Firefly Journey

Lin Yuanran succinctly recounted his experiences on the Pan-Ancient Continent.

When Lin Yuanran returned from the ancient continent, he felt depressed, not as happy as he had imagined.

After four years of hard work, as I was about to leave, I realized there were too many things I couldn't let go of. The wind chimes were, above all, the most important.

But fate seemed to be on his side. Only half a month had passed since he returned from the ancient continent, and the girl he thought was separated from him by two worlds actually appeared in front of him. Could there be a more beautiful reunion than this?

Fengling summarized Lin Yuanran's speech: "When I transmigrated into the identity of Xu Penglong, she was very young. I spent more than ten years there until I came back."

You went there after graduating from high school, and returned two years later, while I…

Wind Chime paused for a moment: "The time we returned was only one hour different from when we traveled back in time. Bravewich was right, we do live on different timelines, but the difference isn't that significant."

Fortunately, it wasn't that serious, and the two of them felt relieved at the same time.

"By the way, Death summoned three people in total. Besides you and me, I'm a little curious about who the other one is," Lin Yuanran said.

Could it be someone close to you? That would be really funny.

Fengling shrugged: "Who knows? You came back during the May Day holiday, while I came back in April, it's been almost two months."

Over the past month or so, I've discovered that extraordinary powers also exist on Earth, as you know. However, I have a problem: the magical power of the Pan-Ancient Continent differs from that of Earth, and they repel each other, preventing me from cultivating for over a month.

Hearing Fengling's distress, Lin Yuanran's eyes lit up. He had also been troubled for the first few days after returning, but the mysterious group chat was very useful, allowing him to obtain a compatible cultivation technique. He just didn't know if it would work for Fengling.

Lin Yuanran said, "After I came back, I was pulled into a group chat by a mysterious person..."

Lin Yuanran recounted his experiences over the past few days. He didn't hide anything about the group chat. In the Pan-Ancient Continent, he had kept many things from Feng Ling because of his identity as a transmigrator. Now that the truth was out, he would no longer hold back.

After hearing Lin Yuanran's story, Fengling said, "You really do have a knack for attracting trouble."

This time, Lin Yuanran shrugged and said, "Who says otherwise?"

"I'll send you the cultivation technique file later." Lin Yuanran had just finished speaking when he remembered that Feng Ling was American and wouldn't use something like QQ chat, so he changed his words:

"I'll print out the exercise manual for you later."

To everyone's surprise, Fengling refused, and her reason was quite simple.

She pulled out her phone and waved it: "I'm an international student now, so when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Download a chat app that's commonly used here, and remember to add yourself in the contacts."

This means we need to stay in touch more often...

Lin Yuanran naturally wouldn't miss such a great opportunity. He grabbed Fengling's phone, quickly downloaded QQ, and added himself as a friend.

If only the ancestral artifact had no restrictions, then the two of them would have their own dedicated chat channel.

Speaking of ancestral artifacts, he currently possesses two: the "Sun" and the "Mask." The one on Fengling's body is the "Heavenly Book" of the Dark Temple. Did she bring it with her when she returned?

After all, the Holy See and the Dark Temple are in cahoots, and Death, using Blair's identity as Pope, couldn't possibly send back time travelers without considering the issue of the Ancestral Artifact.

When Lin Yuanran offered to return the two ancestral artifacts, Bravewich refused. So, what about the wind chime...?

"Do you still have your 'heavenly book' on you?" Lin Yuanran asked.

"You're still here. What about you?"

“Mine is here too,” Lin Yuanran exclaimed. “Death is truly generous.”

“It’s not that he’s generous,” Wind Chime said, “it’s that our teacher is generous.”

Lin Yuanran was taken aback, thinking that it was indeed true. The current Bravewich was largely like Cassius, and perhaps Bravewich's decisions were influenced by Cassius.

Lin Yuanran nodded and tentatively asked, "What...are your plans for the future?"

"It took me a lot of effort to convince my parents to let me study in Daxia. I'll probably learn about this world while I'm studying. I have to thank you for giving me the cultivation method to integrate the magic power of the ancient continent. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort."

Lin Yuanran was silent for a while before saying, "If I remember correctly, when I drank the introductory potion with extraordinary power, the magical beast bones inside were given to me by you, as was this staff."

As he spoke, Lin Yuanran thought about taking out the "Darkness Ritual," but considering that they were on the street, he decided against it.

"Those are all minor matters."

"It's not a small amount for me."

If it's not a small matter, then what is it? It's a big matter, of course. In other words, anything that concerns you is a big matter, even if it's as insignificant as dust.

“Have you ever thought that since we possess powers beyond those of ordinary people, we are destined not to live like ordinary people, and going to school quietly is probably impossible?” Lin Yuanran said.

“I’ve thought about it,” Fengling said. “I didn’t come to Daxia this time expecting to study properly, since I can learn those subjects with just a glance. I came here to see you, but I didn’t expect to achieve my goal so easily. It seems like there’s nothing else to do besides settle down and live a peaceful life now, right?”

She came to see me...

Lin Yuanran's heart and facial expression softened completely, and he was once again certain that Feng Ling had a certain degree of acceptance of him.

If I confess my feelings now, is the chance of getting accepted very high?

Lin Yuanran suppressed his thoughts. They had just met, and everything had happened so suddenly. He hadn't prepared anything. He would wait and see; it certainly wouldn't be long.

Lin Yuanran said, "I thought about it carefully. Although Brevich summoned us to His world without our consent, which was wrong, it is not incomprehensible."

Cassius is my teacher. He has always been committed to peace on the continent and advocated equality for all races. I don't want his wishes to be in vain.

Fengling said, "So, you're planning to find a way back?"

Lin Yuanran nodded: "Before, I longed to come back, but now I have other thoughts. I hope to find a way to freely travel between the two worlds, and then become strong enough to face the giant shadow of the starry sky that Death spoke of with me."

Fengling smiled and said, "Actually, being a good child is quite boring. You should know me. I've never been a good child, so... count me in?"

Fengling raised an eyebrow and then stretched out her little hand.

The meaning is clear: I'll be there for you no matter what you do.

Lin Yuanran smiled in response and gently placed his palm on top of hers.

Not only that, Lin Yuanran turned his hand over and grabbed Feng Ling's small hand, then gently squeezed it.

Fengling naturally sensed his ulterior motives, but didn't say anything and silently cooperated.

Passersby turned to look, thinking that the two were quite polite, shaking hands in the street.

“The group I joined is quite interesting; you might find a way to speed up your cultivation there.” Lin Yuanran finally took his hand back. “To put our parents’ minds at ease, I’ll also give you the puppet-making techniques I’ve learned, so it will be easier for us to act.”

Feng Ling nodded, then stared intently at Lin Yuanran, leaving him bewildered and feeling rather embarrassed.

Feng Ling suddenly spoke up: "I feel like... your face looks a little unfamiliar."

Lin Yuanran looked around and whispered, "Could you use the divine oracle again?"

"why?"

"It's fine for you to use."

Although Fengling didn't understand why Lin Yuanran said that, she was sure he had a reason, so she did as he said, and the two of them instantly fell into the purple space.

Lin Yuanran waved his hand gently, and the "Thousand Illusions" mask took effect, restoring his appearance in the Pan-Ancient Continent.

He said, "Now, are you a little more familiar with it?"
