Zither Emperor Chapter 215 Chapter 61 Tears of the Volcano Part 2_1

215: Chapter 61: Tears of the Volcano (Part 2)_1 215: Chapter 61: Tears of the Volcano (Part 2)_1 Ye Yinzhu was somewhat pleased with himself as he said, “Of course, Sura makes the best meals.”

“Yin Zhu, don’t flatter me.

How could I pare to Auntie?” Sura emerged carrying the last two dishes, “Uncle, I was in a rush, so I only prepared this much.

Please don’t take offense.”

Ye Zhong gave Sura a deep look, a knowing smile spreading across his face, “This is already very good.

Thank you, Sura.”

The lavish dinner started, and the more Ye Zhong ate, the more surprised he became.

Sura’s culinary skills were indeed exquisite, and Ye Yinzhu’s praise of him wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

Yet all throughout the meal, Ye Zhong wore a thoughtful expression.

This made Sura slightly anxious, causing his cheeks to flush slightly.

The time of reunion was always short.

When night fell, Ye Yinzhu acpanied his father all the way to the Academy door.

“Go back.

There’s nothing to worry about at home.

Just focus on your cultivation at the academy”, Ye Zhong advised his son.

“Dad, be careful on your journey.

Say hello to mom and both grandpas for me.

Oh, also tell Grandpa Qin that I have obtained the Haiyue Qinhui Zither and Cascade Pearl Beads Zither.

Grandpa Qin will understand,”

Ye Zhong nodded, “Yin Zhu, pay more attention to the people around you.

Mom and dad are quite open-minded.

Next year when you e back, if it’s not inconvenient, it would be good to bring a girlfriend home.

Good girls are being scarce nowadays, so it’s best you claim one early.

I’m off.” With a hearty laugh, Ye Zhong took flight and disappeared into the vast night sky.

Bring home a girlfriend?

Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but feel amused as he watched his father leave.

Could it be that father already knows about him and Haiyang?

That’s impossible!

Father hasn’t even met her yet.

With feelings of confusion and a reluctance to part from his father, he finally headed back to the dormitory.

Time flies like a sword.

In a night of Douqi cultivation and pondering on the Arrogant Bamboo Swordsmanship, the night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, just as the sun began to pour into the room from the window, Xiang Luan and Haiyang had already arrived at Ye Yinzhu and Sura’s dormitory.

“Wow, there’s breakfast to eat!

I was just feeling hungry.” Xiang Luan showed no modesty as she waltzed into the door straight to the dining table, picked up a wrapped egg and took a bite, then grabbed some pickles, chewing with a satisfied smile.

Ye Yinzhu stretched lazily, “You two came really early.

Poor my breakfast!”

Xiang Luan gave him a sidelong glance, took a few more bites of the egg, took up a glass of milk and started drinking.

She had the air of a lady enacting a great honor on you by eating your breakfast.

This left Ye Yinzhu helpless.

Sura came out from the kitchen, laughing, “Eat, eat more.

It’s fine.

I was afraid you guys hadn’t eaten breakfast, so I prepared some extra.

Also, the food we need to take with us today, I prepared it all last night.”

Xiang Luan laughed, “Sura, you’re truly a gem who can handle both the kitchen and the hall.

Anyone who marries you will be lucky.

You don’t need to prepare anything.

That place is a famous tourist spot, you can buy anything there.”

Sura gave a wry smile, “Elder Sister Xiang Luan, don’t make fun of me.

As for the food, it’s better if we bring our own.

Anyway, you all have Space Rings.

You won’t mind some extra things.

Home-cooked food is always cleaner than what you buy outside.”

Haiyang smiled faintly, “Sura, you are really thoughtful.

No wonder when Yin Zhu moved here, he insisted on bringing you with him.”

Sura glanced at Ye Yinzhu.

Ye Yinzhu was looking smugly at himself.

Sura scoffed, “Him?

He’s found a housekeeper.”

Ye Yinzhu protested, “I’m not lazy.

It’s just that you’re too hardworking.

Since you’re doing all the work, what can I do?”

Xiang Luan burst out laughing, “You’re taking advantage of someone’s goodwill and playing hapless.

You’re really bullying poor honest Sura.”

Ye Yinzhu retorted helplessly, “I’m the most honest one here.

Let’s eat breakfast quickly and set off soon.”

After eating the breakfast that Sura had prepared, taking advantage of the serenity of early morning, the four left the Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy.

With a 200-mile journey ahead of them, the trip was no short feat, especially for mages like Haiyang and Xiang Luan.

Hence, they decided to hire a carriage in Milan City before setting off towards their destination.

According to their calculations, they would likely reach their destination by the afternoon.

Opening the carriage curtain, they looked out at scenes of everything reviving under the warmth of spring on both sides of the road.

They all felt an exhilarating sense of openness, breathing in the fresh air, an indescribable joy filling them.

“It’s really nice to get out and play.

The last time we left Milan, we went to Konya City.

