The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 264: Former Lovers Meet Again

The root cause of the "soul-swapping" incident is the negligence of the ghost officials in the underworld, and this matter should not be publicized.

The fat and thin ghost officials were fined for no apparent reason, and they bore a grudge against Hua Nanjin. Since Hua Nanjin had concealed the matter until now, they cast a spell to silence his soul, so that he could not shout even if he could not bear the torture in the Forgotten River.

Not many people knew about this matter, but Yue Yang was "in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han" in the mall, and he was secretly paying close attention to Yan Lan, so he stuffed five thousand ghost money into the bag and asked the soft-eared Ox-Head and Horse-Face about it.

The "Ghost Whip" was like a dragon rolling over and over on Yan Lan's body. Every whip made Yan Lan's soul suffer bone-eating pain, but she was a soul, and even if she died of pain, she could not see bones and blood.

Yan Lan was tortured, and Hei Wuchang whipped her 100 times with a "ghost whip", and 30,000 strings of ghost money were deducted from her account. From now on, Hei Wuchang will take her to the mortal world to catch "evil ghosts".

After all, Yan Lan, as the daughter of the ghost god Yama, was born half human and half ghost. Yama cast a spell to destroy her physical body, causing her to become a ghost as well.

The only difference between her and those ghosts is that she has the title of a princess of the underworld. Apart from that, she feels that she has not inherited any other special abilities of the King of Hell as a ghost.

She has a little bit of the wisdom of a "ghost or god", but it's not much. It will take a long time for her to cultivate into a ghost or god.

After the punishment, Hei Wuchang returned the "Ghost Whip" to Yan Lan and let her have a good rest for a day.

Yan Lan refused to rest. Even though her whole body felt like it was "falling apart", she still wanted to find someone.

Yueyang, the Yueyang she was thinking about all the time.

Yan Lan recalled that she always felt that someone was following her, but she didn't take it seriously before. Now she suddenly realized that the person who was secretly following her might have been arranged by Yue Yang.

For example, now, there is a ghost soldier behind Yan Lan, watching him secretly.

"come out."

Yan Lan walked staggeringly while casting a spell to capture the evil soldiers in the dark.

"Princess, spare my life..."

"Come and help me."

"Yes."

Yan Lan asked the ghost soldier to help her to the Yellow Springs Road, and in the place where the red spider lilies were most luxuriant, he conjured up a bench, and she slowly sat down.

"You...go and call the prince consort over." Yan Lan ordered.

The ghost soldiers trembled but did not move.

"Still not going?"

"Princess, the King of Hell said that there is no such thing as a 'prince consort' in the underworld, and we are forbidden to mention the word 'prince consort' again."

"No 'prince consort' anymore? Ha! Hahahahaha!" Yan Lan felt like she was going to explode with anger.

Yue Yang has returned to the underworld. Who in the underworld can stop her from being with Yue Yang?
“This princess orders you to call Yue Yang over to me! Immediately! Right now!”

"Yes……"

As soon as the ghost soldier left, Yue Yang appeared and stopped him.

He was actually secretly observing Yan Lan, and he felt very distressed when he saw her being whipped. The King of Hell had ordered him not to approach Yan Lan casually.

After hearing that "Yan Lan killed Luo Fan, causing a fire that resulted in one death and two injuries", Yue Yang felt very guilty. He felt that it was because of him and that he was the one who indirectly killed others.

When he saw Hua Nanjin's soul being taken into the Wangchuan River, he just watched from afar without going forward. In his mind, he kept appearing "those beautiful scenes of him and Lan Tian getting along together".

Things are unpredictable, and the feelings we once had cannot be faked. However, when Yue Yang thought about how everything started with "Hua Nanjin secretly exchanged souls with him", he felt uncomfortable.

……

On Huangquan Road, Yueyang looked at Yan Lan, who was sitting on a bench with red eyes, and walked towards her with heavy steps.

Yan Lan cast a domineering spell to block the ghosts around her. The spell surrounded her and Yue Yang in a secret space. There were only her and him on this road to the underworld.

“Does it hurt…” Yue Yang stopped, not daring to get too close to Yan Lan, fearing that he would rush over and hug her. “You’re so far away, but you blame me for almost killing Lan Yue?”

Yue Yang heard about this and thought that Yan Lan was wrong, but he didn't know how to respond to her at this time.

