"What's up?"
Luo Ling blurted out, but soon he had a strong premonition that he seemed to be in trouble again.
"During this time, take care of Chi Nu for me." Yao Ji rubbed Chi Nu's hair and whispered, "I... have a reason to leave, at least for the next period of time."

Chapter 114 Farewell (5k5)
Faced with Yao Ji's request, Luo Ling did not agree immediately.
Although she didn't dislike the naked woman, she still felt that it was irresponsible to dump such a burden on her without any reason.
"My departure has something to do with you." Yao Ji seemed to see what Luo Ling was thinking and said softly, "There are some things I need to verify, so it's not good to bring Chi Nu with me."
"If that's the case, then Akane... I don't need to take care of her, right?"
Luo Ling glanced at the dirty girl squatting on the ground. With Chi Nu's ability, there would be no problem for her to be independent.
Yao Ji hesitated for a moment and did not speak directly, but told Luo Ling through voice transmission.
"The Red Girl has the talent of a 'ghost or god'."
Hearing this, Luo Ling's pupils shrank slightly, but she quickly understood.
They are born with a physique that is close to the "doomsday" path. Most doomsday messengers are like this, including Xuanyuan'e.
With the right opportunity and a certain amount of stimulation, one can embark on the path to "doomsday".
This is no small matter, especially in a place so plagued by the apocalypse.
Once the true identity of the red woman is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In fact, the most effective way to eliminate the trouble permanently is to kill the Red Girl directly, so as to prevent her from embarking on the "doomsday" path and causing greater disasters.
However, for some reason, Yao Ji never seemed to have such thoughts.
Yao Ji looked at Luo Ling nervously. In fact, she was unsure in her heart. She really didn't know how Luo Ling would react after knowing this.
Anyone who has the potential to become a "ghost or god" can be killed. Basically, they will be considered as the minions of ghosts or gods. Even if they are not now, they will definitely be in the future, because there have been too many examples.
Those who possess the potential of being "ghosts and gods" will become extensions of ghosts and gods when they attack, and will continue to spread the great terror of ghosts and gods.
Even though these old soldiers in the camp love Chi Nu very much and treat her like their granddaughter, they would not hesitate to attack her if they knew her true identity.
To Yao Ji's surprise, after hearing the news, the fairy lady did not show any expression of shock or surprise. Instead, she fell into deep thought, as if she was considering something.
"I understand." Luo Ling nodded, "But I can't guarantee that I can protect her."
What she meant was that there was no guarantee that after Akagi would awaken, she would embark on the path of "doomsday".
Yao Ji heard the hidden meaning in her words and said with a wry smile,
"If such a day really comes, it will be her fate."
"No need," Akane pouted and muttered, "I can definitely take care of myself!"
"hehe... "
Yao Ji just smiled and said nothing.
"Before you leave, these should be what you need." Yao Ji handed a jade slip to Luo Ling, and then said, "Many of the records inside are secrets, including Qiewu's biography... and Chi Nu."
"Hmm?" Chi Nu was unhappy when she heard it. She didn't care what was inside this broken thing, but Yao Ji said it deliberately, which made her dissatisfied, "Why can't I see it!"
"Do you understand?" Yao Ji asked back.
"Of course I don't understand."
The Chinu looked a little listless again. She had been living in the wilderness since she could remember. She couldn't read a single word and was definitely a complete idiot.
"When you can understand it, I will ask the fairy to give you the jade slip." Yao Ji said happily.
"Then forget it."
When Chi Nu thought of this, she felt a headache.
It’s not that Yao Ji didn’t teach her to read, but she just couldn’t learn it no matter what. After torturing her for a long time, she finally gave up.
When Chi Nu thought of the pain she had experienced during that time, her brows became tightly furrowed and couldn't relax.
Luo Ling took the jade slip, and as soon as her fingertips touched it, countless words flooded into her mind.
Although these characters were strange and extremely primitive, Luo Ling, who had read through the files of the Great Xia Imperial City, could still barely decipher them.
Most of them happened during the war between ghosts and gods. It seemed that Luo Ling's ignorance and concern about the war last time made Yao Ji see through her thoughts.
However, compared to the course of the war, Luo Ling was more concerned about something else.
"It has been more than two thousand years since the end of the great war between demons and gods?"
Until now, there have only been smaller-scale invasions by ghosts and gods, but they have still caused a lot of disasters, and the veterans stationed in the abandoned city were injured as a result.
However, when seeing this number, Luo Ling couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
It was not because Yao Ji was more than two thousand years old, which was an ancient age that could be called the ancestor of the ancestor, but this long number reminded her of the time node when the Great Xia Imperial City was "transformed" and broken.
According to the general records of the Xuanyuan family, this story happened about 3,000 years ago. Even for the chosen ones of the Great Xia Imperial City who had their lifespans extended because they took the path of belonging to the gods, 3,000 years was still a long time.
"If this is actually a time node about a thousand years ago, the time when the Great Xia Imperial City was "transformed" and shattered and the moment when the large-scale war between ghosts and gods ended seem to be... the same?"
This guess emerged in Luo Ling's mind. Although it sounded a bit unrelated, it was not an unfounded guess.
The reason why the "Metamorphosis" protection left by the former Metamorphosis Mother can last for a very long period of time is not because it completely keeps "Doomsday" out, but because it weakens the impact of "Doomsday" in another way.
The short-lived Columbia was different, and Valhalla Luo Ling was not very familiar with it, but in Victoria, where she had experienced the most, the method used to fight against "doomsday" was the collapse of boundaries.
