Chapter 748 What Happened That Year
Lu Yichen had been gone from the Divine World for ten thousand years after all, so there was still quite a lot he had to do. He was always busy with matters of the Divine World and simply couldn’t find the time to accompany Zhong Niangyao back to Qingqiu.
Thus, one day, after telling Lu Yichen, Zhong Niangyao went back to Qingqiu all by herself.
Although Lu Yichen was somewhat unhappy, he also understood it was his fault, so he didn’t try to stop her.
Once again returning to Qingqiu, she was warmly welcomed by all her subjects.
Unlike the Divine World, although Zhong Niangyao was the ruler of Qingqiu and a respected figure in the hearts of her people, she was a very easygoing person who didn’t care about hierarchy. Although sometimes capricious, that was all within normal limits.
Surrounded by everyone, Zhong Niangyao felt almost overwhelmed by their enthusiasm. Thus, when she finally returned to her residence, only Meng Die, the maid who had served her years ago, was still there.
Originally a small white rabbit, Meng Die had transformed into human form after cultivating and was fortunate to receive guidance from Zhong Niangyao, who happened to pass by. Without that guidance, she could have ended up merely as a rabbit spirit.
She had always been utterly loyal to Zhong Niangyao. Even though so many years had passed since Zhong Niangyao left, Meng Die stubbornly stayed in Qingqiu, waiting for her return.
Having waited for ten thousand years, the excitement Meng Die felt at Zhong Niangyao’s return was imaginable.
Seeing Meng Die trying not to cry, Zhong Niangyao chuckled, reached out to stroke Meng Die’s hair, and said with a smile, "I’m back now, aren’t you happy?"
