Chapter 1000: Reunion II
Xunlan Empire.
Beneath a pale azure sky stood a pure-white ring-shaped structure, solemn and elegant like a cathedral.
Crystal spires rose high from the top of the building, piercing toward the heavens.
All around it sprawled countless unknown gray thorny vines, twisting and bulging like giant serpents from ancient times, each dozens of meters thick.
Hahahahaha!!!
Within the central ring-shaped building, inside the white palace, a burly White-Haired Old Man threw back his head in laughter, his expression bright and unrestrained.
Lu Sheng and Ban Sai sat nearby, accompanied by several young, beautiful Royal Concubines and noblewomen who laughed along with them.
On a slightly lower platform sat several princes and Princesses of the Xunlan Empire. They sat upright in attendance, their faces clearly grave and tense.
Quite a few high nobles sat with them as well, chatting and laughing with calm expressions.
Music and dancing unfolded slowly.
A faint smile rested on Lu Sheng's face as he listened to Xunlan Emperor Di Lansi introduce the local customs and culture.
"My Xunlan has stood for over ten thousand years. Come to think of it, such national ceremonies have never been frequent, especially one like today, when two great joys have arrived at once. It is truly one of a kind, unprecedented and unmatched!" Di Lansi said with a smile.
"President Lu, Vice President Ban Sai, your arrival has brought glory to Xunlan. As it happens, today is also the day we sign a peace treaty with the Gulan Empire. I would ask the two of you to bear witness as well."
"Of course, no problem," Lu Sheng said with a nod.
Though the banquet was rather dull, Di Lansi was undeniably an emperor with considerable personal charm. Casual conversation with him was always full of wit
