Eternal Love Of Dream Chapter 36

Fengjiu nodded. "I had to come right away. I never expected to be asleep for 100 years."

Xie Guchou had a saddened look on his face. "Everyone was worried about you, including me."

"I'm sorry that I worried you all," she stated. "But first I must know what has been going on with Qingti."

"Well-" Xie Guchou was about to speak, when they heard someone teleport next to them.

Fengjiu looked to see that it was Jieyu Wan, who appeared skinnier than before, with dark circles under her eyes, and her hair did not look well kept. Jieyu Wan walked over to her and let out a shaky breath. "You're back."

"Yes, I am." Fengjiu nodded. "I'm...sorry that I took so long. Xie Guchou was just about to inform me of what has been going on."

Jieyu Wan let out another shaky breath and went over to hug her. Fengjiu froze for a moment out of shock, but then patted her back. "What's going on?"

Jieyu Wan wiped at her tears and took a step back. "I tried...for these 100 years I tried to harvest the Chinese Chestnut," she informed Fengjiu tearfully. "It was after the 4th one that Xie Guchou informed me that they tree was not good enough to produce the kind we need. I could plant another tree, but that would take even longer. We only got one good Chinese Chestnut out of the tree and even that was a miracle. I was able to produce it by using half of my cultivation." She looked exhausted. "That Chinese Chestnut can only heal wounds and restore a bit of cultivation. It can't grow flesh to make an Immortal body."

"I know of one that will produce what you need," Fengjiu stated, and before Jieyu Wan could ask. She continued, "I can't tell you where it is. I can only tell you that it will be over half a year before I can have it brought back to you."

Jieyu Wan sighed. "It's better than waiting another 100 years." She let out a deep breath. "I owe you an apology."

"Wh-what?" Fengjiu looked at her with a stunned expression.

"You really tried to help us in mortal realm," Jieyu Wan stated with a saddened face. "When I was angry and upset from learning that the Chinese Chestnut tree wouldn't produce what I needed...Si Ming informed me that you really were trying to help Chi Lan and I. He showed me what actually happened in his magic mirror... I saw how you didn't want to leave Qingti behind." Her voice cracked. "I...saw...I saw what he did. I heard what he said." She wiped her tears. "I hope you can forgive me."

"Of course I forgive you," Fengjiu replied. "I'm truly sorry for how things turned out. I will be getting the Chinese Chestnut soon."

Xie Guchou cleared his throat. "I need to speak with the Princess about a private matter."

Si Ming nodded and teleported away, Jieyu Wan stared for a moment and tipped her head at Fengjiu. She said, "I'll look forward to your update." Then she teleported away.

"What is it?" Fengjiu asked with a confused expression.

"You told me to keep you informed on the shadows," Xie Guchou replied. "I...have news."

"Tell me," she asked anxiously.

"I saw...that you left a letter for Shen Ye, Dijun's shadow..." Xie Guchou closed his eyes and sighed. "I should have questioned you as soon as you did it." His hissed out. "I know better than to let anyone try and interfere with the shadows." He opened his eyes. "Fengjiu, when you left that letter...the man he was rooming with, called Qi Chen, stole that letter that you put on Shen Ye's bed and wrote his name on it. He claimed it was written for himself. The man had admired A'Lanruo from afar and saw it as his opportunity to cause trouble."
