Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 343 - Momos Present, Pearl

Chapter 343 Momo’s Present, “Pearl”

The green shadow rushing over is actually wood wolf which feels deeply resentful towards Lin Luoran. Of course, it doesn’t have the chance to hurt her. As soon as its head comes out, it is slapped by fire phoenix and falls on the ground.

This monster wolf always lives a miserable life before or after its death. As a wolf that masters arts of nature, it couldn’t beat Lin Luoran when it was alive. Now it is dead, it can’t defeat fire phoenix. Its tragedy can be comparable to Shakespeare’s.

Seeing that the wolf is under control, Lin Luoran pays no more attention to it. This small wooden hut is much bigger than it looks. Viewed from where Lin Luoran stands, there is a large living room, a small antique wooden building, and many closed wooden doors. This place looks like an ancient inn.

Lin Luoran sees the little silver fish coming out of a room on the first floor with her own eyes.

She is curious about everything here. Observing carefully, she finds there are five rooms on the first floor and a circle of things on the second floor. Little silver fish says they all live on the first floor. Lin Luoran wants to visit their rooms very much but is rejected by little silver fish.

“Your room is the first room on the second floor. Go up on your own.”

The first room on the second floor... Seeing the encouragement in silver fish’s eyes, Lin Luoran raises her foot and walks to the second floor. She doesn’t know how many years old the small wooden building is. When she steps on, the creaking sound makes her suspect these stairs will break off at any time.

She feels like today is a decoding day. She breaks through the inhibition, gets into the wooden hut, and she even has her own room in it.

Then what is in the room?

Will there be anything waiting for her?

Lin Luoran takes a deep breath and pushes open the door of the room on the second floor. A gust of wind blows over. Lin Luoran rolls her eyes. It can’t be less creative! Again?

But looking downstairs, she realizes fire phoenix, silver fish, and wood wolf are all on the first floor. Then where does the wind inside come from?

Lin Luoran’s heart tightens.

The wooden door is suddenly opened from the inside. She sees nobody but hears a sound. A little girl is giggling.

She is not the only human being in the space? Lin Luoran cannot help but take two steps back. She is so shocked that she misses the nostalgia in the eyes of fire phoenix.

For how many years her voice hasn’t been heard?

The wooden door is opened. In Lin Luoran’s alertness, she sees a little girl who is no more than seven or eight years old. That girl’s fair hair has done up in a bun. She jumps out and runs to Lin Luoran.

“Ah, you’re here.” She raises her head. Unlike the alertness in Lin Luoran’s eyes, her tone is very intimate.

...

Ah, you’re here.

It’s like an old friend says hello to her, but Lin Luoran doesn’t know where the intimate feeling comes from. However, looking at the little girl’s pure and spotless eyes, Lin Luoran unconsciously feels very friendly toward her from the bottom of the heart. She is sure that she never met this little girl before, so where does this weird intimacy feeling come from?

The little girl doesn’t go downstairs. She doesn’t even look at the three souls of departed. She just reaches out her little hand to grab Lin Luoran and drags her into the room.

The ordinary wooden door separates this room and the outside into two different worlds. There is a vague sense of sorrow in fire phoenix’s cold eyes. The wood wolf doesn’t notice that and is still provoking it recklessly. Fire phoenix claws it heavily, almost smashing its newly-condensed soul of departed. Wood wolf finally doesn’t dare to be rash anymore.

“Well, is space entertaining?” The little girl sits on the bed and looks at Lin Luoran, putting her head in her hands.

Lin Luoran is in a daze. She thinks there will be something in the room. But in fact, it is almost the same as her room in Lin’s villa. To be exact, it’s closer to the room she used to imagine when she was young. Large floor-to-ceiling glass through which can see fields of space, a veil-like curtain, a soft and comfortable bed, warm and simple wallpaper, a wardrobe, a dressing table, and a new laptop on the desk... Hey, Isn’t it a mixture of the past and present?

She is dazzling for a long time. Then she realizes what the little girl asked, “Is space entertaining?” So, space is just for entertainment? Lin Luoran smiles bitterly. She really doesn’t know who the girl is. Such space is nothing else but entertainment in this mysterious girl’s eyes.

“Yes, it’s very entertaining.” If you have to consider it as a game, space is much more entertaining than some vegetable growing games in the real world. Lin Luoran is just telling the truth.

The little girl changes her position of chin resting, “Hearing you say so, I’m really relieved. It means giving you space is really worthwhile. By the way, what’s your name?”

Now Lin Luoran is all seriousness. Is this little baby girl in front of her really the original owner of space?

“Lin Luoran, Lin-Luo-Ran.”

The little girl dips some tea and draws on the desk. “Is it correct?”

Lin Luoran looks at the table and her face flushes. She thinks she has known enough words, but she still can’t recognize the three words the little girl writes.

However, she also never knows that someone can write the three words “Lin-Luo-Ran” in such an elegant way as painting.

She thinks about it, and also imitates the little girl, dipping some tea. She writes her own name in all fonts she knows. The little girl keeps smiling and staring at her, asking her many questions from time to time.

