The moon was above the railing. The gentle moonlight was like a clear stream, quietly illuminating everything in the world.
In the small courtyard, Wang Hao was huffing and puffing as he cooked the roasted meat. The slices were as thin as cicada wings. One look and one could tell that it was his cutting skills.
"Hey, why should I make barbecue for you?”
Wang Hao sounded very dissatisfied.
Gu Ruohan chewed slowly and said slowly,"
"Because I am your king."
Wang Hao was completely speechless at his self-righteous words.'I'm going to be your servant just because I got the title of the cheap second king, right?'
Even though he was extremely dissatisfied, he could only bury his dissatisfaction in his heart when he saw the cracks on the bone spikes on Gu Ruohan's back that day when he was holding Liu Yunlan back.
"I remember…"
Suddenly, Wang Hao thought of something and asked while grilling,"
"You used to be human, right?"
Gu Ruohan paused for a moment before continuing to eat as if nothing had happened. He only nodded.
"When did you become a monster?" Wang Hao continued to ask.
"Five hundred years ago, he died and became a pile of bones…After that, he regained consciousness and began to cultivate.”
Gu Ruohan's voice was still extremely calm, as if he was talking about someone else's matters.
Wang Hao thought about it and finally asked,"
"How did you die back then?"
In fact, Wang Hao had already guessed the answer. Seeing the enmity between Gu Ruohan and Liu Yunlan, it should have something to do with this guy.
Sure enough, Gu Ruohan was silent for a while and slowly looked at the moonlight. The past seemed to have completely intoxicated her.
At that time, she was not yet sixteen years old. Her personality had been as cold as it was now since she was young, as if she was not interested in anything.
Just like the other girls, Gu Ruohan had also learned the four arts since young. She never stepped out of her house and was a well-educated and well-mannered girl.
Her father had been doing business all year round, and his family was relatively rich. He had not suffered much since he was young, and he had walked all the way here peacefully.
One day, his father returned home, covered in injuries. He was accompanied by a Daoist priest, and his frivolous appearance made Gu Ruohan very disgusted.
Her father told Gu Ruohan that he had arranged a marriage for her to marry the youngest son of the Zhenhai City Governor.
Everyone knew that the youngest son of the prefect was born a fool. Not only was he stupid, but his personality was also extremely irritable. He had beaten more than one or two servants to death.
Hearing that his father was going to push him into the fire pit, Gu Ruohan felt like he had been struck by lightning. He hid in his boudoir and swore to never marry.
Later, she heard from her mother that her father owed the City Lord a lot of money because of gambling. It was so much that it was impossible to pay it off in this lifetime.
The Taoist priest beside the City Lord did a divination for him. He said that if he married Gu Ruohan, he would definitely have a meteoric rise in his career and smooth sailing in the future.
Hence, the City Lord told Gu Ruohan's father that if he married his daughter over, he would be exempted from his debts and give him a sum of retirement money to ensure that he would have no worries for the rest of his life.
Naturally, her father did not agree and was punished with a caning. He was even threatened that he had to agree to it and that he would come and raid the house and take Gu Ruohan away.
Gu Ruohan's father had no choice but to go home and discuss it with his daughter. The City Lord then sent the Taoist priest to accompany him. In the name of protection, he was actually monitoring him.
That Taoist priest was naturally the sect master of the White Cloud Monastery, Liu Yunlan.
Knowing the truth, Gu Ruohan and his mother hugged each other and cried bitterly. However, they had no choice but to nod and agree to their father's arrangement.
However, three days before the wedding, there was a sudden bad news. Gu Ruohan's mother could not bear to see her daughter in such a miserable state and committed suicide by jumping into a well.
Gu Ruohan held back his grief. When he examined the corpse, he found traces of a struggle on his mother's body. Her clothes were disheveled, and it did not look like a suicide at all.
Looking at the piece of Eight Trigrams in her hand, Gu Ruohan could tell that it was the one Liu Yunlan always wore.
