Star Dragon God
“Huo Feng, what is this? What just happened? That explosion was terrifying, and the entire Purple Cloud Mountain has been flattened.”
Huo Lianqing, being someone with experience, was the first to calm down after the shock and asked.
At this moment, Nangong Yu and Xuanran nodded eagerly beside them, clearly anxious to know what was going on.
Huo Feng exchanged a glance with Ruo Xi and said, “This magical beast is called a dragon. It saved me during my battle with the Shadow Demon Lord at Black Yan Mountain. Just now, it was sparring with Ruo Xi, which is why there was such a commotion.”
Huo Feng did not mention to his father and the others about Ruo Xi and the Ice not belonging to this realm, nor their grievances.
“A dragon? What kind of magical beast is that? Moreover, I noticed that both Ruo Xi and this beast have become stronger; I can't see through their power at all. Such terrifying destructive capability—last time you and Wen didn’t even reach this level.”
Xuanran suddenly stopped here. Ah! Could they be above Earth Vein Realm Level Five? Or perhaps in the legendary Vein Realm? What kind of person and what kind of magical beast are they? Historical records have never mentioned such powerful beings.
Thinking of this, Xuanran seemed to lose the courage to continue, glancing at Ruo Xi, then looking at the ice on Huo Feng's chest.
Huo Feng felt helpless; he did not want to disrupt the balance of this realm, so he had to keep the matters of another realm hidden.
At that moment, Ruo Xi suddenly became very downcast, ignoring them as she walked alone towards Nottingham City.
Huo Feng quickly followed her, asking with concern, “Ruo Xi, what’s wrong? Did you get hurt earlier?”
Ruo Xi still appeared very low-spirited, not looking at Huo Feng, just shaking her head as she continued walking forward.
At this time, Huo Lianqing and the others also followed. Nangong Yu gently asked, “Huo Feng, what happened to Ruo Xi all of a sudden?”
“I’m not sure either; she just suddenly became like this and won’t talk,” Huo Feng replied helplessly.
"I'll go ask her. It should be easier for girls to open up," Nangong Yu said as she chased after Ruo Xi.
The three men followed behind at a distance.
Soon, the four of them returned to the Huo Family. As soon as they arrived, Ruo Xi rushed back to her room and closed the door.
Huo Lianqing observed the young people's interactions and then returned to his own room.
At that moment, Huo Feng and Xuanran quickly approached Nangong Yu. Huo Feng eagerly asked, "Sister Nangong, how did it go? Did Ruo Xi say anything?"
Nangong Yu frowned and replied, "She still won't talk. It seems to be something very special. However, she did say some strange things."
"What did she say?" Huo Feng asked again.
Nangong Yu furrowed her brows and said, "She mentioned that she would find a way for your eyes to recover, that it was great to know us, and that she would never forget us for a lifetime. Meanwhile, it felt like she didn't hear anything I said and was just lost in her own thoughts about everything that happened with you."
"It sounds like she's trying to convey something. What's going on with her?" Xuanran was also puzzled.
Huo Feng smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing. It's getting dark; let's all go rest."
Without caring about their expressions, Huo Feng turned and left for his own courtyard.
On the way, Huo Feng felt a mix of happiness and emptiness in his heart. He slapped his forehead and muttered to himself, "What's wrong with me? Ruo Xi's memories are returning; she should be going home. I should be happy for her reunion. Why do I feel a bit empty inside despite my happiness?"
Huo Feng shook his head vigorously and pushed open the door to his room. After a while, he changed his clothes and stepped outside again. He leaped onto the rooftop, sitting cross-legged as a silver light flickered between his brows.
After Ruo Xi returned to her room and closed the door, she quickly sat on the edge of her bed, aimlessly rubbing the bedspread with her hands while a single tear glistened at the corner of her eye.
Ruo Xi's heart was in turmoil. "Why is this happening? Haven't I always longed to regain my memories and return home? Why do I feel so sad and reluctant now?"
In Ruo Xi's mind, memories of her time with Huo Feng kept flashing by. From their encounter in the Icebound Mountains to the Holy City, the joys and sorrows they experienced together, and the separations they faced.
Ruo Xi shook her head vigorously, and a tear she hadn't noticed drifted into the air as she did so.
Suddenly, Ruo Xi thought of Xuanran and felt a jolt in her heart. "Could it be that I really like Huo Feng? No way, he only has that little bit of strength, far too inferior to those from my realm. Besides, he has no background; how could I possibly like him?"
"But why does he keep appearing in my mind as I know I'm about to leave? Whenever he shows up, the excitement of going home disappears, replaced by emptiness."
"He is so special, always considering me in times of danger. He never backs down from villains and never admits defeat; he has the heart of a strong person. I must really like him."
At this thought, Ruo Xi couldn't help but blush and told herself, "I must follow my heart and choose my own feelings. Everything else can go to hell."
At that moment, Ruo Xi walked to the door and gently opened it to step outside.
Huo Feng was on the rooftop practicing Stellar Energy, but his brow was tightly furrowed.
With a sigh, Huo Feng opened his eyes and muttered restlessly, "What's going on? Why can't I calm down tonight?"
Seeing that he couldn't settle down to practice for a long time, Huo Feng stood up and prepared to leap off the rooftop.
Just then, a figure appeared beside Huo Feng. He instinctively jumped away and only then realized it was Ruo Xi.
He stepped forward and said, "It's you! You scared me. What brings you here at this late hour?"
Ruo Xi sat down and smiled. "It's nothing; I just wanted to chat with you."
Huo Feng also sat beside Ruo Xi. Under the brilliant starlight, they looked like a beautiful and harmonious couple from afar.
Unfortunately, both of these naive young people felt a sense of melancholy at that moment, seemingly still unaware of their own hearts.
"Are you about to go home? Congratulations, you finally regained your memory and can return home," Huo Feng said calmly with a smile.
Hearing Huo Feng's words of blessing, Ruo Xi felt a bit bitter inside. However, she smiled on the surface and replied, "Yes, I can finally see my father and mother."
"I came to tell you that I will likely be picked up from the Vein Realm soon, within a day or a few days at most. I will miss you all."
Ruo Xi initially wanted to express how much she would miss him, but in the end, it turned into 'you all.'
She quietly gazed into the distance, thinking, "After this, we may never meet again. It's better not to let him know, so he won't worry unnecessarily. I'll just bury my love for him deep in my heart."
"We will miss you too, but being reunited with family is the most important thing. We must bless you and support you," Fire Mage said.
"Thank you. When my family comes to pick me up, please make sure the Frost Dragon doesn't appear outside; otherwise, it will be in danger."
With that, Ruo Xi glanced into Huo Feng's room where Ice was resting. After a quick look, Ruo Xi spread her form and disappeared.
Seeing Ruo Xi leave, Huo Feng did not chase after her but stood quietly on the rooftop with a furrowed brow.
