Chapter 135: The Outburst of the Butterfly Seal
He Lian was caught off guard and knocked to the ground by the silver light, and Lan You Rou and Mo Fei Bai, who were following behind him, thought it was an enemy sneak attack and quickly drew their blades and rushed over!
"Don't attack! This isn't an enemy!", Helianuo hastily shouted to stop them, although he hadn't had time to clearly see the silver light's appearance, but that feeling was all too familiar to him. After nearly ten years of daily interaction, regarding this silver light's identity, Helianuo could completely confirm it without even looking - it was the little wolf who had gone missing in the Blood Refining Tower!
Lan You Ruo and Mo Fei Bai were loudly stopped by He Lian Nu, hastily withdrawing the blades in their hands. The two curiously fixed their eyes on him, only to see that on He Lian Nu's body was a small wolf with a silvery coat, its eyes brimming with tears as it licked He Lian Nu's face with its tongue!
"Old buddy, you've made me search for you everywhere!", Helian's eyes also welled up with tears. Ever since they got separated from Xiao Lang in the Blood Refining Tower, he had been worried about his safety every moment. When he saw Lei Shuo and Sang Xiao earlier, he was still uneasy because Xiao Lang didn't appear together with them. Now that he saw Xiao Lang standing before him unscathed, how could he not be excited!
Nine years, not a long time to say, but in one's life, there are only a few nine-year periods. The emotions between Helian and Xiao Lang have been accumulated for nine years, and it is no longer as simple as ordinary friends. Two small lives grew up together, played together, hunted together, and even made mistakes together. In the days of living in the Youyue Forest, the two had never been separated. In Helian's subconscious mind, Xiao Lang's importance even surpassed Nan Hengyue and Helian Shang. On this continent, Xiao Lang is the bond that Helian cannot bear to cut off from his heart!
Gently stroking the little wolf's head, Helianuo's tears flowed straight into his mouth. The tears were bitter, but in his heart, he was extremely pleased. Although Helianuo had always been pursuing great power, the safety of friends and loved ones was what he cared about most.
The little wolf and Hellenor were excitedly hugging each other, while the package on Lan You's back suddenly moved, a round little head peeked out, seeing no one noticing it, it crawled out of the package with its whole body, creeping onto Lan You's shoulder to look around. When it saw the little wolf next to Hellenor, its eyes lit up, and it couldn't care about hiding its shape anymore, jumping down from Lan You's shoulder with a "thud" and rushing towards the little wolf!
"Huh? Ballball? Weren't you with your sister?", Lan You felt a weight on her shoulder, and subconsciously turned her head to see that the round and plump Ballball had already sprinted to Xiao Lang's side like lightning. Without saying a word, it jumped onto Xiao Lang's head, affectionately stroking his ears. Two big, shining eyes were filled with tears that kept welling up, and its mouth was chattering away, seemingly telling some sort of story.
"Ball? How did you end up here? Didn't I leave you in the care of Elder Lan Yu Zhu? How did you manage to run all the way here? Where's Jiu Bao?" Seeing Ball suddenly appear, He Lian Nu was also extremely surprised. Because Ball loved causing trouble, He Lian Nu feared that it would cause some kind of disturbance on the road and hinder their journey. So before they set off, she had specifically entrusted it to Lan Yu Zhu, but unexpectedly this little fellow somehow managed to follow them here.
Qiu Qiu put down Xiao Lang's ears, scratched his head awkwardly, and quickly jumped onto Lan You Ruo's body. He dug into the bundle for half a day, finally hugged the small Jiu Bao and jumped down, with an innocent face, putting Jiu Bao into He Lian Nuo's hands.
Not waiting for He Lian to scold the ball, the little wolf was excited and picked up Jiubao with its mouth, jumping up and running towards the depths of the courtyard. The ball naturally didn't want to fall behind, and at the moment when the little wolf got up and left, it had already tightly grasped the little wolf's tail. As the little wolf ran rapidly away, the ball was swinging back and forth on its tail like a swing, looking particularly comical.
Kerian's three great soul beasts have finally reunited after a brief separation!
"This little wolf has actually learned to cover for Ballball, the saying 'wolf in sheep's clothing' is really true! ", He Lianuo couldn't help but scratch his head and pat the dust off his body as he stood up. He knew that the little wolf was afraid of him scolding Ballball, so it suddenly ran away, but he didn't mind at all. The three little guys being able to get along with each other in such a friendly way was actually what He Lianuo had hoped to see.
"Helen, just now that... is the little wolf you mentioned to me before?", Lan You Ruo asked in a low voice with sparkling red heart in her eyes, believing that any girl would be powerless in front of those three lively little creatures!
