Volume 1 Chapter 67: Spirit Bird

  The things that happened that night were like one beautiful dream after another, so unbelievable, so intoxicating. But Xiao Yang's existence kept reminding me that it wasn't a dream, it was my real experience.

  Who would have thought? Xiao Yang, it turned out to be the reincarnation of Ling Niao. He was originally a spirit bird in the immortal realm, and for the sake of my life-saving kindness in his past life, he willingly endured the suffering of reincarnation, reborn as an ordinary person to come to the mortal world, just to stay by my side. How can I bear such a deep affection that transcends time and space?

  I remember leaving very late, Mo Zheng solemnly warned me: "Your journey will make you experience many different emotions, and may bring you trouble. However, don't worry, as long as you stick to your heart, follow your heart, everything will be fine."

  I sighed, "Alas, I think I'm too soft-hearted. Others are so good to me, if I can't respond in kind, it would hurt them so much?" Mo gently stroked my hair: "You know I'm the most kind and soft-hearted. That's why I like you! Liking you is not wrong, don't have a psychological burden, you can treat their feelings in your own way."

  "Does Xiao Yang know his own origin?" I asked curiously, and it turns out that Xiao Yang is also a reincarnated immortal. "It depends on whether you want him to know or not." Mo said with a light smile. "No, shouldn't it be up to you to decide? He was originally your spirit bird after all?" I came to my senses, "Right, does he still have any divine magic left?"

  She raised an eyebrow, lifted her hand to smooth out her silver hair: "If his memories awaken, then his spiritual power will also recover. Now, he can only be considered a mortal who is smarter than the average person." Ah, I see, no wonder he was able to get first place in the exams, no wonder he could remember so many poems and verses, it turns out he's just a person who is smarter than the average person.

  "How can he recover his memory?" I couldn't wait to see Xiao Yang's reaction when he finds out about his past. "Heh, are you sure you want him to know?" Mo asked. I rolled my eyes: "Don't pretend to be stupid, don't you understand what's on my mind?" "Alright, as you wish. He'll come find you at dawn." Mo waved goodbye and I floated back to my room with a light heart.

  As expected, at that early morning, while I was still in a daze from sleep, the door was knocked loudly. I opened the door with blurry eyes: "Who is it? I haven't slept well, what's going on?" "Sorry, sorry, I...I..." Xiao Yang's voice sounded urgent.

  I woke up with a start and saw Xiao Yang's excited face, which made me feel a bit strange. He had never come to my house like this before; every time he would just sit in the small courtyard for a while and then leave. Why was he coming to knock on my door so early today? Was there something urgent that couldn't wait? I quickly asked: "Hey Xiao Yang, is everything okay? Do you have some kind of emergency?" Xiao Yang's face calmed down slightly, but his voice was still urgent: "Sorry, I got too excited. I saw your parents had left before I came in and disturbed you; go back to sleep, I'll wait for you outside." With that, he quickly turned around and went out front.

  This guy has a problem, I went back to the bedside, quietly thinking, my brain was in a mess after not sleeping well. I put on my hair clip and suddenly everything from last night flooded into my mind. I remembered what Mo said, Xiao Yang came back to find me at dawn. So, does this mean his memory has recovered? I quickly got dressed, washed up, and made myself look neat and tidy. When he told me that Dad and Mom had gone out, I thought they must have gone to the store. I went to my brother's room, but he was also out. Whoa, so today I'm alone at home! Wow, can I cause some chaos now? Hehe, actually it's not that exaggerated, it's just a feeling of freedom. When I arrived in the living room, Xiao Yang was leaning against the door, staring blankly at the sky outside. "Hey, big brother, what brings you to find me so early?" I walked over and lightly patted his shoulder. Xiao Yang's body shook, he turned around: "Xiao Ruo, didn't you not sleep well? It's all my fault for disturbing you." He had a slightly guilty frown.

  I shook my head and smiled lightly: "Alright, don't blame yourself, I'm feeling great. Let's go sit in the courtyard." We moved two chairs over and sat down. Xiao Yang looked at me, wanting to speak but hesitating. I smiled and said to him: "Hey, what's going on? Just say it already?"

  He took a deep breath and said slowly, "I had a strange dream last night. In the dream, I became a spirit bird in the immortal realm, responsible for delivering messages for my master. During one of my missions, I got injured, and it was you who saved me. This life, I reincarnated as a human specifically to repay your kindness that saved my life." He was immersed in his dream, "No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw you; no wonder I felt empty when I didn't see you. It turns out, I came to this world just to wait for you. How wonderful, we have a connection that spans multiple lifetimes!" His mouth curved up slightly, and his eyes gradually became distant.

  I listened quietly, already knowing what he was saying in my heart, but still couldn't help being moved by his tone. Not wanting him to be too obsessed, I changed the subject: "Hey, Xiao Yang, that's just a dream, you don't have to take it seriously. I have dreams every day, there aren't that many gods and monsters, are there?" "No, it's real. You know? I even met my master, a silver-haired god with flowing hair, wearing a white robe... Ah, yes! He is the God of Foam. He told me to cherish the opportunity to be human and protect you well." His tone was firm, "Actually, I already knew that the God of Foam liked you the most. Back then, you were still the Lotus Flower Fairy, and the God of Foam took care of you every day with great care... but in the end, you fell in love with his little disciple. Sigh! I really feel sorry for the God of Foam." He looked at me with some melancholy.

  "Don't pretend it's real, Xiao Yang, it's not that mysterious, right?" I interrupted. "Unless you can prove what you're saying is true." I remembered that Ling Niao should have some magical powers, but I didn't know what kind. Xiao Yang furrowed his brow in thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Prove it? That's too easy." After finishing speaking, he stood up, stretched out his arms and waved them around a few times. Wow, a miracle appeared - he actually floated up! His hands continued to move, and his body slowly rose higher. I stared in amazement, it was too incredible! Why couldn't I fly up myself? But now is daytime, this would be too eye-catching. I quickly signaled him to come down, and he nodded, stabilizing his body before descending back down. He had an excited face: "How's that? Now you should believe me, right? I can even understand bird language. Wait for a moment, let me listen." There were several small birds on the tree chattering away. He closed his eyes, listening quietly, and a sly smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
