Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

On the Starry Sky Flying Boat.

When Li Jin'er ate the third five-needle pine cone, she was already a little dazed.

She held the fruit and sat carefully on the edge of the white fox fur couch.

It's not that I'm afraid Lin Xuan will take it back.

I was afraid that I would bite too hard and waste such a good thing.

After the five-needle pine cone entered her mouth, the five elements of spiritual energy spread out in circles within her body.

The golden energy seeped into the bones.

The moisture flows through the meridians.

Her original essence, which had been disrupted by the golden light of Li Jing's pagoda, gradually stabilized.

That feeling is too luxurious.

After the spiritual mountain drained away the earth veins of Trapped Sky Mountain, she hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.

In the past, being able to gnaw on even a little bit of residual spiritual energy was considered an incredibly good day.

The fruit Lin Xuan casually handed her was far superior to the few incense sticks she had stolen.

Li Jin'er looked down at the fruit pit in her hand and whispered, "This... is it really for me to eat?"

Lin Xuan sat to the side, holding a glass of spiritual juice.

"You've already eaten it, do you want to spit it out and give it back to me?"

Li Jin'er immediately covered her mouth.

She reacted quickly, her eyes filled with tension.

"I won't throw up."

"I'm just worried it will be too expensive."

Lin Xuan glanced at her.

"In my family, this is a snack."

Li Jin'er fell silent.

She thought Lin Xuan was bragging.

But on the jade table in the flying boat, there really was a plate.

Each five-needle pine cone exuded a spiritual aura that made her very being tremble.

If she had had something like this to eat before, she would never have been so hungry as to steal incense and candles.

Li Jin'er bit her lip.

I will pay you back.

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"How will you repay me?"

Li Jin'er thought about it seriously for a long time.

She can burrow underground.

They steal things.

They will also look for the spiritual energy of metal and water in the earth's veins.

But these things seemed worthless in front of Lin Xuan.

She whispered, "I can help you find underground spiritual veins."

Lin Xuan put down his cup.

"That's a real skill."

Upon hearing this, Li Jin'er immediately sat up straighter.

"I really will."

"There are several hidden veins beneath Trapped Sky Mountain. The main vein was drained by Spirit Mountain, and there are three smaller veins beside it."

"I can't dig it out because it's blocked by their Sanskrit array."

At this point, she lowered her head again.

"I'm too weak."

"Li Jing chased me so hard I had nowhere to run after just one tower."

Lin Xuan reached out his hand.

A gentle wisp of the laws of creation settled between her brows.

Li Jin'er's body stiffened.

The next moment, the chaotic flow of golden essence within her body seemed to be gently pressed down by a hand.

It doesn't hurt.

very warm.

It's also very comfortable.

The tiny cracks caused by the golden light of the pagoda were gradually smoothed out by the vitality of creation.

Li Jin'er's nose suddenly felt sore.

She wasn't immune to injury.

Monsters in Trapped Sky Mountain fought for territory, and the guardians on the edge of Spirit Mountain drove her away. A passing rogue cultivator wanted to capture her to refine pills.

She used to be injured and could only burrow underground, relying on her own essence to slowly endure the pain.

Nobody asked if it hurt.

No one would use laws of this level to heal her wounds.

Lin Xuan noticed her red eyes and softened his tone.

"Why are you crying?"

"Even Li Jing's dilapidated pagoda is gone, what are you still afraid of?"

Li Jin'er shook her head.

"It's not fear."

"that is……"

She couldn't say it.

After a long pause, he whispered, "I've been alone ever since I took human form."

"When others see me, they either want to arrest me or kill me."

"It was wrong of me to steal the incense and candles, but I was really just hungry."

"Those incense sticks are just sitting there untouched, and the monks on Mount Ling have plenty."

"But they want to turn me to ashes."

The laws of creation at Lin Xuan's fingertips became even more stable.

"The sacred mountain has no shortage of spiritual energy."

"But Western religions are desperate for money."

