When the outside world was in an uproar, a few kilometers away from the outskirts of Qingshan Town, a thatched house sat leisurely in the depths of the jungle. The atmosphere was harmonious, with smoke curling from the cooking, and three or two low-level herbivores wandered on the nearby lawn, looking at the farmhouse from time to time, without the slightest fear of humans.

The door opened, and an old woman came out with a basin of water, only to see that she carefully poured the water from the basin into the nearby flower forest. On the other side, an old man was hoeing a piece of soil next to the house, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead with his clothes.

"Daddy, I'm back!"

A voice came from the jungle not far away, and I saw a tall, dark-skinned, thick-eyed and square-faced young man walking out with a load of firewood, and several small demon beasts hanging on the firewood stretcher.

"Halberd, you're back!"

Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly put down the basin in her hand and greeted her.

"Mother, be careful, don't fall!" The young man saw the woman coming towards him, and quickly put down the things on his shoulders and went over to support the old woman.

"It's really hard for you," the old woman looked at the boy with a kind face.

"It's okay, it's okay, that's what a child should do," the boy smiled innocently.

Picking up the weight again, the two of them walked together towards the door.

The young man's name is Xiang Ji, what he has not lacked since he was a child is strength, after being adopted by two farmers here, he has taken care of them for more than ten years, and Xiang Ji has long regarded them as his relatives.

"By the way, has the boy woken up?" asked Xiang Ji.

"I haven't woken up yet, but the little girl next to him has woken up and is taking care of him in the room, hey! These two brothers and sisters are really pitiful, seeing that the injuries on their bodies are not light, they must have endured some great hardship, and they have suffered this at a young age!" The old man who was farming on the side also put down the things in his hand and walked slowly towards the old woman and Xiang Ji.

After Xiang Ji hung the small demon beasts he had obtained from hunting on the railing in front of the door, he walked into the room with the old woman and the old man.

When they entered the door, they saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl sitting on the edge of the bed taking care of the young man who was lying on the bed unconscious, and turned his head to see the three of them walking in, and quickly put down the wet scarf in his hand and stood up.

"Grandpa!" When they saw the sturdy young man beside them, they didn't know what to call it for a while, and stood there with an embarrassed expression.

"This is your brother Xiang Ji, who found you and your brother unconscious in the deep mountain path," the old woman seemed to see the little girl's predicament, and said with a smile on her face.

"Thank you Brother Xiang Ji for saving your life!" the little girl also responded very politely.

"Where, where! It just happened to happen, and it can't be said to be a life-saving grace!" Xiang Ji touched his head innocently, and then asked, "How is your brother now?"

He ...... He hasn't woken up yet!" the little girl turned to look at the pale boy who was lying down, and tears gleamed in her eyes. If it weren't for saving her, he wouldn't have been seriously injured.

When she saw him in the Treasure Tower, she asked him for help, although she didn't have much hope at the time, until the young man wrote the words in her palm telling her to wait for him, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her desperate heart.

For a long time afterward, he was not seen, until he was pushed onto the auction table, and the boy did not appear, and she gradually became disheartened at this moment, but in her heart, for some reason, she still believed that the boy would still appear.

At the moment when the people of the Royal Beast Sect were about to stretch out the demon grasp to her, a black-robed man appeared, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but with the merman's natural keen perception, she was sure that under the black robe was the young man, and at the moment of coma, she saw the figure slowly walking towards her.

"I said, I'm going to take her away!"

These words echoed in his mind for a long time, like the thunder of the nine heavens resounding in the depths of her young mind......

"Little sister, don't cry!" Xiang Ji saw that the little girl was about to cry, and he panicked instantly, thinking that his words had provoked her.

"It's okay, don't worry, if you don't die, there will be a blessing!" the old woman still looked at the little girl with a smile, "You've been awake for a few days, and we still don't know your name?"

The little girl wiped her eyes, "My name is Lingxi!"

"Lingxi, what a special name! But don't worry, we'll call you Little Lingxi in the future!" the old woman said again.

"Little Sister Lingxi!" Xiang Ji shouted a few times, "What a name!"

When the little girl heard them call herself that, a hot current swelled up in her heart, and she thought to herself that not all human beings are murderous. In the past, her people instilled in him the idea that human beings are the most vicious creatures in the world, and many of her people died at the hands of humans, so the merman and the human race are like fire and water, and whenever a human enters the territory of the merman, then they will only be greeted by death.

"At least they're not bad now!" Lingxi said secretly in her heart.

.....

A week passed, and Xiang Ji took Lingxi into the jungle to wander around, and discovered many interesting and interesting things, which made Lingxi, who had been gloomy for days, rarely smile.

After the last rescue incident, Qing Ming was really injured too badly, and the spiritual power and physical strength on his body far exceeded his own limit, even if his physical body was strong, it was difficult to withstand this attack. Qing Ming's consciousness fell into a deep sleep, and all aspects of his body's functions were steadily recovering.

Two weeks passed in a flash, and after Qing Ming's body recovered to a certain level, his consciousness gradually became clearer. Qing Ming only felt that he was swimming in the boundless darkness and depths, with no goal, no light, just blindly drifting forward, like a ghost who could not find a home.

In his mind, he always felt that he had forgotten an important matter, and that he had promised some people that he would keep his promise.

"What the hell have you forgotten?" the consciousness was on the verge of distraction, and the faint laughter of a little girl came to his ears.

"Little girl......" he muttered to himself, and suddenly, his consciousness trembled, and he suddenly remembered something.

"Yes, it's the little girl, I promised him to get her out!"

A strong consciousness dominated the heart, and he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. Qing Ming, who had been in a coma for two weeks, finally woke up.

Because he hadn't seen the light for too long, Qing Ming involuntarily closed his eyes again, and at the same time, he sat up too quickly, only to find that the pain hit his whole body, and his bones seemed to fall apart.

"Oops!" Qing Ming screamed, this sound alarmed the people outside, only to see a petite and delicate figure rush in, before Qing Ming opened and saw who the person was, the person suddenly threw himself into Qing Ming's arms.

Qing Ming looked closely, it was at that time that he rescued the little girl, and the hanging heart was completely relaxed.
