With a smile, she pushed Hua Cheng, who was almost suffocating, off her body.
The tide of passion had not yet subsided.
Xie Lian suddenly thought of something and casually said, "By the way, San Lang, Myriad God Cave …"
Hua Cheng's arm was on his chest again, and he didn't know what he was playing with.
He said lazily, "Hm? What's wrong with Myriad God Cave? "
Xie Lian said, "It's nothing.
It just occurred to me.
With the bronze cauldron erupting, will the God Statues in Myriad God Cave be alright? "
If that was the case,
That would be such a pity. After all, every single statue was the work of Hua Cheng's painstaking efforts.
He loved them all. Hua Cheng replied, "I won't. I've already set up a boundary. Even if the entire cauldron collapses, nothing will happen to that stone cave. "
Xie Lian's interest was aroused.
"Is that so? That's great.
Then it must be fine. Can I go and have a look? "
Hua Cheng seemed to freeze for a moment.
But then he smiled and said, "Alright. If Big Brother wants to see it, he can see it. What's wrong with that? "
Xie Lian became even more excited.
"Then tomorrow it is. Anyway, the bronze furnace is already open, you can go in at any time. "
Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow.
He said, "Tomorrow? Alright. "
He did not object.
He didn't say much, but in the next moment, he flipped over again.
He did not know if it was an illusion.
In the latter half of the night, Flower City tormented him even more fiercely. Not even two rounds had passed before Xie Lian was forced to call for his older brother to save him. Afterwards, he drowsily fell asleep.
Originally, he could have slept peacefully until daybreak, but after less than two hours, Xie Lian felt his body lighten. When he opened his eyes to take a look, the person had already disappeared.
Xie Lian was startled. His drowsiness completely dispersed, and he immediately sat up.
After casually cleaning up, he slowly got off the bed and pushed open the door, thinking, "Where did San Lang go?"
This was the first time he had disappeared in the middle of the night. He circled around the Blissful Workshop but didn't see anyone. Remembering that there was a room in the Blissful Workshop that was used for teleportation, he went over to take a look. Sure enough, the door of the room had been opened.
He remembered that the array on the door was not drawn like this last time. At this moment, the cinnabar on the new array on the door had yet to dry. Xie Lian pushed the door open without hesitation. When he came out again, it was no longer the Bliss Workshop outside the door, but pitch-black darkness.
Xie Lian closed the door and raised a palm flame to illuminate the surroundings. Seeing the scene in front of him, he could not help but be stunned.
The place where the Earth Shrinking Thousand Li Formation led to was actually a huge, gloomy cave.
Myriad Gods Cave!
Why did Hua Cheng come to Myriad Gods Cave alone in the middle of the night? Didn't they agree to come together tomorrow? Why did he come here tonight?
Shaking his head, Xie Lian slowly walked in the cool cave with the flame in his hand.
The sound of footsteps reverberated in the air. The veils covering the faces of those deities were taken off. In the darkness all around, there were countless faces that looked exactly the same as him silently. Just thinking about this scene was a little terrifying. As Xie Lian passed by a grotto, he casually swept his eyes over it. Inside the grotto was a statue of the Crown Prince, Yue Shen. His facial features were gentle, and he held a flower in his hand while holding a sword. His posture was graceful.
There were as many as a thousand statues here, and as few as a hundred statues. Who knew how much time and effort it took to carve them? Who knew how many years they had been silent in the darkness for?
Thinking about this, Xie Lian sighed. Facing the stone statue, he slightly bowed his head and muttered, "It must be very lonely."
He was talking about the person who carved the statue, but also the statue.
That Crown Prince Yue Shen nodded.
Xie Lian: "… …"
This was too scary.
After being stunned for a while, Xie Lian finally realized what was going on. So that was how it was. It was most likely because he had just replenished his mana. Right now, his entire body was full of energy. Just standing there had affected these statues, causing them to move.
Xie Lian hurriedly retracted his mana, but it was already too late. That Crown Prince Yue Shen statue had already taken a step forward. Because Xie Lian's overflowing mana had infected it, but he hadn't been seriously controlling it, its movements were a little clumsy. With a thud, it fell to the ground.
Xie Lian hurriedly helped it up and said, "Be careful!"
That Crown Prince Yue Shen statue was helped up by him. The smile on its face didn't change, and it even slightly raised its head. With a noble and arrogant expression, it nodded towards him to express its gratitude. Seeing its arrogant appearance, Xie Lian couldn't help but find it funny. Enduring it, he asked, "Did you see Hua Cheng?"
