Under the collaboration of the two, the Ancestor Blood Pool in the Temple Underground Palace was finally destroyed.
Along with the five souls sealed within the blood pool, they were also eliminated by the two of them.
It’s quite miraculous to say.
After the blood pool was destroyed, the blood inside surged out wildly.
When the five souls were vanquished by Xiao Zheng and Hades, the once torrential blood instantly dried up, and eventually disappeared altogether. It was as if the blood in the pool was the embodint of those five souls.
With the souls gone, the physical form had no reason to exist anymore.
"Do you see if there’s anything left behind?"
Xiao Zheng looked at Hades standing opposite and asked.
Upon hearing this, Hades shook her head and said, "We have eradicated future troubles; henceforth, the Ancestor Blood Pool will never appear in this world again."
"That’s good, now I can rest easy." Xiao Zheng sighed with relief and spoke up.
Ever since learning that Morren and the others escaped from the Ancestor Blood Pool, and that the pool contained even more powerful beings, it had beco his biggest worry.
Fortunately, now that worry was gone, Xiao Zheng could finally leave with peace of mind.
"Let’s go."
Hades spoke.
Then she took the lead, walking into the tunnel.
Xiao Zheng watched her back, smiled, and then followed her.
Returning to the temple, it remained very desolate.
The only difference from earlier was that the bloodstains on the ground had been washed clean by the attendants with water. With the disappearance of the blood, the last traces of the nine elders’ existence in this world were also erased.
After taking a bath and changing into a new set of clothes, Xiao Zheng finally felt refreshed all over.
He didn’t choose to leave today; instead, he stayed and chatted with Hades all day long. Despite him talking most of the ti, neither of them felt awkward.
By the next day, the day of departure was finally upon them.
Xiao Zheng didn’t appear hesitant; after bidding Hades farewell, he returned to Song City quite freely. His private plane remained at Song City’s airport, and once he arrived there, the plane took off.
By around one o’clock in the afternoon, he returned to Zhonghai City.
Xiao Zheng rely made a phone call to Long Qie and others, and then went straight ho. Upon returning ho, to his surprise, he found Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran were both there.
"Xiao Zheng? You’re finally back!"
Chu Xiaoran said with so surprise.
If Leng Ruobing wasn’t present, she almost couldn’t help but throw herself into Xiao Zheng’s arms.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Since all matters are settled, I naturally had to co back. So, did you miss ?"
"Miss you? Of course, we missed you." Chu Xiaoran replied honestly, "I couldn’t reach you by phone before, and both my cousin and I were considering going to Europe to find you."
Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng imdiately broke out in a cold sweat.
Europe had been rife with turmoil before; if they had really gone to find him, they surely would have encountered danger.
Leng Ruobing then approached, smiling as she said, "Don’t let her bluff you, we wouldn’t go there and cause you trouble. So, have you really wrapped things up completely? How is Hades? Did you find her?"
"I’ve already rescued her, and Morren ultimately died by my hands." Xiao Zheng gave a simple report to her, without going into the risky details.
The entire process was indeed quite perilous.
Especially inside the Frozen Cave.
If it weren’t for the weakened seal power left by the Blood Clan Ancestor over the years, Xiao Zheng and Hades would have found it hard to escape from there.
To spare Leng Ruobing from worry, he naturally couldn’t recount these events to her.
Fortunately, Leng Ruobing was smart enough to sense Xiao Zheng’s attitude, so she didn’t press for details and instead asked, "Are you hungry now? Want to eat sothing first?"
"Have you all eaten yet?" Xiao Zheng asked in return.
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoran giggled and replied, "Of course, we’ve all eaten, it’s almost two o’clock now. Even if we’re not hungry, the baby in Cousin’s belly needs food."
Xiao Zheng chuckled and responded, "Look at my poor mory, I’ve been so busy that I’m dizzy. I’ve had no sense of ti running around outside these days."
"Why don’t you go rest for a while, I’ll go fix you a bowl of noodles." Leng Ruobing said as she made her way to the dining room.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng quickly stopped her and said, "You should rest instead. Cooking noodles is a nial task I can handle myself. Xiao Ran, quickly help Leng Ruobing sit in the living room."
"Yes, Sir!" Chu Xiaoran answered.
Leng Ruobing didn’t insist any further and was assisted by Chu Xiaoran to the living room.
Xiao Zheng then went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of plain noodles for himself. Perhaps the aroma was too enticing, it even aroused Chu Xiaoran’s appetite, coaxing her to take a bowl.
Seeing how the two of them were savoring their al, Leng Ruobing’s stomach felt a bit hungry too, and she took a bowl.
Finally, left with no other choice, Xiao Zheng had to cook a second pot of noodles.
After the al, he sat with the two won in the living room and watched a movie. It was a very lengthy docuntary, enough to make one drowsy. However, Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran watched it with great interest.
Xiao Zheng had no choice but to accompany them as they watched the entire docuntary.
By evening, Xiao Zheng suggested dining out.
Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran didn’t object, and the three drove out and found a nearby western restaurant. Perhaps it had been a while since they’d had such a delicate al, Xiao Zheng ate the most that evening.
After finishing the al, he accompanied the two won for a walk nearby.
It wasn’t until eight or nine o’clock in the evening that Xiao Zheng drove them ho.
Just as he sat down, his phone rang.
Taking out his phone, he saw it was a call from Mo Anna.
"If you want to take it, then take it. She’s had a tough ti too."
Sitting beside him, Leng Ruobing suddenly spoke.
Right when Xiao Zheng took out his phone, she had already seen the caller ID on the screen.
Smiling, Xiao Zheng pressed the answer button.
Perhaps knowing that Leng Ruobing was next to him, Mo Anna was very reserved on the phone, only asking if he’d like to go out for a drink that night. The location was at the Nightclub they’d been to before.
After so thought, Xiao Zheng didn’t refuse.
Because he hadn’t seen much of Mo Anna recently. Especially hearing from Leng Ruobing that during his retreat for healing, Mo Anna almost visited their house every day, which touched his heart quite a bit.
After saying goodbye to Leng Ruobing, Xiao Zheng then drove out.
