Du Yanan looked up and said, "It looks just a little bit like it’s built on a mountain."
"There’s still a bit of distance to go. Everyone, save your energy; we might be in for a tough battle soon."
After these words, you all walked for about twenty more minutes before reaching the outer gate of the Star-picking Tower.
"Oh my heavens!" Xu Mingjie instinctively rubbed his eyes. At this mont, he was still a hundred ters away from the Star-picking Tower, and from this angle, Xu Mingjie had to tilt his head at least seventy-five degrees to see the tower’s pinnacle.
Deng Fang was also stunned by the grand building before them, saying, "This is so exaggerated; it’s almost catching up to the Oriental Pearl Tower!"
You took a deep breath and stepped forward a dozen steps, slowly pushing open the outer gate of the Star-picking Tower.
As the gate opened, an intoxicating fragrance swept in, almost as if it had a spirit of its own, swirling around you.
The chivalrous man noticed this and imdiately shouted, "Hold your breath! Be careful not to be enchanted by this floral scent!"
As the chivalrous man spoke, you had already taken several breaths of the flower-scented air.
This floral fragrance was enchanting; on the first sniff, everyone couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Once the scent entered your nose, a series of captivating images erged in everyone’s minds, and your bodies began to move involuntarily.
Since you were the one who opened the door, you were the most affected. Despite your considerable strength, this was ultimately a ga, and such an enchanting floral scent didn’t exist in reality, thus once you were affected, you fell into a peculiar state.
In a blur, you found that everyone around you had disappeared, and the place was shrouded in a dreamlike mist.
In this mist, where visibility was low, you walked forward slowly, not too fast.
"You’re here. You finally ca."
A soft, enchanting voice wrapped around your ear like a gentle and warm breeze, making it feel as if a stunning woman were nestled in your arms, softly blowing warmth into your ear.
This voice seed to erge from the deepest part of your mory, and you couldn’t help but ask, "Who? Who’s there?"
The mist in front of you gradually dispersed, and you found yourself in a classical and elegant room. The room was large, about a hundred square ters, simply yet completely furnished.
As the mist cleared, you noticed that two charming won stood in front of you at so point.
They were dressed in thin veils, standing gracefully, and when they turned around, you were stunned to find that the two were Li Qiyi and Wei Yingyue.
If it were an average person, upon seeing their true love from deep within, they’d naturally want to embrace them on both sides. However, seeing the two won approaching with a smile, your first reaction was confusion, not understanding why they were here.
Then, the two gently slid the fabric off their shoulders with their jade-like hands. Their clothing was already as thin as cicada’s wings, revealing glimpses of enchanting beauty.
Seeing the two unveiling their gauzy clothes, you imdiately closed your eyes and stepped back three steps. After three steps, all the scenery around you changed again, and the two won turned into light smoke and vanished.
When you opened your eyes again, you found yourself in a woman’s boudoir.
At this mont, in front of you, there was a large screen completely blocking your sight. Behind the screen, you seed to hear the sound of soone playing in the water, and a voice drifted through your mind that could srize the soul: "Co in, hurry in."
Actually, when you opened your eyes, your consciousness had already cleared a lot.
You didn’t acknowledge the voice, unsure who was behind the screen, and had no interest in finding out.
Just as you were about to step out of the room, you noticed a wooden shelf to your right, with several bamboo slips on it, one bound with silk.
You walked over and pulled out the bamboo slip bound with silk. As soon as you opened it, a golden light shot out from within, imprinting on your forehead, and after a mont, it faded away.
You touched your forehead and found no changes, while the bamboo slip was blank. You shrugged and turned to leave.
Just as your foot stepped halfway out the door, the scenery behind you transford instantly. Turning around, you saw the room you were in had beco completely empty, barren, with nothing inside.
The corridor lay beyond the door; you looked left and right, finding no one and no demon soldiers, while across the room, familiar sounds of weeping echoed. Upon approaching, you discovered it was Wei Yingyue’s voice.
"Why? I want to know why you are doing this to ?"
"Speak, Li Tian!"
"For you, I can give up everything, be your devoted wife, your little woman, waiting for you to return ho every day."
"Li Tian, tell , tell you love too."
Hearing this, you couldn’t help but cover your forehead.
Headache!
You certainly know Wei Yingyue’s goodness, a girl almost perfect that others would pray to gods for but never obtain. Yet, you avoid her, not for any other reason but because this isn’t a completely real world, everything is just an illusionary space.
Furthermore, you’ve never seen any trace of the Empress, and an ever-present shadow looms over you.
Not wanting those close to you to be discovered by them, bringing great disaster.
You know Wei Yingyue is lost in her inner illusion, crying to a virtual version of you. Standing outside the door, you sigh softly, then slowly open the door.
When the door opens, Wei Yingyue seems unable to see you, sitting silently, speaking to the air before her.
"Li Tian, I know you keep avoiding , certainly for your own reasons. But I just want to know one thing: is there really a place for in your heart? I need nothing else, just a true answer from you."
You know you cannot let Wei Yingyue continue, for she might otherwise beco utterly trapped within it.
At this point, you approached Wei Yingyue, clapping your hand heavily thirty centiters from her.
With a "pop," Wei Yingyue suddenly froze, and everything before her, including Li Tian, instantly dissolved into thin air.
Looking around in confusion, Wei Yingyue found you standing beside her.
"Why is it you?"
In a hurry, Wei Yingyue wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and turned away.
You smiled and said, "Sister Wei, let’s go."
With that, you walked out first.
Wei Yingyue looked at the empty room and let out a soft sigh before following in your footsteps.
