Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 400 Reunion with Yan Ruyu, A Withered Flower
The layout of the peach grove is almost exactly the same as it was in the Eastern Wilderness.

For a moment, Wang Teng didn't know whether this was an order from the Heavenly Demon Palace or something that the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King had done on their own initiative.

However, one thing is certain: it was definitely not Yan Ruyu who did it.

Because of Yan Ruyu's personality, she was destined not to do such a thing.

As he strolled into the peach grove, Wang Teng smiled as he looked at the fallen blossoms around him.

It's exactly the same, it's like revisiting a familiar place!

Even deep within the peach grove, there stands an ancient temple.

Wang Teng walked deeper into the building with a smile on his face.

Petals fluttered down along the way, adding a unique touch to the place as they fell.

As Wang Teng walked, he used his power of time and space to make the fallen petals flow backward in time and space, returning them to the flowering tree.

The once beautiful petals that had fallen are now back on the tree, as if time has reversed, bringing this place back to the scene of the previous moment.

The places Wang Teng walked through seemed to be the opposite of the scene before him.

Wang Teng could sense that someone was secretly watching them.

So he waved his hand gently, and array patterns fell, enveloping the area and blocking the view of those outside.

Unless it's an ancient sage spying, no one else can see anything.

Currently, there are only a few ancient saints traveling outside, and they are all very stable and reliable people among his own. Therefore, Wang Teng does not think that those ancient saints would secretly spy on him.

Wang Tao was also very familiar with those eyes that were secretly watching him.

The bandits from the supreme holy land, including the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King.

It was obvious that they were very interested in Wang Teng's affairs, which was why they were so eager to spy on him and keep track of how things were developing between Wang Teng and the demon princess.

But Wang Teng will definitely not let them have their way.

Seeing that they couldn't see what was happening in the peach grove, they knew that Wang Teng must have discovered their spying.

"It's all your fault! I told you not to all look that way, but to send one person to look and explain what happened as they go, but you wouldn't listen and insisted that everyone look that way!"

The Azure Dragon King spoke with a mixture of disappointment and frustration.

"Yes, that's what we said from the beginning. We were told to go see it, but who knew you guys would insist on watching instead! You see, the more people watch, the greater the chance of being discovered. Now Wang Teng has found out, and none of us can see it anymore!" Peacock King chimed in, expressing his dissatisfaction.

“Ahem, sometimes whoever is the strongest present should be the one to watch, and that should be me, right?” the old blind man, ranked second among the bandits, said.

The First Great Bandit Old Immortal is not interested in these matters. He is currently studying how to enter the Ancient Saint realm. After all, he is only one step away from the Ancient Saint realm and is called a Half Saint or Quasi-Saint by others.

Therefore, for the immortal, breaking through to the realm of sages is what he desires and looks forward to the most.

So the strongest person present is the old blind man.

"Ahem, senior, I feel that it's better for me to take the look than for you to..." The Azure Dragon King coughed twice as he looked at the old blind man's tightly closed eyes and spoke.

"Little guy, what do you mean? Do you think I can't see with my eyes closed? Let me tell you the truth, although my eyes are closed, my spiritual eye is very powerful. I can see much more than you can!"

The old blind man realized what was happening, his face turned rather unpleasant, and he began to curse.

As a notorious bandit, he was certainly no pushover, and his speech was far from humble and polite.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We can't see anything now anyway. Why don't we guess how far Wang Teng and the princess will go..." one of the bandits said.

Wang Teng continued walking forward through the peach grove, knowing who awaited him at the very front.

He was also willing to go further and meet that person.

For Wang Teng, that person was truly the first and most amazing person he had encountered since arriving in the world of Shrouding the Heavens. He didn't count the Ruthless Great Emperor, after all, the gap between the Ruthless Great Emperor and him was simply too vast; the Ruthless Great Emperor was far too strong, not even on the same level as Wang Teng.

As for everyone else…

Whether it's An Miaoyi, Xia Jiuyou, or the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, although they are all stunning and surpass the most beautiful actresses Wang Teng had ever seen in his previous life, they are ultimately lacking compared to Yan Ruyu.

Having met someone truly amazing, even if you meet other amazing people, you still feel a difference.

After venturing deeper into the peach grove, Wang Teng finally saw the familiar ancient hall.

Everything is almost a one-to-one simulation of the layout of that small world in the Eastern Wilderness.

Looking at the palace before him, Wang Teng stepped forward and gently knocked on the palace door.

The palace gates opened, and inside was indeed Yan Ruyu.

"Long time no see." Wang Teng smiled.

The veil on Yan Ruyu's face had been removed, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that could bewitch all living beings.

"Long time no see." Yan Ruyu also showed a faint smile.

The two exchanged a glance and strolled tacitly through the peach grove.

Everything was just like their first stroll through the peach orchard.

This time, the petals fell as Yan Ruyu passed by, but then returned to the tree the next moment.

In a short period of time, this peach grove has experienced multiple instances of time travel.

The two walked forward in silence.

When they reached the end of the peach grove, Yan Ruyu took out a withered flower.

"I do not have the power of time and space, and I cannot keep what you gave me blooming forever."

Yan Ruyu spoke softly.

In fact, Yan Ruyu had made many efforts during this period, even watering the flower with some legendary divine medicines and protecting it with the power of the Demon Emperor's weapon. However, as time went by, the flower inevitably withered.

Yan Ruyu's mood also became somewhat depressed.

"It's alright, the flowers will still bloom, just as I will definitely come back."

Wang Teng waved his hand gently, and the power of time bloomed in his palm, along with the withered flower.

His relationship with Yan Ruyu was ordinary, but it was precisely this seemingly ordinary nature that allowed their relationship to progress rapidly. If one had to describe it, it might be the legendary "spiritual communion," where they connected and recognized each other from the heart rather than through physical intimacy.

Looking at the flower blooming again in her hand, Yan Ruyu smiled.

Wang Teng worried that Yan Ruyu would become depressed again when the flower withered once more, so he wanted to use his divine power to seal the flower and keep it blooming forever.

However, Yan Ruyu rejected him.

"If flowers never wither, will you come back next time you go out?"

Yan Ruyu looked up at Wang Teng and spoke softly.

PS: I'm sending you 2,000 upfront. My lease expires the day after tomorrow, but I haven't found a new place yet. I've been running around for the past two days, all day long, and I even encountered some lousy real estate agents who recommended properties that were either extremely remote or extremely far away. One of the properties was even located in a shared electric scooter service area... And the price I asked for wasn't low either.

Also, I forgot to complain about yesterday. What I wanted to complain about yesterday was the efficiency of a certain department here. Basically, they just passed the buck from one department to another, and then the department said they couldn't do it, so I had to go back to the department that was busy. After making several phone calls, I found out that the person in charge was not available, and after asking a couple of questions, they hung up the phone with a very bad attitude.

Then I consulted the department where I live now beforehand. The department here has a very good service attitude and explained things very clearly. However, if I want to handle this matter later, I still have to go back to my place of household registration. So, comparing the two, I was almost furious.

My next book is going to be anti-human!
This is inhuman!
