The lingering victory, the remnants of the black mist finally dissipated into nothingness. Lin Ting, Lin Tiantian, and Shue Ling stood on the vast battlefield, taking a deep breath as if to permanently engrave the air of this moment.
Lin Tiantian broke the silence first, lifting her face to reveal her mischievous smile, and said to Lin Ting and Shue Ling, "Wow, look at us, the journey we've been through, this grand spectacle is truly magnificent! That old fog, in the end, turned to dust under our feet, didn't it?" As she spoke, she raised the spiritual sword in her hand, gently spinning it, the reflection of the sword's body illuminated her face, making her look even more vibrant.
Shue Ling looked at Lin Tiantian from the side, a hint of a smile flashed in the originally cold eyes, and with a cold snort, said, "Always so self-satisfied. Don't forget, if it weren't for the soul mirror, how could we have come this far?"
Lin Tingze smiled calmly, sheathed the sword in hand, and slowly said, "Indeed. The soul mirror not only reveals the true face of the black mist, but also shows us the power within ourselves. This battle has made our bond even stronger."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Tiantian suddenly remembered something, took out a small and delicate cloth bag from her arms, and revealed a mysterious expression: "Hmph, since we're talking about treasures, I have something too." As she spoke, she took out a crystal-clear jade pendant from the cloth bag, which was engraved with complex totems and emitted a faint light.
Shue Ling and Lin Ting both looked at it with curiosity. Lin Ting asked, "What is this?"
Lin Tiantian proudly raised her eyebrows: "This is a mysterious jade pendant I found during a certain adventure. It is said to protect people's safety and enhance inner strength. Just right, after this battle, we are all a bit tired. Why don't we rest here and try out the effect of this jade pendant?"
Shue Ling looked at the jade pendant in her hand with a hint of doubt, but still nodded in agreement. The three of them found a relatively flat place, sat cross-legged, and Lin Tiantian placed the jade pendant in the center. The three of them closed their eyes, adjusted their breath, and felt the subtle energy emitted by the jade pendant.
As time passed, they felt a gentle force slowly entering their bodies, soothing the fatigue and trauma left by the battle. Before long, Lin Tiantian was the first to open her eyes, surprised to find that not only had her injuries completely healed, but even her inner strength had been enhanced.
Lin Ting and Shue Ling also opened their eyes one after another, pleasantly surprised to discover the same effect. Lin Ting looked at Lin Tiantian and smiled, saying, "It seems that this time we have gained another treasure."
Lin Tiantian responded with a smile, "Of course, my taste is top-notch." She picked up the jade pendant and carefully put it away.
Shue Ling looked up at Lin Tiantian with a hint of a subtle smile on his cold face, his voice unusually relaxed, "It seems we'll have to rely on your judgment even more in the future."
Lin Tiantian nodded in satisfaction and confidently said, "Of course, from now on, leave the task of finding treasures to me!" As she spoke, she playfully winked at Shue Ling and Lin Ting.
Lin Ting shook his head gently, wearing an indulgent and resigned expression. "As long as you don't spend all the money in the family's treasury." His tone was light, but it revealed a deep affection for his sister.
Shue Ling He averted his gaze and looked ahead again, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth lingered. In a deep voice, he said, "After this, our journey is still long. With this jade pendant, we have at least one more safeguard."
The three of them paused in this quiet clearing, enjoying the calm after the recent battle. The tense atmosphere around them gradually shifted to harmony, and the mood between them became more relaxed.
Lin Tiantian suddenly had an idea and smiled as she said to Lin Ting and Shue Ling, "Right, we should celebrate this victory. How about finding a place to relax and unwind?"
Lin Ting nodded with a smile, "That's a good idea. Everyone has worked so hard for so long, we should take a good rest."
Shue Ling responded somewhat coldly, but from his less rigid attitude, it was clear that he did not oppose the suggestion. So, the three of them began a brief rest.
However, for Lin Tiantian, it always seems difficult to calm down during rest time. She looked around and soon began to feel a little bored. She turned to Lin Ting and Shue Ling, and with a mischievous tone from her childhood, said, "Brother, Shue Ling, can't you say something? Sitting like this is too boring!"
