In Fufeng's office, Zhaozhao, Suyuan, and Fufeng were sitting together on one side around the tea table.
Fufeng was breaking out in a cold sweat. He wondered, "What should I do after accidentally peeping at the intimate moment between Lord Yinglong and his lovely wife?!"
Zhaozhao held her face in her hands. She had a hunch that the atmosphere seemed a bit strange, so she obediently kept silent.
Suyuan rubbed his temples. Fufeng was such a gossip. If he couldn't explain things clearly today, rumors would surely spread like wildfire in the future.
"I'm not what you think with her..."
How dare Fufeng question him? Whatever Suyuan said was right.
It was hard to tell whether he believed it in his heart, but he surely pretended to believe it with his words. "Yes, yes, yes. I got it."
"... Forget it." Suyuan gave up helplessly. Anyway, it seemed impossible to explain clearly.
"Wait!" Zhaozhao raised her hand and asked, "What do you mean by 'what you think'?" She was confused.
Suyuan seriously explained again, "We're not lovers."
"Lovers?" Zhaozhao murmured the word. Suddenly, she thought of the TV drama she had watched and began to seriously reason:
In the drama, the heroine kissed the so - called CEO, and then the CEO asked her to call him husband. After she called him husband, the heroine told the CEO's mother that they were lovers. But she had never kissed Suyuan, and Suyuan had also said that she couldn't call him husband. So...
Ah! She understood!
Zhaozhao suddenly realized. She seriously explained to Fufeng, "We're not lovers. I can't call him husband. I haven't kissed him!"
Zhaozhao thought that she and Suyuan should be good friends.
... There was a strange silence. Fufeng stared in horror with his mouth wide open enough to fit two eggs.
Looking at Suyuan's suddenly darkened face, Fufeng felt that he had discovered something extraordinary.
It seemed that the great Suyuan was just being stubborn and shy, which had made his wife leave. Now he was unrequitedly in love with her?!
Oh my God... This was really explosive news.
"Have you arranged someone to pick up Aman?" Suyuan was exhausted. He decided not to tangle with this issue anymore. Anyway, it was more or less explained clearly. Although the process was wrong, the result was correct.
Fufeng came back to his senses from the shock. "Oh, yes, I've arranged it. They should have reached the Cliff of Reincarnation by now. Maybe she's almost about to drink the soup of forgetfulness. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Suyuan looked at Zhaozhao and asked, "Do you want to go and see her off for the last time?"
Zhaozhao shook her head. "No need." She knew that after drinking the soup of forgetfulness, Aman would be reincarnated. She had had a hard life in this world. Let it pass. Let her go without any attachments.
Moreover, Aqing's soul hadn't been properly settled yet. They had to hurry.
Suyuan nodded. He was about to leave with Zhaozhao when he suddenly stopped upon noticing Fufeng's sneaky look.
He had forgotten to retract his dragon horns...
Suyuan unnaturally concealed his dragon horns. Suddenly, he thought of something.
His dragon horns would indeed show up under certain special circumstances, but it didn't make sense that they had appeared just because Zhaozhao had hugged him.
Moreover... They had hugged each other before.
The more Suyuan thought about it, the more something seemed off. Associating with the strange fragrance on Zhaozhao that could calm him down, a conjecture emerged in his mind.
"What's wrong?" Zhaozhao waited for a long time but Suyuan didn't move. She tilted her head and asked him.
Suyuan clenched his hands. He turned to Fufeng and asked, "Where is Diting?"
Fufeng was looking forward to Suyuan's quick departure. Suddenly being asked by him, he even dropped the fried chicken leg he had just picked up.
"Uh... Diting has been working for too long recently and exhausted too much energy. It's taking a rest now. Do you have something to do with it?"
Suyuan didn't explain. He just asked, "Where did it go to rest?"
Fufeng thought for a while and said, "It should be in the Ten Thousand Spirit Mountain. The spiritual energy there is the richest, and it hasn't been polluted by human industry. It should have gone there."
The Ten Thousand Spirit Mountain... That was exactly where they were going.
"Thank you. Nanjia will send the computer and mobile phone to you another day. Also, if I catch you slacking off during working hours again, you'll go to the Abyss for half a month." Suyuan said calmly and then flew away with Zhaozhao in his arms.
Fufeng was bubbling with joy in his heart, but he still pretended to be polite and shouted, "Oh, you're being too polite! A computer and a mobile phone aren't worth much!"
Watching them go far away, he secretly laughed, "Hehe, I can get a new computer now!"
---
Zhaozhao followed Suyuan to the Ten Thousand Spirit Mountain. Looking at the three - meter distance between them, she was a bit silent.
What was wrong with Suyuan?
Suyuan was thinking about other things. He gave Zhaozhao the tree and the brocade bag containing Aqing's soul.
"I'm going to look for Diting. Now I'll teach you how to plant the tree and then send Aqing's soul into the tree for nourishment. Okay?"
Zhaozhao obediently replied, "Okay."
Suyuan taught Zhaozhao the incantation. Zhaozhao demonstrated it once in front of him, and it was completely correct.
Even Suyuan had to marvel. She was indeed very talented. She could master such a complex spell with just a little instruction.
After Suyuan left, Zhaozhao planted the tree on the spiritual mountain as he had taught her.
The Amo Divine Tree that Aqing had mentioned took root and grew at an astonishing speed. In just a short while, it had grown to the same size as it was in the cave before.
Zhaozhao carefully led out the fragments of Aqing's soul and sent them into the heart of the tree spirit with a spell.
Everything was in order, but the roots of the tree were still withered.
Zhaozhao was a bit worried. She was always afraid that the withered roots would affect Aqing's recovery.
She gently touched the exposed roots with a bit of pity. Miraculously, as soon as she touched the roots, the tree suddenly began to grow rapidly and blossomed with pink flowers. The roots miraculously came back to life and began to absorb the spiritual energy from the ground of the Ten Thousand Spirit Mountain.
"Zhaozhao, what are you doing?" Suyuan's voice sounded from behind. Zhaozhao turned around in surprise and found that there was also a divine beast beside Suyuan. It was snow - white all over, with a tiger's head, a single horn, and a dog's ears.
"I... I didn't do anything. I just touched it." Zhaozhao raised her hands, looking a bit innocent.
Suyuan looked at the flowers all over the tree, and his eyes gradually became deep.
"My lord, is this the person you want me to listen to?" Diting took out the earplugs from its ears with its two paws and lazily asked Suyuan.
"Yeah."
Suyuan raised his hand, and Zhaozhao suddenly flew into the air and slowly landed beside Suyuan.
Suyuan supported her to stand still and softly said to her, "Let Diting listen to you, okay?"
It was a question, but he didn't really wait for Zhaozhao's answer.
He directly made Zhaozhao fall into a coma.
Suyuan laid the comatose Zhaozhao down and said to Diting, "Start."
Diting shook its head and closed its eyes.
Diting could distinguish all things in the world and could listen to the past lives of humans and demons. Suyuan had brought it here to confirm Zhaozhao's identity again.
Diting listened attentively for about three minutes. When it opened its eyes again, there was a look of solemnity in its beastly eyes.
It was so strange. Diting had never encountered such a situation before. It was not sure, so it listened again.
"My lord, I can't hear anything."
"What?"
Diting repeated again, "I can't hear anything. I can't tell what she is."
"Can't you even tell whether she's human or a demon?" Suyuan asked.
"I don't know. I can't tell what she is, but I did hear a bit of her past lives and mortal ties."
"What is it?"
Diting looked deeply at Suyuan with its beastly eyes and said in a deep voice, "In her past lives and mortal ties, it's you."