To say that he didn't blame her? That was impossible. The feelings he had with Lan Yue were genuine. Besides, "human life is of paramount importance", how could he kill someone just for his own selfishness?

Did he blame her? Everything she did was because she cared too much about him. In order to pursue him, she suffered all kinds of grievances in the mortal world. Even if she was a little willful, it was because she was spoiled as a princess of the underworld.

“Do you think she really loves you? Not long after you died, she was with another mortal.” Yan Lan saw the “reluctance” in Yue Yang’s eyes and shouted angrily: “You are not going to see me even after returning to the underworld just for her?”

“That’s not the case.” Yue Yang didn’t move, and still told Yan Lan from a distance, pretending to be calm: “When I first came back, the princess was busy dating that marriage god Li Jian. I also just experienced a life in the mortal world. What can I say to the princess when I find her?”

“I was used by Li Jian. From the beginning to the end, I, Yan Lan, only had you in my heart!” Yan Lan explained anxiously, and tentatively asked Yue Yang: “What about you? You were also forced to do that mortal Lan Yue, right?”

"No."

After Yue Yang said this, seeing Yan Lan, who had not shed a single tear even when being tortured with “one hundred lashes”, she actually shed tears at this moment.

He was very conflicted. He felt sorry for Yan Lan and wanted to hug her and comfort her. But he couldn't move his feet. They seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't lift them. He didn't know if he was angry about "Yan Lan killing people at will" or worried about the "warning" from the King of Hell when he returned to the underworld.

Yue Yang still spoke insincerely: "In this life on earth, I am just a mortal. I don't remember the princess, but I also fell in love with Lan Yue sincerely. Yue Yang knows that I have failed the princess's heart, and I hope the princess... can find a good match again."

"You mean... you don't want to be a princess consort anymore?" Yan Lan asked with a sneer, tears streaming down her face again.

Yue Yang frowned, secretly clenched his hands, and replied, "Yes."

Suddenly, Yan Lan raised her "Ghost Whip" and whipped Yue Yang hard, cursing: "Asshole!"

Yue Yang remained motionless and endured the whipping. He said calmly, “Princess, if you have nothing else to do, I will leave first.”

Yan Lan's mind was filled with the sweet moments she and Yue Yang had shared. Suddenly, those moments turned into intimate scenes of Yue Yang and Lan Yue, their wedding in the mortal world... their children...

"I disagree."

Yan Lan shouted angrily, then swung her "Ghost Whip" to pull Yue Yang far away. Without giving Yue Yang time to react, she grabbed his collar and kissed him fiercely on the lips.

After more than ten years...

Finally again...

After Yan Lan's action, Yue Yang's whole body was numb and he couldn't move. He let her kiss him like a piece of wood for about ten minutes before she bit his lips in frustration and let him go.

Yue Yang's lack of response made Yan Lan's anger spread throughout her body, exceeding the "pain" of being tortured.

"You still love Lan Yue...right?" Yan Lan asked self-deprecatingly.

Yue Yang didn't say anything.

"Even if she has a new lover, even if the child you had with her died long ago, you still can't forget her... Is that right? You're not going to be a royal consort for her. Is the relationship you've had with me for nearly three hundred years really not as good as the ten years you've been with her?"

Yue Yang was thinking about the unborn child...

Of course, Yue Yang also had feelings for Lan Yue, and he also hoped that she would have a companion and live a better life. That child was the one that really hurt Yue Yang's heart, and he couldn't let it go for a long time.

He deceives himself every day into thinking that "it's over", but in fact it's not over.

Yue Yang didn't want to argue with Yan Lan, so he turned around and was about to leave.

“Yueyang!” Yan Lan shouted angrily at Yueyang’s back, “If you dare not become a consort, I will kill Lan Yue!”

Yue Yang was stunned and looked back at Yan Lan. He couldn't believe that she really didn't take people's lives seriously.

“Princess.” Yue Yang bowed to Yan Lan respectfully and said softly, “On the day I returned to the underworld, I could have been reincarnated normally, but I chose to stay in the underworld. My feelings for the princess are true, and my feelings for Lan Yue are also true, so I feel so painful. I am trying to let go of Lan Yue, and I hope the princess will give me more time. If the princess insists on killing innocent people, then I will reincarnate again and will definitely not have any involvement with the princess anymore.”
