Chapter 546: The Withered and Flourishing Tree; "Fuguang, will you marry me?"
Chang Le did not open any door to go in, but just stopped in front of the doors of several rooms for a moment, letting the past come back and reconnecting with this place and the people and things that once existed in this place.
At sunset, Chang Le came down from upstairs: "I'm going to the forbidden area."
Luo Xuan looked at the sky and said, "The entrance to the forbidden area is deep in the forest on the mountain. It's not safe in the forest at night. Shall we send someone to escort you in?"
"No, I'm familiar with the place."
Luo Xuan hesitated, then insisted, "Young Master, I need to ensure your safety. I will only send someone to make sure the forbidden area is safe, and will not enter the entrance, is that okay?"
Chang Le did not refuse again.
Chang Le came to the north side of the Golden Palace. Under his feet was a bottomless cliff, and the varying shades of ink dyed the abyss.
The evening glow in the west penetrates the clouds, and the golden, red and black afterglow falls on the outlines of mountains in the distance and near. Under the outlines, ancient trees and forests fill the space with color, creating a magnificent and picturesque scene.
The entrance to the [Dragon Tomb Secret Realm] is deep in the uninhabited forest on the north side of Qianyuan Mountain.
Chang Le stood on the edge of the cliff and took a deep breath. The high mountains made the late autumn even colder, and the air he exhaled into his lungs was as cold as ice and snow.
Chang Le opened his eyes.
It was Fu Jiu’s pair of golden eyes, sparkling and gilded.
Chang Le used his feet to gain momentum, bent his knees, and straightened his legs. His body, which had been tempered by supernatural powers, compressed the power contained in it and exploded in an instant!
She glided down from the cliff like a meteor.
The white hair fluttered like a tail, and the air flow passing through the body turned into wind wings for leverage.
"Concentrate!" Chang Le pointed forward.
“Ding!” “Ding!”…
The water vapor in the air condensed instantly and formed into pieces of ice flowers in mid-air.
Chang Le twisted his waist, tapped the ice with his toes, a slight tinkling sound was heard, and he accelerated and flew out again.
The ice flowers shattered and turned into water mist and dissipated, as if lotus flowers were blooming with every step.
"clatter."
Chang Le stopped.
The tiptoes landed on the top of the tree canopy at the edge of the forest core, causing only the leaves to sway.
She stretched her hand forward, but her fingertips seemed to be squeezed by an invisible wall and could not be lifted at all.
"Sure enough, the core of the forest is off-limits."
Chang Le flew down and no longer flew forward.
The forest had grown dark in the evening. Even though many trees in the north had lost their leaves and only branches remained in late autumn, the remaining sunlight was still mostly blocked. Looking forward, a few pairs of eyes shining brightly appeared from time to time among the low trees.
Chang Le released [Formlessness], restored his original appearance, and walked inside.
She was wearing a grey sportswear, and the dark green ends of her hair matched the tone of the forest perfectly, and she almost blended into the night.
Only the pair of eyes that shone a little green light in the darkness made it look no different from the beasts in the forest.
"Come out, this is your home court." Chang Le hooked his finger.
One vine wrapped around her, another one lay on her shoulder, and the ones under her feet slowly spread out, forming an independent area.
Chang Le did not bring any lighting equipment. The vines were her eyes. In the darkness, her perception was actually sharper than that of a single eye.
To pass through the forest, one will inevitably enter the territories of some common animals or alien species living here. When living creatures approach, the scattered vines will automatically drive them away.
Except for one or two alien species that were a little troublesome and some blood was shed when they were driven away, Chang Le reached the core area of the forest without much trouble.
The center of the entire forest is over ten thousand square meters, but the main part of the core is a cold pond.
The color of the water in the pond is almost dark blue, and you can't see clearly what is under the water.
This deep pool is protected by earth and rocks, and on the south side there are two large trees with intertwined crowns, one with fallen leaves and the other with lush greenery.
If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that the pool of water and the two big trees look like an eye and eyelashes.
A black eye from the depths of the earth, between withering and flourishing, silently gazes at the changing sky.
