The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

Chapter 117: Chapter 60: Heaven’s Chosen Ones

Tianmiao and Ye Chenfeng had just returned to the Canglang Sect when the Sect Leader sent someone to call Ye Chenfeng to the main hall, saying there was important business to discuss.

Tianmiao, however, went to find Yinglong, bringing him a lot of specialties to give him first.

When she found Yinglong, he was basking in the sun.

As soon as he saw Tianmiao, Yinglong jumped up.

”Tiantian!” Yinglong greeted her joyfully.

”Living quite a leisurely life, huh.” Tianmiao sat down next to him, patting the stone steps to signal Yinglong to sit down too.

”Ah, life should be like this.” Yinglong sat beside her, chuckling.

”For you.” Tianmiao handed over a storage bag.

Yinglong took it and used his Divine Sense to inspect it, wagging his tail: ”Tiantian still treats me well.”

”From now on, you’ll have to work a bit harder,” Tianmiao suddenly said.

Yinglong put away the storage bag and looked up at the sky, his face no longer playful.

”It’s not hard, just that from now on, it’ll always just be me.” Yinglong’s voice lowered.

Tianmiao said nothing, just listened quietly.

”That old bastard always joked that if he left, there wouldn’t be anyone nagging me,” Yinglong gritted his teeth, ”In the end, he really left me behind.”

Tianmiao knew that the person Yinglong spoke of was the founding ancestor of the Canglang Sect, Yinglong’s contract holder, and also his confidant, or perhaps his troublesome friend? That person had passed away many years ago. However, he lived forever in Yinglong’s heart, in the hearts of the disciples of the Canglang Sect.

”With no one to nag, at first, it felt quite peaceful,” Yinglong’s voice became softer, ”but later, it felt too quiet...”

”It turns out that the one left behind is the loneliest...”

Yinglong’s voice gradually became barely audible.

Yinglong fell silent, sitting there in a daze, looking at the sky.

Tianmiao also said nothing, quietly staying by his side.

Who knows how much time passed before Yinglong finally stood up and chuckled, ”Tiantian, don’t worry about me, I’m really fine! I still have to watch over this Canglang Sect for that old bastard, for a long, long time.”

Tianmiao smiled slightly, also stood up, reached out, and patted Yinglong’s head.

”Do a good job, before I leave, I’ll give you a gift as a reward.” Tianmiao’s voice was soft and ethereal.

”Okay, okay. I want lots of delicious food,” Yinglong said, delighted.

Tianmiao smiled without speaking, patting Yinglong’s shoulder and turning to head toward the main hall.

On the way, the voices of Kong Hou and Dong Xiao sounded in Tianmiao’s ears.

”Boss, does Yinglong miss his former master?”

”You shouldn’t call them master; they were equal partners, more like friends,” Dong Xiao said.

”Yes, he must miss him a lot,” Tianmiao replied softly.

”Hmph, I don’t understand! Human lifespans are short by nature, yet they become friends with humans, isn’t that courting suffering?” Kong Hou snorted coldly.

”That’s why I can’t understand their feelings for humans,” Dong Xiao said softly. The Qilin last time and now Yinglong, their complex and deep feelings for humans, he couldn’t comprehend at all.

Tianmiao listened to the dragon and phoenix’s conversation, smiling silently without saying anything.

Why are humans called the spirits of all things? One day, when Kong Hou and Dong Xiao understand this, perhaps they will understand.

By the time she reached the main hall, the discussions were almost over.
