Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2337: The Dragon Queen (1)



Yun Lintian and Long Xuan reappeared in a bamboo forest. Yun Lintian looked around briefly and nodded in admiration. The area was exceptionally clean and refreshing, as if no impurity could enter.

"Let's go," Long Xuan said and stepped forward.

As Long Xuan and Yun Lintian ventured deeper into the bamboo grove, the air grew heavy with an ancient, mystical energy. The bamboo stalks, once swaying gently in the breeze, now stood tall and rigid, their leaves rustling with an otherworldly whisper.

The sunlight, filtering through the dense canopy, cast dappled shadows on the forest floor, creating an ethereal atmosphere that sent shivers down Yun Lintian's spine.

Long Xuan, his expression grim and determined, led the way, his footsteps silent and purposeful. Yun Lintian followed close behind, his senses on high alert. He could feel the presence of something ancient and powerful lurking within the depths of the bamboo grove, a primal force that both intrigued and terrified him.

Suddenly, the bamboo stalks parted, revealing a breathtaking sight. A lush, emerald forest stretched before them, its canopy a tapestry of vibrant green hues. Sunlight streamed through the leaves, illuminating the forest floor with a soft, golden glow.

A gentle breeze carried the scent of wildflowers and damp earth, filling the air with a sense of tranquility and peace.

But what truly captivated Yun Lintian's attention were the countless tiny figures flitting among the trees. They were Wood Fairies, ethereal beings of pure life energy, their forms shimmering with an iridescent light. Their laughter, like the tinkling of wind chimes, filled the air, creating a symphony of joy and wonder.

The Wood Fairies, drawn to Yun Lintian's pure and gentle aura, flocked around him, their tiny hands reaching out to touch his face and hair. They giggled and danced, their movements graceful and fluid, like leaves caught in a gentle breeze.

Yun Lintian, his heart filled with warmth and wonder, smiled at the playful spirits.

Long Xuan, however, remained aloof, his expression unchanged. The Wood Fairies, sensing the aura of death that clung to him, kept their distance, their laughter fading as they retreated into the depths of the forest.

Long Xuan, noticing Yun Lintian's fascination with the Wood Fairies, let out a heavy sigh. "They are beautiful, aren't they?" he said, his voice tinged with sadness. "But they are also fragile, easily extinguished by the darkness that plagues this world."

Yun Lintian's smile faded, replaced by a look of concern. "What do you mean?" he asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Long Xuan's eyes hardened. "The Void Creatures," he said, his voice filled with bitterness. "They are drawn to places of pure life energy, like this forest. They feed on it, corrupting and destroying everything in their path."

Yun Lintian looked at him and asked, "Did you know about them all along?"

"I met a few of them. They were remnants that remained behind," Long Xuan said with a sigh. "When everything happened, I wasn't there with my Big Brother. Otherwise, I could have protected my sister-in-law."

Yun Lintian raised his brow. Although he knew that his mother-in-law, Long Xi, was suffering a severe injury, he didn't know her current condition. It was hard to tell whether he could help her.

"So, she was injured by the Void Creatures?" he asked for confirmation.

"Yes," Long Xuan nodded solemnly. "Haven't you seen those Old Fogeys? Her injury is more severe than theirs."

He turned to Yun Lintian and bowed deeply. "Please save her. I'm begging you."

Yun Lintian was startled by Long Xuan's sudden action. He didn't expect such a prideful person like Long Xuan to lower his head and beg others.

Yun Lintian waved his hand and said, "She's my mother-in-law. Of course, I will try my best to save her. You don't have to do this."

Long Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Thank you."

"Let's go," Yun Lintian urged. He wanted to see the legendary Dragon Queen.

Soon, the two of them arrived at a bamboo grove with a small and elegant bamboo house nestled in the center. The house was surrounded by lush green bamboo stalks, swaying gently in the breeze, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. A small stream flowed nearby, its gentle murmur adding to the peaceful ambiance.

As they approached the bamboo house, a figure emerged from the doorway. It was Long Qingxuan, her face radiating a gentle warmth that melted Yun Lintian's heart. Her long, flowing hair cascaded down her back, framing her delicate features. Her eyes, once filled with worry and uncertainty, now sparkled with joy and relief.

"Husband!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mixture of surprise and elation. She rushed towards him, her arms outstretched, and embraced him tightly.

Yun Lintian returned her embrace, his heart swelling with love and gratitude. He had missed her dearly, and the warmth of her presence filled him with a sense of peace and contentment.

"I'm sorry," he said softly.

"I knew you would be fine," Long Qingxuan responded gently.

The two embraced each other for a while before parting.

Long Xuan watched the reunion with a smile, his heart filled with a bittersweet mixture of joy and sadness. He was happy for his brother and sister-in-law, but he couldn't help but feel a pang of loneliness. He had been isolated for so long, cut off from the world and the people he cared about.

Long Qingxuan turned to face him. Her eyes were filled with concern. "Are you alright, Uncle?"

Long Xuan's heart trembled slightly. This was the first time Long Qingxuan had called him uncle. He was delighted and quickly responded, "I'm fine."

Long Qingxuan's eyes softened. "I'm so glad you're back. Mom is worried about you," she said.

Long Xuan smiled and said nothing. He would find a chance to settle the score with those five Dragon Ancestors later.

"We will go in first," Long Qingxuan said and gently guided Yun Lintian towards the bamboo house. Her hand, clasped in his, felt soft and comforting, a reassuring presence in the midst of

uncertainty.

As they stepped into the house, a wave of tranquility washed over them. The interior was sparsely furnished, yet it exuded an air of elegance and refinement. The walls were lined with shelves filled with ancient scrolls and jade ornaments, and the air was fragrant with the scent of sandalwood incense.

In the center of the room, on a simple bamboo mat, sat a woman of ethereal beauty. Her long, silver hair flowed down her back like a waterfall, and her eyes, despite their weariness, shone with an inner light that illuminated the room.

She was Long Xi, the Dragon Queen of Light, and her presence commanded both respect and

reverence.
