Following Xiao Zhao’s voice, Fike walked in her direction.

A familiar lake appeared before his eyes.

This lake seemed to be brimming with infinite vitality, and the closer to the lake he got, the denser the vegetation around him grew.

“Fike! I think that maybe it’s because of this lake that the surrounding vegetation is slightly withered!”

Xiao Zhao said.

Hearing her words, Fike’s head began to hurt immensely again.

‘What’s going on? Why does my head hurt so much the more I think about it?’

Fike cursed silently in his heart.

Xiao Zhao looked at Fike, who seemed to be in so much pain he was going to fall over, before immediately rushing forward to support him and ask with concern.

“Fike, are you okay? Why have you been like this since the start of our journey? Could it be that the Miracle Forest reminds you of some past event?”

Fike looked into Xiao Zhao’s eyes, and his headache slowly eased.

“I’m… fine. It’s true that after arriving at this Miracle Forest, I was reminded of some past events, but for some reason, I feel like I’ve forgotten something in my mind.”

Seeing that Fike’s condition was gradually easing up, Xiao Zhao also heaved a sigh of relief and continued.

“It’s good that you’re fine! Since we’ve found such a paradise, why don’t we give it a name? What do you think?”

Fike did not speak, and only silently listened intently for Xiao Zhao’s next words.

“This place… is full of vitality… the surface of the lake is also sparkling, it’s like… it’s like…

“Just like the wings of a fairy!”

Xiao Zhao rambled excitedly.

“Then let’s call it the Fairy Lake!

“Fike! What do you think?”

After hearing her words, Fike fell into a deep silence.

A familiar voice kept flashing in his mind, but no matter how hard he tried to recall, he could not remember the owner of the voice.

“Fairy Lake… Fairy Lake… Who are you?”

Fike muttered to himself in a disorganized manner.

Seeing him in this state again, Xiao Zhao quickly walked to his side with concern. She put her hand on Fike’s forehead.

“Are you having a fever?”

Fike ignored the question and continued trying to recall the voice that kept ringing in his mind.

“Miracle Forest… Fairy Lake… Xiao Zhao… Xiao Zhao?”

Seeming to have suddenly had an epiphany, he looked at Xiao Zhao.

“You Are… Zhao Ruoxian?”

Xiao Zhao looked at him in confusion and asked quietly.

“Who is Zhao Ruoxian?”

Fike looked at the girl’s charming face as countless memories flooded into his mind once again.

“It can’t be wrong. Xiao Zhao is Zhao Ruoxian! Zhao Ruoxian is Xiao Zhao after becoming a god!”

Fike thought to himself.

“Are you okay? Fike?”

Xiao Zhao sounded worried.

Finally, after figuring it out, Fike’s headache was finally alleviated.

He reassured Xiao Zhao

“I’m fine! I just found the part of memories that I was looking for!”

“It’s great that you’re fine!”

Xiao Zhao replied gently.

“Oh, right!

“Fike, what do you think we should do if the people of the Donta tribe discovered such a beautiful Fairy Lake?

“Why don’t we…”

Xiao Zhao looked at Fike, who turned to her at the same time. Both of them said in unison.

“Set up a barrier!”

Xiao Zhao looked at Fike’s eyes in disbelief.

She didn’t expect Fike to say the same thing in unison with her.

“But do you know how to set up a barrier?”

Fike asked.

Xiao Zhao patted her chest confidently.

“The first lesson for us disciples of the East Immortal Sect is to set up barriers! Don’t underestimate me!”

After Xiao Zhao had finished speaking, she placed her hand on the ground, and a dark golden light filled the earth, slowly spreading out in all directions.

In a short period of time, the surrounding trees seemed to have received some sort of inspiration and began to move.

As Fike watched the scene unfolding in front of him, he grew even more certain that Xiao Zhao was Zhao Ruoxian.

Yet, something still puzzled him. The version of the story that Zhao Ruoxian had told him about how she found the Fairy Lake was different from what he was seeing now.

‘Ah, forget it. Zhao Ruoxian’s memory wasn’t very good in the first place. It’s not impossible that she’d remember some things wrongly!’

Fike thought to himself.

Just as Fike was deep in thought, Xiao Zhao had already finished setting up the enchantment.

“Alright! I’m done with the enchantment! From now on, only the two of us will know about this place!”

Fike looked at the elated Xiao Zhao and remained silent.

“Fike! This is a good place to cultivate! The essence of the entire Miracle Forest is here!

“What’s more, I feel that the magic essence contained in the Fairy Lake is no less than the one that had been on the stone tablet!”

Xiao Zhao said.

Fike looked at her and nodded seriously.

At this moment, he recalled what Master Quan had said to him that night in the ancient temple.

“Am I inextricably related to Zhao Ruoxian?

“Is it because of me that Zhao Ruoxian lost her memory?

“Then what’s the relationship between herself and the god of creation, Ogallas, that Zhao Ruoxian had been looking for all this time?”

With these doubts, Fike was silent for a long time.

Finally, he snapped back to his senses as he heard Xiao Zhao shouting at him.

“Fike, are you really planning on spending the night by the Fairy Lake? It’s getting late. We need to get to the Donta tribe hub as soon as possible!”

Fike nodded.

“Yes, yes, let’s leave this place first then.”

With that, the two of them continued their journey to the Donta tribe hub.

…

After walking for about half an hour, Fike and Xiao Zhao finally found their way out of Miracle Forest.

The two of them looked over.

A city wall, which could have been considered an extremely rare sight in this era, stood in front of them.

Inscribed on it were a few big words in the center, ‘Donta Tribe’.

Fike looked at this familiar scene and quickly realized that this was the future Romon City.

“Fike, Fike! What are you daydreaming about?”

Xiao Zhao shook his arm.

Fike came back to his senses and gazed at her.

“What’s wrong with you?

“Let’s go in quickly! It’s almost dark!”

Fike raised his head and saw that the sky was indeed slowly darkening, so he agreed.

“Yes, yes. Then let’s go in quickly!”

As the two approached the city gate of the Donta tribe’s main hub, a pair of guards raised their spears, stopping them.

“What do you do? Where are you from?”

Xiao Zhao procured a waist plate of the East Immortal Sect.

“We are immortal cultivators of the East Immortal Sect. Can’t we come here to look around?”

After hearing her words, and looking at the waist plate in her hand, the two guards greeted them.

“So you two are disciples of the East Immortal Sect. Please, come in!”
