Chapter 687 My Lord, You've Become So Small and Short
What Zhu Lingzhi wanted, Zhu Lingzhi got.
The most talented and beautiful young phoenix of this generation in the Yuanming Realm looked at the invitation in her hand and didn't know what to say.
The note read neatly at the top: "Self-service burial voucher for Xue Lan, the eldest son of the Wolf Clan, unlimited time and quantity."
At the very bottom, there is a round animal paw drawn.
"Self-service voucher?" Zhu Lingzhi asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Xue Tong taught me this. She said it's a voucher that lets you take anything you want once you're inside. Keep it safe..."
Before Xue Lan could finish giving her instructions, she saw Zhu Lingzhi take out several jade boxes from his sleeve and protect the invitation like nesting dolls.
Xue Lan: No, is it really that serious?
Lord Wolf, knock on your inner demons:
"Didn't this child consider the possibility that she didn't even have a grave?"
The inner demon: "How could a normal person even consider such a possibility?"
Xue Lan thought about it and realized it made sense.
Zhu Lingzhi carefully put away Xue Lan's invitation as if it were a precious treasure, then looked at her again:
"Senior, shouldn't we go out and meet that Tiger Lord?"
Let the clan leader of Jing Tonghu stand outside, so that those with ulterior motives can see what happens.
Zhu Lingzhi didn't want the demon race to fight amongst themselves; he was exhausted.
Xue Lan nodded upon hearing this: "That's exactly what I was thinking."
After saying that, she stood up first and led the Soul Guide towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Zhu Lingzhi followed behind her, very respectfully.
"Actually, you don't have to do this."
Xue Lan suddenly spoke up from the front.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can think of me as Xue Lan from the lower realm."
"I'll try to adjust. But not today." Zhu Lingzhi's lips curled slightly.
"No one in the Upper Realm is unafraid of your name, sir."
Xue Lan felt wronged, understanding the situation but still feeling aggrieved.
Lord Wolf hurried forward, shaking off Zhu Lingzhi, when he suddenly heard the Phoenix Clan Princess speak:
"Actually, it's not impossible today, but I have a small request."
Xue Lan turned to look at her, her eyes shining: "What request?"
"Sir, could you go and scare Lei Chuxi?"
Xue Lan: "Is this what friends are?"
Zhu Lingzhi: "This is it!" His tone was absolutely firm.
Xue Lan smirked: "The deal is done."
Zhu Lingzhi was happy, and he seemed much more at ease.
Indeed, fear and fright are meant to be shared.
As they were thinking this, the two arrived at the city lord's mansion. As soon as they stepped out, they saw a golden tiger, half the height of the wall, nestled against the wall, with several tiger cubs sleeping soundly beneath it.
Zhu Lingzhi took a closer look and couldn't help but cover his eyes.
The entire Jing Tonghu royal family, except for the emperor who remained in the desolate region, is here.
No one in the entire Phoenix Clan has ever seen such a spectacle.
Zhu Lingzhi stood next to Xue Tong and did not move forward, while Xue Lan walked past the crowd to the big tiger head.
Xue Lan's eyes held a desolate longing as she gently patted the tiger's cheek.
"noob?"
Xue Tong: "Didn't you call him Xiaobai?"
Little Tong quickly tapped her inner demon: "You didn't say that you two were colorblind in your past life, so why are you hiding your condition?"
"Who's hiding their illness?" the inner demon retorted, somewhat unconvinced. "He has the blood of a white tiger; he was white when he was a child."
The woman's voice carried a hint of regret:
"I don't know why I've become like this now. I was cuter when I was a child."
Xue Tong looked at the tiger, which was as big as a small mountain, and couldn't help but nod in agreement: "What you said is indeed very true."
Jinqueshan slept in the fine snow once again after more than a thousand years, cutting itself off from all outside influences.
He seemed to have returned to the Northern River when he was a child, where the young tiger cub thought it wasn't the biological child and ran around everywhere, eventually stumbling into that adult's icy and snowy secret realm.
"Jin Xiaobai!"
A somewhat unfamiliar female voice came to my ear, but the tone was incredibly familiar.
"It's my lord!"
The big tiger suddenly opened its eyes, looked up, and asked, "My lord? My lord, where are you?"
I heard your voice!
Standing beside his chin, Xue Lan's paternal affection shattered instantly. She raised her hand, which conjured a wolf's claw, and slapped him across the face: "Next!"
Jin Queshan's ears drooped from the beating, but he still stuck out his tongue happily the moment he saw Xue Lan:
"Sir, you've become so small and short, but it's okay, it's good that I can see you."
Xue Tong slowly opened her mouth wide:
"Putting aside why he sounds so much like a canine, isn't he afraid of getting into trouble for talking like that?"
The inner demon offered a plausible prediction: "Maybe, no way."
Xue Lan really wanted to hit him again, but looking into those ruthless eyes, she only felt exhausted.
Oh well, he was just a silly kid to begin with.
She gently raised her hand, and Jin Queshan drew all three children around him to his chin, then lowered his head.
Xue Lan ruffled the four fluffy heads in one go.
"My lord, I visited you eight hundred years ago, why didn't you see me then? My wife said I'm too foolish and you don't like me!"
Xue Lan: Your wife has a good eye.
"And what about those people last time? I was being attacked by the demons in the wasteland back then, otherwise I would have gone to help you."
Zhu Lingzhi knew that what the Tiger Lord meant by being attacked by the demons was actually that he had gone mad after learning about the events in Beiyuchuan, but couldn't get there immediately. So he broke through the defenses first and single-handedly fought half of the demon realm.
Because of this incident, Her Majesty the Empress sent him back to take care of the children and forbade him from going to the front lines.
"Let's not talk about those things anymore." Xue Lan stroked the soft fur on the tiger's chin, then looked up at the one of the four that she didn't recognize: "Let me introduce it."
For no other reason than that this tiger is excessively beautiful, with even a faint red tinge at the corners of its eyes.
According to Xue Tong, it's not on the same layer as the surrounding area.
“This is my eldest son, Jin Yue. He looks most like his mother. His mother is as beautiful as an angel.”
Once Jin Queshan started talking about this, he couldn't stop. Xue Lan didn't interrupt him, but conjured a chair next to him and sat down to listen quietly.
Xue Tong watched her from a short distance away, then suddenly asked the inner demon:
"Is it just my imagination? She looks a bit older since she came to the Upper Realm."
It wasn't a change in appearance, but a change in mindset. Although Xue Lan in the lower realm often claimed to have lived for thousands of years, his actions and expressions were usually lively.
The inner demon's voice was deep and resonant:
"Because in the upper realm, she is a well-known elder."
Xue Lan's prestige was not an empty reputation, but the result of countless battles and bloodshed.
"Many years ago, both the wolf clan and the upper realm needed this kind of ruthlessness and composure to maintain stability, and she has always done so..."
Xue Tong understood.
For Xue Lan now, the Upper Realm is an unfamiliar environment she has been away from for a thousand years, and she is actually somewhat unaccustomed to it.
So they decided to explore the ways of doing things based on the methods of their previous life.
The thought that the seemingly calm and composed Wolf King was just putting on an act made Xue Tong burst out laughing.
Little Tong whispered to her inner demon, "You really are the one who understands her best."
Inner Demon: "Actually, I'm not too keen on understanding her, but since you've said that..."
Xue Tong: I really want to saw off this stubborn mouth!
