Xue Li exclaimed unconsciously, and her field of vision suddenly rose!
Her hands subconsciously hugged Zi Lan's neck. Zi Lan hugged her tightly and lifted her up. In excitement, he picked her up and spun her around several times!
Zi Lan was so excited that she didn't know how to express her feelings.
He felt like fireworks were blooming in his heart, and his tail was shaking rapidly. He wished he could hold Xueli in his arms. It was not until he had spun her around for several times and saw Xueli's helpless expression that he realized that he was too excited and almost made her dizzy. He stopped in a hurry.
"Feel sorry."
Zi Lan put Xue Li down in a panic, feeling embarrassed by what she had done, but her cheeks were still flushed from her high spirits and a little shyness.
In fact, he was reluctant to put down Xueli in his arms and looked quite at a loss.
But he tried to express it: "I am so happy. Sydney, I—"
At this moment, he suddenly began to feel that he was clumsy in words, because he was overwhelmed by the intense joy. He had too much to say and didn't know where to start.
With so many words on his lips, he could only hold Xueli's hand tightly, stare at her intently, and say, "For thousands of years, even if the seas dry up and the mountains crumble, I will hold your hand and never let you down."
Zi Lan's words were solemn and serious, with the sincerity of a promise or oath.
"Um!"
Xue Li felt shy when he looked at her and nodded happily.
The two people held hands and stood face to face. In this atmosphere, there was inevitably some warm ambiguity.
Xue Li stood on tiptoe and rubbed Zi Lan's chin. Just as the two were immersed in an almost awkward sweetness, Xue Li suddenly sniffed and sneezed lightly.
Although it is spring with flowers blooming everywhere in the world, the Snow Lotus Peak has been covered with snow for thousands of years, and even in the fairy palace, it is still colder than anywhere else.
Seeing this, Zi Lan made a quick decision, took off his white fur coat and put it on her.
Xueli declined quickly, "It's okay, I'm fine! I'm not feeling cold now, it's probably because I was playing by the water with Gancao Danggui last night and mistakenly thought there was something going on in the bushes and went to check it out. I forgot to wear shoes and socks, and walked a short distance barefoot with wet legs. The wind was a bit strong last night, so I caught a cold."
Zi Lan was moved when he heard Xue Li's description, and hesitantly asked, "Did you hear any movement in the bushes?"
"yes."
Xueli recalled what happened last night, gave a brief explanation, and then said, "But when I went over to look, there was nothing in the bushes. I guess it was just the wind."
However, when Zi Lan heard that such an abnormal situation had happened before, he immediately became nervous.
Unlike Xue Li, he had faced the man in white personally and felt deeply the terrifying power of that kind of opponent. He had a strong sense of vigilance and crisis about any situation that might be related to this incident.
He also remembered that the man in white was most likely trying to capture him and Xue Li. If the other party's target was the Star-controlling Divine Beast, then as the only nine-tailed fox left in the entire clan, Xue Li's situation was very dangerous and the other party would most likely not let her go.
Zi Lan immediately tensed up and secretly cursed himself for not being careful enough in the past two days in Fairy Shao Yin's palace.
He asked anxiously, "Where is that bush? Take me over there and have a look."
Xue Li originally thought it was just a small matter. After all, it was common for the shaking of trees and grass to make people feel that there was something inside. But seeing Zi Lan being so cautious, Xue Li couldn't help but panic.
She hurriedly led Zi Lan to the lotus pond where she and Gancao Danggui had played last night, and pointed to the bushes and said, "It's here. I felt something moving in these bushes last night."
Zi Lan walked over, lowered his head slightly, and examined it carefully with caution.
At first glance, there was indeed nothing there, and it was quite peaceful.
But Zi Lan was a member of the Snow Wolf Clan, and his sense of smell and intuition were among the best among the star-holding beasts. He carefully identified and soon smelled a familiar scent in the seemingly peaceful appearance. This scent, which he could never forget, almost made the hair on his body stand up!
Zi Lan followed the scent and finally picked up a small piece of cloth that was already slightly covered with snow in the thin snow under the bushes.
This piece of cloth seemed to have been caught by a branch in the bush and landed here.
Licorice and Angelica would get up early every morning and sweep the fairy palace carefully. There would be no snow in such places during the day. It seemed that this piece of cloth must have been left there from late last night to this morning. It was thanks to them that they got up early today that they were able to pick it up. In addition, the piece of cloth was snow-white and only the size of a fingernail, so it was almost invisible in the snow.
Zi Lan asked: "Is this from your clothes or Fairy Shao Yin's clothes?"
Xueli was shocked and surprised to see Zilan actually picked up a piece of cloth from the snow. She stepped forward and took a closer look, then shook her head and said, "It's not mine, and it's not my aunt's either."
She looked at Zi Lan's solemn expression, and thought of a possibility. The hairs on her back began to stand on end, and she immediately felt a sense of fear in her heart. She said, "Could it be..."
"Um."
Zi Lan responded heavily.
He carefully put away the small piece of cloth and said, "I sensed the aura of that person from before... Anyway, let's go find Fairy Shao Yin and other elders who can make decisions."
Xue Li and Zi Lan had just been immersed in the joy of getting engaged for a while when they had to deal with the matter of the cloth.
