Panic rising in her heart, she asked, "Lanse, are you still there?"
"I am, Female Master," the noble youth replied, snapping back to his senses. He suppressed the bitter sorrow in his heart, his knuckles turning white from his grip, and calmed his tone. "That Holy Tree is doing very well."
Nourished by a continuous stream of Emotional Energy from the Sea Clan, it would blossom and bear fruit in just a few more years. At that time, the Ocean Star Star Gate would open once again, and he could go to her world to guard by her side forever.
Jiang Xinli breathed a sigh of relief. "Then, can you take the Sea Shell and make a trip to the Holy Sanctuary now?"
"Mhm. Female Master, please wait for me a moment." With a pointed look from Lanse, several attendants waiting nearby hurried over and swiftly helped him dress.
