Chapter 42

Yu Huan greeted Ruan Shengfeng and Xia Fushui, and invited them to follow him into the welcoming temple.

Ruan Shengfeng nodded happily, put down Ruan Dongdong from his shoulders, and let Ruan Dongdong walk by himself.

Xia Fushui turned her head and glanced at Linli. Seeing that Linli's face turned pale and blue, she immediately lost interest in mocking her. She put her arm around Ruan Shengfeng's arm, brushed her hair, restrained her arrogant and tough demeanor, and walked away gracefully.

Ruan Qiuping stopped thinking and was led by Yu Huan towards the street in a daze.

"Brother!" Ruan Dongdong stretched out her little hand and looked at Ruan Qiuping expectantly, "Brother, hold my hand!"

Ruan Qiuping suddenly realized that he and Yu Huan were holding hands, and hurriedly pulled his hand out of Yu Huan's.

Yu Huan paused for a moment, turned to look at Ruan Qiuping, and said with an apologetic look on his face: "Sorry."

Ruan Qiuping scratched his head gently, still feeling a little uncomfortable with Yu Huan like this: "It's okay."

Ruan Dongdong was upset again when she saw that Ruan Qiuping didn't pick her up immediately. She stamped her feet and said, "Brother, please hold my hand! Brother, you hold hands with the little brothers on earth, and you hold hands with the big brothers in heaven, why don't you hold hands with me?"

A little brother from the mortal world

Yu Huan turned and glanced at Ruan Qiuping.

"What do you mean by little brother from the mortal world?" Ruan Shengfeng scratched his head and said in confusion, "Son, have you ever met a mortal?"

Ruan Qiuping was about to explain when he heard Ruan Dongdong say, "Yes! I saw it with my own eyes! That mortal brother was so annoying! Not only did he hug my brother, he also kissed him!"

Ruan Qiuping's face changed: "... Dongdong, if you say that, people will misunderstand you."

Sure enough, Xia Fushui frowned, and Ruan Shengfeng said tremblingly: "Dongdong... Don't talk nonsense, what do you know as a child? You must have seen it wrong!"

"Son, explain quickly!" Ruan Shengfeng glanced at Jishen again and winked at Ruan Qiuping in a hurry.

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

Ruan Qiuping subconsciously glanced at Yu Huan on his right. Yu Huan looked at him with a dark look in his eyes, his aura was quite low, and there was a hint of inquiry and doubt in his eyes.

… It turned out that he really didn't remember anything. He just saw Yu Huan protecting him like that and taking the initiative to hold his hand… Even though his wisdom told him that Yu Huan had no memory left, he still held on to a little hope in his heart.

Ruan Qiuping lowered his eyes and said, "It's a child."

"He's not a kid!" Ruan Dongdong said angrily, "That little brother is already six years old! He's grown up! And he wants to snatch my brother from me!!"

Ruan Shengfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He's a six-year-old kid, that's fine.

Ruan Shengfeng found that Yu Huan's expression had relaxed a little, and he returned to his original gentle and jade-like appearance of a banished immortal.

In order to prevent his daughter from saying anything more, Ruan Shengfeng quickly picked up Ruan Dongdong and carried him on his shoulders and ran towards the house: "Let's go, Dad will take you flying!"

Xia Fushui glanced at Ruan Qiuping thoughtfully, then followed Ruan Shengfeng to the outside.

Suddenly, only Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan were left there.

In fact, Ruan Qiuping wanted to do many things. For example, he wanted to take a good look at Yu Huan's right leg. He wanted to rush over and give Yu Huan a hug. He wanted to cry with Yu Huan in his arms, laugh with Yu Huan in his arms, and kiss Yu Huan's forehead fiercely: "Yu Huan, look, you have become younger. Besides, you won't have to wait for me anymore!"

…But these are the things he wanted to do to the mortal Yu Huan.

It’s not the one in front of you, the lucky god Yu Huan who has lost his memory.

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head, feeling the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he had no choice but to ask, "Are you really going to marry me?"

Yu Huan turned to look at him and asked, "Don't you want to?"

"I don't want to, but there's no other way. I can't survive those forty-nine heavenly thunders..." Ruan Qiuping muttered softly.

But he soon realized that his words were inappropriate, and quickly explained: "I'm not saying I don't want to marry you, I just..."

Ruan Qiuping touched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "... I just feel a little uncomfortable and a little weird. After all, this is the first time we met today."

At least for Ji Shen now, it was indeed the first time they met.

"It's not the first time." Yu Huan said.

"Ah?" Ruan Qiuping blinked.

"Three months ago, I met you once at Fuhuamen." Yu Huan lowered his eyes, his tone a little depressed, "Don't you remember?"

Three months of Vanity Fair, three months of…

Ruan Qiuping suddenly remembered and opened his eyes wide: "You are the jade pendant?!"

Seeing that Ruan Qiuping remembered, Yu Huan finally laughed: "Yes, it's me."

No wonder he felt that Xiao Yuhuan looked indescribably familiar when he saw him.

It turned out that the man didn't dare to touch him because he was holding the jade pendant of the god of luck, but because he was the god of luck and had the jade pendant of the god of luck, so he didn't care about talking to him at all.

But... Is Yu Huan in heaven such a self-familiar person? The first time he saw him, he touched him, and the second time he saw him, he directly held his hand.

