Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed
Chapter 245: The Feast (3)
Xueyao was also shocked. She had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
This sudden change seems to be inextricably linked to oneself or the people around him.
She secretly clenched her fists and decided to protect herself and those around her no matter what happened.
At this moment, a young female fairy suddenly stood up, her eyes were firm and resolute, as if she had already made some decision.
"I am the person you want to verify." Although her voice was soft, it was clearly heard throughout the banquet hall.
All eyes instantly focused on the young fairy. She was tall and straight, with a delicate face and an unmistakable glint in her eyes. She slowly walked towards the man in black, each step seeming so determined, as if she was approaching a turning point in her destiny.
"You?" The man in black was slightly stunned, then revealed a playful smile, "Are you sure? Once you start, there's no turning back."
The fairy didn't flinch. She nodded, staring directly into the black-clad man's eyes, as if trying to discern a clue. "I'm certain. No matter what the outcome, I'm willing to bear it."
The Palace Master frowned upon seeing this, clearly concerned about the fairy's impulsive behavior. She wanted to step forward to stop her, but ultimately stopped and chose to respect the fairy's decision. After all, it was her own choice, and no one else could interfere.
Seeing this, the man in black stopped talking. He waved his hand, and a black light instantly enveloped the Heart of Orchid. Then, the gem began to emit a dazzling blue light, illuminating the entire banquet hall like daylight.
Under the blue light, the fairy's figure gradually became transparent, and her inner world seemed to be fully revealed to everyone. Everyone could clearly see her joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, her determination and hesitation, her kindness and tenacity...
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone held their breath, wanting to see what answer the "Heart of Orchid" would give.
However, just as everyone was eagerly anticipating the event, the blue light suddenly flickered violently, as if encountering some strong resistance. Then, with a loud "bang," the blue light suddenly exploded, shocking everyone in the banquet hall back.
When the dust settled, everyone looked at the "Orchid Heart" again, only to find that it had lost its previous luster and turned dull. The young female fairy stood there in confusion, clearly unaware of what had happened.
"How could this happen?" The man in black's face changed slightly, and he obviously did not expect such a result.
Upon seeing this, the Palace Master immediately stepped forward, protecting the fairy behind her while warily eyeing the man in black. "Who are you? Why are you treating a guest of my Hundred Flowers Palace like this?"
The man in black was silent for a moment, then slowly took off the mask. When his true face was revealed, everyone opened their mouths in surprise.
"It's him!" someone exclaimed.
It turned out that the man in black was an important figure from an alien race. He came to the heaven to test the strength of the heaven and look for opportunities to stir up trouble.
"Humph, so you already knew my identity." The man in black sneered, "But, so what? Since I dared to come here, I didn't plan to go back alive."
As he spoke, he flashed and was about to attack everyone. However, at this moment, a crisp sword sound suddenly rang out, and the ice-blue sword light cut through the sky like lightning, heading straight for the man in black.
"Want to run? Not that easy." Xue Yao appeared in front of the man in black like a ghost, holding a long sword. She swung the sword, and the sword energy was like a dragon, pointing at the man in black's heart.
Seeing this, the man in black's face changed drastically, and he quickly used his magical powers to resist. However, Xue Yao's swordsmanship was too exquisite, and he was unable to resist at all. With a "puff", the man in black's chest was pierced by the sword energy, and blood spurted out.
"You..." The man in black looked at Xue Yao in disbelief, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger.
"Remember, no matter who you are, if you dare to act wildly in the heaven, you will never get away with it." Xue Yao said coldly, and then swung her sword, cutting the body of the man in black into two pieces.
With the fall of the man in black, the tense atmosphere in the banquet hall finally eased. Immortals came forward one after another to express their gratitude and admiration to Xue Yao, but Xue Yao simply smiled and returned to her seat.
She knew that this sudden incident was extremely dangerous. If the man in black escaped, no one could predict what would happen next. If he couldn't escape and took the opportunity to self-destruct, the consequences would be even more disastrous.
Fortunately, with her wit and courage, she and everyone else resolved the crisis. The atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually returned to its previous lively and harmonious state, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.
Yet, Xueyao's heart was restless. She gazed at the dimmed "Orchid Heart," filled with doubt and confusion. Why had this gem, once hailed as capable of seeing into the heart and discerning authenticity, failed at this crucial moment? And what secrets lay hidden within the young fairy's inner world, triggering such a strong reaction?
The banquet continued, but Xueyao no longer cared to participate. She found an excuse and quietly left the banquet hall, determined to find the answers on her own. She believed that behind all this, there must be a deeper secret waiting for her to uncover.
Walking on the quiet palace road, the moonlight sprinkled on her body like water, adding a bit of mystery to the night. Xue Yao thought to herself, maybe she could go talk to the young fairy. After all, she was the instigator of all this and the person most likely to know the truth.
So, she quickened her pace and asked for the fairy's address. When she gently pushed open the door, she saw the fairy sitting by the window, staring blankly at the moonlight outside. Hearing the sound, the fairy turned around and saw that it was Xue Yao. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"You're here." The fairy said softly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.
Xue Yao nodded, walked up to the fairy, and looked at her seriously. "I want to know what exactly happened in the banquet hall just now? Why did the 'Heart of the Orchid' suddenly lose its effect? And why did you stand up so impulsively?"
The fairy was silent for a moment, as if she was gathering her thoughts. Then, she slowly opened her mouth and told everything.
It turns out the fairy's name is Zi Ling, and she belongs to a hidden family in the celestial realm. For generations, her family has guarded a secret, one inextricably linked to the "Heart of the Orchid." According to ancient family records, the "Heart of the Orchid" is more than just a simple gem; it holds an ancient and powerful power that can penetrate the human heart, yet is also affected by the deepest emotions of the human heart.
The reason why Zi Ling stood up was because she discovered that there was a special blood flowing in her body, which created a mysterious connection between her and the "Heart of Orchid".
She had a premonition that the man in black had ulterior motives and was worried that if the "Heart of Orchid" fell into his hands, it would cause an unpredictable disaster.