The Crown Prince Yue Shen statue could make simple sounds, but it couldn't speak. Unless it was the Lotus Tongue God that specialized in speech. When that Crown Prince Yue Shen statue heard his question, it revealed a puzzled expression, as if it didn't know who he was talking about. Xie Lian understood. At this time, he still didn't recognize Hua Cheng. Thus, he changed his words and asked, "Then did you see a red-clothed person?"
Only then did that Crown Prince Yue Shen statue reveal a smile and reservedly nod its head. Xie Lian asked, "Do you know where he went?"
This was such a large cave, and he wasn't familiar with it, so he was afraid of getting lost. That Crown Prince Yue Shen statue muttered to itself for a moment before pointing him in a direction. Xie Lian said, "Many thanks, Your Highness."
After walking for a while, he turned around. That Crown Prince Yue Shen statue had already grasped the essentials of how to walk. It was even brandishing its sword in place. Its graceful posture made it seem as if it was standing on top of the Upper Yuan Sacrificial Heaven.
Unfortunately, there was no one to admire it.
Not long after, Xie Lian once again encountered a fork in the road. Naturally, he was prepared to ask his own Crown Prince Yue Shen statue for help, so he walked into the nearest cave. As soon as he entered, he saw a figure sitting on a stone platform. The figure was currently hugging a jar of wine and fiercely gulping it down.
Xie Lian: "… …"
He immediately went up and snatched the wine away. "Don't drink anymore!"
That Crown Prince Yue Shen statue was also him. However, his appearance was slightly thinner, and his simple white clothes were no longer luxurious. The wine jar was snatched away by Xie Lian. It wanted to snatch it back, but in its daze, it couldn't snatch it away. It was so angry that it spun around in circles. Suddenly, it hugged Xie Lian and started sobbing.
Xie Lian was dumbstruck. "You don't have to cry … …"
That Crown Prince Yue Shen statue cried even more fiercely, as if it had endless grievances. It didn't even try to snatch the wine anymore. It just hugged Xie Lian and refused to let go. Xie Lian didn't know why he was so clingy when he was drunk. He could only hug it back, gently caressing its back and comforting it. "Alright, alright … …"
He looked at the 'wine jar' in his hand again. There wasn't any wine in it, so it didn't matter if he returned it. Xie Lian said, "Did you see a red-clothed person? Where did he go? "
That Crown Prince Yue Shen statue showed him a path. Xie Lian returned the wine jar to it and continued walking forward. That Crown Prince Yue Shen statue stopped crying. It hugged the wine jar and sat on the ground.
Xie Lian turned around to look at it. He sighed and continued walking forward.
After a while, he heard creaking sounds as if iron chains were rubbing against each other. He arrived in front of an empty grotto.
There was a swing hanging down from the ceiling of the grotto. On the swing sat a Crown Prince Yue Shen statue. He was in high spirits and was full of youthfulness. He was wearing the Daoist robe of a disciple of the Huang Ji Temple. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He grabbed the chain of the swing and tried his best to swing it. But because he was sitting on the swing, he couldn't swing it no matter how hard he tried. Thus, he revealed an annoyed expression. Seeing this, Xie Lian helped him push it a few times.
The swing finally flew. Only then did the Crown Prince Yue Shen statue in Daoist robe become happy. Xie Lian took the opportunity to ask, "Did you see a red-clothed person? Where did he go? "
That Crown Prince Yue Shen statue grabbed the swing with one hand and pointed in a direction with the other. Xie Lian pushed him a few more times and said, "Goodbye."
But after the swing swung more than ten times, it slowly stopped. No one pushed it anymore. That Crown Prince Yue Shen statue sat there in a daze, revealing an annoyed expression again.
After walking for a long time, Xie Lian estimated, "We should be there by now, right?"
At this time, he suddenly heard a suppressed and painful sound. He couldn't help but be stunned, "What's that sound? … Panting? "
That sound came from a grotto in front of him. Xie Lian walked in to take a look. There was a stone platform in the grotto. On the platform, there seemed to be a reclining Crown Prince Yue Shen statue. A white veil covered the ground from head to toe. The figure under the veil was vague. Sometimes it curled up into a ball, sometimes it tossed and turned, as if someone was suffering and struggling underneath.
