In the midst of the morning mist, Chenglou Village welcomed an unexpected guest. This person was dressed simply, draped in light gauze, and moved with an ethereal grace, as if each step could shatter the void. He claimed to come from the divine realm and was willing to assist Lin Ting and his sister in their fight against the dark mist.
"The divine realm? Are you really from the divine realm?" Lin Tiantian's eyes lit up with a mix of disbelief and curiosity as she gazed at the mysterious figure before her.
The mysterious figure smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Indeed, the reason I have come here is because the Black Mist's plan has disrupted the balance of the divine realm, and we cannot stand idly by."
Lin Ting furrowed his brows at the words, becoming even more cautious. "If that's the case, why come to us alone? The power of the divine realm should be able to easily stop the Black Mist."
The mysterious figure sighed, sounding somewhat helpless: "The divine realm has its rules and cannot easily interfere in mortal affairs. But we can offer assistance, which is also why I am here."
Shue Ling stared at him coldly, with a scrutinizing tone: "You seem to know a lot. Can you tell us more about the Black Mist plan?"
The mysterious figure nodded, then took out an old scroll from his sleeve and unfolded it in front of everyone: "Here is recorded the origin of the Black Mist and its weaknesses. You need to study it carefully."
Lin Tiantian eagerly leaned over to look, only to see that the scroll was covered with runes she couldn't understand. She grumbled discontentedly, "How are we supposed to read this? What kind of weird symbols are these?"
The mysterious person smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the runes on the scroll suddenly lit up, turning into text that Lin Tiantian could understand. "Is this good enough?" he said gently.
Lin Ting and Shue Ling also came over, and the three of them began to study the contents of the scroll seriously. As their understanding deepened, they discovered that the black mist had a fatal weakness, which they could exploit.
"I see, we can..." Lin Ting eyes lit up with a hint of excitement, as if she already had a plan.
Shue Ling also nodded in agreement, looking at the mysterious person: "What specific help can you give us?"
The mysterious person took out a transparent jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to them: "This is a protective charm from the divine realm, it can protect you once in a critical moment."
Lin Tiantian took the jade slip curiously and examined it, "Just this little thing? Can it really save lives?" She was half-believing and half-doubting, with a look of skepticism on her face.
The mysterious man just smiled without speaking, and that confidence seemed to explain everything.
Afterwards, he began to explain the secrets on the scroll and the correct usage of the talisman to Lin Ting, Lin Tiantian, and Shue Ling. The mysterious man's voice was gentle yet penetrating, filled with wisdom and power, captivating all three of them.
In such a serious atmosphere, Lin Tiantian seemed to be unaffected. She couldn't help but try to lighten the tense mood in her own way. "Um, mysterious divine being, do you all in the divine realm eat dew and drink wind Tiantian?" Lin Tiantian looked curious, not hiding her playful nature.
The mysterious person was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, apparently amused by Lin Tiantian's frankness. "In the divine realm, we indeed do not need to eat and drink like mortals, but your imagination is a bit too poetic." His response maintained a sense of mystery while remaining friendly, causing Lin Tiantian to giggle.
Shue Ling Lin Tiantian glanced at Lin Tiantian coldly, but couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Lin Tingze shook his head helplessly and reminded his sister in a soft voice, " Tiantian, now is the time to study, don't always think about playing."
The mysterious person then imparted some unique tactics to deal with the black mist. Every move he made seemed extremely cautious, as if containing profound power. Lin Tiantian occasionally interjected with some strange questions, but the mysterious person always patiently answered, and even shared some anecdotes from the divine realm, making the originally serious learning atmosphere more relaxed and enjoyable.
Lin Ting and Shue Ling also gradually relaxed, listening attentively to the guidance of the mysterious person. They were also infected by Lin Tiantian's innocence and the wit of the mysterious person, and laughter echoed in this small forest. Even in the face of a serious situation, they felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation at this moment.
"Tell me, what does the food in the divine realm taste like?" Lin Tiantian asked curiously.
The mysterious person answered helplessly when asked, "It's no different from the mortal world, but perhaps a bit more refined."
