The ancient martial arts master traveled through time
Chapter 181: Dealing with Prisoners [23]
Ruan Xiaojiu listened to Gui Qianying's story. Although Gui Qianying was sarcastic in his words, he didn't seem to be telling lies.
At this moment, her heart was incomparably shaken. Pluto and the Queen had sacrificed so much to save her, sacrificing both of them to be imprisoned and tortured by that old Heavenly Emperor. Was it worth it?
She has been cold-hearted and emotionless over the years. She will not put herself in danger for anyone, nor will she be tolerant of others just because they are nice to her.
She was somewhat distraught and her heart became very heavy. She walked on the beach without saying a word.
Luo Shu looked at this strong girl and didn't know how to comfort her. Perhaps she didn't need his comfort at all.
He could only follow Ruan Xiaojiu and guard him silently.
Thousands of people in white masks stood stupidly on the beach, waiting to be dealt with.
Mocha could tell his master was in a bad mood, so he followed obediently, not daring to disturb his little master. He had heard what Gui Qianying had said, and knew his little master wouldn't be able to accept it all at once, and would need time to digest it.
The city lord, accompanied by hundreds of guards, waited anxiously at the border. Just as they were about to arrive, they spotted Ruan Xiaojiu approaching from afar. He quickly approached and asked, "How's it going? Your Highness, have you found the most important official here? Is he at the bottom of the sea? Where is he? Ah?" He peppered her with questions, one after another. Miss Ruan ignored them and didn't answer.
The city lord was puzzled. What had happened? Why did the prince become like this?
Ruan Xiaojiu walked straight past the city lord and got on the carriage she had come in. She told the driver, "Return to the city."
The city lord stood there in confusion. What was going on? Was there anyone who could tell him?
When I turned around, I saw Luo Shu. He also looked absent-minded. What happened?
When Luo Shu saw Ruan Xiaojiu leave, he stood there, not knowing where to go. His brothers were all dead, and now he was the only one left. He was a little confused.
The city lord took the opportunity to walk over and said, "My dear brother, do you know what happened to our prince?"
Luo Shu glanced at the city lord indifferently without saying anything. Instead, he came to a few brothers and began to use his internal force to dig a hole. After just a few punches, a hole was formed where one person could lie. He buried his brothers in it and made a big grave mound.
After doing all this, he stood there and thought for a moment, and finally made a decision.
He had nowhere to go and he admired the princess very much, so he followed his heart and followed her first.
Suddenly thinking of the thousand people on the beach, he walked towards the city lord.
The city lord looked for a long time, not knowing what had happened. When he saw Luo Shu walking towards him, he thought Luo Shu wanted to tell him the whole story.
Luo Shu came to the city lord and said to him, there are still a thousand people who have become idiots on the beach. You should take care of the arrangements first and don't let so many laborers die.
After saying that, he quickened his pace to catch up with Ruan Xiaojiu's carriage.
The city lord was puzzled as to how he was going to deal with those people. Seeing that everyone had left, he also got on the carriage, asked the hundred people to follow behind to protect him, and quickly left the place.
Ruan Xiaojiu has been in a chaotic and confused state, absent-minded and without any spirit.
Because she thought Gui Qianying was right. With her current strength, she could not do anything. She could not go to heaven, nor could she save her father, the king, and her mother.
A teardrop fell on the back of her hand. She looked at the tears on her hand and touched her cheek.
She cried, and it was the first time in her life that she cried with emotion. It was also the first time that she felt the bond of family affection. It was not the shallow and mediocre one like that of Ruan Jun'an and Ruan Guolong, but a desire from the heart to possess and protect.
She had lived a carefree and unrestrained life for the past five hundred years, never once considering the existence of her parents in this world. Even if she knew, she wouldn't have cared much, because she was ruthless and didn't like being restricted.
Sometimes she wondered how real her feelings for others were, and even she herself couldn't tell the difference.
But now she felt extremely clearly the heartache and unwillingness towards Pluto and his wife. No matter what, she had to find a way to make herself strong and rescue them so that their family could be reunited.
Before they knew it, the carriage had returned to Qionghai City, and the little flame was already lying in Ruan Xiaojiu's palm.
Moka was also depressed along the way. He wanted to go back to his master's space to rest, but he didn't dare to ask for it when his master was in a bad mood.
They had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and Mo Ka went straight back to Ruan Xiaojiu's house.
Luo Shu was a little tired after running all the way, so he sat on a rock outside the City Lord's Mansion, breathing heavily.
Seeing this, the city lord said, "If you have nowhere to go for the time being, come to my city lord's mansion and stay there first!"
Luo Shu stood up gratefully and saluted the city lord, then followed him in.
Ruan Xiaojiu returned to her room and stayed there for three days. During these three days, she stayed inside the white door of the totem space. She summoned the trace of consciousness left in Hades' body, and cried bitterly, saying that she was sorry for them and kept apologizing.
The King of Hell wanted to stroke Ruan Xiaojiu's head distressed, but something occurred to him. He just said comfortingly, "Xiaojiu, this isn't your fault. Your mother and I did this willingly for you. We already knew that the Emperor of Heaven had tampered with the Soul-Separating Pearl, but even so, we still wanted our bodies to be by your side. Now that you've remembered everything, your father is relieved. You must remember what your father says next and don't be careless."
"What's the matter?" Ruan Xiaojiu wiped away her tears and listened carefully.
"The Heavenly Emperor targeted us, not just to eliminate us, but because the sun appeared in the Ghost Realm when you were born. The sun represents sunlight, a symbol of subversive power. How could the Heavenly Emperor tolerate this? Afterwards, the Heavenly Emperor sought out the Purple Star Divine Monarch, but he alone couldn't foresee your future and even faced backlash. The Heavenly Emperor knew this matter was serious and was willing to sacrifice his own lifespan to determine what you would dominate in the future."
Ruan Xiaojiu asked, "He finally came out?"
Hades sneered and said, "Of course he has to figure it out, otherwise he won't be able to sleep well."
"What is it?" Ruan Xiaojiu felt a ripple in his heart.
"Of course, you are an existence that can overturn the entire world, so he will seal you away at all costs."
"Then why didn't you seal me before? I must have been very weak in my previous life, right? Wouldn't it be easier to seal me?" Ruan Xiaojiu asked.
"With me here, he won't succeed. If he dares to touch you, I will stop him even if it means my soul is annihilated. Besides, he seemed hesitant about sealing you back then, and instead targeted me and your mother more."
