats them as her own people, but they may not necessarily treat the Princess as one of their own. Now that they have made a name for themselves outside and have their own territory and influence, they haven't returned to the clan for many years. It seems like they want to separate themselves and become kings."
Granny Hua curled her lips, and it seemed that she had a lot of resentment for the brothers mentioned by Aruna.
"Well, I know that you can't tolerate any mistakes, but before they openly betray us, you'd better not say such words. After all, they are our clansmen. Now only if we unite as one can we accomplish the mission entrusted to us by my father, wake him up from his deep sleep, and take us back to the ancestral land."
Aruna glanced at Granny Hua discontentedly and said sternly.
"Yes, I know, Your Highness!"
Granny Hua lowered her head, but a touch of disapproval flashed across her eyes.
With the gradual death of His Majesty's old ministers, the current tribe was no longer united and took His Majesty's orders as their own responsibility.
The new generation of clansmen could adapt to the current life better than the old generation. Who would be willing to wander around when they could live a comfortable life? Now, perhaps only the princess still took His Majesty's illusory mission seriously.
"Who is in charge of the affairs of the tribe on the Great Snow Mountain now?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little silent, Aruna couldn't bear to criticize more, so she changed the topic and asked.
"The old chief has passed away, and now Hu Wutian is in charge!"
Speaking of Hu Wutian, Granny Hua's face softened a little. He was the son of the Great Shaman of the Fox Tribe, the most loyal subordinate of His Majesty, the smartest and wisest person in the younger generation of the tribe, and the princess's childhood playmate.
If it were not for the fact that the princess had to leave the Big Snow Mountain to marry Su Zhengnan to complete the mission of saving the tribe, perhaps they would have become a pair of immortal lovers.
"Brother Wutian?"
Hearing this name, Aruna was in a trance for a moment, and it seemed that the boy who accompanied her when she was a child, always spoiled her, and had an extremely bright smile appeared in front of her.
However, she, who had always been ignorant about love, always regarded him as her brother, until she resolutely went down the Big Snow Mountain to complete the mission she should shoulder as the princess of the Demon Tribe.
Hu Wutian stood at the top of the Big Snow Mountain and saw her off from a distance. His cheeks, which always had a warm smile, were full of tears, and he said nothing from beginning to end. Only when the sadness and despair in his eyes revealed his true feelings made her realize that he had always loved her deeply.
Taking a deep breath and shaking her head, Aruna tried to get the image of Hu Wutian out of her mind. If she had not gone down the mountain that year, perhaps she would have been with Brother Wutian in this life. He was really a very excellent man.
However, fate made fools of people. After more than 40 years, things remained the same, but people had changed. She was no longer the carefree and innocent girl on the Big Snow Mountain, but a woman who had a husband, a daughter, and even a grandson.
Even though everything was a shocking plan for the fate of the tribe, it was undeniable that in addition to the mission, she really fell in love with Su Zhengnan.
Others might not be able to see through the unsubtle plan at that time, but with her understanding of Su Zhengnan, it was absolutely impossible for him not to have doubts. For so many years, he had known that she was in Ninghai, but he had never gone to find her, tried to save her, or tried to explain. Even Granny Hua and the Four Demons of the Flower Room were acquiesced by him to stay in the Su Family. For so many years, he had not remarried, but silently waited for her return at home in Yan Jing. This was the best proof.
She owed him an explanation, but now she could not give him any explanation!
"I'm sorry, Brother Nan! One day, I will give you a reasonable explanation. Whether you are willing to accept it or not, I will give you an explanation. "
Aruna lowered her head and murmured softly. Her voice was so low that even Granny Hua, who was close to her, could not hear it clearly.
"Ningxiang, is she all right?"
Aruna restrained her emotions and asked softly. If there was anyone in the world who could easily touch the softness in her heart, perhaps it was only her daughter.
"The fate of the young master is unknown. The four idiots of the Four Demons of the Flower Room actually lost him and foolishly chased him to Australia. Only then did they know that they were fooled. It would be strange if Miss is in a good mood."
Granny Hua said with disappointment. If she had known that the Four Demons of the Flower Room were so useless, she would have chased them in person. If something happened to the young master, Miss would go crazy.
"Don't worry. Ning 'er does not have the sign of longevity. He should come back safely in a few days."
Speaking of her grandson, Aruna's gentle expression became softer. If the little guy hadn't given her a big gift, she wouldn't have been able to break through the first heavenly barrier and enter the realm of the great demon so quickly.
However, this was in the plan of the Great Shaman. The meridians of the Demon Clan were different from those of human beings. In order to deceive everyone, she did not hesitate to destroy her Monster Core to help Ding Ning unblock the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and reconstruct her body according to the meridians of the Human Clan. Thus, Ding Ning mistakenly thought that she had been seriously injured. He helped her reconnect her meridians and gave her the top-grade Spiritual Crystal of Water, which made her reborn and break through the first Heavenly Pass of the Mighty Demon Realm in a short period of time.
"As long as the young master is all right, Miss can rest assured!"
Granny Hua respected Aruna like a goddess. Since she promised that Ding Ning would be fine, he must be fine. Hearing that, she said happily and unconsciously breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although she was Aruna's old personal servant, she loved Su Ningxiang as much as she loved Aruna. After more than 20 years of companionship, her affection for Su Ningxiang was no less than that for Aruna.
Aruna felt it, but she was not dissatisfied at all. This was the result she wanted to see. Although Su Ningxiang was only a medium in the plan of the Great Shaman to establish a relationship with the owner of the Nine-orifice Stone Man and seemed insignificant, she was a piece of flesh that fell from her body after all. How could she not care about it?
In fact, the plan had deviated more than 20 years ago. Unexpectedly, the descendant of that person whom the Great Shaman had deduced did not activate the Nine-orifice Stone Man. Instead, he gave the stone man to his son.
Although the time was delayed for 22 years, there was not much error in the final result. The plan was still on the original track. The only difference was that the opportunity to change the fate of the Demon Clan fell on her grandson instead of her son-in-law.
But now it seemed that it was God's will. Ding Ning became the owner of the Nine-orifice Stone Man, which made the plan more perfect. The opening of the Heaven-accessing Place was the strongest proof.
"I'm leaving!"
Aruna's ears moved. Hearing the roar of the car in the distance, she knew that Su Ningxiang was back. She said lightly and gradually faded away.
"Princess, won't you see Miss?"
Granny Hua asked anxiously. In fact, what she wanted to ask was: Won't the princess see the son-in-law?
"It's better not to see each other. The day of seeing each other is not far away. Wait patiently!"
