LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Zhang the Butcher’s home was at the entrance of the village.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After hastily escaping from his senior sister’s place, Lin Wuming made his way in that direction.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Along the way, the scenery was as peaceful as always.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Villagers in simple clothes moved back and forth.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Street vendors shouted to advertise their wares.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Passing by a teahouse, a few casually dressed old men sat chatting boastfully about their younger days.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In a modest cosmetics shop, vibrant young girls and elegant older women carefully selected makeup.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
To Lin Wuming, such honest and simple scenes were more comforting than the bustling cities.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That’s also why he had stayed in this remote village for nearly a year.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Maybe it was the effects of transmigrating, but after arriving, his mind had become sharper.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It only took him half a year to master his senior sister’s zither(a stringed musical instrument) skills.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Since then, he occasionally performed at teahouses and similar venues to earn some appearance fees.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His exceptional playing quickly earned him a reputation, and he had managed to save up a modest sum.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Honestly, if someone asked him to leave now, he would actually feel reluctant.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After all, the world outside was dangerous—unlike here, where everyone was a “newbie.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It just felt relaxing.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He bought a sugar sculpture shaped like a little rabbit from a roadside stall, holding it in his hand as he walked straight to Zhang the Butcher’s home.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Zither Master Lin, you’re here!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As soon as he knocked, Zhang the Butcher greeted him warmly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Normally rough and informal, he still tried to speak more refinedly in front of the scholarly Lin Wuming, affected perhaps by Lin’s elegant and cultured aura.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“How’s the girl?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Lin Wuming nodded in greeting, then got straight to the point.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Well…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Zhang the Butcher’s face darkened slightly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He shook his head with a sigh.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Not good. She hasn’t spoken a word, and no one knows what she’s thinking. At first, she ate a little, but now she won’t even eat. She just sits on the bed in a daze all day, doing nothing… or maybe she’s simply incapable of doing anything.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Lin Wuming nodded—after all, with her meridians shattered and her legs and eyes ruined, what could she possibly do?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Zither Master Lin, please go see her. Try to think of something… or this child… might not live much longer.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Zhang the Butcher said with a complicated expression.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If it weren’t for the suppression of heavenly law that completely blocked the use of spiritual power, the village’s apothecary, Master Ma, could’ve healed her with a snap of his fingers.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But now…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This girl, like Lin Wuming, had accidentally wandered in from the outside world.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Though unlike Lin Wuming—who had entered the village in his mortal body unharmed—she had been gravely injured and had still somehow made it through the Forest of Heavenly Dao before passing out.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That alone was extraordinary.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She must have been a top genius in the outside world.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What a pity she had now become a cripple.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With Zhang the Butcher’s experience, he could tell she had already given up on life.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But letting her die like this was still a shame.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Perhaps letting her become the disciple of that little fox girl would be good for her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She could learn the zither and live a peaceful life here.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After all, this place—the forbidden land of the Heavenly Dao—was hard to enter, but even harder to leave…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That little girl next door, also surnamed Zhang, didn’t believe in that.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She tried to escape a few days ago and had just barely stepped out of the Forest of Heavenly Dao when her internal organs were destroyed and her soul heavily damaged.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If she hadn’t been fairly strong, she would’ve died on the spot.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Now, without spiritual power, her injuries would likely take hundreds of years to heal.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thinking of this, Zhang the Butcher smiled wryly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
They were all too young.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Everyone in this village had once been a prodigy of their time, dazzling talents.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That once-invincible Dragon General, whose legendary name echoed through the ages, had already lived in this village for 30,000 years—still with no way out.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He could only watch himself slowly grow old, listening to newcomers speak of the rise and fall of empires.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If there was to be a turning point…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Zhang the Butcher narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Wuming, who was just now pushing open a door to go inside.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It could only be that Zither Master Lin, who had entered this forbidden land as a mortal—and the little fox girl who had followed him in.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Would he be able to leave?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Zhang had a feeling that the little fox girl definitely knew something… but since she refused to speak, there was nothing to be done.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After all, she was the only one in the entire village who could still use spiritual power.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Everything unprecedented was centered on this Lin Wuming…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He let out a sigh and stopped thinking about it.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After all, he had already lived here for thousands of years.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Old friends had withered away, the mortal world changed over and over—he had grown indifferent.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Whether he could leave or not no longer mattered.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He might as well go find Old Li and have a drink.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Zhang the Butcher turned and left.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At that moment, Lin Wuming had already entered the room and saw his future junior disciple.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her exquisitely beautiful face was just as stunning as his senior sister’s.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She sat quietly on the edge of the bed in elegant clothing, like a delicate statue.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even after hearing the door open, she remained unresponsive, her expression still blank.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Until a trace of sweetness slowly bloomed across her lips.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She paused, subconsciously licking it.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Candy?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“The bunny’s ears are going to get eaten~”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A gentle, jade-like voice rang in her ear. It sounded familiar—he had visited a few days ago too.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He Yingying’s expression faded back into indifference.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What did it matter who it was?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She was already a cripple, with no thought beyond death.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Here, take the candy.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That voice continued to bother her, making He Yingying frown.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then she felt a warm hand wrap around hers, placing a sugar stick in her grasp.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her whole body trembled—she instinctively tried to pull away, but with her shattered meridians, even a small movement brought searing pain.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Lin Wuming gently wiped the sweat from her brow and said softly:
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“With your body like this… what else can you even do?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He Yingying bit her lip, her heart flaring up in anger—only to quickly be swallowed by sorrow.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yes… what else can she do?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She was nothing but a wreck.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She couldn’t protect her mother concubine.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If she died, it would only bring her mother grief.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“How about learning the zither from my senior sister?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Lin Wuming gently offered.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You can play gentle tunes—it doesn’t require much movement…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Still, He Yingying said nothing, her face was stiff.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“My senior sister is really kind… and a master of the zither…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Seeing her still unmoved, Lin Wuming grew a bit anxious.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If she refused to be his junior sister, his whole plan would collapse—and that easily obtainable Creation Saint Dao Manual would vanish like smoke.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“How about this: I’ll play a song for you. Just listen, okay?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Lin Wuming always carried his zither with him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He immediately took it out from his pack.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His fingers gently brushed the strings, and a soft, soothing melody began to drift through the room…
