Chapter 75: Journey Through Time
The journey to find Pirate King Luo Bei had ended.
Although the final outcome had some twists and turns, the task assigned by Princess Xing was considered to have been completed satisfactorily. The girls seemed happy, and as promised, the Heart Connection was to be delivered to Princess Xing as a report.
However…
Princess Xing shook her head and refused to accept the treasure. “No need, such a dangerous thing. I won’t be holding it.”
“Princess Xing, you don’t need to worry. That situation before was just an accident. If used properly, it can unleash very powerful forces.”
“Haha, I don’t have the confidence to control it. Knowing what treasures Pirate King Luo Bei stored is enough to satisfy me… Ah, of course, I will still pay the agreed-upon reward. This Heart Connection, you can handle it yourselves.”
…
Since Princess Xing did not accept the treasure, the Heart Connection became the girls’ weapon.
However, Lonis always felt that Princess Xing had something left unsaid, and the matter was not so simple… After all, when she invited the girls to find the treasure, she was so enthusiastic, but now she seemed so indifferent.
And if that was the case…
Trickster Demon found the girls and made such a suggestion: “Well, as training to return to a thousand years ago, why don’t you try going back a dozen years or so first?”
“A dozen years ago? Can you do it now?”
“Yes, the mystery of this treasure hasn’t been fully unraveled yet. Aren’t you curious about what happened?”
“Wuwu! (Of course I’m curious, but Siria, can you take us back to the past now?)”
“Hehe, of course I can? After all, this is also a link in the Chain of Time. How about it, are you ready? My magic power is abundant, and I can depart at any time.”
…
…
Things had turned out this way.
Although Lonis didn’t know what Siria’s plan was, Elus agreed to it… And because of this, Lonis prepared to work with Elus to figure out what Trickster Demon was planning.
But it wasn’t just Lonis and Elus. Before they departed, Siria even invited one more person: “Um, Miss Zhisheng Luo, you come too? Although you might not be accustomed to the power of time, you also have the right to know the truth of the matter?”
“The truth of the matter…?”
“Yes, all consequences are already destined. Let us depart together.”

Elus’s power unfolded before the girls, and with a sucking sensation like a black hole, the three were drawn in together.
This was the tunnel of time, and traveling through it was a wondrous thing.
Not only was one’s existence almost ethereal, but the entire world seemed to transform into particles, becoming empty and lost.
In that deep tunnel, one could seem to see many void images, like walking through a museum.
However, for Lonis, this feeling was not unfamiliar. Because when she went to the Dark Abyss before, she had experienced the same feeling.
But compared to that time, this journey was much more comfortable.
Not only was it because Trickster Demon possessed abundant power and had unfolded a shield that could block everything for the girls, but it was also because Elus and Zhisheng Luo were by her side, making Lonis feel not alone at all.
“Wuwu! (Is everyone okay?)”
“Of course, but when we get to the past later, Little Idiot, don’t run around. If anything unexpected happens, I’ll leave you in the past and ignore you.”
“Got it! Huh… I, I can speak?”
Suddenly being able to speak made Lonis pause.
“Of course you can speak, because you now… Hmph, never mind.”
Although Siria wanted to explain something, the tunnel that traversed time seemed to have reached its destination.
So Trickster Demon just flicked her finger, broke open a path to the outside in the void, and said excitedly, “Haha, get ready to welcome those journeys of the past!”

“What pirate king’s treasure, it sounds like a joke.”
“Exactly, exactly. If it really existed, wouldn’t it have been found long ago? How is it possible that it hasn’t been discovered yet.”
“It’s just something to trick children with, like Santa Claus!”
…
…
Under a beautiful rock garden, several little girls were discussing loudly. The clothes they wore were very gorgeous, making them look like girls from wealthy families.
And opposite them stood a girl with light-colored beautiful hair.
She had her hair in pigtails, and her exquisite face revealed a hint of tranquil beauty.
But at this moment, she was angrily puffing out her cheeks and seriously retorting, “No, it absolutely exists! Zhisheng Luo told me it does!!! It just hasn’t been discovered because the destined person hasn’t been found yet!”
“Huh? Zhisheng Luo… you can’t believe what that person says.”
“Exactly, exactly. She plays with boys all day, she must have picked up the bad habit of bragging! I, for one, don’t believe what she says.”
(Zhisheng Luo?!)
(Could it be…)
Seeing this scene, Lonis paused, seemingly guessing the girl’s identity.
And Senior Zhisheng Luo, as if remembering something, murmured, “That… that person is Xinglu. She was like this when she was little, but she actually believes what I say so much?”
“Is it the childhood of Princess Xinglu?”
“Yes, and the other children who mocked Xinglu are also well-known young ladies from Nile Port… They all have good upbringing, I didn’t expect them to be so mischievous when they were young…”
Zhisheng Luo’s expression was somewhat subtle, and Elus nodded, comfortingly explaining, “Children are all like this, aren’t they? Those people were just playing with Xinglu, not bullying her.”
“Yes, I can see that, but…”
…
…
Little Xinglu tried to prove to her companions that the treasure really existed, but the more she explained, the less they believed her. In the end, that little loli stomped her foot and said angrily, “It… it definitely exists! You guys just watch, I will definitely find the treasure for you!”
“Ah? You little idiot, you won’t give up until you see the Yellow River?”
“Hmph, if I find it, I won’t share the treasure with you! Pfft, you big stupid dogs.”
“What big stupid dogs, Xinglu, you’re the big stupid deer.”
“Damn it, we’ll see!”
After saying that, Little Xinglu turned around and ran away.
…
…
Although she didn’t know what Little Xinglu was going to do, Zhisheng Luo inexplicably felt a sense of worry in her heart.
She looked at Siria and said, “Princess Siria, can we follow Xinglu?”
“I’m afraid she might do something bad because of impulse…”
“Um, of course. But later, don’t you show up rashly and break the causal chain of time, okay?”
“The causal chain of time?”
“Because everything that happened has already happened. So, follow me to the back mountain, and you will understand everything.”
Siria nodded and floated forward.
