Chapter 387 Old Love? New Love?
Sang Luo paused, not expecting Yan to return.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The restrictions in the underground palace had been triggered, so he would definitely rush back as soon as possible. It was a pity that she had written him a letter a few days before he left, but she still hadn't received a reply. The treatment of a substitute was indeed different from the real deal.
"Xiao Luo."
Yan's Adam's apple bobbed, with a hint of nervousness.
Sang Luo was surprisingly calm. "Has God Venerable figured out what explanation to give me?"
"You… you know everything."
His voice was hoarse.
What else could Sang Luo not understand?
Yan had been intimate with her twice.
The first time, he was lured by the illusion of an aphrodisiac and mistook her for the deceased Red Fox Clan princess.
The second time, she wore his fiancée's clothes, reminding him of this ill-fated beauty, which aroused his desire for her, treating her as a vessel to express his emotions and love.
Sang Luo felt that Yan was also quite pitiful and sad. Knowing that his fiancée had already left, he was still willing to indulge in a false dream to make up for the regrets of the past.
She had also had a premonition that Yan sometimes treated her with respectful, gentle, and distant manners, while at other times, he would reveal a trace of lingering affection. However, the way he looked at her seemed to be through her, looking at someone else…
Yan admitted it.
"At that time, I thought she had returned, and I mistakenly took you for her…"
"God Venerable is well aware that the Red Fox Clan princess has already left. Isn't this reason too clumsy?"
"I thought it was just a dream. In previous years, I had dreamed of her more than once, so that time…"
Sang Luo nodded, interrupting him, "I understand."
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't upset at all. Sang Luo felt a little choked up. She had such an intimate relationship with Yan, so it was impossible for her not to care. However, they had only spent a short time together, and she didn't have much deep affection for him. It was just that he had really admitted in front of her that she was just a substitute for the Red Fox Clan princess, which would make anyone extremely unhappy!
"I will pack my things and leave Qingqiu today, and I will no longer disturb God Venerable."
For the first time, Sang Luo saw a clear fluctuation in the man's emotions. Yan's breathing stopped, and he quickly walked up to her, staring at her eyes, with reluctance and reluctance in the depths of his eyes…
Sang Luo smelled the faint and pleasant herbal scent on his body again, which was very likable. At this moment, she couldn't help but think that Yan might have some feelings for her, or perhaps, he didn't want to let go of the substitute he had finally found.
In the end, he didn't try to keep her, and said softly,
"I'm sorry."
"There's nothing to be sorry about. God Venerable has helped me a lot. It was I who schemed against you first, taking such a big advantage of you. I'm afraid I don't know if I can ever repay it in this lifetime."
Sang Luo shook her head and said in a low voice, "It's just that my heart feels heavy."
Yan's eyes trembled slightly, and he raised his hand to caress her face. Sang Luo tilted her head slightly and took two steps back, avoiding him.
Yan's slender, jade-like palm stopped in mid-air.
Sang Luo looked up and gave him a dazzling and radiant smile, and Yan was stunned again.
She smiled mischievously, "Am I very similar to that Red Fox Clan princess?"
Yan came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Your personalities are very different from hers. She grew up being pampered and spoiled, and was often willful and arrogant. You are very good, there is no need to compare yourself to her… I'm sorry, Xiao Luo, I was wrong."
"No matter how bad the princess's temperament was, God Venerable loved her very much."
Yan was silent.
Sang Luo asked with a smile, "What about me, God Venerable? Have you ever had a trace of liking for me? A sincere liking?"
Yan didn't tell her the answer, perhaps, even he himself didn't know.
After Sang Luo left God Venerable's mansion, Old Village Chief Xu came over.
He saw God Venerable standing outside the door like a withered stone, looking into the distance, not knowing how long he had been looking. But there was no one there anymore.
Xu glanced at the courtyard again, empty and deserted, without a single figure.
"Sang Luo Guici has left?"
"Yes."
Yan's fox eyes slowly blinked, feeling a little sore from the wind blowing for so long.
Xu sighed, "Ah! This old servant is getting old and confused, and my mind is not clear."
At first, he really thought that Sang Luo and Yan were just ordinary quasi-master-disciple relationships. Later, after thinking carefully, the more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong. Then he remembered Sang Luo's painting, and the questions she asked later… Even if he was an old fool, he understood a little bit. Now that he came over and saw God Venerable's reaction, he naturally understood everything.
Even he, an outsider, could see that God Venerable liked her.
It's just that God Venerable has trapped himself all these years and is unwilling to come out.
Yan was lost in thought, "I betrayed Wan'er…"
His low, hoarse voice contained a trace of pain, and more of confusion.
Xu sighed softly, "God Venerable and the princess did not complete the wedding, nor did they have a partner's mark, so how can you talk about betrayal? So many years have passed, it is time for you to let go."
"…"
He advised, "You have guarded the spirit for Princess for a full 100,000 years, trapping the first half of your life in this pain. If Princess knew under the springs, she would definitely want you to come out, not to indulge in the past, and cherish the new people around you."
"Sang Luo girl is really good, smart and kind-hearted, worthy of your love and entrustment."
Yan closed his eyes.
A full 100,000 years, for him, has been a very, very long time. He is also old, and many things from that year are slowly becoming unclear… The person in his memory is also becoming more and more blurred with time…
But Sang Luo's appearance in his heart is becoming more and more clear and vivid…
He can't see his own heart anymore.
Xu said,
"The old person has passed away, you should open your heart again and accept new love."
"If you miss the sun, don't miss the bright moon again."
…
On the other side, after Sang Luo left Qingqiu, she returned to the nearest Phoenix Palace.
She wanted to ask Fei Yuan if he knew about the Witch Lotus Domain.
This flamboyant bird didn't know where he went, and hadn't returned yet.
Besides him, the oldest one was Minos.
Alas, Sang Luo used to dislike them for being too old, but in the end, when something really happened, she still had to rely on these old antiques who had lived long and seen a lot.
Holy Palace.
Minos was taking care of the children in the garden.
After he finished his morning duties every day, he spent most of his time taking care of the children.
The two children, Little Apple and Little Rose, also liked to run around and fly around in the garden, catching butterflies, braiding flower crowns, carefree.
Most of the other beast husbands had a bit of a stern father's potential, and were dedicated to cultivating their children's abilities, some even considered strict.
Every time Sang Luo came over, she saw Minos playing with the children in the garden, and never saw him teaching the children their lessons!
The two children were not very old, but they were not particularly young, and they were very clever and precocious. Minos hadn't chosen a teacher for the two children yet, he was too doting!
A loving father produces a spoiled son~
"Luo Luo, you're here."
Minos was making vanilla cake for the two children, and had just decorated a few small flowers when he saw her coming. A shallow smile appeared on his gentle and handsome face.
