Chapter 54: Return to Heaven

Tanuki hung his head slightly, and his voice was a little bitter: "The master doesn't need to say much, Tanuki knows it." ”

Of course he understood what she meant, she had said so many things to him, but there was only one sentence that really came to him.

The retreat that Nuwa Ancient God had painstakingly planned for her before she died was not for her to continue these children's affections.

Tanuki knew that she was blaming him for being too intimate with her before he behaved towards her, blaming him for having thoughts about her that he shouldn't have been.

Yes, the unspeakable feelings that he had hidden before, Zi Yu, whose soul had not yet awakened, didn't understand, but now that her memories have been fully recovered, she can see through them at a glance.

It's just that she doesn't know that even though she and Ziyu are actually one person in a fundamental sense, in his eyes, Ziyu has always been just Ziyu, not her, and not anyone else.

And the one he likes has always been Ziyu.

But there is no need to say these words clearly.

"That's good. Until the void is removed, I am just Ziyu, and you should stop calling me master. Nan Ying frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Just continue to call me 'Xiao Yu'er', so as not to show your feet." ”

"No." Tanuki reflexively refused.

Nan Hotaru looked at Tanuki with some puzzlement, her eyes full of puzzlement. The raccoon dog suddenly came back to his senses, and then said: "The raccoon still calls the master 'master' in private, and then 'Xiao Yu'er' in front of others." ”

"That's fine." Nan Ying nodded, standing at the door and stretching lazily, "How long have Ah Yan and Ah Li left?" ”

"When I woke up, the Blue Dragon Divine Monarch and the White Tiger Divine Monarch were already gone, and it had been almost five days."

"Can you go to the Celestial Realm? I'd like to go back to the Celestial Realm first. Nan Hotaru continued to ask, "When we come back from the Heavenly Realm, we will go to find Ah Yan and Ah Li." ”

Hearing this, Tanuki thought for a moment, and said, "I'm going to meet on the grounds of discussing the affairs of the demon world, and then I'll find something else to delay for a while, and there will be about a pillar of incense."

"That's enough." South Hotaru Road.

Since the war with the void, she has hidden her soul in the purple hosta flower and stayed in the mortal world for thousands of years. Returning to the heavenly realm again after thousands of years in the mortal world, Nan Hotaru couldn't help but feel a little trance when she looked at everything familiar here.

In fact, since her demise, this heavenly realm has only passed more than ten years.

The entrance that Tanuki took her to was the South Gate of the Heavenly Realm, and it was also the area that belonged to her back then.

Nan Hotaru understood what Tanuki meant, her current shell appearance was eighty percent similar to her originally, and the guards at the South Gate were still her subordinates back then.

For the sake of this face, the guards at the South Gate will also be much more tolerant of her, which will also make it easier for her to blend in.

As Nan Ying expected, she didn't take much effort to sneak into the heavenly court from the south gate, carefully avoiding the immortals and gods who were wandering on the road and the fairy maids and fairy children who were hurrying, and finally walked to the Mingze Palace.

Mingze Palace was the palace that the Emperor of Heaven rewarded the four of them when she and Dongyan, Xili and Beizang were named gods.

The Mingze Palace is very large, and a wide road leads to the main hall at the entrance, and there is a fairy cypress on both sides of the road, and there is a winding stone road leading to the stone table under the fairy cypress. The two sides of the hall can lead to the Qinglong Palace and the Xuanwu Palace, and the back of the palace is a bay of lotus ponds, and the two sides of the lotus pond can lead to the Vermilion Bird Palace and the White Tiger Palace.

The four palaces of Qinglong, Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird and White Tiger are located in the east, north, south and west of the Mingze Palace respectively, which means that Dongyan, Beizang, she and Xili are in charge of heaven and earth, and their status is extraordinary.

In the past, because of the respect of the four of them, although there were not many immortal families in this Mingze Palace who came and went every day, they were not few.

But since she died, the east descended to the earth, the west left the closed door, and the north Tibetan retreated, this Mingze Palace was silent, and now she has not even bumped into a sweeping fairy maid along the way from coming in to walking back to the Vermilion Bird Palace.

But when Nan Hotaru walked into Suzaku Palace, she noticed that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that the Vermilion Bird Palace has been sealed forever since she died out that year, and now more than ten years have passed, and the palace should be full of fallen leaves and dead branches.

But in fact, from the time she entered the palace gate to the time she returned to the room, there were no fallen leaves and dead branches along the way, and there was not even a little dust. It's just that Nan Hotaru didn't have time to think about it at this time, and found her study according to her memory.

The study room was quiet, and the ancient books on the shelves were neatly arranged, and there was not a trace of dust on them. Nan Hotaru frowned and found a sealed box that she had hidden under the bookshelf and gave to her when the ancient god of Nuwa was gone, and carefully opened it.

There was a red bead lying in the box, and it began to glow when Nan Hotaru opened the box. Nan Hotaru stretched out her hand to caress the bead, closed her eyes and began to recite the magic trick silently, and in an instant, the bead flashed red.

The red light quickly disappeared, along with the orb. Nan Hotaru opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and immediately returned the box to its place.

After doing this, Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the study and walked towards the outside of the palace.