But that was for war, which is pletely different from how we feel now.” Xiang Luan leaned on Haiyang’s shoulder, saying fortably.

Sura said, “The current climate is perfect, not too hot, not too cold.

It’s the perfect time for a stroll.”

Ye Yinzhu said with a smile, “We’re not exactly strolling, are we?

We are riding in a carriage.

I guess if we were walking, it would feel even better.”

Xiang Luan hummed and said, “Walking?

Sure!

You can just carry me and Haiyang, then we won’t need to ride.”

Ye Yinzhu retorted, “Doesn’t Sura count too?

Why should I be the only one to carry you both?”

Xiang Luan replied, “Sura is so thin, how could you have the conscience to let her carry?

Haven’t you exploited her enough already?

Bullying you, let you carry, how about that?”

“Err…” Seeing Xiang Luan’s teasing look, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but feel a bit swayed, he really couldn’t do anything about her.

“I give up, let’s pretend I never said anything.”

On their way, they didn’t encounter any problems.

By noon, the four of them appreciated how smart it was of Sura to bring food.

Where could they find somewhere to buy food on the main road?

It was Sura’s foresight in bringing food that saved them from feeling hungry on their way to the hot springs.

After getting off the carriage and stretching their stiff bodies from a long sit, all four of them felt invigorated.

Ye Yinzhu looked up at the azure sky, closed his eyes, and relished the wondrous feeling of ‘watching the sun’ with closed eyes.

The orange light from the sun penetrated his eyelids, reaching deep into his heart.

His heart was instantly wrapped in warmth.

It was a real pleasure to be out and about in such wonderful weather.

The place where they disembarked was an official road.

From here, a secluded small path led deep into the mountains.

The path couldn’t be traversed by carriage because it was paved with green stones, so they had to walk the rest of the way.

At the end of the path was a mountain range, already turning into a greenish-blue hue.

As if alive, the refreshing air seemed to be emanating from the vibrant mountains.

From a distance, they could already see clouds of mist rising from between the mountains, making for an indescribably moving sight.

“Let’s go.” Excited like a child, Xiang Luan took the lead towards the path, “This place is called the Holy Heavenly Spring, it attracts the most visitors during winter.

It’s under the control of the Empire, and because the entrance fee is high, there aren’t too many visitors.

And because of this, the Holy Heavenly Spring is not easily damaged by human activities.”

Walking along the green stone path, they relished in the tranquil feeling of being entirely surrounded by greenery.

This was the first time Ye Yinzhu and Sura had e here.

Sura seemed to be particularly high-spirited, occasionally pointing out the sights and asking Xiang Luan about the Holy Heavenly Spring.

“The Holy Heavenly Spring is divided into Holy Spring and Tianquan.

The Tianquan is mostly for ordinary tourists, while the Holy Spring is only for the honored guests.

Even though it’s considered part of the Milan Royal Street, to enter the Holy Spring, you must hold a VIP card from any of the shops on Milan Royal Street.

Let’s just skip to the Holy Spring which not only has the right temperature but is also more pristine.”

Ye Yinzhu asked, bewildered, “But Sura and I don’t have any VIP cards!”

Xiang Luan’s Feng-shaped space ring flashed with light, “Yin Zhu, you are adorably naive.

Do you think I wouldn’t have a few spare VIP cards?” Four blue cards appeared in her fair little hand, shimmering with a crystal-clear light under the sunshine.

They seemed to be carved from sapphire, with clear magical elemental fluctuations.

Feeling awkward, Ye Yinzhu said, “I’m sorry that I’ve cost you.”

Seeing his expression, Haiyang, who had been standing next to Xiang Luan, couldn’t help but chuckle, “It’s okay.

These VIP cards belong to the highest-class.

You don’t have to pay anything and can still get the best service.

Did you forget her status?”

“Hey, your female intuition ruined my plan.

I was thinking about swindling him.

You shouldn’t have spilled the beans,” said Xiang Luan, pretending to be dissatisfied while speaking.

Haiyang’s face turned red.

Even though she was covered by the white veil, Ye Yinzhu could sense her shyness.

Thankfully, Sura saved the day, “Alright, let’s just go to the Holy Spring.”

Following the path deeper into the mountains, they arrived at the springs after a twenty-minute walk.

It seemed like they had entered a whole new world.

As soon as they were within the bounds of the Holy Heavenly Spring, the temperature rose significantly.

A strong smell of sulfur, distinctive of hot springs, wafted through the air.

While it couldn’t pare to the fresh scent of plants, it had a charm of its own.

About thirty attendants appeared to receive the ining guests.

Ye Yinzhu marveled, each attendant was physically robust with solid frames, obviously martial arts experts.

After Xiang Luan showed her VIP card, an attendant respectfully led them inside.

Observing the doubts in Ye Yinzhu’s heart, Xiang Luan explained in a low voice, “After all, this place belongs to the Royal Family, so naturally, some experts were needed to prevent any chaos.

These attendants are all ex-members of the Royal Guard.” (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please log on .
