I stood by the spiritual spring, stretching my muscles and bones, feeling my soul gradually solidifying.
Lingling flew over from the direction of the spiritual plant garden, holding a bundle of magical herbs. Her translucent butterfly wings reflected a colorful halo in the sunlight, and there were a few naughty leaves on the ends of her hair.
"Hey, Miss Lingling is being entangled by the spiritual plants again today?" I reached out to help her pick leaves, and my fingertips accidentally touched her hot earlobe.
Lingling took a step back as if she had been burned: "Who asked you to meddle in other people's business! These spiritual plants are having fun on their own, I don't bother to pay attention to them..."
Before he could finish his words, the sachet on his waist suddenly spewed out pink smoke, which instantly exploded above their heads.
"What is this?" I coughed from the fumes.
Lingling frantically patted the smoke away: "It must be that troublemaker! You made it laugh last time, and it's remembered your scent..."
Before I could finish my words, dozens of vines suddenly appeared around me and rushed towards me as if they had come alive.
Lingling hurriedly cast a binding spell, but the vines accurately avoided it.
I quickly grabbed her wrist and dodged to the side, but her face suddenly turned red enough to look like blood.
"You...why are you holding my hand!" Lingling struggled to shake it off, but I held it even tighter.
"Miss Lingling, now's not the time to be shy." I raised an eyebrow and smiled, "These vines are clearly coming for me. How about we use a beauty trap?"
"Beauty trap? Who do you think you are?" Although Lingling was harsh in her words, she still followed me into the vine maze.
I deliberately lowered my voice and said, "I heard you say before that spiritual plants love to hear good things. Why don't you, Miss Lingling, praise me? Maybe they will stop causing trouble."
"Dream on!" Lingling turned away, but stopped in front of a blinking spiritual flower. "But... if you can make this flower smile, I will... I will treat you to spiritual fruit!"
"It's a deal!" I moved closer to the spiritual flower and began to tell jokes non-stop.
Lingling was trying to hold back her laughter so hard that her shoulders were shaking. Until I said the line "There was a fairy who wanted to fly to the sky, but was struck by lightning and turned into charcoal", Linghua suddenly laughed so hard that tears came out, and the petals fell to the ground.
"You're amazing..." Lingling blushed and handed over a golden spiritual fruit. "Here, this is for you. Eating it will strengthen your soul and body. Maybe you can even leave the space for a short time!"
Just as I was about to take it, the spiritual fruit suddenly flew away.
We followed the trail of the spiritual fruit, only to find it being held in the mouth of a furry spiritual beast.
"Who is this? Is he also raised by Li'er?" I asked curiously.
"The spirit bracelet space is an ancient divine object. Nothing inside is strange, but this is the first time I've seen it!" Lingling said thoughtfully.
"Oh..." I looked at the little beast in front of me and fell into deep thought.
"Give us back the spiritual fruit!" Lingling put her hands on her hips and stomped her feet.
The spirit beast tilted its head to look at her, then suddenly threw the spirit fruit towards me.
I subconsciously took it, only to find a line of small words appearing on the surface of the spiritual fruit: "Help me find the master's marriage stone."
"Marriage Stone?" Lingling looked at the spiritual fruit in my palm. "Could it be the legendary stone that can foresee marriage?"
I suddenly remembered something: "Before in the Soul Nurturing Pool, I seemed to hear Lingquan say something similar..."
"Lingquan would never speak so casually!" Lingling retorted, but she had already pulled me towards Lingquan.
Then, we found a shimmering stone at the bottom of the spiritual spring, with two lines of faint writing engraved on it. Lingling suddenly exclaimed, "This is the writing of the ancient gods!"
"What's written on it?" I leaned over to take a look.
Lingling's face turned red instantly: "Nothing...nothing!" Then she was about to hide the stone.
I quickly grabbed the stone and said, "The God of War and the Butterfly Fairy, their love is sealed in the Three Lives Stone..." Before I finished speaking, the stone suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, enveloping us.
In the light, I saw Lingling's past and present lives: she was originally a butterfly fairy in the divine world. Because she was too playful, she accidentally entered the Temple of War and was trapped by me in a formation for three days and three nights.
The scenes of our battle of wits and courage flashed through my mind one by one, finally freezing at the moment when she said "hate" with a red face.
"So... we've known each other for a long time." Lingling lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.
"So it's you, then why are you in the spirit bracelet space!" I was extremely surprised.
"It's Hades! During the Three Realms War, the Protoss suffered heavy losses, and the Goddess also perished. When I was injured and dying, Hades arrived. He saved me and brought me back to the Underworld. I became the Nine Netherworld Butterfly and gave me the ability to travel through time and space, just to find the Goddess's reincarnation!" Lingling said.
"I see! Then how did you appear in the spirit bracelet space?"
"This spiritual bracelet is the goddess's storage space. In one of her lives, the goddess was reincarnated as the spirit of the Book of Life and Death. Hades knew that the goddess still had a calamity in her life, so he made me the spirit of the spiritual bracelet space and signed a soul contract with the goddess to share life and death. As long as her soul is immortal, I will not die!" Lingling explained.
"Pluto could actually plan so much for Li'er!" I couldn't help but admire that man.
"Pluto really loves his master!" Lingling nodded.
"I love you too!" I blurted out, and Lingling was stunned for a moment.
“You…what did you say?!”
I gently held her hand and said, "Lingling, no matter in this life or the past, I have chosen you."
At this moment, the space inside the bracelet suddenly vibrated violently. Lingling's face changed drastically: "Oh no! Master is in danger!"
We followed the guidance of the spirit bracelet and came to the space-time rift, only to see Mu Li being sucked into a black vortex.
