CHAPTER 622: CHAPTER 341: THE LITTLE GIRL IN RED_2
Li Qian became increasingly certain that this little girl in red was indeed a Ghost Immortal, and her current spiritual intelligence was likely a result of her obsession evolving.
"But Ayu is very lonely, there’s no one here except for Ayu. Can you stay here with Ayu?"
The little girl in red suddenly spoke with a tone of expectation.
Li Qian felt a chill run down his spine... Was this Ghost Immortal planning to keep him here?
"Ayu... I have family too, and they’re waiting for me to return. How about this, I’ll visit you every now and then, listen to your singing, and chat with you, okay?"
Li Qian attempted to negotiate.
He hoped that this red-dressed little girl would be persuaded; otherwise, it would indeed be troublesome.
Even though he could enter the Chenzhong Cave Heaven immediately,
the problem was... he didn’t dare to take the risk.
The little girl in red was too eerie.
If she followed him into the Chenzhong Cave Heaven, who knows how troublesome it might be.
The red-dressed little girl looked at Li Qian, seemingly in serious thought, then reluctantly said, "Alright, but you must come."
"Of course, Ayu, why would I lie to you?"
Li Qian said with a smile.
"Then let’s pinky swear..."
The little girl in red extended a finger.
Li Qian looked at the little girl’s blindingly white finger, feeling a bit hesitant, but eventually extended his hand to pinky swear with her.
Hiss!
A chilling and eerie aura seemed to seep in.
But as the Chen Bell in Li Qian’s mind glowed faintly, the aura was immediately isolated.
"Pinky swear, hang for a hundred years without change..."
After finishing the pinky swear, the little girl in red was gleeful.
To her, the pinky swear seemed like the best promise.
"Ayu, I’m leaving now. In a few days, I’ll come to see you again..."
Li Qian said.
"Mm, Ayu will come here every day to wait for you..."
The little girl in red nodded vigorously.
Li Qian, under the reluctant gaze of the little girl in red, flew toward the original crack, finally disappearing from sight, letting out a sigh of relief.
It seems that even though this Ghost Immortal is terrifying, there are still patterns to follow. As long as one finds where her obsession lies, it can be avoided.
However, the little girl’s singing seemed beneficial for his Frosty World Tree’s growth, so he felt it necessary to visit in the future.
Li Qian successfully returned to his secret base and then used the Transmission Array to go back to Chenzhong Cave Heaven.
Huff!
Only at this time did Li Qian breathe a sigh of relief and relax a bit.
The unexpected encounter in the Suspended Cave made him realize that the Earth Immortal Realm was far more terrifying than he imagined.
That little girl in red was probably the most terrifying existence in the Suspended World... most likely without any equal.
Since there is such a Ghost Immortal Level existence in the Suspended World, there should be similar beings in the Divine Witch Forbidden Land, perhaps even more terrifying ones.
Several days later.
Li Qian returned as promised and once again arrived at the place where he met the little girl in red.
As soon as he arrived, he saw the little girl in red standing at the same spot, expectantly waiting.
"You really came, that’s great..."
The little girl in red was overjoyed.
"Ayu, have you been waiting here all this time?"
Li Qian curiously asked.
"Yes, it’s boring to go back anyway; it’s better to wait for you here..."
The little girl in red nodded.
"Let me sing for you."
She said again.
Li Qian nodded.
The little girl in red began to sing immediately, the song was the same, but the scenes it presented were different, still showing the three of the little girl with her parents.
After the little girl in red finished singing, Li Qian couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Although the progress of the Frosty World Tree on the system panel hadn’t changed, he still keenly felt the World Tree’s improvement.
This made him quite excited.
"Uncle Qian Yuan, shall I take you to my home to play?"
The little girl in red suddenly proposed.
Her eyes filled with anticipation.
After a moment of silence, Li Qian nodded and said, "Alright."
Although he knew this would entail great risk, he suddenly couldn’t bear to refuse the little girl in red.
"Great."
The little girl in red was delighted, cheering and jubilant like a real child.
Next, Li Qian followed the little girl in red into the Suspended World.
