The frozen door slowly opened, and the cold air poured out from the hall. Four ice pillars stood in the four directions of the ten-foot-high hall, and a huge crystal-clear ice ball floated in the center.

In the big snowball, a woman in a corset was curled up and trapped in it. Her hair was loose and her eyes were closed, as if she was sleeping soundly. However, when the visitor's boots stepped into the hall, her eyes suddenly opened and she looked at the visitor with sharp eyes.

"Your Highness." The black-clothed messenger knelt on one knee and kowtowed. "Your subordinate has been ordered to come to lift the king's house arrest order."

After saying that, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, uncorked it, and sprinkled the blood in the bottle on the ground. In an instant, the four ice pillars glowed brightly, and the central ball slowly melted.

When the ice ball melted to half the size of a person, the light in the hall stopped, and the ice ball seemed to lose its support in an instant, and fell heavily to the ground, stirring up the ice and snow that had been deposited on the ground for who knows how many years.

Having been frozen for too long, Shen Li's limbs were still a little stiff.

She pushed away the ice fragments still covering her body with great effort, opened the hand of the black-clothed messenger who came forward to help her, and slowly stood up: "I have been sealed in the Snow Sacrifice Hall, but you still call it house arrest?"

The Snow Sacrifice Hall is a forbidden place in the Immortal Realm Realm. Like the Xutian Abyss guarded by the Immortal Realms, it is a place to suppress extremely powerful monsters.

However, it is different from the Xutian Abyss. The spell power sealed in the Snow Sacrifice Hall is stronger than that in the Xutian Abyss, but it can only seal one monster.

For thousands of years, the powerful monsters in the Immortal Realm Realm have either been sealed in the Xutian Abyss or killed. Therefore, the Snow Sacrifice Hall has been vacant.

Shen Li had never dreamed that she would be sealed in it one day, and she never thought that the marriage certificate in the heaven would put so much pressure on the Immortal Realm Lord, making him so worried that she would run away from marriage again. Shen Li flexed her wrists, stepped over the broken ice at her feet, and walked towards the gate, half dissatisfied and half sarcastic, "The wedding procession from the heaven is here? They finally let me go."

The black-clothed messenger followed her and answered respectfully, "The prince is anxious. The wedding still needs a month to prepare."

Shen Li was startled and turned to ask him, "How long have I been imprisoned?" She still remembered the day she was captured and brought back to the Immortal Realm world. The Immortal Realm king gave an order and she was imprisoned in the Snow Sacrifice Hall, but no one told her how long she would be imprisoned. She didn't know the time in the snowball. One day or one year made no difference to her.

The messenger replied, "The Immortal Realm king was kind-hearted and only imprisoned the prince for one month."

One month... It's been thirty days.

Stepping out of the Snow Sacrifice Hall, the huge stone door slammed shut behind her. Shen Li looked up and saw a man in black standing quietly not far away. When he saw her come out, he bowed his head and saluted. Shen Li didn't expect Mofang to come. While she was stunned, Mofang had already said to the black-clothed messenger: "I will send the king back."

"In that case, I will go back and report."

After the black-clothed messenger disappeared, Mofang lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on one knee: "Mofang failed to help the king escape, please punish me."

Shen Li was stunned, then smiled and patted Mofang on the shoulder: "Let's get going. I know you must have tried your best. You fought for that half a day for me. If I wanted to escape, it would be enough... but I couldn't escape at that time. The fault is all mine, and I have let you down."

"Your Majesty..."

"Let's go, go back to the mansion." Shen Li stretched, "I haven't been home to sleep for a long time."

"Your Majesty, Mofang has something to say." He was silent for a long time, and finally said, "That mortal has died in the lower world."

"Yeah." Shen Li responded, "I guessed it."

One day in heaven is one year on earth, and thirty years have passed. Xingyun is just a mortal body, and it is only natural that he has died of old age. Moreover, if Xingyun had not passed away, how could the Immortal Realm King let her out so easily? The king who raised her knew her temper too well.

"Go back." Shen Li took two steps and suddenly looked back at Mofang, "Did you see him when he died?"

Mofang nodded: "Very peaceful and serene."

"Of course, because he is Xingyun." No matter how bad things are, they are nothing in his eyes. Shen Li's lips curled up slightly: "He should still be smiling."

Mofang was silent for a moment, remembering that when he saw Xingyun for the last time in the lower world, he was lying on the sickbed. Although he was old, he still had the same demeanor. He looked at him and said, "Ah, Shen Li's subordinate." He was weak and out of breath. He took three breaths after saying these words, and then continued, "How is Shen Li these days?"

Mofang did not answer him at that time, and Xingyun did not continue to ask, but just looked at him and smiled, and closed his eyes to rest.

He is indeed an indifferent person, but such a person has always kept the king in his heart and hidden it for more than 30 years. Mofang did not want to tell Shen Li about this, so he only asked: "Will the king look for him in the next life?" "No."

Shen Li stepped on the cloud and said without looking back, "I only like Xingyun. It has nothing to do with his last life, and it has nothing to do with his next life."

The Bi Cang Palace is very close to the imperial city. Shen Li flew back all the way.

There were always people from the Immortal Realm world looking up below. She was used to it.

