About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of the inn room.
Ruolan hurried to open the door.
She saw Zhou Hong at the door.
"You're finally back, I was really afraid you wouldn't come back," Ruolan said with a happy face upon seeing Zhou Hong.
"Why would you think that?" Zhou Hong said speechlessly.
"I don't know anyone here. If you abandon me, what will I do alone?"
"Speechless, you are a cultivator in the late stage of tribulation, how many people on this continent are your match?" Zhou Hong wiped a cold sweat, but then he thought about it. She entered that immortal mansion at the age of six and grew up alone, with no social experience at all, which is why she was like a child, afraid that Zhou Hong would abandon her.
"But...!" Ruolan didn't know what to say.
"Alright, it's okay, I understand. Don't worry, I won't abandon you."
"Mhm, thank you."
Zhou Hong immediately took out Du Gu Shuang's clothes and asked Ruolan to change into them quickly.
After changing, Zhou Hong took Ruolan to the street. Ruolan truly looked like she had never seen the world before, looking around curiously at everything.
"Ruolan, will you be my wife?" After strolling on the street for a while, Zhou Hong looked at Ruolan's graceful figure and swallowed his saliva.
"Ah!" Ruolan's face instantly turned red, and she quickly lowered her head.
"Hehe, do you know what a wife is?" Zhou Hong asked.
"I do, just like my father and mother."
"It seems you're not stupid."
Ruolan couldn't help but glare at Zhou Hong, "You're the stupid one. I just haven't been exposed to the outside world since I was young, so I don't know many things."
"Then what do you think? Otherwise, if we are alone together every day, people will gossip."
"Okay, I have no objections," Ruolan nodded, looking very shy. Zhou Hong was the first man she had met after growing up, and Zhou Hong was also quite handsome.
"Then it's settled, you are my wife from now on."
"Mhm," Ruolan nodded shyly.
Zhou Hong immediately took her hand.
But for some reason, Zhou Hong suddenly felt an inexpressible sense of crisis in his heart.
"Grandpa, why do I suddenly feel uneasy, as if some disaster is about to strike?" Zhou Hong quickly asked his past life grandpa in his mind.
"When did you notice it?"
"I had this feeling after I came out of the immortal mansion before, but it wasn't so strong then. But just now, when I asked Ruolan to be my wife, I suddenly felt a very strong sense of crisis."
"Oh no." Zhou Hong's past life grandpa's expression changed.
"What's wrong?"
"This woman is probably a lonely star of destruction."
"What do you mean?"
"A lonely star of destruction. Anyone who is connected to her will be affected, leading to continuous misfortune. I understand now why her father sealed her in the immortal mansion and then sent the immortal mansion to the mortal world, because she is a lonely star of destruction. Her father was probably harmed by her."
Zhou Hong was immediately ashamed.
"Grandpa, isn't this feudal superstition?"
"My good grandson, would I lie to you? Why was her father, who was fine, betrayed and killed by his brother? Wasn't it because he was implicated by the lonely star of destruction? No wonder they sealed her in the immortal mansion. It was to avoid implicating others anymore."
Zhou Hong felt bewildered. Such a beautiful woman was called a lonely star of destruction.
"Zhou Hong, get away from her quickly. Preferably, trick her into the immortal mansion and bury the immortal mansion deep underground again."
"Grandpa, don't be so cruel. She's just a harmless girl who doesn't know anything." Zhou Hong directly refused.
"Silly child, if you continue to stay with her, you will be plagued by bad luck, nothing will go smoothly, and in the end, your life will be in danger. You just said yourself that after you asked her to be your wife, this feeling became stronger. Grandpa is not scaring you. Otherwise, Grandpa is truly worried that you might lose your life."
"But what's the principle behind this?" Zhou Hong also became anxious.
"Grandpa doesn't know the principle either. Anyway, in this world, there are always people with special constitutions. Some people are born with an unlucky constitution, but such people do not implicate others, they just have a lot of misfortune in their lives. Some people are born malicious stars; they themselves are fine, but they often implicate those around them. Some people are born with noble destiny, and those who are with them can turn misfortune into good fortune. Of course, most people in this world have ordinary constitutions, because people with special constitutions are very rare. This girl has a naturally malicious star constitution. Anyone who is with her will not live long. Her own father abandoned her, why do you have to pick her up?"
Zhou Hong was speechless. "Grandpa, how do you know she was abandoned by her father? Her father was just afraid she would be killed by his enemies, so he brought her here."
"Silly child, I felt something was wrong before. Even if her father was betrayed by his best brother, he wouldn't have to lock his own daughter in an immortal mansion and then throw her into the mortal world. As an immortal, her father couldn't possibly not know that his daughter might never be able to get out. There is only one explanation: he directly killed his daughter, but he couldn't bear to, so he abandoned her in this way."
Zhou Hong glanced at Ruolan beside him. She was still foolishly unaware of everything, and Zhou Hong felt some sympathy.
"My good grandson, quickly find an excuse to trick her into the immortal mansion, and then bury it deep underground again, letting her fend for herself. As long as she hasn't become an immortal, she can't get out. However, she has already passed the tribulation, and becoming an immortal is inevitable." Zhou Hong's grandfather sighed. When Ruolan's biological father sealed her in the immortal mansion, he must have known that his daughter would never be able to come out because she could not receive the lightning tribulation in the immortal mansion. Indeed, she was abandoned.
Zhou Hong was very conflicted at the moment. He couldn't bear to trick such a beautiful and cute woman into the immortal mansion and bury her deep underground again. Moreover, she had just agreed to be his wife, which was too scummy.
"Grandpa, I don't believe in any lonely stars of destruction in this world." Zhou Hong hesitated for a moment and decided to ignore these messy things.
"Silly boy, as a former Immortal King, would I lie to you? Even immortals can't resist a lonely star of destruction, how can you, a cultivator, resist it?"
"Anyway, I really can't do such a thing right now."
No matter how Zhou Hong's grandfather persuaded him, Zhou Hong was unwilling to trick Ruolan into the immortal mansion and bury her.
"Zhou Hong, what's wrong? Your face looks a bit bad?" At this moment, Ruolan also noticed Zhou Hong's abnormality, stopped quickly, and looked at Zhou Hong with confusion.
