373 Fairest dwelling
When Li FuJin was about to attack, King Galad did not move at all. He just looked at Li FuJin with a flash on his eyes before he said in a calm voice. "She will die if you kill me."?His words made Li FuJin stop immediately. King Galad's face remained indifferent but his calm and enchanting voice sounded a warning. "You can not touch her for now. Unless you want to die after seven days."?"I know you have a lot of questions. We can talk about this later, you can follow me to my kingdom." King Galad added after he saw Li FuJin's confusion. Rage visible on his eyes while watching YuYan in his arms.?"You do not need to worry, she is like a child to me." He said, assurance in his voice. After his words, King Galad turned around to look at his people and nodded to signal them to lower their weapons.?He started to walk towards the forest without waiting for anyone to respond. King Galad is walking towards a stone path, while trees of the forest are generally large and densely packed.?Li FuJin clenched his fist, but Zhiyuan suddenly held his shoulder then he started to comfort him, "She'll be fine. I know him. I assure you, we can trust him."?However, Li FuJin did not respond. His gleaming eyes returned to normal scarlet. He immediately followed King Galad, making sure not to lose YuYan from his sight.?Therefore, everyone silently followed but they were warned not to leave the stone path to prevent getting lost. The forest is full of large trees covering the sky as if it is always night time.?They were mainly huge golden laburnum trees. It was filled with leaves of dim crystals like stars twinkling in the the dark sky with golden woods.?Despite the beauty of its appearance, all parts of the tree are poisonous. But like in medieval land, it enriched the land, protected the elves from any enemies.?As they continued to walk, the forest had a humid climate. The weirdest part is there were places where the forest are in winters, while some are like in summers.?There were also a variety of animals that inhabited like a normal forest. But there are some species that cannot be identified, yet they appear to be harmless.?After walking for what felt like hours, they can see a big river with a strong current of water. While a crystal arc can be seen on the other side.?King Galad stopped when he reached the edge of the river. Big moving vines suddenly appeared from both sides, slowly forming a bridge, connecting to each other.?When the vines are connected, King Galad continued to walk towards the other side of the river. The crystal arc suddenly lighted up and they came into view inside a huge tree.?It is the fairest dwelling of the elves. The floors of the wood is jade, and the roof was crystal, and its pillars with green vines are made of gold, for the bark of the trees is smooth and grey.?There is a long stairs going up, like they cannot see the edge. It was also made of white crystals. Yellow crystals on the walls, enough to light the path.?Nonetheless, none of them said anything. They just followed King Galad until they reached the a huge hall where a chair made of vines is placed on a high dais. It is the king's throne.?King Galad walked towards the chair and seated while YuYan remained in his arms like a baby. But he glanced at Li FuJin who's eyes kept on staring at him immensely.?Ignoring Li FuJin's murderous gaze, King Galad looked down at YuYan in his arms. He moved the hair on YuYan's cheek, revealing the dark scale-like ice that is slowly getting bigger.?"What's happening to her?" Li FuJin coldly asked while he watch King Galad observe the scales, but what made him nervous was that of the King's eyes that suddenly narrowed.
