“Squeak!” The door opened and a cold breeze blew in. It was already dark. Liu Jingjing was standing at the door with a food box in her hand.

“I guess you must have fallen asleep again and didn’t come to eat. Here, I brought you something to eat.”

“Thank you, Miss Liu’er.”

Xiao Chen took the food box that she had handed him. At this time, he did not have the mood to eat, but it did not go against her good intentions. He immediately took it into the room and ate some casually.

Liu Jingjing sat opposite him with her hands on her chest and looked at him motionlessly. After a while, she asked, “Ah Tian, have you remembered anything during this period of time?”

“Huh?”

Hearing her suddenly ask this question, Xiao Chen put down the chopsticks in his hand and shook his head in the end, “I still can’t remember anything …”

Liu Jingjing frowned and looked at him, “But these days, you are always in a trance. Sometimes, you fall asleep during the day. Everyone is worried … Otherwise, I’ll ask father to prescribe you some medication to calm your mind.”

Just as he was speaking, two footsteps suddenly came from outside, followed by Cai Wei and Sun Xiaohou’s voices, “Sister Liu’er, Brother Xia Tian, come out quickly!”

Hearing that, Xiao Chen and Liu Jingjing walked out, “What’s wrong?”

Cai Wei smiled and said, “The bonfire will begin! Big sister Liu’er, big brother Xia Tian, come quickly!”

“Ah …”

Liu Jingjing gently covered her mouth and said, “I have forgotten that there is a bonfire party in the village today, June 15. I wish a good harvest this autumn …”

“Hehe! Come on!”

Cai Wei and Sun Xiaohou pulled the two of them and ran into the village dam. At that time, there was a huge bonfire in the middle of the dam. There were already many people outside, drinking wheat wine, singing yangko and dancing …

“Ah Tian, come on!”

Reflecting the flames, Liu Jingjing’s smile was as bright as clouds. Xiao Chen looked at the campfire in the dam and said somewhat embarrassedly, “But I can’t dance …”

“It doesn’t matter!”

Liu Jingjing grabbed his hand and ran towards the middle of the dam. Everyone held hands and formed a circle around the campfire, singing and dancing.

Xiao Chen’s initial strangeness gradually became familiar, and he gradually forgot about the dreams of the past few days. The sky was filled with stars, the people in the dam were singing and dancing, and the fireflies on the edge of the field slowly formed into the most simple and unadorned painting in the world.

“Oh! Go to the fields to catch fireflies!”

At the end of the campfire, the children scattered and ran out of the village with their veils. They ran to the edge of the fields and bushes, startling the sky with fireflies, like stars in the sky.

“Ah Tian, Ah Tian, let’s go too!” Liu Jingjing smiled like a flower as she pulled Xiao Chen to the edge of the field outside the village.

But seeing fireflies dancing all over the fields, there were also the laughter of children, and of course, there were also some young men and women.

This small mountain village was not like the Silver Candle Autumn Light Cold Painting Screen in the palaces and courtyards of those large cities. What was present here was a kind of simplicity and truthfulness in the mortal world.

“Ah Tian, Ah Tian, look, I caught a lot of fireflies …”

Liu Jingjing clutched her hands and ran over, but seeing that her face was covered in fine beads of sweat and the hair on her ear was also on her cheek, she clutched her hands tightly and said with a smile, “Come closer, or they will fly away.”

“Alright …”

Xiao Chen leaned closer. Liu Jingjing released her hands, but no fireflies flew out. Instead, a beetle flew towards his face.

“Ah! This, what is this … ah … quickly take it away …”

“Hahahaha …”

…

“Ah Tian, let’s go to the mountains to see the stars.”

“Alright …”

The night was slightly cold. The two of them went to the roof of the mountain. There were no houses or trees to hide here. The entire bright starry sky entered their eyes.

The two of them sat on the rock. Liu Jingjing raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky with a smile on her face. “When I was young, mother told me that if a relative died, they would turn into stars and stay by our side. Ah Tian, look at that star. Isn’t mother looking at us in the sky?”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly and asked, “Your mother, how did she …”

Liu Jingjing still had a smile on her face. She stared at the star in the sky motionlessly. In the end, her smile slowly disappeared. She said, “Mother’s body has never been very good, especially after she gave birth to me. She has become thinner and thinner. In the end, when I was eight years old, she passed away …”

‘”I still remember the day my mother passed away, my father collapsed and pounced on my mother. He just kept crying and saying,’ Xiu’er, Xiu’er, I can save everyone, but why can’t I save you alone? No matter how skilled I am in medicine, what’s the use? I might as well die.”

“Ever since then, Daddy has rarely laughed again. Every time it comes to Mother’s Death Day, he always stays in his room alone. The next day, I see his red and swollen eyes …”

Hearing her speak quietly, Xiao Chen thought to himself, ‘So Doctor Liu is also such an infatuated person …’

Liu Jingjing turned around and looked at him. “There are always too many deaths in the human world, and the lives of mortals are always very fragile and short. It’s just like the plague that occurred in several villages across the river not long ago. Many people died.”

Xiao Chen said, “Life and death parting is like helplessness.”

“But do you know?”