Lin Luoran writes her own name in all ways she knows. It seems that the little girl still can’t understand. Lin Luoran is a little bit dispirited.

The little girl comforts her, “When I learned to write, he said I should not learn other words. It’s not your problem.”

She looks like only seven or eight years old and her voice is also very cute, however, her state of mind can be much more mature than Lin Luoran’s. She distracts Lin Luoran ‘s attention easily.

They talk for half an hour. On the first floor, fire phoenix is uneasy. It wants to go upstairs several times, but eventually, it controls itself.

On the second floor, Lin Luoran has forgotten her original intention of asking questions about the secret of space. The little girl is always guiding their conversation.

“Talking for so long, did I tell you my name? He always said that my memory was bad. It is so true. ” The little girl’s eyes narrow into crescents. “My name is Momo. Don’t forget it!”

Lin Luoran nods subconsciously. Momo pats her head, “I forget important things whenever I speak. This sacred pearl space is very funny. If you have any questions, you can ask Reddie.”

“Who is Reddie?” Lin Luoran faintly gets a bad feeling about it.

Momo’s eyes widen. “Don’t you know Reddie? It has a pretty tail and can breathe fire. It is very docile... ”

Lin Luoran is almost choked. Is this little girl talking about fire phoenix downstairs? Yes, its tail is pretty. Of course, the fire phoenix can spit fire. Docile? How is it docile? And also, its name is Reddie. That’s really hilarious!

Momo suddenly takes Lin Luoran’s hands and looks at her all over, “You are more beautiful than I was. I don’t know if he likes this type... Can you promise me you will take care of him for me in the future? ”

Lin Luoran begins to feel uncomfortable under her stare, “Who is he?” The cultivator’s vow is under the watch of Tao of nature, so she can’t make a rash promise.

Momo thinks about it and reaches out to make a water mirror. The figure in the mirror freezes Lin Luoran.

It’s the man in robe! The man in robe who wrote golden characters!

Feeling that the temperature of Momo’s palm is falling, Lin Luoran wakes up from her shock. Momo sees Lin Luoran bowing her head without a word, and she smiles, “Is it too much to ask? That’s okay. Just forget it.”

Lin Luoran frowns, “Your hands are so cold.”

Momo jerks her hand out. She nods and smiles casually, “Yeah, because I’m going back.”

Going back... Where?

In Lin Luoran’s searching look, just as to confirm what she said, the little girl’s body, which is originally the same as a real person’s, gradually becomes transparent—

“Momo!” Lin Luoran reaches out to catch her, but Momo’s whole body is floating in the air.

“I’ve waited for years to see you. Don’t worry. I’m just sleepy and I’m going back to sleep.” Momo is still smiling but tears come out of her eyes.

Her tears turn into a crystalline tear pearl. Momo throws it to Lin Luoran’s hands.

When Lin Luoran sees the little girl shedding tears, she feels the same way so she also cries. Her tears and the condensed tear pearl merge together, emitting crystal light.

“‘Lin Luoran’... It’s really a better name than ‘Momo’. Does he like this kind of name better?” The little girl mumbles. Turning into a breeze, she completely disappears in the room.

Lin Luoran is all alone now. She feels the whole thing is kind of dreamlike.

...

Lin Luoran rushes downstairs, “Who is Momo? Why do I also cry when she cries? Why do I feel happy when she smiles? ”

Fire phoenix’s mouth twitches unnaturally, “Because you’re stupid.”

Lin Luoran is furious. Fire phoenix squints its eyes, “Did she give you something?”

Lin Luoran spreads her hands, revealing the “tear pearl” mixed together. Wood wolf shows a coveted look on one side. It wants to rob it regardless of how powerful fire phoenix is but fire phoenix takes it first. It melts the tear pearl into the space between Lin Luoran’s eyebrows.

The unknown stuff goes free in Lin Luoran’s ocean of consciousness. When it sees the Fly Apsaras painted sculpture, it hides into it.

Wood wolf shows its teeth and makes a terrible look, “Bullying... You guys go too far in bullying me!”

Even Lin Luoran thinks it is annoying. She sets her face against it, “Now we have enough time. Don’t you have some confession to make?”

Fire Phoenix gloats and takes silver fish back to their own rooms.

Seeing wood wolf eating humble pie, Lin Luoran touches the space between her eyebrows. Instead of answering her questions, the appearance of Momo makes her more confusing.

She remembers the sacred pearl space belongs to the man in robe in the dream. However, Momo said she gave the sacred pearl to her—can it be like this: the man in robe originally owned the sacred pearl. Then he gave it to Momo. Finally, the pearl ends up in Lin Luoran’s hand?

Not only so, the little girl also gave her a “tear pearl” that she doesn’t even know what it is used for.

If the “Momo” she just saw is like a remnant, then where are the real man in robe and Momo now?

Lin Luoran walks out of the wooden hut. Suddenly she remembers something and pats her own head. The appearance of Momo disrupted her plan. She was intended to ask fire phoenix about how to regrow the arm.

“Reddie... Reddie, come out soon!”
