Chapter 424 - This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [424]

Luo Qing lightly tapped the tip of his foot against the ground and leapt from the cliff, landing in front of Elynas's heart.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

He placed his hand on the massive stone, closed his eyes, and focused his intent to sense any trace of life within.

But the heart, which had long since died, showed no signs of vitality. It truly seemed like nothing more than a giant stone shaped like a heart.

Just as Lumine had said, the heart was lifeless.

Behind him, Lumine also descended quietly, coming to stand by his side.

"Luo Qing, Elynas..."

She knew Luo Qing had a peculiar ability to reforge physical bodies for lingering souls.

Though Elynas had brought disaster to Fontaine in the past, it had been under the influence of a disturbed mind. Its true nature was gentle and kind.

If possible, she hoped Elynas could live again.

What Lumine didn't know was that Luo Qing no longer possessed any Seeds of Nirvana. Even if Elynas's soul still lingered, he had no means to bring it back.

"Just as you said," Luo Qing muttered, shaking his head. "There's no trace of life left—it's completely dead."

"..."

Lumine fell silent, the faint hope in her heart extinguished.

"This was where you met it, right?" Luo Qing asked, turning to her. He wasn't ready to give up just yet.

"Yes..." Lumine nodded.

"But at the time, its consciousness reached out to me of its own will..."

"I see..." Luo Qing mused.

If a being dead for centuries could still communicate through sheer will, he doubted its consciousness would dissipate completely in such a short time.

With a thought, he pulled a Void Terminal from his pocket and pressed it against the heart. He connected his consciousness to the Void Network.

"Nahida, can you hear me?"

A moment later, a soft green light coalesced within his consciousness, forming the figure of Nahida.

"Papa, what do you need my help with?"

"Mm," Luo Qing nodded, looking at the petrified heart before him.

"If there's any lingering consciousness left in here, extract it for me and store it in the Void Network temporarily."

"Residual consciousness..." Nahida tilted her head thoughtfully before nodding.

"Leave it to me, Papa," she said sweetly.

Luo Qing withdrew his awareness from the Void Network and focused it on the Void Terminal.

His spiritual energy, like a green branch, extended through the petrified surface of the heart, probing deeper into its core.

With the Void Terminal's aid, Luo Qing sensed a faint power deep within the heart.

It pulsed weakly—each beat fainter than the last.

Luo Qing's spiritual branch touched the fragmented soul. The moment they connected, his energy fused with it, transporting him into a fragile consciousness space.

"Is this..."

Luo Qing looked around the crumbling void, momentarily stunned.

Turning, he saw a peculiar dragon egg resting quietly on a patch of grass before him, radiating faint multicolored light.

Squatting down, he gently touched the egg's shell with his finger, sensing the faintest trace of life within.

"It's still alive..." Luo Qing exhaled in relief.

His intuition had been correct—Elynas's soul hadn't completely disappeared. The Void Network's amplified spiritual energy had allowed him to detect this fragile remnant.

"But it's in no state for a conversation..." Luo Qing murmured, shaking his head. He then spoke softly to the void, "Nahida, extract its residual soul."

"Understood, Papa," came Nahida's voice.

A green light pierced through the consciousness space, enveloping the dragon egg.

The glow intensified, swallowing the egg bit by bit until it vanished entirely.

At the same time, the fragile consciousness space collapsed into nothingness.

"It's done, Papa."

Nahida's small figure appeared again, bathed in emerald light. She cupped her hands, revealing the now-miniature dragon egg resting in her palm.

"Papa, its consciousness has already faded significantly. Even with my power, I can only preserve it temporarily like this."

"Unless it's given a new body, it can't be restored..."

"Understood." Luo Qing nodded softly.

"Nahida, please look after it for now."

"Leave it to me," Nahida said with a sweet smile, her dimples adding to her charm.

"Now, Papa, if there's nothing else, Mama's calling me back."

"Go ahead," Luo Qing said warmly. "Play with her. I'll join you both when I return."

"Mm!"

With a cheerful nod, Nahida's petite form shimmered and disappeared into the light, cradling the egg.

Returning to reality, Luo Qing opened his eyes to find the surroundings eerily quiet, devoid of any trace of Elynas's soul.

"Luo Qing..."

Lumine's concerned voice pulled him back.

"How did it go?"

"I found its soul fragment," Luo Qing said calmly. "But it's far too weak for communication right now."

"I see..." Lumine sighed in relief.

Looks like it's still Luo Qing who always pulls through...

She couldn't help but think of him as a rescue specialist.

If I call him that, I wonder if he'll get mad...

"Alright," Luo Qing said, patting her shoulder with a smile. "Let's head back."

With that, he leapt gracefully back to the cliff above.

"Mm..." Lumine replied softly.

She turned to glance at the petrified heart one last time.

Once a mighty being as grand as a mountain, Elynas had fallen like a beached whale, leaving behind only a faint remnant of its soul.

If I hadn't met Luo Qing...

Perhaps Elynas would have been completely lost forever.

Swimming back, Luo Qing felt unusually content.

This trip had yielded results, and he was in an excellent mood.

If his relationship with Lumine were closer, he might even have hugged her out of excitement. After all, if not for her, he might have wasted days searching with Charlotte, only to find Elynas's heart far too late.

Back on shore, Luo Qing couldn't resist sneaking a few glances at Lumine's figure as they walked.

Together, they headed toward where Charlotte and Paimon were resting.

Before they got close, they overheard Paimon speaking in a conspiratorial tone.

"Charlotte, listen! You really need to be careful around Luo Qing—he already has so many wives!"

Charlotte gasped in shock. "Huh?! W-Why?!"

"Because your Vision is Cryo!"

"What?!"
