Chu Chen ran to the lake, sat on the shore, hugged his legs and cried. When the breeze blew, a leaf fell from the tree, and the leaves fell on the calm lake, causing layers of ripples. The sound of birds around him stopped, and time seemed to be still, very quiet... A small water elf suddenly appeared in the water. He touched Chu Chen and said gently: "Is it very lonely?"

Chu Chen raised his head and saw that his feet were watery. He was shocked and even retreated.

"Do you want to go out and have fun?"

"But... they won't let me go out. And just now..."

The water elf smiled and said, "If you are unhappy, I'll take you out..."

The water elf stretched out his hand, Chu Chen hesitated for a while, and then carefully handed over it. Then the water on the lake surged, wrapping Chu Chen. Chu Chen closed his eyes and was swept into the water, and the water elf disappeared...

‘You can’t keep this uninformed child with that dangerous person…’

...

When Chu Chen opened his eyes, he found himself in the water, so he struggled to swim on the water surface. After reaching the water surface, he found himself in the small river in the forest. The water flow was not fast, and he easily returned to the shore. Chu Chen, who was wet on his body, looked around and stood in the uninhabited forest. Chu Chen was a little scared.

"It's just like this... Will he have a child..." Chu Chen was stunned for a while, and smiled sarcastically: "By the way... he already hates me... how could he pay attention to me again."

Chu Chen looked at the jade pendant in his hand, remembering that Baili had been shouting the name "Hua Luo" last night, and held the jade pendant in his hand until Baili felt the pain and let go. The jade pendant in his hand fell to the ground. Chu Chen picked it up and planned to give it to him today, but he angered Baili. Chu Chen looked at the object carefully. Although the jade pendant was small, the pattern was delicate. In addition, when he looked carefully, he also had the small words "Li Luo" engraved.

‘It’s their name, the person Baili cares about... is he the one he likes? I envy her so much... If...’ Chu Chen suddenly came to his senses, ‘How could I have such an idea...no.’

'hiss……'

Chu Chen suddenly turned around and saw a huge snake-shaped monster, which was very close to him. The giant snake quickly stretched out its tail and entangled Chu Chen. Chu Chen struggled, but the more he struggled, the more he was entangled.

"Don't...don't eat me..."

Chu Chen is not a godly follower, and he can't tell what level of monster it is. Only those above the purple level can understand human words. However, the giant snake in front of him is not a purple level monster. The giant snake opened its mouth and ate it to Chu Chen. Chu Chen closed his eyes. After a few seconds, Chu Chen did not feel the pain. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that the big snake was knocked down. Two godly followers stood in front of him...

"Such a coincidence, I saved this little girl." said a young man.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and dig crystals. Orange-level monsters are quite difficult to deal with."

Another god-fellow is a great man who looks like a vicious person. The young man came to Chu Chen, picked Chu Chen up from the snake's corpse, and then placed it on the ground, "I was scared?"

Chu Chen nodded, and the young man smiled, came to the head of the giant snake, took out the sword at his waist, took away the crystal stone from the giant snake's head, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. You are an ordinary child, don't run into the forest in the future."

The big man looked at Chu Chen's clothes, "I'm afraid he is a favored child from a wealthy family."

Then he stepped forward and took away the jade pendant tied to Chu Chen's waist. Chu Chen grabbed the corner of the man's clothes and pulled it, "Give me the jade pendant..."

"Give back the jade pendant to her, that's her thing." said the young man.

"Shut up." The big man looked at the small jade pendant, "It seems that it can be sold for a lot of money."

When Chu Chen heard that the jade pendant was about to be sold, he stretched out his small fist and kept hitting the person in front of him, "Can't sell it! Return the jade pendant to me!"

"That thing does not belong to you and cannot be snatched." The young man advised.

The big man used attack magic while the young man was not paying attention. The young man was unable to defend against the attack. The powerful impact force made him hit the tree trunk heavily and fell to the ground, with blood flowing from many parts of his body. The big man walked over and felt that the young man's breath was broken, and he said sarcastically: "The weak like to meddle in other people's business."

"You...kill him..."