"…"
Xie Lian was about to pull down the white veil. Suddenly, a hand covered his eyes from behind. A low voice came from behind and sighed, "Brother."
Xie Lian laughed and said gently, "San Lang, do you think I won't know what this is if you don't show it to me?"
After a long time, Hua Cheng sighed again and said, "Brother, I was wrong."
Xie Lian removed his hand and turned around to ask, "Home of tenderness?"
Standing behind him was a tall man dressed in red. Sure enough, it was Hua Cheng.
Having been caught red-handed, he supported his forehead with one hand and finally admitted, "… Yes."
No wonder. No wonder Hua Cheng was unwilling to let him see it. Xie Lian said, "You came here tonight to hide this Crown Prince Yue Shen statue, right?"
Hua Cheng looked elsewhere and said, "Yes."
Xie Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was he that afraid to let him see this Crown Prince Yue Shen statue?
He said, "Why should I hide it? Actually, it's not a big deal. But now, a very thorny problem has appeared … "
That thorny problem was that after Xie Lian came, he inadvertently caused all the Crown Prince Yue Shen statues to move.
This originally wasn't a big deal, but for this special Crown Prince Yue Shen statue, it was very painful. That was because the Crown Prince Yue Shen statue was the one carved under the veil of tenderness when he was seventeen years old in a cave in a barren mountain.
The other Crown Prince Yue Shen statues were either practicing swordplay, drinking wine, swinging on a swing, or doing anything else. Only this statue was very unlucky. It had been poisoned by the deadly flower demon's poison. As a result, after it 'came back to life', it had to endure the torture of this poison.
Xie Lian couldn't bear to hear the painful gasps coming from under the veil. He then thought of that soul-stirring and engraved night and said, "… This is too pitiful. If I leave now, will it turn back into a stone statue? "
That way, he wouldn't have to suffer this torture. However, Hua Cheng said, "I'm afraid not. After all, Brother is at your strongest right now. All the Crown Prince Yue Shen statues in the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods have been affected by you. Even if you leave, they will continue acting up for a long time. "
That would be too painful. Xie Lian said, "Then … Is there any other way?"
Hua Cheng would always have a way. He nodded slightly and said, "Just now, I was dealing with this. Brother, follow me. "
He led Xie Lian into another cave. As soon as he entered, Xie Lian slightly widened his eyes. He saw a male stone statue standing in the middle of the cave. The statue was tall and slender, with handsome features. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his right eye was covered with an eyepatch. It looked almost identical to the red-clothed man who led the way.
It was actually the statue of a Ghost King!
Xie Lian said, "This is …"
Hua Cheng said, "This is something I hurriedly carved after I realized the situation wasn't right. I haven't moved it for many years, so I'm a bit rusty. Brother, take a look. Does it look like it? "
Xie Lian carefully looked at it for a while and said, "It looks very similar! However … "
Hua Cheng said, "However … how is it?"
Xie Lian smiled and said, "It's not as good looking as you."
Hua Cheng also smiled.
Immediately after, Xie Lian said, "So, San Lang, the method you mentioned is …"
Was it to let this Ghost King statue 'detoxify' the Crown Prince Yue Shen statue?
After a moment of silence, Hua Cheng restrained his smile and straightened his expression. He stared at Xie Lian's face and said, "Yes."
Xie Lian didn't notice the cautious look on his face at first. In his heart, he thought, "This method is too …"
Although it was indeed a method to cure the root of the problem and produce immediate results, just thinking about it made him feel that it was extremely preposterous. To put it bluntly, wasn't it just using a Ghost King statue to break the young Crown Prince Yue Shen statue's body and suppress the poison?
He really found it hard to even talk about it!
He still didn't know how to respond when Hua Cheng suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of him. Xie Lian was startled and hurriedly pulled him up. He said, "San Lang?" What are you doing?
Hua Cheng said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I was disrespectful."
Xie Lian couldn't pull him up, so he also knelt down. Puzzled, he asked, "Why were you disrespectful?"
Hua Cheng stared at him and took a light breath. In a low voice, he said, "Your Highness, please believe me. Today, I had no choice but to use this method. Although I personally carved this Crown Prince Yue Shen statue, I have never shown the slightest bit of disrespect to Your Highness's Crown Prince Yue Shen statue. If Your Highness feels that this method is inappropriate, I will find another method. "
Xie Lian finally understood why Hua Cheng had suddenly become so serious.
