Chapter 2247
Before we knew it, it was already dark.
Chen Xuan did not rush to find Yu'er herself. Instead, he accepted Qing Tian Xiao Lou's suggestion to revisit Wanbao Mountain and walk the same path as before.
It was still the same phoenix carriage, made entirely of thousand-year-old phoenix wood and adorned with luminous pearls, shimmering with light.
The chariot was still driven by the same primordial spirit puppet maid, with a graceful figure and dignified manners, speaking the mechanical language unique to puppets.
My friends and brothers who have been with me for many years are still by my side.
As the car traveled along, Chen Xuan gazed at the familiar yet unfamiliar street scenes outside the window, his mind becoming increasingly clear, and his past insights slowly settling in his heart.
"After you left, there was an old friend who never forgot you," Qing Tian Xiao Lou said, winking at Chen Xuan with a hint of mystery.
"An old friend?" Chen Xuan's heart stirred - Wanbaoshan was the place where he first met Tianxing and Zimo, and the lively scene of that treasure-hunting party was still vivid in his mind.
"You'll find out soon enough," Qing Tian Xiao Lou said, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and did not delve into it further—with his current deductive abilities, knowing the answer would only take a moment, but the joy of such a reunion would be somewhat diminished.
The phoenix-shaped carriage slowly glided through the no-fly zone of the core commercial district, its dark curtains fluttering in the wind, revealing figures inside. This blatant outing, coupled with the distinctive design of the phoenix-shaped carriage, instantly drew gasps of astonishment from the cultivators on the street.
"It's the Phoenix Carriage! It must be Lord Qingtian Marquis himself who has arrived!"
"Senior brother, why does the Marquis prefer this phoenix carriage instead of the Heavenly Dragon carriage bestowed upon him by His Majesty for his wedding?"
Shh, don't ask too many questions! Be careful what you say!
A white-haired rogue cultivator standing nearby, however, seemed unconcerned and explained to the young disciple beside him:
"The Marquis is reluctant to give up the Phoenix Carriage, because this carriage carries the childhood friendship between him and Prince Chen Xuan of Longxia—the two of them rode in this carriage to visit Wanbao Mountain together back then."
The young disciple nodded blankly, then his eyes lit up with excitement. He tugged at his master's sleeve and said:
"Master! Is the Dragon King the peerless genius who represented the Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Palace in the Immortal Fate Gathering back then, and who swept all the way to win first place?"
The old man stroked his beard, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, and slowly nodded: "It was him."
"Master! When I grow up, I will also participate in the Immortal Destiny Gathering, win first place, and make you proud!"
Before he could finish speaking, his senior brother slapped him on the back of the head and laughed, "With your cultivation level, you'd only be cannon fodder!"
wow——
Amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the assembled cultivators, the phoenix-shaped carriage slowly landed. The curtain was gently lifted by a puppet maid, and Qing Tian Xiao Lou, dressed in magnificent robes and wearing a tall crown, exuding an air of refined elegance, was the first to alight.
Following closely behind was a young man in black. He had long, smooth, snow-white hair with a faint sheen at the ends. A layer of mist swirled around him, obscuring his face, yet he exuded an invisible aura that caused the surrounding cultivators to instinctively hold their breath.
"Who is this person? To receive such a high honor from the Marquis of Qingtian, who would personally lift the curtain for him?"
"With such a high-ranking official, could he be a prince from the capital or a top nobleman?"
"Wait! Look at the entrance of Wanbaoshan—could that person surrounded by a group of fox spirits be the leader of Wanbaoshan, the fox spirit fairy?"
"It really is her! As expected of the Azure Sky Marquis, the procession is so grand, even the Fox Fairy came out to greet her personally!"
There are many legends about fox spirits in folklore.
A thousand years ago, she was merely a servant and steward at Wanbao Mountain. After the Immortal Affinity Gathering, she was suddenly thrust into the leadership. In just a thousand years, she broke through from the Foundation Establishment Realm all the way to the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm, a speed that left everyone astonished.
There were rumors that she and Qing Tian Xiao Lou were secret lovers, but as Hu Mei'er's cultivation level far surpassed that of Qing Tian Xiao Lou, who was stuck at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, the rumors were dispelled.
The current fox spirit is dressed in purple, with a bewitching figure. Her eight fluffy fox tails gleam with a lustrous sheen and sway gently in the wind, exuding an alluring charm. Before she even speaks, an invisible seductive aura emanates from her, causing the surrounding cultivators to become heavy-hearted, their eyes reddening, and almost losing their Dao hearts.
