Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: Give Me Some Time
Tang Yuge whispered, “When I learned that the Sea God’s Luck matchmaking event was going to happen, and that you were going to participate too, I felt so scared.”
Yuanen Huihui was stunned, “Scared of what?”
Tang Yuge said, “I know how outstanding you are, whether in terms of character or cultivation, in the Inner Court, you are absolutely the top choice. I don’t know how many female students of the Inner Court would fall for you. And who among those who could enter the Inner Court isn’t a prodigy? Thus, I feared you might find someone you love. Although I told myself that I should bless you, I couldn’t help but think, if you had someone you loved, you would leave me and no longer cling to me every day like you used to. When I think of these things, intense fear arises in my heart. I originally didn’t want to come to this matchmaking event, but I still came. Although I don’t know what I would do when you choose someone else as your lover, I still came. But I never, ever expected that you would say those words, would…”
As she spoke, her pretty face blushed slightly.
Yuanen Huihui stared at her blankly, “Do you, do you truly like me then?”
Tang Yuge looked at him, “I have always liked you. But in the past, my liking was like that of a sister for a younger brother. As for now…”
She paused, “I don’t know. Really, I don’t know. My heart is in a mess. But what I can tell you is, actually, when I was rejecting you at that time, there was a bit of joy in my heart, because at least, you wouldn’t leave my side. You would still be with me every day. Can you give me some time? What I can promise you is, I won’t like anyone else either.”
Tears in Yuanen Huihui’s eyes stopped flowing, he stared at Tang Yuge blankly for a long while, then suddenly hugged her tightly, bursting into loud sobs.
His arms were long and strong, his breath was so intense that Tang Yuge was somewhat intoxicated. But his crying, was still as pure and dependent as a child’s.
Instinctively, Tang Yuge also opened her arms and hugged him tightly.
What she didn’t know was that someone triggered the Fire Spirit Life Curse within himself, which also proved Lan Xuanyu’s analysis was right.
For Yuanen Huihui, an opportunity, at last, was here. At least, she wouldn’t leave him, and he could still cling to her every day. That was enough!
Eternal Sky City, Sea God’s Pavilion.
Having returned to this place where the breath of life was the most intense, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu accompanied Gu Yue as they walked into the Sea God’s Pavilion.
The Sea God’s Pavilion was very quiet at this time; there were no other old gentlemen around. At least, they didn’t see any.
Back to the room where Tang Wulin had stayed, the room still faintly possessed the lingering breath of Gu Yue’s revival, and the elemental waves in the air were nearly viscous.
“Xuanyu, what has happened during this time! Quickly tell me,” Gu Yue said, grabbing Lan Xuanyu’s hand.
“Sure! Mom, please sit.” While speaking, Lan Xuanyu pulled Gu Yue to sit down.
There was no bed in the room, only a few cushions.
Gu Yue sat down on a cushion, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu sat on either side of her. Tang Wulin also followed them in, he found a corner to sit down in and quietly listened to Lan Xuanyu narrating.
“Initially, when you tried to save us, you were struck by the projection of the First Seat of Sky Dragon Planet into the star’s core. That moment I was really terrified, I was really afraid I’d lose you! Especially when you told me it might be my mom. I rushed back like crazy to ask for help. I believed then, with your cultivation level, even if you fell into the core’s magma, you wouldn’t be harmed.”
“After returning, I immediately contacted Uncle Le, also known as Dad. As soon as he heard you were in trouble, he rushed over right away.”
At this point, Lan Xuanyu paused, his gaze then shifted towards Tang Wulin, who was sitting in the corner.
Gu Yuena also followed his gaze and saw Tang Wulin, who smiled and nodded at her.
However, Gu Yuena immediately averted her gaze, “And then?”
Lan Xuanyu continued, “Then the academy expressed willingness to help rescue you. Dad and I, with the help of the academy, Tang Sect, and the federation’s military, went to that star to rescue you. Because reaching the surface of the star required combating the strong stellar gravity, we had to use the mother ship’s stellar detector, which was provided by the Seventh Fleet. At first, we searched the surface of the star several times without any results. Just as we were about to give up, Dad left the stellar detector and risked going onto the star’s surface to search for your aura himself.”
“At that time, Dad made a breakthrough; it seemed like he forcefully broke through, overcoming his body’s seventeenth seal and achieved Super God-level strength. Only in that way could he endure long enough on the surface of the star to find you.”
When he mentioned the seventeenth seal, Gu Yuena visibly shuddered and looked towards Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin smiled and said, “It’s alright, after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, it was only natural and logical that such a breakthrough occurred.”
“What happened next?” Gu Yuena looked back at Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Then Dad found you in the magma, by then you had turned into a silver dragon egg. Dad said you were still alive, I was really so happy then, I knew very well you wouldn’t be easily consumed by the magma. We then brought you back here, Dad has been guarding you, waiting for your recovery. These days, Dad has been by your side, protecting you, until just now when you woke up and returned to us. While you were in the silver dragon egg, did you feel any external aura? Couldn’t you feel Dad?”
Gu Yuena frowned slightly, “I don’t know, I was always in a dazed state. I’m not too sure. What about you? What have you been doing during this time?”
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “I went to Sky Dragon Planet.”
“Sky Dragon Planet?” Gu Yuena widened her eyes in surprise.
Immediately, Lan Xuanyu briefly narrated how he and his companions joined the military, entered the Seventh Fleet, and by a fortuitous coincidence infiltrated Sky Dragon Planet during the war, discovering many secrets of Sky Dragon Planet.
Listening to his description, Gu Yuena became more and more astonished, no wonder Lan Xuanyu’s cultivation had grown to such an extent in such a short time; it was all because of Sky Dragon Planet. The Dragon Realm? That was a place related to the Dragon Clan.
After listening to Lan Xuanyu’s narration, Gu Yuena grasped his wrist, silently feeling his current condition.
In front of Gu Yuena, Lan Xuanyu had nothing to hold back, thus, he fully opened up about his condition, allowing her to get a clear understanding.
Tang Wulin stood up and came next to Lan Xuanyu, sitting down, “The method of Dragon Power Refining is indeed very suitable for him to cultivate, although it carries certain risks. But looking at it now, the effects are much better than cultivating here. Most importantly, making a breakthrough at Sky Dragon Planet was the best choice for him, enabling him to become a God in the shortest time possible.”
Gu Yuena knitted her brows tightly, “What if you were discovered? I have encountered that Sky Dragon before. Even though it was just his projection at that time, he was incredibly powerful. It’s not just about being Ultra Divine. Moreover, there are so many Super God-level Dragon Knights. The power of Sky Dragon Planet is terrifying. It’s not something we can confront at the moment.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “That’s exactly why I need to further infiltrate their ranks, using the resources of Sky Dragon Planet to strengthen myself and my companions. If one day, we all can become Super God-level powerhouses on Sky Dragon Planet, possibly even surpassing the Dragon Clan in numbers, then the federation need not fear the Dragon Clan anymore. We are currently far ahead in terms of technology, if we can catch up in individual strength as well, the Dragon Horse Galaxy will definitely be conquered by the federation. With the vast resources of the Dragon Horse Galaxy, the federation will definitely reach new heights.”
