C72 To hell (1/2)

When Shangguan Wan returned to the Phoenixcloud Hall, she went up to him and reported in a low voice, ”Empress, His Majesty will be sleeping at the Huiqin Hall tonight, so he won't be coming over.”

”Mm, you can leave.” Shangguan Wan was not too disappointed. When men and women were together, it was never appropriate to stick together every day, and sometimes they still had to give each other some space.

”Rao Xiu?”

”Luoluo, long time no see.” The man turned and smiled at her.

Shangguan Wan nodded, ”Yes, long time no see.”

She remembered the last time they had met, she had let Nangong Yu misunderstand. But now that she thought about it, she knew that he had been jealous at that time.

Men are truly petty.

”By the way, how's the search for the Salty Spring Wood going? Do you have any leads? ” As far as he was concerned, as long as she found the Aral Dawn Wood, she would be able to return to Qing Qiu. She would no longer have to stay in the Xuan Chu Palace.

He had been waiting for this day to come, but he didn't know that she had already changed her mind.

Shangguan Wan's eyes glinted. ”Um, we still don't have any leads for now.”

After entering the palace for so long, she had been so busy becoming husband and wife with the Emperor that she kept delaying official matters time and time again.

A look of disappointment passed over Rong Xiu's face. ”I heard that you're on good terms with him. What, are you reluctant to leave?”

The two knew exactly who this ”he” was referring to.

”I …”

”You're hesitating.” ”What I was worried about the most happened. You fell in love with him.”

He was a little regretful that he had told her about the incident with the Salt Spring Wood. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here, and she wouldn't have used Shangguan Wan's identity to become husband and wife with that man called Nangong Yu.

The matters of this world were truly unfathomable. Why would a fox who had lived for nearly three hundred years fall in love with a mortal? Aren't they the most compatible?

”Yes, I love him. I can't leave him.” She spoke firmly, without the slightest ambiguity.

When Rong Xiu heard this, he was short of breath, the veins on his forehead bulging. Hearing the word ”love” coming out of her mouth made him dizzy.

”No, no!” He took a step forward and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. The room was brightly lit.

”You can't love him, he's a mortal, you won't have any results. If the elders knew, you will be tormented by the inferno of hell!” The Inferno Inferno Hell, as its name implied, was filled with flames. Life could not be lived, death could not be died, and only when one was completely filled with regret could they cut off all emotional ties with the mortals in order to free themselves.

”I know.” How could she not know? She had always avoided this topic.

She had heard of the Inferno Hell that when some little fox Si Fan fell in love with a mortal man, the fox clan elder would send his subordinates to capture her and throw her there. When she came out, she was already riddled with scars, had forgotten all her emotional entanglements, and was' reborn '.

This was the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao did not allow humans and monsters to be together. Originally, not being able to have descendants was already pitiful enough.

”You know you still love him!” Rong Xiu's expression became ferocious. ”Promise me you'll stay away from him, okay?” ”He's just a mortal, and isn't worth your love. Think about it, he won't live for long before he dies. As for you, you can live for a thousand years, for ten thousand years …”
