Traces of riding deer remain
When he first met the Little Deer Fairy, to prevent her from revealing his whereabouts, he planted a spell on her.
But the dragon race's magic is passed down through bloodlines, so how could outsiders possibly learn the power of words?
This dossier was different from what he had expected. It did not detail the reasons for their attack on the dragons, nor did it describe the full process of the dragons' extermination.
Moreover, Shen Qiexing had doubts about the statements "the Soul Master asked me for dozens of Sun-Golden Pills" and "I knew it all along".
There must be some connection between the Golden Lotus of the Sun that he mistakenly picked last time and this so-called Golden Elixir of the Sun. Judging from the expression on Little Deer Immortal's face, which looked like the rest of his life was over, this Golden Lotus of the Sun must be a treasure of the Forest Clan and must play a huge role.
Could it be...?
Is the Sun-Shining Golden Elixir refined from the Sun-Shining Golden Lotus?
But what use would the Soul Master have for so many Sun-Golden Pills?
There are too many mysteries surrounding this, and this file alone cannot explain these issues.
As Shen Qiexing rolled up the dossier to take it away, he reached for the red ribbon he had casually placed on the first layer, but his fingers suddenly touched something hard and cold.
With a thought, he immediately shone the light on the first floor, and froze on the spot after seeing what it was.
The golden scales reflected a dazzling light under the blue illumination, stinging Shen Qiexing's eyes.
He picked up the scale, which was about the size of his palm, with trembling hands.
The next second, suppressed sobs filled the empty attic, echoing for a long time.
That was the reverse scale of the Xuanhai Dragon God.

Yue Fuge crossed her arms and was reminiscing with a sigh about the earth-shattering war that annihilated her clan when she suddenly heard the sound of a lock clicking shut inside. She hurriedly looked inside.
"alright?"
"Um."
Shen Qiexing leaned against the door and responded softly. The pale moonlight shone on his face, and Yue Fuge noticed a hint of bloodshot at the corner of his eye, and understood.
He finally understood why this person insisted on entering the archives.
Seeing that Shen Qiexing was walking forward without saying a word, Yue Fuge hesitated for a moment before saying, "Be careful, I'll go first."
Shen Qiexing ignored him and wandered around aimlessly. He didn't know what he wanted to do at that moment, he only knew that he didn't want to go back to that home at all.
That house where the Sen people live.
But he eventually went back.
He still needs Lu Yixin for now.
—
Shen Qiexing stood before Lu Yixin's bed, quietly watching her with an unreadable expression in his eyes.
The little deer fairy slept with her head facing down under the bed, half of her body hanging out of the air, and she didn't wake up even like that. Her sleep quality is truly unbeatable.
Shen Qiexing slowly reached out and placed his hand on her neck, gradually tightening his grip.
"Hmm..."
Lu Yixin's face slowly flushed red, her eyelashes fluttering wildly, as if she might open her eyes at any moment.
If she had exerted just a little more strength, she would never have woken up again.
Realizing this, Shen Qiexing gritted his teeth and withdrew the hand that was gripping her.
"Brother Qiexing, I dreamt again last night that I was hanging myself."
Lu Yixin touched her neck with lingering fear and leaned on Shen Qiexing's shoulder. "Do you think I should find someone to interpret my dreams? Why do I keep dreaming that I'm hanging myself?"
The girl's fluffy long hair brushed against Shen Qiexing's ears, tickling him to the core.
"Maybe you've been under too much pressure lately."
Instead of dodging, he straightened the little deer's head so she could lean against him more comfortably.
Since her life was nearing its end, God was willing to treat her well in these final moments.
“What pressure could I possibly have?” Lu Yixin smiled, fiddling with an unidentified little flower in her hand. “Grandpa is leaving tomorrow, I’m so happy.”
What are you so happy about?
"You're so silly," Lu Yixin tucked the little flower behind his ear and gently flicked his cheek. "Now that Grandpa's gone, you won't have to worry about your whereabouts being discovered every day. Even though he's only gone for three days, you can finally relax a bit during those three days!"
When did he start to feel anxious?
Shen Qiexing's heart sank, but he remained expressionless. "Do you know that I'm worried about being discovered by the Forest King?"
Is the Little Deer Fairy really that perceptive?
Now that you know his identity, why not expose him...?
Lu Yixin gave him a sly smile, "Do you really think I'm a complete idiot?"
"Have you forgotten how I have to push you into the backyard storage room every time Grandpa comes to my place? It's not good to keep hiding there, and Grandpa has been coming to my place a lot lately for some reason. You must be afraid of being discovered."
Shen Qiexing turned his head away silently.
He didn't know her well enough, and he didn't even consider how she could possibly guess his identity.
You big idiot.
"Uh-huh," he mumbled a couple of perfunctory replies, his face expressionless. "I'm really scared."
"It's all soft and fluffy, don't be scared."
Lu Yixin thought he was really scared, so she reached out and stroked his loose hair a few times. "Don't worry, I will hide you very well. No one but me will be able to find you."
He knew.
Because the power of words he planted has never manifested until now.
How could she trust a stranger so easily?
“Speaking of which, I’ve never seen your beast form before,” Lu Yixin said, stretching against the tree trunk. “But then again, once I got used to human form, I rarely turned back into my beast form.”
Would you like to see it?
“I don’t really want to,” she said, turning her head away from him. After a moment, she turned back and said seriously, “But since you really want to show it to me, I’ll reluctantly take a look.”
Shen Qie Xing chuckled and said lazily, "Little Deer Fairy, you're so cute."
"I'll change back and show you when I have the chance later."

