Chapter 230: Chu Yeran
“Your Majesty, His Highness Chu Yeran has been waiting outside for a long time. Do you think…”
The head eunuch on the side saw the Vermilion Bird Emperor chatting happily with Chu Lingque and couldn’t help but remind him.
“Oh? That kid again.”
The Vermilion Bird Emperor’s good mood was instantly affected by this Chu Yeran.
Chu Yeran was the chief disciple of the Great Elder of the Vermilion Bird Divine Sect. The Great Elder of the Vermilion Bird had the strength of the first turn of the peak of the Mahayana realm.
His strength and status were second only to the Vermilion Bird Emperor.
For the sake of the Great Elder’s face, the Vermilion Bird Emperor had to give this Chu Yeran some face.
Speaking of Chu Yeran.
If the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation didn’t have Chu Lingque, then Chu Yeran would be the number one genius of the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation.
Born with four spirit gates, he was already at the peak of the Body Integration realm at the age of twenty-nine.
Many elders predicted that Chu Yeran would reach the Mahayana realm around the age of thirty-five.
More importantly, the Vermilion Bird bloodline in Chu Yeran’s body was second only to Chu Lingque’s.
How could the Vermilion Bird Emperor not know what this kid meant by waiting outside?
He just wanted to find his precious daughter.
Among Chu Lingque’s many suitors, Chu Yeran was the most outstanding one.
Whether in terms of age… talent, or Vermilion Bird bloodline, if one were to say that Chu Yeran was not worthy of Chu Lingque in the Mortal Realm, one really couldn’t find a second person who was worthy of Chu Lingque.
The key was that the Vermilion Bird Emperor had always wanted to find fault with this kid, but he couldn’t.
Not only was he humble, but with such talent, he had never had any scandals with other female cultivators.
He was just wholeheartedly good to Chu Lingque, as if he were born to be a pair with Chu Lingque.
Even so, the Vermilion Bird Emperor was not satisfied with this kid. He always felt that something was missing.
Every time this matter was mentioned, the Vermilion Bird Emperor would use Chu Lingque’s young age and immaturity as an excuse.
The moment she heard the news, Chu Lingque pricked up her ears.
She left the hall almost without thinking.
“It’s Brother Yeran coming to play with me. Then, Father Emperor, I’ll go first.”
Without asking for the Vermilion Bird Emperor’s permission, Chu Lingque ran away directly.
“Sigh, this!”
The Vermilion Bird Emperor slapped his thigh, his eyes helpless as he watched Chu Lingque go far away.
Outside the Vermilion Bird Hall, Chu Yeran was dressed extraordinarily.
He was dressed in white, with an otherworldly temperament, waiting quietly.
Seeing Chu Lingque running happily towards him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a gentle smile. “Lingque, how was your day?”
He asked softly, his voice as gentle as jade.
Chu Lingque walked to Chu Yeran’s side with her hands behind her back. “It was okay. Father Emperor asked me about some things regarding the Lantern Festival.”
“Lingque is naturally intelligent. I believe Sister Lingque will definitely be able to complete the matters related to the Lantern Festival.”
Chu Yeran spoke gently and elegantly, giving people an indescribable comfort.
“Hehe, that’s nothing.”
“By the way, Brother Yeran… what fun things did you bring me today~”
“Hey! What is this?”
As Chu Lingque spoke, she suddenly ran behind Chu Yeran and grabbed his sleeve, pointing at the thing behind him and asking coquettishly.
Chu Yeran smiled dotingly and helplessly took out the sugar figure from behind him.
“I knew you were used to eating delicacies in the imperial palace. This is a snack I specially found in the folk of Tang’an City.”
“Try it and see if it suits your taste!”
The sugar figure in Chu Yeran’s hand was in the shape of a rabbit, which was Chu Lingque’s favorite animal.
“Wow!”
Chu Lingque happily took the rabbit-shaped sugar figure, opened her small, pink mouth, and bit off a large half of it.
