Ling Yun froze, and could only pull her into his arms for the time being, before a possibility came to mind.

In the original novel, later in the game, with the help of Lin Qing'er (Zhao Ling'er's mother), a descendant of Nuwa, Li Xiaoyao returned to Miao territory more than ten years ago. In the chaos, he rescued the girl and Jiang Shi, who was responsible for taking care of her. Finally, he handed the two girls over to the Palace Master of Lingyue Palace, who was disguised as a boatman. As a result, Ling'er became a disciple of the Palace Master of Lingyue Palace and lived on Xianling Island to avoid disaster.

Jiang is a maidservant of Queen Lin Qing'er, a powerful Miao heroine. To avoid pursuers, she used drugs to change her voice, appearance, and physique. She is a loyal servant rarely seen in the world. Ling'er calls her Grandma.

Could it be that my future self did the same thing, causing Ling'er to recognize me now?

After venting her emotions, Ling'er raised her pretty face, her eyes red and sobbing. Seeing that Ling Yun's clothes were soaked with her tears, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Brother Ling, I've dirtied your clothes."

"It's okay, I don't care."

The girl smiled happily, but then she quickly remembered something and sighed silently, saying, "Sorry, I forgot, you don't know me yet."

Ling Yun had a guess in his mind, but he didn't say anything more. He said to the girl, "Miss Zhao, shall we go get the medicine first?"

"Ok!"

The two entered the palace. The female disciples were somewhat displeased to see Ling Yun and Zhao Ling'er holding hands intimately, but since Ling'er's maternal grandmother was not present, she was in charge here, so they remained silent.

Ling'er led him to the medicine room and took out a pill that emitted a rich fragrance from a small compartment: "This pill is enough to save your aunt!"

"Thank you, Miss Zhao. I will come back to apologize after I give it to my aunt!"

"No need, as long as... as long as you still remember me, that's enough."

She turned her face away, looking very shy.

Faced with such a lovely girl, Ling Yun couldn't help but take her small hand, gazing deeply into her eyes, their faces drawing ever closer...

"You audacious scoundrel, how dare you defile my Ling'er!"

The door was suddenly flung open, and an old woman, holding a snake-shaped cane, stormed in aggressively.

The two immediately separated their faces, and Zhao Ling'er directly stood in front of Ling Yun, blocking her grandmother who was truly "furious".

"Grandma, it's Brother Lingyun!"

"Who?"

Jiang frowned as she looked Ling Yun up and down, but when she saw his face, she immediately beamed with joy.

“My benefactor, it’s you! Oh, you don’t know any of this yet.”

Lingyun pretended to be clueless and looked at Ling'er with pitiful eyes, asking for help.

Seeing his silly look, Zhao Ling'er subconsciously pursed her lips. She kindly pulled Ling Yun to her grandmother's side and said to Jiang Shi, "Grandma, Brother Ling's aunt is sick, and he has come to ask for medicine."

"What disease?"

"I fell ill today due to overwork."

Jiang stopped interfering, but pretended to be serious. "Ling Yun, is that right? You were so intimate with Ling'er just now, which is considered to have violated her chastity. I give you a deadline of tomorrow to return to our Immortal Spirit Island and marry Ling'er. Otherwise, hmph, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying that, she picked up her cane and struck the ground, instantly growing three feet taller and transforming into a terrifying creature with a human head and a snake's body.

This technique is called "Dream Serpent," the strongest and most unique skill of the Nuwa clan. Mastering Dream Serpent is a sign of the Nuwa clan's mature power. After using Dream Serpent, all of the Nuwa clan's attributes are greatly enhanced. Generally, Nuwa clan members transform into Dream Serpent form when they are physically weak or emotionally agitated.

The Jiang clan did not have the bloodline of the Nuwa clan; it was merely a smokescreen.

Her move was purely to scare Ling Yun, not because she actually wanted to attack him.

