Chapter 678 - 335: Love Confirmed
The moon is like a mirror, high up in the sky, reflecting the mountains and rivers.
The pavilion hangs alone on the mountainside, its flying eaves seem to be coated with a layer of frost, shimmering with a cold glow under the moonlight.
"Brother Lin."
There is no one around, only the gentle rustling of the wind passing through the leaves can be heard.
The silence between the two was suddenly broken by the mooing of a cow, which made Lin Chang’an annoyed for a moment.
"Moo!"
The Cyan-Horned Bull in the pond looked intently at its master and the woman who had fed it since it was a small calf, showing a look of flattery.
Yun Yao, usually as cold as ice, suddenly smiled, and casually took out two Spirit Fruits from her Storage Bag.
At some point, she had developed the habit of always keeping some Spirit Fruits for the Cyan-Horned Bull and the Phoenix Cry Bird in her Storage Bag.
"Alright, let’s let you and your companion meet."
Then Yun Yao gently tapped the Spirit Beast Bag, and a large Ice Flood Dragon turned into a stream of light and appeared in the pond.
The longtime friends, a bull and a flood dragon, were naturally extremely excited to see each other.
Lin Chang’an, seeing this scene, also withdrew his gaze and then took out a bottle of Elixir from his Storage Bag.
"I wanted to give this bottle of Elixir to you after it was refined, but I couldn’t contact you before."
This bottle of Elixir naturally contained the Clear Spirit Pill.
After hearing Lin Chang’an explain the effects of the Elixir, Yun Yao’s face lit up with a smile, without any hesitation, she directly took it into her arms.
"Brother Lin, this Elixir comes too timely. It can help me breakthrough to Core Formation Late Stage."
Core Formation Late Stage!
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise.
He hadn’t expected Yun Yao to have reached this point, but thinking about it, it made sense. Yun Yao had plundered the True Treasure Tower of Li Huo Palace while in Celestial Profound City.
This gave Yun Yao a large amount of resources during the Foundation Establishment stage, significantly speeding up her cultivation.
After Core Formation, she competed for the position of Saintess in the Profound Yin Demon Sect; the resources she had access to weren’t something an ordinary cultivator could compare to.
Her cultivation speed reaching this level is not surprising.
However, at this moment, he thought of Fairy Ni Chang, who was once the prodigy of Yue Kingdom, and when he had just reached Foundation Establishment, she was already a prodigy of the Core Formation stage.
After Core Formation, although there were benefits from the Sect, it couldn’t compare with the Profound Yin Demon Sect, plus the burdens of the Sect.
Now the distance has drawn closer.
"There’s another gift."
Under the moonlight, Yun Yao, who had been composed before, suddenly had a touch of panic in her beautiful eyes when Lin Chang’an took out the item.
For some reason, a sense of anticipation arose in her heart.
"This hairpin is crafted from Clear Spirit Jade, inscribed with several arrays, and has the effect of calming and assisting in cultivation."
After crafting the jade gourd, this was the material that was left, and after a thought, he used it to craft this jade hairpin.
Perhaps he also had some realization of his true intentions.
Although not a Magical Treasure, it is a rare Spiritual Object that aids in cultivation.
"Brother Lin, can you help me wear it?"
The barely audible voice echoed, with a hint of trembling.
And Lin Chang’an, looking at Yun Yao, showed a gentle smile, nodding lightly.
The two had known each other since they were young, supporting each other over the long years, both understanding their mutual feelings deeply.
Yet, in the face of adversity and insufficient strength, both had been striving hard.
At this moment, when she saw Lin Chang’an personally take out a jade hairpin, Yun Yao felt flustered in her heart, yet also at peace.
In a century of time, at this moment her expression became dazed, as if she had returned to the past.
"Sit still."
Lin Chang’an nodded with a gentle smile. Raising his hand, he broke off a branch from a peach tree planted outside the pavilion. As it flew into his palm, it was meticulously processed by his masterful control.
Wood shavings scattered, transforming in his hand into a wooden comb.
The black hair was meticulously combed into a high bun, adorned with an icicle-like jade hairpin.
"Brother Lin, the last time you combed my hair was also in a pavilion at night."
The black hair brushed against the person behind, Yun Yao looked at the moonlight tonight, with a smile devoid of any worries on her face.
And Lin Chang’an also nodded and said softly:
"Yes, at that time we had just left the Prince Mansion."
A group of them had left the Prince Mansion, eating and sleeping along the way to the Immortal Sect. Although there were no particular dangers, that period of time was the most unforgettable for Yun Yao.
"If only we could stay in that time forever."
Under the moonlight, the two leaned against each other in the pavilion, enjoying the warmth between them.
Lin Chang’an didn’t say anything, nor did Yun Yao.
It was as if they returned to that time, those years when they were still ordinary people.
After cultivating for over a hundred years, it was rare for them to have a time to completely open their hearts and relax together.
They sat quietly, leaning against each other in the pavilion, until the moonlight gradually faded, and a streak of golden clouds appeared on the horizon. Yun Yao lifted her eyes, revealing a weary smile.
"Brother Lin, I’m tired."
"Alright."
Gently embracing her waist, Lin Chang’an carried her across his chest, returning once again to the safe embrace she had felt as a young girl.
Even Yun Yao, with the Peak of Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivation, grew weary, slowly closing her eyes, falling into a dreamland without any defenses.
In this dream, Yun Yao released all the burdens in her heart.
In her sleep, there were no pressures from the Prince Mansion, Li Huo Palace, or the Profound Yin Demon Sect, as if she had returned to that most beautiful time.
...
When she awoke again, it was already the night of the next day.
Moonlight shone through the hole above the cave dwelling, turning into a beam of light illuminating the interior.
"Brother Lin, I’ve come this time to discuss the matter of the Secret Realm with you."