"Oh, right, that's Xiao Lang, good guy, as soon as we met he gave me a big slap in the face, I don't know if I'm already half-crippled now......" He Lianuo smiled and shook his head, but there was no blame in his tone.
"Master, why don't you take a rest in the inner courtyard first? You've been rushing for several days and must be very tired!" Luo Fei helped He Lianuo brush off the dust on his clothes, speaking softly with a calm expression. In the eyes of these older generations, He Lianuo was not only the master of the house but also a younger generation who needed their care.
"Alright, after rushing for half a month, I'm exhausted and my waist and back ache. Chief Luo, you'd better treat us well today! Before Helian Nuo could respond, Mo Feibai took over with a familiar tone. He stretched his long body and made a sleeping gesture."
"No problem! Although the Duan Jin family is not wealthy, we can still afford to entertain a few noble guests without being too shabby. Come on, first take these two noble guests to bathe and change their clothes, and order the kitchen to bring out their best dishes. Today, I will hold a family feast!" Luo Fei laughed loudly and agreed, soon, a man and a woman from the Duan Jin tribe took Mo Fei Bai and Lan You Ruo to bathe, while He Lian Nuo was taken by Luo Fei and Luo Tian to the main hall. Lei Shuo and Sang Xiao knew that the three were going to discuss secrets, so they also found excuses to leave one after another.
"Young master, I don't know if you came to Tian Gong City just to pick up Lei Shuo and the others, or...", seeing that everyone else had already been sent away, Luo Fei got straight to the point, the Duan Jin clan had waited for too long, he didn't want to waste another moment.
"Take away Lei Shuo, they are just the first destination of my trip. As for the second one, it has also been completed, which is to help you win the title of Divine Craftsman and announce the return of the Duan Jin clan. Of course, these are not my main goals! ", He Lian Nu tilted his head and poured a cup of tea into his stomach, he was extremely tired from the long journey and didn't even care about the taste of the tea, directly gulping it down to quench his thirst.
"So... Lord, your main goal is...", Luo Fei's heart was lifted up, and Luo Tian on the side also had a tense face. They were both very clear that although the return of the Duan Jin clan today was very glorious, their power had been weakened after hundreds of years of decline. Although there was no power in the mortal world that could threaten them, once the news of Duan Jin's resurgence spread to the Soul Realm, countless people would come to snatch the Five Treasures. At that time, they might not even have the power to protect themselves, let alone help Huan Lian achieve his revival. In this situation, Huan Lian's plan for the future of the Duan Jin clan was extremely crucial.
"This trip of mine is primarily for one purpose, to bring the Duan Jin clan back to the Soul Realm!", He Lianuo put down the teacup in his hand and stood up solemnly. "Luo Fei Clan Leader, Luo Tian Elder, although the Duan Jin clan has fallen into the mortal world for over a hundred years, the glory of He Lian's five divisions is still radiant. Look at your current state, a legendary family that was once renowned for its grandeur, now humbled in this remote and simple corner. As the leader of the clan, you have to feel embarrassed about hosting just a few guests. Although I know it's because of the sacrifices He Lian made, seeing the Duan Jin clan's current situation still pains me deeply. Since the Duan Jin clan has announced its return, there is no need for further endurance. You have been low-key for too long, it's time to reclaim your former glory! Two seniors, He Lian has already begun planning to return to the Soul Realm. If you still have that ambition, come with me back to the Soul Realm! This small casting city is not a place where you should be content!" By the end of his speech, He Lianuo's emotions became somewhat agitated, and he tightly grasped Luo Fei's arm, disregarding the injury on his left arm.
"Master, we've been waiting for you to say that! This small casting city has already become tedious to us. What's the name of a divine craftsman or a family of masters compared to returning to the Soul Realm? We are the subordinates of the He Lian clan, and since He Lian wants to return to the Soul Realm to revive, we naturally have no choice but to follow him. The entire Duan Jin clan, 500 people, will all be at your disposal, Master!", Luo Fei laughed loudly and gave his answer without hesitation. Since He Lian had already included the future of the Duan Jin clan in the plan for the revival of the He Lian clan, they naturally wouldn't have any objections.
"Great! With you all supporting me from behind, the revival of the Xianbei tribe is truly just around the corner!", Helian Nuo excitedly slapped the table and then clutched his wrist in pain.
"Master, what's wrong? Was it Tie Nan's Iron Fist that injured you?" Luo Fei anxiously asked aloud.
"Not... that... butterfly...", Helianthus turned his head, using his teeth to tear off the sleeve of his left arm with great effort. On the upper half of his left arm, a small butterfly mark was faintly emitting seven-colored light!
