They arrived at the royal gate guarded by several soldiers, the soldiers bowed respectfully after opening the gate to the man who delivered Shiren to the palace.
The man only nodded at a glance then resumed his steps inside, Shiren and Zhi Shu silently continued following the man's footsteps.
Upon entering the gate, they were immediately greeted with many rabbit-shaped trees in the vast royal courtyard, there were also several types of flowers that flourished there.
they reached the front of a large door that was the main entrance to the palace, the man slowly pushed the door, the atmosphere inside the palace which was originally crowded was momentarily silent.
Everyone inside stared at the curious door, and a man walked in with two strangers on his left and right.
The king who saw the arrival of his special guest smiled kindly which made the people who were there astonished.
"hail your majesty" said the man, bowing respectfully.
Shiren and Zhi Shu followed what the man had done.
"greet you I receive" the king said.
"what's the commander? is there a problem?"
"no, your honor, I just drove them here, just when I met the two of them at the market I asked them but they didn't want to answer before meeting you,so I drove them before the noble one" the man explained.
"alright Commander Ling, I can return to your place"
"good noble" Ling Gu said back to his place.
"what is your purpose in coming so far away to our place?"
"sorry before if we are presumptuous to come to your place without permission, but there is something we need to take care of here" Shiren explained.
" what business is that?"
"but before that we want to ask, is it true that this is the kingdom of the sky rabbit race?"
"right"
" have you ever sent a daughter from the blue sky rabbit race to the north?" asked Shiren heartily.
The King's face immediately turned sad upon hearing Shiren's question, he remembered about a little girl he used to carry and sat on his lap.
But it was all gone, when a demon kingdom envoy suddenly attacked his kingdom causing his wife to have to take her child to another region in order to survive.
not only that, after delivering his child, the wife continued to be sickly because she missed her child so much.they all also had to move to this small world to save themselves.
"right, he's my son, did you meet him?where is he now?can I meet her?"
"he is with me" replied Shiren.
" sorry but now he is my contract animal and I gave him the name Ling Fei."
Some of the people there seemed to grit their teeth and did not accept the daughter of their people to be made into a contract animal by Shiren, but the king just kept waiting for Shiren to explain it.
"i met Ling Fei when she stole bread at a stall, I invited her to my inn because it turned out that she only lived in a building that almost collapsed in the corner of the village."
The king who heard Shiren's words returned sad and feeling guilty, he imagined how difficult his daughter's life was out there.
"she also said how and where she came from, and without any coercion from me she asked to be my contract animal."
"i accept it because I want to help her, I want her to be a strong girl and be able to avenge the demon emperor." - Shiren sincerely from the heart.
"then where is Ling Fei now?"
"he is currently purifying himself in the dimension of my soul muk unsealing his body, and it is likely that tomorrow will be the last day of his purification."
"so Ling Fei's body is sealed"
"yes, Ling Fei has a special yet sealed body that makes her unable to cultivate."
"means the prophecy is true" the king murmured in his heart.
"all right, tomorrow we'll gather here again, now you can go home to each other!!" said the king to the people who were there, the joyful raut was clearly visible on the king's face.
"good your honor" they all resigned.
"the servant prepares a room for our guest" the king ordered.
"if you know what your names are?"
"i'm Shiren and he's my brother Zhi Shu"
"i'm Ling Shi, you can just call me Uncle Shi because your age is not much different from my children"
"good uncle"
"let me take you to see Ling Fei's mother, but before that are you familiar with her?"
a figure dressed all in black walked towards them, Shiren remembered this person was the one who confronted them while in the city of death.
"familiar, we met her while in the city dead"
"introduce him is my eldest son Duan ling"
Duan Linh opened the cloth covering his face, he smiled kindly at Shiren.
"thank you for not killing me" she said with a sweet smile.
Shiren was a little surprised, because at first he thought the figure was a man but it turned out that he was a woman with a very beautiful face.
"same-same"
"let's see, my sister must be so happy to hear that her son is here"
they walked while sharing the story towards the queen's room of the sky rabbit race, the ring came to a door with a very beautiful gold-plated size.
upon entering, Shiren and Zhi Shu were greeted with the sight of a woman lying weakly on the bed, occasionally coughing.
"that's my wife Ling Ling"
