Chapter 414 - One Hundred Years of Solitude (1/2)
Lin Luoran doesn’t know how she leaves Mount Qingcheng.
She is so muddled that she can’t even hear the consolation of fire phoenix and White Fairy. She is walking aimlessly in the relic of Rong City. The once beautiful square is full of cracks and pits. The statue of a great men has collapsed and the electronic crystal screens have long been broken into mosaics.
Has the whole Huaxia become a relic?
A yellowed and torn newspaper is blown up. The entire street is empty and even all kinds of monsters are scared away by Lin Luoran.
The newspaper rises up and drifts to her. Lin Luoran freezes and then reaches out to catch it.
The front page news is a photo of a beautiful female anchor with a starry sky as the background. The t.i.tle creates a sensation.
“An Unprecedented Dialogue Between Aliens and Earth in 2051”
2051? Lin Luoran’s pupils shrink. She remembers she left the Bohai Sea Bay in the new year of 2019. Did she actually delay for thirty years in Mount Penglai?
Her mother was almost sixty years old when she left… There is suddenly some hope in Lin Luoran’s eyes. The age of ninety… Supported by Lins’ elixirs and spirit herbs, it’s possible for Mrs. Lin to live without illness and disease until ninety years old.
She selectively forgets about the timeliness of newspapers—if now it is 2051, how can it become yellow and brittle? Rong City will never become how it is now in just a few days.
However, the drowning man has grabbed the life-saving straw. How can he think carefully? Lin Luoran gets a little energy, remembering that the Lin family has the last base. She flies on her sword towards Dongting.
Before seeing Mount Jun, she has seen the green willows by Dongting Lake.
Although the entire city is surrounded by towering walls, many people armed with weapons are patrolling upon walls. Along the Dongting Lake, there are a lot of people. Lin Luoran is very happy to see this. She sees living human beings! Lin Luoran almost weeps with joy and she lands on Mount Jun. The strange thing is that there are no tourists on Mount Jun. It almost just maintains how it was. In front of Liu Yi Well, there is a new painted sculpture exactly like her and the clothes look like dancing.
The three words “Mortal Heart Fairy” are vigorous. At first glance, she knows it must be a calligrapher who writes it.
Who built the statue for her? Lin Luoran feels so strange but she notices that the water emerging from Liu Yi Well is extremely clear. It proves that the Dongting Lake waters are not as polluted as the Bohai Sea. Lin Luoran is more confident about her family living in the Dragon Palace.
Without the support from Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory, the purification works of the waters of Dongting would not be so well.
Looking at the green willows by the lake, Lin Luoran now even has a faint smile.
She has handed the Dragon Palace gold stamp to Yuan Ye long ago. At this moment, it seems to be a decision which cannot be more correct. No matter what happened to Huaxia or the Earth, as long as Lins have hidden in the Dragon Palace, they will be safe.
Lin Luoran walks into the water airily, thinking about how she can surprise her family. As for Mrs. Lin who may have been old, she doesn’t feel very worried about it.
She must shape the best Taoist root for her mother which can even make her catch up later as an old man. Beginning cultivation at ninety years old, so what? There is always a solution!
With a golden light, Lin Luoran disappears.

The golden inner palace of the Dragon Palace appears in front of her. Lin Luoran says nervously, “I’m back.”
I’m back—I’m back—the voice echoes in the empty hall. Lin Luoran is nervous about leaving here for three decades. The Lin family must be very worried. She is a little antic.i.p.ated and also a little worried.
Even the youngest Cui Wanlu is forty years old now. She is very talented and her single Taoist root of Water can always help her advance quickly. Now she may look like in her early twenties. It’s just that Lin Luoran doesn’t know if she is as stubborn and cunning as a child.
Lin Luoran waits for a long time but her families don’t come out. She doesn’t feel so optimistic anymore.
Maybe they are in the Treasury of the Dragon Palace.
In this case, it common that they can’t hear her voice. Lin Luoran walks slowly to the Dragon Palace garden. There is a sound from the huge fish pond. The group of lobsters and koi fish are really great. The leading golden big carp has been already full of Reiki and become very wise.
It is staring at her with big fish eyes. After thinking very hard, it becomes intimate with her. Lin Luoran knows this golden fish recognizes her and she is a little happy. She throws down a few peaches, making some fishes crazy.
They look like hungry ghosts which haven’t eaten anything in hundreds of years. Lin Luoran feels a little relaxed and enters the Treasury with a smile.
Because the golden fish diverts her attention, Lin Luoran does not realize that although there are many exotic plants in the Dragon Palace, the garden is kind of abandoned.
—It looks like there hasn’t been anyone living here for a long time.
…
“I am back.”
Lin Luoran suppresses the uneasiness in her heart and walks through several palaces step by step. The voice is drifting and there is still no one of the Lin family in the Palace of Jiuhua.
Lin Luoran walks slower and slower and she feels more and more desperate.
