Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling were caught off guard and fell into a space-time rift, where a howling wind was like countless sharp blades flying in the air. The fierce wind mercilessly cut shocking scratches on their bodies.

However, at this critical moment, Zhang Qiling did not hesitate to hold Hua Yu tightly against his chest. He used his broad body to block most of the attacks, preventing Hua Yu from being seriously injured. Despite this, Hua Yu's face was inevitably left with a small scratch, but other than that, there was not even a trace of red marks on other parts of his body. It was just that his clothes became tattered after the ordeal, and it looked as if he had just rolled around on the ground in a mess.

In contrast, Zhang Qiling was not so lucky. As he was only concerned with protecting Hua Yu, Zhang Qiling was completely exposed to the raging wind of the space crack. His body was covered with deep and shallow wounds, crisscrossing each other, and blood kept pouring out of them, instantly dyeing his clothes red, and the whole person looked like a blood gourd. At this moment, his face was frighteningly pale, and his breath became extremely weak, as if he would faint at any time and his life was in danger.

Just as the two were falling rapidly and about to hit the ground heavily, suddenly, a red lotus as bright as blood and blazing with flames fell from the sky. It was like a gentle big hand, gently wrapping Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling in it. Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling were in the red lotus, and slowly fell to the ground with the red lotus.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Hua Yu finally slowly opened his heavy eyelids, and what came into view was the familiar and kind Karma Fire Red Lotus. This Red Lotus had accompanied him since he was a child, and seeing it again at this moment, Hua Yu couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement in his heart. However, when he looked aside, he found that Zhang Qiling, who had been protecting him, was lying there dying, his face as pale as paper.

In an instant, Hua Yu's mood was like a roller coaster, falling from the peak of excitement to the bottom of anxiety and self-blame. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and he sobbed and muttered to himself: "What should I do! It's all because I'm too weak that my brother has become like this..."

The red lotus seemed to feel Hua Yu's inner pain and anxiety. It gently stretched out a lotus petal and gently stroked the top of Hua Yu's head, as if silently comforting him and telling him not to be too anxious.

Hua Yu tried to calm down, and suddenly remembered that his personal space was filled with all kinds of precious treasures and elixirs. These treasures might be able to save Zhang Qiling's life! So, he subconsciously wanted to reach into the personal space to take out those life-saving treasures.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not take out even one natural treasure or one elixir from his portable space. Hua Yu was so anxious that his face turned red, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, but it was still useless. At this moment, when Hua Yu was desperately lying on Zhang Qiling and sobbing softly, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Are you injured? Do you need help?"

Hua Yu raised her head suddenly, and her sight was instantly attracted by the person in front of her. She saw that person had long hair that fell like a waterfall, and the hair color gradually changed from deep black to cold ice blue, as if the twinkling stars in the night sky blended with the polar glaciers. What was even more eye-catching was that there were two delicate, small, crystal clear dragon horns growing on both sides of his forehead, like the most exquisite works of art in the world. And the pair of eyes that were as blue and deep as the ocean were like a mysterious treasure with endless secrets. Just one glance would make people fall in love with it.

Looking at that face again, it is simply stunning. Under the high nose bridge, the lips are slightly upturned, revealing a faint smile, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, delicate and charming; the white and snow-white skin is even more delicate, exuding an innate noble temperament.

Hua Yu couldn't help but stare at him in a daze. He had never seen such a handsome man before. Even Er Yuehong, who was always famous for her beauty, seemed to be inferior to him. For a moment, he was completely immersed in the other person's charming face and even forgot to blink.

However, at this moment, the man frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the little cub in front of him, who was as pure and lovely as a lotus. Hua Yu was staring at him blankly with her head raised, holding another seriously injured cub tightly in her arms. The man's heart tightened, and he said quickly: "This cub is seriously injured. If it is not treated as soon as possible, it may be in danger of death. Where are your parents? Why are they not with you to take care of you?" After that, he stretched out his hand and wanted to take the injured cub from Hua Yu's hand.

However, when his fingertips just touched the cub in Hua Yu's arms, he suddenly felt a burning sensation. He subconsciously retracted his hand, and when he looked closely, he found that there was an illusory red lotus surrounding Hua Yu and the injured cub. The red lotus gave off a fiery light, protecting the two of them tightly. It was because he accidentally touched the edge of the red lotus that his finger was burned.

The man's face was filled with astonishment. He stared in disbelief at the red lotus that could actually burn him. He thought to himself, "This is the first time I've seen such a strange sight in my life..."

"Are you okay? Honglian really didn't do it on purpose!" Hua Yu looked at the person in front of him anxiously, his eyes full of concern and guilt. He stared nervously at the other person's finger that was burned by the flames released by Honglian, and saw that there were still a few wisps of flames dancing on it, as if unwilling to extinguish.

Hua Yu quickly stepped forward and explained: "It was just too worried that you would harm me, afraid that you would hurt me, so it attacked you subconsciously. Please don't blame it!" As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked Honglian, whispering softly as if he was comforting a frightened child: "Honglian, be good, take back the red flame that was left in my hand, okay?"

