Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2883
Chapter 1396 Fire Cloud Cave
Xi He turned around in surprise and delight. Although the man now wore a mask, she recognized him immediately.
“Didn’t you leave?” Xi He immediately put on a stern face and snorted coldly.
“I was still a little worried, so I came back to check.” Although Zu An had just left, he sensed her tear falling to the mortal realm from afar and realized he had been too cruel to her.
Although their relationship was a mistake, it was genuine patriotism, and he had a good relationship with Shang Hongyu in later lives.
So he subconsciously slowed his pace and sensed some powerful auras rushing towards Xi He. Worried that something might have happened to her, he came to check.
He didn’t expect to find her surrounded by these heavenly soldiers and generals.
At this moment, Gui Che frowned deeply: “Who are you?”
He even had a guess that Xi He’s elopement was because of this man.
However, this guess was too damaging to the Heavenly Emperor’s reputation, so he naturally couldn’t say it.
Zu An didn’t answer, but went directly to Xi He’s side. The Blade of Destruction slashed, and the Immortal Binding Rope broke, freeing Xi He.
Seeing this, Guiche was enraged: “How dare you!”
Guiche’s anger level increased by 444+444+444…
His heavenly soldiers and generals, having already received the signal, transformed into golden-armored giants and lunged at their opponent.
“Be careful of Guiche’s soul-capturing skill,” Xihe warned, just as she was about to act, when suddenly a seven-colored divine light flashed before her eyes.
Then, all the heavenly soldiers and generals, including the demon general Guiche, were absorbed into that divine light.
The next second, they reappeared, completely dazed and confused, lying on the ground unable to get up, no longer possessing any of their previous imposing demeanor.
Xihe blinked. Although she knew her opponent was strong from their previous encounter, this was simply too strong.
Zu’an didn’t want to get too involved with the beings of this world, worried about affecting the future, so he grabbed Xihe’s hand and transformed into a rainbow, leaving the spot.
The heavenly soldiers and generals were all weak and listless, having no strength left to capture the two.
Once they reached safety, Zu’an released her grip: “You’re supposed to be the future Heavenly Empress, why did they dare treat you like this?”
She had just been bound by the Immortal-Binding Rope, looking like a prisoner. Even if
she was running away from her marriage, this wasn’t the least of their fault. “Who knows what’s gotten into them? They said Di Jun disappeared, and I did it.” Xi He was speechless. In her opinion, if she could make the Heavenly Emperor disappear, would she need to run away from her marriage? She certainly wouldn’t have been captured like this.
“Disappeared…” Zu’an frowned. The Di Jun he remembered was powerful and extremely cunning. If he disappeared, was he perhaps working on some world-destroying formation again?
“Regardless, thank you for saving me this time.” Xi He bowed to him, her eyes softening slightly. “Why are you wearing this mask?”
“I’m from the future, after all. I’m worried that seeing my true appearance will affect history,” Zu’an replied.
Xihe blinked, nodding as if she understood, “No wonder I’m with you in my future life; it’s because of this encounter.”
Zu’an was startled. He had been too grief-stricken at the Guanghan Palace to consider these things, especially since Xihe’s arrival had been so sudden.
But Xihe’s words reminded him that when he first met Xihe, she didn’t recognize him at all. He had to use the Golden Phoenix’s power when he was on the verge of death, which was the beginning of their ill-fated relationship.
If Xihe had already seen him now, wouldn’t everything in the future be invalid? He
was in a state of turmoil, confused and worried about the terrible consequences of causing spacetime disorder.
“What’s wrong?” Xihe noticed his unusual behavior and asked with concern.
“Nothing,” Zu’an forced a smile. He felt that something was off about the whole thing, but he couldn’t figure it out.
“You never tell the truth,” Xihe said, hands on her hips. “I don’t know why my future self would fall for you.”
Seeing her girlish side, Zu’an found it particularly fascinating: “Fate is so strange.”
“Fine, since you saved me once, I’ll help you once too. Aren’t you going to find some Yan Emperor’s daughter? I’ll take you.” Xihe snorted.
Zu’an was taken aback: “You know her?”
“No, but I’m probably more familiar with this world than someone from the future like you.” Xihe had another thought: she wanted to see what the woman who could make this guy so obsessed looked like.
Zu’an thought about it and agreed. The world was so big; he really didn’t know where to look for some Yan Emperor. “Then I’ll trouble you.”
“Didn’t you say we’d be a couple in the future? Why are you being so distant?” Xihe rolled her eyes.
Zu’an thought to himself, “We’ll be in close contact in the future; I can’t treat you like this now.
” “By the way, what’s your name?” Xihe asked curiously.
Zu An fell silent. Xi He was a little unhappy: “Not even telling me your name, my future lover?”
“Mainly because I’m worried it might affect the future.” Zu An had a headache; he was even beginning to doubt whether this world and the Heavenly Court world he had been to before were on the same timeline.
“Just knowing your name will affect the future?” Xi He felt her teeth itch a little. Why did she suddenly feel like hitting this guy? “I can’t go around calling you ‘husband’ the whole way, can I?”
Zu An smiled. “If you want to call me that, I wouldn’t mind.”
Xi He: “…”
Seeing that she really seemed a bit angry, Zu An finally said, “You can call me A-Zu.”
“A-Zu? That sounds awful.” Xi He muttered, yet secretly remembered the name in her heart.
“By the way, where exactly is the Yan Emperor?” Zu An asked curiously.
“To the south. But ‘Yan Emperor’ is only Shennong’s self-given title. In heaven and earth, only Di Jun can truly be called Emperor.”
“If that’s the case, doesn’t Di Jun do anything about it?”
“Of course he does. But Shennong carries the bloodlines of both the Vermilion Bird and the Divine Ox, and he has allied with the Xuanyuan Dragon Clan. Di Jun can’t do much to them for the time being,” Xi He explained.
“Vermilion Bird…” Zu An thought to himself, no wonder he was called the Flame Emperor, and Pei Mianman in later generations was also skilled in fire; it seemed they were indeed of the same lineage.
“But that Shennong had a bull’s head and a human body, how beautiful could his daughter be? I’m starting to doubt your judgment.” Xi He’s expression was strange.
“She’s very beautiful.” Zu An smiled, “As beautiful as you.”
Xi He was initially a little unhappy, but upon hearing his last sentence, her mood instantly improved.
So, along the way, he kept asking about the various aspects of their relationship in later generations. Zu An answered while carefully considering what he couldn’t say, which was quite a headache.
Suddenly, he noticed the scenery below: “Huh, why are we flying towards the sea? Wasn’t it supposed to be south?”
“Shennong’s Fire Cloud Cave is located on an island in the south,” Xihe replied casually.
Zu’an, however, was startled: “Fire Cloud Cave?”
He remembered that when he was searching for an antidote for the ancient sea tribes, he had gone to Fire Cloud Cave and encountered a mysterious being there, whose identity he still didn’t know.
