Book 7: Chapter 18: Confession
Bai Qiuran traveled with Jiang Lan for ten years.
In that time, they have traveled to almost every place known in this era, and they had seen the famous mountains and rivers, and Bai Qiuran also recorded these majestic miracles of the gods in a book.
Jiang Lan added the word “sea” to the book. Since then, the name of this book has become Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas).
Along the way, when hearing about any race that had been persecuted by the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Heavenly Court, Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan would go to help them. They either negotiated with the leader or directly took people from the Heavenly Army who came to suppress the rebellion. Ten years later, the thickness of Shan Hai Jing had increased a lot.
During the period, the whereabouts of the two were also deliberately repeatedly exposed. The Eastern Emperor Taiyi sent other gods to arrest them. But under the protection of Bai Qiuran, the danger was alleviated every time.
These ten years had probably been the happiest days in Jiang Lan’s life, but the good times would eventually come to an end. One day after ten years, Bai Qiuran was inspired by Heaven’s Will, and he knew Bai Li was about to cross the Heavenly Tribulation.
So, the two had to prepare to return. On the night when they returned to find Bai Li, Bai Qiuran set a bonfire in the wilderness, boiled a pot of fragrant broth for Jiang Lan, and then began to organize the language, ready to tell all his secrets.
He stabbed the bonfire and said:
“Little Lan, that annoying guy who has always hindered me from telling me to do things, now he won’t hinder me anymore.”
“Ok.”
Jiang Lan didn’t know what Bai Qiuran meant, but she still faintly realized what.
Bai Qiuran looked at Jiang Lan and said seriously:
“So, Little Lan, after we got married so long, I can finally tell you the truth.”
“What’s the truth?”
Jiang Lan thought for a while, then asked:
“You have other women outside? I don’t care.”
“It’s not that problem.”
Bai Qiuran sighed:
“Didn’t you ask me where I came from and who is it?”
“Oh, this question.”
Jiang Lan smiled and said:
“I don’t care anymore.”
“Although you don’t care anymore, I still have to say.”
Seeing that the medicated broth was almost boiled, Bai Qiuran took out a pair of chopsticks and served Jiang Lan a bowl.
He blew the steaming soup, touched the bottom of the hot bowl, and after thinking about it, he attached a layer of heat-insulating spell to the bottom of the bowl before giving it to Jiang Lan.
“Be careful.”
Jiang Lan took the soup bowl, blew it, and took a sip. Although Bai Qiuran only added a little salt to the soup, the fragrance of the herb and the savory flavor of wild animals in this era were added, making this bowl of soup taste very delicious.
The steaming soup followed her throat all the way to her stomach, and the warm feeling made Jiang Lan’s spirits refreshed.
Seeing her complexion relaxed, Bai Qiuran picked up the stick and continued to stab the bonfire, and then said:
“Little Lan, I come from an age tens of thousands of years away from the present. I am actually a person born in the future.”
“The future......”
Jiang Lan chewed the word, and suddenly felt a sense of realization in her heart.
In the first few years of getting married, she and Bai Qiuran learned from each other. She taught Bai Qiuran a lot of knowledge related to gods and gods. Correspondingly, Bai Qiuran also taught her a lot of knowledge that she had never heard of.
Including this knowledge, as well as Bai Qiuran’s various performances in daily life, Jiang Lan felt that he was incompatible with this era in some respects.
Some of Bai Qiuran’s concepts did not belong to this era at all. It was as if he would subconsciously feel uneasy and guilty when the Heavenly Emperor rewarded him with many beautiful women and looked at her with a very caring look.
If it was any other male deity, this kind of behavior would not appear. Even if he and his wife were no more than affectionate, the male deity would not feel guilty for his wife because he occasionally molested women of other races.
Because this was the end of the God era, the ascent of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi not only symbolized the peak of the glory of the gods, but also a manifestation of the peak of the patrilineal society.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi himself, in addition to his concubine Huang Long, also married an unknown number of goddesses as his concubines and gave birth to many children. The women of various races he had played with were countless.
His concubine Huang Long knew about these things, but she did not express any dissatisfaction.
But now, after hearing what Bai Qiuran said, Jiang Lan felt that many things were connected in series.
“So, you don’t actually belong to this era...”
Jiang Lan looked at Bai Qiuran, feeling a little distressed for no reason.
“So, you lost everything you were familiar with and came to this era? How did you come here?”
“It’s hard to say in one word. In order to pursue a breakthrough in the realm, I went to a very wonderful place. There, I met the bell of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and I fought with it, and then I was sent to this era by it.”
Bai Qiuran replied.
Seeing Jiang Lan’s eyes, although it was still difficult to see any expression on her face, Bai Qiuran knew what she was thinking, so he touched her cheek and said:
“Don’t think too much. Although I came to this era by accident, it is not all bad for me. At least it makes me understand how to go in the future, and I also met you...”
“Ouch.”
At this moment, there was a voice suddenly surprised:
“What a surprise! The iron tree can bloom!”
The sudden voice shocked Jiang Lan, almost unable to hold the bowl, but Bai Qiuran quickly helped her hold the edge of the bowl.
“Who?”
Jiang Lan immediately recovered her cold expression and asked.
“Take it easy.”
Bai Qiuran waved his hand, then took a skull head from his belt and placed it in front of them.
Green sparks sprayed out of the skull’s eye sockets, and Wise Immortal greeted Jiang Lan:
“Hello, little girl.”
“He is Wise Immortal. He counts as my friend.”
Bai Qiuran introduced to Jiang Lan:
“I was drawn from that era to this era with me, but for some reason, he could not speak in front of outsiders before.”
“Sorry, I disturbed you both.”
Wise Immortal slapped haha:
“It’s just that this iron tree actually took the initiative to say a word of love to other women today. I really can’t help it... the little girl who was the lord of the past has been grinding for so long, and I haven’t seen him say anything. You are really amazing.”
Jiang Lan blinked and looked at Bai Qiuran and said:
“You mean he also had a partner in that era?”
“Ahem.”
Bai Qiuran coughed twice, glared at Wise Immortal, and then replied:
“Partner is not counted, barely...”
He hesitated and said:
“...Is she my female friend?”
“Yo.”
Now, Wise Immortal became worried instead, he asked:
“Old Bai, does the death of the first Heaven Jealousy irritate you? I thought you would say that you and that girl are just friends.”
“Cough.”
Bai Qiuran replied impatiently:
“Xiangxue has taken the initiative to come up in person. If I don’t know what she means, then it’s not a problem of low EQ. Is that a mental retardation, okay?”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Jiang Lan with a somewhat ashamed look.
