Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 92 ~ Loyal Partners
Yue Yin's explanation that was so serious made Bing Long believe it. It didn't take long for Tiandou and the others to escape the terrifying pressure.
"Lihua's goddess will soon be out, I must go! You better take care of them first. I'm quite happy to meet you here. We will meet again, Goddess Yue." Bing Long said shortly before disappearing.
Yue Yin did not answer him just once nodded as a sign of understanding, then she immediately darted back to where Tiandou was.
"What's going on? Was it a hallucination from this thick fog or was there anything else" Elder Shuxan said so surprised by how he felt.
So did Su Kong, himself just silently silent by only repeatedly looking at himself.
"Sister? Explain to us, what exactly happened?" timpal Liu Zey who was also full of curiosity mixed with disbelief.
Tiandou smiled slightly, not that he could not explain but that he was confused as to how to give an explanation.
Meanwhile elsewhere, Tan Hao and Lan Lihua stepped out of the dragon ornate treasure room casually, being seen repeatedly twirling the dimensional ring on his finger.
Just a few steps out of the treasure storage room, they were startled by Bing Long's sudden presence with a smaller form than before.
"Greetings to Goddess Lihua! Bing Long is here for the Goddess." Bing Long said with her head lowered.
"Eh.. This dragon grandfather again! Is there something else?" chirped Tan Hao with his stupid expression.
Lan Lihua took a sharp look at Tan Hao, she immediately gave a warning of Tan Hao's disrespectful attitude.
"What's Uncle Bing seeing me?" Lan Lihua said kindly.
"Bing Long doesn't like to beat around the bush. Allow Bing Long to follow Goddess Lihua like before,-!! At this time there was nothing that Bing Long wanted most except to follow wherever Goddess Lihua went." replied Bing Long who still lowered her head.
Tan Hao widened innocently at Bing Long's words.
"Did I not hear wrong? Why did the dragon grandfather follow Hua'er?"
Lan Lihua looked back at Tan Hao as if telling him to shut up. Bing Long laughed.
"I like young people like you who talk without further ado. Mr. Tan Hao don't get me wrong, my point is to be a part of his strength. Didn't I explain if my current strength is a gift from the Goddess of Life before. So in essence I went back to the real owner." Bing Long explained as he raised his head.
Instantly Tan Hao fell silent and only glanced at Lan Lihua. He could not speak anymore, because what Bing Long said was indeed the truth. He was just waiting for an answer from Lan Lihua.
Tan Hao then thought, if Lan Lihua were to accept Bing Long's request of course the strength of the two would be great. Tan Hao was with Ye Yuan while Lan Lihua was with Bing Long, it would be great as a couple who had great power.
Although his current strength had not been properly measured, he was confident that if Lan Lihua accepted it would be of great help in their journey later.
"I can't accept it Uncle Bing! I feel unworthy to be called a goddess and nicknamed the Goddess of Life. I was far from enough to accept it." replied Lan Lihua who instantly made Tan Hao gawk in surprise.
"Hua'er! Just think again well this opportunity," Tan Hao quickly ambushed.
"I've thought about it, brother!" reply Lan Lihua was short.
Bing Long straightened her head, her gaze so certain.
"If the goddess doesn't want me then why has the goddess given me hope all along! Wouldn't a promise be kept if both sides accepted the situation and gave each other allegiance? Then does Goddess Lihua doubt my loyalty? How much longer do I have to prove it if not now?"
Lan Lihua fell silent, she lowered her head. His head was full of all sorts of thoughts.
Liu Zey who had been quiet for some time and only stole Tiandou's eyes, now he stared happily at the back of his loved one.
Tiandou was not ignorant but he thought more about the truth of Tan Hao's existence like what Yue Yin had said before.
His feelings were so ambiguous for him to understand, as if he was playing guesswork with destiny. Tan Hao was not only a teacher but also a friend and more than that. More of a family than what's in his heart.
The four of them stepped their feet so slowly following Tiandou as the front man.
"Sister! Are you okay?" said Liu Zey asking quietly even like whispering.
Tiandou was surprised to hear Liu Zey's voice so close in his ear.
"W-What does Zey's sister mean?"
"We've probably been almost four hours walking, but let's see! Even where we were before can still be seen." Liu Zey replied as he looked back.
Elder Shuxan and Su Kong chuckled at the same time. The two of them reacted innocently as if they did not want to interfere.
"Ah right, is this because I'm too slow?"
Liu Zey simply opened both of her hands while closing her eyes.
"All right, let's speed up our pace. Forgive me for being too stiff." continued Tiandou awkwardly.
Tiandou who previously walked so slowly now he actually looked so hasty. Making Elder Shuxan and Su Kong know each other the past few times just shakes their heads.
"Actually what's in Tiandou's brain anyway?" chirping quietly Su Kong.
Elder Shuxan chuckled lightly.
"Maybe his heart is being hit by an erratic longing to make the contents of his head become a dead end. He hehe he.."
"Oh, the longing affair does make anyone half crazy, for that I don't want to deal with longing, ha haha ha." Su Kong's timpal laughed quite loudly as heard by Tiandou.
The two fell silent suddenly as Tiandou and Liu Zey turned their heads towards them together, Elder Shuxan and Su Kong reacted like nothing before.
Not long ago they walked, Yue Yin who had been silent since then was now making a sound in Tiandou's mind.
"Master, a few more steps we'll reach the golden gate where the heirloom storage room entrance we're looking for! But my advice, sir, just wait in front of the golden gate. If we go in, we'll get nothing."
Tiandou's move instantly came to a halt when Yue Yin said that, what he thought was not an heirloom matter but another intention of Yue Yin's words that disturbed Tiandou's mind.
"What do you mean?"
"Really Master! We will soon meet old companions." Yue Yin quickly ambushed.
Tiandou was quietly fixated until involuntarily his profound energy seeped out. Tiandou's heart rate was so fast. His hands trembled which then held a ring that he took from between the cloths on his waist.
"Young Master! Tan Haochun?" stammering Tiandou while looking at the ring in his hand.