“Eat slowly. Are you a little pig? No one is fighting with you…”
In the entire Vermilion Bird Imperial Palace, only Chu Yeran dared to speak to Chu Lingque like this, but Chu Lingque didn’t mind at all.
“Hmph, I eat more because it’s delicious!”
Chu Lingque finished the sugar figure in a few bites.
After eating, Chu Lingque and Chu Yeran strolled in the imperial garden of the imperial palace, chatting intermittently.
“Brother Yeran, why are you so good to me?”
“Because… you are my…” At this point, Chu Yeran dragged out his tone and stopped walking.
“What?”
Chu Lingque asked curiously.
In her heart, she actually didn’t understand what romantic love was. For Chu Lingque.
Chu Yeran was like a big brother who tried to make her happy every day. Everyone in the Vermilion Bird Imperial Palace was afraid of her.
Only Chu Yeran was not afraid, and he even played with her.
This relationship made her feel very comfortable.
And Chu Yeran also knew what Chu Lingque liked, and tried every day to find some unique things to give to Chu Lingque.
This made Chu Lingque really want to see Chu Yeran every day.
Not like, but expecting surprises.
But in Chu Yeran’s heart, he actually liked Chu Lingque very much. People outside said that only he was worthy of the Goddess Chu Lingque.
Chu Lingque’s appearance and divine bloodline made Chu Yeran’s heart flutter.
If he could unite with Chu Lingque, his Vermilion Bird bloodline would be even stronger.
But Chu Lingque didn’t have that thought at all, and only treated him as a brother now.
This distressed Chu Yeran, but fortunately, he was the man closest to Chu Lingque.
With this relationship, he was the most suitable person to match with Chu Lingque.
Take it slow.
“Because you are my sister who grew up with me.”
“If I’m not good to you, who should I be good to?”
Chu Yeran smiled slightly, and Chu Lingque enjoyed it very much.
“Good!”
“Besides Father Emperor, Brother Yeran is the person who treats me best…”
“By the way, Brother Yeran, do you want to see the Vermilion Bird Fluttering Dance I just learned?”
Chu Lingque’s proposal moved Chu Yeran very much.
“Sure, I’d love to!”
Not far from the two, the Vermilion Bird Emperor with a dark face was hiding behind a pillar and muttering.
“You brat, you’d better always treat her as a sister.”
“Your Majesty!”
A voice suddenly came from behind the Vermilion Bird Emperor, startling him.
In the Vermilion Bird Imperial Palace, he was too lazy to release his divine sense. As an emperor, hiding behind a pillar and peeking was really a bit embarrassing.
He pretended to be calm and turned to look at the Great Elder of the Vermilion Bird.
He saw that the Great Elder’s expression was completely opposite to his, looking at the backs of the two.
The Great Elder’s face was almost blooming with smiles, and his wrinkles looked much smoother.
It really felt like one was marrying off a daughter and the other was taking a wife.
“Why is the Great Elder wandering around the imperial palace when he has nothing to do?”
“Your Majesty, I came to find my disciple Chu Yeran, but seeing that he and the Goddess are chatting so well, I’m not in a hurry.”
The Vermilion Bird Emperor’s face darkened. You’re not in a hurry, but I am.
The Vermilion Bird Emperor gave a fake smile and said, “Great Elder, don’t look at how well they get along. Lingque is still young. For now, cultivation should be the priority. Matters of love are not urgent.”
The Great Elder smiled. “Your Majesty, rest assured. Yeran is also dedicated to the Dao. He just gets along well with the Goddess and enhances their friendship.”
The corner of the Vermilion Bird Emperor’s mouth twitched. I won’t believe your nonsense.
Forget it, he didn’t want to care so much anymore.
“Then you wait here. I have to go back and deal with affairs first.”
“Respectfully sending off Your Majesty!”
The Vermilion Bird Emperor flicked his long sleeves and left the place.
