Chapter 24: New CluesXiao Jinqi ran excitedly to Yan Yuheng's side, unable to contain his joy.Yan Yuheng pulled him into his embrace, carefully savoring the warmth of his touch.Seeing him cough up blood earlier had tightened Yan Yuheng's heart. If any accident had occurred just now, he would have lost him forever. He absolutely did not want such an accident to happen.He needed to work harder and become stronger to protect the person he cherished.This also accelerated his desire to leave the Secret Realm sooner. Although the Secret Realm was not lacking in Spiritual Power, it lacked opportunities. The Demonic Beasts here were no longer a match for him. Without practical combat experience, his path forward would become increasingly difficult.A warm teardrop fell onto the ear of the person in his arms, and he instinctively reached out to wipe it away."Brother Heng, what's wrong? Are you crying?""It's nothing, I'm just too happy." He didn't want to voice his worries and add to his troubles.Xiao Jinqi roughly understood his thoughts, sensing his unease but not knowing how to comfort him. He couldn't say that he had a System, and he had only accumulated 1500 Points so far."Brother Heng, don't worry, we'll find a way." He reached out and cupped the tall man's face, taking in his sharp, deep features. Those profound eyes were focused intently on him, and within the dark pupils, his own reflection was mirrored. He greedily wished that this person's eyes would forever hold only him.The handsome face before him gradually drew closer, and a warm sensation spread from his forehead, slowly moving downward.He was responding to his care and concern.Lips and tongues met, breaths intertwined, inseparable.…The forgotten third wheel secretly stuck out its tongue in the corner."Master, so shameless~" Who would have thought the Small Spirit Entity would have a young boy's voice!"You little thing, what do you know!" Xiao Jinqi tapped its head."Master, don't worry, I'm here too! I have a way to help you both get out!""Really? That's great! What is it? Also, since I've contracted you, will this Spirit Vein continue to produce Spiritual Qi?""Wherever I am, Spiritual Qi will be generated.""So, if I take you away, the Spiritual Qi here will stop, right?""Yes, but I can choose where to release Spiritual Qi. You can continue cultivating here if you want.""Then why did you choose to contract with me? Also, do you have your own name? And what is the method to leave that you mentioned earlier?""Wow, Master, you have so many questions! Which one should I answer first?" The Small Spirit Entity scratched its head."I remember when I had just grown to the Chaos Stage, someone often came to see me. He would call me Xiao Ling'er over and over again. Besides that person, it's just you two. Since you were the first person I saw when I opened my eyes, I contracted with you. As for the method to leave, I need to find something that person left behind.""That person?" Yan Yuheng seized on the key point."Mhm, he didn't tell me his name. Our spiritual bodies awaken in three stages. First is the Initial Awakening Stage, where we can only breathe instinctively and spend most of our time asleep. Then comes the Chaos Stage, where we can understand simple words and sense our surroundings. After that is the Spiritual Resonance Stage, which is my current state—I have all five senses and can communicate simply with my master. Finally, there's the Transformation Stage, when I can take human form just like my master.""Then we'll still call you Xiao Ling'er.""Brother Heng, do you think that person might be Senior Ling Yuan?""Hmm, it's very possible. But there's one puzzling point: if it were Senior Ling Yuan, that would have been about ten thousand years ago. Xiao Ling'er, are you ten thousand years old?" Yan Yuheng crossed his arms thoughtfully."I don't remember how old I am either, because I spent a very long time asleep.""Then where did he say he left the thing?""He said I could find it by following my heart's intuition.""Do you want to try sensing it?""Ah, I already tried just now—there doesn't seem to be anything here.""Then where could it be?" Xiao Jinqi struck the same thoughtful pose with crossed arms."Since we have no leads, let's go back and think about it. The little one will probably be worried if he doesn't see us for so long," Yan Yuheng suggested."Mhm, let's go."
