Chapter 384 Sparkling Stars
After the ceremony of Pharmacist Li accepting his apprentice, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li declined the invitation to celebrate from their fellow disciples. They wanted to enjoy the tranquility that belonged to each other at this moment. The night gently enveloped the earth, and the stars were like diamonds dotted on the dark blue velvet. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li walked side by side on the way back to their residence. They held hands, feeling the warmth of each other's palms, and their hearts were full of longing for the future.
"Lier, what do you think will happen to us in the future?" Gao Xingchen asked softly, looking up at the starry sky, his eyes flashing with longing for the future.
Nan Li turned her head and looked at Gao Xingchen. The moonlight fell on her jade-like skin, which made her look even more cold. However, the tenderness in her eyes was like the warm spring sun, melting the coldness around her. "The road ahead is still long. What do you want to do?"
Gao Xingchen smiled slightly, and a picture emerged in his mind, a valley full of vitality, far away from the hustle and bustle, with clear streams, birds singing and flowers blooming, which is his ideal place to live in seclusion. "I want to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, build a house, and live a peaceful life with you. What do you think?"
Nan Li's heart was moved when she heard Gao Xingchen's description. She had been in the midst of swordplay for many years, and deep in her heart she longed for peace and stability. Gao Xingchen's idea coincided with hers. "Okay, let's find a valley and build a home of our own."
The two smiled at each other, and the determination and love in each other's eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as they walked hand in hand, no difficulties could stop them from pursuing happiness.
In the following days, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li began to travel around the Nine Star Realm, looking for the paradise in their minds. They crossed mountains and ridges, walked through dense forests, and finally found their home in a hidden valley.
This valley is like a forgotten corner of the world, with breathtaking scenery. It is surrounded by towering peaks, with waterfalls cascading down from the peaks, forming silver-white ribbons. At the bottom of the valley, a turquoise lake is like a huge emerald. The lake water is clear and reflects the blue sky and white clouds. The shore is full of colorful wild flowers, attracting countless butterflies to dance.
"It's here." Gao Xingchen looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, his heart filled with joy.
Nan Li also nodded gently. She was also attracted by this piece of pure land. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, there was only peace and beauty. It was their ideal home.
After finding the place they liked, Gao Xingchen and Nanli began to build their home. They cut down trees, built houses, reclaimed wasteland, planted flowers and plants, and turned the originally barren valley into the shape of their dreams little by little. Gao Xingchen used his superb planting skills to plant a variety of spiritual herbs in the valley. He selected the most suitable soil and orientation according to the characteristics of each spiritual herb, and took good care of them, making these spiritual herbs grow particularly lush. Nanli used her powerful spiritual power to inject vitality into these spiritual herbs. The originally ordinary spiritual herbs, after being nourished by Nanli's spiritual power, became more vibrant, and the efficacy was also improved several times than before.
With their joint efforts, the originally quiet valley has become more vibrant. Colorful spiritual herbs bloomed one after another, emitting bursts of fragrance, attracting countless butterflies to flutter among the flowers. In the clear lake, spiritual fish occasionally jumped out of the water, creating ripples. At night, fireflies danced in the grass, like stars in the night sky, embellishing the entire valley like a dream.
Ling'er and Pharmacist Li often came to visit them. Every time they came, they were shocked by the beautiful scenery of the valley. They had a picnic together by the lake, talked about everything, and shared each other's happiness and troubles. Pharmacist Li looked at the vibrant scene in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, "Xingchen, Li'er, you really turned this place into a paradise on earth!"
"Yes, it's really beautiful and peaceful here." Ling'er took a deep breath, feeling the fresh and natural air in the valley, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"How about we come here to retire when we get old?" Pharmacist Li said half-jokingly.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li smiled at each other, "Of course you are welcome, this will always be your home."
Happy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, night falls. It is time for Ling'er and Pharmacist Li to say goodbye. Looking at their departing backs, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li feel a sense of inexplicable loss. Perhaps, they can add some new vitality to this quiet valley...
After bidding farewell to Ling'er and Pharmacist Li, Gao Xingchen and Nanli walked hand in hand by the lake. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the lake, making the waves sparkle and it was a beautiful sight.
"Lier, do you think we are missing something?" Gao Xingchen looked at the distant sky, thoughtfully.
Nan Li stopped and turned to look at Gao Xingchen with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What else?"
Gao Xingchen took Nan Li into his arms, pointed at a few deer playing in the distance and said, "Look, although the scenery here is beautiful, it's a little too quiet. Can we adopt some small animals and let them feel the warmth of home?"
Nan Li looked at Gao Xingchen's gentle eyes and instantly understood his idea. She nodded gently: "Okay, let's do as you say. Together we will turn this place into a home full of love and laughter."
So, they began to look for homeless animals around the valley, including injured birds, lost fawns, abandoned kittens...anything they found would be brought back to the valley and carefully cared for.
Gradually, many lovely figures appeared in the valley. Birds sang on the branches, deer ran on the grass, and kittens rubbed against their feet. The originally quiet valley was full of vitality and vigor because of the arrival of these little lives. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at this scene, and their hearts were filled with joy and satisfaction. They farmed together, harvested together, and took care of the little animals together, living a simple and happy life.
On a sunny day, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li decided to hold a simple wedding. They built a flower stand by the lake and decorated their little world with flowers. Ling'er and Li Yaoshi also came to the valley early to help them decorate the wedding scene.
In the evening, the setting sun dyed the whole valley golden. Gao Xingchen was handsome in a white robe, while Nan Li was beautiful in a red dress. Witnessed by their relatives and friends, they made a vow to be together for life.
"Xingchen, I love you, forever and ever." Nanli looked at Gao Xingchen, tears of happiness flashing in her eyes.
"Li'er, me too. I will always protect you, forever." Gao Xingchen gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Nan Li's eyes and kissed her lips affectionately.
After the wedding, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li started their honeymoon. They traveled to every corner of the Nine Star Realm, experienced different scenery and culture, and left many beautiful memories.
However, just as they were immersed in happiness, a letter from afar broke the tranquility. The letter mentioned a shocking secret about the Heart of Stars, which made Gao Xingchen and Nan Li feel a little uneasy...
After the wedding, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li began their honeymoon. They rode on a spirit boat, soaring in the sky, overlooking the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Nine Star Realm. They once lingered in the prosperous imperial capital, feeling the hustle and bustle there; they also strolled in the quiet forest, listening to the breath and whispers of nature. They tasted delicacies from all over the world, experienced the customs and practices of different regions, and left countless beautiful memories.
However, just as they were immersed in this sweet happiness, a letter from Master Nanli, the former guardian of the Heart of Stars, broke the tranquility. The letter mentioned that the Heart of Stars was not fully awakened, and there was still a huge secret hidden, which was related to the safety of the entire Nine Stars Realm.
Nan Li looked at the handwriting on the letter, and his face gradually became solemn. Gao Xingchen also realized the seriousness of the matter, and a trace of uneasiness surged in his heart. They decided to return to the valley immediately, because they had a premonition that a huge storm was coming...
