Chapter 637: Chapter 637 Attempts to Hide Only Reveal

The rupture with Lu Yichen had happened too quickly back then, and it had drained far too much energy.

At that time, there were many things Zhong Niangyao didn’t even have time to think about, as her divine soul was almost completely dispersed due to an accident.

Now that she thought about it, there were indeed many strange things about it. It’s just that at the time, she was too preoccupied to ponder too much.

Lu Yichen also figured out the trickery behind it all, and a hint of cold murderous intent flashed through his eyes, "No matter who is behind this, I will not let her go."

Zhong Niangyao smiled but said nothing.

However, her intentions and Lu Yichen’s were exactly the same at this moment.

"My Lord, Your Highness, both of you have now regained all your strength and memories, so it’s time to return."

Yuan Hao, seeing the two reconcile as before, finally completely let go of his concerns and brought up another matter, "Above the Nine Heavens, within Qingqiu, they are all waiting for their masters to return."

Lu Yichen looked down at Zhong Niangyao beside him and remained silent.

He didn’t care about where they were. As long as he could be with Zhong Niangyao, whether it was in heaven or earth, it was home to him. He was now leaving the decision up to Zhong Niangyao to decide where they would go.

"We won’t return just yet," Zhong Niangyao said with a smile, shaking her head. "I have some unfinished business in the Human World, and I don’t plan to leave yet. Once everything is resolved, we will naturally return."

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Yuan Hao felt something was amiss and couldn’t help but open his mouth to persuade, "Your Highness, you and the Lord have regained your memories, is it really appropriate to continue staying in the Human World? Besides—"

"We’ve already decided."

Before Yuan Hao could finish, Lu Yichen interjected directly, his icy gaze landing on Yuan Hao, "Are you teaching me how to handle my affairs?"

A simple sentence made Yuan Hao feel as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

How could he forget! This was not an ordinary person, but the Lord of the Nine Heavens—Lord Yichen. The ruler over the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, heaven and earth, the Three Worlds, was not someone he should question.

His knees weakened and Yuan Hao immediately knelt down, admitting his fault, "I have overstepped my bounds."

Lu Yichen’s voice continued coldly without a hint of softness because of Yuan Hao’s admission, "Stand up! If there is a next time, go receive your punishment yourself."

Only then did Yuan Hao finally breathe a sigh of relief and slowly stood up. However, his legs were still weak.

When Lu Yichen just chastised Yuan Hao, Zhong Niangyao didn’t speak.

Now seeing Yuan Hao standing up, Zhong Niangyao didn’t hesitate and directly said, "Yuan Hao, go back to hell first! As for the return of mine and Yichen’s divine souls, there is no need for you to spread the word. When the time comes, we will naturally return to the Divine World."

Yuan Hao lifted his head, glanced at Zhong Niangyao, and then at Lu Yichen, before replying respectfully, "I understand. Lady and Lord, please take care."

Since the two present had no immediate intentions of returning, persuading them further was futile. Moreover, now that the Lord’s body had fully recovered its strength and Lady Yaoxi was doing well.

The strength of these two was formidable, and they could resolve any matter they encountered. Therefore, he had absolutely no need to worry about them.

Yuan Hao left swiftly.

Unlike the heavy steps he had on the way here, his footsteps were much lighter, and his mood naturally improved greatly.

It wasn’t until Yuan Hao’s figure disappeared from sight that Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but speak up mockingly, "Yichen, how can such a person be King Yan! How come it was not apparent before?"

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s description, Lu Yichen felt somewhat amused for a moment, shook his head, and spoke, "You also know what Yuan Hao’s temperament is like. Although he appears that way, his work is actually very reliable."

Zhong Niangyao shook her head amusedly and then realized somewhat belatedly that the surroundings seemed a bit messy.

"What’s going on? Why is the bottom of the cliff like this?"

It’s not that she expected the bottom of the cliff to necessarily be lush with green grass, mountains, and rivers, but it shouldn’t be such a mess either! Flowers, grass, and trees were uprooted everywhere.

The disarray looked as if a great catastrophe had just occurred.

When Zhong Niangyao brought this up out of the blue, Lu Yichen felt a bit guilty for a moment. Because he was the one who caused all of this.

Just now, all his attention had been on Zhong Niangyao, so he naturally couldn’t have spared any effort to pay attention to his surroundings.

With a wave of his hand, a flash of divine power passed, and the environment around them changed dramatically.

The disarray disappeared without a trace, replaced by a thriving and splendid scene. Flowers bloomed everywhere, trees provided ample shade, and there was even a small pond not far off.

The bottom of the cliff looked like a small isolated paradise.

Seeing Lu Yichen’s attempts to clumsily conceal his misdeeds, Zhong Niangyao rolled her eyes and then teased him with a laugh, "It seems that the mess from just now was all your handiwork!"

Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Niangyao with tenderness but did not reply.

Although Zhong Niangyao said this, she didn’t necessarily expect Lu Yichen to answer. Therefore, in the face of Lu Yichen’s silence, she didn’t continue to press the issue.

Then, as if remembering something, Lu Yichen held Zhong Niangyao’s hand a bit tighter and spoke, "Yaoyao, where did you go just now?"

After hearing Lu Yichen’s question, the smile on Zhong Niangyao’s face slightly stiffened, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, "Yichen, you don’t know, do you! Inside this cliff, there was actually a strand of my residual soul."

"Earlier, when we were above, I could already feel a strong attraction to this place. It turns out it was my strand of residual soul that was drawing my heart here. It was also because of the return of this strand of residual soul that my divine soul and memories have fully recovered."

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, a flicker of realization crossed Lu Yichen’s eyes, "That indeed is good news."

Without that strand of soul, Zhong Niangyao’s divine soul would definitely not have been able to recover.

However, sometimes he also wondered, for Zhong Niangyao, whether regaining her memories was really a good thing. Whether as a mortal, Zhong Niangyao would have been happier!

Looking up, seeing that Zhong Niangyao’s mood seemed to have returned to normal, Lu Yichen also let out a long sigh of relief.