Lin Ting put down the book and looked gently at his sister, " Tiantian, resting is about calming the mind, isn't it? You are always so full of energy, don't you feel tired?"
Lin Tiantian pouted and retorted, "How could I be tired? Besides, we just went through a big battle. If we don't talk about our feelings now, when will we?"
Shue Ling then interjected softly, "Is your 'feelings' just a way to find someone to chat with and pass the time?" His tone was cold, but the helplessness was evident.
Lin Tiantian, as soon as she heard this, immediately perked up, her eyes lit up and she said with a smile, " Shue Ling, you really understand me. But you two are so boring, I'll have to entertain myself. By the way, Shue Ling, you've never told us your story. Today happens to be a good time, so why don't you tell us?"
Shue Ling was taken aback by her sudden request, but faced with Lin Tiantian's expectant gaze, he could only nod helplessly, "Alright, but my story is not as exciting as you imagine."
Lin Ting saw the situation and smiled, saying lightly, "Then let's listen to Shue Ling's story. Perhaps we can learn more from it."
So, Shue Ling began to tell his story, and Lin Tiantian and Lin Ting listened quietly. Although Shue Ling didn't say much, for someone as usually stern as him, speaking up was already rare. In this calm and harmonious moment, the relationship between the three of them became even closer because of this sharing.
Shue Ling organized his thoughts a little and began to speak softly, with a never-before-seen gentleness in his voice: "Before I became the Prince of the Demon Tribe, the demon world was constantly embroiled in endless conflicts. The major demon tribes were constantly in conflict, fighting for resources and territory. I was born into the snow leopard tribe, and from a young age, I was instilled with the idea that I had to be strong in order to fight for more living space for the tribe."
Lin Tiantian interjected jokingly, "Wow, Shue Ling turns out you were trained to be a fighting machine from a young age, huh?"
Shue Ling smiled faintly and, unusually, did not argue back. Instead, she continued, "As I grow older, I begin to question this endless fighting. Why can't we seek peaceful ways to coexist? But such thoughts are considered heretical in the demon realm, even seen as a display of weakness."
Lin Ting could hear the weariness and helplessness hidden in Shue Ling's words, and he earnestly said, "Such thoughts are not weakness; they require even greater courage. Shue Ling, your transformation may be a kind of progress for the demon realm."
Shue Ling nodded and continued, "Until I met you all, especially Tiantian, your frankness and optimism showed me a different world. It made me start thinking that maybe it's really possible to change the current situation in the demon world and find a path to peaceful coexistence."
Lin Tiantian raised an eyebrow and half-jokingly said, "Hey, it turns out I have such a big influence! Looks like I need to consider whether I should start charging consultation fees to the demon world."
Shue Ling couldn't help but chuckle, which was extremely rare for him. He responded, "If it can really change the demon realm, then I think the consultation fee is worth it."
Lin Ting also laughed. He looked at Shue Ling and Lin Tiantian and felt the rare lightness and joy of this moment. He suggested, "In that case, why don't we work together in the future to find a new path for the demon realm?"
Shue Ling There was a moment of deep contemplation in his eyes, followed by a firm declaration: "I am willing. Instead of exhausting ourselves in endless conflict, we should seek a way for the demon realm to truly progress."
They discussed the potential challenges they might face and shared their visions with each other. In that moment, their mutual understanding deepened, as if their bond had transcended the boundaries between humans and demons.
Lin Tiantian suddenly stood up, stretched lazily, and said with a smile, "Alright, we've talked enough serious stuff, it's time to have some fun. How about we go to the nearby town and see if we can find some new treasures!"
Shue Ling and Lin Ting exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness and indulgence in each other's eyes. Shue Ling finally nodded, "Alright, we'll follow your lead and go search for these so-called 'treasures'."
Lin Ting also stood up and smiled, saying, "Then let's go together. But remember, don't be too extravagant."
The three of them left the resting place and headed towards the nearby town. Their steps were light, and laughter filled the air.
