Chapter 152: Kindness

Lin Chao looked at the young girl before him and felt a familiar aura.

However, he had just woken up, and there was still a faint taste of blood at the corners of his mouth.

"I..." The little girl opened her pitch-black eyes, looking well-behaved and cute, "am your daughter, Daddy."

The little girl's voice was incomparably crisp, and she looked innocent and pure.

"Huh?" Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

If he remembered correctly, he had not married or had children in Jiuzhou.

"A few years ago, my mother saw a severely injured person by the river, and she brought that person home to take care of him.

My mother lived in this valley all by herself, which was truly boring, and she didn't have a husband.

She saw that the severely injured person seemed like a good man and looked quite handsome, so she couldn't help herself...

In the end, my mother gave birth to me, Daddy!"

As the little girl spoke, there was a hint of cunning in her eyes, and she even snuggled into Lin Chao's arms; her small body was extremely soft, but Lin Chao was completely stunned.

"Where is your mother?" However, Lin Chao remained calm.

Having experienced so many things, he had long since become unperturbed.

Lin Chao silently accepted this fact.

"Dead." There was a hint of loss in the little girl's tone.

Lin Chao held the little girl, feeling the warmth from her body.

His heart was conflicted.

"Cough, cough..." Lin Chao could not help but cough.

He sensed that the injuries on his body had not yet healed.

He had not expected that he would be able to wake up.

Back then, after he Slay the True Immortal, he knew he was at the end of his rope and would surely die.

He had not expected to have survived after all.

He felt the faint taste of blood in his mouth.

It seemed he had consumed some kind of blood to finally wake up.

"Daddy, from now on, I only have you." The little girl's voice was very crisp.

Lin Chao looked at the little girl, and a cloud of uncertainty arose in his heart.

He should have died long ago.

In this world, if there was anyone who could save him, it must be...

Thinking of something, Lin Chao looked at the little girl: "Are you Die Niao?"

The little girl looked at Lin Chao, her gaze filled with a hint of confusion: "Who is Die Niao?"

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

It stood to reason that Die Niao had lived for tens of thousands of years, so if she transformed into human form, she should not be a little girl.

However...

"Die Niao, your transformed appearance doesn't look very good," Lin Chao said casually.

"What did you say? How is it not good?" The little girl widened her eyes, feeling somewhat exasperated.

Lin Chao smiled.

Sure enough, this little girl was Die Niao.

"I was teasing you." Having obtained the answer he wanted, Lin Chao felt slightly at ease, and he continued to ask, "The scroll I gave you, did you see it?"

He had promised Die Niao that he would turn into the shape of a dragon.

The little girl hugged Lin Chao's waist, a complex look flashing in her eyes: "I saw it."

"How does it compare to it? Does it look like it?" Lin Chao said casually.

Die Niao did not speak; she held Lin Chao and remained motionless.

"Die Niao?" Lin Chao called out.

However, Die Niao had her eyes closed and gave no response.

"Are you asleep?"

Lin Chao placed his hand on Die Niao's pulse, and a touch of heartache appeared on his face.

"Qi and blood deficiency."

He saw the problem that Die Niao currently had.

Connecting this to the taste of blood at the corner of his own mouth.

He understood that while he was in a deep sleep, it was Die Niao who had been feeding him with her own blood.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to wake up.

To Die Niao, this was also a form of harm.

He knew that Die Niao feeding him with her blood was certainly not Ordinary blood.

This kind of pain was probably similar to him peeling off his dragon scales.

Lin Chao picked up Die Niao and slowly stood up.

"It's a pity that my current lifespan is only two or three years at most."

He was a person who should have died.

The fact that he could wake up already demonstrated Die Niao's power.

However, even Die Niao could not extend his life for too long.

Lin Chao knew that he did not have much lifespan left.

Holding Die Niao, he walked out of the thatched cottage.

This was a valley, filled everywhere with plants bearing purple flowers.

