【Grave Robbers' Chronicles】The Smoke and the Return of the Soul

"Wu Xie, it's time to get on the road. We need to find someone to lead the way and take a look at the place the landlady mentioned yesterday."

Wu Sansheng drank porridge and discussed with Wu Xie, but he gently turned his gaze to Nan Yan.

"Nan Yan, why are you here alone? Why do you, a nice girl, come to such a remote place?" Wu Sansheng asked me.

"Well, if I say I'm here for tourism, would you believe me?"

Nan Yan bit the rim of the bowl and blinked her innocent eyes, but all she got was a uniform shake of the head.

"Are you here to catch a lama too? Then come with us." Wu Sansheng looked at Nan Yan cunningly.

Nan Yan felt that she now had sufficient evidence to suspect that Wu Sansheng wanted to use her as bait.

"Okay, you all know it anyway. Let's go together."

Nan Yan was secretly delighted. She had been planning to go with them in the first place, but she was just worried about not having a reason to do so. Now someone handed her a pillow just when she wanted to go to sleep. She should not miss this opportunity.

"You... come here." Zhang Qiling looked up at Nan Yan, said slowly, and walked towards the big tree where he had been sitting before.

"Well, what was supposed to come has finally come." Nan Yan cursed inwardly, then hurriedly put down her bowl and chopsticks and rushed over.

"What are you calling me for?"

"Lord God, don't go this time!" Zhang Qiling frowned tightly.

"What?! Why do you call me Lord God? And why can't I go?" Nan Yan looked at Zhang Qiling a little unhappily.

"You are the Lord God." Zhang Qiling said slowly and firmly, "Before the Zhang family was established, a divine beast descended, and its true form was the Ice Qilin. Originally, the position of the clan leader should have been hers, but she declined because she was seriously injured and could not move."

"I just sealed her severely injured body inside the Changbai Bronze Gate and was given the title of God Lord. But she disappeared after a few years, and our clansmen couldn't find her no matter how hard they tried." Zhang Qiling paused and continued.

"However, the priest quickly calculated that a woman who was also the true body of Qilin would appear in the future, so the position of God Lord was established and has been passed down to this day. You were drunk yesterday, and the true body has revealed everything, so please follow me to the Zhang family to accept the position of God Lord again."

As Zhang Qiling was talking, he knelt on one knee and supported his shoulder with his right hand.

Nan Yan was digesting Zhang Qiling's long words when she was suddenly startled by his kneeling and quickly pulled Zhang Qiling up.

"Why are you kneeling? It's not like I don't want this position. And I wasn't drunk yesterday!" Nan Yan was a little angry and embarrassed when Zhang Qiling pointed out that she drank yesterday.

Zhang Qiling stood up after hearing this, "Lord God, since you have agreed, then wait for us up there!"

"No! You said I am the Lord God, then how high is my status as the Lord God?" Nan Yan shook her head.

Zhang Qiling's eyes turned respectful: "The status is naturally the same as that of the Zhang family's head, or even higher."

"That's right? My status is higher than yours, so you have to listen to me." Nan Yan blinked cunningly.

Zhang Qiling's handsome face was a little stiff. He thought it was too hasty, but still nodded slightly.

"Well, if you listen to me, I will go! And don't call me Lord God, just call me Yanyan."

"Yes, Lord God...Yan...Yan...Nan Yan" Zhang Qiling uttered word by word under Nan Yan's gaze.

"Isn't this good? Everyone is happy. Let's go!" Nan Yan smiled and turned to leave.

Zhang Qiling looked at the figure in front of him and followed in silence.

Before Wu Xie and the others could recover from Zhang Qiling kneeling on one knee, they saw Nan Yan and Zhang Qiling walking towards them. Wu Xie was the smartest one, and he knew Zhang Qiling couldn't speak, so he ran over to ask Nan Yan.