Ultimately, Hua Cheng had always been worried that Xie Lian would feel that his actions were rude and offensive, and that his actions were strange. He had carved so many statues of Xie Lian's God in private. Now that he had brought up this method, he was afraid that Xie Lian would feel that his brain was filled with wild thoughts and that his thoughts were disrespectful.
Xie Lian smiled and sighed. With both hands, he grabbed Hua Cheng and finally pulled him up from the ground. He said, "Of course I believe you. I know that you have always respected me. "
However, "never showed the slightest bit of disrespect", this was hard to say. After all, if one were to be a bit more strict, ever since Hua Cheng had transformed into a butterfly and returned, he would go to the Thousand Lanterns Monastery every few days to 'defile' the Crown Prince Yue Shen.
Xie Lian coughed lightly and said, "I feel that this method … isn't bad at all. Very good, very good. "
However, when he thought about the essence of this method, his face slightly heated up. He felt that these words were a bit too unreserved. Hua Cheng, who had received his permission, gradually regained his composure. Xie Lian placed his hand on the Ghost King statue's shoulder and said, "Shall I open the light for this God statue?"
Hua Cheng blinked and slowly smiled. "If Brother is willing, then I can't ask for more."
Xie Lian nodded. In a flash, the God statue lightly raised its eyebrows. Seeing this, Xie Lian couldn't help but smile. He retracted his hand and said, "This is too similar!"
He didn't know if they had sensed something, but a few silhouettes slowly walked in from outside the grotto. Unexpectedly, there were several God statues that curiously surrounded them. They seemed to want to take a closer look at this new God statue that was completely different from them. The Ghost King statue also saw them. It blinked its eyes and raised its eyebrows even higher. It was unknown what it was thinking, but it also seemed to be looking for something. Xie Lian coaxed and chased them away. With great difficulty, he pushed away the group of God statues. Who knew that with the corner of his eye, he would suddenly say, "Where's the gentle home?"
He had already directly used this to refer to that unlucky God statue. At some point, only a white muslin remained on the stone platform. That gentle home statue had actually disappeared without a trace!
Xie Lian cursed in his heart. Hua Cheng, who walked in with his hands behind his back, also raised his eyebrows. Xie Lian said, "The Cave of Ten Thousand Deities is very big. It shouldn't be able to escape in a short time. Let's hurry and find it!"
However, Hua Cheng said, "I'm afraid not. Brother, look. "
He pointed at the ground. Xie Lian circled around to take a look. Only then did he discover that there was actually a circular formation on the ground. It was drawn directly on the rock by an extremely powerful finger force.
The Earth Shrinking Formation! Just how much of his spiritual energy did this God statue absorb for it to be able to draw a Earth Shrinking Formation with its bare hands?! Xie Lian wanted to fall to the ground on the spot.
That God statue was the one who had fallen into the gentle home state. What would happen if it escaped and bumped into a mortal woman? In the future, what kind of strange legends would be attached to it???
He asked, "When did it escape? Where could it run off to? "
Hua Cheng said, "Brother, don't be anxious. Think about it first. If you fell into the gentle home state at that time, who would you first think of looking for?"
This wasn't hard to think about. Xie Lian wasn't too anxious at first. He quickly calmed down and said, "I would probably look for … …"
Before he could finish speaking, a spirit suddenly rushed over. Xie Lian was caught unprepared. He raised his hand in response and heard Feng Xin's voice ring in his ear, "Your Highness! What the hell! There was a monster pretending to be you just now! "
… … As expected! At that time, Xie Lian's most capable assistants were Feng Xin and Mu Qing. Since something like this happened, he would naturally look for them first!
Fortunately, he first looked for Feng Xin and didn't run wildly through the streets. Xie Lian let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "No, no! That wasn't a monster, and it wasn't pretending to be me. "
Feng Xin was shocked. "What do you mean??? It wasn't a monster, and it wasn't pretending? Don't tell me that was your original body??? It can't be! "
Xie Lian said, "It wasn't! Alright, how is it now? Did you catch it? Don't let it escape! "
However, Feng Xin said, "It's too late, it already escaped!"
