Chapter 647 - Yuan Goudan

Edited by Molly and Ea

“They.... They can come back, is that what you mean?” Lian Hua could not stop shaking.

“I don’t know where Jianmu went. He was originally a sacred object and he can go wherever he wants.” Yan Tianhen raised his lips and smiled with tears and said, “But I have found Cang Rong and your reincarnation. The two of you are already together, and have a child, living very blissfully and happily.”

Lian Hua froze, this was something he didn’t dare to think about. “How do you know?”

“You used your blood to raise me for millions of years, so your soul will naturally look for my reincarnation.” Yan Tianhen withdrew his hand and said, “And Cang Rong, before he sent your soul into reincarnation, he already left his mark on it. As long as he is reincarnated, he will surely chase you anywhere. No matter where you are, no matter what miserable hardships you experienced, he will meet you again.”

Lian Hua sniffled, his soul was bright and clear.

“So.” Yan Tianhen looked at Lian Hua faintly and asked, “After saying this much, are you going to help me or not?”

Lian Hua, “.....”

“Shixiong, if my Dage knew that I was Youshan Lingyu, he would definitely not want me. When that time comes, I would only be able to go to your house every day to eat and drink, disturbing the intimate kissy moments between you and my brother-in-law.” Yan Tianhen’s face was full of pitifulness, just like a little pitiful child that no one wanted. “Please just help me? Pretty please?”

Lian Hua slowly calmed down, and looked with a complicated glaze at the spoiled poor little bunny rolling around before him. Although the appearance had changed, the person inside was no different from before. After a long time, Lian Hua hoarsely used his throat, “I believe your words.”

Yan Tianhen’s eyes lit up.

“But I can’t help you.”

“Why?”

“Because of your blessing.” Lian Hua grinded his teeth and said, “This honorable one still has at least ten years before the punishment ends. Don’t think that if you wear this pitiful image and stir up emotions, this honorable one can let you go. You are fucking ruthless, you appear innocent on the outside, but are rotten inside, you little bastard!”

Yan Tianhen, “.....” Fuck! I unexpectedly forgot about this.

Lian Hua patted the hardest stone in the world, sneered, and said, “What you want this honorable one to do, let’s talk about it in ten years. Now, get as far away as you can, and don’t let me see you.”

Yan Tianhen took a step back silently, revealing a grin at him. His eight white teeth were bright and reflective.

“Pardon me for bothering you today because of my thoughtlessness. Then, after ten years, I will wait until Shixiong’s punishment ends and come back to discuss things with you. I’ll excuse myself first.” Under Lian Hua’s glare, seemingly as if he was going to eat someone, Yan Tianhen started running away.

“Wait!” Lian Hua asked from behind, “Him and my child, what is their name?”

“Named Yuan Goudan!”

Lian Hua, .....What kind of hatred or grudge do you have?

*********

Youshan Capital’s days passed fleetingly.

Ten years later, Lian Hua ended his torture, finally leaving the Hall of Repentance and the world’s hardest stone, but his mind changed a lot.

“Where is Chang Shen?” Lian Hua relaxingly and alertly arrived at the inner section.

At this time, Yan Tianhen was the only one in the temple, he was thinking on his feet, leaning on the blood cypress in the temple, and eating a plate of spiritual water grapes.

Once Yan Tianhen saw Lian Hua, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile, “Hey, people who know they have children are different, and even this widow face has become much younger. My heart has been very comforted.”

Lian Hua rolled his eyes and raised his hand. “Be careful what you say to me. Don’t let Chang Shen hear any of these problems. Be careful of everything you speak of coming apart.”

Yan Tianhen stood up straight and looked at Lian Hua, saying, “My Dage is in secluded cultivation. During these years, while cultivating, he has thought of ways to forge magic weapons. After all, the Pillar of Heaven is an important matter. Whether the remaining one soul and one spirit of Jianmu and the Spirit Emperor can be preserved when the Pillar of Heaven breaks depends on my Dage. You shouldn’t dare to bother him.”

After Lian Hua left seclusion, the first thing he did was not to find Lin Xuanzhi or Yan Tianhen, but to visit Jade Ocean Jasper Heaven to see Xi He and Cang Rong.

For many years, he did not realise that the golden shield was the Pillar of Heaven. After having it pointed out by Yan Tianhen, when he went again this time, he had a different reaction. Lian Hua glanced around the hall and said, “Since Chang Shen is in seclusion, I will leave for the time being.”

“Where do you want to go?” Yan Tianhen followed, and a rabbit with long ears jumped out next to him, following Yan Tianhen’s pace.

Lian Hua glanced at that rabbit, and his expression changed slightly. He said, “Yan Tianhen, aren’t you too daring? This is Hidden Spirit Sect’s ancestral grounds; how dare you take Fu Zhu around with you so blatantly?”

Yan Tianhen touched his nose and said, “The most dangerous places turn out to be the safest ones. Besides, Rongrong is not a bad child. Now he gets along very well with Ah Bai and Ho Po.”

Lian Hua pulled the corners of his mouth and with a toss of his sleeve said, “I’m too lazy to care about you. Play by yourself. Don’t expect me to help you say good things when you’re found out.”

Yan Tianhen laughed, then grabbed Lian Hua’s sleeve and followed him as he headed outside. “You have ended your ten years of torture, shouldn’t you do the things you promised me you would do?”

Lian Hua glanced at him. “What did this Venerable promise you?”

Yan Tianhen said, “Didn’t you agree to help me keep Dage from doubting me?”

Lian Hua said, “This Venerable doesn’t remember.”

