Aunt Fiona is still as enthusiastic as ever, and this has never changed since the first time she met Luo Ling.
Even though more than ten years have passed, Luo Ling is no longer the same as before, but judging from the current situation...
In Fiona's eyes, she has always been the same as before.
Luo Ling enjoyed Aunt Fiona's tenderness until Fiona reluctantly let go of her embrace, stepped back a few steps, and said with a smile,
"I'm sorry, Miss Luo Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm bound to be a little excited."
"fine."
Luo Ling shook his head, looking calm.
However, when she looked up at Fiona, she was surprised to find that her temples were stained with a little gray, and she couldn't help but exclaimed,
"Aunt Fiona, you..."
But when the words came to her lips, she found it difficult to say them.
As a woman, she knows very well that the aging appearance is the most difficult thing to talk about.
Fiona was very perceptive and knew Luo Ling very well. Even though Luo Ling didn't say it out loud, she understood why she was shocked. She just chuckled and said,
"Miss Luo Ling, you may have forgotten that I am... just an ordinary person, and I have already reached the age where I should grow old."
The reason is not just that. Fiona has always done her best for Victoria, which is the real reason why she looks a little old.
Fiona's strength was actually considered to be among the best when Victoria was still in the blockade period, but after she tore through the Guardian of Transformation, her strength was no longer impressive enough.
Even the company director "Young Man", who has become a half-wasted person, has chosen to embark on a path of being gradually replaced by the will of "Xing Tian" in order to gain a powerful force far beyond his previous strength, but Fiona has not changed much.
Fiona's most proud talent lies in forging sacrificial vessels. Even the sacrificial vessel "Eye of Fear, Filth and Jealousy" that allows Elsa to communicate with the mysterious gods was made by her.
This was certainly due to Elsa's own reasons, but if Fiona's forging skills had not reached the corresponding level, it would also be a fantasy.
Lu Fangling, who is almost the same age and strength as Fiona, is now called Old Lady Lu. She still maintains the appearance of a middle-aged beauty, which is considered to be quite well maintained.
But... compared to everyone else in "Home", Fiona is already far behind.
It is also very simple to solve this problem.
Even if Luo Ling had not become a god, the level he was at ten years ago was still quite simple.
Maybe even... Luo Ling doesn't even need to take any action.
"So, Miss Luo Ling, am I qualified to accept your gift now?" Fiona looked at Luo Ling with a hint of anticipation in her expression.
This was not the first time Fiona asked such a question, but last time Luo Ling rejected her after careful consideration.
It was only because Luo Ling did not understand the true nature of weirdness and gods at that time, and was worried that unforeseen problems might arise. Unless it was necessary, she would not spread the power of weirdness and gods to other people.
Of course, things are different now.
Before Luo Ling could answer, Alyssa next to him spoke first, with a gentle voice and a faint smile.
"Aunt Fiona has been waiting for you. She even refused to help Miss Lina and insisted on waiting for you to come back."
"After all, Miss Luo Ling promised me that she would grant me the gift of God when the time is right."
After being exposed by Alyssa, Fiona was not angry, but looked at Luo Ling meaningfully, with some complicated emotions flowing in her eyes.
"this... "
Luo Ling had not expected this to be the case. She did not attach much importance to the so-called blessing, nor did she think it was a great honor. Everything was based on practical considerations.
In her experience in the "legendary" land, she bestowed blessings on the veterans who were suffering from the wounds of ghosts and gods, and was even named "Goddess of the Nine Heavens".
But judging from the current situation, Aunt Fiona probably feels that she is not considered one of her own...
Now even Luo Ling felt that he was deeply sinful.
"There's no such thing as qualifications, Aunt Fiona. You can come anytime you want." Luo Ling said quickly, "I'll bless you now!"
It was not a difficult task to bless Aunt Fiona. After pondering for a while, Luo Ling chose the most suitable path for Fiona, which was the "Dream Travel" - "Black Nightmare" path that was now under Elsa's control.
In an instant, Fiona's figure became a little blurred, with a sense of beautiful and dreamy beauty. In Fiona's vision, her world underwent irreversible changes. It seemed as if she was dreaming, but she could perceive it all clearly, and was in a state between half asleep and half awake.
At the same time, the slight signs of aging on Fiona's face were directly eliminated, and it could even be said that she returned to her youthful appearance.
If she stood next to Lina, you wouldn't be able to tell that she was Lina's mother, and would just think they were sisters - of course, Fiona could at least be the older sister, because apart from her temperament, she was also superior to Lina in some aspects.
The blessing did not last long, and Fiona soon came out of this state and regained her sense of existence in the real world.
