Long Xiaoyu appeared in the room almost instantly.

The little woman on the bed seemed to be having a terrible nightmare. Tears kept falling from the corners of her closed eyes, her whole body was tense, and her hands were tightly clutching the position of her left chest, looking so painful and helpless.

Seeing such a scene, Long Xiaoyu's heart trembled. He rushed to the bedside in a hurry, hugged her into his arms, and patted her face with his hand: "Mumu! Mumu...!"

Long Xiaoyu called the person in his arms several times, but she didn't respond.

She seemed to be in danger in the dark, no matter how dark her hands were, she couldn't grasp the straw that could save her life, Long Xiaoyu subconsciously stretched out her hand to her.

When she touched his hand, it was as if she had touched a leaf of duckweed in the darkness of the abyss, and immediately hugged his arm tightly with both hands on a conditioned reflex, and at the same time, she spat out a few words with a little crying sound from her mouth.

The sound she spit out was not loud, and it was still a little indistinct.

Long Xiaoyu stretched out his other hand to wipe away the tears that kept falling from the corners of her eyes, and was about to speak to comfort her and wake her up again, but he caught two clear words from her broken pronunciation.

— Mother!

Long Xiaoyu was still wiping her tears for a moment, his dark eyes dimmed slightly, he pursed his thin lips lightly, without making another sound, he directly put his hand on her left chest.

There was a halo in the palm, and a gentle force penetrated into her body flickeringly, as if it was soothing her empty and restless heart with utmost gentleness.

After quite a while, Mu Ziling, who had been sleeping all this time, gradually calmed down her anxiety. Her wet eyelashes trembled twice before slowly opening her eyes.

For some reason, seeing Long Xiaoyu for the first time, Mu Ziling's bewildered eyes, which still had a hint of panic, were suddenly covered with mist again.

As if escaping from the dead, the indescribable sour feeling suddenly came to the apex of my heart when I saw my beloved.

The mist blurred her eyes, and she was afraid that the him in front of her would disappear, so she blinked hurriedly, squeezing the mist from her eyes to the corners of her eyes, and the him in front of her eyes became clear again.

Long Xiaoyu gently wiped away the teardrops from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, then hugged her tightly again, and comforted her softly: "It's just a dream, it's okay, just wake up, it's okay..."

His gentle voice continued to be heard in her ears, but Mu Ziling still felt that it was unreal. She stared at him without blinking for a long time before uttering a word in a hoarse voice: "Thirst~"

"Wait, I'll pour water." Long Xiaoyu asked Mu Ziling to lean against the head of the bed, got up and poured water.

When he turned back, Mu Ziling was opening the sleeve of his left arm, staring at the star imprint on it as if in a daze, with various complex emotions showing in his eyes.

Long Xiaoyu glanced at the star mark with deep eyes, and then handed the water glass to her mouth: "Come on, drink water...don't worry, drink slowly..."

In the past, no matter what kind of dream Mu Ziling had, good or bad, as long as she woke up from the dream, as long as Long Xiaoyu was by her side, she would take the initiative to share it with him immediately, but at this moment, she seemed to be in shock, and she was surprisingly quiet.

It was so quiet that Long Xiaoyu served her three glasses of water, but she didn't even have the intention to speak.

Long Xiaoyu knew that this little woman must be because of Su Yin, and recalled some bad things in his childhood, seeing that she was really frightened by that nightmare, he couldn't bear it, and didn't ask any more questions.

Long Xiaoyu sat by the bed, hugged Mu Ziling into his arms: "It's still early, sleep a little longer, I'll accompany you...don't think about it, huh?"

Mu Ziling's negative emotions brought about by the dream had already been wiped away by Long Xiaoyu's soft waves. She nodded lightly, then found a comfortable position in his arms and closed her eyes, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Just like the childhood dream she had dreamed before, Mu Ziling knew very well that the dream just now was part of her childhood memory. Although she didn't directly dream about what happened before the scene in the dream, Bai Yixue had said before... A woman broke into Mu's residence, and Mu Ziye bit a piece of that person's body. Now that woman can be sure to be Su Yin, and it was Su Yin who forced the Mu family into such a bleak state.

The reason for the changes in the Mu family had already been revealed in the dream just now. Mu Ziling didn't worry too much about the unchangeable things. What made her tangled up was the voice that suddenly appeared at the end of the dream, enough to make her feel palpitations.

As soon as the baby comes out, the stars die... Is this sentence true or false? Is it also a thing of the past? Or... the future?

The room fell into a long silence.

I don't know how much time has passed——

"Will the stars be destroyed?" Mu Ziling, who had only said one word since waking up from the nightmare, suddenly uttered.

Her question was a bit nonsensical, as if she was immersed in her thoughts, and then she uttered it to herself without realizing it, her voice was so small that only she could hear it.