"Oh dear, Grandma!"

Zhao Ling'er's forehead was already steaming. She never expected that her grandmother would actually make her marry Ling Yun tomorrow!

Jiang was acting entirely out of concern for Zhao Ling'er. She was well aware of Ling Yun's terrifying strength in the future, and considering that he had rescued her and the young master from danger, he could be considered Ling'er's best match.

Ling Yun glanced down at Zhao Ling'er, then exchanged a final look with the tall Jiang Shi: "I will take responsibility for my actions, Senior. I will definitely come tomorrow!"

Jiang was relieved and transformed back into human form.

Ling'er wanted to see him outside, but Jiang Shi was worried that Zhao Ling'er would be exposed to the outside world too early and that people would find out about her, so she stopped her.

After bidding farewell to the two, the young man walked out of the formation.

This time, the probing aura seemed to become friendly, no longer sending him any strange signals.

Ling Yun glanced at the general direction of Yuhang Town, took a deep breath, stepped onto the water, and sped towards the town.

When he arrived in town, the Ding sisters had already gone home, and the inn's door was tightly closed.

Ling Yun pushed open the door and went inside, arriving at Sun Lan's room.

The once beautiful and spirited aunt lay quietly in bed, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, as if she was still not quite at peace in her dream.

Seeing such a beautiful woman looking so haggard, Ling Yun couldn't bear it and fed her the pill.

Chapter 309 The Confused Black Miao People

The pills melted instantly upon entering her mouth, nourishing and conditioning Sun Lan's body.

Soon, color returned to Sun Lan's pale face, and even her eyelids began to tremble.

Ling Yun was overjoyed. He squatted down by the bedside, took her little hand and put it to his lips, hoping she would wake up soon.

The scent of a mature woman lingered around his nose as he smelled it for a while, and Ling Yun became somewhat aroused.

After another half incense stick's time, Sun Lan finally opened her eyes.

"Yun'er?"

Her deep, husky voice came through the phone. Ling Yun kissed the back of her hand and smiled, "Auntie, you're awake?"

"What...what's wrong with me?"

Ling Yun recounted in detail what happened after she fainted, but he didn't mention going to Immortal Spirit Island to get married. He only said that he had to go there tomorrow to repay the kindness.

"A magic pill?" Sun Lan struggled to get up, but her body was weak, and even if the medicine was very effective, she would not be fully recovered until tomorrow morning.

Ling Yun immediately sat on the edge of the bed, using his chest as support for her back, and wrapped his arms around her body.

Nestled in Ling Yun's arms, Sun Lan even wished they could spend their time together quietly, never to be apart again. But when she opened her eyes, a hint of regret lingered.

"Auntie, I heard there's another way to help you recover faster."

"any solution?"

“Auntie, this method might be a bit too harsh,” Ling Yun said gently.

The next morning, Sun Lan stretched in Ling Yun's arms. Looking at the young man who was still sleeping, she couldn't help but think of what had happened the day before, and her expression became incredibly gentle.

"Yun'er, wake up."

Ling Yun mumbled something with his eyes closed and hugged her even tighter.

Sun Lan found it somewhat amusing, but still nudged him with her hand, urging him to get up.

"Why are you up so early?"

"You little rascal, of course you're opening a shop! Those Miao people upstairs are still around!"

Upon hearing the words "Miao people," Ling Yun immediately got up, quickly put on his clothes, and ran out.

“This child…” Sun Lan smiled helplessly, got up and dressed, but her face flushed when she saw the color on the bed sheet.

Ling Yun rushed upstairs, and before he even opened the door, he used his X-ray vision to see the empty room, realizing that they had probably already gone to Immortal Spirit Island!

When he returned last night, those burly men from the Black Miao tribe were still there. They probably saw him return and guessed that he had destroyed the island's formation, so they went to Fairy Spirit Island early in the morning.