Isn't it said that the gods of good fortune avoid noise and prefer quietness, are cold and distant, and are extremely unwilling to get close to people

How come this is different from what was rumored

"Thank you for the jade pendant." Ruan Qiuping thanked him earnestly. "After my sister put it on, her luck improved a lot. She rarely has even minor bumps and bumps."

"That's good." Yu Huan said, "But the good fortune on it should have almost dissipated. I just happen to have a jade pendant here. If you don't mind, you can take it."

After saying that, he handed the blue-white jade pendant hanging on his waist to Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping hesitated: "Today is your big day, how can you dress bald without any accessories?"

"That's easy. How about you give me the accessory on your waist?"

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head to glance at the accessory on his waist. It was the jade ring that he won when little Yuhuan was seven years old.

Ruan Qiuping couldn't bear to part with anyone else, not even Yu Huan himself.

Ruan Qiuping subconsciously pushed the jade ring back and said, "I just bought this at a stall, it's not worth much. Your jade is good at first glance, I don't want to take advantage of you."

Yu Huan said: "In this kind of thing, the value before purchase is measured by the price, and the value after purchase is all based on taste. I like this jade, so you are not taking advantage of me."

Ruan Qiuping wanted to say that he didn't want to change, but he was afraid that saying so would make him seem too fussy.

So he had no choice but to lower his head and slowly take off the jade pendant and hand it over, his voice a little dull: "... Since you find this jade attractive, I'll give it to you."

… Really, how can you give something to someone and then take it back

Forget it, at worst I can just wait until Yu Huan has finished drinking the Love Recalling Soup and then take the jade back.

But Ruan Qiuping's hands were sore from holding them up, and he didn't wait for Yu Huan to take the jade from his hand.

Ruan Qiuping looked up in confusion, but saw Yu Huan gently lowered his eyelids and put the jade in his hand into Ruan Qiuping's palm, but did not take away Ruan Qiuping's jade.

Yu Huan's tone sank: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take away someone else's possessions. It's just that I didn't know this jade was so important to you."

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his reluctance would be so obvious that Yu Huan could tell at a glance that he didn't want to change the jade.

Ruan Qiuping looked at the two pieces of jade in his hand, and seemed to be a little entangled: "Then your jade..."

"Take it first, and you can exchange it for another one from me later."

Ruan Qiuping clenched the two pieces of jade in his hands and said seriously: "I will definitely give you a better one in the future."

"Okay." Yu Huan laughed.

He was clearly smiling, but the moment he turned around and walked away, the smile in his eyes faded.

Who gave me that piece of jade

Ruan Qiuping put his hands behind his back and said as he walked towards the temple: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. Congratulations on your successful tribulation, and congratulations on your upcoming deification."

"Thank you." Yu Huan said politely.

However, Ruan Qiuping was indeed somewhat curious about how much he had forgotten, so he tentatively said, "I heard that going through the tribulation was very difficult. It's amazing that you managed to persevere."

"It's okay." Yu Huan paused and lowered his eyes slightly, "It's just that I don't remember anything."

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Yu Huan meant: "... You don't remember anything? But I heard that the love water you drink after going through a catastrophe only makes you forget love, not other things."

Ruan Qiuping only goes there once a year, and Yu Huan drank the love potion, which should only erase the memory of one day a year. How could he forget everything

"It's not like I don't remember it at all." Yu Huan said, "I still remember what happened when I was five years old."

Five years old...

Ruan Qiuping paused.

The first time he saw little Yuhuan, he was five years old.

The love water can only make people forget love. Yu Huan drank three cups of the love water, but lost all his memories after meeting him.

"But the King of Hell explained this to me." Yu Huan sighed helplessly, "I heard that it was an operational error that caused me to drink too much Forgetfulness Water. This Forgetfulness Water is a modified Mengpo Soup. If you take too much, you will naturally forget other memories."

"Then why did he let you consume an excessive amount of Forgetfulness Water? Could it be... could it be because you had an unforgettable love in the mortal world?" Ruan Qiuping asked tentatively.

"No way." Yu Huan answered firmly.

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

Yu Huan said in a gentle tone: "Ordinary immortals who have gone through tribulations will feel dizzy for a while after drinking the Love Potion, and will forget their love after waking up. But the King of Hell said that he only asked me to drink two more bowls because he saw that my body had no reaction after drinking the Love Potion."

"The King of Hell has never encountered a situation like mine. He said that at first he thought it was the Love Potion that didn't work, but later he realized that maybe it was because I had never fallen in love in the mortal world, so a bowl of Love Potion had no effect on me."

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

That King of Hell must be trying to trick you.

He had heard from the soldier that the King of Hell knew that the mortal Yu Huan did not want to forget the affairs of this world and even refused to drink the Love Potion, so how could he not have fallen in love in the mortal world

Ruan Qiuping was silent for a while, then asked, "… Have you ever thought that maybe the first bowl of love water had no effect on you, maybe it was because you were too deeply attached to your love in the mortal world?"

Yu Huan turned to look at Ruan Qiuping, his eyes slightly tinged with smile: "I will not fall in love in the mortal world. I am still confident of this. My fiancé does not need to worry about it."

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

Really? I don't believe it.
