CHAPTER 621: CHAPTER 341: THE LITTLE GIRL IN RED

In the Earth Immortal Realm.

Li Qian had already ventured deep into the Suspended Cave.

Due to the numerous earth rifts and the vast range, Li Qian still hadn’t completely explored it.

On the map of the Suspended Cave that he drew, the densely-packed earth rift passages were like a massive and complex communication network.

"There’s probably about one-tenth of the area left, and I should be able to completely perfect the entire outer region of the Suspended Cave’s rift map."

Li Qian calculated in his heart.

However, he planned to return to the secret base and use the Transmission Array to go back to the Chenzhong Cave Heaven.

Suddenly, a strange song echoed from the depths of the Suspended Cave.

The song was faint yet melodious, as if it came from a little girl’s voice, causing Li Qian to stop.

During the long exploration in the Suspended Cave’s rifts, this was his first time hearing such a strange song.

As he went deeper, the song became more distinct.

Suddenly...the song seemed to change position, appearing at another location.

At the same time, the sound of the Chen Bell rang in his mind, waking Li Qian up with a jolt.

Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He had unwittingly ventured deeper into the Suspended Cave under the influence of the song.

He was already very close to the Suspended World.

Thinking of this, Li Qian hurriedly retraced his steps and retreated swiftly.

But the song abruptly came nearer, as if it suddenly sounded right beside his ear.

Li Qian unhesitatingly wielded the Two Forms Spirit Sword, executing the Immortal Slaying Sword among the Divine Firmament Nine Swords.

Crash!

A terrifying Frozen Sword Qi burst forth, stabbing towards the source of the sound behind.

Thud!

It was as if it hit something.

Li Qian looked back, only to see a little girl in red with disheveled hair, tilting her head to look at him, and her neck was pierced by a Sword Qi, filled with icy chill yet seemingly suppressed.

But the eyes of this little girl in red were eerie and gleaming with a spooky light.

"Don’t you like listening to me sing?"

The little girl in red stood lightly, like a ghost, her voice innocent and clear.

But to Li Qian’s ears, it was terrifying.

What on earth is this?

His Immortal Slaying Sword was strong, very strong...

But even though it hit the little girl in red, it seemed to have no effect.

"Of course, I like it. You sing very well..."

Li Qian forced a slightly reluctant expression, smiling as he said.

"Really?"

The eerie light in the little girl in red’s eyes vanished, returning to a pure state, her innocent face very happy.

"Of course, as soon as I heard your song, I was immediately enchanted. It’s really nice...."

Li Qian lied against his heart.

After all, the song was too bizarre.

This little girl in red was likely some terrifying existence.

"Shall I continue singing for you?"

The little girl in red said, her eyes filled with expectation, seemingly eager for Li Qian’s approval.

"Sure."

Li Qian nodded.

Whatever the case, it was best to first stabilize this little girl in red.

The little girl in red immediately opened her mouth and began to sing.

"The courtyard where vines hang down, wind chimes shatter the pond full of stars, paper kites carry nursery rhymes, gliding over the branches of ancient locust trees..."

At this moment, around the little girl in red, strange scenes presented themselves, as if the song world mirrored reality.

In the scene, apart from the little girl in red, there were two figures, a man and a woman, who seemed to be the little girl’s parents.

The entire scene made the originally eerie melody seem warm.

When the little girl in red finished singing, Li Qian couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he was stunned.

Because he noticed that the progress of the Frosty World Tree on the system interface had changed from level 1, 96% to 97%.

Moreover, after listening to the little girl in red’s song, he indeed felt some changes in the Frosty World Tree.

"Could it be that the song of this little girl contains the Power of Laws, which my World Tree can absorb after listening?"

Li Qian thought to himself.

If that’s the case, this little girl in red is not only a threat but perhaps also his opportunity.

"Is it nice?"

The little girl in red looked at Li Qian expectantly and eagerly asked.

"It’s nice, really nice."

Li Qian nodded.

He wasn’t lying; although the melody was a bit eerie, combined with the girl’s voice, it did sound quite good.

"You’re the first person who could listen to my entire song."

The little girl in red said happily.

"Did others also hear your singing?"

Li Qian curiously asked.

"Of course, but they didn’t like to listen to my song, each one of them was fierce and mean, I don’t like them..."

She said, pouting.

"What’s your name?"

Li Qian asked.

"I am called Ayu... that’s what my mom and dad call me."

The little girl in red replied.

"Where are your parents? Why are you alone here?"

Li Qian asked.

"I’ve always lived here, waiting for mom and dad to come back... They said they had something to do and they told me not to go wandering, Ayu has been very obedient, never leaving, waiting here for them to come back..."

The little girl in red said.

"Is she a Ghost Immortal?"

Li Qian pondered silently.

He suspected that this little girl in red might be a being from before the Immortal Realm shattered.

"Your mom and dad will definitely come back in the future."

Li Qian said.

"Hmm, Ayu will be good, waiting for mom and dad to come back."

The little girl in red’s eyes were pure and bright, full of unwavering belief.
