After Lin Hao saw Qin Mohan off, he returned to the room with Erfa and the others and immediately flopped onto the sofa.
He was so bored.
Although he had spent the past few days with Qin Mohan in a state of tension, if he were to be honest, he had truly enjoyed going out with Qin Mohan.
It seemed as though every scenic spot he had prepared for them perfectly matched his preferences.
It was as if Qin Mohan could read his mind, knowing exactly what he liked.
Did he really not realize he was Lin Hao?
But even if he knew he was his former high school classmate, he shouldn't understand him this well.
He didn't remember telling Qin Mohan where he wanted to travel back in high school.
Was this whole thing just a coincidence?
Lin Hao pondered this question for a long time on the sofa, but after much thought, he still couldn't come up with any answers.
He then stopped thinking about it.
After all, it wasn't good to be too conspiratorial. What if Qin Mohan was just randomly choosing places?
Meanwhile, Erfa and the others, seeing their cub lying quietly on the sofa, exchanged a brief glance before slowly exiting the room.
Erfa walked to the door of Xi'er's room and gently knocked, asking coldly into the room, "What have you been doing these past few days?"
He hadn't seen Xi'er for several days and was still worried.
And that fish had also suddenly disappeared.
The two of them were really making him worry.
Less than a minute later, Xi'er, holding an ancient book in one hand, slowly opened the door. She paused for a moment upon seeing Erfa at the doorway, then looked into his eyes and asked, "What do you need?"
Oh, isn't this the great god of the insect race?
Didn't he pretend not to know me before? Why is he suddenly looking for me now?
Is something wrong?
Erfa, standing at the door, looked at Xi'er, who appeared exhausted, and instinctively frowned. Then his poker face returned, and he said coldly, "Nothing."
After saying that, he walked away.
Xi'er, who had been suddenly called out, rolled her eyes at the fool who had suddenly appeared at her door, then hugged the ancient book and returned to her room.
The room, once clean and tidy, was now filled with books.
Xi'er carefully stepped over the ancient books and sat down in a corner, continuing to read.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally found, in a corner beneath a book, information about the consequences and solutions for a mermaid's forbidden formation.
Upon seeing this, Xi'er quickly flipped the page.
But the subsequent pages only contained a few simple sentences of description.
'The consequences shall be borne by the caster alone. The caster's body will briefly revert to youth, and their spirit and soul will suffer the torment of the formation's backlash daily.'
'This formation is unsolvable.'
Upon reading this, Xi'er froze on the spot.
The book in her hands slowly slipped to the floor.
"Heh, what do you mean unsolvable? This book must be fake. There must be other methods of treatment."
Xi'er looked at the book on the floor, her tone filled with disbelief.
Then she raised her hand and burned the book.
"There's no need to keep books that mislead people."
Xi'er embarked on the long road of searching through ancient texts again, but this time, her search was even faster.
Even though she knew the book was false, the keywords still echoed in her mind.
'Briefly revert to a youthful form.'
'Spirit and soul tormented day and night.'
'Unsolvable.'
'Unsolvable.'
The last two words repeated incessantly in Xi'er's mind. Xi'er weakly lay on the books, murmuring, "How can it be unsolvable?"
Meanwhile, Lin Hao was still lying on the sofa, slowly flipping through the events that had happened in the universe over the past few days.
He never expected that the 'threatening' video he had posted would still be number one on the entire universe's trending list.
Lin Hao silently opened the video, his voice slowly echoing in the somewhat empty room.
Before he could say a few words, he immediately turned the video off.
'Ah, this is so embarrassing.'
Lin Hao immediately grabbed a pillow and covered his head with it.
He shouldn't have opened it. Who would rewatch their own words?
Who would be this idle?
Lin Hao slowly poked his head out from under the pillow and continued to look for entertainment.
He saw that the second trending topic was #Shocked, this Mother Goddess is truly divine!#
He clicked on it with a "wait-and-see" attitude.
He saw several short videos and some pictures, with accompanying text that was a small essay of about a few hundred words.
The gist of it was that this newly established temple could fulfill any wish, great or small.
And it was very simple to ask this Mother Goddess for favors; all it took was a wisp of spiritual energy to make a request.
At first, no one believed it, but as more and more people confirmed that the Mother Goddess was real, the few temples quickly increased to hundreds.
Lin Hao slowly scrolled through the comments below, then exited the trending topic.
As a firm 'atheist,' he felt no ripples in his heart upon seeing this trending topic.
Come on, it's the interstellar era now. Who still believes in this sort of thing?
It's just a form of psychological comfort.
However, is the statue worshipped in this temple real?
As a god, is it really appropriate to wear such revealing clothing?
Well, I dare not ask, and I dare not say.
He then looked at a few other strange trending topics about unfamiliar celebrities.
For example, which celebrity got married, divorced, or learned to paint, etc.
Lin Hao casually browsed through them. There was nothing interesting, so as he was about to exit, he suddenly seemed to remember something.
On an impulse, he searched for the name 'Zhao Feier.'
Then all the recent news about Zhao Feier appeared.
Lin Hao slowly browsed from the beginning of her account, looking for traces of her life.
However, her status updates were mostly related to the royal family, with nothing particularly noteworthy.
However, he seemed to have discovered a strange phenomenon.
Fei'er seemed to really like white dresses. No matter how important the event, she would always be in a white dress.
This was the case throughout the four seasons.
Mini Theater:
Lin Hao: Who would rewatch their own words and videos? Isn't it embarrassing?
Here, a sunflower seed silently extends a paw.
Listening to my own voice recording is really cool, isn't it? Hahahaha.
Ahem, this novel will be updated during Sunflower Seed's day shift, dears. I'm truly sorry.
Love you all, dears.
