Chapter 1128: Chapter 213: Empress, Prince (5 Updates)

Standing in the forest, there were five people.

These five people were tall and slender. Most importantly, their hair color was dark green, different from the usual black, truly giving off a sense of mountain spirits.

’Elves!’ Upon clearly seeing the appearances of these five people, the word popped into Mu Qingge’s mind.

The five persons in front, with their fair skin, handsome and defined features, long straight hair, dark green robes, silver battle armor, holding long bows in their hands.

To Mu Qingge, the only difference between the Mountain Charm and elves was that Mountain Charm didn’t have pointy ears.

It had to be said that any of these five people, picked at random and placed in the outside world, would be a rarity among rarities. Their beauty seemed like a droplet of vermillion accidentally spilled by the Creator God during creation.

These Mountain Charm people were all very young, so young you couldn’t guess their real age.

However, Hou communicated to Mu Qingge: ’These seemingly very young Mountain Charm people are actually each hundreds of years old.’

Mu Qingge secretly stowed away her amazement and restrained the awe in her eyes.

"Which one of you is Lord Kong Xuan?" the one standing in the middle of the five spoke.

Lord Kong Xuan?

Mu Qingge’s gaze shifted to Hou, surprised at the politeness of Mountain Charm towards him.

Logically, the Mountain Charms’ standing in the Demon Forest should make them proud. However, these Mountain Charm people were very calm, and after knowing Hou’s intentions, even showed respect.

There was an inexplicable gleam in Hou’s eyes, also puzzled as to why Mountain Charm would treat him with such respect.

Still, he stepped forward and said to the Mountain Charm, "I am Kong Xuan."

The leading Mountain Charm looked him up and down, nodded almost imperceptibly, "Please follow me."

Mu Qingge and the other two exchanged a glance and followed.

The five Mountain Charm people led the way ahead, followed by Mu Qingge and her companions, with Hou walking in the middle, making Mu Qingge and Yin Chen look like his descendants or subordinates.

A faint mist drifted by, and Mu Qingge heard a ’rumble’ in her ear, followed by a tremor from the ground. The trees blocking their way automatically retreated to the sides, revealing a path for them to walk.

A hint of amazement flashed in the eyes of the three, Hou communicated, ’When I came here years ago, there wasn’t such a scene.’

They quietly followed the Mountain Charm people and easily traversed the forest, arriving beneath that sacred mountain. This mountain, viewed from afar, resembled some Beast Clan creature, yet no one could discern what exactly.

Upon approaching, it seemed merely a regular mountain range.

The only difference was the presence of a Defense Barrier outside the mountain. It protected the mountain and isolated it from outside prying.

With Mountain Charm leading the way, Mu Qingge and her companions easily entered the mountain.

Suddenly, their view opened up, and they finally saw the place where the Mountain Charm clan resided for generations, what it truly looked like!

Hou was somewhat indifferent, having visited once many years ago.

But for Mu Qingge and Yin Chen, it was their first visit, and the scene before them directly resonated in their hearts.

Past the lush mountain greenery, what appeared before them was a wall as white as jade. Countless vines dangled from the mountaintop across the wall, very beautiful. In the wall, many holes were chiseled, some resembling doors, others windows. Furthermore, many uniquely shaped treehouses were built on ancient trees near the mountain, and various strange flowers blossomed all around, vibrant with colors.

The place seemed like another world, secluded and unpolluted.

As for the tree and Charm Fruit Hou mentioned, Mu Qingge did not see them. These precious plants were surely not openly displayed outside, likely hidden somewhere considered a forbidden area.

"Please follow me," the leading Mountain Charm turned to Hou and his companions, his respectful tone clearly directed towards Hou.

Even now, Hou couldn’t understand why Mountain Charm held him in such high regard. Even if he had rescued people from the Mountain Charm clan before, it shouldn’t warrant such treatment, especially after so many years.

Confused internally, yet having entered the territory of the Mountain Charm clan, Hou and Mu Qingge exchanged glances, the latter barely nodding.

The three calmly followed the Mountain Charm, entering that white-walled cavern.

Called a cavern, it looked more like a castle, blended so well with the mountain that it seemed neither mountain nor castle.

At this castle, when meeting Mountain Charm guards, they too were stunningly handsome, tall, and slim.

Mu Qingge couldn’t help but sigh internally at the Creator’s unfairness!

The Mountain Charm clan seemed born of essence gathered from heaven and earth, while other races turned into misshapen fruit.

Inside, the cavern castle’s vastness became evident.

The Mountain Charm led them directly to a grand hall. This hall, with a dome, from the top hung many diamond-shaped crystal columns, radiating a gentle glow in harmony with the Luminous Pearl light columns on the ground, illuminating the hall like daylight, creating an incredibly sacred atmosphere.

In the hall, there weren’t many Mountain Charm people.

Aside from a few guarding Mountain Charm soldiers, only two people were present in the hall.

One male, one female, one seated, one standing.

Seated was the woman, standing the man. Both were equally breathtaking in appearance, similarly had special dark green vertical hair, and skin flawless white.

Along the way, Mu Qingge had already appreciated the beauty of the Mountain Charm clan.

Yet seeing this man and woman, she couldn’t resist being awed.

"Brother Kong, you’ve finally arrived!" The seated woman suddenly spoke. Her voice was exceptionally pleasant and filled with delight.

Mu Qingge noticed her eyes subtly showing excitement when looking at Hou.

"You are... Miss Yin Le?" Hou was stunned for a moment, finding traces of familiarity amidst the perfect features.

The woman’s smile grew more evident, and she stood from her seat, revealing her tall, alluring figure. A fitted silver robe wrapped around her, exuding purity.

She descended from the throne, followed closely by the man beside her approaching Hou.

As they drew closer, Mu Qingge noticed a small crown atop her dark green loose hair, and the equally handsome, tall man’s forehead adorned with a jewel-encrusted diadem symbolizing identity.

Without introductions, Mu Qingge sensed their extraordinary status. ’Could Hou’s luck be so good, heroically saving the Empress of the Mountain Charm clan!’ she thought.

Mu Qingge’s inner exclamation had just ended when the man accompanying Yin Le reached out to block her path as she neared Hou, and called out, "Your Majesty."

Yin Le stopped, turned her gaze to him, and addressed him with a hint of inquiry, "Prince?"
