The End Times as a Song

Chapter 420 Dark Shadow

The old man glanced at Lin Yin, a hint of doubt and curiosity in his eyes, then turned to Huan Rugo, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes. He gently shook his head and returned Lin Yin's words.

Lin Yin nodded slightly, then cast a mysterious spell, his body lightly flying towards the center of the lake. Seeing this, Zui Weng's lips curled up slightly, and he also cast the same spell, closely following behind Lin Yin, flying towards the center of the lake together.

"What can't be said to my face...! Honestly...! And all this sneaking around...! Behind my back...? I'm a guest, after all...! How rude of you...!"

Watching their departing figures, Huan Rugo felt a surge of dissatisfaction and confusion. She frowned and muttered a complaint under her breath.

“Miss, don’t rush…! Why don’t we go to the Love Pavilion first, change our clothes, and wait for our master?”

Looking at Huan Rugo's expression, Hua Nian gently comforted her. He knew Huan Rugo might be a little confused, but for now, it was best to follow his master's instructions.

"Alright, then you lead the way!"

Huan Rugo replied to Huan Nian, and the displeasure on her face gradually faded. She decided to put aside her doubts for the time being and go to the Xiangsi Pavilion to wait.

"This way, please...!" Hua Nian smiled and gestured, guiding Huan Ruge to the Xiangsi Pavilion. Along the way, he took meticulous care of Huan Ruge, ensuring she felt comfortable and at ease.

Soon, they arrived at the Pavilion of Longing. The Pavilion of Longing was an exquisite building, surrounded by a beautiful garden full of blooming flowers.

"This is the Pavilion of Longing, please come in." Hua Nian pushed open the door and invited Huan Ruge to enter.

Huan Ruge stepped into the Xiangsi Pavilion and was immediately captivated by its furnishings. The pavilion was filled with exquisite furniture and decorations, and beautiful paintings hung on the walls, creating an elegant and warm atmosphere.

"This is the room prepared for you. If you need anything, please feel free to tell the servants," Hua Nian said gently.

Huan Rugo nodded, expressing her gratitude for Huan Nian's thoughtful arrangements.

Just then, a voice came from outside: "Your Highness, who is that woman...? Why does she have the same Da Nian beast scent as you?"

The speaker was the Drunken Old Man, who looked at Huan Rugo's departing figure with a puzzled expression.

After a long silence, Lin Yin's expression became much more serious. He looked at Zui Weng and asked, "Zui Weng, can you help me investigate something?"

Upon hearing this, the old drunkard immediately perked up and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what is troubling you so much? Is it about the Da Nian beast?"

Lin Yin nodded and said in a heavy tone, "I want to know why the Da Nian Beast suddenly appeared, and whether it is related to that woman."

The old drunkard frowned, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Alright, Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my best to investigate thoroughly." With that, the old drunkard turned and left.

Lin Yin gazed into the distance, deep in thought. He knew this matter was likely more complex than he had imagined, and he needed to uncover the truth. The old man still couldn't understand what was troubling Lin Yin so much.

"It's not about the Da Nian beast. I'll tell you about the Da Nian beast later. Help me find out about her...!"

Lin Yin turned his back to the Drunken Old Man and responded to his words.

"Her...? Is she the woman His Highness brought back? What happened to her...?"

The old man grew increasingly curious about what Lin Yin wanted him to investigate. He couldn't help but ask, "Lin Yin, what exactly do you want me to investigate for you? Stop keeping me in suspense."

Lin Yin glanced at Zui Weng, then slowly said, "Yes, it's her. I had a fit of madness and bloodlust, and I accidentally drank her blood...!"

The drunkard stared wide-eyed and asked in surprise, "Your Highness, are you alright? She is a human, how could Your Highness drink the blood of such a lowly human?"

Upon hearing that Lin Yin had drunk the blood of a lower-class human, Zuiweng flew into a rage, unable to accept this fact.

Lin Yin calmly replied, "That's not the point. The point is that her blood, from an ordinary human, actually restored my senses."

"That's very strange. How could the blood of a human restore Your Highness's sanity...? Does Your Highness suspect that she is not a god...?"

The old drunkard could never accept this fact.

"She's not a god... she's just an ordinary human...! A human who doesn't know magic...! That's why I need you to find out what really happened...?"

Lin Yin continued.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will investigate this matter for you immediately!"

After looking at Lin Yin, the old drunkard understood that this matter had to be investigated, so he knelt down to accept the order.

"The sooner the better, I don't want to miss any news...!"

Lin Yin confessed to Zui Weng.

"Your Highness Lin Yin, rest assured...! Trust Zui Weng, he won't let you down...!"

The old drunkard confidently accepted the order, but he was completely clueless.

"Go back!"

Lin Yin said to the Drunken Old Man.

"The old drunkard takes his leave."

The drunkard knelt down, accepted the order, and took his leave.

Are you even human...?

On the bamboo raft in the middle of the lake, only Lin Yin remained. He sat down and stared blankly at the water. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Miss, this way please...?"

Hua Nian and Dou Kou led Huan Ru Ge from Xin Hu Xiao Zhu to Xiang Si Ge. The scenery along the way was truly beautiful, and Huan Ru Ge enjoyed the view with a sweet mood. However, when she arrived at Xiang Si Ge, her expression changed.

"The Pavilion of Longing...? This is the Pavilion of Yearning...?"
