Beside Huang Yanchen, a 16 or 17-year-old maid was following, wearing goose yellow clothes and her small face looked particularly delicate.

She was looking at Zhang Ruochen up and down with a pair of curious eyes.

Zhang Ruochen also noticed the maid following Huang Yanchen.

She looks only 1.6 meters tall, with a pair of pointed ears, long silver, slender waist, smart eyes, and skin like holy jade, emitting crystal clear fluorescence.

She is completely different from other maids, with a special temperament, giving people an extremely extraordinary feeling.

"Your maid seems to have extremely high cultivation."

Zhang Ruochen showed a faint smile and looked at her carefully.

The maid wearing goose yellow clothes immediately showed her shy and timid appearance, and almost instinctively hid behind Huang Yanchen.

Huang Yanchen said: "She is a maid sent by the Chen family to me. She is named Qingmo. She has a very special physique and a very high qualification. She only has little contact with the outside world and lacks experience."

Huang Yanchen is now Jiezi and even more a disciple of the Queen. The Chen family in the East Region naturally has different attitudes towards her.

The maid sent to her was naturally not an ordinary monk.

"I have met Mr. Zhang."

The maid in goose yellow clothes walked out and saluted Zhang Ruochen.

Huang Yanchen and Zhang Ruochen walked side by side. The woman was beautiful and the man was handsome. They walked on the streets on the snow, attracting a series of stunning gazes.

After a while, Huang Yanchen spoke and said, "I heard a lot of news about you when I came to Shengming City. It is said that you killed the five commanders of the Canglong Army, and there are rumors that you were the Prince of Shengming eight hundred years ago."

"Do you want to hear an explanation?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Huang Yanchen's pair of dark blue eyes revealed a sincere emotion, saying, "I only care about your safety and don't want you to encounter an unexpected accident."

"I am indeed the Crown Prince of Shengming. Eight hundred years ago, the last crown prince of the Central Empire of Shengming." Zhang Ruochen said frankly.

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen not only have the status of being a husband and wife, but also have the reality of being a husband and wife. There are some things that he doesn't think he must continue to hide.

"You don't seem to be surprised?"

Zhang Ruochen stared at Huang Yanchen and saw that her expression seemed very calm without showing any trace of surprise.

Huang Yanchen said: "I have specifically checked some things about the Prince of Shengming, and I have long had some speculations. I didn't ask before, just because I knew that when the time came, you would definitely tell me."

"After practicing in the Tianlun Seal for fifteen years, her mood has obviously improved a lot." Zhang Ruochen could clearly feel this.

Zhang Ruochen asked with a smile on his face, "Since you already know my identity, then, are you going to stand on my side or on the side of Queen Chi Yao?"

When he said this, Zhang Ruochen had already clearly told Huang Yanchen that he and Empress Chi Yao were in a irreconcilable situation.

One was a serious offender of the court, the other was a disciple of the queen, but he was a couple. Even Zhang Ruochen didn’t know how their future path would continue?

Huang Yanchen stopped, stared at Zhang Ruochen, and said, "I will always stand on your side. No matter what happens, I will not change this."

Regarding Huang Yanchen, it is undoubtedly a great decision to make such a decision.

From now on, we will bear pressure from all sides with Zhang Ruochen, and even become enemies of the whole world.

A solemn expression appeared on Huang Yanchen's face, and he said, "There is another thing. Chi Wansui has returned to Shengming City. You must be extremely careful when dealing with Lingxiao Tianwang Mansion and Canglong Army."

"Tonight is New Year's Eve, so we won't talk about murder. We finally got together again, find a place and have a drink?" Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.

"OK!"

Huang Yanchen thought carefully and said, "It is said that outside Shengming City, there is a Kongle Mountain. There is an ancient tower on the top of the mountain, which is as high as 74 floors and has a history of tens of thousands of years. Tonight is New Year's Eve, Shengming City must be very lively. Standing on the top of the tower, you should be able to see the lights of the whole city."

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were a little confused, thinking of Chi Yao eight hundred years ago.

On New Year's Eve when he was sixteen, Chi Yao also said so, wanting to see the lights of Shengming City.

So, Zhang Ruochen took her to Kongle Mountain, climbed to the top of the Yuanji Ancient Tower, and watched it all night.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was a little lost, Huang Yanchen asked.

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of something I shouldn't have thought of. Let's go, let's go to Kongleshan now."

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen did not fly, but reached the top of Kongle Mountain by walking.

Then, Zhang Ruochen released the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit and the Demon Ape, and asked them to guard the tower, and did not allow other monks to climb the tower.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I must be responsible for patrolling the mountain and guarding the tower seriously and responsibly. No one can take a step." The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit said, patting her stomach.

When Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen climbed to the top of the tower, it was already dark.

Above the sky is a bright sea of ​​stars; on the ground are endless lights.

Huang Yanchen seemed to be dependent on others, leaning his crystal white face against Zhang Ruochen's chest, and said, "It's so quiet here, the scenery is so beautiful. How great would it be if it could remain the same?"

"I thought so eight hundred years ago."

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were very sharp and he said, "But the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop. How easy is it to find a tranquility?"