Chang Le stopped and exhaled a breath of white air - the temperature here was very low.
She looked at the two big trees, and seemed to see a familiar figure sitting on the trees——
"Help the light."
"What's wrong?" Shen Fuguang stood under the tree, looking up at the little girl on the tree. The light yellow sunlight fell down, and her three-dimensional facial features naturally divided the light and shadow.
Chang Le patted the tree trunk and said, "You come up too."
Shen Fuguang flashed and sat next to her, then opened his arms towards her: "Hug?"
Chang Le shook his head: "No, your muscles are very hard, and they hurt my butt like a branch."
Shen Fuguang failed to succeed, and rubbed her head in frustration and helplessness.
"Help the light."
"Yeah." Shen Fuguang, who was in a trance, responded immediately.
Chang Le pointed at the dark pool and said, "Why can't I go down and play? The cat won't hurt me."
Shen Fuguang said: "This pool is very special. It is said that it is bottomless and connects to the underworld and the blue sky, connecting to another world after death. If a living person goes down, he can never come back."
"Can the living go to the underworld through here?"
"Thinking too much will only lead to death."
Fu Guang knocked her head and said, "You really believe it. It's just a legend."
"Oh."
Chang Le fell silent.
"Why is it that in spring, this dead tree sprouts, while that green tree begins to turn yellow?" she asked curiously again.
Shen Fuguang held her hand and explained to her:
"These two trees are called 'Withering and Flourishing'. They symbolize yin and yang. When one tree withers, the other will sprout and bloom. They can never be complete at the same time, but they will never be separated. They live and die together."
Chang Le was silent for a while, then said, "Like a pair of regretful lovers."
"Oh, my sweet baby has finally come to his senses and knows what a lover is?" Shen Fuguang teased.
Chang Le narrowed his eyes: "Well, there is a boy who said he likes me and wants to marry me when he grows up."
Shen Fuguang's face froze: "Who? Which pig... No, I mean, which brat?"
Chang Le turned his head away and ignored him.
Shen Fuguang hesitated to speak, and retracted his outstretched hand. He scratched his head and made three hundred small movements in a minute. Finally, he gave up the threats and inducements and moved closer pitifully:
"My dear, you will never hide anything from me, right? Just tell me, I promise, I will never do anything!"
"There's nothing you can do." Chang Le said indifferently.
Shen Fuguang only felt a heart attack.
She forced herself to smile: "Come on, tell me, who is it?"
Chang Le looked at him: "You."
"..."
"Eh?"
Shen Fuguang was stunned.
Chang Le rolled his eyes and said, "You actually blacked out? The night before last you were drunk, ran into my room, threw away my rabbit, and squeezed into my bed.
Then she hugged my feet and wouldn't let go, crying and saying things like, 'little sun', 'don't leave me', 'I like you', 'I'll marry you', and also said 'you can't leave me', 'you are so cute...' umm!"
Shen Fuguang covered her mouth with his hand, his face flushed but he pretended to be calm: "Ahem, I said something wrong after drinking, forget it immediately!"
Chang Le slapped his dog paws away and put his face close to him: "Why did you forget? Don't you want me?"
"Bang dong!"
Shen Fuguang's heartbeat was so loud that it drowned out the chirping of cicadas.
Chang Le quickly poked his Adam's apple and said, "You are swallowing your saliva! You feel guilty. Won't you marry me?"
Shen Fuguang opened his mouth, suddenly stretched out his hand and gently pushed her back: "You, you are against the little girl's face, how can I answer?"
"Oh, now?"
Chang Le suddenly changed his appearance from a teenager to eighteen or nineteen years old. His center of gravity suddenly changed as his body grew larger, and Chang Le pounced directly on Shen Fuguang.
Shen Fuguang leaned back to support himself, his nose tip almost touching Chang Le's nose tip, and his breathing was about to stagnate.
"What now? Fu Guang, will you marry me?"
The two of them were in a stalemate, each other's temperature invaded their bodies, and the air became pink and sticky.