"King of the Forest, what does your internal strife have to do with me?" Phoenix Maiden slammed her hand on the shore, her deep gaze fixed on King of the Forest, her lips parted slightly, "I don't have that much time to waste with you."
"Now that we have located the Dragon God, find him quickly. I will personally execute him."
"Does the Divine Lord think I haven't gone to look for him?!"
King Sen was furious, slamming his cane heavily on the ground. "If he were really that easy to find, he wouldn't have the guts to come back!"
When he last visited Lu Yixin's residence, he had already thoroughly surveyed the entire area within a radius of dozens of miles, but he couldn't find even the slightest trace of the dragon race.
Only Xin Xin was filled with a large amount of dragon-like energy.
“Since the Forest King is so incompetent, there’s no need to search any further,” Phoenix Maiden put down her teacup, her eyes filled with malice. “I will go and search myself.”

On the first day of June, as dawn broke in the east, Shen Qiexing left home and quietly went to the territory of the wolf clan.
"Xi Wu, keep an eye on the snow leopards' movements. If they make any move, intercept them immediately."
Yue Fuge led the wolf pack through a canyon in front of the Kongsang Mountains and successfully joined forces with Xi Wuyi's army.
"Don't worry, Yue Fuge. I sent a small team of elite soldiers to ambush Zhongxiu Plateau last night. They will send word immediately if there is any disturbance."
Xi Wu was a tall, imposing young man with a robust build and flowing black hair. He had a scar on the left side of his eye that extended to his cheekbone, and his sword-like eyebrows were raised, giving him an imposing presence even without anger.
"There's been no news from them so far, so we'll keep moving forward."
This time, Yue Fuge and Xi Wu mobilized almost the entire tribe to ensure everything went smoothly.
Shen Qiexing stood atop the cliff, looking down at the vast army surging into the canyon. He stroked his chin, his eyes narrowing thoughtfully.
He had a vague feeling that Yue Fuge was probably going to fight and never return.
As soon as they stepped into the territory of the Kongsang Mountains, Yue Fuge immediately signaled the wolf pack to stop.
"What's wrong?" Xi Wu asked.
“Something’s not right,” Yue Fuge said warily, glancing around. “It’s too quiet.”
There was a breeze blowing, but there wasn't even the sound of grass rustling around.
Before he could finish speaking, a scream came from not far behind him, instantly causing a commotion.
The body of a gray wolf was almost cleaved in two, blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
"Moon floats on the song, attack is nothing, why don't you surrender?"
An aged figure suddenly appeared in mid-air before her eyes. Yue Fuge looked closely and realized that it was none other than the Forest King!
"King Sen! You're not...!"
Yue Fuge was shocked and immediately realized that Sui Feng's information was false!
This was a smokescreen deliberately released by the Forest King to lure the snakes out of their hole, and they indeed took the bait!
Suddenly, figures appeared on the cliffs of the mountain range: white lions, snow leopards, argali sheep, brown bears... They had already surrounded Yue Fuge and Xi Wu.
"Yue Fuge, you fucking dare to lie to me!" Xi Wu was both shocked and furious, and cursed at Yue Fuge.
"Why start infighting at a time like this? Let's deal with the immediate issues first!"
Now that things have come to this, Yue Fuge has no chance of surrendering obediently.
Even if there's only a sliver of hope, he will break through.
But it's clear... there's not even a sliver of hope.
Shen Qiexing looked down and mischievously raised the corners of his lips. He hadn't expected that Yue Fuge and Xi Wu were such passionate people.
interesting.

"Brother Qiexing!"
"Brother Qiexing!"
Lu Yixin ran around the yard, searching every room, and even climbed a tree in the backyard to enjoy the view.
"That's strange, where is he?"
Lu Yixin sat on a side branch, her legs dangling and swinging. She touched her chin and wondered, "Could it be because I told him he didn't have to worry about being caught these past few days that he went out to play?"
"You didn't even tell me!"
She angrily slammed her fist on the tree branch, nearly causing herself to fall.
The oak tree in the backyard was very tall, offering an excellent view. So when Huang Nu and her entourage arrived, they were already within Lu Yixin's sight from 500 meters away.
"That Divine Lord Phoenix Maiden? Didn't she already return to the Wutong Tree? What is she doing here?"
Moreover, there were about a dozen guards with unfriendly expressions following behind her, and Lu Yixin suddenly had a very bad feeling.
They're not here to arrest Brother Qiexing, are they...?
She quickly jumped down from the tree and came to the courtyard gate. After the Phoenix Maiden approached, she respectfully bowed and said, "Lu Yixin greets the Divine Lord."
"It's you," a hint of surprise flashed in the Phoenix Maiden's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. She waved her sleeve and said in a stern voice, "You two, seize her!"
As soon as she finished speaking, two guards stepped forward, twisted her arms behind her back, and forced her to kneel down despite her resistance.
"My Lord! What do you mean by this?!"
Her shoulder ached from being twisted, and Lu Yixin looked up in pain, her eyes almost welling up with tears as she stared at Huang Nu with a mixture of shock and fear.
The Phoenix Maiden didn't answer her, her tone becoming even more forceful: "Take her away!"
