Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 140 Time is like a shell

"Zhi...Jin'er..."

The call from afar lingers on the affection that has never faded in a long time.

She turned around, the palace was silent, the flowers and trees were lonely, the night was young, and there was no one.But she vaguely felt that there was a person standing here, watching gently with eyes that pierced through the years.

"Who is it?"

After finishing speaking, the wooden bracelet landed on the bluestone brick, knocking lightly on the door of her memories.

"Zu Yun." She didn't know whether to rejoice or miss him infinitely.

"It's me, put on the bracelet and let me take you away."

"Why didn't you show up?"

He whispered, "I am going down to the realm this time to secretly investigate the matter of Huode Xingjun's defection to the demon world. I must not show my real body, so as to arouse the vigilance of the demon world."

Zhijin hesitated again and again, holding the bracelet, making sure that no one was looking around.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Go to a safe place, catch up with you, put it on quickly...why, after so many days, you don't believe me anymore..."

As if she made up her mind, she said to her only friend in the Heavenly Court, "If I don't believe you, I'll yell and let the demon guards arrest you."

Zu Yun smiled calmly and said dotingly, "Let's go!"

Birds chirping in the empty mountains, green and fragrant forests, this place is really a good place.

"Long time no see, how are you?" He finally appeared, wearing a jade crown and clothes, but the folding fan that never changed for thousands of years was missing in his hand.

Those days when I used to quarrel with him in the heavenly court and disliked each other, it turned out to be far away in a blink of an eye... She remembered that he was the one who took her to see the most beautiful galaxy, and that he became her first friend.It is also him who cares and cherishes himself in the lonely and timid life in heaven.

She hugged him, as if hugging herself who first entered the heaven hundreds of years ago, a little fire demon who didn't know what to do or what to do.

If it was the past, he would definitely grab her by the clothes, pull her out of his arms, and say with disgust, "You little monster, you dare to hug the prince, you are so brave!"Unless the prince takes the initiative, he cannot do anything to the prince.

It seems that the passing years have formed a shell for our hearts, which is solid and firm, but cold and closed.

She is not the ignorant waitress who was by Huode Xingjun's side back then.He is no longer the funny No. [-] idler in the heavens, but now he is the prince who regards power as his destiny.

The prince was always him, but he didn't care about it in the past, and he didn't understand what he would have and what he would lose as a prince.

"Ever since you were exiled to the demon world, I have been thinking about how to return you to heaven in a legitimate way..." He hugged her tightly, as if he could feel that her heart was still intact.

Back then, she was framed for bewitching the prince, and he used the old things left by his mother concubine Mu Wan to ask for mercy from the emperor of heaven, and only exiled her.Then, he was extremely guilty, and because he couldn't keep his true love, he made a promise to become the next emperor of heaven.At that time, he finally understood that power and status are the foundation of his life.He learned to play tricks, and approached the high throne step by step.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

He was mean on purpose, and said angrily, "You don't know, how long has a dignified prince of the heavenly clan, prince of the heavenly realm, knelt outside the Zimi Palace where people come and go! Tell me how you thank me!"

Zhijin laughed, laughing at him for so many years as he did back then, and also laughing at him as he did back then.

"Thank you for what you are doing. It is obviously your father who repented and exiled me to a desolate place, almost killing me." She also pretended to be angry that he was not pleading for mercy, but was deliberately eradicating dissidents.

"Oh, I have sent someone to inquire about this matter. Someone has tampered with it. Don't blame me."

Without Zu Yun's explanation, she certainly guessed who it was.Whether it was being framed in the Heavenly Court, or being framed in exile, and later, being imprisoned in a burden in the East China Sea by magic, and thrown on Wangdao... all these were not caused by the woman named Wan Qi Why?

Worse, she suddenly remembered sadly that Zhong Yan, the beautiful man from Cishan, separated from her in the East China Sea, and there was no news from each other after that, and she didn't know if he knew that she was safe and returned to Cishan smoothly... She owed him a farewell.

"It seems that you have figured it out clearly, who is setting up the trick behind it." Zu Yun was quite leisurely, looking at her with a strategizing appearance. "I think you've become a lot smarter since you left Heaven."

"I would like to ask you, why would the number one idler in the heavens come down to the world to do business in person?"

Zu Yun calmed down and folded his arms, "It's not because of your Xingjun."

He looked at her face carefully, and continued, "Oh, I can't talk about your family anymore. After all, she is now married to a charming lady, enjoys the daughter of the spring night, and has become the brother of the demon king."

Zhijin turned around and looked at a piece of Qichi Yunxia from a distance, feeling uncertain.

"It's very strange, it's really time urging people. If it was back then, you would definitely jump up and beat me, calling me nonsense."

"Zu Yun." She called his name.

He responded to her with extreme tenderness and complicated emotions.When he missed her crazily, he sent a fairy attendant to look for her in the exiled land, but he couldn't find her no matter what.He thought it was because she didn't like that place, so he left.He could only persuade himself that one day, he would welcome her back to the heaven in a glorious manner, and become his queen, his only wife.

"The past is the past, the present is the truth."

"You're right, it's the most true at this moment, but..." He hesitated to speak, unable to bear to dismantle it. "It's just, have you ever thought about the future?"

"Why later?"

"The choice at this moment."

"I'm not you... I'm just a little fire demon, so I don't have any choice."

Zu Yun held her hand with unprecedented seriousness, "If I say, you are not a fire demon."

"I'm not a fire demon, who could it be?" She didn't know, she broke free and took off the wooden bracelet, "Besides, I don't want to choose anything. Since Xingjun has abandoned me, I will find my hometown by myself." The way, just go back."

"Do you still remember what I told you, who is the source of the five-color glow in the sky?" He asked tremblingly, not like the tone of a prince of heaven.

She couldn't remember which day it was, she only remembered that it was in Xingjun's study.In front of the window is a peach blossom, pink and white, swaying softly.They talk about the beauty of Xinghe, or the beauty of Xiaguang.

She said, Galaxy.Because Xingjun said that the galaxy in the sky is the most beautiful scenery in the world.

But Zu Yun could tell that she liked Xia Guang.

Zu Yun told her that when he was young, he was practicing art in Tianshu Pavilion, and he heard a story told by his master. He said that a long time ago, a phoenix fairy died in love in Yanggu, and her body turned into colorful rays of light.

The fairy who died in love came from Dongfang Ayin, a former aristocrat in the heavens, that is, the almost extinct Dongluan clan that has been deprived of its title now.

"Come from the world, an infatuated woman." She indifferently watched the rosy rays of the sun linger, and the brilliance pass away.

"The infatuated ninth princess is named Tong Ni."

"What exactly do you want to say?" She was puzzled by his faltering, but there was something in his words.

"Zhi...you are the daughter of that old man."