Ethereal, quiet.

Lin Chao looked at the valley, his gaze calm.

"Have Die Niao and I always lived in this valley?"

In this valley, apart from him and Die Niao, Lin Chao had not discovered any other powerful living beings.

He looked up at the sky, held Die Niao, and his figure vanished into the darkness.

Not long after, Lin Chao appeared at a restaurant.

He ordered some wine and food, and sipped his wine.

The Die Niao in his arms was still sleeping, her eyelashes long, looking very sweet.

At this moment, the restaurant's storyteller also began to work diligently.

"It is said that four thousand years ago, Jiuzhou was not yet in the Dragon Calendar.

At that time, Ghost Immortals threw the world into chaos, wreaking havoc upon the human realm.

The Xiang Family of Medicine Blood State produced a True Dragon.

This True Dragon flew up to the Nine Heavens and fought a great battle against a million Immortals for three thousand years..."

The Storyteller Immortal spoke with passion and fervor, spittle flying everywhere.

However, many mortals and low-level cultivators in the restaurant were unimpressed.

"We have already heard this story hundreds of times; give us something exciting.

I heard that dragons are inherently lecherous; did this True Dragon have any..."

"Haha."

These people burst into loud laughter.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chao's heart was quite calm.

"So, a thousand years have already passed."

That is to say, he had been asleep for over a thousand years, and every day Die Niao had been feeding him with her own blood.

That was why he had finally awakened one day.

Just then, the Die Niao in his arms woke up; she opened her eyes and stared at Lin Chao.

After looking for a while and confirming that Lin Chao had truly awakened, she felt at ease.

Die Niao withdrew her gaze: "Actually, when I first took human form, I was very big and beautiful, but... over these many years, I have grown shorter and shorter."

Listening to Die Niao's words, Lin Chao felt moved: "Thank you."

He knew that Die Niao feeding him with her blood had damaged her own origin.

This had led to Die Niao, who might have been an adult when she first took human form, now appearing like a little girl.

"Hmph." Die Niao snorted coldly and did not speak.

However, thinking of something, Lin Chao asked slowly: "Why did you take human form?"

If he remembered correctly, that big fellow said he liked butterflies and birds, which was why Die Niao had taken the form of a butterfly-bird.

Now, however, Die Niao had turned into a human form.

"I like it," Die Niao said crisply, "It looks very good."

"Haha." Lin Chao also smiled and said nothing more.

After waking up, Lin Chao accompanied Die Niao, wandering through the human world of Jiuzhou.

The current Lin Chao did not have much lifespan left to live, so he had relaxed his mindset.

One day, he and Die Niao walked to a large mountain, the two of them riding an Iron-Eating Beast.

On the roadside, many practitioners flew past.

There were also many mortals.

Lin Chao held Die Niao, his gaze clear.

At this time, a young woman suddenly leaped down from a tree: "Are you two also here to join the Tian Yun Sect to study and learn?"

Lin Chao, holding Die Niao, shook his head: "No."

"I see that you two have extraordinary temperaments, so I thought you were also here to join the Tian Yun Sect." The young woman seemed very outgoing.

Lin Chao smiled.

Naturally, he had no need to join a sect to study.

Beside them, the young woman seemed to be a chatterbox, and she continued: "The Tian Yun Sect is one of the ten great Gates of Qi Kun Prefecture.

Their ancestor, Pan, even participated in the War of Immortal Slaying a thousand years ago and is one of the top powerhouses in Jiuzhou."

As the young woman spoke, her eyes revealed a look of longing and envy.

"This time, this legendary figure is officially taking on disciples, which is why so many people have come."

"So that's how it is." Lin Chao sighed slightly.

So, this was Pan's Gate.

In Jiuzhou, there were not many people with whom he had a deep friendship.

Pan could barely be considered one.

Lin Chao sighed, bid farewell to the young woman, and left while holding Die Niao and riding the Iron-Eating Beast.
