Not long after dinner, Luo Luo became sleepy.
Lin Jing carried her to bed, tucked in the blankets, and soon, faint snoring sounds began.
Lin Jing continued to the courtyard, waiting for Luo Luo’s mother to return, ready to hand Luo Luo over to her.
Having lost her daughter, she must be anxious as well.
It was deep into the night when Lin Jing finally heard some noise from outside.
Lin Jing stood up and walked outside.
When he opened the courtyard door, he saw Luo Luo’s mother, looking dispirited as if all her energy had been drained, slowly shuffling her feet forward.
“Ning Daoyou.”
Lin Jing called out to her.
However, she seemed not to hear and continued walking.
“Ning Daoyou.”
Lin Jing called out again, this time louder.
Only then did Luo Luo’s mother react.
She turned back, with a blank expression and no light in her eyes, and said vaguely,
“I’m not in the mood right now, don’t bother me.”
After speaking, she turned back and walked toward her own house.
“Ning Daoyou, Luo Luo is at my place resting, please come and take her home.”
“What did you say?”
Luo Luo’s mother’s voice suddenly rose, and then she appeared right in front of Lin Jing, her expression frantic, staring intently at him.
“Today I came across Luo Luo who had gotten lost on the streets, so I brought her back to my house, and she is now asleep there.”
Before he finished speaking, Luo Luo’s mother had vanished, reappearing within her own courtyard.
“That speed, even with a Godspeed Talisman, I couldn’t match it.”
Lin Jing felt a bit awkward, touched his nose, and then walked back to his own house.
Entering the room, he saw Luo Luo’s mother, her eyes moist, caressing Luo Luo’s little face with a look full of tenderness.
Lin Jing didn’t disturb them; he just quietly watched.
After a long while,
She finally came to her senses and came before Lin Jing to give a bow.
“Ning Yue is very grateful to Daoyou for helping my daughter.”
Lin Jing replied, “Ning Daoyou is too polite, it was just a small effort, nothing worth mentioning.”
Ning Yue shook her head.
“Now, it’s just Luo Luo and me left, her life is my life.”
“Daoyou’s great kindness, Ning Yue will surely repay.”
“We are neighbors, it was but a small effort. Now that it’s late, Daoyou should take Luo Luo home to rest as soon as possible.”
Upon Lin Jing’s reminder, Ning Yue came back to her senses.
She was in the home of a strange man.
At this thought, her cheeks turned slightly red.
“Daoyou, I’ve disturbed you. Tomorrow, I will bring Luo Luo over to thank you.”
Having said this, she gently picked up the sleeping Luo Luo.
Then she walked outside, and upon reaching the door, Ning Yue turned around, gave Lin Jing a deep bow, and then disappeared into the night.
……
After Ning Yue left, Lin Jing closed the courtyard door and then returned to his room.
“Enter System Space.”
Even before, Lin Jing had set the alarm range of System Space to the size of his courtyard; as long as anyone entered the courtyard, Lin Jing would be promptly alerted.
That’s why he could enter System Space with peace of mind.
In System Space, Lin Jing didn’t plan on cultivating for the time being.
The Alchemy Room was already open, and he hadn’t tried it yet. This time, he intended to see what the Alchemy Room was like.
With his Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root’s cultivation talent, advancing was undoubtedly much more difficult compared to others.
And so it was.
Even with such preferable conditions in System Space, with its rich spiritual energy, he had been cultivating for over three months now.
Over three months…
His cultivation had only increased by 8%.
He must consume Elixir Medicines…
Otherwise, when would he ever advance?
“Of course, if there were Elixir Medicines that could change the Spiritual Root, that’d be even better.”
Lin Jing couldn’t help but daydream.
Arriving at the Alchemy Room, Lin Jing steadied his emotions.
Afterward, he prepared all the necessary materials for Alchemy.
