Chapter 310
Li Su’s initiative in starting the conversation actually eased Long Kui’s anxiety. After hearing about the lantern festival, she considered it and replied, “Alright, I was planning to travel on the land as well.” And so it was. On this day, Li Su brought Long Kui to the Central Continent. Along the way, he didn’t engage in excessive conversation, nor did he try to get closer to her deliberately. However, when passing through so unique landscapes or natural sceneries along the way, if Long Kui’s gaze showed curiosity, Li Su would provide a brief explanation.
So, they journeyed to the Central Continent, where a large lantern festival was taking place. It was jointly organized by the Returning Origin Sect and several second-tier immortal sects, and it was open to all cultivators. Such a lantern festival occurred once every hundred years and was similar to the Northern Region’s Ascension Conference. In each lantern festival, every immortal sect would select, to a greater or lesser extent, so outstanding cultivators.
Many talents who had left the Northern Region had entered other immortal sects through such lantern festivals. The festival was particularly lively, and Long Kui wore a veil on her face while using a magical technique to conceal the small horn on her forehead so as not to attract too much attention.
Li Su cast a small spell on himself to make it difficult for others to recognize him. Otherwise, they would be sward by countless cultivators. “There are so many people here. Under the sea, we’ve never experienced anything like this,” Long Kui said, finding everything fascinating. She even tried the cultivator version of candied haw berries. “These are made from a type of spirit herb. They’re not only delicious but also have so beneficial effects,” Li Su explained, leading Long Kui through the lantern festival, stopping here and there. Their conversation grew more and more lively.
“Hey, Su, what’s going on over there?” Long Kui asked with interest. Li Su looked over to see a tall building where a poetry gathering was taking place. Among the cultivators, so enjoyed poetry and literature. After all, the first step for cultivators was literacy, and many of them liked to cultivate their hearts and minds through reading.
“Let’s go take a look,” Long Kui suggested, as she had never witnessed such an event before. Soon, the two of them arrived at the tall building where the poetry gathering was taking place. Cultivators were composing poetry based on the scenes they could see from the high building. Occasionally, Nascent Soul cultivators would fly over to compose a poem, earning applause from the crowd.
“Su, can you write poetry?” Long Kui asked, listening to the beautiful verses composed by the cultivators and then looking at Li Su. Li Su took a step forward. All the cultivators turned their attention to him. Li Su picked up a brush but didn’t write on paper. Instead, he started to write in the air. As he moved the brush, golden words appeared in mid-air. This display made many of the cultivators’ eyes light up, realizing that the cultivator before them was truly a remarkable expert.
“The white sunsets beyond the mountains, the long river flows into the sea. To behold a thousand miles, ascend yet another floor.” One of the cultivators recited the poem that Li Su had written.
What a wonderful poem! Another cultivator’s eyes sparkled, and he couldn’t help but praise it. Other cultivators also read the poem and joined in the applause. “We didn’t expect that you, sir, not only have extraordinary charm but also such a remarkable talent for poetry.”
The host of the poetry gathering was a Nascent Soul cultivator, but as soon as he appeared, he felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at Li Su. It was because he had seen Li Su before. “Is the senior by any chance Li Senior?” The Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t help but feel excited. “Senior Li?” The other cultivators soon realized that soone who could make words linger in the air for an extended period must be a highly skilled individual. They were surprised that it was Li Senior. “Li Senior… Huh, where did he go?” So cultivators were getting excited, but Li Su and Long Kui had already disappeared.
This sudden disappearance confird Li Su’s identity, and news of his appearance at the Lantern Festival and the poem he left behind quickly spread. It caused quite a stir at the festival, and countless cultivators rushed to see the poem left by Li Su. In the years to co, this tall building would beco a “must-visit” spot for cultivators.
On the other side, Li Su discreetly let go of Long Kui’s hand. He had just pulled her away from there. Long Kui’s delicate face turned slightly red. During their subsequent tour, she beca noticeably more reserved. This continued until late into the night. Li Su brought her to an inn and settled in for the night. “Su, I’m ready,” she said.
However, in the middle of the night, Long Kui ca to Li Su’s room. Her face was flushed with a rosy hue, but she appeared resolute. For her, attempting to achieve the rger before the impending final Great Tribulation was like a desperate last stand. If it weren’t for the larger context, she wouldn’t have considered leaving behind descendants. However, because of the impending final Great Tribulation and her acceptance of Li Su along the way, she quietly summoned the courage to act despite her shyness. She didn’t have much ti left.
Seeing Long Kui in this state, Li Su handed her a piece of paper. After Long Kui took the paper and saw the content on it, her eyes lit up. It was a poem written by Li Su for her. “I once boasted of matchless beauty, relying on my captivating charm.” Long Kui softly recited these two lines, and her gaze gradually filled with emotion. Li Su gently embraced her. This night slowly beca incredibly romantic.
