The group's beloved wife: She is the phoenix, she is the king

Chapter 697 Gradually Understanding

Having just arrived in this new place, it's only natural to do some research. — Prologue

Tan Ying is the ruler of this Frosty Realm.

He is the founder of the Rin Realm and is revered as the Supreme Being within the Rin Realm. Outsiders call him Emperor Jing Shuo.

The exact time when Rinkai rose to prominence is unknown.

Below Tan Ying were officials from all walks of life and citizens of the Lin Realm.

Officials handled the basic affairs of the realm, both large and small, internally, and externally, they practiced medicine to help the people and ensure their well-being.

Because of its long history and Tan Ying's low-key nature, few people know about the existence of the Rin Realm, let alone find its entrance.

However, not just anyone can freely enter and leave the Rin Realm; the Falling Rise alone is enough to intercept many people.

In the Realm of Rin, there is an established saying: "If Luo Sheng falls on a person, it causes their skin to fester, indicating heresy and evil; it causes their body to appear dark, indicating wickedness; it causes their body to become distorted, indicating grave sins..."

Naturally, anyone who encountered these phenomena was killed on the spot by Luo Sheng.

Those who are nourished and cared for by Luo Sheng will have the opportunity to reside in the Lin Realm and become its citizens.

As for those who need to leave the Rin Realm, they naturally need a pass or something similar; otherwise, they will most likely not be able to return to the Rin Realm after leaving.

The token is naturally unique to each person, and outsiders cannot obtain it by killing and robbing; on the contrary, they will be executed by the token.

As for the entire area of ​​the Rin Realm, it is vast and boundless, mainly containing four major cities, twelve districts, thirty-six towns, and seventy-two villages.

They were currently in Qiuxing City, the largest of the four main cities.

As for the palaces they see now, Shunyi Palace is an important place for daily government affairs, court audiences, banquets, and other important events, while Qianxu Palace is a place where extremely important guests can stay.

Since its establishment, it has only entertained guests once.

Moon Palace was where Tan Ying lived daily.

As for the mammoth that carried Fan Nuoxi and Dongfang Junyan in earlier, it was Tan Ying's mount and also her weapon, named Tang Li.

Fan Nuoxi and the others listened to what the immortal servants said, each with their own thoughts.

Outside the window, as if to confirm something, some falling leaves drifted in, landing on them and shimmering with a few colorful lights.

It wasn't until Nian'an brought more people that the celestial attendants reluctantly stopped their introductions and bowed in greeting.

Nian An glanced indifferently at the other celestial servants, who immediately became obedient.

"My Lord, His Majesty invites you and your two distinguished guests to dine at the Moon Palace."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Nian'an." Fan Nuoxi stood up and turned her gaze away from the celestial servants.

As soon as the group left, the celestial servants quickly returned to their previous lively selves, gathering together and chattering away.

"The divine messenger is so beautiful, and speaks so gently. I never expected that she would come to visit our Realm of Cold!"

"The other two distinguished guests also seem to be extraordinary. That young master seems to be the Divine Envoy's partner, as he rarely takes his eyes off the Divine Envoy."

"That little girl is so cute! My heart melts the moment she opens her mouth. Even her name is adorable, I think it's called Tuanzi."

"Today I heard from the people of Shunyi Palace that our Venerable One held the Divine Envoy on her throne and laughed many times!"

"The divine messenger is so handsome, I'd want to hug him too!"

"Go away, go away! The Divine Envoy is not someone anyone can touch! As for you, don't try to take care of the Divine Envoy like I do in the future!"

"I think you just want more of those fruits that the Divine Envoy gave us!"

"No!"

"No! I want to be the Divine Messenger's first celestial attendant!"

"..."

……

Moon Palace.

Tan Ying, who was pacing back and forth in the dining hall, noticed Fan Nuoxi and the others and walked out nonchalantly, saying, "You've arrived!"

"You came because you wanted to see us, didn't you? —" Fan Nuoxi reached out and brushed a stray strand of hair from Tan Ying's ear that had fallen loose as she hurried out. "Have you been waiting long?"

After doing all this, Fan Nuoxi stiffened slightly and withdrew her hand somewhat awkwardly.

Strange, why do I do these things so naturally?

Tan Ying, however, was quite pleased. "I just got back a little while ago. Come and eat, lest you starve..."

