Chapter 1436: Chapter 1440: Realm of the Valley of Ten Thousand Dragons

He found the small courtyard with purple bamboo and autumn oak. He didn’t need to ask to know who lived there.

Zhu Minglang pushed the door open and entered. Fallen leaves were scattered over the cobblestone path in the courtyard. In the courtyard, there stood a simple pavilion, spacious and bright, with ample light suitable for reading and practicing painting alone.

As expected, there stood a woman with an aura of tranquility, her beauty otherworldly. Her elegant figure and simple attire of silken robes needed no gold or jade ornaments to enhance her breathtaking beauty.

Most importantly, she was barefoot.

Her feet, as delicate and pristine as white porcelain, exuded an enticing purity. Though seemingly inviolable, they stirred various wicked thoughts from deep within!

"Why are you avoiding me?" Zhu Minglang stepped forward and earnestly questioned.

"The Golden Crow is not a foolish bird. Having plucked its tail, how could it not evade the limelight?" Nan Lingsha replied blandly.

"I think you’re intentionally avoiding me," Zhu Minglang said.

"How did you find this place?"

"The Weaver Star told me," Zhu Minglang said.

"Oh, since you have such a close relationship with her, why not spend more effort on her, rather than waste time here with me?" Nan Lingsha replied as she painted.

"She’s planning to steal the Sword Spirit Dragon. Only she can break through Empress Li’s defenses," Zhu Minglang said.

"I can’t help with that," Nan Lingsha said.

"..."

Zhu Minglang was baffled.

Nan Lingsha enjoyed fighting; she was willing to intervene in the Golden Crow’s affair. Why wasn’t she interested this time?

This puzzled Zhu Minglang.

Was it that Nan Lingsha really cared about the Weaver Star?

They must get along well; otherwise, the Weaver Star wouldn’t know where Nan Lingsha was hiding.

"Are you jealous?" Zhu Minglang tentatively asked.

Nan Lingsha paused her painting, turned slightly, and her bright eyes fixed on Zhu Minglang, with a hint of cold pride and nobility.

"Are you afraid of falling for me too, so you’ve been avoiding me?" Zhu Minglang continued.

Nan Lingsha turned back and continued painting on the hanging scroll. Her brush strokes were rapid, perhaps because Zhu Minglang had disrupted her mood. She hastily finished the last strokes of the painting.

Zhu Minglang went up, helped her organize the paints, and continued, "If you can’t accept it in your heart, you can think of my past self as from a previous life. In this life, I descended from the Fang Clan’s mountain, obtained my first Juvenile Spirit from the Young Spirit Court, embarked on a long journey of cultivation, met the Weaver Star, took her as my master, got to know you, and realized our meeting was too late."

"Don’t you think you’re deceiving yourself?" Nan Lingsha said.

"I feel it’s you who’s in denial. When you’re awake, you can avoid me. But when you sleep, you can’t stop Yu Suo. Instead of worrying every day about where it might lead me and Yu Suo, why not be honest with me while you’re conscious? Forget my past self, and treat me like an acquaintance you’ve just met..." Zhu Minglang said.

Nan Lingsha felt a strong sense of repulsion.

She wanted to leave in a huff.

But before she could step away, she felt her heart racing, and a sense of joy unexpectedly surged within her!

This joy wasn’t her own emotion.

The sleeping Yu Suo clearly anticipated Zhu Minglang saying such words to her.

Can this rhetoric of past and present lives really be believed?

Yet this might be the most convincing rhetoric during these long waits, otherwise, how could she face this person?

In this life, he hasn’t met Li Yunzi yet...

The most maddening and laughable part is that this guy has an inexplicable relationship with Li Xuansang too. It seems fate has tightly bound their destinies together.

Red Sun, it’s a bond they can’t evade!

As a goddess, she sees this all too clearly!

"Fine, I won’t avoid you," Nan Lingsha knew what Zhu Minglang wanted, so she replied earnestly.

"Let’s give each other a chance, then," Zhu Minglang grinned, looking quite smug.

"After reclaiming the Sword Spirit Dragon, you must sever ties with Li Xuansang," Nan Lingsha said.

"I’m genuinely clean with her," Zhu Minglang emphasized.

"You can’t see the destiny bestowed by the heavens?" Nan Lingsha replied coldly.

Zhu Minglang was at a loss.

They’re all immortals, after all, everyone can glimpse parts of fate and destiny!

It must be the Moon Elder drinking fake wine.

Such a wonderful master-disciple tale, yet destiny insists on binding it to romance, but I own my fate, and I won’t heed this "heavenly match"!

Cherishing what fate forbids, sticking to one grand passion!

"I’m a person of integrity, you can rest assured of that," Zhu Minglang said.

Helping Nan Lingsha arrange the paints back in the house, Zhu Minglang originally intended to express his intention.

But thinking that Nan Lingsha’s jealousy had just faded, saying he needed the Ancestral Temple Goddess’s power might get his name wildly crossed out in the book of life and death!

The Ancestral Temple Goddess’s power clearly belongs to Nan Yuso.

Nan Lingsha doesn’t possess it.

Sigh, though still a virgin in this life, I live like some playboy, navigating among wonderful women!

...

"I once contemplated at the Valley of Ten Thousand Dragons and glimpsed a Golden Azure Dragon among the myriad of dragons, though I didn’t think much of it then, it evoked a sense of familiarity while painting," Nan Lingsha said, knowing Zhu Minglang sought other lost dragon pets.

"Is the painting still here, let me see," Zhu Minglang asked.

"We can enter the painting," Nan Lingsha said.

"Oh, oh, that’s good, looking at the painting might be hard to recognize, after all, they might have undergone Reincarnation Transformation, but if on scene..." Zhu Minglang nodded in agreement.

Nan Lingsha took out a sealed scroll from the house. As she released the seal, the scroll floated up by itself and began to unfold!

The painting spread not only within the house but expanded outward at an astonishing speed, unfolding an immeasurable and vast world.

In an instant, Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha were no longer in the small house; they were amidst a vast and silvery land, where ancient mythical silver pines stood, mountains grand enough to touch the heavens...

And above the ancient Silver Pine Land and the Touching Heaven Mountain Range in the sky, there was the most breathtaking scene—the Valley of Ten Thousand Dragons inverted in the sky!!!
