"Why?"
Chu Lingwei instinctively asked.
"Because the Nine-tailed Ice Fish prefers solitude. Both their mates and their offspring live separately. The Nine-tailed Ice Fish here have already been caught by you, and there are no more Nine-tailed Ice Fish here."
The young man answered very seriously and in detail.
There was such a saying?
Chu Lingwei really wanted to ask Grandpa Yu in the space, but she was worried about the person in front of her discovering the secret of the space, so she held back.
"Who are you?" Chu Lingwei asked again, she didn't believe there were such good-hearted people in this world.
"I don't remember who I am." The young man shook his head, turning his head to look at the Linglong Stream. "I've been here for nearly ten thousand years, and I've long forgotten who I am."
Chu Lingwei's heart sank. No wonder the Spiritual Armor Dragon Beast led them here. It turned out that such a final boss was hidden here.
"Why are you telling me this?" Chu Lingwei became even more vigilant, thinking if she entered the space now, would this person directly chase in.
"You won't be able to catch Nine-tailed Ice Fish here, so you'll leave," the young man said frankly.
Chu Lingwei, "..." What kind of reason is that?
"You don't want me to leave?" Chu Lingwei asked cautiously.
"I haven't seen anything alive for a long time," the young man answered, his expression very serious, which made Chu Lingwei's heart skip a beat.
He wouldn't be treating her as a plaything to pass the time, would he?
"Aren't Nine-tailed Ice Fish alive?"
"It doesn't count," the young man shook his head, paused for a moment, and then added, "You can speak, it can't."
As expected, this young man was probably too lonely here and wanted to find someone to talk to.
It was estimated that it would be difficult for her to leave here.
"You really don't remember who you are?" Chu Lingwei sized up the person in front of her. She didn't sense any spiritual energy from him, but at this moment, he was floating in mid-air, likely a wisp of remnant soul.
A remnant soul that could live for ten thousand years, with its form so well preserved, must have been extraordinary in life.
"Do you know why you are still here?"
"I am not a remnant soul, nor am I a wisp of obsession left here by someone else," the young man seemed to see Chu Lingwei's thoughts and explained to her, "I believe that before long, I will be resurrected."
Chu Lingwei couldn't help but shiver. Resurrection?
Even great cultivators at the Dominator realm who perished wouldn't dare to say such a thing.
"Really?" Chu Lingwei forced a smile.
"Yes, I have a premonition that I will be resurrected soon," the young man nodded. Each nod expressed a determined and affirmative attitude to Chu Lingwei.
"What's your name?" Chu Lingwei swallowed, analyzing in her heart how much chance she had of escaping from the person before her.
"I don't know."
Chu Lingwei thought it made sense. After ten thousand years, she would have forgotten what she should have forgotten, and her name might have been forgotten too.
For a moment, they fell into silence.
"Lingwei, quickly seize this time and catch more Nine-tailed Ice Fish for us," Yu Qinghong said through a telepathic message to Chu Lingwei, looking at the Nine-tailed Ice Fish in the space that had adapted to the environment, very happily.
No reply.
"Lingwei?"
Still no reply.
"Lingwei, Lingwei, can't you hear my voice?" Yu Qinghong's face turned serious. He looked at the Nine-tailed Ice Fish in the river and thought to himself, "Could Lingwei be in danger?"
Chu Lingwei stood on the flying artifact, her gaze meeting the man floating in the air.
An hour had passed. The man in front of her hadn't said a word. He just watched quietly, his eyes full of curiosity, his gaze never leaving any part of Chu Lingwei's face.
"Don't you want to catch Nine-tailed Ice Fish anymore?" Finally, the young man spoke. Chu Lingwei had been here for many days, all for catching Nine-tailed Ice Fish. Why had she stopped now?
"I do."
Chu Lingwei's mouth twitched. She had fallen to this point, and catching Nine-tailed Ice Fish could at least provide some comfort.
Thinking of Grandpa Yu, who was waiting to eat in the space, Chu Lingwei suddenly realized that he was actually living a very happy life, eating the best delicacies in the world without lifting a finger.
Actually, she was the most miserable one.
"I'll take you," the young man nodded and floated directly to Chu Lingwei's side. The flying artifact beneath their feet sped forward like an arrow.
Chu Lingwei was shocked. How could this person control her flying artifact? She stood beside him and didn't sense any spiritual energy.
"Senior, how can you activate my flying artifact?" kuAiδugg
When a cultivator buys a magic artifact, the first thing they do is make the artifact recognize them as its master, so that their artifact can only be controlled by them.
If someone tries to steal another's magic artifact, the first thing they will do is try to erase the original owner's mark and re-recognize a new master before it can be used.
But now, the flying artifact beneath Chu Lingwei had not had its mark forcibly erased, yet he could use her artifact, which was simply unbelievable.
"Don't call me senior." The young man heard Chu Lingwei's address. He didn't know what "senior" meant, but he disliked the appellation very much.
"What should I call you then?" Chu Lingwei's face darkened. The appellation wasn't the most important thing, was it?
The young man thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember his real name. He looked at Chu Lingwei beside him and said, "Help me pick a name."
Chu Lingwei's eyes widened. What? What did he hear?
"Help me pick a name," the young man thought this idea was very good and nodded with satisfaction, his icy eyes looking at Chu Lingwei, awaiting her name.
"I don't think I should, do I?" Chu Lingwei was somewhat unwilling.
"Very good, hurry up and help me pick a name." The young man didn't detect the refusal in Chu Lingwei's words and repeated himself.
Chu Lingwei racked her brain. Seeing the man standing beside her, with his feet on the ground, as if he were flying in the air, she said, "How about, call me Ru Feng?"
"Ru Feng?"
The young man repeatedly uttered the words "Ru Feng."
"Good, from now on, I'll be called Ru Feng." Ru Feng's face finally revealed a faint smile. From now on, he was also a person with a name.
Ru Feng was very happy, and his tone towards Chu Lingwei was no longer as cold as before. "Just ahead, there's a Nine-tailed Profound Fish."
"Is it here?" Chu Lingwei tried to make the flying artifact fly to the riverbank, and her heart was even more confused. She could still drive her flying artifact as before, so how did he do it just now?
"Yes, you can fish here."
Ru Feng nodded and sat on the edge of the artifact, mimicking Chu Lingwei's fishing posture from before.