Chu Chen stood there tremblingly. The big man walked to Chu Chen and hit her neck with his hand, causing Chu Chen to faint and was taken away.

...

The Imperial City of Hanling Kingdom—

Mo Xiuyi mobilized all the palace servants to search for Chu Chen in the imperial city. After searching for a long time, the report he had been waiting for was not found. Mo Xiuyi was very anxious, "Send someone to find it, and you must find it!"

"yes."

After the waiters were dispersed, Mo Xiuyi sat in the position of the king and pondered, "This time Hua Yuan obeyed Mrs. Zun's orders. Could it be that Mrs. Zun took something to persuade Hua Yuan? She came to perform the ceremony and continued to restrain Baili. Chu Chen is now unknown whereabouts... Could it be that Chu Chen is also involved? Chu Chen's previous life was her? No... she could not come back. Who was Chu Chen's previous life...'

On the other side, in the forest—

The wound on the young man gradually recovered. After a long time, the young man slowly supported his body and stood there like a normal person. The wounds were all restored, but the clothes were damaged and blood were still there. The young man murmured to himself, and his tone felt helpless: "I should have used to this weak body in the past so many years, and my recovery has slowed down recently... Has the curse begun to fail?"

"Brother..." A pale woman, wearing a cloak, saw the blood on the young man, and anxiously walked to the young man.

"Slow down."

"Why are there blood on your body... Doesn't it hurt?"

"It's nothing serious. Look, the wound has healed?" the young man smiled faintly.

"Don't keep saying it's okay, okay? What if the wound doesn't heal, you'll die!"

"You and I know whether you will die..." The young man clenched his fists and smiled sarcastically, "That person will never come back. I did not protect her, but asked her to protect us. It's so ridiculous..."

"Brother...it's been a long time."

"No matter how long I have passed, I will never forget that day." The young man frowned and closed his eyes, changing the subject, "Okay, let's go and save people first."

"Who to save?"

"No matter who it is, I will not refuse to save you."

The woman frowned slightly and shook her head helplessly, "Just the guilt I had back then..."

...

‘Shoulder hurts so much…’ Chu Chen opened his eyes in a daze, stood up with a strong heart, and saw clearly that he was in a small house. A faint flame reflected in Chu Chen’s eyes, and he only saw the big man sitting next to the fire, looking at the jade pendant.

Chu Chen took advantage of the fact that the man did not notice that he woke up and immediately stood up and took away the jade pendant from his hand. After a while, he was knocked away and hit the wall, kowtowed to the head, fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood flowed out of his head. Chu Chen could no longer feel the perception, but the jade pendant was still in his hand. Chu Chen looked at the jade pendant and his vision gradually became hazy...

‘Am I going to die?… I haven’t returned the jade pendant yet, I still want to go back… I want to be the person he cares about, I don’t want to die yet…’

The Imperial City of Hanling Kingdom, Inside the West Tower—

The layers of grids store life stones here, which are the life stones for everyone in the imperial city and are managed by some people here.

‘Ba—’

The sound of shattering did not attract much attention. The manager sitting in the middle of the tower said slowly: "Which layer, whose living stone was broken?"

The guardians on each floor were patrolling, and finally a guardian came to the manager with a wooden box containing a stone and reported: "Sir, he is a slave. An old woman who has been engaged in the imperial city for many years has passed away."

"Well, let's do it as usual."

"Sir..." A guardian was holding another wooden box, his body trembling, "It's Miss Chu Chen of a special layer..."

"What!?" The manager suddenly stood up and took the wooden box, "I'll go and notify Your Majesty!"

...

The young man and the woman rushed to save Chuchen and, based on the information obtained by the young man, came to the location of the wooden house. However, the wooden house no longer existed, and what was reflected in the eyes of the two were wooden boards scattered all over the ground. The young man and the woman walked over slowly and saw the big man lying next to the ruins, his breath was gone.

"What the hell is going on here..."

The young man looked at the body and said, "He shouldn't have died for long."

Suddenly, the wooden board in the ruins moved, and the young man immediately became alert and stood in front to protect the woman behind him. The wooden board fell aside, and a woman with long orange hair and pointed ears appeared.
