The pool was about fifty feet wide and the water was dark green in color. It looked like it was filled with vitality. Waves of shockingly pure energy were continuously emitted from the pool and spread in all directions.
Just by breathing in the air, one would feel as if their entire body had become lighter. Countless cells were cheering in excitement.
"I didn't think that there would be a Spirit Spring here. Hehe … Then I don't have to go deep into the Spirit Veins. Who knows if that old man from the Lu family is guarding there."
Qin Yichen was overjoyed.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you here?"
Just as Qin Yichen was about to step forward, a pleasant child's voice came from behind him.
"Who is it?"
Hearing someone speak, Qin Yichen couldn't help but be shocked. He hurriedly turned around.
To be able to approach him without him noticing, this person was definitely not an ordinary person.
However, after he scanned his surroundings cautiously, he didn't find anyone. Just as he was about to give up and turn around, a sharp pain came from his leg.
"Who told you to ignore me? Annoying person!"
The young child's voice came again.
Because of the pain, Qin Yichen bent down and saw a small figure.
At this moment, there was a little girl around three or four years old standing in front of him. This little girl was wearing Ni Xia clothes. Her facial features could be said to be exquisitely sculpted and incomparably tender. She had a pair of lively big eyes, and at this moment, she was staring at him with a trace of warmth.
When he saw this little girl, Qin Yichen was first stunned. His heart throbbed inexplicably.
He didn't know why, but this little girl in front of him, who he had never met before, gave him a familiar feeling …
"Little girl, why did you throw me out alone in the middle of the night? Where are your parents?"
When he first saw this little girl, Qin Yichen had an extremely good impression of her. He couldn't help but want to care for her and even worry about her.
"I asked first. Why didn't you answer me? Why did you ask me!"
The little girl pouted her small mouth and looked angry.
"Me?"
Qin Yichen was stunned.
This little girl was quite smart.
Moreover, he wasn't afraid of a stranger like him.
"My name is Qin Yichen. I'm here to play. What about you?"
For some reason, Qin Yichen could have just made up a name for this little girl, but in the end, he couldn't help but say his real name.
"My mama calls me Little Ling'er …"
The little girl talked to him like an adult.
"Ling 'er, that's a good name. Why did you come here alone at night? Aren't you afraid that your parents will be worried?"
The more Qin Yichen looked at her cute appearance, the more he liked her. He scanned the surroundings with his spiritual power. After confirming that no one was following them, he sat down cross-legged and prepared to tease the little girl.
"Mama said that I can't talk to strangers …"
However, before Qin Yichen could open his mouth again, the little girl's next sentence caused him to swallow his words.
"Why are you asking me when you can't talk …"
Qin Yichen's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart.
"Little girl, you should go back quickly. Uncle still has some things to do."
Qin Yichen said gently as he patted the little girl's head and stroked her soft hair.
Surprisingly, the little girl didn't resist Qin Yichen's touch. However, she didn't answer him either.
If Lv Heze saw this scene, he would definitely be taken aback.
After all, even as the little girl's grandfather, he had never touched this little girl.
Every time he wanted to hug her or pat her head, the little girl would run away and even throw a tantrum.
That tantrum …
Just thinking about it made Lv Heze's scalp tingle.
This was because every time he made her unhappy, his house would be crawling with ants.
As time passed, Lv Heze had no choice but to give up on caressing Little Ling'er.
Qin Yichen naturally didn't know about this. As for the little girl, she didn't know why, but she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness towards this stranger in front of her. It was as if she was born to rely on this stranger and wanted to get closer to him.
This feeling was something she had only felt from her mother …
After stroking her hair a few times, Qin Yichen realized that she was puffing her cheeks and looking at him with her big beautiful eyes. It was as if she was expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Ahem, little girl, don't run around. Once uncle is done, I will bring you to see your mama."
Qin Yichen coughed dryly and resentfully withdrew his hand.
He didn't think too much about it and walked to the pool. With a thought, the Spirit Sword appeared in his hand.
"Buzz …"
The moment the Spirit Sword appeared, it seemed to have sensed the pure energy coming from the Spirit Vein. It actually emitted a buzzing sound and the body of the sword trembled as if it was about to break free.
"Go and eat your fill."
Qin Yichen chuckled and placed the Spirit Sword in the pool.
"Buzz buzz …"
The moment the Spirit Sword came into contact with the dark green pool, it emitted an excited buzzing sound. After swimming in a circle, a suction force was emitted from the body of the Spirit Sword. In a split second, waves of pure energy gathered towards the body of the Spirit Sword at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Eat, eat … this Spirit Vein should be able to allow you to reach the limit of what I can bear."
Qin Yichen was secretly pleased.
"Eh, this sword is so strange …"
At this moment, a tender voice sounded out. Soon after, Qin Yichen was shocked to discover that the little girl had actually arrived at the edge of the pool without him noticing. At this moment, she was trying to grab the Spirit Sword.
"No!"
When he saw this scene, Qin Yichen hurriedly shouted out. At the same time, with a thought, he was about to withdraw the Spirit Sword.
However, it was all too late. The little girl's fair and tender hand had already grasped the hilt of the Spirit Sword …
"Swish!"
Just as the little girl's hand grasped the hilt of the sword, Qin Yichen controlled the Spirit Sword to fly back to Qin Yichen's side and hover in the air.
"Are you alright? Let me see your hand."
Qin Yichen took two steps forward and grabbed the little girl's hand to examine it.
However, he was shocked to discover that the Spirit Sword, which could cut through a strand of hair, did not leave the slightest scratch on the little girl's hand.
This caused him to be stunned.
