Chapter 99 Qiu'er
Suddenly I dreamt that last night the wind and rain were fierce, and the waves crashed against the layered mountains.
Zhang Lexuan gradually awoke from her deep sleep, her hazy mind slowly dispelling the thin mist. Her dark eyes stared blankly at the ancient, bright moon on the dome of the main hall, lost in thought, speechless for a long time.
Only the lingering blush on her cheeks silently testified to the turbulent emotions churning within the beautiful woman lying prone.
Zhang Lexuan bit her lower lip, turned her head slightly to look at the boy beside her, and a complicated expression appeared on her face.
She keenly noticed Huo Yuhao's long eyelashes swaying gently, and she knew he had woken up.
Zhang Lexuan sat up and took out a set of clothes from her silver-white soul guide bracelet.
After a rustling sound, Zhang Lexuan finished dressing, tiptoed to the side, glanced at Huo Yuhao who was still pretending to be asleep with a complicated look in her eyes, sighed, turned her back, and said softly, "I'm dressed, you should put your clothes on too."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao could no longer pretend. He sat up stiffly, took out a set of clothes, dressed himself in a few quick movements, and stood there, unsure of what to say or do next.
The stunningly beautiful woman, about his height, stood before him with her back to him, her hands resting on the railing, her body trembling slightly.
Huo Yuhao didn't know what Zhang Lexuan looked like at that moment, but he had an urge to go up and hug her.
Because this girl evoked in him an indescribable sense of loneliness and helplessness, because it all stemmed from himself.
Even though Huo Yuhao had a million reasons to tell himself that he should stop and give each other some space to be alone and calm down, the thought of "going forward and hugging" suddenly popped into his mind.
Huo Yuhao could no longer suppress the strong emotions and impulses in his heart, so he strode over, opened his arms without hesitation, and hugged her tightly from behind.
Zhang Lexuan's body trembled instantly. She felt the sudden warmth and broadness of the arms, felt Huo Yuhao's head gently resting on her shoulder and the black hair scattered on her body. An unprecedented sense of security suddenly sprouted from the depths of her heart.
The next moment, a solemn yet firm voice gently rang in her ear.
"Sister Lexuan, I don't know what you think, but I can tell you for sure what I think."
"I won't let you leave!"
In an instant, Zhang Lexuan, who had been utterly lost and helpless, as if battered by a storm in the rainy night, seemed to have found her anchor. Her body gradually softened, and she pressed herself tightly against Huo Yuhao's chest, softly murmuring in response, "Mmm."
It was like a tender moment after the event; Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan clung tightly together, but neither of them uttered a word.
A gentle tenderness and a touch of trepidation filled the hall. Soft moonlight streamed down, scattering across their intertwined, ink-black hair and the white robes of the beautiful woman and the young man, creating a scene reminiscent of stars and moon shining together, of clouds and water merging, of a couple destined for each other for eternity.
Just then, an tactless voice came from outside the palace gate, "Now that you're awake, you two can both come out."
Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan were immediately blushing from the annoying female voice.
Zhang Lexuan wanted to break free from Huo Yuhao's embrace, but he wouldn't let her. In the end, the two of them took a step back, held hands, and left the Moon Palace together.
The deep purple star path stretches high into the sky, forming a floating celestial disc with an ever-changing light.
Yu Jue sat upright on a blue stone bench on the floating land, holding a cup of tea in her jade hand and bringing it to her mouth. Her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was savoring the lingering fragrance of the tea.
On another stone bench not far from her sat another stunningly beautiful woman with long, flowing, golden hair. She had equally golden eyes and was curiously looking around. However, what was peculiar was that there was a strange golden-red rune on her forehead, resembling a half-open vertical eye that was exceptionally eerie.
Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan held hands and walked together along the Star Path onto this floating planet.
Huo Yuhao and his companion were unfamiliar with both the purple-haired and gold-haired figures. They had seen the purple-haired woman before, but this was the first time they had ever seen the gold-haired woman.
Huo Yuhao had some guesses about this, but he wasn't quite sure yet. He pulled Zhang Lexuan along and didn't stand on ceremony with the two women. He sat down on the two empty stone benches, picked up the two cups of tea on the stone table, handed one to Zhang Lexuan with one hand, and put the other cup into his own mouth.
Zhang Lexuan hesitated slightly, but didn't say anything. Following Huo Yuhao's actions, she also tasted the tea in her hand. The delicate fragrance spread quickly after entering her mouth, going straight into her stomach and lingering between her lips, teeth, and nose. It was as if a clear, sweet spring had descended from the sky, cleansing her soul.
Zhang Lexuan stared in surprise at the clear tea soup in her hand, which had a faint bluish-green hue, and was stunned for a moment.
Huo Yuhao was also surprised, but it was clear that he had so many questions that they were almost overflowing. He took the opportunity to ask this purple-haired woman, and he knew what was important.
"May I ask who you are? What is this place? Who is she? Where did the Silver Dragon King go?" Huo Yuhao pointed at the charming blonde woman and asked four questions in a row, like pouring out beans.
Yu Jue looked at Huo Yuhao with gentle eyes and said softly, "My name is Yu Jue, the guardian dragon king of the Star Palace. This is the Ruins of the Three Stars, and your second sea of consciousness is the passage connecting to this place. You are the chosen one of the Ruins of the Three Stars, and the one who will inherit this place in the future. The Silver Dragon King and the Imperial Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion that you just mentioned are the guardian dragon kings of the Moon Palace and the Sun Palace, respectively." As she spoke, Yu Jue specifically pointed to the blonde woman that Huo Yuhao had just asked about.
The three-eyed golden lion snorted and said, "Human, you should feel honored that my lord and I have chosen you!"
Huo Yuhao ignored her, instead looking at Yu Jue and pointing at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, asking, "What's her name?"
Yu Jue shrugged and said, "Three-Eyed Golden Lion? An imperial auspicious beast? Isn't that her name?"
The three-eyed golden lion glared angrily at Huo Yuhao and said, "Human, how dare you disrespect me!"
Huo Yuhao glanced at the adorable, slightly clumsy girl and said, "I'll give you a name. From now on, I'll call you Qiu'er, what do you think?"
"Qiu'er?" The three-eyed golden lion fell into deep thought.
"It's acceptable as a human name."
Yu Jue coughed twice and said, "Alright, we still have important matters to attend to. The Silver Dragon King is still waiting for you outside."
"What important matter is it?"
"Aren't you still missing your fourth spirit ring?"
As she spoke, Yu Jue pointed to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Qiu'er and said, "The power of destiny on her body can just help you construct a soul ring."
