Startled deer suddenly appear by the stream
"Brother Qiexing!"
Lu Yixin carried a paper kite and skipped into the courtyard from outside.
At that time, Shen Qiexing was sitting under the tree, writing something with a wolf-hair brush. He had set up a table there early on so that he could write and draw to pass the time.
"Brother Qiexing, will you come with me to fly a kite?" She knelt down next to Shen Qiexing, hugged his arm and shook it. "Look how nice the sun is today, writing is so boring."
June is almost here, but the wind in Mitianze is still light and cool. Shen Qiexing puts down his brush and ink, picks up the unfinished "Shanglin Fu" and looks at it. He smiles with satisfaction and presses down one corner with a paperweight.
"Look, this is what Zhaozhao made for me, a little koi fish, isn't it cute!"
Lu Yixin unfolded the kite on the table like a treasure, revealing a smooth and delicate forearm beneath her rolled-up sleeves, entwined with slender flower vines, its whiteness dazzling against the orange-red kite.
“On my way back, I saw a large grassy slope in Frostmoon Valley,” she said, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Shen Qiexing, coaxing him gently, “You haven’t been there yet, have you?”
Today the deer is a pale yellow color.
“Alright then,” Shen Qiexing brushed the fallen petals off his clothes, picked up the kite, and said, “I’ll play with you for an hour. I need to come back and make dinner.”
"Yay!" Lu Yixin threw the kite and cheered.
Ancient and modern times stretch like a white ribbon in flight, a single line breaking the green of the mountains.
A waterfall cascades down above Frost Moon Valley, its fine waters condensing into mist like shattered jade and broken snow. After the rain, a rainbow arches over the green mountains on both banks, and a jade stream flows endlessly at the bottom of the valley, with flowers and trees covering the slopes.
Koi carp swim in the clear sky, while the clouds are like washed pebbles laid out on the bottom of the water.
Lu Yixin was covered in sweat from running. After handing the kite to Shen Qiexing, she went to the stream, buried her head in it, gurgled out a few bubbles, suddenly raised her head, ruffled her bangs, and shouted, "Awesome!"
She slowly walked back and sat down next to Shen Qiexing, occasionally pulling the string. Suddenly, she said excitedly, "Brother Qiexing, I told Grandpa that after the Sen tribe restores peace, I want to go outside Mitianze to take a look."
"I've never been out before."
"It's fine." Shen Qiexing stared straight ahead at the koi kite and said softly.
“Hey,” she nudged him with her elbow, “then you’ll be my guide.”
That's a beautiful dream.
The Forest Clan will never be able to restore peace. Before that happens, he will exterminate the entire Forest Clan, sparing not a single person.
Including her.
But why did his heart suddenly ache for no apparent reason?
His heart felt as if it were being crushed by a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.
Regardless of whether he answered her or not, the girl continued to chatter on and on, her eyebrows dancing with excitement. When she got to a part she was happy about, she would pat him twice and laugh so hard she almost fell over.
This is really... so strange.

On the night of the 29th.
"Madam, please rest assured."
Yue Fuge held her daughter in her arms and smiled at Qian Daiyaohua, "What do you think that Suifeng is? He actually wants to enter the Scroll Pavilion."
The scroll pavilion is never open to the public. It contains the highest secrets of the Forest Clan, and that person, Sui Feng, doesn't seem to be a member of the Forest Clan.
Chiyo Yaoka took her daughter from his arms and nodded, saying, "It's good that you know what's going on."
"Lord Suifeng should be arriving soon. I'll take Xinxin and head back first."
She had just lifted the curtain when she bumped into Shen Qiexing and gave him a friendly smile.
"It's dark outside, Madam Yue, please be careful while carrying the child," Shen Qiexing said with a smile, glancing at Yue Lanxin again.
Heart?
"Thank you for your guidance." Chiyo Yaohua unconsciously tightened her arms around her daughter and quickly left.
"Your Excellency Suifeng, the council hall is heavily guarded now. How can the two of us enter without making a sound?" Yue Fuge asked.
“Don’t worry about that,” Shen Qiexing said calmly, fiddling with his fingers. “I have my own way.”
one
Under the crescent moon, two figures, one in blue and one in black, swiftly darted through the dense forest. The rustling of branches and leaves created a soft sound, which quickly faded into silence.
That's too fast!
Yue Fuge observed the people around him without making a sound. He saw a series of afterimages flash by. He used about seven or eight tenths of his strength to increase his flying speed. He vaguely felt that he was running out of energy, but his face remained completely calm.
He was the wolf king who swiftly roamed the ground; how could he know that Shen Qiexing was the overlord of the sky and the sea?
The roof of the Canggu Temple came into view, and Shen Qiexing's two dragon horns appeared on his head. He pursed his lips and increased his speed again.
"Wait for me here. Come over when I give you a signal." He left these words for Yue Fuge and rushed towards the Canggu Temple alone.
In an instant, Yue Fuge could only see a faint blue light. He found a tree branch with a good view and squatted down to observe the movements over there.
Was that deer antlers on his head just now?
No, it's different from ordinary deer antlers. Yue Fuge lowered his eyes thoughtfully, as if he had seen such antlers somewhere before.
Where is it...?
—
The deity descended onto the windowsill, silently recited the incantation, and formed a mudra with his hands.
The next moment, a shadow clone that looked exactly like him appeared beside him, but its eyes were dim and lifeless.
Shen Qiexing's face turned pale, but he still channeled some of his magic power into the shadow clone's body and whispered a few words in its ear. The shadow clone seemed to come alive and jumped down from the windowsill, heading towards the council hall.
