Crazy involution in male-oriented novels, my senior brother has set his sights on me

The next day, Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing came to the beach. Huan'er was still sitting on the rock, and Xunhua was also standing beside her.

Xun Hua was the first to notice Lin Hao and the other two. He was stunned at first, as he didn't expect them to come back so soon.

"You two young friends didn't leave?"

Lin Hao shook his head and told Xunhua everything he had learned in Qingyuan City.

After finishing his speech, Lin Hao took out the painting.

Xunhua unfolded the drawing paper and was slightly stunned when he looked at the beautiful girl in the painting who was as beautiful as a clear spring.

From this painting, one can also see the painter's deep love for Huan'er.

He returned the painting to Lin Hao and said, "Little friend Lin, you should hand the painting over to Huan'er yourself."

Seeing Lin Hao approaching, Huan'er was surprised and asked, "Why is my benefactor back?"

Lin Hao handed the painting to Huan'er and said, "This was painted by Huo Yan."

Lin Hao didn't dare to mention it. This was the last painting Huo Yan made before he died. He planned to see Huan'er's reaction first before deciding whether to tell her or not.

Huan'er thought she was hallucinating and asked uncertainly, "What?"

Lin Hao said again: "This is the portrait Huo Yan drew for you."

Huan'er tried to take it with trembling hands, but when she saw that her hands were still stained with sea water, she pulled her hands back.

Lin Hao was puzzled when he saw Huan'er retracting her hand. Didn't Huan'er want to see the painting?

Then Lin Hao heard the answer, and Huan'er explained: "There is water on my hands."

Lin Hao smiled gently: "It's okay, we have already put a water-blocking charm on the painting."

Hearing Lin Hao say this, Huan'er immediately showed a look of gratitude. She took the scroll, unfolded it, and saw that it was herself painted on it, and smiled.

While looking at the painting, Huan'er muttered quietly, "There's one missing person, Huo Yan. How could he forget about himself?"

Seeing that Huan'er was in a good mood, Lin Hao said, "Huan'er, do you want to know what happened after Huo Yan returned?"

Huan'er didn't take her eyes off the painting. She shook her head and said, "I don't want to."

Lin Hao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Huan'er to give such an answer.

At this time, Huan'er raised her head and looked directly at Lin Hao, then continued: "I know there must be a reason why he didn't come back. As long as he is still alive, he will definitely keep his promise and come back to see me."

It is not difficult to judge from Huan'er's words that she had already guessed the fact that Huo Yan was dead.

But she knew that the other person was gone, so why did she still risk her life and wait here every year?

The smile on Huan'er's face was as pure and beautiful as the one Lin Hao saw for the first time.

"Thank you, benefactor, for bringing me such a precious gift when I came here for the last time. I will give you two gifts in return."

At this time, Huan'er sang a melodious song with a mysterious ancient charm.

Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing were caught off guard when a white light appeared under their feet. The light kept changing with the ups and downs of Huan'er's singing until the singing ended, when the light under their feet completely dissipated.

Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing knew that Huan'er would not hurt them, so they did not avoid the white light.

When the white light faded, Lin Hao looked at Lin Jinxing beside him, hoping to get an answer from his senior brother as to what this was.

Lin Jinxing shook his head. There were too few records about mermaids, and he didn't know what this light was.

Huan'er gave the two of them the answer at this time.

"This is the blessing song given by our mermaid tribe. Although mermaids cannot practice, our blessing song can block a fatal attack for the blessed person at a critical moment. We mermaids can only use it three times in our lifetime. I have used it once before. The last two times are for you two benefactors. I am very grateful to meet you two when I came here for the last time."

When Huan'er mentioned that she had given it away once before, a hint of loneliness flashed across her eyes. It was self-evident to whom she had given it that time.

Huan'er was afraid that Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing would feel guilty, so she continued, "Please accept it with peace of mind, benefactors. To Huan'er, compared to the painting you two brought back, what I gave away is nothing."

Lin Hao smiled and thanked him, "Okay, thank you Huan'er."

Huan'er also laughed, then she carefully put the painting aside and jumped into the sea.

Then two pieces of dragon silk as thin as a cicada's wing were fished out from the sea by Huan'er.

When they completely floated to the surface, the dragon silk was not stained by a single drop of water. One piece was a very light blue, and the other was moon white.

The two pieces of dragon silk shone brightly under the sunlight, like the sea water blown by the wind, flowing faintly.

Lin Hao asked in surprise: "It's healed so quickly?"

Huan'er stared at the sky and said, "I was planning to leave these few days, otherwise I was worried that I wouldn't have enough time to go back."

Xunhua also heard Huan'er say this and walked forward to ask in surprise.

"Why are you leaving before the time comes?"

Huan'er gave Xunhua a grateful smile, "Yes, I'm sorry for troubling Immortal Xunhua over the years."

Although Xunhua was reluctant, he didn't say much. He knew that he couldn't keep Huan'er. He knew it since the second time he met her.

Xunhua sighed, took out a jade bottle from his arms and handed it to Huan'er.

"Take this longevity pill."

Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing on the side looked at the pill in Xunhua's hand in surprise.

The longevity pill is extremely precious because it contains a very rare magical herb, and the person who makes it must be an alchemist of the sixth rank or above.

Moreover, this kind of pill can only increase your lifespan by 50 years if you take it for the first time. If you take it for the second time, it can only increase it by 10 years. The third time it will increase it to five years, and the fourth time and thereafter it will only increase it to one year.

A lifespan of fifty years is enough to attract countless cultivators.

It’s a pity that the longevity elixir is too scarce, and it is the first time for Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing to see the longevity elixir.

Huan'er shook her head, "No, Immortal Xunhua, this elixir is no longer useful to me. I am very grateful for your help over the years."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of light blue light lit up around Huan'er, and the same color of light also lit up around Xunhua.

The light faded away, and Huan'er said, "This is the protection of the Sea God. If you are in danger, you can come here. The sea will protect you. This is the last thing I can leave for you. Thank you, Immortal Xunhua, for your companionship over the years."

The three of them vaguely guessed that Huan'er's life might be coming to an end.

"Tell me, does this count as another way of growing old together with Huo Yan?"

Lin Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this. He probably guessed that Huan'er didn't know the true meaning of growing old together. She just felt that if Huo Yan was still alive, he would definitely be gray-haired now.

But when he looked at Huan'er and said this, there was no sadness on her face, and there was a hint of relief in her tone. She felt relieved for keeping this promise to grow old together, so Lin Hao could not bear to explain any more.

Huan'er picked up the scroll, sank into the sea, and swam in the direction she came from.

She recalled the past...

"Huan'er, are you willing to grow old with me?"

"What is growing old together?"

"Even if my hair turns gray, Huan'er will still love me."

"Okay! I do!"

Huan'er looked up at the sky. She thought she would see Huo Yan again soon. She didn't know if he was waiting for her.

If I am still waiting, I must tell him that even if I am the only one left, I have fulfilled the promise of growing old together...