Honglian seemed to understand Hua Yu's words. The blazing flames gradually subsided, and finally turned into a thin red thread, which slowly returned to Honglian's body along the man's finger. At this moment, an amazing scene happened - when the flames completely disappeared, a brilliant blue light suddenly burst out from the man's fingertips!

This blue light was like the brightest star in the night sky, flashing a mysterious and charming brilliance. In the blink of an eye, the blue light quickly spread to the entire finger like a tide. Wherever it passed, the originally burned skin healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, without even a trace of scar left.

Seeing this magical scene, Hua Yu was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. The man just smiled slightly, shook his head gently and said: "It's okay, don't feel sorry for it. I guess this red lotus may be left to you by your parents on purpose, in order to protect your safety at the critical moment."

Hua Yu gently stroked the red lotus beside him, his eyes sparkling with pride, as if the red lotus was the most precious treasure in the world. He smiled and said in a clear voice: "This is my father's mount - the incarnation of the Karma Fire Red Lotus! When I was a child, I loved riding on its lotus platform and playing. That feeling was really wonderful!"

However, at this moment, Hua Yu seemed to suddenly remember something important, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by full of anxiety and worry. He widened his eyes, stared at the person in front of him, and pleaded anxiously: "Please, can you help me save my brother? Just now we accidentally broke into a mysterious secret room, and were teleported here by the powerful magic circle inside. In order to protect me from the wind in the space crack, my brother tried his best to block in front of me, and finally became like this..." As he spoke, Hua Yu's eyes gradually became moist, and tears rolled in his eyes.

The man looked in the direction of Hua Yu's finger and saw a little cub lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, looking very pitiful. Without saying a word, he strode forward, stretched out his hand and easily broke through the encirclement formed by the red lotus, and carefully held the little cub in his arms. Then, he gently raised his right hand and gently touched the little cub's forehead with his fingertips. In an instant, a thin and almost imperceptible light slowly stretched out from its forehead, like a smart silver snake. Then, the man accurately placed the light on Zhang Qiling, who was unconscious at the side.

A magical scene happened! In just a blink of an eye, the originally hideous and deep wounds on Zhang Qiling's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the cut places grew fresh skin again, as if they had never been injured. However, although the injuries on his body had completely recovered, Zhang Qiling still closed his eyes tightly, showing no sign of waking up.

"Thank you! I really don't know how to repay this kindness. By the way, I don't know your name. After I recover some of my spiritual power, I will be able to take out some treasures from the portable space that my father carefully refined for me and give them to you." Hua Yu stared at Zhang Qiling, whose wound had completely healed in front of him. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. Then he turned his gaze to the person who helped him, his eyes full of gratitude.

However, the man only smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Hua Yu's head: "Don't be so polite, little cub, I came to rescue you not because of your treasures. To be honest, I really can't bear to see anyone disappear in front of me so easily. Even if it is someone else but not you who is in danger today, I will certainly not stand idly by." After that, the man turned around without hesitation and pretended to leave.

Seeing this, Hua Yu hurriedly and carefully placed Zhang Qiling in the red lotus, then hurriedly ran out of the protective circle formed by the red lotus, stretched out her hand and tightly grabbed the corner of the man's clothes, and said in a tender voice: "Please wait a moment! I still don't know your name. My name is Hua Yu, my father is the Demon Ancestor Luohou, and my father is the Taoist Ancestor Hongjun. You saved me today, I am sure my father and father will be grateful to you. These are what you deserve, not for any other reason, just to thank you for your kind and benevolent heart."

The man turned around suddenly and looked at Hua Yu in astonishment, with a storm in his heart. According to the information he knew, Daozu and Mozu had always been incompatible, just like fire and water. Moreover, according to rumors, Mozu had already been killed by Daozu, turned to ashes, and completely disappeared from the world. However, at this moment, a child with the blood of both Daozu and Mozu appeared in front of him. This was really unbelievable!

"The Demon Ancestor and the Taoist Ancestor I'm talking about are not from the world you live in. In fact, we all came from another larger and more vast world." Hua Yu keenly noticed the deviation in the man's thinking and hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, the man let out a long sigh as if waking up from a dream, and his tense nerves relaxed a little: "I see... Oh, by the way, my name is Bingyi."

Hua Yu whispered the name twice, then suddenly raised her eyes, looked straight at Bing Yi, and said earnestly: "Right now, both of us have lost all our magic power, and we can't even open the space we carry with us. I wonder if you can be kind enough to take us in for a while? Don't worry, we will never bother you in vain. When my magic power is slightly restored, I will take out the items from the space as a reward."

Bingyi just smiled slightly when he heard that. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, soft and warm. "I've said it before. I'm here to help you, not to covet your things. You can stay at my place as long as you want. I'm just afraid that you might find the place too shabby."

Hua Yu quickly shook her head and said that she didn't have time to care about so many things now. She was lucky to have a place to live.

Bingyi brought Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling back to his residence.
