Gu Shengyin responded with an "Alright".
However, before she awaited Feng Lin’s courtship, she received the decree from the Pantheon.
The grand heavenly tribulation she experienced startled not only the entire Lanling Domain but also shook the Pantheon.
In the Pantheon, they investigated the matter, but ultimately could not find the cause of the abnormal tribulation thunder. However, Gu Shengyin, the ghost cultivator who triggered the anomaly, caught their attention.
Upon investigating her deeds over the years and learning about her realm, the decree from the Pantheon was naturally issued.
Watching the envoy from the Pantheon ride the clouds away, Gu Shengyin gently caressed the dharma edict in her hand, her heart unusually calm.
Whether she received the title or not, it made no difference to the Ghost King of Lanling in her daily life.
She continued to be the ruler overseeing the Lanling Domain, just transitioning from tacit acknowledgnt to official recognition.
Perhaps it could be said that the current Ghost King of Lanling, or rather, the True Lord Lanling, now has backing of sorts.
At least, if anyone in the future wishes to lay claim to the Lanling Domain, they would have to consider whether this action might incur the wrath of the Pantheon.
Three months after the decree from the Pantheon ca, Gu Shengyin heard Ah Jin’s exclamation one afternoon during a nap.
She walked out of the hall and looked up to witness a breathtaking scene.
The sky above the gloomy and dark Lanling Domain was lit up by countless fiery red spots:
Several fiery red Phoenixes danced in the high sky with their long, magnificent tail feathers, performing a silent, srizing dance.
The one in the center was most familiar to Gu Shengyin.
It was Feng Lin.
Upon seeing her figure, Feng Lin’s eyes shone brightly, and he lifted his neck high, the clear cry of a Phoenix echoing in the ears of all ghosts and goblins.
Even though no one understood what this cry ant, they could feel the ssage within it.
This Phoenix was courting.
It is said that one of the most common courtship rituals of the Phoenix is the Phoenix Dance.
A male Phoenix’s most splendid dance of his life is surely perford for his mate.
Everyone was shocked by this sight.
They were captivated by this dance and long cry, their senses enchanted.
How could the world possess such a beautiful dance? Such a lodious sound?
And a woman courted in such a manner—how imnsely fortunate she must be?
Gu Shengyin stood silently, watching as the Phoenix descended from mid-air to her side.
The crowd watched as the magnificent Phoenix circled their Lord Lanling three tis before transforming into a familiar human figure.
Feng Lin gently held her hand, and a fiery red jade token appeared in his palm.
"This is my life token; Lanling, would you be willing to beco its guardian?"
The life token allows the holder to know of his whereabouts and condition at any ti.
Giving soone one’s life token is akin to laying oneself bare before that person.
Gu Shengyin looked at his palm; the exquisite jade token glowed softly, quietly resting there.
She extended her hand, but instead of taking the jade token, she closed his palm over it.
Under Feng Lin’s puzzled gaze, she brought out the feather engraved with Feng Lin’s na.
"I already have this, don’t I?" she said with a smile.
Feng Lin’s heart, which had been suspended due to her recent actions, finally eased.
He then conveyed the purpose of his visit today:
"The Phoenix Clan only ever has one mate in a lifeti, enduring together through life and death. Lanling, would you be willing to beco my mate?"
