The Ruler

The Ruler
164. Xi City 1.


An hour later, Qing Ruo stopped her work, then went to the golden palace, which was at the center of the soul world.


" Swhus...." His figure appeared in the palace, greeted by Qing Ling, Huli Bai and Huli Hei who were having a casual conversation at that place.


" Gege," Qing Ling said with a warm smile, looking at Qing's face that seemed to be hiding something.


" Ruler," said Huli Bai and Huli Hei respectfully.


" It just so happens" Qing Ruo said then sat down with them.


" Gege, has something happened?" Qing Ling asked with a serious face.


Qing Ruo shook her head. Staring at Qing Ling with a relaxed smile. 


" Do you all know Luo Jiao Lie?"


" Luo Jiao Lie? Ruler, who is he?" asked Huli Hei curiously.


" That means he is still training with Jun er," Qing Ruo said as she explained Luo Jiao Lie's figure in detail.


" Since he's our man, I want you to be able to help him too."


" Good ruler," said Huli Bai.


After talking for quite a while at that place, Huli Bai and Huli Hei finally left the room.


" Ling er," Qing Ruo said as she hugged the wife warmly, and gently kissed her forehead.


" Has something happened?" Staring at Qing Ruo fixedly.


" Guang Zhou and the others." he said slowly.


Qing Ling nodded her head.


" I know too. Before, we were discussing the matter." Hugged Qing Ruo warmly.


" Ling er, I." he said hesitantly with a feeling of sadness.


" No need to feel guilty.  There is life and death, and those of us who have an unlimited age can also experience it, let alone those who have become mortal."


Qing Ruo nodded her head.


" It's just that I haven't been able to thank those who have been helping us all this time" he said with a glare.


Qing Ling who already knew Qing Ruo's reaction would be like that could only fall silent, and hugged her tightly.


" Gege," Qing Ling softly said.


" Ling er, what's wrong?"


" Our daughter," he replied quietly, while showing the flaming blue jade bracelet in his hand.


Qing Ruo nodded her head, then followed Qing Ling into her room.


From outside the room, there was a loud cry from Qing Lian An, making Qing Ruo and Qing Ling accelerate their steps.


By the time they arrived, the sound of crying suddenly disappeared, with the tiny figure falling asleep again.


" An er," Qing Ruo said anxiously as she grabbed onto the tiny body, hugging it warmly, making Qing Ling shake her head.


Slowly, Qing Ruo's sad feelings were now fading away, moreover Qing Lian An who was inside her arms was not even bothered at all.


" It seems like she is really sleepy" Qing Ling said.


" It seems so," Qing Ruo said as she held him tightly, then placed the tiny body on her bed.


After putting Qing Lian An on her bed, Qing Ruo then walked over to Qing Ling who was arranging the immortal fruits on the room table.


" Ling er, we are currently in Xi city. After that, I will move towards Cheng city, Bao city, then arrive at the center of the Northern region. From that city I will use a large teleportation gate, so that it can directly arrive at the forbidden territory of Black Ice." Describe the route of his journey in detail, while enjoying peaches perennial


Qing Ling nodded her head.


" Hopefully the journey this time goes well. Gege, I'm sorry I didn't have time to prepare the food" he said slowly.


" It's okay. This is more than enough" said softly, chatting casually.


After finishing enjoying his meal, Qing Ruo and Qing Ling continued their conversation on the bed, until they both fell asleep.


****


Somewhere else.


Long Chen who was commissioned by Qing Ruo, finally returned.


" Sister, how?" Huo Mingzhi asked.


" Thankfully. But I think the ruler is resting."


Long Chen nodded his head, then chatted casually with Huo Mingzhi until morning.


***


In the world of the soul.


Qing Ruo woke up from her sleep, finding Qing Ling was taking care of Qing Lian An.


" Ling er." as he walked over to Qing Ling and grabbed Qing Lian An who was awakening.


" Dad's daughter is awake." Speaking to Qing Lian An who looked so happy.


" An er always woke up at the time of the morning, will soon be asleep again." Qing Ling explained.


And sure enough, not long after that little baby started whining.


" Gege," Qing Ling said as she grabbed the tiny body, and suckled it, making Qing Lian An begin to calm down again.


While accompanying Qing Ling who was breastfeeding Qing Lian An, Qing Ruo chatted casually, until she received a message from Long Chen.


" Ling er, I have to go right away." Staring at Qing Ling warmly.


" Be careful" he said softly.


After saying goodbye to Qing Ling, Qing Ruo then walked out of the soul world, and appeared inside the room.


Yang greeted Long Chen and Huo Mingzhi with respect.


" Ruler, sorry to bother you," Long Chen said respectfully.


Qing Ruo smiled amiably.


" It's morning too. Long Chen, how is it?"


" Lord, I've got that information. The auction was held by the Ice Jade auction house. It's just that I don't know what's going to be at the auction." While handing over the gold badge he got from that auction house.


" Why can that be?" .   


" The auctioned resources are confidential, only those who are at the auction know about them, with the aim of protecting those who win the proceeds."


Qing Ruo clasped her head.


" When does the show start?"


" This afternoon is the ruler."


" This afternoon?"


" Right ruler. The reason I interrupted your break time earlier, was for that reason." Long Chen explained


" If so, then we're getting ready." While asking the black fire Qilin back into the soul world.


After Huo Mingzhi returned to the soul world, Qing Ruo and Long Chen then walked out from within the room.


While walking towards the ground floor.


" Long Chen, is there any other important information?"


" There is no ruler. Xi is a safe city. However, I can't be sure."


Qing Ruo nodded her head as she continued to move her legs.


When we arrived at the ground floor. It looks like the place looks lonely. There were only three visitors who were chatting casually.


" It seems like everyone has already gone to the auction house," Qing Ruo said.


" It seems so," Long Chen said, while continuing to lead the way.


" Brother, are you going to the auction house?" asked one of the youths who was enjoying his drink, speaking to Qing Ruo kindly.


" Right brother. Didn't my brother leave?"


" Of course. After all the event is still a long time, so we relax a little, "The young man replied while showing his friendly smile.


Qing Ruo nodded her head.


" If so, we go first." Cupped his hands respectfully, then left the place.


" Good brother. See you at the auction house," he said as he cupped his hands together, staring at Qing Ruo's departure leisurely.


After Qing Ruo's departure, the three young men then resumed their conversation.
