novelXi Haizi and Tian Chenji's Love Story
| ← Ch.1047 | Ch.1049 → |
It appeared as though the Divine Inspection Technique had revealed something astounding.
A drop of emotional tears?
The blue teardrop in his hand was actually a real teardrop?
Tears can also become a divine-rank material?
There was a look of disbelief on An Lin's face as he stared at the teardrop in his hand.
After a short moment, he looked up toward the Xi Haizi statue curiously.
He wanted to know what kind of love caused Xi Haizi to shed such a valuable tear...
Gu Yu had offered to tell him Xi Haizi and Tian Chenji's story before, yet it was a shame that he had refused the offer.
"An Lin, what are you thinking about?" Lan Xiaoni couldn't help but ask this upon seeing An Lin's expression.
"Please add the title 'Big Boss' before my name!" An Lin said solemnly.
"Okay, Big Boss An Lin!" Lan Xiaoni nodded without hesitation.
After eating the Netherblood Fruit and recovering her vital energy and strength, she was in a very good mood right now. Thus, she didn't feel like squabbling with An Lin over petty matters such as this.
An Lin caressed the blue teardrop and said, "I'm very curious about the story between Xi Haizi and Tian Chenji. Do you know much about it?"
"This..." A look of recollection surfaced on Lan Xiaoni's face.
However, before she could say anything else, one black and one white light orbs drifted before them.
"Fated persons, you can choose a light orb world and continue to search for treasures, " the statue of Xi Haizi interrupted.
"Hang on for a moment." An Lin waved his hand and turned his gaze toward Lan Xiaoni."Continue."
"Uh-huh. It all started when..."
Before Lan Xiaoni could complete her sentence, the statue of Xi Haizi interrupted again, "If you don't choose a light orb world soon, I'll put the light orbs away. The ancient tomb adventure will also come to an end."
An Lin: "..."
Lan Xiaoni: "..."
An Lin couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the statue.
Why did this statue seem so impatient?
Could it be that it felt ashamed watching Lan Xiaoni recount its past before it?
Good Lord!
Wasn't the statue supposed to be some sort of NPC-like thing? How could it have these kinds of feelings?
"Then I'll choose this one." An Lin pointed toward the white light orb.
Lan Xiaoni obediently followed suit and also pointed toward the white light orb.
A rush of dizziness overcame them once more.
When their visions cleared, they discovered that they were already above the clouds.
An endless stretch of white clouds lay before them, and they felt especially soft and fluffy underfoot. It was as if they were walking on sponges.
Around them was the vast blue sky. It looked especially clean, and it met with the white clouds far away in the distance.
It seemed as though this realm only had two tones of colors. Moreover, there was a sense of loneliness and distance in its simplicity.
"Perfect, there's no one here to disturb us. Come, hurry up and tell me Xi Haizi and Tian Chenji's story." There was a curious look on An Lin's face as he turned to face Lan Xiaoni.
Lan Xiaoni blushed upon seeing An Lin's sparkling eyes."I don't actually know that much. I've only heard a few seniors briefly mention it before.
"In the ancient past, an extremely terrifying fiendcelestial appeared in the West Sea. Its name was Ancient Heavenly Fiendcelestial. At that time, our Spirit Fish Clan steadily lost territory to this Ancient Heavenly Fiendcelestial. A large majority of the West Sea became part of the Ancient Heavenly Fiendcelestial's territory.
"Finally, a day came when the Ancient Heavenly Fiendcelestial wanted to destroy our Spirit Fish Clan once and for all. In fact, its army advanced all the way to our Sea Heart Palace. The Ancient Heavenly Fiendcelestial was far too strong, and even High Priest Xi Haizi and the clan leader were no match for it.
"Just as the Spirit Fish Clan was facing imminent destruction, the Heavenly Turtle Tribe, which had always been in seclusion, suddenly appeared. The two powerful tribes of the West Sea joined powers and eventually managed to defeat the Ancient Heavenly Fiendcelestial's army.
