Ten Years (2)

It had already been Ye Lang's tenth day in the Ancient Ruins. Throughout those ten days, Zhao Yarou followed him every day, never leaving his side. She even stood guard outside when he went to the toilet, and when he bathed, she ran in and wanted to bathe with him.

Of course, when Ye Lang saw Zhao Yarou run in, he paid her no mind and simply continued bathing on his own. He would not leap up in fright and flee like other people would.

Zhao Yarou had asked Ye Lang about this before. Why did he not run?

Run? I'm a man. You're not afraid of losing out, so what am I afraid of?

That was Ye Lang's answer. Only then did Zhao Yarou realize that she seemed to be the one at a disadvantage. Of course, though she said she ran in, she had not stripped naked before Ye Lang. She merely revealed a little and wore only close-fitting underclothes.

There were many more little incidents like that. To Ye Lang, they seemed insignificant. Zhao Yarou was simply making a bit of a fuss, without the slightest bearing of an empress.

At this time, Ye Lang felt that something was off about Zhao Yarou, but he could not say what it was. Since he had been studying the things within these ruins recently, he tossed the matter to the back of his mind.

Over the past ten days, Ye Lang had indeed thrown himself into his identity as an alchemist, researching the things in the ruins that he had not had time to study last time. This was an excellent opportunity for him.

This place was an alchemist's paradise. It held everything every alchemist dreamed of. Even Ye Lang hoped to obtain the things here and research them
