Chapter 796 Encounter in Another World
Xiao Hongdou thought about it carefully, but still didn't recognize Lin Mu.
Her gaze pierced through the barrier, looking towards Lin Mu outside the door. Upon seeing Lin Mu's true face, a memory sealed deep within her mind resurfaced like a tide.
Xiao Hongdou was stunned for a long time before she said in surprise, "He seems to be my deskmate, the spoiled son of the Lin family."
"As expected, we know each other..." Gu Qing revealed a knowing expression.
However, what puzzled Gu Qing was that since Lin Mu was a transmigrator, why didn't he have the arrogant look that transmigrators have, looking down on everyone as trash?
Lin Mu seemed to have a deep awe for the powerful figures in the fantasy world, as if they were native to this world.
"Maybe he's an oddball. Let's observe him first, and if he doesn't work out, we'll kill him," Gu Qing thought to himself.
"Senior, wait a minute, I'll go ask him if he's my deskmate."
Xiao Hongdou looked delighted.
There are three great joys in life: the wedding night, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and getting promoted and making a fortune.
She suddenly encountered two great joys.
Lin Mu lingered at the door, looking uneasy, his eyes filled with conflict.
He didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
If he angers Gu Qing because of this, the consequences will be beyond his ability to bear.
But if he doesn't see Xiao Hongdou and doesn't find out the situation, he might feel guilty if he stands idly by and does nothing, in case Xiao Hongdou was forced into it.
"Crench!"
The door opened, and Xiao Hongdou's surprised voice rang out: "Lin, is that you?"
Looking at the bright and beautiful girl so close to him, Lin Mu was stunned for a moment before nodding excitedly: "It really is you, School Beauty Xiao."
"Lin, come in and sit down."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongdou warmly invited him in, poured him a cup of tea, and joked, "Lin, you must have known about me a long time ago. Why are you only coming now? If you had come earlier, you could have made it in time for my housewarming."
"I only came here because I heard that you had settled here."
As he spoke, Lin Mu glanced at Gu Qing, who was admiring the flowers in the garden, and said, "I hope I didn't disturb you."
"No, no! My senior and I are overjoyed that Lin could come."
Xiao Hongdou waved her hand, her joy genuine.
Although Lin Mu was an idle and good-for-nothing playboy, he was not a bad person at heart. He had helped her a lot when they were in school.
After she entered the workforce, he even saved her life once.
She was filled with gratitude towards Lin Mu. If it weren't for the long time that had passed and the fact that they had met in another world, she would never have forgotten Lin Mu.
Xiao Hongdou was a very talkative person. She had a sharp tongue but also a sweet one. She quickly started chatting with Lin Mu about all sorts of things, laughing and talking happily.
"She's still so vibrant and dazzling..." Lin Mu thought to himself.
Looking at Xiao Hongdou's radiant smile, how could Lin Mu not know the answer?
Come to think of it, after so many years of being a stranger in a foreign land, how could Xiao Hongdou not have changed at all?
Even he himself has changed.
only……
Seeing his former goddess marry a powerful figure from a fantasy world still made Lin Mu feel incredibly sad.
If... if he had met Xiao Hongdou earlier, would things have been different?
It's a pity that there is no if in the world.
Thinking of this, Lin Mu took out a jade box, pushed it in front of her, and said, "This is my congratulatory gift. I wish you a long and happy life together, and that you will be of one heart forever."
"Thank you!"
Xiao Hongdou accepted the gift with a smile, and also took out a jade box as a return gift.
Neither of them immediately opened it to check what was inside.
Xiao Hongdou sighed, "Lin, I never expected that we would meet again in this vast world. Fate is truly wonderful."
"really."
Lin Mu was deeply moved and sighed inwardly, saying, "The world I first appeared in was not the Origin Continent, but a small cultivation world."
"When I first saw a cultivator who could fly, I thought I had seen an immortal. I was so shocked."
"Oh, so how did you embark on your cultivation journey? To be able to ascend to the Origin Continent, it seems that Lin's cultivation talent is nothing short of monstrous."
"You're a slacker on Earth, but you're a prodigy in this other world. It's true what they say, everyone has their own unique talents. It's just that this world is limiting you, Lin."
Xiao Hongdou praised.
Although Lin Mu knew that Xiao Hongdou was just being polite, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
But when he thought about the trials and tribulations he had endured over the years, he couldn't bring himself to smile.
In fact, his talent for cultivation was far from being monstrous; it was practically a terrible talent floor tile.
However, because he possessed a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, he dared not join a sect, fearing that people would suspect he harbored a secret.
Therefore, he could only be a rogue cultivator, struggling at the bottom and being hunted down by powerful figures from various sects countless times.
The hardships and difficulties involved are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
His purpose in joining the Star God Cult this time was not to join the Star God Cult itself, but to obtain a spot in the Dao Fall Forbidden Domain Secret Realm.
After learning about the doctrines of the Star God Cult, he felt a sense of belonging to the cult, which led him to choose to become an apprentice and fully integrate into the cult.
"It's not easy for anyone."
Hearing about Lin Mu's experiences, Xiao Hongdou was filled with emotion.
Lin Mu went through countless hardships to ascend to the Origin Continent, and so did she.
She was just luckier than Lin Mu because she had Gu Qing and the system Xiao Ba.
The Little Eight System is very useful in the lower realm and the immortal realm (specifying this), but it becomes completely useless when it comes to the Origin Continent.
Now all she does is act cute and clingy, constantly demanding that she level up.
After chatting for a long time, Lin Mu got up and said goodbye.
He finally understood why Xiao Hongdou had married Gu Qing.
Despite his high level of cultivation and extraordinary status, he couldn't see any arrogance or indifference in Gu Qing.
He and Xiao Hongdou chatted for so long, yet Gu Qing showed no impatience whatsoever, continuing to admire the flowers on his own.
This gave Lin Mu a sense of disorientation, as if he were seeing a modern couple.
"This protagonist seems pretty good, I'll keep him for now," Gu Qing thought to himself.
Back in his cave, Lin Mu opened the jade box. After all, it was a gift from Xiao Hongdou, so it was of great significance. Even if it was just a small item, he wanted to keep it.
Let's consider this a beautiful ending to our past with Xiao Hongdou.
However, when Lin Mu looked closely, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Chaos Origin Crystals... still three."
Lin Mu's heart pounded wildly.
He didn't recognize the Chaos Origin Crystal at first, since it was too advanced and a treasure that a God Emperor like him could not possibly access.
However, the Star God Cult possesses Chaos Origin Crystals, and their influence is widespread, making it difficult for him not to recognize them.
……
"Senior brother, aren't you curious about why I know Lin Mu? Aren't you curious about why I call her classmate?"
Xiao Hongdou straddled his lap, playing with Gu Qing's perfect fingers, and said with a smile.
That expectant little face practically screamed, "Ask me, ask me!"
Gu Qing chuckled inwardly and followed up with her question.
Xiao Hongdou immediately spilled the beans, revealing that she was a transmigrated woman and that the Xiao Ba System was involved.
"Waaah, Sister Red Bean, how could you expose him? What if he refines me? Wouldn't Sister Red Bean lose her adorable Little Eight forever?" Little Eight cried and complained.
"Come on, what kind of status does my senior brother have? You think you can even dream of refining something from him? Little Eight, go wash up and go to sleep, you can have anything in your dreams." Xiao Hongdou teased.
Gu Qing activated his Dao Eye and glanced at Xiao Ba.
"It is not an independent system, but a mass-produced subsystem spirit. However, it was very lucky to obtain a rare innate treasure, the wordless heavenly book, which can be used to deduce the secrets of heaven."