"At that time, the High Priestess of the Heavenly Turtle Tribe, Tian Chenji, was a shining star in that great battle, and she left a deep impression in the minds of the members of our Spirit Fish Clan. High Priest Xi Haizi... M-hm, it was love at first sight when he saw Tian Chenji. After that, it was a relentless process of chasing after her, being rejected, chasing after her, being rejected..."
When she said this, Lan Xiaoni looked away as if ashamed. A look of melancholy appeared on her face as she gazed at the clouds. It was as though she felt too ashamed to continue.
An Lin was astounded. A handsome merman chasing after a female turtle? How inspirational...
"The Spirit Fish Clan and Heavenly Turtle Tribe were both against this 'relationship'. The Spirit Fish Clan found it completely unfathomable that such a handsome High Priest wanted to marry a turtle. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Turtle Tribe also regarded Xi Haizi with disdain. They remarked that the High Priest didn't even have a portable turtle shell house. Without such a shell, who gave him the courage to chase after Tian Chenji?
"However, Xi Haizi never gave up...
"For some reason, after hundreds of years of relentless proposals, Tian Chenji surprisingly accepted Xi Haizi's feelings. She accepted this unfathomable proposal of love."
Lan Xiaoni couldn't help but chuckle."To be honest, I've tried to visualize Xi Haizi and Tian Chenji's wedding before. It must've been really entertaining."
An Lin nodded in agreement. Their wedding was definitely a sight to behold...
"However, the Ancient Heavenly Fiendcelestial came back with a vengeance, and the West Sea became a bloody battlefield once more. In order to slay the Ancient Heavenly Fiendcelestial once and for all, Xi Haizi and Tian Chenji chose to sacrifice their life forces. After killing it, they also learned of a shocking secret.
"This was a secret that could change the two tribes' fates. However, they both felt like it wasn't the right time to reveal the secret to their tribes. Thus, the two of them created a shared tomb at the bottom of the sea and placed all of the secrets within the tomb. They silently waited for a fated individual to discover and unlock their inheritances.
"The secret that lies within this tomb is clearly a private matter between the Spirit Fish Clan and the Heavenly Turtle Tribe. I never anticipated that the Heavenly Turtle Tribe would place all of their hopes on a human."
Lan Xiaoni finished speaking, and she gazed at An Lin with her bright blue eyes. There was a hint of tribal pride in her proud eyes.
"I also didn't expect the Spirit Fish Clan to place all of their hopes on you." An Lin chuckled."Underling Lan, I'm not picking on you. To be completely honest, if it weren't for me, then you would definitely be killed in this ancient tomb."
Lan Xiaoni: "..."
This remark cut quite deep, and Lan Xiaoni's pride was deflated like a popped balloon.
With a bam, it instantly lost all its air.
"Let's go, Underling Lan. Let's look for this world's treasure."
After listening to Xi Haizi's story, An Lin felt extremely content. Although he still didn't know about the story behind the teardrop, at least he had learned a bit about Xi Haizi.
M-hm... An individual who could pursue a female turtle relentlessly for hundreds of years was definitely a ferocious person!
The two of them didn't need to walk this time, and they were able to travel by flight.
Without any obstructions, it was naturally quicker to fly.
An Lin released his divine sense and scoured the surrounding environment. However, he didn't discover anything unusual.
This gave him quite a headache. There was nothing peculiar, and there was nothing unusual either. In other words, he had no leads at all.
They could only randomly choose a direction and then fly around like a headless chicken.
The clouds were pure white, and the sky was a boundless stretch of blue.
They flew aimlessly for a full hour, and they covered a distance of thousands of kilometers.
However, they still didn't discover anything!
They didn't come across any living organisms, let alone a small monster. There was absolutely nothing!
An Lin fell into a daze as he stared at the boundless stretch of emptiness before him.
