Prince Yue looked at the sleeping environment and felt a little guilty. "I didn't have a better place for you to sleep."
/p
I was very calm. "Compared to the deserted cave on the first night, this place isn't bad. At least there's a Buddha statue here, and there's a bit of human life."
/p
Prince Yue clasped his hands together and sincerely bowed twice to the Buddha statue. His actions made me feel like I was back in the capital of Da Qi. Whenever people saw a Buddha statue, they would stop and pay their respects. But now, other than Prince Yue, no one at the Inhuman stage was looking at the Buddha statue.
/p
The Buddha statue didn't care about these things. Even though he was living in a dilapidated temple, the corners of his eyes were half-closed as he bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind.
/p
After the quarrel with Bao Xiu and Zhu Qi, Lan Shan felt like he was on the same side as us. Whenever he had something to do, he would come to Prince Yue's side. When he saw Prince Yue pay his respects to the Buddha statue, he also did the same. I looked at him and asked curiously, "Don't you believe in the Great God Pangu? Why did you come here to pay your respects to the Buddha?"
/p
Lan Shan raised his eyebrows and asked the two of us, "Shouldn't you two also believe in the God Pangu?"
/p
My expression didn't change as I said to him, "We coincidentally entered the path of immortality. However, we don't dare to forget our previous beliefs. Otherwise, wouldn't we become children who forget their ancestors?"
/p
Lan Shan said, "It really depends on how you interpret it. For example, if you're with me, I can praise you and your wife for being affectionate and righteous. If you're with Bao Xiu and Zhu Qi, I can't help but feel that your actions are an eyesore and scold you for being a slave with a second surname!"
/p
I said, "In my opinion, it's just a question of how far we should go. If Prince Yue were to kneel before the Buddha statue this time, even I would feel a burst of grief and indignation: Animals have treated us husband and wife so well, why should they bow and scrape to their former beliefs, and be miserable for themselves and others? "
/p
Lan Shan said, "Immortal friend's wife is right." He paused and looked at me, indicating for me to continue.
/p
I had no choice but to continue, "Currently, in front of the Buddha statue, I only pay my respects and do not kneel according to etiquette. In the end, it is nothing more than a nodding acquaintance. One more friend is one more layer of protection. A nodding acquaintance is a great benefit. Why should we stick to trifles and stiffen our necks to go on a rampage? "
/p
Lan Shan applauded loudly, "That's right, that's right. I like talking to Immortal Friend's wife like this. She's flexible and smart, much better than those one-track minded people."
/p
Bao Xiu kept looking at me, and I felt like I was being stared at from behind, as if I was being pricked by needles.
/p
I don't know if Prince Yue intended to kneel or not, but he silently listened to my words in front of the Buddha statue, and gave me face by not kneeling. When Lan Shan and I finished talking, he turned around and said to us, "We have to hurry on the road tomorrow morning, so we should rest early."
/p
Outside, there was another roar of thunder, and large drops of rain fiercely smashed into the ground. It was bustling with noise and excitement.
/p
Lan Shan said doubtfully, "This rain won't stop for a while. Can we leave tomorrow morning? “/p
/p
Prince Yue said, "We can."
/p
Lan Shan let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had eaten a pill of reassurance, "With Brother Qi's words, my heart is at ease." He pointed at a pile of clean wool mats in the corner and said, "I've already had my brothers tidy up the place for you to stay. Tonight, we'll just barely manage."
/p
Prince Yue said, "It's already good enough to have a place to shelter us from the wind and rain."
/p
When Lan Shan heard this, he couldn't bear it and casually said a few words before walking away. Prince Yue pulled me to his seat. I was a bit worried about the injury on his back, but Prince Yue purposely hid it. There weren't any people around who were watching us covetously, so I didn't dare to casually pull open his clothes to take a look.
/p
Prince Yue hugged me and laid me down. He said softly, "Let's sleep."
/p
I was still a bit worried. "Your back …"
/p
Prince Yue said, "Wait until we're far away from this group of people, then I'll do as you say and find a doctor to take a look."
