Fall: Rebirth

After Jin Ran returned to Chaoyang Palace, not only could she find no trace of Yuangu, she even didn't see the shadow of Feng Wan. After asking the divine servant, she got the answer that the two had gone out early in the morning and had not returned yet.

At this moment, Jin Ran could only sit alone in the yard in a daze.

"Jin Ran." Hill's relaxed and cheerful voice came at this time.

"Why are you here?" Jin Ran turned around and asked the other party in a very calm tone.

"Master fell asleep as soon as he returned to the palace. I had nothing to do, so I came to find you." Xier sat down next to Jin Ran while talking. Then he looked around and asked, "Where did the Ancient God go?"

Jin Ran propped her elbows on the stone table and held her chin with her hands. Her expression was very cold. She replied, "I asked the divine servants, and they said that Master went out with Feng Wan early this morning."

"It's okay, I'm here with you!" Hill's words were particularly gentle and his eyes were full of sincerity.

"Why did you come to see me?" Jin Ran did not make any unnecessary movements, but just glanced casually in Hill's direction.

"Look, what did I bring you?" Hill said with a mysterious and brilliant smile. He gently waved his sleeves, and in an instant, colorful and various shaped exquisite snacks appeared on the stone table.

"Where did you get so many pastries?" Jin Ran's eyes suddenly lit up and she stared at the delicious food in front of her, her eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

Hill smiled proudly, then lowered his voice and said, "Of course it's reserved for you."

Jin Ran couldn't help but raise her lips slightly when she heard what Xi'er said. She gently reached out her hand, carefully picked up a piece of cake, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, then put it into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and savored the wonderful taste.

Hill stared at Jin Ran intently, his eyes full of anticipation, and asked impatiently, "How does it taste?"

Jin Ran nodded, and said indistinctly with the cake in her mouth: "Hmm... delicious."

Seeing Jin Ran's satisfied expression, Xier also smiled happily. He quietly admired Jin Ran's cute look while she was enjoying the food, with endless tenderness in his eyes.

The breeze blew gently, and the hair on both sides of Hill's cheeks fluttered in the wind, as if adding a charming charm to his smile.

Then, he waved his fingers and poured a small stream of water into the teapot on the stone table. His movements were smooth and seamless. Then, he quickly filled a cup of fragrant tea for Jin Ran and whispered softly, "Eat slowly. Be careful not to choke."

Jin Ran understood what he meant, picked up the teacup, drank the tea in the cup without hesitation, and praised happily: "I didn't expect that the taste of this tea brewed with cold water is so unique."

Hill smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible shyness on his face, and explained softly: "Actually, I learned this tea-making skill from my master. She usually prefers to brew tea with cold water, and it is said that the ancient gods also have a special liking for cold-brewed tea."

"Speaking of Master, I really don't know where he has gone. Even Feng Wan has disappeared." Jin Ran muttered thoughtfully while chewing a piece of cake.

"Perhaps the God went out for something important." Hill responded softly to Jin Ran's words.

"Maybe it's true." Jin Ran responded calmly, but she could not hide the loneliness that flashed across her eyes.

"It's okay. You know everyone now, right? You can come to me when you're bored, or you can go to Chu Heng, Ling Han, and Yan Luo. By the way, you haven't been to the Chenchu ​​Palace of Qingli God yet, right?" Hill looked at Jin Ran seriously and asked, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"No." Jin Ran's answer was brief and straightforward.

"Come on, I'll take you there." Hill said as he reached out and grabbed Jin Ran's hand and ran out the door.

"Hey, wait...my pastries." Jin Ran was startled by Hill's sudden action, but she was reluctant to give up the remaining pastries and couldn't help but look back.

At the same time, Li Feng was seeing off his two senior brothers to the gate of the divine realm.

Due to numerous tasks, Yanlan and Minye could only return for a short time this time, and had to return to work immediately after a short stay.

"Junior brother, we are leaving, you should go back too." Yan Lan said softly to Li Feng. His voice was like a gentle breeze, blowing gently past Li Feng's ears.

"In that case, please take care of yourselves, senior brothers." Li Feng bowed respectfully to the two senior brothers, and then said seriously.

"Junior brother, take care of yourself too." Min Ye patted Li Feng's shoulder with a smile, his tone generous and open-minded.

After seeing his two senior brothers leave safely, Li Feng turned around and slowly walked in the direction they came from.

As soon as he walked near the Morning Palace, Li Feng felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if a sharp sword had pierced his heart. He then covered his chest in pain, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, like crystal pearls.

"Isn't that Li Feng?" Hill, who happened to be passing by, suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away. He showed a trace of doubt, and then his eyes fell on Ran next to Jin, and asked: "What's going on?"

Jin Ran and Xi'er looked at each other but did not say anything. Instead, they continued to look in the direction of Li Feng, their eyes also full of confusion and puzzlement.