She looked at her hands in disbelief, and could clearly feel that they were completely different from before. Even without looking in the mirror, she could feel that she had become much younger in an instant.
"Ms. Luo Ling, what strange power did I obtain?"
Fiona murmured softly, looking up at Luo Ling in confusion.
"Neither one, this is tailor-made for you." Luo Ling replied.
“…Is this possible?” Fiona showed a surprised expression. This kind of blessing was unheard of for her.
"I am a god now, so I can still do this." Luo Ling crossed his arms, with a slightly proud look on his face, "You will realize the benefits of this later."
"Is that so?" Fiona looked at Luo Ling thoughtfully. She had almost figured out what Luo Ling meant, so a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "By the way, should I kneel down first and perform some formalities to thank Lord Luo Ling for his gift?"
"Aunt Fiona, please stop teasing me..."
Luo Ling was slightly worried. She knew that Aunt Fiona had only said a few words, but if this situation really happened, she would not let Aunt Fiona kneel on the ground even if she had to dig the ground dry.
Even when her statue was worshipped as the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady", Luo Ling was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to slip away, not to mention Aunt Fiona, who was one of her closest people.
"hehe... "
Fiona enjoyed watching Luo Ling's slightly embarrassed look, but soon, her expression softened a little.
She walked closer to Luo Ling and hugged Luo Ling again, but this time her movements were much gentler.
"No matter what... Miss Luo Ling, I am very grateful to you. You saved my life. In fact... even if I become your puppet, I don't care."
This was the first time Luo Ling declined Fiona's request for blessing. At that time, Luo Ling was not sure whether becoming her God's Chosen One or God's Favored One would tie them to the position of the sequence and gradually become her puppet.
However, Fiona didn't care about these risks from the beginning. After learning about the conspiracy of the "company" in the past and the betrayal she had suffered, when she saw her daughter coming back with her own eyes, she had already determined that the rest of her life... would belong only to Miss Luo Ling. This was a favor that she could never repay even if she became a slave.
Luo Ling raised his head slightly, and seeing the crystal and moisture in Fiona's eyes, he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
"The puppet is no match for Aunt Fiona right now."
Fiona was slightly stunned, but she couldn't help laughing.
"We haven't seen each other for a while, but Miss Luo Ling has grown up a bit and occasionally says a few nice words."
"I've never been that young." Luo Ling snorted.
After resolving the knot in her heart about not being blessed by Luo Ling, Fiona looked a lot more relaxed, and even the smile on her face looked particularly bright.
But soon, Luo Ling asked Fiona a soul-searching question.
"But, Aunt Fiona, why did I die again? This time it was you who said I was dead." Luo Ling tilted his head slightly, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone.
She had "died" inexplicably many times and was now somewhat numb, but that didn't mean she didn't have any resentment.
"This is not just my decision, Miss Luo Ling." Fiona said with a smile without any embarrassment, "It was a decision made by everyone in the 'Homeland' through a joint vote, and only Miss Chi Nu voted against it."
It wasn’t because Chi Nu couldn’t accept Luo Ling’s “death”, it was because she had waited much longer than anyone else present. Even Luo Ling’s second departure had taken thirty years, and after that it had lasted hundreds and thousands of years…
Therefore, the years that Luo Ling was missing were just like a nap for her, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.
However, the situation in the outside world has changed. The relationship between the "White Witch" and Luo Ling has been completely exposed, attracting a lot of attention.
You know, the deeds of the "White Witch" are well-known in the two places of origin. What's more important is that the "White Witch" can replace the ability of Sequence.
Before Luo Ling was exposed, even if people wanted to track down the "White Witch", they had no idea where to start. But since people knew that Luo Ling was the manipulator of the "White Witch", Luo Ling's past in Victoria was dug out and is still being explored in depth. The impact is immeasurable.
Therefore, in order to temporarily ease all this, Fiona could only announce the death of "White Witch" and "Luo Ling", and then disguise the details of the sequence position through some operations.
And there was a faint rumor that the "White Witch" died from the backlash of the sequence, just like the philosopher in the past.
The undercurrents of various forces gradually subsided, but the "White Witch" was passed down as a legendary anecdote worthy of discussion.
After hearing the whole story, Luo Ling felt confused. She was well aware of the troubles and headaches these forces caused, but just like her ascended mother, handling these matters was not Luo Ling's forte.
In the past, the transformation was able to smoothly advance her plan because of Naya's assistance. It should be said that although Naya is sometimes annoying, she is much more reliable than the mother of the transformation...
Once Naaa's help was gone, Mother Transcendence was persecuted by the gods in Valhalla and turned into "Doomsday". It has to be said that this was indeed an unpredictable result.
