Chapter 174: Seeking Qingfan's Traces

Tianlong Star Domain.

After countless deductions and searches, Lin Yangyang and Ye Xue finally found Lin Qingfan's sealing place.

It was a towering great mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist.

"This should be the place."

Lin Yangyang gazed at the mountain before her; this place no longer matched anything in her memory, yet she could be certain that Qingfan had sealed himself to sleep here.

"Yang Zu, can we go in?"

Ye Xue's eyes were full of longing.

"I've said it before, don't call me Yang Zu; that title is too heavy for me to bear right now."

Lin Yangyang laughed: "Just like A Chuan, call me older sister."

"Mm, sis."

Ye Xue nodded.

Perhaps out of respect for Yang Zu in her memory, or because Lin Yangyang is Lin Chuan's elder sister, she readily accepted this older sister role.

Lin Yangyang said: "Given my current strength, I certainly cannot break the seal on Qingfan, but I can bring you in to take a look."

After two years of cultivation, bolstered by Yang Zu's memories, Lin Yangyang has reached the peak of the Mortal Dust Supreme Being realm.

She is just one step away from entering the Legend Realm!

But back then, Yang Zu, who set the seal, was an unparalleled powerhouse beyond the Legend Realm, a supreme being standing at the pinnacle of the world.

Even if she enters the Legend Realm, she remains far distant from Yang Zu of that time.

"Alright."

Ye Xue said bitterly: "As long as I can catch a glimpse of my daughter, even if we cannot recognize each other for now, I will be content."

"Let's go."

Lin Yangyang stepped forward first into the mountain.

Ye Xue followed; in an instant, a terrifying pressure swept over her, and a mysterious force forcibly severed her cultivation.

Aside from her physical body, everything else was no different from that of a mortal.

Lin Yangyang, however, was unaffected.

This further confirms that Lin Yangyang is the reincarnation of Yang Zu.

"Stay by my side."

Lin Yangyang took Ye Xue's hand, and the two walked toward the mountain peak.

"Older sister, I have something I want to ask you."

Over the past two years, they have been constantly on the move, rarely having a moment to sit down and talk; Ye Xue is not someone who enjoys heart-to-heart conversations.

Probably because she has taken on the role of Lin Chuan's wife, she is willing to open her heart to Lin Yangyang.

Lin Yangyang smiled gently: "We are all family now, Xue'er; say what you have to say straight away, no need to overthink."

Ye Xue pursed her lips: "Sister, Lin Chuan has so many romantic ties; what do you think of them? Or, among us, whom do you like the most?"

"No wonder it's Xue'er—right off the bat you give me a tough problem."

Lin Yangyang pondered for a moment, then replied seriously: "As an older sister, I understand A Chuan best, and I have discussed this matter with him."

"He genuinely likes each of you."

"A Chuan can unhesitatingly sacrifice his life for you; his love for you is beyond doubt."

"If I had to say whom I like the most, naturally I like them all."

Lin Yangyang's tone was gentle, as if she were comforting a little girl craving favoritism.

Ye Xue, a bit stubborn, pressed on: "If I must choose just one, who would you pick?"

Lin Yangyang gave Ye Xue a deep look,

"If I must speak honestly, I feel the most pity for you."

"Pity me?"

Ye Xue did not understand: "Why?"

Lin Yangyang said: "We shared that past life together; in that life we were friends, and I know your feelings for A Chuan."

"As far as I know, aside from Lü Ya, A Chuan's other romantic entanglements each involved a separate lifetime with him, but you did not."

"Although it is heaven's meddling, for you it is indeed unfair."

"I know you feel wronged in your heart; you are not like that silly girl Lü Ya, who can be satisfied with anything."

"In that lifetime gave your life for A Chuan's sake."

"If you had not chosen to sacrifice yourself back then, perhaps everything would have been different, or perhaps you could have grown old together with A Chuan."

"You have given too much and missed out on too much; that is why I pity you."

The two strolled among the mountains, chatting about matters, like close confidantes in a boudoir.

"Older sister, thank you."

Ye Xue's eye sockets reddened slightly, her voice choking.

The reason she acts so domineering is because she believes all this is her due, since she is Lin Chuan's first wife!

Why should she be wronged to give her love to another?

She has never been one to suffer injustice for the sake of peace, whether toward ethnicity or individual, but for A Chuan she ultimately stepped back.

Regarding feelings, she cannot confide in anyone.

All her grievances can only be buried deep in her heart.

At this moment, the understanding of her older sister Lin Yangyang seemed to let her find a reliance in an instant.

"No need to thank me."

Lin Yangyang sighed lightly, "Regarding the matter between you and Lin Chuan, I am also helpless; some things are useless even for me as the older sister."

"How your relationship ends depends on you yourselves."

"I don't want any of you to suffer injustice, nor do I want Lin Chuan to be saddened by this."

"This is a joyous occasion; it should have a happy ending."

Lin Yangyang said much.

Ye Xue remained silent.

How could she know? The matter has come to this, the ending was already predetermined.

Given husband Lin Chuan's temperament, he would never abandon any romantic bond.

While chatting heart to heart, the two unwittingly reached the mountaintop; all around were clouds and mist, swirling, as if a mortal Immortal Realm.

"When you see Qing Fan later, remember to stay calm."

Lin Yangyang solemnly warned, "If the world is no longer as we remember, who sits atop the mountain? Are they watching us? We do not know any of this."

"Once Qing Fan awakens, a series of events' resurgence is destined to be entangled, which we cannot settle now."

"Understood?"

Although aware that Ye Xue is a calm, measured person, Lin Yangyang still gave several reminders, fearing any mishap.

"I'll only take one look."

Ye Xue took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm.

"Alright."

Lin Yangyang said no more.

She manipulated the technique, and purple light rippled.

The mist ahead gradually cleared, revealing a transparent crystal stone in view.

A tiny dragon girl was sleeping within it.

"Qing Fan~my child."

Ye Xue choked in her throat, her delicate body trembling, reaching out to touch, yet she firmly suppressed the impulse within.

Looking at Qing Fan, who had reverted to a childlike form, Lin Yangyang felt a flood of emotions.

She also did not know how long had passed since that era; Qing Fan's survival to the present owes entirely to the two Heavenly Dao Great Vows made by Heavenly Demon Chuan back then.

"As long as one lives, there is hope."

Lin Yangyang patted Ye Xue's shoulder, soothing, "Everything will return."

"Mm."

Ye Xue answered with tears.

At that moment, ear‑splitting dragon roars came from beyond the forest.

Lin Yangyang's expression changed, "Sure enough, something's still wrong?"

Although the world does not know that Qing Fan is sealed and sleeping here, the mountain's mystery has surely already attracted various forces of the Tianlong Star Domain.

Any slightest wind or movement will draw attention.

"It's the dragons again!"

Ye Xue snorted coldly, fretting as her emotions had nowhere to vent.

If before she still feared them by three points, now she has refined the drop of Ancestral Dragon Source Blood that Lin Chuan gave her; in terms of bloodline power, it even surpasses the four Dragon Kings!