So Xue Li was unable to discuss medicine with her aunt that day. They hurried to explain the situation to Fairy Shao Yin who was studying medicine in the pharmacy. Fairy Shao Yin was shocked to hear that an outsider had sneaked into her fairy palace. She immediately asked them to pack up their things, take the cloth, return to the Wolf Territory, and summon the gods of all tribes.
Shao Yin herself stayed in Xuelian Peak temporarily, and checked Xuelian Peak inside and out with Gancao and Danggui to see if there were any clues or problems that were missed. After confirming that everything was fine, she would follow them.
After hearing her aunt's arrangement, Xue Li felt a little nervous and grabbed her aunt's sleeve.
Shao Yin saw her looking at him with concern, touched her head, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am not staying here alone, I am just a step later. After all, I have been practicing for more than 8,000 years. I am different from when I was in the mortal world. Others can't hurt me easily. I am more worried about you... But since the other party has come to our door, it means that they have already known your movements here. You can't stay here for long, and it's best to let other gods know about the cloth as soon as possible. You go back to the Wolf Realm first, I will bring licorice and angelica this time... It will take at least two days for me to check the Snow Lotus Peak inside and out, and I will be there soon."
Having said this, Shao Yin paused, then smiled at Xue Li and said, "I was originally planning to meet the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen, so this is just right, and I don't have to make a few more trips."
Xue Li knew that her aunt was referring to her engagement with Zi Lan. She didn't expect that her aunt was still in the mood to joke at this time. Seeing her aunt's playful eyes, her face immediately blushed.
But after hearing what her aunt said, Xue Li did feel a little relieved.
She said to her aunt anxiously, "Aunt, you must come here quickly."
"Um."
Shao Yin touched her face and smiled, "I'll be right there."
Xue Li said goodbye to her aunt, and then boarded the fairy car with Zi Lan.
…
Two days later.
Xue Li and Zi Lan's return to Wolf Realm went as smoothly as usual.
They quickly informed the Wolf King and Queen of what they encountered at Snow Lotus Peak. The Wolf King and Queen did not dare to underestimate the situation and immediately contacted the gods and immortals in various realms.
Ever since the Star-Holding Conference, the star-holding beasts of each fairyland have been on alert, searching everywhere for clues about the man in white. As soon as they got the news about the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen, they immediately came at full speed day and night. In just two days, more than half of the gods and immortals from the Star-Holding Realm had arrived.
Everyone gathered in the Wolf Palace and it had become a small star-controlling meeting, but the atmosphere was more serious.
"This piece of fabric... looks like something from the Ninth Heaven."
Upon hearing the news, Lord Xuanwu rushed over as quickly as possible, because he had the highest level of cultivation, the longest seniority, and the most extensive experience. The others could not make an accurate judgment, so they let him take a look first.
Xuanwu God squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, as if it was difficult to distinguish. After a long time, he said with difficulty: "There is a little cloud pattern on it, and it is taken off the white clothes. It does look a bit like the clothes of the Moon God in the past. But thousands of years have passed, and I can't remember what each piece of clothing of the Moon God looks like. It's hard to say. Let the experts judge."
As he said this, he handed the small piece of cloth to the Jade Rabbit tribe.
The gods and immortals of the Jade Rabbit Clan have already arrived, and the Jade Rabbit Princess immediately followed when she heard that it was related to Fairy Xueli.
Princess Jade Rabbit took the fabric first. She frowned and touched it in her hand.
Then, she said with certainty: "Yes, this is something from the Moon Palace!"
As she spoke, she held up the piece of cloth and showed it to everyone. "This is a plain-colored brocade woven by the white rabbits of the Jade Rabbit Clan from the clouds after the rain in the east. It is light and soft, and you won't feel cold even if you stand in the snow wearing only an outer coat. Apart from the Jade Rabbit Clan, only the Moon Palace has this kind of cloth. And we haven't used this kind of weaving method for thousands of years. This piece of cloth must have been on a piece of clothing for a long time."
Although everyone had been vaguely prepared when they heard Zi Lan's description of the appearance of the man in white, there was still silence at this moment.
Bai Yi Yu Xiao, with powerful cultivation, is extremely familiar with the Nine Heavens, knows the strengths and weaknesses of each race, and can easily travel between the Nine Heavens and disappear into thin air...
“… Moon Goddess.”
The Black Tortoise God uttered these two words weakly, then fell back dejectedly, as if all his strength had been drained from him and he had suffered a great blow.
The other gods and immortals were also shocked and looked at each other.
From ancient times to the present, who has not heard of the deeds of the Moon Goddess
Moreover, the Moon God was undoubtedly one of the most powerful among the ancient gods. It was extremely difficult to defeat him, and for a moment everyone felt at a loss.
Xue Li was sitting among the crowd, her heart pounding as she listened. Even though this was something that was closely related to her, when the name "Moon Goddess" was mentioned, Xue Li still felt very unfamiliar.
She asked, "But if that's the case, why would the Moon God hurt the Star Beast?"
Xuanwu Divine Lord sighed deeply and said solemnly: "I don't know either."
Another immortal asked, "But if it is the Moon God, what should we do next?"
Everyone started talking about it.
