Chapter 439 Phoenix Tail Feathers
"Ari, you didn't have a meal at King Caesar's, did you? We were so bored waiting for you." Mu Ze teased, but his eyes were full of concern.
Bei Mingyu then turned to the main issue, "How is it going? Is everything going well?"
Luo Li nodded, "Father and King Caesar are old acquaintances, so it went smoothly."
Her eyes fell on the cup in front of her. If her father and King Caesar had not known each other, things might not have gone so smoothly this time.
An Shuxue's eyes sparkled as she said, "Lord Luo Qi's connections are truly vast!"
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this, "Yes, worthy of being Lord Luo Qi!"
Luo Qi was the brightest sun on the Tianyuan Continent many years ago, and Luo Li, as his child, inherited all his connections.
This is undoubtedly a huge fortune.
Night fell, the stars twinkled, and moonlight streamed down the sky like a thread. Luo Li sat at the stone table, her fingers gently stroking the rim of the cup, her eyes deep, as if she was lost in thought.
In the box, a blooming crabapple tree exuded a faint fragrance, and the petals swayed gently in the night breeze, just like Luo Li's mood at the moment, calm yet with a hint of imperceptible waves.
Father……
She exhaled and stood up, "Let's go, let's go back first."
Mu Ze scratched his head, "Aren't you going to the party?"
Mo Yizhou shuddered, "Fool, look at what time it is now, the party has already ended!"
Luo Li was the first to turn around and walk out of the box.
The night is like a deep ocean, dotted with stars like scattered pearls, and the moonlight falls softly, coating everything with a layer of silver glow.
Luo Li's figure stretched out in the moonlight. She walked slowly towards the door, and every step seemed so steady, as if carrying endless thoughts.
Mu Ze looked at her back, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, but was immediately interrupted by Mo Yizhou's urging. Mo Yizhou gently patted his shoulder and motioned him to follow.
Several people walked out of the box together. The crabapple tree in the night was swaying gracefully in the breeze, and the petals were gently falling, as if bidding farewell to their departure.
They walked through the corridor, their footsteps echoing clearly in the empty night. The lights on both sides of the corridor flickered, and the interweaving of light and shadow added a touch of mystery and haziness to the quiet night.
Luo Li's eyes flickered in the light, as if hiding endless stories. She sighed softly, turned around and walked into the night.
After returning to their temporary residence, they went back to their rooms.
At the banquet, the red-robed elders of Tianyu Palace who were waiting for Luo Li had waited all night but had not seen Luo Li's shadow, and their faces turned black.
Luo Li naturally didn't know these.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the window lattice, dappling onto Luo Li's bed sheet. She tilted her head slightly, and the golden light danced on her long hair like a waterfall, as if coating her with a faint halo.
Luo Li's eyes gradually focused, and she rubbed her eyes gently, as if trying to erase last night's dream from her mind.
The room was filled with a light aroma of incense, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Luo Li sat up, stepping barefoot on the soft carpet, feeling the coolness coming from her feet.
She walked to the window, opened it, and a gust of fresh air blew in her face, mixed with the fragrance of the sea of flowers in the distance.
Luo Li took a deep breath, a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes.
Yesterday, she seemed to dream about Luo Qi and Mu Wanqing...
strangeness.
She raised her hand and looked at the lines on her palm. During this period of time, she had not thought about why she had traveled to the Tianyuan Continent...
Luo Li's fingertips gently traced the lines on her palm. The intricate texture seemed to record her unknown fate. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and her thoughts drifted like willow catkins blown by the wind.
She recalled Luo Qi's gentle eyes and Mu Wanqing's poignant smile in her dream, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart. Was that dream real? Why did it feel so real, as if she had experienced it herself?
Luo Li's gaze once again drifted out the window. The sea of flowers in the corner of the courtyard was even more dazzling under the sunlight. She seemed to see Luo Qi and Mu Wanqing strolling through the sea of flowers, laughing and talking. The scene appeared before her eyes, but quickly faded.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress her chaotic thoughts.
However, when she opened her eyes again, she felt more determined in her heart - she wanted to find the answer, she wanted to know why she came here and what it all meant.
"Ari?"
Just when Luo Li was immersed in her thoughts, An Shuxue's voice came from outside the door, her voice trembling.
Luo Li's eyelashes trembled, and she came back to her senses in an instant. She exhaled and said sideways, "I'm here."
Her voice was as calm as a clear spring, as if it was born to soothe people's hearts.
An Shuxue, who was outside the door, listened to Luo Li's voice and felt strangely calmer.
She exhaled and placed her hand on the closed door.
The door was slowly pushed open, and An Shuxue's beautiful face came into view. She placed one hand on her forehead, and there was a trace of deep fear and confusion in her eyes.
Luo Li was startled when she saw this, and then she smiled slightly, trying to soothe her emotions with a smile.
"What's wrong, Shuxue?" Luo Li's voice was gentle and firm, like a lighthouse at night, guiding those who were lost.
An Shuxue took two steps forward and grabbed Luo Li's sleeve tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Ali, I... I..."
Her voice was trembling, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Luo Li placed her hand on her shoulder and patted it gently, "Be at ease, talk slowly, there's no rush."
With Luo Li's comfort, An Shuxue slowly regained her composure.
She exhaled and slowly lowered her hand that had been covering her forehead since she entered the room.
Her face turned bitter and she pointed to her forehead, "Ari, I think I've mutated."
Luo Li looked in the direction of her fingertips and saw a mark in the shape of a phoenix tail feather appearing in the center of An Shuxue's originally smooth forehead.
The mark glowed with a faint crimson light, as if a phoenix was reborn from the ashes, and every ray of light contained an ancient and mysterious power.
The room suddenly became quiet, with only the light of the tail feathers flickering slightly, as if the flame of life was burning.
A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Li's eyes. She stretched out her hand and gently touched the mark, feeling a warm energy coming from her fingertips, like the body temperature of a phoenix, hot and kind.
An Shuxue looked at Luo Li nervously, her eyes full of questions.
Luo Li slowly withdrew her hand, her expression becoming solemn. She knew that this was not just a mark, it foreshadowed huge changes that would take place in An Shuxue.
Suddenly, Luo Li thought of something and breathed a sigh of relief, "Shuxue, you should be starting to awaken your Warcraft bloodline."
