Chapter 240: First Harvest

Chapter 240: First Harvest

Before the boy could clearly see the situation around him, he heard a very clear, familiar, and calm voice coming from the bedside.

"You just woke up and your injuries haven’t healed yet. Don’t move your body too much."

After hearing what she said, the boy turned to look at her. Unlike others who would be stunned when they saw her face for the first time, the boy’s eyes widened in disbelief, and tears fell from his eyes like pear blossoms.

Seeing his strange reaction, Zhu Lin blinked in confusion and asked, "Does your injury still hurt? Why are you crying?"

Hearing her question and sensing the concern in her voice, the boy opened his lips, but no words came out after a long time. Zhu Lin thought he might be mute, so she covered Zheng Jinnan with a quilt, then looked at the boy and asked, "Can you write?"

When the boy heard her question, he realized that she thought he was mute. After calming down, he wiped his tears with his dirty shirt and said hoarsely in the ancient god’s language: "Master, I am Huoyan."

As soon as Zhu Lin heard what he said, her eyes widened as she asked in surprise: "You actually still remember your past?"

Huoyan nodded and said, "Yes. Master, after Shuang and I died, someone gathered our soul fragments. I don’t know who that person was, but I know he didn’t have any ill intentions."

Zhu Lin thought for a while and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Huoyan smiled and said: "Master, have you forgotten that my soul is stronger than Shuang? Even if my soul is scattered, I can still hear and be conscious. Before I entered the cycle of reincarnation, I heard that person say that he hopes Shuang and I can find you as soon as possible and help you return to the Six Realms before it is too late. Since I was born into this world, I have never stopped looking for you and Shuang. Fortunately, I finally found you."

After listening to his words, Zhu Lin thought to herself: ’I don’t know who that person is, but what is his purpose in helping me?’

Seeing her deep in thought, Huoyan said, "Master, I was born in this world as an orphan. My name in this world is Shao Yuzi. Because we don’t know who that person is or what’s going on in the Six Realms. I think we should be careful. Therefore, please call me Yuzi in this world."

After saying that, he looked at Zheng Jinnan, who was lying next to him, and asked, "Is he my twin brother Shuang?"

Zhu Lin looked at him, nodded, and said, "Yes. In this world, Shuang has lost the memory of his previous life and he still has a mother in this world."

Shao Yuzi looked at his twin brother and asked, "What is his name in this world?"

"Zheng Jinnan. He is my disciple." Zhu Lin replied calmly.

After a moment of silence, Shao Yuzi reached out and touched Zheng Jinnan’s cheek and said with a happy smile: "Shuang, it’s great that you are still alive."

Seeing that his face was still pale, Zhu Lin took out a few bottles of divine spring water. She put them on the bedside table and said, "You are still too weak to move. Drink these divine spring waters and have a good rest."

Looking at the divine spring water, Shao Yuzi’s eyes lit up and he asked, "Master, has your cultivation already recovered?"

Zhu Lin smiled slightly and said, "My cultivation level has only recovered a little bit. There is still a long way to go before I can fully recover my cultivation level."

After saying that, Zhu Lin saw Shao Yuzi’s thoughtful look and said, "You just woke up. Do you want to eat?"

Shao Yuzi shook his head and said, "Master, I don’t need to eat anymore, I’m already at the peak of the Golden Core Realm."

Zhu Lin nodded, stood up, gently rubbed his head, and said, "Then you should rest for now."

After making sure he was fine, Zhu Lin left the guest room. Sitting on the bed, Shao Yuzi looked at his twin brother and muttered: "Shuang, we have to return to the Six Realms as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late."

Looking at the gloomy winter sky through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, he sighed and said, "I hope the Heavenly Emperor can persist until we return to the Six Realms. Otherwise, if the twelve ancient gods can be successfully resurrected, all living beings will suffer disaster."

After leaving the villa, Zhu Lin followed the crowd and walked towards the farm area. When she arrived, workers had harvested more than half of the crops. Looking at the tall pile of potatoes, corn, and rice, the corners of Zhu Lin’s mouth raised slightly.

Standing there and observing everyone’s reactions, Zhu Lin found some suspicious people in the crowd. Zhu Lin observed them for a while and then went to find Ji Yang. She searched for several minutes before finding him at the administration building near the farm.

Seeing her coming, Ji Yang smiled and said, "Good morning, Xiao Lin. What brought you here so early in the morning?"

"Good morning, Ji Yang. I just came back from the farm and I found a few suspicious people." She said while sitting on the chair in front of him.

Hearing what she said, Ji Yang stopped what he was doing, raised his eyes to look at her, and asked, "Suspicious people?"

Zhu Lin nodded to him and said, "Mhm. I saw them walking around the farm and granary, looking very suspicious."

Ji Yang fell into deep thought after hearing her words. After a moment of silence, he said, "Those people actually dare to send people to our base to steal food. It seems that they are really desperate and can’t wait any longer."

Zhu Lin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you know all those suspicious people?"
