In the capital, Nangong Luoyu was very sad about Xiao Ning's departure, and she was clamoring like a child to find him. This made Xiyue and Yunyao very anxious, and even Xiang Yuxin couldn't do anything about her. The crying in the bedroom was one after another, as if it would never stop.
Chu Qian in the room covered her ears tightly, pretending not to hear the noise, but the sound kept drilling into her ears like a devil's sound, making it impossible for her to escape.
"It's so annoying!" Chu Qian yelled angrily, unable to bear it any longer. So, she quickly walked into Nangong Luoyu's room. When Xiyue and the other three saw Chu Qian coming in, they showed worried looks on their faces, fearing that she would lose her temper with Nangong Luoyu. Xiyue timidly explained: "Madam, I'm sorry, we really..." Before she finished speaking, she lowered her head and dared not look at Chu Qian.
Chu Qian looked at Nangong Luoyu, who was crying and making a fuss, clenched her fists, and felt helpless. Finally, she sighed deeply and said softly, "You all should get out of the way first, let me try." After that, she walked to Nangong Luoyu, gently put her hand on her back, and comforted her gently.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Luoyu, who had been crying non-stop, actually calmed down and stopped making noise. After a while, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep on Chu Qian's legs, and everyone was happy.
Chu Qian stared at Nangong Luoyu quietly while she was sleeping. The discontent on her face miraculously disappeared without a trace at this moment. She gently stroked Nangong Luoyu's back, and an indescribable sense of familiarity came over her. This feeling was just like when she comforted Xiao Ning, which made her feel extremely relieved. She whispered to herself: "Maybe this is Ning'er's soul..."
Then, Chu Qian carefully laid Nangong Luoyu flat on the bed, but her hand was still tightly held by her. Helplessly, she could only say to Xiyue, Xiang Yuxin and Yunyao: "Okay, you guys go down and rest first, let me accompany her tonight, don't worry."
Xiang Yuxin couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw Nangong Luoyu sleeping so peacefully. She smiled and replied, "Well, I'll trouble Madam Xiao. We'll take our leave first."
As soon as the voice fell, the three of them gently closed the door and left the room. Chu Qian sat beside Nangong Luoyu for a while, staring at her sleeping face, and the tiredness in her heart gradually surged. Not long after, she slowly closed her eyes and fell into a dream.
After a long time, Nangong Luoyu suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, then he stood up and looked at Chu Qian who was sleeping beside him, then gently stroked her face with his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a playful smile.
"Qian'er, I'm sorry, Ning'er, I will never let you go. I'm sorry to have to bear with you for a while."
After she finished speaking, her eyes became sharp, revealing a kind of determination and firmness. Then, she touched Chu Qian's chest, and a strong suction force gathered from her hands. In an instant, a ball of dazzling flame appeared from Chu Qian's chest, and then was tightly held in the palm of Nangong Luoyu's hand. With her strength, the flame gradually extinguished and finally disappeared.
After doing all this, Nangong Luoyu returned to her original state. She gently closed her eyes, and everything around her seemed to have returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. At this time, Chu Qian was still lying there quietly, continuing to enjoy her sweet dream, still murmuring.
"Ning'er, my Ning'er..."
On the other hand, Xiao Ning was anxious after obtaining the Yangxin Grass. He couldn't wait to return to Da Chu and use this precious herb on Nangong Luoyu. Therefore, he didn't care about staying in Shenxiao Sect for too long. He said goodbye to them in a hurry and set off on his way home. Although he knew that Xiyue and others might try their best to appease Nangong Luoyu, he knew that it would be useless, so he had to return as soon as possible.
In front of the Shenxiao Sect's mountain gate, Qin Ruxue hugged Xiao Ning tightly, rubbing her face against Xiao Ning's, and said pitifully.
"Ning'er, be careful on the road. I'll find you later."
Xiao Ning also hugged her tightly.
"Well, Uncle Master, don't worry."
After saying that, he bowed to Lei Wanshan, then led the other four people onto the spaceship and slowly left.
In the room inside the spaceship, Xiao Ning called out the system softly.
"Master, may I ask for your help?"
"Tongzi, I want to ask, are there other time travelers like me in this world?"
"Hmm? Why would the master ask such a question?"
Then, Xiao Ning told the story about Huang Yaoshi in detail.
"I have never published this Journey to the West, and the material of the book obviously does not belong to this world. Therefore, I speculate that there may be time travelers like me in this world."
"Master, your guess is correct. Indeed, there are other time travelers in this world. However, there is one thing I must correct. In fact, you are not a time traveler in the true sense, but a reborn person with memories of your past life. Strictly speaking, you can be regarded as a reincarnation, but you have retained the memories of your previous life during the reincarnation process."
After Xiao Ning heard the system's explanation, the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated. He understood that his life experience was indeed born by Chu Qian, and there was no doubt about it. Therefore, he himself did not belong to the category of a time traveler.
"Are there a lot of these time travelers? Do they also have a system like yours?" Xiao Ning asked curiously, with a gleam of exploration in his eyes.
The system was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Master, I cannot answer this question. These involve some confidential information. At present, I can only tell you that you should focus on your own life and do not over-speculate on these things. It will not benefit you."
When Xiao Ning heard this, he instantly felt the special meaning in the system's words. His face became gloomy, and his tone was a little cold: "Is this a warning?"
The system's voice remained calm, but it seemed to contain a firmness: "It can be regarded as a reminder, but please rest assured, Master, we have no ill intentions. We just hope that you can cherish this beautiful life and not be troubled by unnecessary speculation and worries."
Xiao Ning frowned slightly, and he fell into deep thought. He understood the system's intentions, and perhaps some things really shouldn't be pursued too much. However, the curiosity in his heart burned like a flame, and it was difficult to extinguish.
