Chapter 839: Watching the Sun and Moon Atop the Rain Listening Tower
Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou had stayed behind at Goddess City for ten days or so to assist Wen Anran in rescuing and treating the innocent citizens who were harmed by the great battle. It was only today that they finally bade her goodbye and left the city.
Although their journey was delayed by ten whole days, since they started early, it did not impact their plan whatsoever. Even now, the only reason they were passing through the Swamp of Eternal Rain was because Ye Qing wished to witness its beauty with his own eyes.
Yes, the Swamp of Eternal Rain was, contrary to what most people would believe, quite the beautiful place. Unlike most parts of Yan where only snowy mountains, sheer cliffs, and barren deserts could be found, the Swamp of Eternal Rain sported a light drizzle, bluish green grass, and rippling waters. It possessed an idyllic appeal that was similar to Jiangnan.
“To experience the beauty of the Marsh of Eternal Rain, we should travel twenty five kilometers straight to the center of the land where a three-hundred-meter tall tower stands. They call it the Rain Listening Tower.”
Feng Qingyou stepped out of the horse carriage and gazed at the rainy marsh in front of them. “Once you’ve reached the top, you’ll be able to view the entire marsh from every angle. If the time and weather are just right, you’ll even be able to enjoy a gorgeous sunset where the sun and moon trade places with each other amidst the fine drizzle. That is the most beautiful scenery in the Marsh of Eternal Rain.”
“I can’t wait,” Ye Qing replied with shiny, anticipatory eyes. “There are still over four hours before evening. It’s a tight window, but I think we can get there right on time.”
“In that case, let us not dilly-dally any longer.”
Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou refrained from riding their horse carriage after entering the Marsh of the Eternal Rain. Instead, they held up a pair of oil-paper umbrellas and walked between the wet grass and fine raindrops.
The air was clean, and the rain was soothing. It wiped away all the fatigue Ye Qing had accumulated for the past ten days.