Lin Ting noticed and gently tugged at Lin Tiantian's sleeve, reminding her not to go too far. Shue Ling occasionally smiled, indicating that he had already gotten used to Lin Tiantian's personality.
The exchange with the mysterious person gave them great help, making their confidence in fighting the black mist even stronger. When they parted, the mysterious person reminded them to be careful and cautious, and said that they would appear again to help them at a critical moment.
As the mysterious person left, Lin Ting, Lin Tiantian, and Shue Ling stood in silence for a while. Finally, Lin Tiantian broke the silence: "Alright, now that we have a more detailed plan, it's time to prepare well and give the black mist a surprise."
The three exchanged a smile, their eyes shining with determination. With the mysterious assistance, the battle against the dark mist would carry less risk and more chances of victory. However, they also understood that ultimate success would still depend on their own efforts.
As night fell, Chenglou Village returned to its usual tranquility. But for the Lin Ting siblings and Shue Ling, this marked a new beginning. They would face unprecedented dangers, and in order to protect this land and their loved ones, they would bravely forge ahead without fear of hardship.
Late at night, Chenglou Village fell into silence, occasionally interrupted by the calls of night birds. Shue Ling sat alone on the roof of Lin Ting's house, gazing at the starry night sky, while turmoil brewed within her heart.
Ever since that ally who claimed to come from the divine realm visited, Shue Ling had been restless. The familiar yet strange aura left her deep in thought. She tried to search her memories for answers but could never confirm the true identity of that mysterious person.
Just as Shue Ling was lost in thought, Lin Tiantian climbed onto the roof with a plate of late-night snacks in hand, looking pleased with herself. "Hey, look who I found hiding up here, a big person sneaking around. Who are you missing?" Lin Tiantian said mysteriously as she placed the food next to Shue Ling.
Shue Ling was amused by her sudden appearance and words, shaking his head helplessly in response, "It's just some things on my mind that are hard to let go of. Why are you not sleeping so late and coming here?"
Lin Tiantian Sitting down and starting to unpack the food, she coquettishly replied, "I know you've been sitting here lost in thought. How could I leave you alone feeling lonely? I purposely brought some late-night snacks for you to taste the dishes I made with my own hands, guaranteed to make you forget your worries!"
Shue Ling Looking at her expectant face, his inner turmoil seemed to lessen. He reached out and picked up a pastry, took a bite, and was surprised to find that it tasted quite good. "Hmm, this taste... it's really not bad. When did you learn to cook?"
Lin Tiantian smiled proudly and said, "It's a secret! But if you like, I can make it for you often in the future." With that, she began to eat the supper she had prepared, and the two of them chatted and ate under the moonlight, gradually creating a harmonious atmosphere.
As time passed, Shue Ling finally let go of his worries and looked at Lin Tiantian seriously, saying, "The appearance of our mysterious ally during the day did indeed help us a lot. But we can't rely on him completely. In the end, we have to rely on ourselves."
Lin Tiantian nodded earnestly, "I know, no matter what, we won't back down. But, speaking of which, what were you thinking just now? You looked so deep in thought."
Shue Ling sighed softly and shared his doubts with Lin Tiantian, "That mysterious person feels very familiar to me. I always feel like I've seen him somewhere, but I can't quite place it."
Lin Tiantian After listening, her eyes suddenly lit up with a mysterious smile: "Perhaps, this is what they call past lives and present relationships. You knew each other in a past life, but you just forgot in this lifetime."
Shue Ling Amused by her sudden whimsical thoughts, he shook his head helplessly: "Your imagination is a bit far-fetched. But with you by my side, even the greatest danger doesn't seem so scary."
Lin Tiantian listened and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She leaned gently on Shue Ling's shoulder and whispered, "Of course, with me around, I guarantee to make you happy Tiantian, free from worries."
The two of them enjoyed each other's company on the rooftop until the night grew darker and the moonlight became hazy. Lin Tiantian finally yawned, took Shue Ling by the hand, and together they descended from the rooftop, returning to the warmth of their room, ready to embrace a new day.
