Chapter 624: 314: Devouring the holy relic?_2

Yan Nai’er stated with certainty, "Fen Mo, Suo Lun is my love, my husband. I can clearly feel that he’s still alive."

Fen Mo didn’t say anything more. After bowing, he withdrew.

When Yan Nai’er was alone in the room, all her strength seemed to dissipate, and she slumped into the chair behind her as tears surged from her eyes.

...

Inside the residence of the City Lord of Tianshui City.

It was almost midnight.

"Suo Qin, why won’t you sleep?" Fu Yan’er said angrily.

The past few months had been the happiest time for her.

She was once again living a life of luxury, a life of silver and gold, superior to others.

In the City Lord’s residence, there were servants like clouds, and she enjoyed endless glory and wealth.

Everything she used, from food to clothing, was exquisite and luxurious.

What delighted her most was that the other two wives of Suo Lun were not in the residence. Princess Zhuyan had been at the royal palace all this time, while Yan Nai’er was basically at the military camp, only returning to the City Lord’s residence every few days to dine and talk with Suo Ningbing.

Therefore, after initially being cautious, Fu Yan’er found that her sister-in-law Suo Ningbing was very gentle and easy to talk to, so she gradually began to manage the servants and maids in the City Lord’s residence, and started to behave like the mistress of the house.

Her daughter Fu Qinqin, after arriving in Tian Shui City, changed her name to Suo Qin and was directly included in the Suo Family genealogy.

Not only that, but as the currently only child of Suo Lun, Qinqin was doted upon tremendously by both Suo Ningbing and Yan Nai’er. She was almost always accompanied by Suo Ningbing herself, who taught her reading and painting every day.

Yan Nai’er also often came to teach Qinqin swordsmanship.

Even Queen Yan Chuo, who was usually not in the main city, came back several times specifically to bring various rare gifts for Qinqin.

And the happiest of all was Princess Yan Xue’er, Suo Lun’s half-sister. Her mind had remained that of a child about ten years old. She barely understood what it meant to become an aunt and saw Qinqin as a playmate, spending all day playing with her without any sense of formality.

These were supposed to be incredibly sweet and happy times.

But everything changed from twenty-something days ago.

The whole of Tian Shui City was overshadowed because Suo Lun, who should have returned, did not.

Everyone forced smiles, and no one dared to mention that terrible word.

But both Yan Nai’er and Suo Ningbing had already lost a good deal of weight. Qinqin had seen several times with her own eyes that Aunt Suo Ningbing was crying and going whole days without food.

Although Qinqin was young, she understood everything. She knew her father was supposed to have returned by now, but he still hadn’t come back.

She didn’t know what to do, so she could only stay awake, staring with wide eyes, waiting for her father to return.

"My dear girl, go to sleep. When you open your eyes, your father will be back," Fu Yan’er coaxed her daughter.

Qinqin did not speak; she just sat on the bed, staring wide-eyed and refusing to sleep.

"Will you sleep or not? If you don’t sleep, Mommy will have to spank you," Fu Yan’er said, losing her temper.

But soon, she herself could not help it any longer and embraced her daughter, crying bitterly.

She did not know why she was crying, but she just couldn’t help feeling sad.

The entire City Lord’s residence, the whole of Tian Shui City, were enveloped in an almost despairing and terrifying shadow.

But no one believed Suo Lun was dead.

If Suo Lun had indeed died, then all his loved ones would be devastated, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.

...

On Pagoda Island in the West Sea of the Continent, inside the Butu Tower.

Because dragon power could not be used here, Princess Zhiyan had to exert the strength of nine bulls and two tigers to climb the ninety-nine floors and thousands of stairs, finally reaching the top of the Sky-reaching Pagoda.

At that moment, Suo Lun was still unconscious at the top. The frenzied Zhuang Zhixuan was still straddling him, completely indulging in debauchery.

Zhiyan could clearly hear that Zhuang Zhixuan had shuddered and convulsed four or five times already, but the desire inside her was still burning wildly.

If this continued, in less than a dozen or so hours, she would be burnt out and die like an exhausted lamp.

And Suo Lun would likely not escape such a fate either.

Zhiyan’s beautiful eyes widened as she stared intently at something at the top of the tower.

That must be the Dragon Mark artifact of the Butu Tower.

It was a stunning sphere of light and shadow!

Yes, it was a sphere of light and shadow, seemingly composed of spiritual power, yet also resembling a dream.

In any case, it was a living spiritual energy.

What this sphere of light and shadow was, no one in the world would know, but Zhiyan knew.

Because this was one of the Dragon Temple’s utmost secrets.

This sphere of light and shadow was known as the Dream of Degradation!

There are many types of Dragon Mark artifacts in the world—writings left by dragons, flames exhaled by dragons, tears shed by dragons, and so on.

The Dragon Mark artifact before her eyes was a dream of a dragon, a dream of degradation!

This Dream of Degradation was even regarded as one of the sources of destruction for the ancient civilization!

Of course, it’s not that the dream was so powerful that it directly destroyed the ancient civilization.

Instead, this dream represented the degradation of certain aspects of the dragon!

It is said that the ancient dragons were omnipotent, incredibly powerful, and the guardian gods of this world’s planes.

Furthermore, they were eternally noble, desiring nothing.

As the antithesis of light, the Dark Monarch demon, never ceased trying to emerge from the dark plane to devour and conquer this world.

But the darkness was never a match for the light, and the demon was never a match for the dragons. Over countless ages, it was always suppressed in the world’s shadows.

The demon, unable to directly confront the dragon, started to gradually tempt the dragon into degeneration.
