He remained silent and did not respond, turning his head to look at his reflection on the stone wall.
In the silence, I saw the girl's hand rise and fall, finally hanging limply at her side.
Even without seeing Lingzhen's face, one can imagine what kind of expression she has right now.
Are your eyebrows furrowed or drooping listlessly? Are your eyes red again, or have those big tears already fallen?
Xuanyuan Zhao's mind was in complete turmoil. His emotions were unconsciously drawn by Lingzhen, and this feeling of being out of control made him feel uncomfortable, along with a trace of anger and panic.
He is Xuanyuan Zhao, a genius of the Xuantian Continent, the glory and hope of the Xuanyuan family. How could he let a woman influence his judgment?
After such a hint, his emotions finally calmed down.
[Favorability +5]
[Favorability-5]
[Favorability +5]
[Hey, my favorability rating dropped by 5 points again! Surprised? Unexpected, right? This is all about the thrill!]
Lin Zhenzhen had already lost her temper. Suddenly, she realized something and squatted down to check.
"Wait a minute, it seems like we're going in circles."
Xuanyuan Zhao also stopped in his tracks, and indeed realized that they had just been here.
"Could it be an illusion? But what level of cultivation could create an illusion that you can't even recognize?"
Xuanyuan Zhao's expression immediately turned grim, and he said in a deep voice, "The puppet's cultivation level is only one-tenth of my original body's."
Oh wow!
What's the point of playing then? You tried to save someone, but ended up getting yourself killed.
Xuanyuan Zhao knew, of course, that doing so was irrational and foolish, but the moment he saw Lin Zhenzhen in danger through the puppet, his body reacted faster than his brain.
"I will take you out of here." Xuan Yuanzhao coldly said this, then sat down to meditate, spreading his divine sense to search for a way out.
Lin Zhenzhen, with a shifty look on her face, pretended to scout ahead and ran to the side, where she poured out the black egg again and examined it carefully.
The original book only briefly mentions the part where the group arrives at the Forest of Mystery, only saying that Xuanyuan Zhao risked his life to capture a certain monster, but he only suffered minor injuries.
Looking back now, the plot took a huge turn for the worse after I picked up this black egg.
She poked the eggshell angrily: "Did you, you little rascal, bring me to this place?"
"Of course not."
Good heavens! It can actually speak human language now, and it even sounds like an old man.
"Ahem, it is I who speak. Please turn around, young lady."
Lin Zhenzhen stiffly turned her head and realized that the scenery around her had completely changed; she was no longer in that dark cave.
She now felt as if she were in a void, surrounded by a vast expanse of white. Even the person in front of her was glowing, obscuring his facial features.
Lin Zhenzhen realized that she had accidentally wandered into some immortal's cave.
The man seemed to know what she was thinking and explained with a smile, "It wasn't a mistake; this is your destiny."
"After the fall of Xingluo Kingdom, I was never able to sense the existence of the Huan family bloodline again. I never expected this."
As the immortal muttered to himself, Lin Zhenzhen suddenly felt that the name Xingluo sounded familiar.
It seems that the crazy old man I rescued on the street on the first day I transmigrated also mentioned this name.
"That's my junior apprentice, and he's been waiting for this day for far too long." Seeing her confusion, the immortal explained the whole story to her.
"After the ancient war, cultivators with sun spiritual roots and moon spiritual roots appeared in the world. Sun spiritual roots are physiques that are inclined towards goodness, while moon spiritual roots are the opposite, physiques that are inclined towards evil immortality."
"Wait a minute." Lin Zhenzhen couldn't help but interrupt him, "I've seen the Sun Spiritual Root in books, but I've never heard of the Moon Spiritual Root before."
The immortal was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "This is because the Moon Spirit Root has gradually weakened over thousands of years of confrontation. A hundred years ago, the last line of the Moon Spirit Root disappeared along with the fall of the Star Luo Kingdom."
"I see." Lin Zhenzhen nodded, staring at the other person, and asked directly, "What does all this have to do with me?"
"Of course there's a connection." The immortal suddenly moved swiftly in front of her, and in an instant, a powerful pressure swept over her.
His tone was no longer as nonchalant as before: "Because you are a descendant of the Huan clan, and the last person in this world with the Moon Spiritual Root attribute."
"Is that so?" Lin Zhenzhen nodded calmly.
The immortal stroked his beard with some surprise and said, "You don't seem surprised at all?"
"Heh, she just has a good mental fortitude." So what if she's the chosen one? What kind of amazing character setting hasn't she seen?
"Haha, that's good. It seems you're prepared to be hunted down by cultivators from the entire Xuan Tian Continent."
"Wait a minute! This isn't ready yet." Lin Zhenzhen had envisioned herself as a peerless hero, not a major villain.
"That's not up to you to say." The old man flicked his finger, and the black egg immediately appeared in his hand.
"This Horned Weasel Emperor Beast is the key to entering my cave. Since it has chosen you, it means you are the person I am looking for."
Lin Zhenzhen lowered her head and clicked her tongue, complaining, "Even when it comes to working, there's a two-way selection process. But here it's turned into a forced sale."
"What did you say?!"
"What I mean is, when did this month's spiritual root appear? Can I hide it?"
"After all, I am the only one in the world with a lunar spiritual root, and I am just a weak woman. If I were to lose it, the lunar spiritual root would truly disappear from this world. Don't you think so?"
The old man pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "That's true. In fact, your Moon Spirit Root has already been placed under a layer of restriction. Just in case, I'll add another layer for you."
As he spoke, he gently flicked his sleeve, and a white light flashed before Lin Zhenzhen's eyes.
She shook her head, feeling as if she had been hit on the head with a stick.
The old man's voice gradually faded into the distance: "I cannot stay any longer. Remember the mission you bear, and also, that boy with you has the scent of a Sun Spirit Root, you must stay away from him."
"Okay, sir, you can go without worry." Lin Zhenzhen saluted the air.
[Host, are you really going to do as he says?]
[Heh, is that even possible? I don't care about their feuds over the Sun and Moon Spiritual Roots. My mission is only one: to win over the male lead.]
Lin Zhenzhen sneered twice. It was impossible for her to keep her distance from Xuan Yuanzhao; she was determined to make this man love her to death.
As the immortal departed, Lin Zhenzhen's consciousness returned to her body.
In my hazy state, I felt something bouncing around on my stomach.
She opened her eyes and saw a small, dark creature with protruding ears and an upturned nose.
Lin Zhenzhen was a little uncertain: "Black Egg?"
The little thing immediately jumped up and down happily in response.
She said disdainfully, "It's really ugly."
The majestic and awe-inspiring King of Beasts: ......