Through continuous cycles and continuous recovery, when the power of "doomsday" is about to come, it can be recovered to a certain point in time to avoid even more terrible disasters.
Victoria survived countless years relying on this system, but this system is not omnipotent.
The annihilation of boundaries that occurs from time to time is a precursor to the collapse of the system.
In fact, before the final war between the Pioneers and the Company began, more than 60% of the boundaries had been completely destroyed. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before they completely collapsed.
By then, it would not be as simple as breaking the "transformation" and facing the real horror, but merging into one with the endless nothingness silently.
There are few records of the Great Xia Imperial City before its "transformation" protection was broken, but one thing is certain, there was no trace of any "doomsday".
The destruction of "Metamorphosis" was a sudden event, and then the minions of "Doomsday" invaded, and the two emperors appeared and died.
"If the essence of 'Legend' is that it is a place outside the boundary that appeared to counter the 'Doomsday'..."
Luo Ling muttered to himself, vaguely realizing that this might be the truth about the "transformation" of the Great Xia Imperial City, its place of origin.
It was the "Legend" that blocked all the disasters for the "present world" until it could no longer hold on, and the "Metamorphosis" guarding against the coming of "Doomsday" finally collapsed.
After the "Metamorphosis" protection was broken, the "legend" war between ghosts and gods ended, and only some smaller-scale invasions remained.
Yao Ji's second sister, the Empress Cixi, is now the leader of the Imperial Alliance. She sits deep in the wilderness, ready to guard against the resurgence of the evil spirits and gods at any time.
After just a cursory glance at the contents of the jade slip, Luo Ling couldn't help but feel a headache, mainly because the amount of information was a bit too much. Yao Ji was really impolite and recorded almost all the details she knew in this jade slip.
By the time Luo Ling came to her senses, the sky around her had darkened a little, and Chi Nu was squatting beside her, staring at her intently.
Seeing that Luo Ling finally put away the jade slip, Chi Nu spoke up,
"Sister Fairy, you finally woke up."
"What's the matter, Chi Nu?" Luo Ling asked.
Chi Nu pointed to the side and said,
"They have been kneeling for a long time."
Luo Ling followed Chi Nu's instructions and looked over. His face changed and he quickly walked over to help the kneeling veteran captain up.
"Just call me, I was just distracted."
“No, no, my lady, just wait a moment.
The veteran captain said respectfully, then stepped aside, bent down slightly and said,
"My lady, we have made a shrine for your statue. Would you be satisfied?"
Luo Ling cast a glance over and instantly revealed a strange expression.
I saw several old soldiers carrying a small sedan chair covered with animal skins. I could vaguely see her statue inside.
I have to say, watching this scene... Luo Ling really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But seeing the eager eyes of the veterans, thinking that it took a lot of effort to build this shrine, Luo Ling was too embarrassed to say that it was not necessary, so he could only nod.
"Yeah, very good."
"Thank you, my lady."
The old soldier was about to kneel down again, and Luo Ling quickly said,
"Are you guys about to set off?"
"Yes." The veteran captain nodded slightly and said, "Brothers, we don't want to delay any longer. We only want to die for the people. If we can be liberated by the queen before we die, it will be a great blessing. When we think of other comrades who are still suffering, we can't wait any longer.
"In that case, I wish you good luck."
Luo Ling sighed secretly. There was not much she could do for these people, and now it was already her limit.
"Thank you, my lady."
This time, the veterans finally knelt down before Luo Ling stopped them, and kowtowed several times.
Luo Ling watched this scene in silence, and ultimately said nothing more.
Watching these sick and old bodies gradually disappear into the distance, Luo Ling had a myriad of thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't utter a word.
However, her sentimentality was soon interrupted by the words of the girl next to her.
"Luo Ling, what shall we eat tonight
Yao Ji and the old soldiers had already left, so Chi Nu directly called out Luo Ling's real name.
Now Chi Nu’s ability is not yet to the point of not eating anything, and she has the qualifications to face "doomsday", so Yao Ji dare not let her come into contact with any magical powers, for fear that she might accidentally trigger the corresponding insights and become a minion of ghosts and gods.
"Sister Yao Ji and grandpa and grandma are gone, don't you feel anything?" Luo Ling glanced at Chi Nu and found that this girl still had no expression on her face as before, as if the departure of Yao Ji and the old soldiers had little impact on her.
"Isn't Sister Yaoji busy?" Chi Nu asked curiously, "Grandpa and grandma seem very happy too, do I need to feel anything?"
..”
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.
only... ..
"Am I the adult or are you the adult? I always feel like you're still a child. It's just a trivial matter. You might as well think about what to eat tonight." Chi Nu waved her hand and squatted down again.
"I think I said I'm not yet... That's all, you just don't understand."
Luo Ling shook her head. The name she gave was indeed correct. Chi Nu did have a sincere heart.
but...
Luo Ling looked Chi Nu up and down, and suddenly thought of something, and said,
"How about, Akane, take a bath?"
I have to say that although it can be seen from her figure that Chi Nu is definitely a little beauty, unfortunately she is not only dirty, but her clothes are also tattered.
Judging from Yao Ji's personality, she would definitely not deliberately be harsh on Chi Nu. It must be this girl's nature.
I'm afraid that the nice clothes Yao Ji gave her would become tattered in a few days...
"But I just took a bath three months ago." Chi Nu frowned.
"?'
Luo Ling typed a question mark.
She did remember that Akane had said before that she had taken a bath not long ago, but who would have thought that this "not long ago" was actually three months!
As a southerner, Luo Ling used to feel uncomfortable if he didn't take a shower two or three times a day in such bad weather.
