Chapter 377: Golden Cocoon (2/2)
Xue Wei needed to be able to end the war in Chang'an, but to do so; he needed to step into a much higher stage than now. And if he wished to cultivate further, his foundation had to be rock solid.
Xue Wei took out another two essence stones and began cultivating again. He had told Lin Xiao to look after Luoluo, and if something were to happen to her, then he should awaken him immediately.
The day went by with no problems; it was strange how easily they passed the day, no beasts arrived in the clearing, or even around it, they had complete and utter peace as if they were cut off from the rest of the Ascended's Realm.
The night was equally peaceful. It was so quiet that they all found it somewhat unnerving.
As the sun reached above the horizon on the second day's daybreak, the golden silk-like threads on Luoluo's body slowly cracked, and her cocoon started to disintegrate.
Inside the cocoon, the shape of a woman could be seen, this woman was not a young child as she had seemed like before, instead she seemed to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, a few years younger than Xue Wei and the others.
Her body was draped in a golden dress, her hair adorned with golden hair accessories.
The black hair was as fine silk, the skin as white as if it had powder smeared all over. She was an immense beauty.
Her eyelashes fluttered, her brows furrowed, and her eyes opened slowly. The confusion was evident within the beautiful eyes, and she had a sharp headache.
Slowly she rose to her feet, and then everyone saw the beautiful but strange, tattoed bracelet on her arm. It resembled a winged ice snake.
When she had been cocooned, the bracelet had been placed on her arms, but now it seemed as if it was a part of her skin.
Everyone was looking at her in shock; even Xue Wei was stunned. He had expected that her core would be healed, but this advance was simply outstanding. What was the winged ice snake they had encountered?
”Are you okay?” Xue Wei tenderly asked the girl. She was no longer a child, but she would always be his younger sister. There was nothing impure about his thoughts, only happiness about her having grown up and healed.
”I'm fine,” Luoluo said, frowning as she tried to rise from the ground. ”Big Brother Wei, I dreamt about a big snake! He was left here by someone named Lan. The guy named Lan has some relation to the Vermilion Bird, who made this Ascended's Realm.”
Luoluo wanted to explain what she had encountered in the dreams, but Xue Wei stopped her first. ”Check your body first, see if you are feeling uncomfortable, and familiarize yourself with the changes. When you are certain that everything is good, then we can talk about Lan.”
