Chapter 448 I am very grateful to you.
After two days and two nights of travel, Xue Tong and his group finally arrived at a small town not far from the capital.
Xue Tong ordered a brief reorganization here before heading to the capital.
In the VIP room with the heater on, Yu Shu was soaking in warm water, with only her head floating on the surface.
The woman let out a long sigh and spoke to the girl behind the screen:
"I still find it hard to believe that your name is Xue Tong and your third brother's name is Lin Su."
The woman sitting by the window, dressed in a dark red silk robe with her hair loose, spoke upon hearing this:
"Any questions?"
"There's no problem, it's just a bit too hasty."
"What's so perfunctory and hasty about this? I've seen plenty of hasty things in all my years of life!"
What? Lord Wolf is about to cause trouble with a flick of his eye.
What? Two little spiders dug through nine caves in just a few days.
Thinking of those two little spiders, Xue Tong couldn't help but smile.
Yu Shu stood up, put on her clothes, and turned around the screen to look at Xue Tong:
What are you laughing at by yourself?
"Nothing, I just thought of something interesting."
Yu Shu's eyes lit up: "Um, may I listen?"
Xue Tong looked at her with a smile: "No!"
"Here's what you're going to do: tell me your story, and I'll tell you my plan for Old Xing."
Xue Tong snorted coldly and got up from the stool by the window:
Do you think I'm someone who's so easily fooled?
The girl disappeared behind the screen. Yu Shu was in no hurry and waited quietly.
A few breaths later, Xue Tong, her hair disheveled, returned to the bedside, muttering to herself as she walked:
"You need to change your lifelong habit of obsessively listening to other people's secrets!"
The girl looked at Yu Shu as if she were a storytelling machine devoid of emotion:
What do you want to hear?
"Just say whatever comes to mind!"
Xue Tong looked at Yu Shu's gentle eyes and brows, and her heart stirred slightly.
She was no longer the trembling figure she had been in front of Emperor Linde's bedchamber when they first met.
She became a better version of herself.
The girl slowly spoke:
"On the border where the demons have invaded, there is a small village called Lu Family Village..."
Perhaps because he often reads storybooks, Xue Tong tells the story very well.
When she spoke of the various women from her memories, the gentleness in the girl's eyes was like the melting of spring water.
Yu Shu listened, completely absorbed.
In Xue Tong's story, there is a naive little girl who was trapped in the mountains her whole life and never managed to escape. There is also a willow demon who destroyed her own essence, risked her years of cultivation, and traveled the world to teach and educate people.
Even more important are emperors who, faced with a great responsibility, defy public opinion and ascend the throne.
The River Goddess, fearless of divine might and defying the heavens, has protected the people on both banks of the river for hundreds of years…
There are many more women, some gentle, some decisive, and some intelligent.
By the time the story ended, Yu Shu's eyes were already filled with tears.
The woman hurriedly wiped her eyes a couple of times, her voice slightly hoarse as she spoke:
"Xue Tong, that's so nice!"
"You know what? I used to be really envious of your title!"
“I envy the long-lasting peace and prosperity in your title, which is like the glory of the Great Yu Dynasty, while I have only been the gentle and obedient person that my father has always hoped for since I was a child.”
The woman smiled through her tears:
"But I'm not envious anymore!"
"Whether it is intelligence or gentleness, these are beautiful qualities that a woman should possess. I can be gentle, but I am gentle for my own sake, because I am a gentle person by nature."
"Not for my father, my brother, my husband!"
"Xue Tong!" Yu Shu looked at Xue Tong's delicate features:
"I'm very grateful to you..."
"You are the most vibrant and kindest girl I have ever met!"
As the woman's voice faded, Xue Tong's eyes widened suddenly.
At the same time, a very faint causal line slowly appeared, connecting the two of them.
"Xue Lan!" the girl screamed, calling out to Xue Lan.
"Is this normal?"