The truth was self-evident. Gu Ruohan was extremely furious and told everything to his father. Unexpectedly, the next day, his father rushed up to the White Cloud Temple with a kitchen knife in his hand and argued with Liu Yun Lan.
He did not expect to be humiliated and beaten down the mountain. Unable to bear the humiliation, he also committed suicide by jumping into the well on the night he returned home.
Gu Ruohan, whose family was suddenly destroyed, was like dead ashes. That night, she climbed over the wall and escaped from Zhenhai City.
However, how could a weak woman outrun the pursuers behind her? When they arrived at an abandoned temple on Myriad Bone Mountain, Gu Ruohan finally could not run anymore.
He took out the white silk he carried with him and wrapped it around the beam of the abandoned temple. The sixteen year old Gu Ruohan hanged himself.
……
After hearing Gu Ruohan's story, Wang Hao was speechless for a long time. Looking at her calm appearance, he did not expect that there was such an unforgettable hatred.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you for helping me kill all the Taoist priests of the White Cloud Temple.”
Gu Ruohan nodded at Wang Hao, his face as calm as water."
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that even Myriad Bone Mountain would have been destroyed.”
Wang Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly."
"But in the end, the culprit, Liu Yun Lan, still managed to escape.”
Wang Hao suddenly thought of something and asked,
"By the way, why didn't you send troops to attack after such a long time?”
"Although Zhenhai City is a city, most of the people there should be ordinary people. The Taoist priests of the White Cloud Temple have almost been wiped out. Liu Yunlan is alone. This is a good opportunity for revenge.”
"Why wouldn't I want to?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Ruohan shook his head gently and said,"
"Under the Heavenly Court, the immortals in the sky only allow demons to settle down and cultivate diligently until they are ranked among the immortals…They become mounts under the immortals 'feet or immortal beasts guarding the door…"
"What?" Wang Hao was extremely shocked. This was the first time he had heard such a thing.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that in Journey to the West, the demons in the sky lived like animals. No wonder they wanted to steal the magic weapons of the immortals to the lower realm.
"If they dare to cause trouble…no demon can escape the pursuit of the Heavenly Court. Everyone who has contact with this demon will be implicated…"
Gu Ruohan's voice was bitter. His enemy was in Zhenhai City not far away, but he could not go.
" It's a taboo to attack a human town. Moreover, Liu Yun Lan has a close relationship with the Heavenly Court. I'm afraid that once I get there, the Heavenly troops will descend from the sky…"
Wang Hao didn't say anything. He remained silent.
In all honesty, he was not a saint who liked to meddle in other people's business. However, Gu Ruohan's temperament was too pleasing to Wang Hao. He really did not want to see Gu Ruohan end up like this.
However, Liu Yunlan was protected by the heavenly soldiers and generals. If he went, he would be courting death.
After being silent for a long time, Wang Hao sighed that he was still too weak. If he evolved to tier 7 or 8, he would be able to kill even the gods and buddhas in the sky, let alone the heavenly soldiers and generals.
He shook his head and said,"
"Give me some time…I'll avenge you!”
Gu Ruohan was stunned. He looked at Wang Hao in a daze as if he was meeting him for the first time.
In her impression, this python spirit had always been a symbol of cunning and lewdness. Now, it actually said such words.
The moonlight shone between the two of them, and the night breeze blew gently on Wang Hao's face. Gu Ruohan looked at his firm and confident red eyes and was momentarily dazed.
"No need. I will take revenge on my own!"
Without hesitation, Gu Ruohan, who had regained his senses, flatly rejected Wang Hao's good intentions.
Wang Hao was shocked, but he immediately shook his head with a bitter smile. This Gu Ruohan was stubborn to put it bluntly, but strong to put it nicely.
It was rare to see a woman who was stronger than most men in the world.
Wang Hao didn't say anything. Since Gu Ruohan had already decided, it wasn't appropriate for him to interfere.
He silently took out a medicine bottle from the Universe Bracelet and poured out a dusty pill. He handed it to Gu Ruohan and said,"
"This pill might be able to help you take revenge.”
