The righteous female cultivator loves to act coquettishly, while the demon empress is very arrogant

Because time has passed, Ruan Dongling has almost forgotten the small world in the library.

But just now, an extremely strong idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

It seemed as if something was sending out a strong call, telling her to go to that small world and take a look.

If it weren't for this thought, Ruan Dongling would definitely not be able to remember it.

Arriving at the Library Pavilion, Ruan Dongling removed the protective formation.

Seeing the stairs that appeared again, the feeling of calling became even stronger.

Ruan Dongling no longer hesitated and stepped up the stairs.

It's still the same small bedroom, still the same scene.

None of the items placed on the low table had been moved, and even the flowers in the vase were still the same as when they were put in.

Time here seems to really stand still.

Ruan Dongling stood in the bedroom, looked around and found that all the items had not been moved.

But the note she left behind before leaving disappeared.

"Huh? Someone has been here?"

Ruan Dongling looked around and found no trace of the note.

Could it be that the owner of the house is back?

Ruan Dongling hurriedly walked out of the house and looked at the scene in the yard.

There was still no one, and the layout in the yard had not changed, but the spiritual plants that she had collected actually grew back!

And they are all mature.

It has been more than ten years since I last left.

The time in this small world is out of sync with the time in the outside world.

One day here, only one hour has passed in the outside world.

Therefore, these spiritual plants have been planted for many years.

It's just that compared to before, Ruan Dongling's desire for these heavenly materials and earthly treasures is much lighter now.

Mainly because these treasures are no longer of much help to her.

Ruan Dongling walked outside. She wanted to see if there were any changes in the bamboo forest where she learned the Sumeru Shadow Technique.

The strong call in her heart seemed to be guiding her to the bamboo forest.

She can also take a look at the aura-rich stream.

This time she had to get some Lingxi water back.

Ruan Dongling was very fast. When she came to the edge of the creek, she found a person standing in the bamboo forest.

Ruan Dongling was shocked.

This was the first time she saw other people.

Ruan Dongling crossed the stream and walked straight into the bamboo forest.

On the open space that was previously covered with bloody footprints, those footprints had all disappeared.

The man stood in the center of the open space, his back to her, motionless.

Although he couldn't see the man's face, Ruan Dongling could get a glimpse of this man's unparalleled elegance just from his back.

But for a moment she couldn't tell whether the person was a boy or a girl.

This figure has a slender figure, long hair like a waterfall, tied with a cyan ribbon, and dressed in light cyan clothes.

The breeze blew in the bamboo forest, causing the man's clothes and hair to sway gently.

The ripples caused by the shaking of the clothes were like layers of water waves above the water.

Ruan Dongling's heart was beating wildly. Could it be that this person led her here?

Ruan Dongling's steps became lighter unconsciously.

When he reached the bamboo gate in front of the small courtyard, Ruan Dongling stopped.

She found that as she moved, the figure of the man seemed to be turning, because the man's back was always facing her.

Ruan Dongling spoke softly, "Excuse me, are you the owner of this place?"

The figure stood there without making a sound.

Ruan Dongling waited for a moment, then realized there was no response, so she raised her voice and spoke again, "Uh, um... Excuse me, are you the owner of this place? Did you call me here?"

Still no response.

Ruan Dongling was a little puzzled and felt something was wrong.

She tentatively walked forward until she was one step behind the man, and then she stood still.

At this time, Ruan Dongling felt something unusual.

This person doesn’t seem to be a living person!

Ruan Dongling was shocked and immediately walked around to this figure.

After seeing this man's face, Ruan Dongling's doubts were cleared.

This is actually a statue!

But the clothes and hair on this statue don’t look fake at all!

Ruan Dongling stretched out her hand, wanting to grab a strand of the statue's hair to see if it was real.

Why was the hair and clothes of such a statue so lifelike that even her eyes were deceived.

But when she reached out to the statue's cheek and was about to touch the statue's hair, her fingers were blocked by an invisible force.

Her fingers couldn't move any further.

Ruan Dongling was shocked and tried harder, but it still had no effect.

Ruan Dongling had no choice but to give up her thoughts and start observing the statue.

It can be distinguished from the face of the statue that this person is a woman.

Her eyes were closed, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised with a smile, and she looked very peaceful.

The slender hands in her wide cuffs seemed to be holding something.

Ruan Dongling gently opened the sleeves of the statue, and his pupils immediately shrank.

But I saw that the statue was holding a mysterious box three fingers wide and as long as a forearm in its hand.

The material used to make this box looks like gold but not gold, and looks like jade but not jade. The colorful brilliance flows on it, as if there are colorful water flowing slowly.

Because of what he had just experienced, Ruan Dongling reached out and gently touched the box.

She thought she would still be blocked by invisible energy and would not be able to touch the box at all.

But what she didn't expect was that this time there was no obstacle, and her fingers touched the surface of the box.

But it feels warm and smooth, like touching a piece of top-grade mutton-fat warm jade.

There is also a trace of strange energy in the touch from the fingers.

This energy entered Ruan Dongling's body, causing the meridians throughout her body to expand, her Dantian became active, and her spiritual energy moved faster.

More importantly, it seemed that something deep in her blood had awakened.

This feeling is so wonderful that Ruan Dongling can't even express it in words.

Ruan Dongling used her fingers hard to hold the box in her hand.

Strangely enough, the box that was originally tightly held in the statue's hand was taken away so easily by Ruan Dongling.

Ruan Dongling seemed to see that the fingers of the statue's hands moved slightly and loosened the box they were holding.

Once the box leaves the statue's hands, the statue changes.

The whole body of the statue began to gradually fade and dissipate, like a weathered stone that slowly disappeared when blown by the breeze.

Ruan Dongling held the box in his hand and looked at the statue in front of him.

In a daze, she saw the statue's slightly drooped head lift up, and its eyes that had been closed slowly opened.

The purple light in those eyes was flowing, and the smile on the corners of the mouth was even deeper.
