I want to capture the heroine after traveling through time

After handling all subsequent matters related to the Heavenly Dao in this low-level small world, Di Lian slowly loosened the Heavenly Dao's restraints, allowing it to regain its freedom. However, at this moment, she keenly sensed a frightening aura permeating the surroundings.

Gazing again, he was shocked to discover that in a dimly lit corner not far away, piles of debris as tall as mountains were piled up in a disorderly manner. And in this seemingly ordinary corner, there were actually many children who had been abducted and brought here by hateful human traffickers.

The scene was truly heartbreaking. Each of the children looked gaunt and terrified, their suffering unimaginable. Without exception, every child had endured inhuman torture and abuse—their once intact limbs were now mutilated, with some left with only half their bodies. Blood gushed from their wounds, staining the surrounding ground red. The sight was truly horrific, unbearable to watch.

Witnessing such a tragic scene, Di Lian's heart remained unmoved. She was accustomed to such sights. Unlike the inexperienced, simple-minded Ling Linyi, Di Lian had experienced countless worlds, wandering through countless years. Over the course of countless years, she had witnessed countless tragic scenes. Once, she too had compassion, repeatedly extending a helping hand to those suffering. However, the endless suffering in the world had gradually left her feeling powerless and numb.

But now, facing these pitiful children, Di Lian's mood has changed again...

As soon as Di Lian entered this area, she was acutely aware of an abnormality in the surrounding spatial fluctuations. This strange sensation quickly transmitted to her nerve endings, and at the same time, a familiar and powerful force resonated within her. Looking around, the entire warehouse space seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. Everything was still, as if time had completely frozen.

After some investigation, Di Lian finally discovered that the scene was caused by the astonishing magical power of Ling Linyi's Sky Spirit. Ling Linyi must have, after much difficulty, mastered and practiced the Sky Spirit technique, using his profound magical power to forcibly freeze time in this place. This would buy them enough time to rescue the children trapped here, facing a tragic fate.

Although the warehouse wasn't spacious, it was ideal for the current situation. Even the usually calm and composed Di Lian couldn't help but feel a surge of affection as she looked at everything before her. She even had the urge to hug Ling Linyi tightly, kiss her, hug her, and even lift her up high.

Di Lian smiled and turned around gracefully. Her beautiful and lively eyes were shining with admiration and joy, like a beam of bright light, directly projected onto Ling Linyi beside her.

Ling Linyi was now charming and adorable, her face brimming with youthful vitality. She playfully extended her fair, jade-like right hand, her movements light and gentle, like a feather gently falling, as it landed gently on top of Ling Linyi's head. Then, her fingers began to move slowly, like a gentle breeze across the grass, gently caressing Ling Linyi's hair.

The corners of Di Lian's mouth curled up slightly, creating a charming arc. That smile was like the bright, warm sunshine on a spring day, emitting a warm and gentle glow. Within this smile, there was a deep emotion, like the natural satisfaction a mother feels as she watches her child grow and become mature and steady.

She whispered in a clear and pleasant voice, "You've done a really great job, my little girl! It seems my initial judgment of you was correct. I truly have a discerning eye, able to instantly fall in love with this glittering piece of jade!"

Hearing Di Lian's praise, Ling Linyi, who was originally in a heavy mood, blushed a little and smiled embarrassedly at Di Lian's words that were full of praise.

But she gradually relaxed, and the depression that had accumulated in her heart due to the cruel scenes she had just witnessed seemed to be blown away by a breeze and slowly dissipated a lot.

Di Lian's strength was as powerful and swift as ever. She lifted her hand lightly, her movements as swift as lightning, completing the seal in an instant. As her gestures shifted, a dazzling golden light suddenly emanated, radiant and dazzling like a golden sun.

The golden light transformed into a sky spirit, initially carrying a somewhat fierce aura, but when it came into contact with Di Lian's body, it suddenly became incredibly gentle. As if guided by some mysterious force, this gentle energy continuously flowed out of Di Lian's body, rapidly spreading throughout the warehouse.

In the blink of an eye, the horrific and miserable scene that had once resembled hell on earth had undergone a drastic transformation! Those pitiful children, who had been brutally tortured beyond recognition by the traffickers and had their limbs broken, had miraculously recovered and become completely normal and healthy.

Looking at these children who had been reborn, Di Lian's face lit up with a relieved smile. She turned and whispered to Ling Linyi beside her, "I just cast a spell to erase those painful memories for these children. This way, they can live normal lives like other children. As for their parents... I think it's best to leave this experience to them, so that they can be more vigilant and avoid similar tragedies from happening again."

Ling Linyi nodded slightly and replied softly, "Di Lian, I didn't expect you to come so soon." His words could not hide his surprise and astonishment.

Di Lian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a lazy and gentle smile, and said slowly: "I can sense that a bold little girl is in danger. Don't forget, I said that I will protect you and never leave you in the future!" His voice was like a spring breeze, which made people feel warm.

After everything was properly handled, Di Lian's originally tense expression relaxed instantly, and he returned to his usual lazy look with a slight smile on his face.

At that moment, Ling Linyi's beautiful eyes had already turned slightly red, and it seemed as if crystal-clear tears were constantly sparkling in her eye sockets, like the bright stars in the night sky. She pursed her pink lips tightly, afraid that if she wasn't careful, the tears would fall. However, despite such efforts to control her emotions, her gaze remained fixed on Di Lian in front of her, not moving away for a moment.

At this moment, Ling Linyi's heart was like a surging storm, with countless words circling in his mind, but in the end they all converged into this short and affectionate thank you: "Di Lian, thank you so much..." Although the voice of this sentence was very soft, the endless gratitude and deep dependence contained in it were so obvious that people could feel the sincere emotions deep in her heart as soon as they heard it.

After hearing Ling Linyi's words, Di Lian smiled slightly, gently stretched out her hand, gently stroked her head, and said softly: "Silly girl, do we still need to say thank you to each other? Don't forget, we are a family." Her tone was full of pampering and care, just like the warm sunshine in spring falling on the earth, making people feel extremely comfortable and at ease.

Ling Linyi was momentarily stunned by Di Lian's response, then a smile as bright as spring blossoms blossomed across her face. The tears that had previously clung to her eyes were instantly washed away by joy. She nodded vigorously and replied, "Yes!" The clear, melodious sound, like the sound of a yellow oriole escaping a valley, lingered in the air for a long time.

"Okay, let's send these kids back first?"

"Okay!" Ling Linyi responded, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Di Lian, it seems like there are more people coming later. I'll wait here for a while and rescue them all before leaving."

"Okay, then I'll send them to their respective homes and wait for you at the company." Di Lian thought for a while and made the arrangements. With a wave of his hand, he took all the children away.

The nature in Ling Linyi's consciousness was also taken away.

After watching Di Lian leave, Ling Linyi suddenly remembered that there was another one outside!
