Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

After hearing Zhang Shouxu's explanation, Qiuyue finally calmed down. She let out a long breath, a look of fatigue between her brows as she said, "You should at least tell me..."

"Yes, the elders have this plan, but they plan to wait until they can't find out what's going on before telling you. Now they want to try to see if they can handle these things themselves, because they are afraid that it's just some villains causing trouble, and there's no need to alarm you and take action."

Zhang Shouxu gently stroked Qiuyue's back to comfort her. Qiuyue sighed again, lowered her head and leaned on his shoulder, and said sullenly: "Why are there so many bad things all of a sudden? Everything was fine just two days ago..."

"Everything will be fine, A-Ling, don't worry too much, be happy."

The moment Qiuyue leaned on his shoulder, Zhang Shouxu's heart almost softened. He loved the way Qiuyue relied on him, and he wished it could continue like this for generations to come. It would be even better if she stopped thinking about other people.

If you put a filter on Zhang Shouxu, you would probably be able to see pink hearts popping up crazily above his head, so many that they could bury the entire palace.

Qiuyue buried her face in his broad shoulder and rubbed it for a while before she said, "Go back and talk to the elders, or wait for your clan leader to come back and tell him to stop fighting internally. Instead of wasting time within the clan, it's better to support each other and become stronger so we can fight against all enemies from the outside world."

Zhang Shouxu responded gently. He lowered his head and kissed the top of Qiuyue's head. The tenderness in his eyes was almost drowning.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Qiuyue paused for a while before continuing, "Although I've forgotten many of my memories, I still vaguely remember that your Zhang family's enemy was a terrifying existence, so terrifying that even I would be in danger if I faced it..."

Zhang Shouxu, who had originally thought Qiuyue was just trying to persuade him, finally changed his expression when he heard the rest of the story. His pupils constricted slightly, and he said in disbelief, "Even you, sister, would be in danger if you faced it? Is there such a thing?"

Hearing his surprised tone, Qiuyue straightened up and looked at him, nodding slightly, her eyes full of seriousness. "Yes, there is such a thing, but I forgot what it was, or I just recalled some subtle memories. Anyway, it's a very terrifying creature with an extremely long lifespan. It has existed since ancient times. It seems that your Zhang family's mission is to fight against it."

Zhang Shouxu's expression instantly became serious. He did not doubt Qiuyue's words, because Qiuyue had no reason to lie to him, but if this was really the case, then things would get serious.

"I understand. I'll tell the clan leader after he comes out. I'll have him and the elders hold a meeting then. Ah Ling, do you have any other information about it? Can you tell me about it? I'll pass it on to the clan leader and ask them to pay more attention to it."

Qiuyue frowned slightly and fell into deep thought after hearing this. Zhang Shouxu looked at her closely, hoping that she could remember more. However, the next second, Zhang Shouxu's whole body trembled.

“A Ling!!”

Zhang Shouxu caught the unconscious person in horror. For a moment he felt like the sky was falling. If he hadn't tried to check if the person was still breathing, he would have gone crazy.

how come!

Isn't Ah Ling the most powerful Lord Linzu?!

Why did you faint?!

what happened?

Was it because he asked her to recall her memories?

Or is it the terrifying existence I just mentioned?!

Countless questions filled with fear flashed through his mind. Zhang Shouxu picked up the girl with red eyes. He kissed her forehead and cheeks tremblingly and uneasily, and a few sparkling tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.

"Don't be in trouble, please, don't scare me... Ah Ling, sister, please don't be in trouble..."

Zhang Shouxu carried Qiuyue into her bedroom with somewhat hurried steps. He gently placed her on the bed, then knelt beside her bed, holding her hand tightly, and buried his face in the back of her hand in pain and despair.

He didn't dare to ask the doctors in the tribe for help, because he didn't believe that mortal methods could be effective on Qilin, and he didn't dare to let the people in the tribe know that Qilin was weak.

He doesn't believe in human hearts.

"Please wake up soon, A Ling..."

When Qiuyue woke up, it was already dark. As soon as she opened her eyes slightly, Zhang Shouxu noticed it immediately. Before Qiuyue was fully awake, he hugged her tightly with tears in his eyes, his voice choked with sobs and hoarse: "You finally woke up, sister, you...you scared me to death..."

Why do I feel like crying more and more...

Qiuyue, who was still a little confused, subconsciously raised her hand and patted him on the back. She didn't remember how she fainted at all. She just felt that Zhang Shouxu was becoming more and more tearful. He was obviously a completely cold male god before.

