Qin Luo entered the room, and the first thing he saw was the huge altar in the center of the room.
The crystal core in the center of the altar faintly emitted a green light.
Then a clear, melodious female voice rang out.
"It's a little girl! I never expected to meet someone from my hometown before my soul disappeared. She's also a wood-type ability user. We're so destined to meet!"
Qin Luo sat down cross-legged, resting his chin on his right hand and asked...
"Did my sister also travel from the apocalypse?"
The crystal core shook.
"To be precise, I accidentally fell into a black hole and ended up here!"
Qin Luo didn't understand: "Black hole?"
"Yes! My era was completely overrun by zombies! If I hadn't fallen here, I probably would have been eaten by them too. Little sister, what about you? How did you get here?"
Qin Luo thought about it seriously.
"If we're being precise, I should be older than you. I was sent here by the moon shortly after the apocalypse, and when I woke up, I was a child!"
"Wow! You're so lucky to live so many years longer!"
"Do you live a very short life?"
"Yes! I was just saving some people when the emperor inexplicably took a liking to me. I disagreed, so he wouldn't let me leave! In the end, I was forced to commit many murders, and I died before I even got three years out. I really envy you!"
If the crystal core had an expression at this moment...
She must have been staring intently at Qin Luo with wide eyes, her hands cupping her face.
Qin Luo scratched his chin awkwardly.
"Don't envy me. I'm extremely short, and I was disfigured not long ago! In the apocalypse, my uncle killed my parents, and I suffered terribly just to survive. My childhood sweetheart was also killed trying to save me. My life is much worse than yours!"
As Qin Luo spoke, she took off her veil.
"Holy crap, you're really disfigured? It looks like a giant centipede crawling on your face! So ugly! But it's good that it's healed; you just didn't want to get treatment, right? Your uncle's got some nerve! A ruthless villain, what happened to him then?"
"I killed him!" she replied calmly.
"That simple?"
Qin Luo shrugged: "Yeah, it's that simple!"
"Alright! I have no regrets about being able to see my fellow townsman one last time! My name is Fan Xing, Fan as in Fan Lihua (Pear Blossom Fan) and Xing as in Xingxingdiandeng (Starry Night Lighting Up the Sky). You can call me Xingxing (Starry Night), what about you?"
"My name is Qin Luo, Qin as in Qin Shi Huang, and Luo as in generous and magnanimous. You can call me Luo Luo!"
Hahahaha!
Two girls from different eras meet in an ancient time and laugh with extraordinary joy.
Qin Yunyuan and Qin Yunning, who were outside the door, seemed to be infected by the laughter as well.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
The soldiers not far away were looking at the two of them with strange expressions.
"Could it be that the divine stone is inside telling them jokes?"
The soldier leader slapped him on the head.
"What nonsense are you spouting? The sacred stone is so solemn, how could it be the subject of jokes? All of you, guard it well!"
Fan Xing chatted with Qin Luo for a while, until the crystal core almost lost its light and even his voice began to weaken.
Qin Luo didn't want his fellow villager to disappear like that, and suddenly seemed to remember something.
Looking at Fan Xing excitedly
"Star, I have a bold idea, do you want to give it a try?"
Although Fan Xing was puzzled, he replied without hesitation, "Try it!"
Actually, she just wanted to spend more time playing with Qin Luo...
Qin Luo scrambled up to the altar in three quick steps and grabbed Fan Xing's crystal core.
In an instant, the entire room was filled with green light, illuminating everything around it with vibrant life!
Qin Yun Ning looked at the large tree illuminated by the green light and nudged Qin Yun Yuan.
"Big cousin, look how beautiful it is! It's like a fairyland!"
Qin Yunyuan nodded: "Yes! It's even more beautiful when you look up!"
He quickly looked up and felt the tree canopy swaying.
Green light surrounded the tree canopy, like fairies dressed in green gauze flitting among the trees.
Upon arriving at the scene, the magistrate of Qiugui County saw the soaring green light and immediately led his men to kneel down and kowtow in worship!
The surrounding people were shouting.
"The divine stone has appeared! Our ancestors are protecting us; our suffering is about to end!"
Fan Xing was completely stunned by Qin Luo's actions.
She screamed in terror.
"Luo Luo, stop! You'll die if you keep going like this! I don't want to absorb your energy. I've lived for over a thousand years, I've had enough! I'm not afraid of being reduced to ashes! Listen to me, stop now!"
Qin Luo glanced at her hand, confirming that she had already filled her crystal core with energy.
It finally stopped, and then collapsed onto the altar.
Fan Xing thought she was dead and kept circling around her.
"Luo Luo, how could you be so stupid? I was supposed to disappear anyway, why did you give me your energy? You idiot, waaaaah, we've only known each other for an hour, and you're going to die for me, you moron! Waaaaah~"
Qin Luo raised her hand speechlessly and slapped away the crystal core that was spinning around on her head.
"Ouch! Who the hell attacked me?! Can't you see how heartbroken I am? You sneak attacker, you have no sportsmanship! Waaaaah~"
Qin Luo then sat up and spoke angrily.
"You, Fan Xingxing! I just saved you, and you dare call me a sneak attack dog!"
Fan Xing flew over excitedly upon hearing Qin Luo's voice.
"Ahhh! Luo Luo, you're not dead! Why did you suddenly collapse if you're okay? You scared me to death! And you even slapped me away, hmph!"
Qin Luo rolled her eyes at her, peeled a candy, and put it in her mouth.
"Who said I'm dead? I ate too little this morning and used up too much energy just now, so I'm probably a little hypoglycemic. I was feeling dizzy, which is why I wanted to lie down for a while. But you! You rushed over and flew around me, making my head spin even more. Don't you think I should slap you away?"
Fan Xing rested his head on her shoulder, feeling embarrassed.
"Luo Luo, thank you! It was my fault, don't be angry. If you're willing, I'll swat you away a few times!"
"Alright, alright, I don't want to kill you right after I've transferred your energy, it's not worth it!"
"Luo Luo, you're amazing! How did you manage to give me all your energy when you only had a little low blood sugar?"
Qin Luo Cat tilts her head
"Isn't this easy? Just reach out, grab your crystal core, pour in the energy, and you're done!"
"No, I mean, how come you never run out of energy? Every time I save someone, I have to rest for a long time until my energy is restored before I can save another person. You don't seem to have this problem!"
Qin Luo raised his head triumphantly
"Perhaps I have a special talent!"
Fan Xing imagined it himself
"Could it be that the first batch of mutants in the apocalypse were much more powerful than the Nth batch of mutants? And that our abilities are a result of regression?"
Qin Luo touched his nose
"Hmm...it's not impossible!"
Fan Xing felt he had found the right answer.
"I knew it! That's why we got overrun by zombies. Turns out we were all degenerated trash!"
Seeing that her thoughts were getting increasingly out of line, Qin Luo steered the conversation back on track.
"Star, do you want to come with me?"