“Although I don’t have any human food here, eating these will help you adapt to this place better,” Tan Ying said, pulling Fan Nuoxi to sit down beside her.

Fan Nuoxi looked at the delicious but unnamed flowers still on the table and smiled slightly. "If you want to eat human food, I have quite a few here."

Tan Ying subconsciously swallowed, her mind already recalling the taste of the dessert she had previously enjoyed.

"Really...really?"

“But… Yingying can’t eat that much…” Tan Ying looked conflicted.

When she returned, she heard that Fan Nuoxi had generously rewarded many people, which made her quite envious.

“Then I can’t just stay here for nothing, can I? Consider it my way of doing my part for the people of the Lin Realm.” Fan Nuoxi flicked her finger, and a storage bracelet appeared on the table.

Upon hearing this, Tan Ying's eyes immediately reddened. Trembling, she picked up the storage bracelet, feeling the vast amount of food inside. Her voice trembled as she said, "Master, I... I thank you on behalf of the people of the Lin Realm..."

Although people like them have long since stopped eating, the naturally growing food in the Realm of Lin is not inexhaustible. Without food supplies, they might not be able to survive indefinitely, especially given the current catastrophic changes, which will naturally affect the Realm of Lin as well.

I just didn't expect Fan Nuoxi to be so decisive...

How can Tan Ying remain unmoved?

"Alright, it's time to eat. I remember you said before that these should be eaten as soon as possible, so that they will be better for your health..." Fan Nuoxi served Tan Ying a bowl of flower soup and changed the subject.

Tan Ying felt a warmth in her heart, her eyes reddening as she looked at Fan Nuoxi, everything understood without words.

After dinner, in the courtyard.

"Yingying, why do they all call me Divine Messenger?"

Seeing the celestial attendants in the courtyard bowing and dispersing, Fan Nuoxi asked.

Tuanzi looked at Tan Ying with curiosity after hearing this.

"This..." Tan Ying blushed slightly when asked this question, "When my master took me in, he told me that I was an envoy sent by the gods to save me..."

"So...it's not wrong for them to call you Divine Envoy..."

Fan Nuoxi gave an awkward twitch of her lips, "So... that's how it is..."

Is this what they call "the predecessors planting rice seedlings, but she, the successor, reaping the harvest"?

However, judging from Qu Kuo and Tan Ying's attitude towards him, they were not at all shy, so the person they were grateful to must be someone much better than themselves.

Good people don't live long.

However, she did not intend to do anything against her principles simply because of past favors.

"Is Master comfortable here? If not, Yingying, please instruct them to do things according to Master's preferences," Tan Ying said cautiously, noticing Fan Nuoxi's ambiguous expression.

Could it be that the owner doesn't like being called that?

But what if someone bullies the owner if we don't do this?

"Yingying, you've done enough," Fan Nuoxi gently held Tan Ying's slightly sweaty hand. "Besides, we're just guests to the Lin Realm, so we should just go along with the host's arrangements. Why should we make demands of you?"

"The host isn't the guest!" Tan Ying seized the opportunity to throw herself into Fan Nuoxi's arms, her expression a mix of grievance and stubbornness. "You're the most important person to Yingying! Yingying doesn't want you to be unhappy here..."

“Then I can’t just take your kindness for granted—” Fan Nuoxi gently patted Tan Ying’s shoulder and coaxed her softly, “Besides, the situation is still uncertain. Even if we’re happy, it’s just finding joy in hardship.”

"But you, you came back from your trip today looking very worried. Did you encounter something troublesome?"

Tan Ying lifted her head from Fan Nuoxi's embrace, her eyes filled with struggle. "The situation outside is even worse."

"The place I saw with my master," Tan Ying thought, instinctively gripping Fan Nuoxi's sleeve as she recalled what she had witnessed, "for some reason, the ice and snow melted, and all the creatures that were frozen there vanished, replaced by a bottomless abyss."

“There seems to be something in the abyss. Even if you’re not nearby, you can hear some strange roars. The sounds are like weeping and wailing, yet they are also deafening.”

"Therefore, Master, it would be best if you stayed in the Realm of Coldness and did not leave recently."

At this point, Tan Ying gripped Fan Nuoxi's sleeve even tighter, and her body began to tremble.
