Chapter 33: Azure Wing Manor

"Silly, I'm still me, just with a few more memories."

"Little Prince, Wulun has finally waited for you. It turns out what our ancestors said was true. In the first millennium, our little prince would naturally come to our door. Wulun never expected the little prince to come to our tribe in this way. We have finally fulfilled the ancestors' legacy, sob sob."

Wulun's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. He had originally thought he was destined to fail to fulfill the legacy left by his ancestors, but he didn't expect a glimmer of hope to appear. It was truly destined.

On one side, everyone was excitedly discussing, while on the other side, Xiao Hei was chirping especially happily. He held something in his small paws and presented it to Li Ge like a treasure.

"What is this?" Li Ge asked as she opened the thing in her hands. When she saw the contents, her crescent-shaped eyes sparkled. "Mo is so cute."

Li Ge didn't need to think to know that this sketch was drawn by the Tianhe Empress. Looking at the realism of the painting, she had every reason to believe that the Tianhe Empress was an art major before she traveled through time. The signature on the painting read: "To my beloved son, Little Ling Mo."

Seeing Li Ge's smiling face, Ling Mo didn't even need to look to know what his mother, who didn't act like a mother at all, had drawn. He snorted coldly, causing everyone who had stretched their necks to see to quickly retract their necks.

Of course, only Li Ge didn't realize it and continued to comment, "Mo was much cuter when he was younger."

Another cold snort. Ling Mo certainly wouldn't tell her that this painting was drawn when he was forced to lie still with acupuncture points.

He snatched the painting from her hands. Ling Mo was about to exert force, but a pair of soft and tender hands timely pressed his strong palm. Li Ge smiled sweetly and said, "Mo, don't destroy it. Can you give it to me?"

She also knew that with Mo's personality, this painting wasn't drawn willingly. But the little kid in the painting was really cute.

Seeing Ling Mo turn around, Li Ge knew he had agreed. She quickly hid the painting in her arms.

Following his memory, Ling Mo pressed a red button on a wall, and with a click, a series of stone doors rumbled open, scattering dust everywhere.

Standing at the doorway, Ling Mo called out, "Come here."

When she walked in, he grabbed her hand and walked towards the tunnel also inlaid with night pearls.

Everyone quickly followed, and the wild beasts that had also fallen down shook their heads and followed.

Everyone didn't dare to be distracted in the tunnel. The rumbling sound of the mountain shaking had gradually stopped. In the tunnel, there were only the sound of footsteps and the breaths that people didn't dare to take deeply.

Because of the light from the night pearls, everyone didn't find the time too difficult. As they walked, Li Ge asked with a puzzled expression, "Mo, do I feel like we're walking in circles?"

Hearing this, Ling Mo gave her an appreciative look and explained, "This was designed by the Tianhe Empress. It's a spiral going upwards. She did this purely for fun."

The smile on Li Ge's face disappeared. She didn't agree with the great empress's strange hobby.

Finally, Ling Mo stopped and everyone realized they were standing at a few steps. Ling Mo whispered to Li Ge, "Stand here."

Then, he squatted down at the top step and groped for a moment. His hand paused, and with a force, there was another click.

Crash. The sound of heavy objects moving came from above. The 'Dust' clan people stared in shock. How was this possible? Such a heavy rock could actually move on its own? The Tianhe Empress was truly a god.

When the rumbling stopped, everyone subconsciously raised their hands to block the dazzling sunlight. It turned out that it was already daytime.

Looking around, they found themselves back at the entrance of the forbidden area. The surroundings had been almost destroyed. The once lush forbidden area was now basically bare, with only a few old trees still swaying in the wind. The soil had been washed away, leaving smooth rocks. In short, the entire forest looked like it had been thoroughly cleaned by heaven.

"Today is a good day!" Wulun exclaimed after observing for a long time.

The azure sky was cloudless, and occasionally a bird flew by, breaking the silence. The breeze brought a refreshing and clear breath, instantly dispelling everyone's gloom.

Ling Mo looked back at the path they had come from. A hint of longing flashed in his usually emotionless eyes. Li Ge, who had noticed this, knew what he was thinking. Li Ge leaned tightly against him and said, "I'll go with you in the future."

Rubbing the top of her soft hair, Ling Mo pulled out a faint smile and nodded. Then, he took her hand and walked down the mountain without looking back, his cold words echoing in the air, "No one is allowed to enter this place again. Anyone who violates this order will die."

"Yes." Wulun and the elders immediately responded.

Returning to the place where the 'Dust' clan lived, Li Ge was relieved this time. But when she saw the mess around her, she couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

"Don't worry, it's easy to rebuild these houses." Seeing what Li Ge was thinking, someone comforted her.

Li Ge's mood relaxed. She smiled at everyone and said, "That's right. You've worked hard."

On Ling Mo's side, he had already started walking towards the direction they had come from, calling out, "Come on, we're leaving today."

Hearing this, Li Ge quickly ran to catch up with him.

"Farewell to everyone." Li Ge bowed to the 'Dust' clan people.

Until they were out of sight, someone asked, "Master Wulun, why is the little prince leaving now?"

"The little prince has important responsibilities. He will definitely come back one day. After all, there is something here that he cares about. Everyone, listen carefully. The little prince said that no one is allowed to enter the forbidden area again."

"Yes, Master Wulun."

This was the ancient streets!

Li Ge smacked her lips as she looked at the bustling crowds.

Sure enough, no matter what era, the capital was the most prosperous place. Of course, Chaofeng was the same.

Stone roads, various luxuriously decorated shops lined up on both sides of the street, and smiling vendors in the middle.

This was the market Li Ge had imagined. But Chaofeng's capital was much more prosperous than she had imagined.
