Yan Ruyu was truly at a loss whether to laugh or cry now.
When he was summoned by the Red Lotus, Yan Ruyu was in a meeting with the elders and protectors in the sect.
Later, feeling the fluctuation of the Red Lotus, he worried that little Ningning might be in danger on the way here, so he rushed over immediately.
But looking at her current state, this little girl was obviously having a wet dream, wasn't she?
Zhao Shuning tightly wrapped her hands around Yan Ruyu's neck and then gave him a big kiss.
After the kiss, she licked her lips with a special flavor and laughed coquettishly.
Yan Ruyu was tickled by her action.
However, unfortunately, Zhao Shuning thought she was just dreaming at the moment.
"Hahaha, I knew it must be a dream. In reality, how could Master let me kiss him?"
After saying that, Yan Ruyu's ever - unchanged face actually blushed slightly because of this sentence. This look was really a rare sight. The more one looked, the more endearing it was.
So Zhao Shuning was not polite. She exerted force and kissed him again.
At this time, Yan Ruyu stopped blushing. He smiled.
He actually smiled.
"Ahhhh, Master is smiling. You're not Master, right? If Master knew I did such a shameless thing, he wouldn't smile at me. Wuwu — I must be dreaming."
Saying that, Zhao Shuning lay on Yan Ruyu's chest, sobbed symbolically a few times, and then fell asleep.
Looking at the little figure on his chest, Yan Ruyu's smile was so gentle.
He gently raised his hand, and the Red Lotus slowly closed its petals, wrapping them inside.
And Zhao Shuning just lay in Yan Ruyu's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
"What should I do with you, little girl?"
Yan Ruyu didn't move and just lay on the Red Lotus in the direction it was floating.
Too many things had happened in this plane.
Sometimes Yan Ruyu would even wonder what he came to this plane for.
Was it for the eternal loneliness?
Or for being the millennium imperial teacher praised by the common people?
Or for the Feng royal family that people feared to talk about?
Even Yan Ruyu didn't know when he had fallen in love with Ye Ling, because there were simply too many moments when she healed him.
She would obediently hold the purple ball and say, "Master, you eat. After you eat, you have to be responsible for me."
After getting injured, she would tightly cover the wound so that no one, not even him, could find it. Only after the wound had healed and scarred, when Yan Ruyu saw it, would she say that she accidentally cut herself and it was nothing serious.
Or, although she was inferior to Yan Ruyu in every aspect, she always worried about his safety. Whenever Yan Ruyu was a little unwell, Ye Ling would be more uncomfortable than him and would run around for him.
Yan Ruyu didn't know when exactly or because of which specific thing he had fallen in love with Ye Ling. He only knew that during those more than ten years accompanied by Ye Ling, his life was more interesting than before.
So once, Ye Ling joked, "Master, when I'm twenty - two and have managed the East Ze Wilderness in good order, will you marry me, okay?"
Then, Yan Ruyu was silent for a long time. Just when Ye Ling was about to find another topic to change the subject, Yan Ruyu softly replied, "Okay."
After this, he didn't know if Ye Ling took it seriously, but Yan Ruyu did.
He thought he had only agreed to Ye Ling's unreasonable request on a whim.
It was not until that night when the snow was falling heavily and Yan Ruyu picked up Ye Ling's body from the high platform that he realized that what he said at that time was not a joke. He really had her in his heart and really wanted to marry her.
Moreover, for the first time because of Ye Ling, Yan Ruyu had the thought of destroying the entire East Ze Wilderness.
You should know that Yan Ruyu was the creator of the Nine - Continent Continent in this plane. He should have been high - above and brought blessings to all the people, but he actually had such a dangerous thought. It was really extremely terrifying.
"Little Ning'er, you can sleep in peace."
After Yan Ruyu gave the Karma Fire Red Lotus to Zhao Shuning, he didn't have to worry about her life and death.
Even if one day Zhao Shuning met an invincible opponent, the Red Lotus would preserve her last glimmer of life at the last moment.
Zhao Shuning turned over. Yan Ruyu slightly opened his hands, and she rolled out of his arms.
Yan Ruyu got up and walked out of the Red Lotus. Standing outside the Red Lotus, he smiled slightly and then disappeared.
When he returned to the sect meeting again, the protectors and elders all looked serious.
"Imperial Lord, is there a big problem?"
"Imperial Lord, your clothes are a bit disheveled. Is it that the Ghost Domain has made new moves?"
"Imperial Lord, what happened just now? Do we need to send troops there?"
Yan Ruyu shook his head and sat back in his seat.
In this meeting, Zhao Huai was also present as a specially permitted person.
Among all the students, he should be the most special one, because only Zhao Huai had the privilege of seeing the Imperial Lord up close and even talking to him.
At this moment, the young man in white was still as gentle as before.
Yan Ruyu said, "It's nothing. Let's continue."
Recently, the Ghost Domain had been very active. It must be looking for someone in the Nine - Continent Continent. Yan Ruyu had found people from the Ghost Domain in different places several times.
They were all dead - soldiers. As soon as he wanted to interrogate them, they would be quickly strangled by the animals they carried.
If the people from the Ghost Domain only appeared in the East Ze Wilderness, Yan Ruyu wouldn't be so worried.
"If necessary, I will go to the Ghost Domain myself."
The Ghost Domain was located on a gloomy island outside the Nine - Continent Continent. It was surrounded by water. Only extraordinary people could cross the mountains and waters.
Because there were ancient fierce beasts guarding the water.
The reason why Yan Ruyu had never set foot in the Ghost Domain before was that Bai Ze, the king of all beasts and an ancient divine beast, had signed a non - aggression treaty with the fierce beasts in the Ghost Domain.
But if they didn't abide by the rules, the treaty would no longer be valid.
Moreover, this was not the only strange thing that Yan Ruyu had noticed.
Previously, when he was in the Qingyun Kingdom, he had seen a shooting star across the sky. The direction where the shooting star fell was exactly the direction of the Ghost Domain.
"Imperial Lord, do you want Zhao Huai to accompany you?"
Hearing this, Zhao Huai raised his head, and Yan Ruyu also looked at him.
Then, Yan Ruyu said, "His state of mind is not completely stable yet. He should continue to practice here for some time. Elder Xia, I'll leave this matter to you."
Although Zhao Huai didn't understand how the matter of the Ghost Domain was related to him, since the Imperial Lord said he didn't need his company, there must be a reason.
"When does the Imperial Lord plan to set off?"
"Soon."
That was just Yan Ruyu. Once he made a decision, he wouldn't delay.
