CHAPTER 42

As the ashes of the serpent immortal drifted along with the wind, the shocked expression of the people after witnessing such fight remain.

Xianlan grab Xiao yu at the waist as he held him tightly. The fear of losing him just know makes him unable to resist the urge to express his emotion.

" Yuyu, I...I'm sorry, I put you endangered all over again. I didn't notice that she wasn't the princess but rather an impostor. " Xianlan felt disappointed by himself. How can he be so reckless.

" Xianlan it's okay, at least we manage to save everyone. It's not your fault anyway. "

In xiao yu's mind, he's hoping that what he did today won't cause him more trouble and despair in the future.

All the beast which is in command by the immortal serpent grumble and run away after they've gathered their instinct again. They run for their life, and by just a minute, they're all gone.

Xiao yu's body is experiencing soreness, and he throws several mouthful of blood.

" Yuyu! " Xianlan's voice is quivering.

Xiao yu sit down into a lutos position to stabilize his qi first. Xianlan also do as what xiao yu did and infuses his spiritual qi inside xiao yu.

When a cultivator infuses their spiritual qi inside a person's body, if without restriction, they could be able to see the person's internal part completely.

But xianlan become more confused, when his qi bounce back once it reaches into xiao yu's stomach. This means that xiao yu is protecting that part for any possible qi intrusion. But why? The answer is unknown. But even so, xianlan still help xiao yu without any question.

On the other hand, the place full of prosperity and extravagant life. The man who is sitting at the golden thrown sit elegantly but his face is distorted in anger.

" Just what did you say again?" The man roared loudly.

" Your royal highness, I'm saying that not long the power of the lost goddess was detected and it lasted for a few minutes. " The man with a long beard said while he vowed his head. It can be seen that though the man is on his early stage of a senior but his indifferent aura makes someone fear him.

" Look for her this instant. For how many years we thought that she was dead. Now, it seems like we are wrong. We can't let that silly woman to live! And we must get back that key from her " By the sound of a ' hmmp ' the man's gone.

All gods and goddesses believed that their princess was dead when the moon faded it's color and didn't shine for several days. But today, when xiao yu, used his fairy core it created a strong sensation making them to doubt their thoughts.

When xiao yu finally felt okay, he got up then  go back to his chamber. But of course with the emperor tailing him. The soldiers also retreated to the camp and some goes back into the palace.

After they entered inside the room. The emperor casted a strong barrier to not let anyone enter.

They sat down just savouring the moment of peace.

After a minute xiao yu finally said. " Xianlan, I won't deny the fact that I really do hate you at first by using your power as the emperor to force me to marry you. I don't know what you're up to, but throughout to life and death experience we shared together. I can say that you're a good man and a wise emperor. And I won't mind helping you at all. I won't mind being your empress anymore. But I know that you know who I am, and you know that I'm like a rabbit escaping from a tiger. and what happened today is like shouting to the world where my locationis.

So now, I'm saying this to bid good bye to you your majesty. We know what happened if those people that are hunting me find out that I'm here. A lot of innocent people will suffer and you might be one of them. We don't how capable they're, but I can't take the risk. Your majesty, before I leave, may your kindness remain and may you become god someday. I guess this is the furthest I can assist you. I'm sorry. " After a few minutes of thinking xiao yu finally decided to leave the empire. If he will suffer, then he must do it on his own.

" Yuyu, don't you trust me? I can protect you with all my might. Please don't leave me alone. I promise that I'll be more kind and love you more than anything else. Just, plea.. please don't leave me. " Tears cascaded into xianlan's face. He hug xiao yu without a second thought. He don't care what he looks like, he don't care if he's weak right now. What he want is his xiao yu to stay.

" Xianlan, this is the betterment for everyone. Can you bare to see people die one by one because of you? If only it didn't happened, then I don't mind staying at your side to help you achieve your dreams. But it come up to this point where there's no place for me stay anymore. I hope you will understand. " One also of the reason why he decided to go is because of the baby inside him now. He want to raise this child with peace and give the child's pure happiness. He didn't want to hide this to xianlan, but it's not yet the time for him to know.

A day before he was back by his close cultivation. He dreamed about his mother and know the truth behind his mother's death.

He learned that his mother was being hunted. Not only because of her position as the princess, but because of the item inside her body.

To avoid being trace even the barrier created by her mother empress. The goddess remove all her power and give it to xiao yu the day he was born to ensure his safety. He also discovered, that the ring he is wearing is the amulet and the key to the throne to recognize it's emperor again.

Xiao yu is tearful after knowing what the original xiao yu's mother has been through.

" Yuyu, I can go with you. I don't want to be an emperor anymore. We can go and live a simple life far from here if that's what you want. With my cultivation and yours combine together, we won't loss that easy. Just please, take me with you, I'm begging you. "

" But! " Before he could continue, he is greeted by the sudden pain on his chest.

" I've been known. " Xiao yu muttered and sigh deeply.