At this moment, the mysterious and unknown Suspended World unfolded completely before Li Qian.
He was quite surprised that there was no light in the rift, only a few luminous plants growing on the rock walls.
But to his surprise, there was light in the Suspended World, although not as bright as outside, it was still unexpected for Li Qian.
He didn’t know where the light originated from?
However, the Suspended World was not purely a Cave World, it was absurdly large, with countless mountain fragments floating, forming various sizes of islands.
The entire Suspended World seemed devoid of motion.
However, once landing on those various sizes of Floating Islands, gravity would reappear, returning to normal.
As Li Qian passed by a Floating Island, he discovered that it was radiant with Immortal Light, clearly indicating the presence of growing Immortal Elixirs.
So he landed directly on the Floating Island.
Soon, Li Qian saw a few gourds hanging on an Immortal Vine, one of which was already ripe.
"Is this the Seven-Star Immortal Gourd?"
Li Qian displayed an expression of surprise.
This Seven-Star Immortal Gourd was very peculiar; before fully maturing, it could be used as an Immortal Elixir.
However, once matured completely, it would lose its elixir efficacy, but could serve as Refining Materials.
Thus, Li Qian plucked two gourds from the Immortal Vine, one fully matured and one yet to mature fully.
As for the other few, they were not yet ripe for picking.
"Uncle Qian Yuan, do you like these things?"
The little girl in red, Ayu, curiously observed Li Qian’s actions.
"Yes, these Immortal Elixirs are useful to me."
Li Qian nodded.
"Oh...."
The little girl in red nodded.
After picking the Seven-Star Immortal Gourd, Li Qian continued with the little girl in red, finally reaching her home, located on a gigantic Floating Island in the deepest part of the Suspended World.
There were various buildings on it... perfectly preserved.
It was evident that this place was once an influence of the Immortal Dao before the Immortal Realm’s destruction.
However, now it was extremely quiet, eerily silent... there was no sense of life at all, as if it were a lifeless wasteland.
However, Li Qian still sensed the aura of several Innate Spiritual Objects on this gigantic Floating Island.
The little girl in red took Li Qian on a tour around the Floating Island, quite happily.
"This is where my dad used to cultivate Immortal Elixirs."
"This is where my mom practiced her skills..."
"This bamboo grove, my parents and I used to play here often, but unfortunately, it has withered."
Li Qian’s gaze fell on the withered bamboo grove, his eyes lighting up too.
Because these bamboos were extraordinary, clearly belonging to the category of Immortal Bamboo....
The entire bamboo grove showed no signs of life, evidently, the essence of the Immortal Bamboo had completely withered and died.
However, these bamboos were still excellent Refining Materials.
Along the journey, he saw many precious materials on the Floating Island, including several Innate Spiritual Objects... he felt emotional, realizing this was where the treasures of the Suspended Cave were most concentrated.
Li Qian spent half a day on the Floating Island before bidding farewell to the little girl in red.
Although the little girl in red was reluctant, she still saw Li Qian off, even gifted him an Innate Spiritual Object.
"Ayu, why are you giving me this?"
Li Qian asked in surprise.
"Uncle Qian Yuan, you seemed to like this, so I gave it to you... but remember, you must come to keep Ayu company again in a few days."
The little girl in red said.
"Rest assured, I will definitely come back."
Li Qian nodded and said with a soft laugh.
Whether it was for advancing the Frosty World Tree quickly or for the valuable items in the Suspended World, he was bound to return.
In the following months, Li Qian visited every few days, each time gaining significant rewards and taking away some items.
There were Immortal Elixirs and Innate Spiritual Objects....
Items incredibly precious in the outside world seemed as common as cabbages in this Suspended World.
Moreover, during these several months, the progress of his Frosty World Tree increased by several points, reaching ninety-nine points, almost reaching a breakthrough to level two.
This day, after completing a session of training with Wu Shuang, Li Qian suddenly felt the Frosty World Tree inside his Inner World begin to tremble.
"Is the Frosty Law World Tree about to breakthrough?"
Li Qian was greatly shaken, full of anticipation.