After coming out of the Vermilion Bird Palace, Ziyu did not stop, and carefully prepared to leave the Mingze Palace, but when she passed by the lotus pond, she was suddenly stopped by a voice: "Ah Ying, is it you?"

The voice came from behind her, mixed with surprise and a hint of dissure. Nan Hotaru froze when she heard this, and then returned to normal, with an innocent smile on her face, and her eyes were full of curiosity and looked towards the source of the voice: "Who are you?"

"I'm Beizang, don't you remember me?"

Beizang was even more excited when he saw Nan Hotaru's appearance, and quickly stepped forward as if he wanted to hold Nan Hotaru, but Nan Hotaru turned slightly to avoid it.

Nan Hotaru took a few steps back without a trace, still looking at Beizang with inquiring eyes, and her voice was full of curiosity: "Beizang? Are you the 'Xuanwu God Monarch Beizang' that Tanuki said? ”

Nan Hotaru said with a happy smile on her face, and looked at Beizang who stayed beside her with admiration: "Divine Monarch Divine Monarch, are you really an ancient divine beast that has lived for tens of thousands of years?"

Beizang froze in place when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Hotaru, what's wrong with you?" What are you ......?"

"Hotaru? I'm not called Hotaru. Nan Hotaru pursed her lips and looked at Beizang, with a little dissatisfaction in her voice, "Shenjun, my name is Ziyu, and I am not the Ah Hotaru in your mouth." ”

Beizang was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly grabbed Nan Hotaru's hand, and couldn't help but say, "I don't believe it, you are Ah Hotaru." You look exactly like her, you have her breath on you, although it is very shallow, but I am sure, you must be Hotaru! ”

Beizang said and was about to pull Nan Hotaru towards the Suzaku Palace: "I don't know why you lied to me, and I don't want to know. Even if it is for the sake of me that I have kept the Suzaku Palace in the same face as you left in the first place, will you confess? ”

Nan Hotaru endured the sourness in her heart, and struggled to break free from the hand that Beizang was holding onto her, and said loudly while trying to pull out the hand that was caught: "What are you doing!" Can the Divine Monarch bully people? You let go! ”

Kitazo suddenly stopped, turned to see Nan Hotaru was about to speak, but was knocked aside by the sudden red light.

Before the red light landed on the ground, there was a burst of laughter: "Xiao Yu'er is rude, why don't you meet the Xuanwu Divine Monarch soon."

Beizang was slightly in a trance when he heard this voice, and Nan Hotaru also took the opportunity to break free of Beizang's shackles and turned around and retreated behind the red light.

The red light was behind, and it was a raccoon dog dressed in red who appeared in place.

Tanuki smiled and pulled out Nan Hotaru, who was hiding behind him and probing his brain, glanced at Nan Hotaru who looked panicked amusedly, and said to Beizang: "The Divine Monarch is indeed mistaken, she is the princess Ziyu of my demon clan, not the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch Nan Hotaru." ”

As he spoke, Tanuki pushed Ziyu forward again, and whispered, "Don't be presumptuous in front of the Divine Monarch, salute quickly." ”

Only then did Zi Yu pout and bend her knees towards Beizang disrespectfully, and muttered in a low voice: "What kind of god is this, he will bully people." ”

Tanuki rubbed his temples helplessly, and bowed to Beizang and said, "She is so pampered by me that she is unruly, and I hope that Shenjun will forgive her." ”

Beizang looked at the two people in front of him singing and harmonizing, his face was slightly ugly but he didn't say much, so he had to wave his hand and turn around and leave.

After the figure of the north hid completely disappeared from view, Nan Hotaru breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up the raccoon dog and hurriedly ran outside, until he ran out of the south gate, he relaxed and sat down on the auspicious clouds panting.

Tanuki straightened out his slightly messy clothes, and wanted to speak, but seeing Nan Hotatsu's extremely tired appearance, he had to swallow those words back and sit quietly aside.

Nan Hotaru came to her senses for a while, and turned her head to look at Tanuki: "Isn't Beizang in retreat, how can he appear in Mingze Palace?" ”

"Just now, I saw the appearance of the Xuanwu Divine Monarch and seemed to be extremely reluctant to see me, thinking that the master's method of sealing the poison in my body was passed back by the White Tiger Divine Monarch, and the Xuanwu Divine Monarch would only get out of the customs because he was angry." Tanuki replied.

Nan Hotaru sighed and didn't speak again. Seeing this, the raccoon dog was silent for a long time, and the words were swallowed back after a few deliberations.

Whatever Hotaru does is her own choice, and as her pet, he has no right to interfere with her choice. She would rather hurt the three dear and beloved gods, and hide her identity as the last trump card against the beetle snake demon, although he didn't understand, he could only choose to support.

The two returned to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain in silence and returned to the palace in silence.

When parting, Nan Hotaru suddenly said to Tanuki: "The ancient god Nuwa was kind to me, and she entrusted me with this matter before she died, so I will complete this for her even if I lose everything." ”

"Void is too cunning, even the identity of the person who fell into his snake venom is extraordinary, whether it is a song or Xu Shiyan, the two of them are more or less similar to me. I didn't believe that I was dead, and I always suspected that Ziyu was me, so I set up these schemes, but I could only follow his schemes. ”

"Tanuki, you see, even if this is just a conspiracy against me designed by Void, I will definitely beat him, even if the end is to destroy together, I will win."