After doing all this, Shen Qiexing covered his chest, sat cross-legged, and silently regulated his breathing.
That's still too much of a stretch.
He hasn't grown enough yet; with his current strength, he's completely unable to contend with the Forest King.
About two minutes later, a series of hurried footsteps came from the council hall, gradually approaching Shen Qiexing's position and passing by him.
When everything was quiet, he gathered a ball of fluorescent blue light in his hand and threw it into the air, like a dazzling shooting star streaking across the night sky, eventually falling to an unknown location.
A moment later, Yue Fuge appeared beside Shen Qiexing, looking at him with a complex expression for a good ten seconds before turning her head and asking, "Is it resolved?"
"It's solved."
Shen Qiexing, who was about to jump off the windowsill, suddenly stopped, looked back at Yue Fuge, and said with a mocking smile, "Now you know who I am?"
Yue Fuge smiled and said, "So what if I know, so what if I don't? As long as we're still allies, that's enough."
Unlike the violent dismantling by Shen Qiexing, the ancient lily of the valley between Yue Fuge's brows flickered for a moment, and the doors of the council hall opened automatically.
The seal on the scroll was reinforced by the Forest King. Yue Fuge clicked her tongue and said in a low voice, "Those guards won't be coming back, will they? This seal is a bit tricky and may take some time."
"As long as it can be opened before dawn, that's fine."
He had his shadow clone impersonate the Little Deer Fairy, and right now it's probably leading that bunch of idiot guards on a roundabout tour.
Yue Fuge moved quickly; the so-called "taking some time" was only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. The rolling door clicked open a crack.
An ancient aura rushed out from the crack in the door. It was pitch black inside. Yue Fuge nodded to Shen Qiexing with her chin: "I'll keep watch outside. You try to finish your investigation as quickly as possible. Who knows if someone will suddenly come over?"
Shen Qiexing raised his hand, but still lacked the courage to push open the door.
After learning the truth, will he still be able to face the Little Deer Fairy?
Strangely enough, this was the first thing that came to his mind.
He took a deep breath. Let's finish this quickly.
A fresh woody scent filled the room. Shen Qiexing held a ball of blue light in his palm and surveyed his surroundings.
This place is like a library, with eight wooden shelves arranged in neat rows, ten rows and twelve columns in total. Each shelf has eight layers, and each layer is filled with scrolls tied with pale yellow ribbons.
He randomly picked up a scroll, and fortunately, the ribbon recorded the date each scroll was included. He read through several scrolls and, after figuring out the pattern, headed straight for the seventh row.
The file he was looking for was easy to spot; it was tied with a red ribbon, a thin sheet of paper, placed separately on the first shelf.
But he couldn't untie the ribbon no matter what he did. Only then did Shen Qiexing realize that his hands were shaking violently. He cursed under his breath, grabbed his wrists, and forced them to calm down.
Be afraid, God will go.
That was the truth he had been seeking, and he couldn't back down now.

After discussing with Phoenix Maiden and Soul Master for more than seven days, we finally decided to launch a military campaign against the Dragon Clan on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month this year.
The first battle lasted ten days. During this time, the Phoenix Clan lost more than 10,000 lives, and the Spirit Clan lost more than 10,000 lives. Our army only managed to break through the northern part of the Tianpin Sea. I couldn't bear it and tried to dissuade them, but to no avail.
On the 27th of the same month, the Soul Master personally came to Mitianze and asked me for dozens of Sun-Shining Golden Pills. Although I was unwilling, I took pity on his good intentions and gave them to him.
Until the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month of the following year, although I did not see the two again, I knew perfectly well what they had done.
Three days later, the two races declared war on the Dragon Clan again. This battle lasted eight days, and the two races lost less than a thousand men. They broke through the Tianpin South Sea and West Sea. The Dragon Clan suffered heavy losses, but still resisted stubbornly and refused to surrender.
At this point, the Xuanhai Dragon God had not appeared for a long time.
On the first day of the second month of the same year, the final battle was fought, and our army won a complete victory, thus annihilating the Dragon Clan. However, the Phoenix and Spirit Clans also paid a heavy price. I observed that the Phoenix Maiden and the Soul Master did not show any joy on their faces.
The next day, the Phoenix Maiden came to find me, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating. When I asked her why, she said there was nothing else.
I made a vow of spiritual power with the Phoenix Maiden and the Soul Lord, so this is all I can say. I don't know if this is right or wrong, but things have come to this, so let it be.
These few words, though brief, encapsulate the downfall of an entire clan. The past is gone forever, and no one will ever suffer its devastation again!
—
With a soft thud, a tear fell onto the rice paper, blurring the ink.
Shen Qiexing remained silent, reading the thin file over and over again. With a tremor in his hands, he tore a three-inch-long slit in the file.
Eldar...
It turns out that the dragon race is actually at odds with the entire world.
What did they do wrong to deserve such a devastating tragedy as the extermination of their entire clan?
Why...?
Shen Qiexing could no longer hold on. He leaned against the wall, lowered his head slightly, and let the tears flow freely.
He covered his face with his hands and let out a desperate roar like a wild beast on its deathbed.
Father is superior, mother is superior...
He misses them so much.
But for Shen Qiexing, he didn't have much time to grieve.
He bit his hand until it bled profusely and the blood was deep enough to see the bone, before he mustered his courage again, picked up the file, and focused on reading it once more.
Words of power?
Has the Forest King and the Phoenix Maiden made a vow?
He stood there in disbelief, almost unable to read.
But the magic of words is clearly a unique creation of the dragon race!