Yan Tianhen rolled his eyes and said, “I’ll trade you. I’ll secretly tell you, how Dage knew that you lied to trick him back then, is that good?”

Speaking of this matter, Lian Hua was also very puzzled.

According to principles, the lies he fabricated wouldn’t be so easily unraveled, but even if Lin Xuanzhi loved Yan Tianhen, he still wouldn’t accuse Lian Hua of three crimes without even listening to his explanation. Moreover, not only this time, but even before in the Hidden Spirit Holy Sect, Chang Shen would easily see through him whenever he told lies. What was the reasoning?

Lian Hua thought about it, and felt that if he didn’t help Yan Tianhen this time, he was scared Yan Tianhen might pester him for who knows how long. Just thinking about it made him feel annoyed, and finally he agreed.

Yan Tianhen smiled proudly, leaning into Lian Hua’s ear and said, “Because when you tell a lie, you would call my elder brother ‘Shixiong’. Otherwise, you would never call him like this.”

Lian Hua immediately froze.

He paused for a moment, stared at Yan Tianhen and slapped him on the forehead. “Fucker, you have known this quirk of mine for many years, but you didn’t tell me until today!”

“You’re the one with a guilty conscience where you can’t even tell a lie, yet you still blame me?”

“Get away from me, looking at you makes me upset!”

“Little Huahua, I am currently your sister-in-law. You can’t be so rude to me–ow, don’t hit my head anymore. What if you make me stupid? You’re still hitting me!”

Lin Xuanzhi was in secluded cultivation when he suddenly sensed that there was an evil spirit flying to the southeast, he immediately burst out and flew towards the southeast. After reaching that place, He saw Fu Zhu and a purple figure flash past. When he chased it again, he couldn’t find any trace.

Yan Tianhen and Lian Hua came in a hurry, following closely after, only to find that all the flowers everywhere had withered and languished, hanging down into the blackened soil, and the surrounding rocks, cliffs, dead branches, and leaves were covered with a layer of frost.

“It was indeed Fu Zhu that passed through.” Lin Xuanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and picked up a piece of a dead leaf. “It’s just — who is Fu Zhu’s current owner?”

Lian Hua sighed and said, “When there is a wave of unrest, one wave follows another. Youshan Capital’s predicament has not yet been fixed, but another evil spirit appeared. Fortunately, for more than ten years this evil spirit has never made waves, and hasn’t come out to harm people.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “As soon as he was born, he killed a young master in the city. Is that not considered harm?”

Yan Tianhen remembered that Lianying Qi, who flew into a rage when he couldn’t take advantage of Yan Tianhen and wanted to torture him to death. He immediately rolled his eyes and said, “But I heard that Lianying Qi, who was killed, took advantage of men and bullied women and did all kinds of evil. Anyone who caught his eye in the celestial prison would have to warm his bed. If the person didn’t want to serve him or didn’t serve properly, they would die. I also heard that when people in the city learned that Lianying Qi was dead, they applauded one by one, wanting to set off firecrackers to celebrate. In view of this, the evil spirit might still be a good evil spirit for helping people.”

Yan Tianhen’s attitude was so bright that Lin Xuanzhi felt it was an unusual thing.

Lin Xuanzhi asked, “Don’t you normally hate evil spirits the most, how can you speak on the side of evil spirits?”

Yan Tianhen accepted good advice easily, “Dage taught me before to concern myself with facts, not the person, and be fair. Although evil spirits are born in opposition to us, they aren’t necessarily bad. At the very least, Lianying Qi deserved to die.”

After Lian Hua listened to him talk dead seriously about nonsense in broad daylight, he thought, This brat is not afraid of being struck by lightning. Lian Hua rolled his eyes in his heart and also said, “Lianying Qi indeed did things unreasonably, using the virtue of his noble status to act tyrannically and kill many innocent people. If he dies, just let him die.”

Lin Xuanzhi naturally didn’t even care about Lianying Qi, but he cared about whether or not this evil spirit had come out in the end to commit evil.

The answer was naturally no. During these years, Yan Tianhen was afraid that Lin Xuanzhi would find clues. Every day, he diligently cultivated his spiritual Qi and was extremely obedient. Fu Zhu also became addicted to being a rabbit and became a group with Ah Bai and Hu Po; every day, he pretended to disguise himself as a pig in order to eat tigers. When hunting, Fu Zhu often hid behind the two spiritual tigers who were far inferior to him and shivered, waiting for the spiritual tigers to capture the wild game for him.

After careful consideration, Lin Xuanzhi wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to the evil spirit that came out but did nothing. He said, “If he doesn’t do evil things, I don’t necessarily have to attack him.“

Yan Tianhen and Lian Hua looked at each other at the same time, secretly letting out a breath of relief.

After returning, Lin Xuanzhi first arranged manpower to patrol the city to prevent the evil spirit and Fu Zhu from doing anything harmful to the common people, then left only Lian Hua behind. Lin Xuanzhi asked, “After ten years of punishment, do you harbor resentment in your heart?”

Lian Hua cupped his hands and bowed to Lin Xuanzhi. “It’s my fault. Ah Hen is truly an innocent person. I really shouldn’t have left him to die in the Tomb of Youshan back then for selfish reasons.”

Lin Xuanzhi faintly said, “When you did things, you always had principles and knew the bottom line. How can you treat an innocent person in this way? Unless some conflict happened between him and you?”

Lian Hua’s heart skipped a beat and suddenly sank. Don’t tell me that Lin Xuanzhi sensed something wrong with this?

After thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible. It was probably a casual question. Lian Hua set his mind and said, “The biggest conflict that happened between us would be him tricking you into becoming his Dao companion?”
