When Ji Tianxing saw the small line of words on the paper, he immediately frowned and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's Ke Ke! She actually came back to Central State! "
Ever since he went to the Fey Imperial Court to borrow the Ice Dragon Hammer and unravel Ji Ke's identity, Ji Ke had been staying in the Fey Imperial Court.
Back then, Kun Wu also told him that Ji Ke would have to stay in the Imperial Court for at least half a year to resolve her crisis and slowly refine the mysterious power in her soul.
Now that half a year's time was almost up, Ji Ke should be back soon.
"That's great! Ke Ke came back just in time for my and Yao Yao's wedding … "
Ji Tianxing was very happy. After receiving Ji Ke's letter, he turned and flew towards the entrance of the Monarch Residence.
The Returning Swallow Forest mentioned in the letter was thirty li west of Central State City. It was a place with a lot of meaning.
It was said that a thousand years ago, when the Demon Race army was rampaging and conquering the world, the Western Wilderness Fey were the main battlefield.
At that time, the Western Wilderness Fey were ravaged by the flames of war. Countless Fey tribes and towns were trampled into ruins by the Demon Race army.
The brave warriors of Central State City, in order to protect their homes and resist the invasion of the Demon Race army, all rushed to the Western Wilderness to participate in the battle.
Not only the Fey Race warriors, but many righteous warriors and soldiers of the Human Race also rushed to the Western Wilderness to help the Fey Race defend against the Demon Race's invasion.
The flames of war continued, causing the world to be in chaos. The people had no way to make a living and countless people died.
The brave warriors fought with their lives on the battlefield of the Western Wilderness, bathed in blood, but they could not contact their families in Central State. Even sending a letter to tell them that they were safe was an extravagant hope.
Their families spent their days in worry. They would often look at the maple forest outside the western city gate, waiting for their loved ones to return in triumph.
Over time, more and more families gathered in the maple forest, looking at the Western Wilderness and praying for their loved ones.
Although the Demon Race army retreated to the Northern Desert after the chaos of the Demon Race was quelled.
A portion of the brave warriors did indeed return in triumph and reunited with their loved ones in the maple forest.
But most of the brave warriors died on the battlefield of the Western Wilderness, their heroic souls and loyal bones buried in other places.
Thus, the ancient maple forest was named the Returning Swallow Forest.
There was a beautiful meaning behind it. The families of the warriors hoped that their loved ones could return safely, like swallows returning to the forest, returning to their hometown smoothly.
In the one or two hundred years after the chaos of the Demon Race ended, many people of Central State still went to Yan Returning Forest to pay their respects to the dead.
However, in the past few hundred years, very few people had gone to Swallow Returning Forest.
…
When Ji Tianxing arrived at Guiyan Forest, the sun was about to set.
The dim sunlight shone on the maple forest, illuminating the red leaves on the trees. The ground also seemed to be covered with a layer of red carpet.
Some people said that the red leaves on the trees and the dark red ground were dyed with the blood of the brave warriors of the past. They warned the future generations not to forget the chaos of the demon race and to be vigilant in times of peace.
Ji Tianxing saw the red leaves and maple trees everywhere, but he didn't think too much about it.
He quickly shuttled through the forest, his sharp eyes searching for Ji Ke's figure. His heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.
After a hundred breaths of time, when he entered the depths of Guiyan Forest, he saw a graceful figure under a two-meter-thick maple tree.
It was a young girl with a graceful figure and a noble temperament.
She wore a fiery-red dress, her waist-length black hair draped behind her head. There was also a pair of small, fluffy golden ears on her temples. She was very cute.
She was standing under the huge maple tree, quietly looking ahead. Red leaves fell from the tree and landed on her body, but she didn't feel anything.
It was obvious that she was in a daze and had a lot on her mind.
Although Ji Tianxing could only see her back, he could recognize at a glance that it was Ji Ke, whom he hadn't seen in a long time!
"Ke Ke!"
Ji Tianxing quickly walked to the red maple tree and stopped behind Ji Ke. He called out to her with a face full of smiles.
Ji Ke was immediately jolted awake. She slowly turned around and looked at Ji Tianxing.
Just a moment ago, she had a lot on her mind and her eyes were a little moist. Now, her expression was normal and she even smiled happily.
"Big Brother Tianxing, you're finally here!"
Ji Ke responded in a crisp voice. She quickly took two steps forward and stood face to face with Ji Tianxing.
Her clear eyes shone with joy. She looked at Ji Tianxing affectionately and couldn't move her eyes away.
Ji Tianxing didn't notice anything strange. He reached out and pinched her cute little golden ears. He smiled and joked, "Ke Ke, I haven't seen you for a few months. How did you grow taller again?
Eh, not only have you become prettier, you've also become stronger … You've broken through to the Heavenly Origin Stage? "
Ji Ke smiled and nodded. "Yes, I've been cultivating in seclusion for the past few months. I just want to reach the Heavenly Origin Stage as soon as possible so that I can return to Zhongzhou and help Big Brother Tianxing …"
Ji Tianxing smiled and waved his hand. "Ke Ke, I'm not in any danger now and I don't have any strong enemies. I don't need your help.
Besides, even if there's any danger, I'll do my best to deal with it. How can I let you take the risk with me?
Even if I'm willing, Kun Wu and your parents won't! "
He was joking with Ji Ke, just like he used to do in the past to make her happy.
However, Ji Ke's smile was a little forced. She only nodded and didn't say anything.
Disappointment flashed across her eyes and she felt even more bitter. She thought to herself, "Even if I cultivate desperately and reach the Heavenly Origin Stage, I still won't be able to help Big Brother Tianxing. I'll still be a burden …"
At this moment, Ji Tianxing smiled and said, "Ke Ke, you've come back at the right time. On the ninth of next month, Big Senior Sister and I will be getting married.
When the time comes, you must come to our wedding! We haven't seen you for a long time and we all miss you … "
As Ji Tianxing spoke, he noticed that Ji Ke's expression was a little strange.
Ji Ke gazed at him with deep affection. Although there was a smile on her beautiful face, her clear eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
He hurriedly held Ji Ke's shoulders and asked with concern, "Ke Ke, why are you crying?"
Ji Ke hurriedly turned her head to look elsewhere, not wanting him to see her reddened eyes. She pretended to be strong and said, "No … I'm not crying. I'm happy!
Big Brother Tianxing, I'm happy for you … and Big Senior Sister! "
Ji Tianxing was instantly amused by her. He reached out to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes and gently stroked her head with his palm. He smiled and said, "Silly girl, why are you still so silly?
Why are you crying when you're happy for us? "
Ji Ke felt his concern and care. Feeling his gentle palm, it was as if they had returned to the past …
She couldn't hold back the bitterness in her heart. She couldn't hold back her pretense of being strong and turned around to throw herself into Ji Tianxing's arms.
She hugged Ji Tianxing's neck tightly with her arms. Crystal clear tears flowed out of her eyes as she cried bitterly.
"Big Brother Tianxing! I … I … actually … the person I like … is you!
Can't you tell at all? Can't you feel it?
You're going to marry Big Senior Sister. Then … then what should I do?
