Chapter 533 – The Golden-Eyed Black Haired Man
TL : GoldenLung
It was a pair of golden eyes that landed on Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu felt as though he had nowhere to hide in front of those eyes.
But it was also at this moment that a burst of heat suddenly came from his chest. Following that, he could clearly feel the Dragon God’s scale moving upwards almost instantaneously and reaching the area between his brows.
Even Lan Xuanyu could see a seven-colored halo spreading out from the Dragon God’s scale and covering the surroundings, including Lan Hudie.
A low groan came from the surface of the lake. The figure that was walking over immediately stopped and the golden light in his eyes disappeared without a trace.
Without that terrifying golden light, Lan Xuanyu could finally see the appearance of the person.
It was a middle-aged man with a handsome and resolute appearance. He was about two meters tall and had broad shoulders. He was wearing a black robe with golden patterns on it.
In the middle of his black hair was a strand of golden hair, making him look very peculiar.
Following the retraction of his gaze, the light around him returned to normal. Lan Xuanyu couldn’t see his eyes clearly from afar, but in the next moment, that black figure appeared before him.
Right after that, Lan Xuanyu felt as though the air around him had frozen and he couldn’t move at all, not even make a sound.
The man in black raised his right hand and placed it gently on Lan Xuanyu’s chest. He didn’t feel anything special, at least not in Lan Xuanyu’s perception. It was as if nothing had happened.
However, he could see the excitement in the man’s light golden eyes. The corners of his mouth were trembling slightly.
“That’s right, I didn’t see wrongly. It really is, it really is. I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it!” He was clearly agitated.
“Daddy, what are you talking about?” Lan Hudie tilted her head and asked the man in black.
The man in black shook his head gently and Lan Xuanyu felt his entire body relax as though everything had returned to normal.
The man in black’s expression became gentler. “How are your parents?”
Hearing his question, Lan Xuanyu replied instinctively, “Very good!”
The man in black trembled slightly. “They’re all here? Are they alright?”
Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows. “Do you know my father and mother?” He didn’t expect that his parents, who were researching soul beasts, would actually know a Great Beast. This person before him was undoubtedly a Great Beast, one that could transform into a human.
“En, of course I do.” The man in black revealed a bitter smile. “It was your father who abducted your mother. Otherwise…”
At this point, he suddenly paused and nodded towards Lan Xuanyu. “Maybe, this is heaven’s will. Just as I was about to take my most difficult decision, heaven’s will has brought you here. This is heaven’s will, it hasn’t forsaken us soul beast.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at him in confusion. “What do you mean?” Although he was extremely intelligent, he didn’t understand the meaning behind this muddled speech.
The man in black said gently, “You’ll know when the time comes. Hudie, send him back.”
“Daddy, is that it?” Lan Hudie raised her head and looked at her father doubtfully.
“En, that’s it. You can bring him over to your place to take a look and accompany him back tomorrow.” After saying that, the man in black nodded towards Lan Xuanyu. With a flash, he was already at the center of the lake and disappeared without a sound.
“Do you understand what my daddy said?” Lan Hudie looked at Lan Xuanyu and asked doubtfully.
Lan Xuanyu shook his head. “I didn’t understand! Why have your eyes turned purple?”
Lan Hudie said, “Because of the environment here. Daddy has transformed this place into the most suitable one for us to cultivate. Here, our strength is especially suited for cultivation. I have another suitable place to cultivate. At every place I will cultivate for a period of time. Let’s go, I’ll bring you to my house to take a look.”
With that said, Lan Xuanyu was placed on her back again. Lan Hudie looked at the lake reluctantly and suddenly leaped up, sprinting through the forest.
The words of the man in black lingered in Lan Xuanyu’s mind. The only useful information he got from his words was that this person should know his parents. That was all. Other than that, there didn’t seem to be any other meaning.
But from the looks of it, the man in black seemed to have understood something, but what was it?
‘The world of adults is really a little hard to understand!’ Lan Xuanyu felt that his intelligence wasn’t enough.
Right at this moment, the path ahead suddenly opened up and the light became stronger, causing Lan Xuanyu, who was deep in thought, to look forward subconsciously.
He was surprised to discover that the scenery in front of him had completely changed. It was another lake. Furthermore, he realized that Lan Hudie was moving swiftly along the lake.
Their current location seemed to be connected to the lake water from before. The two lakes were only connected by a small river less than 10 meters wide.
But the strange thing was that all the trees around the lake were dyed black. But at this moment, when they saw the other lake, the first thing they felt was that everything around them lit up.
That’s right, it was bright. This was because all the trees and plants around this jade green lake were gold in color, completely different from the black color.
Gold? It was actually gold? And it was a gold that was filled with sunlight.
Lan Hudie stopped in her tracks. Lan Xuanyu was once again pulled down by her. At this moment, Lan Xuanyu realized that Lan Hudie’s fur was covered in a faint gold color, which was very strange. When he looked into her eyes, he realized that her eyes’ color had turned into a faint gold color, and her aura had turned from dark and gloomy to full of sunshine.
Her aura actually changed along with the location?
There was actually such a strange soul beast?
No! Not only was she strange, but this place was also extremely strange! The two lakes looked different in color, but the difference in color was due to the different colors of the trees around them. They were both filled with dense life energy, but there seemed to be something different between them.
The trees on both sides were also black and gold in a distinct color. It looked as though they were connected to each other, and it was amazing.
Thinking back to what Lan Hudie had said before, Lan Xuanyu vaguely understood that everything here wasn’t like this from the start. It was because the soul beasts had transformed this place since coming to the Elven Planet that everything here changed.
It was simply too strange, but the dense life energy made him feel extremely comfortable. He really wanted to soak in the lake and cultivate!
Right at this moment, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a force behind him and he lost control of his body as he fell forward.
With a splash, he fell into the lake.
Behind him, Lan Hudie smiled and retracted her claws, her eyes filled with pride. “Who asked you to be in a daze? Hehehe, how interesting.”
As she spoke, she leaped into the lake as well.
Lan Xuanyu was first startled when he fell into the lake, but he immediately guessed that he was pushed down by Lan Hudie and didn’t panic. He had cultivated in the Sea God Lake many times, so he had experience soaking in a lake filled with life energy.