Xie Lian said, "What? This is bad! "
Feng Xin said, "Yes, this is bad. Running around naked and letting people see it, how is that appropriate?! "
Xie Lian said, "Wait, what did you say? Naked? I … … no, it wasn't wearing any clothes??? "
Feng Xin said, "More or less! It was wearing something, but not much. It was so tattered that it looked like it was torn apart by someone. Right, if that wasn't a monster or pretending to be me, then what was it? In the end, what's going on? I think it looks like a statue of a god … … wait, a statue of a god? "Feng Xin was greatly shocked." It couldn't have run out from that place under the copper furnace, right? What are you guys doing??? "
Xie Lian also couldn't remember how many clothes he had worn back in that warm and gentle place. At that time, he was extremely uncomfortable, so he probably tore them himself in a daze. He said, "I'll explain later! I'll go up immediately! "
After he finished speaking, he disconnected the communication and said to Hua Cheng, "San Lang, we need to make a trip to the New Immortal Capital!"
On the other side, Hua Cheng had already put away the newly carved Ghost King statue, turning it into a small statue of a god that could stand in the palm of his hand. He said, "Okay!" and quickly drew an array. Not long after, the two of them directly killed their way to the New Immortal Capital's Nan Yang Palace Hall. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Feng Xin. When he saw Hua Cheng, his eyes widened. "Blood Rain Tanhua? Why are you here too? What are you doing in the sky?! " A Ghost King in a Desperate Situation didn't just stay in his own territory all day, but instead came to the Immortal Capital whenever he wanted. This was too outrageous!
Hua Cheng ignored him and listened for a moment before saying, "It's a report. The Heavenly Court wouldn't go back on their word, right? "
Feng Xin naturally knew what report Hua Cheng was talking about. Wasn't it the report 'The Heavenly Court must report the heroic deeds of Blood Rain Tanhua saving the immortals and gods for a whole year'? The veins on his forehead bulged as he said, "Why are you reporting in the middle of the night! Everyone also needs to rest, so the report will only be made during the day! "
Only then did Hua Cheng let out an "oh", probably indicating that he wouldn't pursue the matter. Xie Lian said, "Ah, whatever! Get to the point, where is the 'me' you saw? Where did it run off to? "
Feng Xin pointed in a direction and said, "It ran off in that direction. I was just about to chase after it when you guys came up!"
Xie Lian suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He said, "Let me ask, that direction, could it be … …"
Feng Xin straightforwardly said, "The direction of Xuan Zhen Palace Hall."
Xie Lian: "… …"
Hua Cheng said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
The two of them didn't dare to delay and hurriedly rushed to Xuan Zhen Palace Hall. They broke open the door and rushed inside. When they rushed in to take a look, they saw Mu Qing sitting on the altar. It was as if he had just seen something inconceivable. His entire person was stunned. Xie Lian went up and waved his hand in front of his eyes. "Mu Qing?"
When he saw Xie Lian, he finally came back to his senses. However, his expression was still shocked. After a long time, he finally said, "Xie Lian, what are you doing?"
Xie Lian: "… … What am I doing? I … … I don't know what I did either. Please tell me. "
Mu Qing still stared at him and said, "Just now, why did you run into my palace hall in such a disheveled manner in the middle of the night???"
"… …" Hua Cheng narrowed his eyes. Xie Lian said, "Don't let people misunderstand your words! No matter what you saw just now, in any case, it definitely wasn't me! "
Mu Qing covered half of his face, as if he wanted to dig out what he just saw from his eyes. With an ashen expression, he said, "Even if it wasn't you, it still has to do with you! It's the statue of God in that grotto, right? What are you guys doing? Letting that kind of indecent statue of God run around in the middle of the night. You and Blood Rain Tanhua don't need to play like this, right?! "
Hua Cheng sneered. "What does it have to do with you?"
Mu Qing angrily said, "What do you mean it has to do with me? This is my palace hall!"
Hua Cheng unhurriedly said, "I also have a part in rebuilding the Immortal Capital."
"… …"
In reality, because the Heavenly Court's vitality had been greatly damaged, many Heavenly Officials had no choice but to secretly ask the master of the Ghost City for help. Thinking about it, the new Immortal Capital's construction couldn't have been without Hua Cheng. Xie Lian said, "We weren't playing around. This was an accident. Where is it now? "
Mu Qing said, "It stole a sword from me and ran to … …"
Without needing him to continue, Xie Lian already knew where to go. In the garden at the side of the Xuan Zhen Palace Hall, clanging sounds could be heard. At the same time, the small statue of the Ghost King that Hua Cheng was carrying also fell down by itself. Hopping and hopping, it jumped in the direction of the garden.