The lesson of Valhalla made Tusheng not personally participate in the affairs of the three places of origin in the following time. He only appeared as a mysterious character.
Obviously, Luo Ling has the same shortcomings, but unlike her transformed mother, she not only has her second mother Naya, but also everyone in the "home".
Even the most powerful force in the Great Xia Imperial City, the Xuanyuan Family, is her good ally. Luo Ling is indeed much better than Tuisheng's mother in terms of interpersonal communication.
Therefore, Luo Ling does not need to worry about these things at all. Her only responsibility is to ensure that this imperfect but still beautiful world can continue to survive the "doomsday" disaster.
"Xuanyuan family..."
When Luo Ling heard Fiona mention this name, he suddenly felt a little emotional.
Luo Ling had dealt with the Xuanyuan family many times before, but he always appeared as "Wu Ying".
However, Xuanyuan Linglong gradually realized Luo Ling's identity, and both parties just tacitly kept the truth from each other.
In the final battle against the Messenger of Doom, the Xuanyuan Family also made a lot of efforts. Without them, Luo Ling would have to spend more effort to completely defeat the Messenger of Doom, and there might be more variables.
"Sister Linglong often mentions you." Fiona said with a smile, "Miss Luo Ling is really popular wherever she goes, especially among mothers."
Hearing this, Luo Ling was silent for a while, because she knew that this seemed to be a fact that was difficult to refute...
Is this some kind of congenital daughter's holy body
But then again, Luo Ling was born out of the will of the Star Civilization to struggle when the end of the world came. It does sound a bit like the daughter of the whole nation...
Luo Ling quickly shook his head and put this terrible possibility behind him. Then he came to his senses and immediately said righteously,
"That's not true. She and I are just pure partners."
"Really? Haha... Sister Linglong didn't say that."
Fiona just smiled, with deep meaning in her words.
Luo Ling felt uncomfortable being looked at by Fiona with inexplicable and meaningful eyes. After a slight shudder, she said,
"Okay, I admit that it's closer than a cooperative relationship. Sister Linglong is really nice to me..."
This didn't sound strange, but in Fiona's ears, the emphasis was different. She narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Why do you call her sister and me aunt? She is much older than me."
"Aunt Fiona, you forgot that you were the one who wanted to address her like that... Besides, Sister Linglong does look younger than you."
Luo Ling blurted out the answer immediately, but she soon realized that something was wrong.
So, before Fiona could react, her figure immediately disappeared, leaving only the last sentence,
"I'm going to walk around outside for a few more rounds, say hello to everyone else, and I'll be home soon!"
Fiona even showed an angry expression, but unfortunately Luo Ling ran too fast. She just sighed helplessly, and then slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
In fact, Fiona didn't care about appearance, age, and the like. It was just that if she showed some concern in front of Miss Luo Ling, Miss Luo Ling would always have some cute reactions that she never got tired of watching. Alyssa, who was standing next to her, had a faint smile on her face. She watched the whole thing, and only after Luo Ling left did she chuckle and say,
"Ms. Fiona, let's go home first.
"We have to give it to Miss Luo Ling who has been away from home for a long time. It should be an unexpected surprise."
Fiona looked at Alyssa in surprise. She saw that Alyssa still had the same holy smile as always, like the Virgin Mary, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"I didn't expect that Her Highness the Saint would actually have a dark side."
"Haha...if you say so, then so be it."
After escaping from Victoria in a rather hasty manner, Luo Ling's next stop was the place of origin, the Great Xia Imperial City, the territory of the Xuanyuan family, and the "Ruins of Kunlun".
When Luo Ling first arrived at the "Ruins of Kunlun", her demeanor was not very elegant. She came here with Yue Jian and others to secretly plot against the ancestral tomb of the Xuanyuan family. A lot of things did happen during that time, and it was also the first time she saw Chi Nu... But for Chi Nu, she had been waiting for countless years in endless loneliness, so much so that she looked crazy.
Now returning to the "Ruins of Kunlun", nothing seems to have changed much.
Luo Ling once left a "Black Oriole" doll in the Xuanyuan family. She could sense that it had been well preserved by the Xuanyuan family over the years.
She sensed it slightly and contacted the Wuying puppet, then took a step forward and instantly appeared next to the Wuying puppet.
In an instant, Luo Ling's attention was completely taken away by the surrounding scenery.
This is an endless sea of smoky purple flowers. When the breeze blows gently, the purple beads flowers on the skyline surge like a tide. Even the knowledgeable Luo Ling was stopped in place by this beautiful scene.
In this endless sea of flowers, a blue-haired girl sat upright on a chair with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was taking a nap. She almost blended into the surrounding sea of flowers and was difficult to distinguish.
