Chapter 223 Deep in the Laurel Forest, a Mysterious Woodcutter?
After Di Jun and Fu Xi left, Nuwa summoned Lingzhuzi.
"saint."
Lingzhu bowed deeply.
"Lingzhuzi"
"You shall immediately go to the Taiyin Star and bring Fairy Xihe to the Nuwa Palace."
Lingzhuzi immediately accepted the order.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
……
Meanwhile, Di Jun and Fu Xi were on their way back to the Heavenly Court.
Di Jun's face was beaming with excitement.
Previously at Nuwa Palace, he saw Nuwa hesitate after learning that the person he wanted to marry was Xihe, which made him quite worried.
After all, he had noticed the close relationship between Niu Ben and Xi He at the previous sermon on Penglai Island.
Moreover, it was Niu Ben who led Xi He and Chang Xi away from the Taiyin Star and traveled to the mortal realm together for a long time.
During this period, the relationship between the two naturally became even closer.
"What if Xihe doesn't agree?"
"And that bull is a problem too!"
Thinking of this, Di Jun's face immediately showed worry, and he quickly looked at Fu Xi beside him:
"Xi Huang".
"What if... Xihe doesn't agree to this celestial marriage?"
Upon hearing Di Jun's question, Fu Xi smiled faintly and confidently replied:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
"If someone else had said it, Xihe might not have agreed."
"But don't forget, the one who is arranging a marriage for His Majesty this time is none other than the Sage Nuwa!"
"The decree of the sage represents the will of Heaven."
Even if Xihe was unwilling, she dared not openly disobey the sage's command!
At this point, Fuxi paused slightly, then smiled meaningfully and added:
"As long as Xihe agrees in person, this celestial marriage will be a done deal."
"Even if Niu Ben found out afterward, what could he do about the arranged marriage and the fait accompli?"
"Does he think he can forcibly abduct the bride and become an enemy of the Sage and my demon race?"
After hearing Fuxi's words, Di Jun felt greatly relieved, and the worry on his face vanished instantly. He couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Hahaha!"
"good!"
"Xi Huang, you truly are... meticulous in your calculations!"
"With the intervention of a sage, the heavenly marriage can be accomplished, and great merit is within reach!"
The thought of obtaining the merit of a heavenly marriage filled Di Jun's eyes with longing.
"At that time, with the merit bestowed by Heaven, my cultivation will surely advance even further."
"Our demon race will grow ever stronger!"
"The day when we unify the primordial world will not be too far away."
……
At this time, the moon is in its phase.
A figure moved through a vast laurel grove.
"This moon is so desolate."
"Besides the Moon Palace, there is only this osmanthus grove."
"I suggest that Xihe and Changxi, my two elder sisters, come back to the Ten Thousand Mountains with me later."
"Back home, there are mountains and rivers, flowers and grass, everything you could want, it's much more lively than here."
Niu Xiaomei muttered to herself.
After the earlier sermon, she did not return to the Ox Clan, but instead visited the Taiyin Star with Xihe and Changxi.
I originally thought that the Taiyin star must be an extremely beautiful place, so that it could have given birth to two peerless fairies, Xihe and Changxi.
But when the moon appeared, Niu Xiaomei was still quite disappointed.
Next, Niu Xiaomei continued walking deeper into the laurel forest.
To her surprise...
The further you go in, the thicker and stronger the laurel trees become.
"Wow!"
"What a fine osmanthus tree!"
Suddenly, Niu Xiaomei stopped in her tracks and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Her gaze was fixed on a huge laurel tree not far ahead.
Upon closer inspection, one could see a laurel tree with a gnarled trunk like a dragon, seemingly supporting the entire lunar sky.
In addition, an ancient aura emanated from the tree, and a tangible moonlight flowed through its branches and leaves.
Just a glance is enough to tell that this laurel tree is far superior to any other laurel tree outside.
Just as Niu Xiaomei was shocked by the huge laurel tree, she suddenly heard a series of "bang bang" sounds in her ears.
"Um?"
What was that sound?
Upon hearing this, Niu Xiaomei was secretly startled.
After a slight pause, she didn't think much of it and quickly followed the sound.
Before long, Niu Xiaomei had already circled around to the other side.
Upon closer inspection, they saw a burly man wielding an axe, chopping down a tree.
Even more surprisingly, each time the man's axe fell, it only left a faint white mark on the tree.
Immediately afterwards, the moonlight flowed and instantly repaired the mark that had been slashed.
The man, however, seemed not to notice and continued to swing his axe down.
The man gave the impression of being trapped in an endless cycle of logging.
"What happened?"
"Are there woodcutters on this Taiyin star?"
"I haven't heard Xihe and Sister Changxi mention it!"
"Moreover, this laurel tree is extraordinary; it is like an immortal tree, able to heal itself as soon as it is cut."
"If he keeps cutting like that, he'll never be able to cut it off."
After a moment's hesitation, Niu Xiaomei came to her senses and immediately demanded:
"Hey! What are you doing? Why are you cutting down trees?!"
Upon hearing this question, the man who had been concentrating on chopping down the tree was startled and immediately stopped what he was doing, turning his gaze to look at Niu Xiaomei.
"what?"
Upon seeing Niu Xiaomei, the man was utterly terrified.
It was clear that he was quite surprised by Niu Xiaomei's arrival.
"What's going on?"
"How could this creature possibly enter this place?"
The man muttered to himself, his mind filled with disbelief.
You should know that this place has been sealed with a powerful sealing technique.
Even if it weren't for ordinary beings, it would take a lot of effort to find them, unless one was proficient in sealing and restriction techniques.
After a slight hesitation, the man glanced at Niu Xiaomei with a smile and asked:
"Little sister."
How did you get here?
Upon hearing the man's question, Niu Xiaomei frowned slightly, finding the question rather strange.
After all, she got here without any obstacles along the way.
After a slight pause, Niu Xiaomei replied:
"What? How did I get here?"
"That's how I walked in!"
As she spoke, she casually stepped forward, looking quite innocent and naive.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, the man was greatly alarmed and immediately extended his divine sense.
However, upon this investigation, the shock on his face became even greater.
"strangeness!"
"I can't see through her at all!"
Shocked, the man relaxed his brow and murmured with emotion:
"Interesting, truly interesting!"
Meanwhile, in the laurel grove outside, two beautiful figures hurried about.
Naturally, these are Xihe and Changxi.
Having learned that Niu Xiaomei had entered the Moon Laurel Forest, Xihe sent Changxi to find her and bring her back.
Unfortunately, after searching the woods for a long time, Chang Xi couldn't find Niu Xiaomei anywhere!
After returning and informing Xihe, the two sisters went together to look for her again.