However, Ling Yun wasn't too worried. The reason the Black Miao tribe was able to break into the island and wreak havoc was because their formation had been broken. But he hadn't damaged their formation; he had simply swaggered in. Those Black Miao people were probably still completely bewildered!

Just as he said, the three Black Miao people were wandering around the formation like headless flies, completely disoriented.

"Damn it, that kid's back!" the leader gritted his teeth. "I specifically asked the boatman this morning, and he did indeed take that kid to the island and saw him walk into the formation. Unless the formation is broken, how could that kid have gotten back?"

"Boss, could it be that the boatman lied to us?"

"The devil knows!"

The group continued to wander around inside, grumbling and cursing.

Immediately afterwards, the grass and flower fairies guarding Fairy Spirit Island surrounded them, hiding in the mist of the formation, and launched a righteous gang fight against them.

Ling Yun walked out of the inn. Although he wasn't worried that the three members of the Black Miao tribe would break into the palace so quickly, he still had to deal with these small fry to avoid making things worse.

Just as he arrived at the dock, he saw a girl dressed in Miao ethnic clothing.

The girl's appearance was comparable to Zhao Ling'er's, but she was more mischievous and clever, and she had a fierce argument with Zhang Sige.

"Hey, girl, are you being reasonable? With such big waves, what if I get into an accident while I'm driving you out?"

Zhang Sige sat at the bow of the boat, shaking his head as he looked at the girl on the dock.

"I'm a good swimmer, and I don't need you to save me!" The girl seemed a little anxious. "Besides, I'm just going to take a look in that direction, I'm not going far!"

"No means no!"

"Tch, what a weak man!"

Seeing that the other boatmen were keeping their distance from her, Anu became even angrier and turned to leave, only to bump into Lingyun.

"Hey, don't you have eyes?!"

Anu covered her head, and when she looked up and saw Ling Yun, she was also in a daze for a moment.

There are actually men this handsome in the world...

But as beautiful as she was, she had a more important task to do. She brushed past Ling Yun and hurried towards the town.

Ling Yun glanced back at her but didn't call out to her, knowing that they would meet again someday.

There were too many people around, so Lingyun couldn't walk directly on the water. He just pretended to walk and jumped onto Brother Zhang's boat.

After Zhang Sige rowed him for a while, Ling Yun learned that the three members of the Black Miao tribe had bought a boat and gone out to sea that morning.

"Lingyun, that girl seems to know about the Immortal Island as well."

“She’s the young master of the Bai Miao tribe, so it’s perfectly normal for her to know about this.” Ling Yun stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back. “But just keep playing cat and mouse with her and don’t let her get involved. She’ll back down eventually.”

"Yes!"

The ship came to a stop, and the surroundings were calm. Ling Yun leaped off the bow and ran across the water toward Immortal Spirit Island.

After he left, the sea became turbulent again, and Zhang Sige quickly boarded a boat and left.

After arriving at Immortal Spirit Island, the young man heard sounds of fighting coming from within the formation. However, he did not directly participate in the fighting. Instead, he relied on his own eyes to find the correct path and crossed the formation to enter.

At this moment, all the women of Lingyue Palace stood outside the formation, ready to fight. Although those few Black Miao people were filthy, they had already forcibly destroyed five stone statues by accident, relying on their considerable strength. Only one more statue was needed before the great formation of Immortal Spirit Island would be completely dispelled!

When Ling'er saw Ling Yun emerge from the formation, she opened her beautiful eyes wide and rushed into his arms.

"Brother Ling!"

Ling Yun smiled at Jiang Shi. Seeing that he kept his promise, Jiang Shi was genuinely happy for Ling'er, but she still frowned and looked towards the formation.

She wasn't too concerned about Ling Yun being able to pass through the formation. She believed that anyone with a pure and kind heart could pass through, and in her eyes, Ling Yun belonged to that category.

"Brother Ling, you weren't in any danger inside, were you?"

"No, but I did see three little mice."
