Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 801 - 800 Xiao He and the Princess
You should know, how long has it been since Pretty Girl ascended to godhood? It’s only been a year! And yet she’s already reached such a state, which cannot be described as anything less than a miracle. Moreover, it’s more than just a miracle.
When the light shines again and the spatial fluctuations quietly recede, they find themselves in a magnificent room.
Arriving here, Xiao He’s body trembles for a moment.
Familiarity; everything here is far too familiar to him, everything remains just as it was when he left. As if nothing has changed.
Once, he was the master of this place, the true ruler here. Even if he had to distance himself from his wife for the sake of his plans, she never interfered with his reign over the Peacock Demon Clan and the entire Jiali City. In governing the main city, he did his utmost, ensuring that Jiali City, a remote main city, could thrive—at least in terms of prosperity and wealth, it was no less than those of the core cities.
Reborn as a human and returning here once more, how could he not be overwhelmed with emotions?
At the next moment, a flash of silver light suddenly shines, and two figures almost instantly appear not far in front of them.
"Little Beauty." In a voice choked with tears, Su Qin takes a step forward and tightly embraces Pretty Girl in her arms, tears streaming down her face instantly.
Pretty Girl also hugs her mother, eyes moist with tears. She’s really back, as everything relaxes and she reflects on the various dangers faced in the Ancestral Court, she too feels like she’s lived two lifetimes!
Accompanying Su Qin is the current acting City Lord, also the Great Elder of the Peacock Demon Clan, the former Peacock Demon King’s princess.
The princess, looking at Pretty Girl and Su Qin embracing, can’t help but feel her own eyes well up as she murmurs softly: "It’s good you’re back, good that you’re back."
When they appear, the gaze of the Peacock Demon King is almost instantly fixated on the princess wearing a luxurious gown, his eyes filled with infatuation. What could be more thrilling than being reborn and seeing one’s love again?
It’s just like when Tang San was reborn and came to Demon Monster Land, the feeling he had the first time he encountered Pretty Girl at the milk tea shop.
The princess, being a Great Demon King Level powerhouse, naturally feels this peculiar gaze immediately and instinctively turns her head to look. What she sees is a human standing beside Tang San, with such a strange look in his eyes. She doesn’t know why, but the moment their eyes meet, she feels her heart skip a beat. And yet, he is clearly a stranger, a human emitting an aura no different from any ordinary human!
She subconsciously looks at Tang San beside her and asks, "Who is this?"
Tang San says, "His name is Xiao He."
Xiao He raises his hand, stopping Tang San’s introduction. Tang San understands that he wants to speak for himself.
Xiao He steps forward, hesitating for a moment, then takes another step, immediately closing the distance between himself and the princess.
The princess looks at him questioningly, but her eyes also show a mix of alertness and annoyance. Who is this ordinary human to stare at her so rudely? Had it not been for Pretty Girl and Tang San’s presence, she would have been angry already given her temper.
"Qingzhu, Qingzhu... it’s me!" Xiao He’s voice quivers, tears uncontrollably streaming down.
At this moment, the princess’s delicate body shakes violently, her eyes widen in disbelief as she stares at him.
The princess’s real name is Luo Qingzhu. Among the Peacock Demon Clan, there are two major surnames, Wang and Luo. Currently, the Wang surname is flourishing because the past Great Peacock Demon was from the Wang family, while there are relatively fewer of the Luo family. However, the husband of the former Great Peacock Demon was surnamed Luo, so her most legitimate direct lineage is actually the Luo surname. Among the elders of the Peacock Demon Clan, one-third are also surnamed Luo.
The name Luo Qingzhu is only known to those at the level of Elder and above within the Peacock Demon Clan. On normal days, no one dares to address her by this name, and everyone would call her the princess.
At this moment, suddenly being called by her maiden name, and with such a tone, along with that strange look in his eyes, the princess was immediately subjected to a strong stimulus.
"Who... who are you?" She looked incredulously at the man in front of her, Xiao He.
Xiao He murmured, "I wasn’t originally named that; it was only after marrying you that I changed my name to include your character for ’Qing.’ Back then, you said that it was as if our names mirrored each other—do you still remember?"
If the name Luo Qingzhu was still known by those above the rank of Elder, then the story of their names mirroring each other was only known by the two of them.
In an instant, the beautiful visage of the princess turned deathly pale, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at Xiao He, her entire body trembling uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Su Qin, who was emotionally reunited with her daughter after a long time, was very excited. But upon hearing the voice from over here, she couldn’t help but turn her head to look. Looking at Xiao He, then at Pretty Girl, her eyes also filled with disbelief.
"You..." Princess Luo Qingzhu’s body shook uncontrollably, her divine consciousness fully focused on the Peacock Demon King. But this was just a human, without the slightest trace of the Peacock Demon Clan’s aura! Although he felt much stronger than an ordinary human, he was still human!
Xiao He took a deep breath to calm himself down, "Thank Pretty Girl and Tang San. In the Ancestral Court, they revived me with a human body. After I died, Tang San preserved my divine consciousness with a divine tool. They... they really succeeded."
Luo Qingzhu subconsciously stepped forward, almost instantly arriving in front of Xiao He, looking at the unfamiliar face with those achingly familiar eyes. Overwhelmed by a torrent of emotions, tears burst forth uncontrollably.
Su Qin looked at them, then turned towards Pretty Girl and asked softly, "Is it really... really true?"
"Mm," Pretty Girl nodded gently.
Su Qin had also heard when Tang San told Pretty Girl that they would try to resurrect the Peacock Demon King in the future, and at that time they all thought it was just a comforting statement. But to their astonishment, he had actually achieved it.
Xiao He watched Luo Qingzhu, who was crying inconsolably before him, lifted his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears, but Luo Qingzhu instinctively stepped back; after all, this face was still too strange for her.

"I’m sorry," Xiao He lowered his hand and whispered, "I’ve caused you suffering over these years. Give me some time, let’s slowly adapt again, okay? Whatever you decide, I will listen to you."
At this moment, Luo Qingzhu could only weep, as if to release all the grief that had accumulated in her heart during this period of time.
Su Qin hurriedly stepped forward, intending to offer some words of comfort, but Tang San stopped her.

Ever since the Great Peacock Demon King passed away, Princess Luo Qingzhu helped Pretty Girl govern Jiali City, but her heart was always filled with sorrow. Now that she could cry, it was the best time to release those pent-up emotions; it was good for her to let it all out.
Tang San gave Pretty Girl and Su Qin a look, and with a gentle flick of Pretty Girl’s hand, a circle of silver light enveloped the three of them. They silently vanished from the room and went directly to Su Qin’s residence in the City Lord Manor, leaving Xiao He and Luo Qingzhu alone.
Looking at his wife, whose appearance was like flowers spattered by rain, tears welled up in Xiao He’s eyes as well, and he softly said, "Do you remember the first time we met? When I first saw you, I already admired you in my heart. You know? I wasn’t lacking in confidence. I don’t know where I found the courage, but at that time, I had already deeply fallen for you. I secretly vowed in my heart that I must strive to become strong."