"They see a blade of grass and think it's fate, let alone a naturally born demon spirit like you."

Li Jin'er looked up.

"And what about you?"

"Did you save me because I'm useful too?"

Lin Xuan chuckled.

"Usefulness is one aspect."

Li Jin'er's heart tightened slightly.

Lin Xuan continued, "But more importantly, I don't like Li Jing."

"Napoleon bullies a hungry little girl and keeps spouting legal rhetoric."

"Why keep someone like that around for the New Year?"

Li Jin'er was stunned.

Then, tears actually fell from her eyes.

That's not a very pleasant thing to say.

It's not some grand principle.

But she felt particularly reassured listening to it.

Lin Xuan didn't mention that she was destined for greatness.

It didn't say who she was destined to be with.

It wasn't mentioned that saving her was for the sake of all living beings.

He simply said that he disliked Li Jing.

This reassured her more than any sweet words.

Outside the spaceship, starlight flowed.

The laws of creation in Lin Xuan's palm slowly retracted.

The essence of metal and water within Li Jin'er's body has stabilized to a large extent.

She looked down at her hands.

The tiny golden cracks that were originally caused by the pagoda's vibrations have disappeared.

The water elemental energy flowed through her meridians again, making her feel sleepy.

A system notification sounded.

【Ding! 】

[Li Jin'er's initial fear has been calmed.]

[Affection level increased by 10.]

[Current favorability: 80. 】

Lin Xuan remained calm.

This little mouse is actually very easy to coax.

Full.

Don't scare her.

Give me a little more sense of security.

She would then give away all that soft, tender trust.

Li Jin'er wiped her eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.

Am I a complete loser?

Lin Xuan handed her a glass of spiritual juice.

"It's a great achievement to survive."

"In this primordial world, crying isn't the point."

"After you've cried, who would dare to bully you?"

Li Jin'er took the cup, held it with both hands, and took a sip.

The sweetness spread across the tip of the tongue in an instant.

Her eyes lit up.

"This tastes good too."

Lin Xuan nodded.

"There are even better ones at home."

Li Jin'er asked softly, "What's your home like?"

Lin Xuan thought for a moment.

"It's quite noisy."

"Many children, many things, and many rules."

"But there is one good thing."

"Once you're in my house, no one can just use a tower to crush you."

Li Jin'er hugged the cup tightly.

She felt a little flustered.

I'm also looking forward to it.

Trapped Mountain is where she was born.

But now all that remains there are the drained ley lines and the shadow of the pagoda left by Li Jing.

She followed Lin Xuan, not knowing what lay ahead.

But if she stayed in Trapped Mountain, she would be captured again sooner or later.

Lin Xuan noticed her hesitation.

"Are you worried my family will think you stole incense and candles?"

Li Jin'er blushed slightly.

"Um."

Lin Xuan said very seriously, "Don't worry."

"My kid is way more professional at stealing (raiding) than you are."

Li Jin'er: "..."

These words left her unsure whether to feel at ease or not.

Lin Xuan raised his hand, and the space in front of the flying boat slowly cracked open.

An aura emanated from the direction of the Pangu Palace.

A rich blend of spiritual energy, medicinal aromas, milky fragrances, the smell of hot pot, and an indescribable lively, bustling atmosphere all rushed into the flying boat.

Li Jin'er's nose twitched.

She had never smelled such a complex yet reassuring scent before.

Lin Xuan stood up.

"Walk."

"Let me take you home for a proper meal first."

Li Jin'er held the cup and nodded gently.

Before the starship plunged into the spatial rift, she suddenly looked up and asked, "Lin Xuan, am I really not going to have to steal incense candles anymore?"

Lin Xuan turned to look at her.

"Need not."

"Tell me what you want to eat next time."

Li Jin'er's eyes welled up with tears again.

The next moment, the flying boat tore through the void and headed straight for the Pangu Palace on Mount Buzhou.

Lin Xuan raised his hand and placed it on the flying boat array plate, whispering, "Go home."
