Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Looking at Lin Ziyu's anxious expression, Long Yan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He gently hugged Lin Ziyu, gently stroked his hair, and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm just away for a while. There are some things I need to take care of, and I'll be back once everything is settled. As for the specific time, I'm not sure, but I promise it won't be too long."

Lin Ziyu leaned quietly in Long Yan's arms without saying a word.

Long Yan thought for a moment and said, "Zi Yu, while I'm away, you should think carefully about whether you want to be with me. After all, my status is special, and the matter of bearing offspring... If you still feel you can't accept it when we meet again, we can terminate the contract. I will understand and respect your decision."

Hearing Long Yan's words, Lin Ziyu felt depressed. He knew that Long Yan was right, but if he couldn't accept this, they wouldn't be able to make it to the end.

Lin Ziyu said softly: "I will think about it seriously, Long Yan... Then you must be careful! If you encounter danger, you must notify me in time! Also, if possible, try to come back as soon as possible." There was a hint of reluctance and worry in his voice.

Long Yan looked at Lin Ziyu's worried expression, smiled gently, reached out and gently touched his head, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Ziyu, I will take good care of myself. Besides, I believe that with your strength, you will be able to protect yourself. When I come back, maybe you will have become even stronger."

After hearing Long Yan's words, Lin Ziyu felt a little relieved, but he still felt reluctant. He smiled slightly, revealing two cute dimples, and said to Long Yan, "Well, I will also work hard to practice. But, Long Yan, regarding the academy...how are you handling it? Are you still going?"

Long Yan knew that Lin Ziyu cared about him, so he smiled and replied, "I have already submitted my graduation application to the academy, because the academy has a rule that as long as the psychic level reaches level seven, you can graduate early."

"Oh." Lin Ziyu's eyes revealed a hint of loneliness, as if he was not satisfied with this answer. After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "When are you leaving?" There was a hint of sadness in his voice.

Long Yan replied calmly: "If you hadn't come out of the space today, I would have left by now."

Hearing this, Lin Ziyu's anger was instantly ignited. He angrily sent Long Yan out of the space and shouted loudly: "Go away! Humph..."

Long Yan came out of the space and smiled helplessly. He knew that Lin Ziyu was in a bad mood at the moment, but he couldn't change the reality. He sighed softly, then turned and left the room.

When Long Yan walked out of the room, Long Si and Long Yi were already standing at the door waiting for him. They bowed respectfully to Long Yan and said, "Your Highness."

Long Yan nodded slightly, then said lightly: "Let's go." His voice was calm and firm, as if he was full of confidence in what was about to happen.

Lin Ziyu quietly watched Long Yan leave through the spatial barrier. A bitter feeling welled up in his heart. "Ah! I really like Long Yan. As soon as he left, I started to worry."

"You can also go with him. It's still not too late to catch up with him now." said the furry ball who came running out of nowhere.

"No. I need to take this time to think carefully..." Lin Ziyu said.

"It's up to you." The furry ball looked at Lin Ziyu with a hint of worry in his eyes. This divine beast could not understand human emotions.

Lin Ziyu smiled bitterly and said, "I need some time to think clearly about whether I can accept the idea of having a child."

He turned around and no longer looked in the direction Long Yan left.

"I hope everything goes well for him..." Lin Ziyu murmured softly.

However, his heart could never calm down.

In the following days, Lin Ziyu immersed himself in cultivation, trying to use busyness to numb his longing for Long Yan.

But whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Long Yan's figure would always appear in his mind involuntarily, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

On the seventh day after Long Yan left, Lin Ziyu once again went treasure hunting in the mysterious palace. Finding nothing, he slowly walked out of the palace, holding the plush ball, and then lay on the grass outside, quietly gazing at the sky above.

The huge palace was exceptionally empty and desolate. Except for the two places Long Yan had taken him to, all other rooms were closed and inaccessible. Lin Ziyu remembered that he was a little depressed because Long Yan had proposed to leave, and forgot to ask Long Yan about the palace.

Since Long Yan left, Lin Ziyu hasn't returned to the academy, choosing to stay home. During the day, he'd go to the pharmacy to practice refining medicine, but due to his downturn, his success rate wasn't very high. Sometimes, he'd go chat with his grandfather and ask him about his cultivation. At night, he'd shop online in his space. As the space grew larger, it contained many more precious medicinal herbs, which made Lin Ziyu very excited.

"Fluffy Dumpling, do you know the palace behind?" Lin Ziyu suddenly asked.

The plush ball froze for a moment, seemingly surprised by the question. After a moment, it came to its senses and replied, "Yes, that's the temple! When your spiritual power reaches the ninth level of perfection, you can challenge the levels inside, and passing them will earn you rewards of varying levels!"

Hearing this, Lin Ziyu felt a surge of excitement. However, he immediately frowned, looked at the plush ball in confusion, and asked, "You knew, why didn't you tell me?"

The plush ball blinked, looking somewhat innocent, and explained, "I thought you already knew. I never saw you ask... Besides, didn't Long Yan take you to get the prize inside?"

Lin Ziyu nodded thoughtfully. So that was it. He decided to first improve his psychic power level, and when he reached level nine, he would challenge the temple's levels. So, he left, carrying the plush ball, and returned to his house.

"Wait, Fluffy Dumpling, you said... the temple can only be challenged when one has perfected the ninth level of psychic power, right?" Lin Ziyu suddenly thought of something, stopped and asked.

The plush ball nodded: "Yes, only those who have reached the ninth level of spiritual power are qualified to challenge the temple and explore it."

"This means that Long Yan's spiritual power has reached level nine." Lin Ziyu was shocked. He knew what this meant.

However, the fluffy ball shook his head and corrected him, "No, based on my observation of him, his spatial and ice psychic powers are at least level ten, possibly even higher."

Hearing this, Lin Ziyu's eyes widened, and he looked at the plush ball in disbelief. Tenth-level psychic power! This was beyond his imagination.

"Moreover," the furry ball continued, "he has also been recognized by the Thunder Elves and can use Thunder psychic energy at will."

Lin Ziyu took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He realized that this world was much more complicated than he had imagined. He had thought he had understood the rules of this world, but now it seemed that there were still many unknowns waiting for him to explore.
