Once, he sneaked into a remote corner of the immortal realm, wary of provoking powerful beings and knowing the realm was too vast to explore completely. There, he sensed a spiritual presence compelling him to investigate. In a verdant area, an enormous tree emanated a subtle green light. He dug into the soil and uncovered a rosewood box. Inside, he found the jade pendants radiating brilliant light, which dimmed upon touching his hand. The warmth and spiritual energy made him certain they were treasures.
After keeping them for some time, he discovered they provided vitality, inner peace, and slowly transformed the body. Evil spirits would not dare approach, and he found a protective spell within – when the wearer was attacked, the jade would create a protective shield.
Delighted, he presented the pendants to the children to wear. Lan Lan, seeing his gesture, had the children kowtow in gratitude.
The adorable babies kissed Long Daihai, making him laugh heartily.
Long Junhao observed his great-grandfather’s deep affection for these two children. Lan Lan had the children greet Dragon Feng, Lin Bo, and others. Everyone dispersed near mealtime, with Dragon Feng and Long Daihai staying to eat at Lan Lan’s invitation. The meal concluded in a warm atmosphere.
Concerned for his pregnant wife, Dragon Feng bid farewell after the meal. Before leaving, Long Daihai called Lan Lan to walk in the garden.
“Girl, your great-grandfather has calculated that you still have a destined lover. What do you plan to do?” Long Daihai asked, noticing her shyness.
“Great-grandfather, I don’t know. Ling Feng’s life and death are uncertain. How can I think about such things?”
The thought of Ling Feng brought her pain. The two men in her life were indispensable but finding acceptance in the imperial court was challenging.
“Great-grandfather, can you tell me if Ling Feng is still alive?” Lan Lan asked tearfully.
“Daughter, I can only tell you that Ling Feng is not dead. He will return to you one day,” Long Daihai comforted her.
“As long as he’s alive, that’s good,” Lan Lan wept with joy, relieved to hear this news after Long Junhao’s unsuccessful searches.
The passage describes Long Daihai comforting Lan Lan, advising her to remain calm and trust in fate, emphasizing self-care.