Inside the Wan Gong Workshop, Xue Lan calmly spoke:
"Congratulations on establishing a second connection in the Yuanming Realm besides your own."
Lord Wolf smiled gently, like an extremely kind elder.
She hoped that Xue Tong and Yuanmingjie would have a connection, for the sake of those who had been kind to her and those she had met.
Instead of just one Xue Lan.
One Xue Lan cannot represent the entire Yuanming world.
Xue Tong heard the woman's voice, tinged with laughter:
"I've known for a long time that you have a knack for giving people hope."
It can give the main system hope, and it can give Xue Lan hope.
It can also give Yu Shu hope.
only……
Xue Lan slowly raised her hand, controlling the wisp of soul power she had left on Xue Tong, and stirred up a dark aura on Xue Tong's body.
A moment later, the woman's gaze turned cold:
"Fuso!"
In the distant upper realm, a young man carrying a cloth banner walked slowly through the mountains when he suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose in confusion, then his fingertips began to rapidly calculate.
"This is really interesting!" the young man murmured.
"The karmic entanglements of outsiders, and Lord Wolf King..."
As the young man was calculating, the scenery around him began to change rapidly.
The surrounding layers of green mountains began to spin, and all the flowing clouds and mist stopped in place.
"Forget it, I'll ignore it for now! She can't come up and kill me anyway."
The young man lowered his hands, gently raised the cloth banner in his right hand, and tapped it on the ground.
"Boom!"
Although it was a wooden staff striking the ground, the sound it made was like the tolling of a temple bell.
The surrounding swirling green mountains instantly came to a standstill, and the ground beneath the youth's banner suddenly transformed into a vast expanse of water.
Ripples spread out from beneath the young man's feet, reflecting the surrounding green mountains in the water.
It resembles a large, green bell.
As the distant mountains shrouded in mist and clouds, the young man spoke softly:
"I, Shang Xun, have been unreasonable and have intruded into the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Please forgive me, fellow Daoist!"
The mist filled the cyan bell, and Shang Xun saw a woman with a celestial sword floating behind her slowly emerging from the light mist not far away.
The woman wore an indigo dress, and as she walked, she resembled a serene lotus flower, swaying gently.
"This junior greets Senior Fusang! The Pavilion Master invites you in."
Shang Xun smiled gently, holding the cloth banner, and followed Wei He into the light mist.
The fog gradually thickened as the two moved forward, eventually turning almost milky white.
Finally, after passing through another layer of milky white fog, Shang Xun saw the jade-white palace nestled among the verdant mountains.
The palace, cast in white jade, resembles a giant dragon coiled among the mountains, exuding a majestic aura. The verdant peaks rise straight into the sky.
"Fellow Daoist Fusang, have come today perhaps to play a game of chess with me?"
A clear and pleasant female voice reached his ears. Shang Xun gently raised his head and his gaze fell on a female cultivator in green robes sitting upright in the palace.
The female cultivator had a cool and indifferent expression. Her ink-black hair was all tied up in a bun on her head. Her green robe was loose and baggy, with the wide sleeves falling to the ground. She held a chess manual in her hand and looked up at Shang Xun with her eyes slightly raised.
Shang Xun slowly raised his head and saw the boundless chessboard floating in the gray-blue sky above him.
On the chessboard, black and white pieces are constantly changing, engaged in an extremely fierce battle.
The young man's tone was full of teasing laughter:
"Fellow Daoist Quan Heng, do you still believe that the Yuanming Realm is a game of chess?"
The woman named Quan Heng looked at Shang Xun, her voice completely flat:
"Fellow Daoist Fusang, have you come to my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion today merely to mock me?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Xun quickly shook his head: "Of course not."
"I have simply encountered an interesting fellow Daoist!"
Quan Heng asked with a slight smile, "Which fellow Daoist is it?"
Shang Xun met Quan Heng's slightly golden eyes, his voice sounding a little hoarse:
"Neither human nor demon, a fellow Daoist who can balance the human and demon races!"