Xie Lian immediately rushed out. Sure enough, that gentle and gentle statue was standing on top of the rockery in the garden!
That statue of God's clothes were untidy, revealing most of its smooth shoulders and chest. Its undergarments were also faintly discernible, making it look very ambiguous. As for the statue of God's face, it was even more exquisite. The brows on that face were tightly furrowed, and it was as if one could see the redness of the skin and the thin layer of sweat. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a work of the gods. And right now, it was holding the sword it had stolen from the Xuan Zhen Palace Hall. Clang clang, clang clang! It tried to stab itself with the sword again and again. Naturally, it wanted to do what Xie Lian had done in the past, injuring itself to detoxify the poison.
However, because the stone refined from the copper furnace was formidable, the sword couldn't stab itself no matter how hard it tried. Instead, it bent. It seemed to be in despair. Raising its palm, it looked as if it was about to smash its own head into pieces. Xie Lian hurriedly shouted, "Calm down! Calm down! "
That statue of God gazed at him with misty eyes. Xie Lian flew over and struck the statue with his palm, causing it to fall off the rockery. It lay in a cave, unable to stand up. Meanwhile, Hua Cheng flashed to Xie Lian's side and threw something down.
It was that Ghost King statue!
Rather than saying that the Ghost King statue was thrown down by Hua Cheng, it would be more accurate to say that it had struggled free after seeing that young statue of God. As soon as it left Hua Cheng's palm, it returned to its original slender figure in the air. Falling down, it covered the statue's body. A startled gasp could be heard from below. Xie Lian hurriedly jumped off the rockery and pushed Mu Qing, who had rushed over after hearing the sound, into the Xuan Zhen Palace Hall. He said, "It's too late! I'm sorry, I need to borrow this precious place for a while! "
Mu Qing was shocked. "What did you guys just do?"
Xie Lian said, "I'll explain it later. I'm extremely sorry!"
Hua Cheng leisurely said, "What's there to be sorry about? How many times has this person's life been saved by you? "
Mu Qing said, "No, you should explain it clearly right now. I think I saw you throw one of you down, and he threw another of him down. I didn't see wrong, right? So what were you guys doing? What's happening in that rockery right now? "
Xie Lian was just short of grabbing him by the neck and dragging him into the palace hall. "It's extremely urgent! Really, Mu Qing, don't go over! Why are you doing this?! "
Mu Qing roared, "Xie Lian!!! What are you guys doing in my palace hall? I'm f * cking, I'm really f * cking! "
"That wasn't us! This was just an accident, it's really too late … … Also, you're using the wrong words again! "
·
Two hours later, the two statues of God finally used up all of the mana they had absorbed from Xie Lian and Hua Cheng's bodies.
After entering the rockery to take a look, Xie Lian supported his forehead with his hand.
While Hua Cheng dealt with the statues of God, Xie Lian silently went out to stop Feng Xin and Mu Qing, who wanted to come over and see what was going on. He sincerely said, "You guys won't want to see this."
Feng Xin wasn't a curious person to begin with. He had a bad premonition and wisely retreated. However, Mu Qing was unable to let it go. His face was as black as the bottom of an old pot. Frantically swinging his sleeves, he frantically muttered, "I simply can't believe it … … I simply can't believe it! Something like this actually happened! Something like this actually happened in my palace hall! " Then he floated out like a ghost, probably unable to look directly at the rockery in his palace hall ever again. Xie Lian very much suspected that he would split this place apart with a palm strike.
In truth, Xie Lian himself didn't dare to believe that such a ridiculous accident would occur. He really didn't know if he should feel embarrassed or not. Turning back to look at the two — — no, it should be "one" statue, he said, "They … … are they just like this?"
Hua Cheng said, "Just like this. They can't be separated anyways. "
Xie Lian covered his face.
What kind of divine official's statue would be like this! What would happen if someone saw it? This was too improper, truly preposterous!
He moaned, "… … San Lang, hide them … … well. Don't let anyone see them. "
Hua Cheng smiled. "Of course. Don't worry, Big Brother. "
After bringing the two combined statues back to Myriad Gods Cave, Xie Lian wiped the sweat off his forehead when he finally returned to his original position.
Meanwhile, the other statues of Xie Lian in Myriad Gods Cave once again surrounded him out of curiosity, but Xie Lian coaxed them away. "Don't look at indecent things, don't look at indecent things."
