Above all spirits

Chapter 391 Star Lake (Part 2)

gradually.

Sunset dusk.

The evening breeze gently caressed my face, carrying a hint of coolness yet incredibly gentle.

The two of them sat nestled together atop the cliff.

Experience the charm of the fantasy world that you could only see in TV dramas before.

They listened quietly to the echoing sound of the flowing water, the rustling of the leaves, and the final songs of the birds returning to their nests...

Time passes slowly.

Yunyin's head tilted slightly away from Gu Yun's shoulder.

All of his weight was on Gu Yun.

Gu Yun chuckled softly.

"I told you you were tired, but you wouldn't believe me."

As a sacred being, it was theoretically impossible for Yunyin to feel sleepy in such a short time, but she still felt sleepy.

This proves that she had indeed overexerted herself, but that excitement masked it.

"If every day in the future could be like this, how wonderful that would be."

"Unfortunately... I can't stop moving forward if I want to achieve this."

Gu Yun sighed softly, and golden light shone forth. He used his qi to control the sword, causing the White Soul Sword to once again shatter the approaching mist, before it was planted diagonally behind the two of them.

In this undisturbed moment, Gu Yun couldn't help but close her eyes.

perhaps.

This will probably be the last time he experiences the feeling of sleeping.

Then enjoy it!

After the trip to Xingchen Lake, there will be no time to rest.

The curtain of night slowly rose.

The moon quietly climbed into the sky.

A silvery-white light shone down on this land.

Only at this moment can the true charm of Xingchen Lake be unleashed.

If daytime is a fairyland.

Then the night becomes a dream.

The shimmering surface of the lake reflected countless stars, making it seem as if it had become a bridge between the starry sky and the earth.

Pale golden starlight energy was mixed in with the light mist.

It seemed to linger on the lake's surface like the aurora borealis.

Everything was so incredible.

"What a beautiful lake, it's like the Milky Way is right under my nose."

"Even the Eternal Forest of the Elf Realm pales in comparison to it."

Yunyin exclaimed in amazement, her sleepy eyes revealing boundless gentleness and happiness.

A similarly soothing male voice gently sounded in my ear.

"you're awake?"

Gu Yun smiled calmly.

"It is said that if one is swallowed by the mist at night, the starlight on the lake can project the spiritual space of the swallowed person onto the lake surface. I don't know if it's true or not."

"I'm a little curious; it would look even better that way."

Yun Yin glanced at him, then punched Gu Yun in annoyance.

"They just say things that have no romance."

"Such a terrifying thing cannot be considered a paid enjoyment."

Subsequently.

Yunyin lowered her head to look at the lake again, and after a moment of silence, she slowly spoke.

"Gu, tell me."

"Are you going to be away for a while?"

"Because recently, it's like they're making up for something to me."

Gu Yun wasn't surprised. He simply turned his head slowly, looked at Yun Yin's slightly sad face, and couldn't help but pinch her cheek.

Hopefully, this will help Yunyin relax.

"Silly girl, what are you worried about?"

"You're so smart, there's no way I could hide it from you."

"I didn't intend to hide it from you."

"I need to go to the Upper Realm."

"But don't worry, my master is in the Upper Realm."

But even so.

Yunyin was still unable to calm the turmoil in her heart, because not long ago, Gu Yun had almost died once.

That was merely an avatar of a deity from the upper realm. If Gu Yun were to travel to the upper realm, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape. How could he not be worried?

"Gu, can you not go? No one in the lower realm can threaten you anymore. Wouldn't it be better to live a peaceful life?"

Gu Yun gently stroked Yun Yin's long hair with a hint of helplessness, unwilling to tell Yun Yin about the cruelty of the future, as that would make her life even more difficult in the coming years.

"But some people don't want us to live a peaceful life."

"Girl, wait for me for ten years, or at the latest twenty years, and then I will explain everything to you, okay?"

"Enjoy life now. As long as you're in the Demon Realm, no one can touch you."

The reason for this deadline is that he received Hua Qiandao's invitation to go to the Heavenly Court ruins around this time.

And it was precisely at this time that, given Yunyin and Xiaoli's talents, they should have been close to achieving pseudo-innate level.

Even if I planned to go to the Upper Realm later, they could go together.

Do you think I'll be happy without you by my side?

"How could that be? I saw you having a lot of fun while I was away in the Demon Realm."

"Are you asking for a beating? How can you call that the same thing?"

"I'm sorry, this is really the last time!"

"Humph!"

"If it weren't for the fact that we live in this world and our lifespans are longer, a mere twenty years would be nothing more than a blink of an eye."

"If you dared to say something like that on Earth, I would never forgive you!"

"Yes, sir! I guarantee I'll be back on time!"

……

"You said you wanted to go to Star Lake?"

"Then I'm going too."

"Don't even think about leaving me."

As she spoke, Yunyin leaped down from the top of the cliff, transforming into a streak of white light. She landed on the shore of Star Lake first, demonstrating her resolve, and waved to Gu Yun.

Because she also wanted to see what good things were at the bottom of the lake.

Gu Yun wouldn't go to a place without a reason; Yun Yin knew that Gu Yun was a person with a strong sense of purpose.

Seeing this, Gu Yun shook his head helplessly. The dark shadow under his feet gradually expanded and appeared behind Yun Yin in the next instant.

Gu Yun wouldn't refuse such a small request because of safety concerns. Chen Yuan had also said that there was no danger down there, since the dragons had already cleared it out once.

He sighed softly.

"Then let's go. Just like traveling through the void, we can wrap our bodies with our own energy."

"it is good!"

The two of them tacitly channeled their energy to isolate themselves from the lake water before slowly stepping into it.

Accompanied by bubbles rising after the whole body is submerged.

My gaze swept over it in a flash.

The lake, once dotted with starlight, transformed into a water world radiating a faint golden glow.

In an ordinary lake, the night would be dark, but Star Lake is different. It has the effect of gathering star pearls, and even the lake water inside is mixed with the power of stars.

A pale golden halo illuminated the entire underwater world, creating a hazy visual experience.

The two slowly descended to the bottom of the lake, where some star-shaped stones were scattered haphazardly.

Judging from the volume, it should still be in the early stages of condensation.

In other words, Gu Yun and his group were lucky. The Dragon Clan had visited this place not long ago and would not be paying attention to it for the time being. Even if they took the Star Pearl, they would not notice anything unusual in the short term.

"Let's go, we should be able to see the ruins of the merfolk in the middle of the lake."

Because they entered the water close to the shore, and the entire Star Lake is very large, even with the halo effect, they could not see the distant features clearly.