At this time, Liu Jingjing frowned and said, “When the plague spread to the town, there were actually people who raised prices at this time. There were also people who sold fake medicines to make a fortune. There were even people who forcefully buried other people’s cats and dogs alive while they were away from home, but cats and dogs were not contagious at all …”

Xiao Chen shook his head, “How ridiculous and stupid.”

“That’s right. What’s even more terrifying is that not only did they not feel a trace of guilt afterwards, they even felt that they deserved it …”

Liu Jingjing frowned. She shook her head and sighed, “The scary thing is not the plague, but the human nature that was corroded by the plague bit by bit and finally completely disappeared. It became selfish, ugly, ignorant, vicious … The plague will always pass, but the eroded people will lose their humanity and will never be able to return. Even if they are able to recover, they will not be able to save them …”

The night slowly became heavy. Seeing Xiao Chen’s heavy expression, Liu Jingjing said, “Alright, Brother Ah Tian, let’s not talk about these outrageous things …” With that, she smiled and said, “Do you think the moon is beautiful tonight?”

At fifteen, Moon was like a wash, and on the two of them was a layer of light gauze.

Xiao Chen nodded lightly. After a while, Liu Jingjing said, “Ah Tian, when you remember the past, are you going to leave?”

Xiao Chen turned around and a gust of cold wind blew down from the mountain. However, he happened to see her pair of watery eyes looking at him under the moonlight, as if they were filled with affection.

“I don’t know …”

Xiao Chen turned his head back and looked at the dimly lit village at the foot of the mountain. The past two months of mortal life seemed to have caused his mood to gradually change bit by bit, even though he still couldn’t remember anything about the past.

Liu Jingjing looked at him motionlessly and said, “In winter, it will snow. At that time, the surface of the river will be frozen and the mountains will be covered in silver. It will also be very beautiful. At that time, will we come here again and watch the heavy snowfall together?”

“Is it snowing heavily … Alright, I want to see it too. It’s snowing heavily.”

Xiao Chen stared motionlessly at the quiet village under the night sky. Liu Jingjing smiled and said, “Ah Tian, did you know that there is actually another name for the snowflakes? It’s called the Wei Yang Flower … There are five more plants in this world and six only snowflakes …”

“Wei Yang Hua … Uh!”

Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt an intense pain in his brain. At this moment, a familiar and unfamiliar voice sounded in his ears.

“Remember my name, my name is Hua Weiyang …”

“A long, long time later, when you see the heavy snowfall, will you still remember that girl called Hua Weiyang …”

“In the future, we will no longer care about the disturbances in this world. At that time, I will accompany you to see all the flowers blooming and falling in this world, okay?”

“Ah … Ah!”

Xiao Chen covered his head with both of his hands. Suddenly, a headache broke out and he kept rolling on the ground. Liu Jingjing was frightened and immediately pressed down on him, “Ah Tian! Ah Tian! What’s wrong with you … Ah Tian! Ah Tian! Don’t scare me, Ah Tian, what’s wrong with you …”

…

The next morning, Xiao Chen woke up slowly and turned around. Liu Jingjing stayed in his room all night without closing her eyes. When she saw him wake up, she immediately walked over with water and said, “Ah Tian, you’re awake!”

“I, I… What’s wrong with me?”

Xiao Chen rubbed his forehead. Why did he wake up early in the morning with such a headache, but he couldn’t remember at all what happened last night …

“Last night in Room Rock, you suddenly fainted …”

“Suddenly fainted …”

“What do you think now?”

“It’s okay, I made you worry.”

…

Time passed in a hurry, and there were no traces of sunlight. In the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed. Early winter was approaching, and there was a trace of coldness outside at the end of autumn.

It had already been half a year since Xiao Chen arrived at the Ancient River Village. Even today, he still couldn’t remember anything from the past. In the past three months, Zhao Dahu hadn’t come looking for trouble. The Zi Yi people seemed to have disappeared since that day.

At this time, in Lustless Heaven.

“How is it? Have you heard from Excellency?”

Inside the palace, Hua Weiyang’s eyebrows furrowed. Xiao Chen had been missing for half a year, and he had searched everywhere, but there was not a single clue.

Bai Luan and Zi Yuan lowered their heads. In the past, with Night Shade’s ability, it wasn’t difficult to find a person, but this time, they searched almost everywhere and couldn’t find Xiao Chen’s shadow.

After a while, Bai Luan raised his head and said with a frown, “Heavenless Palace of Zi Weisi seems to have disappeared with Excellency. There has been no news of him yet.”

“What exactly is going on? Why can’t even the jade paper sense it this time …”

Hua Weiyang’s eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. Xiao Chen had disappeared for half a year, and there had never been a precedent in the past. Moreover, she had kept this matter a secret, so no one could know about it anymore.

The current situation in the world is unpredictable. Lustless Heaven is being watched by countless forces. The sects of the Xianyuan Five Realms Righteous Dao, the Heavenly Gate, Spirit Ruins Realm, Heavenless Palace, and those mysterious forces that have yet to emerge, as well as the Four Seas and Eight Desolates …

If anyone found out that Xiao Chen had disappeared, they would probably make a move, causing chaos. Therefore, she had always been disguised as Xiao Chen to stabilize the situation during this period of time.

However, she didn’t know how much longer she could hold on like this. Some of the foreign cultivation forces that were peeping into the darkness seemed to be eager to move towards Lustless Heaven.