/p
When he said that, he was actually giving in. It was clear that the injury on his back wasn't as serious as he had said. I was a little worried. I pulled on his clothes and moved closer to him. "When can we leave?" I asked.
/p
Prince Yue said, "No matter what, we have to pass the Zun Pan Gu Classic."
/p
"That's going to take a while. Can the injury on your back take it?"
/p
Prince Yue held my hand that was holding his collar and muttered, "Why is it so cold?" Then, he used his internal energy to warm my hand. He replied, "Don't worry. It's not the first time I've been struck by lightning."
/p
I rolled my eyes at him. "You're taking this as your capital."
/p
Prince Yue chuckled and suddenly turned his face toward me. I was already very close to him, so the tip of my nose was pressed against the mask and my lips brushed against his. Shocked, I frowned and scolded, "Shameless!" I twisted my body and tried to move away from him. I didn't want to face him in such an awkward situation.
/p
Unexpectedly, there was a force on my waist that stopped me from moving. Prince Yue's steel-like arm started to block me again. I was a little embarrassed and angry, and my face began to burn. "There are so many people here, don't make a fuss."
/p
Prince Yue didn't care. He was like a shameless snake. Once he set his sights on something, he wouldn't let go no matter what.
/p
I didn't dare to let anyone see me, so I could only struggle. "If you don't let go, I'm going to get angry! When the time comes, let your group of Immortal friends see that Brother Qi, who is a valiant and skilled strategist in front of others, is actually a henpecked rascal in private! "
/p
"Let them say what they want." Prince Yue didn't care. "A bunch of single people dare to talk about a married man. They can only be jealous."
/p
I blushed and reprimanded him. "Nonsense!"
/p
Prince Yue suddenly became serious. "Do I owe you a sentence?"
/p
I was stunned. "What sentence?"
/p
Prince Yue leaned closer to me. Like a human pyramid, he pressed his face against mine and whispered four words into my ear. Now, not only my face, even the cold soles of my feet that had been soaked in water were on fire. I pushed him off me, turned around, and clutched my thumping heart, desperately trying to fall asleep.
/p
The abominable culprit couldn't suppress the laughter in her throat. She chuckled softly and covered me with her own cloak.?? Then, he found a good spot and prepared to sleep.
/p
My mind was in a mess and I couldn't think straight. I might as well ignore it. My mind was empty. Coupled with the dripping water under the eaves, it was a good night to sleep.
/p
I was in a daze when I felt Yue Wangye pull up the cloak covering my body a little, covering my neck tightly. After sleeping like this for a while, I felt suffocated and uncomfortable. Raising my hand, I pulled down half of the cloak, but this time, no one covered me with the cloak.
/p
Suddenly, I heard the sound of iron chains. It was very crisp. I picked my ears and ignored it. Other people's ears were ringing, but mine was different. The sound of iron chains clanging back and forth in my ears. This time, there was an exasperated conversation. The two voices were exactly the same. I was a little confused.
/p
One voice was calm and calm. "Today's thunder was only a warning. But just a warning caused you to be in this state. You almost lost half your life."
/p
The other voice was cold and stern. "I don't care. I must use this technique. Otherwise, they will be in front of you tonight. Time is short. How can I find you and set up this trap? "
/p
The voice was gentle and calm. "Do you think this thunder is because you misused your technique?"
/p
The cold and stern voice said, "Isn't it?"
/p
The gentle voice replied, "Heaven is merciful, but it gave you a thunder tribulation. It's not because you misused your calligraphy. It's because you want to kill!"
/p
Want to kill!
/p
I suddenly woke up. Outside the window, it was still not bright. There was no familiar figure next to me. However, I was too sleepy, so I opened my eyes. Before my brain could recover, I fell into a deep sleep again. This time, there was no trouble in my dream. I slept peacefully.