Left with no choice, they could only leave. Although they didn't see the final form of the statue with their own eyes, they kept looking back as they walked, as if they were envious that the gentle "Xie Lian" finally had a "partner."
The poison of gentleness had been cured, but the other statues still lacked a sense of perfection. The crown prince had no one to admire him, no one to help him up when he was drunk, no one to send him on a swing … …
Xie Lian couldn't help but be greedy, thinking, If only every Xie Lian could have a Hua Cheng.
Unexpectedly, Hua Cheng said the same thing. "Brother, don't you think it'd be better if every prince had a San Lang?"
The two hit it off and immediately stayed in Myriad Gods Cave to show off their skills.
Not long after, Xie Lian witnessed the entire process of Hua Cheng transforming a heavy boulder into a nimble and exquisite statue. That skill was indescribable, because it was so fast that he couldn't even see how Hua Cheng did it. Thinking about it, Hua Cheng must have already integrated the technique into his spells. He could only sigh in admiration.
In short, Hua Cheng turned around and picked up a newly sculpted child from the rubble on the ground. Its hair was a mess, its clothes were ragged, and its face was wrapped in bandages. It looked pitiful, and it was holding something in its palms. Xie Lian placed his hand on the child's head and blessed it, while Hua Cheng gave it some magic power. After a while, it blinked its eyes and turned around to look around. When it saw someone grabbing the back of its collar, it gave it a ruthless kick.
Hua Cheng seemed to have expected it to do this, so he easily dodged it and held it in his hand, letting it struggle and kick. Xie Lian didn't expect Little Hua Cheng to be so fierce, and laughed. "Sigh, so fierce!"
Hua Cheng clicked his tongue and tossed it away. The child fell to the ground with a thud, but it quickly got up and stared at Hua Cheng with a fierce gaze. Xie Lian was worried that it fell too hard, so he stretched out his hand and said, "San Lang, you threw it too hard! Be careful that you don't break it. "If he were to really count, this child should have just been born!
Hua Cheng said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, it's very tenacious."
The little boy was incomparably fierce towards Hua Cheng, but he was very friendly towards Xie Lian. Seeing Xie Lian waving at him, he was about to walk over. At this moment, the statue of Crown Prince Yue Shen seemed to have sensed something. It walked down from its position and looked over.
When the child saw the Crown Prince Yue Shen statue, it was stunned. One of its eyes that was not covered by the bandages widened, and it ran over, as if it wanted to grab him and pounce on his clothes, but it didn't dare to get close for fear of dirtying the god's robe. After a long time, it carefully stretched out its hand and opened the palm that it refused to let go.
It turned out that what was hidden in his palm was a small flower.
The Crown Prince Yue Shen statue took the flower, smiled slightly, and stretched out its hand to pick him up. The two of them happily left together. It looked like one had finally found someone who could admire his sword dance, and one had finally found someone who could offer flowers to him.
Xie Lian looked at it and was quite gratified. Suddenly, he thought of another question and said, "San Lang, when you finish carving, won't there be many statues of you and me in Myriad Deities Cave? Will they recognize each other wrongly? After all, there are many that look the same. "
But Hua Cheng said with a smile, "They won't."
"Why?"
Hua Cheng repeated himself, "I won't."
He looked up at Xie Lian, smiled slightly, and said, "Even if 'His Highness' makes a mistake, 'I' won't make a mistake. Because a Hua Cheng will always be a believer of only one His Highness, loyal to only one person. So, I will never. "
Xie Lian also stared at him, and blurted out, "I won't make a mistake either. Xie Lian's most loyal believer will always only have one, and 'I' will always remember it. I … "
After saying this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Right now, they were like two little children, making a fervent promise to each other that "the one I like the most will always be you, and only you." Although sincere, it was very childish.
Although childish, it was very sincere.
After a moment of silence, Xie Lian coughed lightly and said, "Then … next, let's help the Crown Prince carve a Ghost King who pushes the swing."
With no one to help it push the swing, it looked very lonely and distressed. Hua Cheng happily said, "Okay."
Xie Lian asked again, "What about the drinking one? This one is a bit of a headache. It seems to be muddle-headed and can even cry. Sigh, there are too many statues here. I wonder when we can finish carving them one by one? "
Hua Cheng smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Take your time, you will meet them eventually. "
Xie Lian also smiled and nodded, and said softly, "Yes, we will definitely meet them."
Inside the grotto, the two stone statues, which were originally independent, had now become one.
