Jiang Fan was not born in Kunlun, nor was he a heavenly being. Where did he come from? Is that so-called hometown a place beyond the ultimate secret realm in this world? Or...is it really the fairy world?
For the first time in her life, the empress was a little confused as to whether the fairy world existed.
She looked at Jiang Fan quietly, but the latter's face was full of nostalgia and confusion.
"A place that I may never go back to...it doesn't make any sense to talk about it, just let me keep it to myself."
You can never go back... It seems that this is only possible in the fairy world...
The empress was silent for a moment: "If you really can't go back, just live a good life."
Jiang Fan's thoughts returned from the ethereal world, and he smiled faintly: "That's what it should be. Then let's go home?"
The empress slowly shook her head: "Not yet."
"Not yet?" Jiang Fan was a little surprised.
The empress looked at the Kunlun Mountain in the distance: "In fact, although I have always wanted to confirm your relationship with Kunlun, do you believe it? I respect your intention and believe that when the time comes, you will naturally tell the truth, so I am not in a hurry... …”
Jiang Fan was indeed surprised: "Could it be that today's trip has a special meaning?"
The empress said: "Yes, I didn't do it this way, but I didn't expect that this opportunity happened to happen, so I just followed the trend."
Going with the flow? Jiang Fan was startled by these words, "...you mean, someone is guiding you?"
The empress said: "Ever since Taihua fought against Lu Yan, I felt that something was wrong, and someone seemed to be watching me. Therefore, I thought..."
Jiang Fan suddenly understood: "Do you want to do the same thing as before, repeat the old tricks, and catch the fish?"
The empress nodded: "So I will travel with you to see who is behind it and what they want to do."
Jiang Fan rubbed his head: "I just thought you were not that free and still in the mood to travel with me."
Seeing his awkward expression, the empress couldn't help but laugh: "It's not the first time you've been taken advantage of, why haven't you gotten used to it yet?"
Yo? Jiang Fan was shocked. Look at what you said. Should I adapt to it?
"Thank you for being such a sincere and happy person..." Jiang Fan complained aggrievedly.
The empress said: "We don't need to think too normal, you are not a good person, and you wanted to trick me at the beginning."
"Uh..." Jiang Fan was speechless.
"What happened next? What did you find?" Jiang Fan decided to continue talking about business.
The empress said: "Then things became more and more weird. Along the way, I felt like someone was secretly following me. By the time we got to Cui Valley, it was already clear."
"So, you plan to act separately from me in order to face them alone?"
The empress said: "Yes, if you don't do something, they will always refuse to be exposed, so I want to try to break up with you. What's interesting is that Taiyue found Zhang Zaifu at this stall, and he was also following this heavenly man behind him. . After that, you know, I beat that person severely and let him go."
Jiang Fan suddenly understood: "You didn't kill that guy, and you didn't do it to let him spread some message, but you just wanted to see what chain reaction it would trigger?"
"Yes, and then I continued on the road alone. The strange thing is that there were still people following me all the way, but no one took the initiative. On the contrary, something happened to you."
Jiang Fan nodded: "After I received Zhang Zaifu, I noticed that some things had surfaced, so I thought of using Zhang Zaifu's help to deal with it. Then, he told Zhang Yi's story from beginning to end."
The empress thought for a moment and looked at Jiang Fan with a look of admiration: "Zhang Yi is good at calculating, but in the end you are the better one. However, his final summons shows that the problem is not simple."
Jiang Fan said: "Yes, Zhang Yi delayed for time in the end. I still can't figure out why and what those four sentences mean."
The empress said calmly: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it hard. Soldiers will block it, and water will cover it. Since ancient times, no one can control everything. Sometimes, it is more about adapting to changes and being prepared for changes."
Jiang Fan snapped his fingers with approval, "It's in place! So, let's not just stand around. We should prepare after eating."
The empress looked at the bonfire that still had embers and the remaining fish, and sat down cross-legged: "Grill some. Eating grilled fish here is considered a pleasure in life."
Jiang Fan smiled: "Okay, it's really rare to sit on the ground under the cover of the sky, eat broken snow and silver scales, and look at the beautiful scenery of Kunlun."
The empress won't do household chores like cooking. That's the business of Jiang Fan, a good man.
Seeing Jiang Fan busy there, the empress said: "Zhang Yi once again suffered a big loss in your hands, but in fact he was not hurt. However, he will definitely keep it in your account."
Of course Jiang Fan understood, "It's particularly hateful to sabotage this matter. Zhang Yi is probably going crazy. After all, they have no intention of plotting against me. How can he not hold his breath because I'm messing with this randomly?"
The empress' eyes were a little gentle: "You are helping me, helping me, Da Qin."
Jiang Fan stretched out a finger with fish intestines hanging on it and shook it: "He is also my Da Qin."
The empress smiled slightly: "I'm very happy to hear you say that."
Jiang Fan's ears twitched when he heard this, and he turned his head and smiled slyly: "Don't just talk about it, go back and give me some rewards..."
The empress picked up the broken Yuan Cone and wiped the blood on it: "This thing is a good thing, um... what did you just say?"
"Uh... I mean, Your Majesty has to reward you according to your merits. Jiang Xiaoyu doesn't have enough to eat, so please give me more elixirs."
The empress snorted softly and dropped the Broken Yuan Cone: "With him protecting you, why are you still injured?"
Jiang Fan grumbled: "He came out late. I was stabbed before he showed up after taking a shower."
After hearing what he said, the empress frowned. Although Jiang Fan said it simply and loosely, the empress didn't know that every time he used his innate energy, he was risking his life and death.
"I've hurt you..."
It was rare for Jiang Fan to hear her speak like this, and he looked dumbfounded, then smiled and said: "Couple, let's meet each other."
The empress looked at him with a deep look: "You are not from Qin, nor are you my husband. You have done too much for me and for Great Qin."
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "As I said, she is also my Da Qin. And you are my wife, not me."
The empress' eyes were complicated: "Sometimes, I really don't understand you..."
Jiang Fan rubbed his scalp with his elbow and said with a smile: "Don't talk about you. Sometimes I don't understand myself. I am a tangled and contradictory person."
The empress reached out and gently wiped away some fish scales on the tip of his nose: "It's best not to use your innate energy. Unless you can't control it, I always feel that it will cause big trouble."
Jiang Fan stopped his hands and looked thoughtful. It's not that he had never thought about this matter, but the empress actually had the same idea as him. It seemed that the most bizarre practice in the world might have a great cause and effect.
However, he didn't want to get too entangled with these things that were not revealed. While taking care of the broken snow and silver scales, he said: "Then, because the things behind the scenes have not yet surfaced, you are not in a hurry to return to Qin, and plan to continue Lure the snake out of its hole?"