/p
I have always liked to laze in bed. In the past, when I was in the Prince's Mansion, one of the major responsibilities was to wake me up. This time, this responsibility was placed on Prince Yue's shoulders. No matter what he said, I couldn't get up. Prince Yue was very helpless. He said to me, "Everyone has to get up and hurry on their journey. Not everyone will be delayed because of you. There is no other way. I will simply carry you on my back."
/p
As soon as I heard this, I was unhappy. Although I was lazy, I still wanted my face. I yawned and got up. Most of the people around me had already packed up. Actually, I was still a little confused. I squinted and looked at Prince Yue, who was standing straight. Suddenly, I asked, "Did you go out last night?"
/p
When Prince Yue heard this, he was stunned. Crouching down, he touched my forehead and asked, "Do you have a fever? How could you speak such nonsense?"
/p
I was puzzled. "You didn't go out?"
/p
"It was raining heavily last night. Why would I go out if nothing happened?" Prince Yue raised his hand. "Besides, my clothes were dry. Why would I go out?"
/p
His clothes were dry. It was raining heavily last night. There was no need for him to go out if nothing happened. I started to doubt myself, muttering to myself, "Or did I dream too much last night?"
/p
Prince Yue laughed. "Dream? Tell me. What kind of dream did you have last night? "
/p
I thought about it for a while. I didn't have a clue about the cause and effect. I had already forgotten most of the conversation, so I said honestly, "I forgot."
/p
Prince Yue said, "It's normal that you forgot. Most of the things in your dreams are just imagination. It has nothing to do with real life. It's good that you forgot. My wife, you can get up now. "
/p
I sat on the ground. The straw mat was warm from my body heat. I really didn't want to get up. My butt seemed to be glued to the ground, unwilling to let me get up. I had no choice but to reach out to Prince Yue for help. "Hurry up. Give me a hand."
/p
Everyone gathered under the dripping rain. The murlocs were overjoyed when they saw the water. They danced and opened their chests as they ran out. They faced the sky and felt the raindrops. Then, they turned around and shouted to us, "Soon, soon. The rain will end soon. We can set off soon. "
/p
Perhaps the Murloc Tribe had a good understanding of water, because after a short while, the heavy rain that had been pouring down that night had stopped. Not only had the rain stopped, but the sun had also shone out from behind the heavy clouds, shining its warm light onto the ground. Lan Shan was the most excited. He ran out and shouted, "Let's go!"
/p
Everyone was in high spirits and replied, "Let's go!"
/p
We walked for half a day. The path was wet and slippery. It was very difficult to walk through the mud. We walked through two mountains and went up and down the mountain twice. Lan Shan was at the front. When he saw a pool of dirty water, he excitedly raised his hands. "We're here. We're here."
/p
The people around us cheered. "We're here. We're here."
/p
I looked at the merry atmosphere of the mermaids. It was as if they were celebrating the New Year. I pulled the almighty Prince Yue and asked, "What are they doing? Is there a need to be so excited? "
/p
Prince Yue said, "It wasn't easy to find a scapegoat. How can they not be excited?"
/p
"A scapegoat?"
/p
Prince Yue said, "For thousands of years, non-humans have been killed by the animals they despise. Why do you think that's the reason?"
/p
I thought about it for a moment before replying neutrally, "Then it must be because of various reasons. Being unable to defeat the humans is one reason, but the fact that the humans have a capable and brave commander like you is another reason." I even tried to flatter him a little.
/p
Prince Yue didn't seem to notice my little trick. He snorted and said disdainfully, "They're good. They put all the blame on one person."
/p
I blurted out, "Who?"
/p
Prince Yue paused for a moment. "A God that appeared in the Desolate Age myths."
/p
I asked curiously, "What kind of story is it? Do you know? I wonder if you would be so kind as to tell me about it. "
/p
I don't know why, but Prince Yue didn't want to talk to me. He just changed the topic with a guilty conscience and asked me, "I heard that this body of yours once jumped into a lake, I wonder how well you can swim?"
/p
I was amused by his words. "I jumped into a lake and you're asking me how I'm doing? Master, is it me who didn't wake up this morning, or are you the one who didn't wake up? "
/p
Lan Shan heard the commotion and asked with a gossipy expression, "What do you mean by jumping into a lake? Who's going to jump into a lake?"
