Although she had been very thirsty, she refused to go into this creepy tea stall. When she patted the Wind Caller and prepared to leave, suddenly, she heard a few loud noises. There were fireworks in the sky and Gu Xijiu was shocked to see it.
When she looked up, the curtains on the tea stalls had been raised and revealed countless people. There were guards, maids, chancellors, princes among the crowd.
In the middle, it was actually Emperor Xuan. He looked happy and walked out together with his chancellors, "Xijiu, congratulations on your successful journey through the Dark Forest!"
Rong Jialuo and Rong Che who were standing beside him, smiled at her too.
Gu Xijiu was stunned.
She even doubted that she had fallen into her own illusion again. It was acceptable to see Rong Jialuo and Rong Che, but she never expected to see Emperor Xuan here!
Soon she realized that her visions were true.
Because there were many people running out of the jungle. It was a large group of people comprising common people and the army.
The people were a very passionate while and armies were well-trained.
Obviously, it was quiet in the jungle because the common people were under the control of the army.
It was the pride of the people in Feixing Kingdom when she could break through the Dark Forest safely. Particularly when they saw that Gu Xijiu managed to keep the Wind Caller as her spiritual beast, they cheered even more loudly.
Lu Wu was lying quietly in Gu Xijiu’s sleeve. However, when it heard the noise it revealed its head out from the sleeve to see the crowd surrounding it.
It had a purple light around its body and the crowd suddenly turned quiet when they saw Lu Wu.
It was a level eight spiritual beast!
Although some of the people could not recognize the species of Lu Wu, they could tell that it was a level eight spiritual beast from the purple light on its body!
"Xijiu, this is…?" Emperor Xuan opened his eyes widely and looked at Lu Wu. His heart was pumping fast.
In fact, Gu Xijiu did not want to expose Lu Wu yet. The halo around Lu Wu was too catchy and she was still not strong enough in terms of her spiritual power.
When she brought it with her, it was like a diamond that would catch people’s attention especially those with bad intentions!
Gu Xijiu purposely hid it inside the storage bag in her sleeve but she never expected that it would come out on its own.
When she still did not know how to answer Emperor Xuan yet, Lu Wu thought that it was fun to play with the crown of Emperor Xuan and jumped onto his head.
Emperor Xuan was stunned!
Gu Xijiu reacted with lightning speed and immediately caught little Lu Wu down from Emperor's Xuan head. She put it inside her storage bag again and as she was about to apologize to Emperor Xuan, someone beside shouted, "It was Lu Wu! It looked like the spiritual beast Lu Wu!"
When this person finished shouting, the crowd was even noisier in excitement!
...
It was a welcoming party inside the large tea stall.
There were laughter and chatter from the crowd.
Gu Xijiu was arranged to be seated at the chief position on the guest's side. Rong Jialuo and Rong Che were sitting next to her respectively.
It was considered extremely grand and supreme when a King of a country led his ministers to welcome the return of Gu Xijiu in this manner.
During the party, Emperor Xuan asked, "Xijiu, it is splendid news for Feixing Kingdom that you can actually break out of the Dark Forest within seven days! You have earned your pride in our country. I am very happy with it. So what are your plans for the future?
When he asked, the crowd suddenly became quiet and looked at her.
Obviously, Emperor Xuan was indirectly asking about her marriage arrangements with Di Fuyi. He wanted to know what choice she would make.
Gu Xijiu looked down and before she could answer, a servant ran into the tea stall and reported, "Your Majesty, Celestial Master Zuo has sent his guardian Mu Feng to come and congratulate Miss Gu!"
