Chapter 138: Chapter 115: The Three Great Legacies, Favored by Providence?
In front of the Hall of Reincarnation, four Kirin Divine Beasts enshrouded in flames stood majestically, their presence dominating and tyrannical.
On the clouds beside the hall, boys and girls sat in meditation, playing flutes and pipes, their melodies encircling them, notes soaring into the sky.
Above the grand hall, amidst the mist, shadows lurked, and upon a closer look, it was none other than a Black Dragon, its scales shimmering with a dark radiance. Its five claws gleamed sharp and bright, displaying a stark contrast with its black hue, flickering with a bright cold light.
It coiled on the clouds, gazing down loftily at the newcomers, its eyes glinting mysteriously, emitting a low and furious Dragon Roar.
Dragon\'s might aside, just its colossal body and intimidating gaze could make ordinary people weak in the knees.
Yet, the person arriving remained unflinching.
Her skin was smooth as jade, her eyebrows lively and eyes spirited.
Standing there, she became the center of all things, as if the entire sky\'s splendor existed only to accentuate her beauty.
She seemed like an Immortal Fairy who had stepped out from the Moon Palace, her elegance and purity radiant, with the sanctity that bore a hint of enchantment, intoxicating to behold.
Such a stunning woman, yet she emitted a subtle chill; in her brows, there was a trace of pride. Clad in a purple dress, she stood as plum blossoms defiant against the snow, her aura formidable.
Despite the formidable dragon might,
She stood immovably, as if all things in the world dimmed before her, even the massive Black Dragon seemed insignificant.
Suddenly, she smiled faintly and spoke softly, her voice melodious and far-reaching, "Elder Brother Liu Xiao\'s Heavenly Domain is indeed extraordinary, as if it\'s a paradise from the Nine Heavens."
"Haha, why does Sister Yan Luohe stop outside the hall? Hurry in, your Elder Brother has prepared fine wine to welcome you." A hearty and robust laughter came from inside the hall, and a rainbow bridge extended out of nowhere, reaching right to the feet of the woman.
The woman smiled and, following the rainbow, flew into the grand hall.
Liu Xiaosheng was waiting with warm wine and, upon seeing the woman fly in, immediately poured and pushed forward a cup.
"Sister Luo He, when Elder Brother invited you in the past to search the four seas and hundred rivers for immortal fate, you never had the time. What brings you here today for a chat?" Liu Xiaosheng smiled warmly.
"What? Elder Brother isn\'t welcoming your Sister?" Yan Luohe sat down and laughed.
"How could that be! Sister\'s arrival makes the air fragrant, making my entire Reincarnation Heavenly Domain more beautiful. This is an honor that I could not ask for, how could there be any unwelcome sentiment?" Liu Xiaosheng smiled slightly. Experience new worlds on M-VL-em|p,yr
"Elder Brother, today Sister comes actually on behalf of Yang Ji," Yan Luohe declared straightforwardly.
"Oh?" Liu Xiaosheng\'s expression became solemn, then he smiled faintly, "What do you mean by this, Sister?"
"Yang Ji and I both hail from the Endless Sea, and he has a life-and-death relationship with my younger sister. He declined your invitation because my sister had invited him first."
"He just felt that as he hadn\'t passed the three assessments yet and hadn\'t earned the qualification to stay in Dao Sect forever, it would be improper for him to come to my Luo He Celestial Domain," she explained patiently.
"When he completed the first assessment task with my younger sister, they made a pact that if he passed the third assessment, he would join my Luo He Celestial Domain," Yan Luohe spoke slowly.
"In that case, I have seized affection unjustly. I was unaware of the details, Sister, I hope you hold no grudge for this ignorance," Liu Xiaosheng was taken aback, making a respectful gesture and speaking with an apologetic face.
"It is I who should apologize to Elder Brother on his behalf, for he behaved inappropriately in his refusal, causing a stir and tarnishing Elder Brother\'s face. Please don\'t take offense," Yan Luohe said apologetically, before raising her cup, "This cup, I toast to Elder Brother."
She then drank it all in one gulp, leaving no drop.
"Sister\'s words make it sound like your Elder Brother is petty. If Elder Brother had known the situation, he wouldn\'t have put Yang Ji and Sister in a difficult position," Liu Xiaosheng laughed, raising his cup and drinking it down in one go.
It was his response to Yan Luohe.
"Thank you, Elder Brother, for your magnanimity," Yan Luohe smiled graciously.
"Sister\'s words now make me seem stingy," Liu Xiaosheng laughed heartily, "Since Sister rarely visits, you must stay longer. I\'ll have them prepare the Five-Color Splendid Chicken obtained from the Spirit Realm and roast the Golden Dragon Meat from the Dragon Realm as well."
"Elder Brother, you are too kind," Yan Luohe smiled lightly.
"Haha, it\'s a rare visit from Sister, naturally, I want you to stay longer," Liu Xiaosheng said with a laugh.
...
As night fell,
A green shadow streaked across the sky, flying out of the Reincarnation Heavenly Domain.
Inside the Hall of Reincarnation,
Liu Xiaosheng spoke solemnly, "Is the situation as she claimed?"
An elder walked out slowly from deep within the grand hall and respectfully answered, "Sovereign, what Yan Luohe said is true. I\'ve just inquired with the elder in charge of task assessments; Yang Ji indeed came here with Yan Luohe\'s younger sister to Dao Sect and completed the first task together, sharing a considerable bond."
"Oh?" Liu Xiaosheng tapped the table lightly, his gaze flickered, seemingly deep in thought.
"Sovereign, you personally extended an invitation, a great honor, and yet this Yang Ji dared to refuse with ignorance. Should we not..." the elder\'s voice turned cold suddenly.
"No need. Since Yan Luohe sincerely came to us, let\'s give her face," Liu Xiaosheng suddenly laughed.
"Understood, Sovereign," the elder nodded and replied.
...
At the Dao Peak,
In the main hall,
A voice as beautiful as the sound of nature\'s music entered.
"Yan Zhan!"
"My sister is here," Yan Zhan heard the voice and looked toward Yang Ji, "Come, let me introduce my sister to you."
Yang Ji nodded and walked out of the grand hall with her.
In midair, under the moonlight, a woman with picturesque features and eyes like autumn waters stood there. The light breeze gently lifted her silk gown, adding a captivating spiritual aura to her.