/p
I pointed at Prince Yue and said, "He, he's going to jump into a lake."
/p
Lan Shan looked at his brother Qi in confusion. Prince Yue didn't refute or provoke me. He just smiled awkwardly.
/p
Lan Shan suddenly understood. "Oh, so it's a couple arguing. Sigh! Actually, I don't want to get involved in your family matters. However, Immortal friend's wife mentioned jumping into a lake. In the past, we had to jump into a lake during the Condemnation Ceremony. However, since we're traveling with the merfolk tribe, we don't have to do that. "
/p
Elder Yu squeezed to our side and said, "Guests, please."
/p
Prince Yue placed his hand in front of me and said carefully, "Madam, let's go." “/p
/p
I was still angry, but Lan Shan understood immediately. He shouted, "Elder Yu, you don't have good eyesight. Can't you see that the couple is still angry? I'll give you a suggestion. How about this, Immortal friend's wife and I will jump into a water bag. Brother Qi will jump into a water bag. This way, we won't have to worry about Immortal friend's wife's safety and we won't have to put the couple together like a barrel of explosives. What do you think, Elder Yu? "
/p
Elder Yu stroked his beard and agreed. "It's a good idea."
/p
Prince Yue and I said at the same time, "No!" I had subconsciously called out with a sharp voice, but Prince Yue was calm and stern, with a hint of anger that he had deliberately hidden. I didn't know why, but his voice overlapped with the two voices in my dream. I looked at him in surprise. He held my waist with a cold face and nodded to Elder Yu. "Please lead the way."
/p
Elder Yu smiled lovingly. "No problem." Then, he sneezed in midair, spraying out a huge transparent water ball. That water ball steadily floated towards the two of us. When it landed, it just happened to encircle me and Prince Yue.
/p
Elder Yu shouted loudly, "Let's go!" Then, he pushed the water ball into the water. The water ball didn't float on the surface. I wasn't sure if it was because of our weight.
/p
When we entered the water, there was a roar in my ears. The sound of metal chains colliding rang clearly in my head. It made my organs tremble, and I felt an unbearable pain. Prince Yue thought that I was choking and quickly hugged me. "It's okay. The water bags of the Fishmen Tribe can't get in. We won't choke."
/p
I couldn't stand up straight from the shock. I could only reply weakly, "There's something."
/p
Prince Yue was puzzled. "What is it?"
/p
I raised my pale face and gritted my teeth. "Chains."
/p
"The sound of chains." I raised my hand and pointed at my skull. "The sound of chains rubbing against each other in my head. It's very loud and very sad."
/p
The bottom of the lake was dark, and the surrounding fishes had encountered something new. They shook their heads and wagged their tails as they went forward to investigate. In contrast to this joyous and lively scene, Prince Yue's face was filled with extreme fear. His eyes revealed a lifeless grey color, like that of a dead person. His originally slightly red lips turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye. He did not take pity on my current body, which could not be straightened, and forced me to face him face to face. Eye to eye, he was like an enraged leopard, his right hand acting as a flail. Holding my chin, he interrogated me, "When did you hear it? When did you hear it?"
/p
The anger in his eyes was like fire. It was as if he could burn me to ashes if I said another word.
/p
My chin hurt. My organs hurt. Every part of my body hurt. I wanted to punch and kick this prince to show my anger. But when the words reached my mouth, I could only groan, "I'm in pain."
/p
Prince Yue's anger dissipated by half. He loosened his grip on my chin.
/p
I continued, "I'm in pain."
/p
Prince Yue didn't care about his anger anymore. He hugged me and said, "Let's go up! Let's go up! "
/p
The chains collided in my head again. I gritted my teeth but couldn't stand it. My whole body went limp. When I raised my head, I saw that the water bag had stopped descending. In front of me was a dark tunnel. It looked like a beast waiting for its prey to enter its mouth.
