Firefly Journey

Chapter 363 Once a fleeting glimpse of beauty (3)

Wind Chime first heard the name Ario Morris in a small town in the duchy. At that time, she had followed Cassius to Torreg, wanting to find a quiet place to stay because of her own willfulness.

By a stroke of luck, she saw the few simple wooden houses after walking only a few steps.

Having been captivated by Anne of Green Gables since childhood, Feng Ling instantly fell in love with it; to her, it was like a scene from a dream.

Rent was not a problem; the Xu family had no shortage of funds. From that day on, the two met.

Fengling never expected that the owner of the house was an orphan, nor that he was different from most of his peers, nor that Cassius would take him as a student, and most unexpectedly, that he was also from Earth.

No wonder his speech and way of doing things were so out of step with the ancient world; it turned out there was foreshadowing all along.

Feng Ling was certain that the name Ario Morris would never appear in this world. If it did, it could only mean one thing: the person before her was the one bond she could never relinquish on the ancient continent.

"Love, Lover's Path".

The wind chimes trembled slightly, which was quite different from her usual demeanor. But when people are excited, they can become very unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that they themselves feel unfamiliar with themselves.

She could hear her own voice, and the wind chimes heard it too, to the point that she was surprised, surprised that she had ever spoken in that tone.

"A shimmering lake."

Lin Yuanran blurted out that during the days when he used the ancestral artifact to chat, these incantations had become muscle memory.

“Wind chimes?” he asked.

Fengling stared intently at Lin Yuanran, as if trying to see through him. Beneath his unfamiliar appearance lay a familiar soul, which made Fengling somewhat happy.

She didn't show it too much because the timing wasn't right.

She didn't want to appear too emotional in front of him, at least not now; that would be too embarrassing!

The empty, pale purple space gradually disappeared, revealing the outlines of the surrounding walls and making the figures clearer.

The two are now in reality.

Lin Yuanran frowned slightly; the other party's identity was becoming increasingly obvious, and he wanted to confirm it further. The purple space was clearly Feng Ling's creation, but why did she suddenly withdraw?

He was about to speak when Fengling spoke first.

"follow me."

After saying this, the wind chime that was standing by the door turned around and disappeared instantly.

Lin Yuanran seemed to understand a little. Indeed, matters between the two of them should be resolved by the two of them. There were too many people here, mostly ordinary people; even with the divine decree separating them, there was no need to stay any longer.

Lin Yuanran stood up and strode out.

Wu Jing wanted to call him, but he was too fast. By the time she realized what was happening, Lin Yuanran had already disappeared.

The people in the room were slow to realize what had just happened.

The Western girl who suddenly appeared was actually looking for someone? And the person she was looking for was Lin Yuanran, who looked quite poor?

No one had an answer, nor would they receive an explanation, because the two people who could give them an answer wouldn't care about the ant's surprise, nor would they need to tell them.

Of all the people, Han Yi was the one who understood best.

He could clearly feel that the small room had been placed under a spell, and everyone seemed to have been frozen for a while, during which time they had no memory of it.

Even though Han Yi was a cultivator of low cultivation level, he was still sensitive to magical power. He could easily tell from a fool that the changes in the room were the work of the two who had disappeared.

And he actually tried to lay a hand on that boy just now, what a joke!

The boy's skill level was definitely higher than his; faced with the provocation, he only retaliated slightly without taking his life.

Han Yi was no ordinary man. He was killed after being provoked. No matter what the other party did, it was all reasonable. Unexpectedly, the high-level cultivator was quite merciful and only gave him a light lesson.

Han Yi was filled with lingering fear. Luckily, he had met someone with a good temper; otherwise, he would have been finished today.

Feeling frightened, he began to seriously reflect on himself. It seems he should keep a low profile in the future, since he won't always be so lucky.

Lin Yuanran followed behind as he walked out of the Nanlou Hotel. As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Fengling's back. The girl wasn't walking fast, so he jogged a few steps to catch up with her.

"Wind chime? Are you a wind chime?" Lin Yuanran asked.

“To be precise, my name is Xu Penglong.” Feng Ling smiled calmly. “That’s not important. I find it very interesting that you are also a time traveler. How come I never noticed before?”

Feng Ling didn't directly answer Lin Yuanran's question, but her words implied certainty about it. Lin Yuanran was overjoyed, his facial muscles almost losing control.

Lin Yuanran forcibly suppressed his smile and said, "Can you tell me why you're here?"

According to Blawich, His hand cannot reach into other worlds, therefore those summoned are random and may not be on the same timeline.

But even He didn't expect that fate would be so wondrous; after many twists and turns, the two actually met.

If Fengling's appearance were on Earth, she would be considered a typical Westerner, whether in Europe, America, or Australia, all thousands of miles away from Great Xia. How did she manage to find her way here?

Lin Yuanran didn't believe it was just a chance encounter.

The wind chime snorted. Yes, she snorted.

The voice was very soft, not like anger, but rather smugness.

She said, "Because I'm smarter than you, I can get to the bottom of things from the smallest clues. Let me tell you about my experience."

Like Xu Penglong, Diana was a genius from a young age, with outstanding grades, the kind of child everyone admired.

Her parents, a lawyer and an artist, lived in a small town, but were often away from home due to their work.

Although the family has maids and nannies to take care of their daughter, they are not her parents after all, and they do not provide enough care in many aspects.

From then on, Diana developed a fear of the dark.

When Fengling told Lin Yuanran that she was afraid of the dark, she wasn't joking; she was referring to her past experiences.

However, after becoming a Holy Maiden of the Temple, she overcame this weakness by utilizing the characteristics of the Temple's professional path.

Feng Ling spoke slowly, like a storyteller controlling the audience's pace, recounting her experiences before and after the time travel.

The more engrossed Lin Yuanran was in listening, the more foolish he felt.

Many of Fengling's behaviors were completely unlike those of the indigenous people in the context of the ancient continent, and he couldn't even see it. What else could it be but stupidity?

As they walked and talked, Feng Ling and he walked across two streets in the blink of an eye.

"That's how it is. What I didn't expect was that you had changed so much. If I hadn't heard the girl next to you calling your name, we probably wouldn't have met so soon."

"I have nothing to do with her."

Wind Chime: "?"

Did I ask you?

Lin Yuanran regretted saying it as soon as he spoke. Feng Ling was simply stating the facts, but he was unusually sensitive and eager to show his "loyalty," which was rather inexplicable.

Lin Yuanran said, "This is what I look like on Earth, different from the Pan-Ancient Continent. But you, except for your eyes, are almost identical..."

Fengling said, "Perhaps I was just lucky; that little girl looks exactly like me. I've finished telling you my story; it's your turn. We need to exchange information."

Lin Yuanran nodded and began to recount his experiences without reservation.