"yes!"

Huang Yanchen nodded, his crystal red lips moved slightly, and said, "The undead in the eastern region, the dead Zen sect in the southern region, the undead blood clan in the northern region, and the entire Kunlun world are signs of chaos coming soon, and no one can survive alone."

"Brother Chen, I think you can recruit old subordinates, first form a sect, and become the king of separatist areas. When the time is right, you can seize the empress's world and rebuild the central empire of the Holy Ming."

Zhang Ruochen gently stroked Huang Yanchen's pretty face, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Eight hundred years have passed. Even though there are old subordinates who are loyal to the Central Empire of Shengming, there are more people with ulterior motives."

"With my current cultivation level, I can't suppress them. Once I recall my old subordinates, I'm afraid they will be used by others to command the princes. Therefore, at this stage, what I need to do the most is to improve my cultivation level."

"As long as your own strength is strong enough, even if you don't have the identity of the Prince of Shengming, many people will come to surrender."

Zhang Ruochen has always believed that only when his own strength is strong can he be truly powerful.

With the help of external forces, there will be many hidden dangers.

Zhang Ruochen rarely expresses his feelings to others, but tonight is a special day, and there is also a very close woman around him. Some words hidden in his heart are not a big deal even if they say them.

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen no longer talk about major events in the world, but about their past times and mutual experiences.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also asked about her mother. When she learned that she was in good condition, she naturally felt much more relieved.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the snowflakes in the sky are getting bigger and bigger.

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen drank a pot of wine together and snuggled up to each other. Instead of feeling cold, they felt an indescribable warmth.

When he was half drunk and half awake, Kong Lanyou's figure appeared in Zhang Ruochen's mind.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, is she still in the royal tomb forest? Is she alone? Am she very lonely?

"Yanchen, I'll take you to a place."

Zhang Ruochen hugged Huang Yanchen, who was half asleep and half awake, stood up, but his eyes were looking at the direction of the royal tomb forest.

No matter how Kong Lanyou treats him, he is his cousin after all. As a cousin, shouldn’t he be more broad-minded?

Some things should be faced, but they still have to face them.

"Where do you go?" Huang Yanchen's sleepy eyes asked and answered.

At this moment, she was not cold at all, but instead she looked like a confused girl in her teens following behind Zhang Ruochen and heading down the tower.

"After you go with me, you will naturally understand." Zhang Ruochen said.

Arriving under the tower, Zhang Ruochen smelled a strange smell of meat. The fragrance had exceeded the limit of the food's fragrance.

"Crackling."

Not far away, there was a huge fire, a maid named Qingmo, who was baking a barbarian bird that was more than seven meters long.

The meat of the barbarian bird has been roasted to a golden and translucent golden aroma, covering the entire Kongleshan.

The Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit and the Demon Ape did not have the ferocious aura of a wild beast. It was like two greedy cats, lying behind Qing Mo, and drooling kept flowing out of his mouth.

"Sister Qingmo, how long will it take to cook?"

The Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit was almost madly waiting, her eyes were covered in blood, and her two claws threw two big holes on the ground.

The Demon Ape also stared at Qing Mo with a pair of begging eyes.

Qing Mo pouted his lips and said with some disgust: "Why are you so greedy? You have eaten four barbarian birds and are not full yet? Especially you, Guoguo, how old are you, how can you eat so much meat?"

The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit rubbed Qing Mo's body with a big chubby face and said, "Who said Sister Qing Mo's roasted meat is the best? The skills of Hei Ye and Chen Ye are thousands of miles away from you."

Qing Mo knocked on the head of the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit and said, "Okay! It's already cooked and ready to eat!"

Zhang Ruochen walked over and prepared to taste the meat roasted by Qingmo.

Because the meat fragrance is amazingly tempting, even though Zhang Ruochen had already reached fasting, he still couldn't help but want to eat a piece.

However, as soon as Qing Mo's voice fell, the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit and the Demon Ape pounced on it, overturning the fire.

They fought with each other and ate voraciously. In a moment, they ate all a seven-meter-long barbarian bird, even if it was a bone, no one left behind.

The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit burped, patted her round belly, and said, "Sister Qingmo has a pair of wonderful hands. The roasted meat is not only delicious, but the meat is also like a magic pill, which can improve your cultivation."

Qing Mo couldn't stand the funny look of swallowing elephant rabbit. He covered his mouth and smiled, but suddenly saw Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen under the tower. So he immediately bowed and bowed: "Greetings to the princess, and to Mr. Zhang."

The Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit and the Demon Ape were worried that Zhang Ruochen would blame him, pretending to be nothing, immediately straightened his back, stood up, showing a fierce and intimidating look, and began to patrol Kong Leshan.

"Mr. Chen asked me to patrol the mountains, patrol the east mountains, patrol the west mountains."

The Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit patrolled and shouted.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and sighed, always feeling that the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit and the Demon Ape were greatly affected by Xiao Hei and became increasingly unreliable.

In the end, Zhang Ruochen did not blame them, and left Kongle Mountain with Huang Yanchen, Qingmo, Elephant-swallowing Rabbit, and Demon Ape, and headed towards the royal tomb forest.