She landed in her own mansion. Before she could stand firmly, a fleshy figure rushed forward and knelt on the ground, hugged her feet and cried: "My lord! You are finally back, my lord!"

Shen Li was stunned and rubbed her eyebrows: "Get up. Prepare water, I want to take a shower. Where is the cook? Ask him to prepare the meal. I'm hungry."

The chubby-faced girl raised her head and looked at Shen Li with tears in her eyes: "General Mofang came to inform you that your lord will return to the palace today.

Rou Ya has prepared the water and the cook has prepared the meal, just waiting for your lord to come back."

Shen Li was stunned.

She didn't expect Mofang to think so carefully. She looked back, but Mofang saluted her and said: "Since your lord has nothing to do, Mofang will take his leave."

"Oh... yeah, okay."

Shen Li followed Rou Ya into the inner bedroom. She didn't like crowds, so the staff in the house was kept to a minimum. The only one who cleaned was Zhang Sao, a taciturn woman who was not seen on weekdays.

She always liked to hide in the dark and quietly clean the house. The only one who served clothes and meals was Rou Ya, a noisy little girl.

There was also a cook, who was simple and honest and never left the kitchen on weekdays.

And... "Ah, Prince! Ah! Prince! You're back, Prince!" The big parrot in the cage of the bedroom cried noisily. "Shhh, shut up."

Shen Li glanced at it, walked behind the screen, took off her clothes, sat in the bathtub filled with hot water, and tilted her head back comfortably.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest for a while, the parrot across the screen started to make noise again: "It didn't run away, Prince. It was caught and married again, Prince. Are you sad, Prince, Prince, Prince!"

Shen Li's mouth twitched, and with a wave of her hand, the door of the iron cage opened with a "clang".

She turned her palm into a claw, and with a light pull, the parrot in the cage was grabbed by her through the air. She pinched its wings and looked at it with raised eyebrows: "Come to think of it, I haven't seen you without hair." Xuxu fell silent at the right time. "No, Prince! Ah! It hurts, Prince! Spare me! Prince!"

Rouya, who was standing outside the door, looked into the room curiously: "The prince had so much fun playing with Xuxu today."

As soon as she opened the door, a naked bird squeezed out from the crack. It swung its butt and dug a hole in the sand, then buried itself in it, "Ah..." Rouya was shocked, "Is that... Xuxu?"

"Don't worry about it, it can't run away." Shen Li's indifferent voice came from the room, "Anyway, it can't fly now." Listening to this slightly raised tone, there was a hint of pride in it.

Rouya turned her head in horror, and felt deeply that the prince must have suffered a lot of abuse when he lay in the lower world. How could his mentality... be so twisted.

During the meal, someone came to the mansion and said that Lord BiCang would enter the palace in the afternoon. An envoy from the heaven sent the style of the wedding dress and asked Shen Li to choose one.

Shen Li agreed and continued to eat slowly. However, after Rou Ya sent the messenger away, she fanned Shen Li and said angrily, "What are you choosing?

The Lord Furong in Heaven is a playboy, and it's his great luck that our prince is willing to come back and marry him. He even went to the Heavenly Lord to make a few scenes, acting like a spoiled child and refusing to marry, as if our prince loved him."

Upon hearing this, Shen Li glanced at Rou Ya, "How many scenes did Lord Furong make with the Heavenly Lord?"

Rou Ya counted seriously on her fingers, and finally scratched her head and said, "I can't count them all. I heard that Lord Furong in Heaven has been causing a lot of trouble during the time when you were in the mortal world and locked up."

"Oh, then I feel better." At least, there is another person who is being tortured by this marriage like her. Just thinking about it makes people happy.

"Asshole!" The mahogany square plate was swept to the ground by the wide sleeves with golden thread, and the servants immediately knelt down: "Calm down, Immortal Lord." The man in the white robe inlaid with gold angrily kicked the mahogany square plate further away and said, "Didn't she run away from her marriage? Why did she choose a wedding gown? I told you not to let me see these things!"

The servants knelt on the ground, and one of them answered in a low voice: "Lord BiCang was found a month ago."

"Isn't she a good fighter? But she is useless at this time!" Furong gritted his teeth in anger, "No, I have to go and beg the Heavenly Lord to marry that kind of woman back. Absolutely not!" After that, he lifted his clothes and hurried to the Palace of the Heavenly Lord.

The attendant hurriedly followed: "Immortal Lord, no! If you make trouble again, the Heavenly Lord will be angry!"

Furong ignored him and rushed all the way to the Heavenly Lord's bedroom. Before anyone could notify him, he pushed the door open and knelt on the ground with a plop, saying with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa Heavenly Lord, grandson... grandson is suffering!"

The palace was silent. Furongcried for a while, but did not hear the Heavenly Lord's scolding. He was wondering in his heart. He looked up and saw that the Heavenly Lord was sitting on the upper seat with a green face, and there was a person standing on his left. He wore a green jade hairpin on his head to lazily tie a few strands of hair. He was wearing a spotless white robe, tall and graceful, and the fairy air around him made Furongstunned.

The Heavenly Lord suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Haven't you met Xingzhi Lord yet?"

Furong was stunned.

Even though he was as dissolute as him and didn't know the names of the gods in the heaven, he still knew Xingzhi Lord - the ancient god, the only god still alive today.
