Long Road to Stardom

She originally had a pair of eyes that could not change, and now she has this mark. I really don't want her to live in peace.

Wu Jiaoran saw Xing sighing by the stream and asked hurriedly, "Xing, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the mark on your forehead?"

"No, I just think it's pretty and I admire it." Lin Xing turned around and said to Jiaoran with a smile, but he was complaining wildly in his heart.

"I think it looks good too. When you were practicing magic, you didn't have the mark unique to the demons. People thought you were not from the demon clan. It seems that the technique has to be practiced to a certain level before the mark on the forehead will appear. Now no one will question that you are not from the demon clan." Wu Jiaoran said happily.

"Really~" Lin Xing's mouth twitched slightly, and he was unable to refute for a moment.

"However, this mark on your forehead is the first time I've seen it." Wu Jiaoran said with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Maybe the martial arts book I chose has few people practicing it, so it's normal that you haven't seen it." Lin Xing quickly made up an excuse.

"That's true." Wu Jiaoran nodded without denying.

Seeing that Jiaoran was about to say something, Lin Xing quickly interrupted and said, "Jiaoran, why don't we go find the mouse that brought you here? Will something happen?"

"No, it will definitely come back soon."

"Look, it's back." Wu Jiaoran said, pointing at a mouse running towards a valley not far away.

Lin Xing looked in the direction Wu Jiaoran pointed, his pupils trembled slightly, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Squeak, is that you?"

She was afraid that this was a dream, so she pinched her thigh quickly. Only when she felt the pain did she dare to believe this fact.

Seeing Zhizhi getting closer and closer to him, Lin Xing ran over in a hurry. After a while, the man and the beast looked at each other at a distance.

Lin Xing didn't know what to say for a moment, but when she saw that Zhizhi was safe and sound, a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"Will 'Squeak' blame her for not being able to protect it?" Lin Xing hesitated when she thought of this.

Zhizhi looked at the master in front of him and couldn't help asking, "Master, will you blame me for leaving without saying goodbye?"

The man and the beast each had their own thoughts in their minds, and they just stared at each other for a long time without taking a step forward.

Wu Jiaoran saw that the man and the beast hadn't responded for a long time, so she walked over and asked in confusion, "Xing, what's going on between you and Zhizhi?"

Lin Xing came back to his senses and explained, "Nothing serious, I just thought this mouse was really pretty, so I looked at it a few more times."

"Xing, is there anything wrong with your eyes? What's so good about this black mouse?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhizhi beside him shouted at Wu Jiaoran, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Xing, look at it, it still looks unconvinced."

Lin Xing didn't know how to answer for a moment, but he still picked up Zhizhi and said against his will, "This black one looks so good. I like black the most. It just suits my aesthetic taste."

After saying that, he rubbed it with his face.

"Xing, you haven't been possessed, have you? That's not what you said before."

Wu Jiaoran was about to continue speaking when Lin Xing covered her mouth and said, "When did I ever say this? Jiaoran, you must have remembered it wrongly."

Then he winked at Jiaoran and let her go.

Wu Jiaoran was a little confused, but she didn't continue talking. However, her eyes were full of doubts.

Lin Xing naturally knew the doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it now. It wouldn't be too late to explain it later.

Then she looked at Zhizhi in her arms and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She didn't expect to meet her here. She felt indescribably happy and hugged her tighter.

Zhizhi was almost suffocated by Lin Xing's hug. He quickly sent a message in his mind, "Master, please loosen up. I can't breathe."

"'Squeak', can you speak now?" Lin Xing asked in surprise.

"Master, the contract we signed has created a connection in our sea of ​​consciousness, which is why you can hear what I say." Zhizhi explained.

"So this is ah."

Lin Xing nodded thoughtfully, and then asked the question she had been wanting to ask, "Did you blame me back then in the Beiming Mountains?"

"Master, why do you think so? I was afraid you would blame me for leaving without saying goodbye."

When Lin Xing heard this, the knot in his heart was instantly untied. He touched Zhizhi's head and said, "Then tell me, that monster is your father."

"It was indeed my father. The beast tide was launched because they were looking for me. They thought I was hidden by humans."

"But I picked you up in Qingfeng Continent. How come you caused a beast tide in Leiming Continent?" Lin Xing asked puzzledly.

"Master, I don't know about that."

Lin Xing thought about it and realized that when it met Zhizhi, it was still an egg, so how could it know anything? He stopped asking and was about to ask something else when a voice came from the front.

"Xing, why are you standing there motionless?" Wu Jiaoran turned around, looked at Lin Xing and shouted loudly.

Lin Xing immediately came back to his senses and slapped his head. He was so busy talking to Zhizhi that he forgot about Jiaoran. He quickly replied, "I think this mouse is really good-looking, so I stopped to look at it for a while."

When Wu Jiaoran heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously. She really didn't understand why Xing treated this mouse differently, but she still respected Xing's preference. Maybe Xing just liked this kind of mouse.

If Lin Xing knew Jiaoran was thinking this way, she would definitely cry out for injustice. She said this just to avoid being discovered.

At the beginning, she turned into a six-year-old child and went to the "Demon Cloud Sect". If Jiaoran knew that the mouse was her spiritual pet, everything would be exposed. She had to say this against her will to get away with it.

But this is obviously not a long-term solution. Fortunately, only she can hear what Zhizhi said, so it won't be exposed for a while.

She suddenly felt grateful for this 'forbidden soul space' that prevented the two of them from communicating temporarily.

Wu Jiaoran looked at Xing's constantly changing expression and asked, "Xing, what are you thinking about? Why does your expression keep changing?"

"Ah, nothing, just thinking of something."

Lin Xing followed Jiaoran's footsteps and continued, "Jiaoran, you and Zhizhi have been in here for so long, have you found anything that can help you leave here?"

"I didn't find that, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed here for so long. But there is an altar in the valley. I studied it for a long time but couldn't find a way out."

"Altar? Jiaoran, take me to see it, maybe I can see something from it." Lin Xing said impatiently when he heard this.

"Xing, even if you don't tell me, I will take you there. Otherwise, we may have to stay here for a hundred years before we can leave." After Wu Jiaoran finished speaking, she took Lin Xing towards the altar.
