That evening, the seven people from Xianwu Island sat on the beach talking. Zhu Xichen handed a letter to Zhu Lin, saying, "This is a letter from the spies we hired. Those people are about to make their move. Should we go and stop them?"
"Just send someone to keep an eye on them. We'll make our move once they've broken through the silver mine," Zhu Lin said in a low voice.
That's right. That day, Zhu Xichen and Zhu Chumo followed several burly men from the next private room into a remote mountain village. After walking for two more hours, they arrived at a mountain peak.
The two men investigated and discovered a silver mine. They figured the burly men were planning to mine it secretly, as unauthorized mining of silver would result in execution if the imperial court found out.
However, fortune favors the bold, and with huge profits right in front of them, no one can resist the temptation. Even at the risk of death, many people are willing to take the plunge.
The group from Fairy Mist Island didn't care about the other party's identity or how many people they had under their command; they were determined to seize what they had their eyes on.
At night, Star had a dream in which Candy cried for help, begging Star to save her. Star was terrified and woke up in a cold sweat, unable to fall back asleep.
After a tense analysis, she concluded that Candy should still be alive and had escaped to a small mountain village. Then, bad guys came to that village, oppressed the villagers, and killed innocent people indiscriminately. Candy was killed by the bad guys while trying to save the villagers.
No, she had to hurry and save Candy. She couldn't let Candy lose her life. She couldn't find Candy before, but now that she had a clue, she couldn't just sit idly by.
"Knock knock." After a knock on the door, Zhu Lin asked with a slightly worried tone, "Longlong, are you having trouble sleeping? Are you having a nightmare? Do you want to come out and talk to me?"
Xingxing was just worried about not having anyone to talk to when Zhu Lin appeared. She put on her coat and ran to open the door. She saw the little boy also wearing a coat and standing at the door, and she exclaimed with surprise.
"Brother Phosphorus, can't you sleep either? How did you know I was awake?"
"I got up in the middle of the night and saw a candle lit in your room, so I came to check on you." The dim candlelight illuminated the boy's delicate features. He smiled, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkled with laughter.
"Come in, I have something important to tell you." Xingxing stepped aside to let him into the room.
Zhu Lin took her little hand and led her into the house. They sat down at a small table. There was only a small wooden stool in the house, so Zhu Lin sat on the stool while Xingxing sat on the edge of the bed.
"Brother Phosphorus, your bag is amazing! It feels like there's an endless supply of stuff inside, and you can even pull out magical fruits!" Xingxing was almost stunned as she watched the young boy take out various fruits and exquisite pastries from the brocade bag he carried with him.
"Shh, this is my secret. I can't let anyone else know. I hope Longlong won't tell anyone?" Zhu Lin said this, but her tone was very casual, as if she wasn't worried about outsiders finding out.
Xingxing felt that this bag must be something only immortals could use. If bad people found out about it, they would definitely try to steal it. Although Zhu Lin was very skilled, she couldn't let him get into trouble, so she would definitely keep quiet.
"Don't worry, Brother Phosphorus, I won't tell anyone. If I break my promise, I..."
Before the girl could finish speaking, the boy tapped her lips with his index finger and chuckled, "No need to be so serious. Just remember not to tell anyone, and I'll trust you."
If he didn't believe her, he wouldn't have deliberately exposed himself to her. He wasn't really taking things out of the bag; he was just pretending to put his hand in the bag. In reality, he was taking things out of his spatial storage space.
Xingxing was deeply moved and grasped the boy's slender fingers tightly. "Since you trust me so much, I won't hide anything from you..."
After speaking, she paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Brother Lin, could you please stop calling me Longlong? I don't feel comfortable with it. It always feels like you're calling someone else. Just call me Xingxing like everyone else does."
Zhu Lin stared at the little girl for a long time. In her previous life, she had said the same thing: "I have a name, Linglong. Don't always call me Longlong. You'll easily expose my true identity."
In her past life, she was a little white dragon with two small blue horns on her head. She was particularly mischievous and playful, always going up and down the world, either swimming in the sea or riding the clouds in the sky, living a carefree life.
Unfortunately, in the later war between immortals and demons, both the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen died, leaving only her as a little dragon. Fortunately, Zhu Lin stayed by her side, guarding and protecting her.
At that time, Zhu Lin was only a nine-thousand-year-old snow unicorn. Nine thousand years old sounds very old, but for a snow unicorn, nine thousand years old is like a mortal boy of about ten years old.
He protected her for a hundred years, until the world changed color and the entire cultivation world collapsed. They hadn't even had time to grow up yet. At that time, he was only eleven years old when he transformed into human form, and his dragon sister was only six years old when she transformed into human form.
In the end, he risked all his cultivation to tear through space and find a sliver of hope for the two of them. Unexpectedly, he was reincarnated 100,000 years later, and now there are no more cultivators in the world.
Fortunately, he retained his memories of his past life. He started practicing martial arts diligently from the age of three, quickly becoming stronger, all so that he could find her as soon as possible and protect her again.
"Then I'll call you Xingxing from now on. Your happiness is the most important thing." Yes, she has forgotten her past life, so why force her to remember? Starting over might not be a bad thing.
Star gazed into his dark, deep eyes, as if she had fallen into a deep pool, unable to come back to her senses. For a fleeting moment, she seemed to see endless sorrow in his eyes, a sadness that burst forth from the depths of his soul, deeply shaking Star's heart.
Xingxing instinctively clutched her heart; she felt a sudden, sharp pain there, a feeling of intense sadness and an urge to cry.
