Chapter 1859 - 1855: The Vast Starry Sky and the Lofty Jade Tower
Chapter 1859: Chapter 1855: The Vast Starry Sky and the Lofty Jade Tower
Xue An and the others arrived beneath the Three-Life Tree.
Only when you get close can you truly grasp the immense size of this tree.
The green trunk stands upright like a wall, causing a suffocating sense of oppression.
When you glance sideways, you can’t even see the tree trunk’s boundaries, as if the entire space is monopolized by this tree.
Compared to it, the Abyss God Tree that Xue An saw previously in the Abyss pales in comparison.
Huyue and Hu Ying, who are accustomed to such scenes, didn’t feel much, but An Yan and Ah Rou were thoroughly awed by the sight before them.
Even the two little girls Nian Nian and Xiang Xiang couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow, Daddy, this tree is so big!"
Xue An smiled slightly, "Of course, because this tree is known as the Multiverse’s greatest divine tree!"
"Really that amazing?" Xiang Xiang asked in surprise.
"Indeed so!" Xue An replied with a smile.
Just then, a light laughter was heard from the void, "Wan Er said that Lord Red Lotus has two extremely clever and lovely daughters, and upon meeting them, truly lives up to the reputation!"
The voice was clear and gentle, making one feel as if soaked in spring breeze upon hearing it.
However, upon hearing this voice, Huyue and Hu Ying’s expressions turned solemn, and their stance became respectful.
Xue An chuckled lightly, "What? Great Elder invited me here just to praise my daughters?"
"Of course not!"
As he spoke, a ladder appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, winding up along the tree trunk of the Three-Life Tree, finally disappearing into the boundless darkness.
"Please excuse my inability to personally welcome you all at the moment. Please proceed along this ladder, and you’ll be able to meet me."
Xue An’s eyes flashed slightly, then nodded, "Alright!"
Having said so, Xue An took a step onto the ladder, followed by the others.
As everyone stepped onto the ladder, it suddenly began ascending rapidly.
Its speed was so fast that it left no time for reaction.
Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, then a sudden vast openness emerged before them.
Beneath their feet were branches as thick as mountain peaks, above were stars shining like diamonds, and the stars were so close, it seemed one could reach out and pluck them.
Under such a breathtaking Starry Sky, a high tower made of white jade towered exuding a soft and crystalline glow.
The Starry Sky was vast, the Jade Tower pristine.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
Xiao Sha softly murmured, "Wow, is this a real scene?"
Only Xue An stood there calmly, with flashing eyes as if pondering something.
At the same time.
Before the Jade Tower, a man’s phantom gradually appeared.
Though just a virtual image, once he fully appeared before everyone, it still caused a stir among them.
All simply because the man was too perfect.
Indeed!
Perfect.
A pair of sword-like eyebrows slanting into the temples, light purple eyes shining like gems, but most striking was the fiery red mark between his eyebrows.
This mark seemed to possess magical allure, drawing one in uncontrollably, unable to extricate oneself.
Xue An’s lips gradually curved up, softly exclaimed, "Didn’t expect after so long no see, Great Elder, you’re still as... beautiful!"
This man was the Great Elder of the Qingqiu Fox Country, known as the Fox King — the Fox Sovereign.
Upon hearing Xue An’s words, the Great Elder chuckled, "Lord Red Lotus is still fond of joking. I am a man, how can you describe me as beautiful?"
Xiao Sha recovered from shock, muttered under her breath, "My goodness, actually a man! But this man is more beautiful than many women."
The voice was not loud, yet it instantly silenced the crowd, causing Xiao Sha to quickly shut her mouth upon realizing her slip.
The Great Elder looked at her with a smile, slightly paused, then laughed, "Oh, to find an entirely new Dragon Clan so adorable, it’s interesting!"
Fearless Xiao Sha blushed upon hearing the Great Elder’s words, then dared not speak a word.
The Great Elder said no more but glanced at Huyue and Hu Ying, the brother and sister duo.
Upon his gaze.
These two obediently bowed their heads, speaking in unison, "Great Elder!"
The Great Elder silently watched them, then sighed softly after a long while, "Ying’er, you really don’t let people relax, running away from home, but why have been unheard of for such a long time? Fortunately, you met Lord Red Lotus; what if any mishap occurred?"
Hu Ying trembled all over, "Great Elder..."
"Enough." The Great Elder waved his hand, "In any case, it’s good that you’re back safely; other matters... we’ll discuss later."
With that, he turned to look at Huyue.
Huyue’s forehead already bore large beads of sweat.
But surprisingly, the Great Elder said nothing, merely gazing deeply at him, then shifted focus to Ah Rou standing aside.
"Are you Ah Rou?"
Ah Rou nodded cautiously with a pale and tense face.
"Alright, you come in with Huyue!"
Having said so, the Great Elder cupped his hands toward Xue An, "Lord Red Lotus, might I trouble you to wait outside for a moment? I have some words to say to Huyue and her."
Tense and extremely anxious, Huyue looked at Xue An seeking help.
Yet Xue An seemingly unseen, smiled lightly, nodded, "Alright!"
Huyue was dumbfounded, with a face full of disbelief.
But seeing current circumstances, he could only obediently follow the Great Elder’s virtual image into the Jade Tower.
After a few steps, he suddenly held Ah Rou’s hand, his expression turning resolute.
Just like someone backed into a corner with no retreat, finally bursting with unparalleled courage.
They both eventually disappeared into the Jade Tower.
An Yan couldn’t hold back, softly asked, "Honey, why did you...?"
Though the rest of the question was left unsaid, the meaning was clear.
Xue An with a serious expression gazed at the Jade Tower, said lightly, "Things are far from simple; compared, this marriage seems less important."
An Yan did not understand what he meant, but from Xue An’s tone discerned matters had evidently shifted, so she closed her mouth and spoke no more.
The atmosphere became increasingly heavy.
People quietly awaited.
Hu Ying clenched her hands nervously, palms full of sweat.
Brother, you have to try your best!
Just when everyone thought they’d be waiting for a long time, the Jade Tower’s door suddenly opened.
Then Huyue walked out stunned, and Ah Rou looked equally flabbergasted, as though they encountered something unimaginable.
