Ye Luoli's Golden Glory

Jin Litong spent the next few days very "happily" in the Ice Crystal Palace. He fully demonstrated his cooking skills, but we won't mention the several times the kitchen exploded, after all, those were just accidents.

However, in view of Jin Litong's superb cooking skills, Bing Lixue resolutely forbade Jin Litong from entering the kitchen.

Even Jin Litong himself didn't dare to try the dark dishes made by him, so the poor Golden Lion became the "victim" of these delicacies. In the past few days, the Golden Lion suffered severe torture.

Despite this, the golden lion chose to trust Jin Litong again and again, but each time ended in disappointment. In the end, as soon as it saw Jin Litong holding food, it would immediately run away and refused to come back no matter how it was called.

Fortunately, Bing Lixue took action in time to stop this situation, otherwise the Golden Lion could not imagine what his future life would be like.

"Are you leaving?" Bing Lixue gathered her long hair and her voice was as soft as falling snowflakes.

"Well, I have some questions that need answers. I've had a very pleasant time in the Ice Crystal Palace these past few days, but it's a pity that it was too short..."

Jin Litong pursed his lips and shook his head gently, his eyes revealing a hint of regret and reluctance.

Bing Lixue looked at Jin Litong deeply, then said slowly: "Well, when you find the answer, you can come to the Ice Crystal Palace again when you have time."

Her voice was calm and firm.

Jin Litong nodded slightly, a hint of hesitation and uneasiness flashing in his eyes, but he finally decided to leave. He reached out and gently stroked the golden lion's head.

"must!"

Jin Litong nodded solemnly, his voice full of promise and determination. However, just as he turned and jumped onto the golden lion's back, his eyes suddenly dimmed, as if he had thought of something.

I don’t know when we’ll meet again. This journey is long, the golden furnace... Oh, it’s still me...

"Roar!"

The golden lion sensed the change in its master's mood, shook its head from side to side, climbed up from the ground, and roared towards the sky. Its voice was full of power and majesty.

Afterwards, the golden lion came close to Bing Lixue and rubbed its nose against her skirt to express its affection and reluctance.

Bing Lixue patted its head gently, smiled and said to it: "Okay, see you next time."

Finally, Bing Lixue gently waved her hand, and a gust of icy wind blew up, enveloping Jin Litong and the Golden Lion. They gradually drifted away with the wind, disappearing into the distant sky.

Bing Lixue murmured softly, shook her head, turned around and returned to the cold ice crystal palace.

Come with the wind, go with the wind...

When the cold wind surrounding Jin Litong dissipated, he appeared in front of a primeval forest. Here, the cold wind could no longer move forward.

Sunlight filters through the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows. The tall trees, with their twisted roots and gnarled branches, are a myriad of shapes and forms, their trunks covered in moss and vines, as if telling ancient stories.

"Roar--"

Seeing the road conditions ahead, the golden lion refused to move forward. He let out a low roar, indicating that he would wait for Jin Litong outside.

"Enter this forest and you'll be able to head to the Four Clocks!"

Jin Litong frowned as he looked at the complicated road conditions ahead. He raised his hand and summoned the Golden Bone Sword. Just as he was about to slash out a sword to clear the vines in front of him, he thought of something and put away the Golden Bone Sword.

Jin Litong had to move forward with difficulty through the gaps between the trees. The vines in the air blocked his vision, and he had to be careful of the moss on the ground. All this made Jin Litong miserable.

Jin Litong complained as he moved forward cautiously.

"Really? No one has come here at all these four o'clock? These vines are really annoying me!"

Jin Litong's face was full of annoyance. He pushed the vines blocking his way aside and finally saw the entrance to the Four Clocks. He couldn't help but complain.

"It's really tiring. Simple things have become complicated!"

I saw that the stone wall in front of me was blocked by a large amount of vines, but I could still see some mysterious stripes carved on the stone wall below.

"It's the vines again! Ye Luoli magic, the golden bone sword, unmatched!"

Jin Litong could no longer bear the vines in front of him, so he raised his sword and the sharp sword energy cut through the vines, revealing the true appearance inside.

“It’s much more comfortable now!”

Jin Litong inserted the golden bone sword into the ground, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, slowly placed his hand on the stone wall, the golden power in his body surged, and he spoke softly.

"Yeluoli magic, gold, silver, copper and iron, the golden lion opens the door, the golden prince Jin Litong submits his business card and meets the Princess of Time!"

As Jin Litong moved his hand away, a huge golden lion head slowly emerged on the stone wall in front of him. The lion was lifelike, as if it was about to break through the wall. It was the symbol of Jin Litong.

"It's Prince Jin, distinguished guest! Prince Jin, who has been 'wandering' all over the fairyland, has come to my little Four Clocks."

Before seeing the person, I heard his voice first. An ethereal and elegant voice came. At the same time, a light blue circular magic circle slowly emerged on the golden lion head, and a golden hour hand on the magic circle was constantly turning.

When Jin Litong heard Shi Xi's words, his face turned a little strange, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. Ever since he transformed, he had been "wandering" around the fairyland and rarely returned to the treasure cave.

"Time Messenger, usher in the guests!"

Following Shi Xi's command, a robot flew out from the magic circle, spun in the air for a while, then slowly landed on the ground with its arms spread out. Then, a huge golden clock emerged behind it.

"This thing is interesting, I can make one too!"

Jin Litong looked up and down at the Time Messenger, thinking about the feasibility in his heart. Before he could think about it carefully, the Time Messenger's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Prince Jin Litong, please follow me!"

The Messenger of Time made a gesture of invitation to Jin Litong, then turned and walked to the huge golden clock, stretched out his hands and gently stroked the clock face. As he moved, the golden clock behind him flickered slightly and slowly opened, revealing a mysterious space.

Immediately afterwards, three golden steps appeared out of thin air before Jin Litong. He took a step forward and walked into the mysterious space without hesitation, with the Time Messenger following quietly behind him. After both the person and the machine had entered, the golden clock and the lion head on the wall slowly began to disappear.

"Another dimension?" Jin Litong looked around as he walked, his heart filled with curiosity. This Four-Hour Clock was arguably one of the most mysterious places in the entire wonderland. This was his first time there, so naturally he wanted to observe it carefully.

Passing through this space, they arrived at a bridge. On the other side of the bridge, a vast platform loomed. A large, moon-like clock hung in the center, its face constantly flickering with various colors. The entire platform seemed to float above a misty, crystal-clear river of time, dotted with tiny stars. The dreamlike scene captivated Jin Litong.

"The long river of time?"

Jin Litong slowly moved to the edge of the river of time, looked at the river of time below, touched his chin and thought.

But then I saw ripples on the river surface, and a small water-blue boat emerged from the river. On the boat, a man in a black robe was steering the boat.

"Please come aboard, Prince Jin. I'll take you to see the Time Princess!"

The Time Messenger's body glowed with blue light and flew above the long river of time. The man in black robe tilted his head slightly, as if observing Jin Litong.
