Chapter 54: New Function Unlocked, the Eye of Reincarnation

Every place has its own rules.

Yan Du lies beneath the emperor's feet, and it is the most prosperous and flourishing place in the Great Yan Dynasty.

In a short time, the Lin clan's merchant business went from a small county town to Yan Du, which is almost impossible.

Lin Chuan pondered, guessing it was the Yan emperor's masterpiece.

The maid Lü Ya couldn't think that far ahead, happily dancing with her hands and feet.

"That's Yan Du! A place where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, young master! We're going to make it big!"

From now on I'll be a maid in a wealthy household of Yan Du!

How wonderful!

Lin Chuan teased:

"Look at your lack of ambition—our goal isn't just Yan Du, but the entire Qingyun Prefecture, and beyond that, the wider world."

"I don't care for a bigger world; being by the young master's side is enough for me."

Lü Ya blinked, unable to imagine what the wider world looks like.

From childhood onward, her world has been the Lin manor.

As she grew up, the Lin manor kept expanding, becoming so vast that she could never leave it in her lifetime—and she didn't want to.

Lin Chuan smiled,

"Not bad—go tell the kitchen to make some extra tasty dishes. Since you're so thoughtful, today you can pick ten dishes you like."

"Thank you, young master."

Lü Ya's eyes lit up like a little greedy cat.

"How's Mengmeng these days?" Lin Chuan asked again.

"She's been sleeping all along." Lü Ya's expression was odd, and she added, "She really takes after you, young master."

Lin Chuan came to the bedroom.

Xiao Rumeng was hugging her pillow, sleeping soundly; her long eyelashes swayed gently with her breath, and the toes on her little feet twitched now and then.

She looked like a cute child sleeping normally.

The truth, however, was that Xiao Rumeng had been asleep for nearly a month.

【Perfect Meng Jing Meng Jing Meng Jing Nü Mo Zun】 In the dream reincarnation, Lin Chuan sensed the offspring left by his own bloodline, though he had never seen them,

According to the timeline, Xiao Rumeng shouldn't be only three or four years old.

What's even stranger is that, after being at the Lin manor for several months, Xiao Rumeng hasn't grown at all—she remains exactly as she was when she arrived.

All these phenomena indicate that Xiao Rumeng is not a normal child.

It must be that, in the Perfect Meng Jing Meng Jing Meng Jing Nü Mo Zun's world, something happened between Mo Sangyu and Xiao Rumeng that caused this situation.

Lin Chuan stretched out his finger and poked Xiao Rumeng's cheek.

She seemed to sense it, slowly opening her big eyes: "Dad, why are you getting up before Mengmeng again~"

"Because Dad has things to do."

Lin Chuan held Xiao Rumeng in his arms; for some reason, his affection for her grew stronger and stronger.

At first he thought it was because they'd been spending more time together.

But this time his perception was exceptionally clear—it was a throbbing from his bloodline, certainly not merely a spiritual sense.

"Dad, has Mommy come back?" Xiao Rumeng asked again.

Lin Chuan soothed, "Wait until Mengmeng grows a bit more, then Mommy will return."

"Okay."

Xiao Rumeng nodded, feeling wronged.

Just then, Lin Chuan had a sudden thought: Could Xiao Rumeng be incomplete, just like Tu Shan Jiao Jiao's condition?

【Perfect Meng Jing Meng Jing Meng Jing Nü Mo Zun】 In the dream reincarnation, after he and Mo Sangyu experienced that night, their next meeting was already the final farewell.

During that long stretch of years, Mo Sangyu's two personalities struggled against each other, and the Demon Lord persona would absolutely not be willing to leave a child behind.

The accident probably occurred around that time.

Lin Chuan sorted out his thoughts.

A thought rose in his mind; he immediately closed his eyes and softly chanted, "Jiao Jiao, lend me your strength."

In an instant, the illusory spirit of a Nine-Tailed Fox appeared behind Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan's eyes changed color, his pupils turning into flickering flames; when he looked at Xiao Rumeng again, the scene was completely different.

In his sight, Xiao Rumeng had become a tiny soul sealed layer upon layer by intricate spells, completely cut off from this world.

She had no physical body.

The so‑called physical body was formed by layers of impenetrable mist gathering together.

The mist was influenced by the faint breath emitted from the sealed infant soul, which made Xiao Rumeng appear adorably dull and foolish.

No wonder Xiao Rumeng, aside from her father, knows only her mother.

Because she fundamentally lacks a complete soul consciousness.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel heartbroken; the emotions from the dream reincarnation seemed to surge out all at once and fall upon him.

Thud!

Just as Xiao Rumeng woke up, she collapsed back onto the bed.

Lin Chuan pondered, "How can we free Mengmeng from this state?"

He quickly realized that he himself was the key.

Because his bloodline aura has been affecting Xiao Rumeng, gradually dispersing the mist, even though it's minuscule,

"No wonder the little girl clings to me in every way."

Her instinct should also want to walk out of that state, right?

Lin Chuan only then realized,

Many things in the dream that left no memory, and things that happened from another angle in the dream world, also affect reality, reflecting reality.

This will cause many unforeseen situations to arise.

Lin Chuan tried to actively send his own essence and qi into Xiao Rumeng's body, and indeed the speed at which the mist dissipated increased somewhat,

But not long after, Lin Chuan felt utterly exhausted, his essence and qi depleted, and he had to stop the transmission.

To let Rumeng recover is destined not to be completed in a short while.

Lin Chuan lay on his back on the bed, panting heavily; now he must save his wife and his daughter, and the karma he created in the dream has all come due in reality.

Thus the saying 'fortune and misfortune depend on each other' came true.

【Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the hidden side quest 'Reincarnation Linkage'.】

【In the real world, you changed the fate of your daughter Lin Rumeng, earning 50,000 points this time.】

In his mind, the system prompt suddenly sounded.

"Are there any hidden quests?"

This was something Lin Chuan had never anticipated.

【You discovered a partial connection between dream reincarnation and the real world; the system has unlocked a new function for you.】

【You have gained a new ability—the Reincarnation Eye.】

【Reincarnation Eye: After activating this ability, you can view the reincarnation count of living beings in the real world.】

【Furthermore, you can use the Reincarnation Eye to enter the dream reincarnation together with living beings that meet specific conditions.】

【The specific condition is: you have once been in the same reincarnation, and you have intersected.】

【Please remember, host, each of your reincarnations is yourself.】

The newly opened function dealt Lin Chuan a considerable shock.

Looking at his daughter Rumeng, a virtual prompt box appeared before his eyes.

【Lin Rumeng, reincarnation count: 0.】

【This is Lin Rumeng's first life, and she and your previous reincarnation 'White-Robed Sword God Lin Chuan' have a father-daughter relationship.】

"Young master, the delicious dishes are served."

Just then, the maid Lü Ya called out from outside.

"Coming."

Lin Chuan walked out, his gaze falling on Lü Ya, and a virtual prompt box appeared.

【Lü Ya, reincarnation count: 99.】

【This is Lü Ya's hundredth life; in the previous ninety-nine reincarnations, she has always been your maid.】
