Chapter 189 - Kongjian Clan
In the deep space, that was hidden from all the realms and worlds, there were an old man and a young woman who was meditating in the middle of the starry sky. Both of them wore a black robe, with stars printed in it. These two's aura was like they were some named gods of this space.
The old man, who had very long black hair, opened his closed eyes with shock and could not help but take several breaths to calm himself.
The young woman, who looked very mature with her voluptuous body with a long ponytailed black hair, asked in panic and worry, "Master, are you alright?"
Her voice was so soothing as if it was a melody came from the Heavens. Her dark-green eyes, that were filled with worry, was like a shadow looming the dark sky with white light.
The old man finally calmed himself down and smiled, "Little Ru, I'm okay. I was just surprised of what had happened just a while ago."
"Something happened?" Little Ru asked with a surprised expression, "What is it, Master?"
"Someone killed the space vortex I personally cultivated." The old man sighed, with indescribable expressions, "That I cultivated and put in the lower world called Grivexia."
"That?!" Little Ru could not help but bounce backward in shock, that her big melons also bounced. She could not help but say, "That space vortex was already something that those Grivexians could not defeat! I mean, the cultivation realm of the space vortex, especially in the final form, is very terrifying. Right?"
"That's what I thought too." The old man rubbed his chin and pondered, "That space vortex could not be killed even with thousands of Immortal Emperors teaming up. Yet, it was only defeated by a single person."
.
"By a single person?!" Little Ru could not help but suck a mouthful of cool air and asked, "How is that possible...? That's really shocking."
"Well, that's not what shocked me the most that I almost lost my breath." The old man smiled wryly and said, "He is just a young boy, I mean, he's around twenty."
"No way..." Little Ru could not help but be shocked once again, "Master, do you mean that he came from the higher worlds?"
"Higher worlds?" The old man chuckled and said, "Well, this is just my speculation, but do you remember that major issue that came from the Highest Heaven?"
"From the Rou Celestial Realm?" Little Ru was blanked for a moment. However, the moment she realized something, "Master... d-d-don't tell me..."
"Haha! This is just mere speculation, Little Ru." The old man looked into a far distant star, "But when I see how that boy moved, and how he fought with my space vortex, I already confirmed that he had an extreme similarity with His Majesty Fan Rou. You see, I have fought so many battles with His Majesty that I know almost everything about him."
"So that person who killed your space vortex is... His Majesty Jin Rou?" Little Ru's body trembled, as she was very flabbergasted.
"Well, if my speculation is right, then yes." The old man smiled, "Shocking right? That's the reason why I was so stumped too, unable to breathe for a moment."
"So where is His Majesty Jin Rou now?" Little Ru became so happy all of a sudden and shook the old man by the shoulders.
"Little Ru, calm down, will you?" The old man chuckled and said, "His Majesty Jin Rou is going to the Sea Continent of Grivexia and is now currently traveling with two young men. They are probably Grivexians."
"Sea Continent?" Little Ru repeated, "Then I will be going to Grivexia right now!"
"You can't, Little Ru. At least, not for today." The old man said with a very serious expression, "Remember that this is your meeting day with your fiance. How could you abandon him all of a sudden?"
"Why would I care?" Little Ru rolled her eyes in annoyance and disdain, "I really don't care if that person came from the mighty Dong Clan. I really don't care about his status. I don't want him. I don't want to marry him!"
"I know, Little Ru." The old man said, and sighed, "However, what can we do? The Kongjian clan wants to ally with the Dong Clan, so marriage is the best way to tie the two clans."
"But why would it need to be me?" Little Ru could not help but stomp her foot in dissatisfaction, "There were a lot of ladies in our clan! Why don't the elders pick one of those, instead of me?"
"Silly child. They could not. They don't have the same status as you have. You're already matured, so I know that you already understand this very well." The old man said.
"Tsk." Little Ru could not help but click her tongue. That's right, as this was decided by the whole clan, how could she have the guts to decline this? Although she did not want this, for the sake of the clan, she would. After all, there were a lot of enemies waiting for them to be pinned down, and grab the right for managing the space.
"You know how grave this is, right?" The old man said, "Our Kongjian Clan needs an ally, a strong ally at that. And the Dong Clan has the most qualifications. We are not like those Prime Clans who stood tall before the Rou Celestial Family."
He tapped Little Ru's shoulder and continued, "I know, it is your dream to meet His Majesty Jin Rou for several years now. And I know, in the past, you had the urge to travel upwards to the Highest Realm and wait if you could meet him in person. I understand that if you really want to meet him, the best way is now, which is he is still roaming around the lower worlds. But you need to put the clan in your first plate before His Majesty Jin Rou."
"But what if..." Little Ru did not want to miss this opportunity. After all, when would be the next time that they could have a trace of Jin Rou?
"Rest assured, His Majesty Jin Rou seemed to be staying in that world for a while, so you don't need to be worried. Though I could not trace His Majesty once he was out of the space, I could give you some heads up so that you will have an easy time finding His Majesty in the Sea Continent. So, give your best and mend the clan first, okay?" The old man said with affection.
"Alright, Master." Having the word of her master, Little Ru felt reassured and left. She was planning to meet that annoying guy now so that she could fix her matters before she descends to the lower world, Grivexia.