However, Long Xiaoyu, whose hearing ability is beyond ordinary people, clearly read her weak words into his ears, and then gave her an affirmative and serious answer almost at the moment when her last words fell: "No."

These two simple words seem to have given Mu Ziling great comfort in her heart. She opened her eyes, glanced at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, and then looked up at Long Xiaoyu: "Shall we go back to the imperial city? I want to see Li Enniang."

Long Xiaoyu lowered his eyes, stared at Mu Ziling's quiet and beautiful face for a long time, and then replied slowly: "Okay."

It wasn't until Long Xiaoyu finished speaking that suddenly he frowned slightly, and looked towards the window lattice.

Noticing his strange expression, Mu Ziling sat up suddenly: "Why—"

Before she could finish her question, she saw a lavender afterimage floating in from outside the half-opened window lattice.

Mu Ziling subconsciously thought that there was another sneak attack by foreign enemies, and immediately became vigilant.

One must know that during the seemingly pleasant days in Zhongjun City, not counting the sneak attack they encountered when they first came, there were two waves of the same hidden weapon killers after that, but Bai Xiaosheng had consciously planted several more batches of eyeliner inside and outside Zhongjun City in order to collect the materials for refining his exclusive weapon Feng Ling.

Hence, those poor killers, no matter how deep they hid, as long as they appear in Zhongjun City, where Bai Xiaosheng can cover the sky with one hand, they cannot escape the fate of being killed for no reason, and they will be searched clean after death.

At the moment when Mu Ziling was vigilant, the lavender afterimage did not attack them, but was suspended in mid-air.

"Jacaranda?!" Recognizing the vivid lavender flower in mid-air at a glance, Mu Ziling almost subconsciously rushed out of bed and poked his head out of the window.

It was a gray area outside, not to mention people, there was not even a little sign of trouble.

Seeing that Mu Ziling seemed to be expecting someone to appear, he was so excited that half of his body was about to get out of the window, Long Xiaoyu's face darkened, and he reminded with a snort: "This jacaranda is just a messenger of the same nature as Yudie, there is no one outside, so don't look."

It turns out that the jacaranda is a messenger? She thought it was Li Zhan who came.

Mu Ziling retracted her head with a depressed face, then went to take down the jacaranda that was still floating in the air.

I saw that under the touch of her hand, the jacaranda flower spread out in the shape of a specimen, and then a circle of tiny characters appeared on the petals.

Mu Ziling stared at the simple and easy-to-understand small words for a few seconds before opening her mouth in surprise and joy: "I... my Li Enniang woke up, woke up, she woke up."

Unexpectedly, just now she had mentioned that she was going to see Li En's mother, but now she actually received the news of her waking up.

Mu Ziling couldn't help looking at Long Xiaoyu, but she directly met his dark face, she couldn't help but wondered: "Why do you look like this—"

Before the last word "I" was uttered, Mu Ziling suddenly realized something, and she immediately said: "The person who used this jacaranda to send a message to me is Li Zhan, and you know Li Zhan, the one who was in the Central Prosperity back then..."

"Huh?" Seeing that she didn't speak directly to the point, Long Xiaoyu made a dangerous nasal sound.

Mu Ziling's voice became hoarse, and he was about to bow down to the monster in front of him. Which eye did he see that she had something to hide?

In the end, under the gaze of Long Xiaoyu's deep eyes that seemed to be able to read people's hearts, Mu Ziling curled her lips extremely depressed: "Li Zhan and Li En, these two names are connected...you should be able to guess who he is without me telling you, he is my little uncle, and also... Li Xinyuan."

-

The news of Li En's waking up was undoubtedly a surprise to Mu Ziling, but after the surprise, her mood turned into deep worry, and she couldn't wait to go back to the Meditation Garden to see her.

Not for anything else, but because of the real dream last night, because of Su Yin...Mu Ziling couldn't imagine that if Su Yin knew that Li Enniang, who had been sleeping for more than ten years, had woken up, would the same things happen again?

...

Although they had already bid farewell once, but when the three of Mu Ziling were about to leave, Bai Xiaosheng still came over to bid them farewell.

Not only Bai Xiaosheng was seeing off this time, but also the proprietress of Fengyuejian, Qiu Zhirou, whom Mu Ziling had only met once from beginning to end, but who was already familiar to her.

Qiu Zhirou seemed to be very reluctant to part with the Martian girl, not only personally prepared a large bag for her, but also nagged and told her many things.

"Auntie Xiaorou, I know all about it. You've been telling me all night, haven't you finished yet?" The Martian girl yawned pretending to be sleepy, and said lazily, "If you keep talking, I'll be touched. You know, I can't help but want to hug you when I'm moved."

Hearing this, Qiu Zhirou, who had a slightly sad and worried face, jumped three steps away, and said in a reproachful way: "You little ancestor, you still don't forget to torment me before you leave, don't you?"