After taking pictures of people for a long time, Qiuyue slowly came back to her senses. She said in a hoarse voice: "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm fine, be good."

Zhang Shouxu listened to the still gentle voice and couldn't help but hugged her tighter. After he came here with Qiuyue in his arms in the morning, he had been guarding here the entire time. In just one day, he looked as if he had been seriously ill. He looked like he deserved to be lying in bed more than Qiuyue, who had a rosy complexion.

"Sister, why did you suddenly faint? Is it because of the question I asked?"

After hugging her for a while, Zhang Shouxu stood up and asked, his red eyes full of worry and fear, but Qiuyue's next response made his face change suddenly.

"Fainted? Wasn't I taking a nap? Questions? Did you ask me any questions?"

Qiuyue's face was filled with confusion, but Zhang Shouxu's pupils trembled. He stared at Qiuyue intently and whispered, "Sister, do you remember what happened this morning?"

Qiuyue thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "This morning I asked you to wait for the clan leader to come out and tell him not to let the children fight among themselves. Then nothing happened. After that, it was just like usual. I drew talismans for a while, had lunch, and then took a nap."

As she spoke, Qiuyue glanced at the sky outside the window in confusion and said, "Did I wake up so late today? Did you cry just now because you thought I wouldn't wake up?"

As she spoke, Qiuyue felt that it made sense, because she remembered that when she was with Zhang Haike and his group, she slept for seven days and Zhang Hailou was just as scared as Zhang Shouxu. Thinking of this, she raised her hand and gently patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's normal to oversleep sometimes. I guess it's because I was too worried about the children, so I slept too much. It's okay."

For a moment, Zhang Shouxu felt a chill that went straight to his bones. He opened his thin lips slightly, but the words he wanted to say turned into a dull sound when he uttered them.

"Um……"

Qiuyue arched her eyebrows and coaxed, "That's right, it's okay, don't be afraid, wipe your face quickly, you look like you're crying, what time is it now, should I go pick up Cotton Pudding?"

Zhang Shouxu was startled, then he remembered that the two were still with the carpenter and had been there for almost a whole day. He forced down his suspicion and panic, stood up and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I have to go pick them up. Sister, wait for me, I'll be there right away."

Qiuyue nodded, and Zhang Shouxu kissed her forehead gently before leaving, looking back every few steps.

Zhang Shouxu's speed was faster than ever. When he caught the cotton pudding, the two little guys were so angry that they wanted to bite him, and their fur was extremely fluffy.

They actually left the two of them here for the whole day. If the carpenters hadn't brought them food, they would have been hungry at noon!

Zhang Shouxu looked at the two cotton puddings that were throwing tantrums and had no intention of teasing them. He simply picked up one in each hand and walked away. The cotton puddings were stunned by this and looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

What's wrong with this guy?

But soon, the two little ones got the answer.

Zhang Shouxu brought them to a place where no one was around, then he brought them in front of him and whispered, "A-ling was unconscious all day. I stayed by her side the whole time and didn't pay attention to you. I'm really sorry, but please don't act strangely in front of A-ling. She doesn't remember being unconscious. She thinks she picked you up for dinner and then sent you to the carpenter as usual. Don't show yourselves. I'll observe what's going on first."

The two little ones were completely stunned.

My sister was in a coma for a whole day!!!

Zhang Shouxu saw their eyes wide with shock, and worried they didn't quite understand, so he said again, "Anyway, there's something wrong with Ah Ling right now. Don't act strange in front of her, don't upset her, got it?"

Cotton Pudding nodded immediately, his eyes full of worry.

They don’t want anything to happen to their sister!

Seeing them nod, Zhang Shouxu carried them to the kitchen to get food, and then rushed back to Qiuyue as fast as he could. He was extremely frightened along the way, fearing that Qiuyue would faint again when he was away. Fortunately, things were not as bad as he imagined. When he came back with the two little ones and the lunch box, Qiuyue was sitting in the same position as in the morning. She looked at the paper with a few lines of words not yet written on it, with a pensive expression on her face. Obviously, she was thinking about how to correct the children.

Seeing this, Zhang Shouxu breathed a sigh of relief. After putting the two little ones down, he shouted, "Sister, we're back. It's time to eat."

Qiuyue looked up when she heard the voice, responded softly, then stood up and walked over.

After a normal dinner, Qiuyue returned to her previous seat. She was now thinking about how to make the children turn back on their feet and had no mind to do anything else. The same was true for Zhang Shouxu. He was now worried about Qiuyue and afraid that the scene in the morning would happen again.
