Chapter 1034: Yin’er

Han Fei swallowed. It wasn’t a problem for any cultivator to appear in the garden. Didn’t Wang Santie say that he had been paying attention to the garden ever since he started cultivating?
But why was there a three-year-old girl here? This shouldn’t be!
The girl was wearing a white pleated dress and holding a small wooden mallet in her hand. She had two pigtails on her head and large, watery eyes, looking very cute.
The corner of Han Fei’s mouth twitched. “Hey! Hello, little girl!”
When the girl saw Han Fei speak, she immediately covered her mouth and jumped up excitedly like a crazy girl.
The girl shouted, “Brother, are you here to play with me?”
Han Fei narrowed his eyes, but a bright smile appeared on his face. “Of course, I’m a messenger sent by the heavens. I’m here to play with you.”
“Liar! There’s no messenger in the sky.”
Han Fei chuckled. “Little girl, what’s your name?”
The little girl bit her pinky and thought for a long time. “My name is… My name is Yin’er.”
Han Fei grinned. “Yin’er! Why are you here alone?”
Yin’er immediately cried. “Daddy and Mommy haven’t visited Yin’er in a long time. Boohoo… Brother, do they not want Yin’er anymore?”
Seeing the little girl’s expression, Han Fei immediately said, “Of course not. Mom and Dad just have something very important to do… When they’re done, they’ll come back to visit Yin’er.”
The little girl rubbed her eyes and relaxed. “Really?”
Han Fei nodded heavily. “Of course. They were afraid that Yin’er would be too lonely, so they asked me to come and visit you.”
As a child, all he needed to do was to coax her! The truth would always strike at a child’s young and fragile heart. Therefore, sometimes a lie didn’t mean cheating or being irresponsible. After all, this world was too complicated!
Indeed, Yin’er shouted at Han Fei excitedly, “Really? Mom and Dad didn’t abandon Yin’er?”
Han Fei laughed. “Of course. Yin’er is so beautiful. How can anyone abandon you?”
Han Fei’s heart sank. There must be something wrong with the Yin’er he saw! If it weren’t for the fact that the Demon Purification Pot didn’t show any information, Han Fei would have suspected that Yin’er was an undead creature…
Regardless, Yin’er’s parents had definitely abandoned her and left her alone in the Sky Meditation Garden. As for Yin’er’s present state, it was predictable.
How could such an adorable girl living in a place like the Sky Meditation Garden be an ordinary person?
Han Fei guessed that she might have something to do with the Central Holy City in the center of the Thousand Star City.
He had never heard any information regarding the Central Holy City. Was there someone living there? Could Yin’er be related to the Central Holy City?
However, before Han Fei could think further, he saw that Yin’er had already held his hand and said, “Brother, play with me.”
Han Fei thought to himself, How am I supposed to play with you? The current visualization garden is filled with people!
However, just as the two of them ran a few steps, Han Fei’s pupils constricted. The “Whack a Mole” place?
“Something’s amiss. I passed by this place a few days ago. Why am I here? Is there a teleportation array here?”
Han Fei immediately realized that something was wrong with the space he was in.
His scalp went numb. This was a little too much! Why did he… keep encountering such things?
It had already happened once in Heavenly Desolate City where he returned to countless years ago.
Where the hell would he be taken this time?
Yin’er shouted, “Brother, let’s hit fish heads.”
“Huh?”
Han Fei was stunned. Fish head?
Yin’er shouted, “All of you, come out.”
With Yin’er’s shout, Iron-Head Fish heads popped out of the holes.
Yin’er grab a tiny club and strike the air, and a hammer shadow appeared, with which, Yin’er smashed an Iron-Head Fish into the hole.
“Brother, you hit too.”
Han Fei discovered that a small stick had appeared in his hand at some point in time. The corners of Han Fei’s mouth twitched as he began to hit fish heads with Yin’er.
As he knocked, Han Fei thought to himself, This is indeed a game of Whack-A-Mole. I should have confirmed it long ago.
Han Fei said, “Yin’er! Where did the fish heads come from?”
Yin’er was playing happily as she chuckled. “Planted. Daddy planted them in the past.”
Han Fei swallowed. How could a person who could plant Iron-Head Fish on the ground be an ordinary person?
A moment later, Yin’er seemed to be tired. She dropped the mallet and tugged at Han Fei’s hand. “Brother, let’s go to the swing.”
This time, after they ran two steps, the scene changed. Han Fei appeared in a forest, where there was a swing.
Han Fei couldn’t help but gulp. Distance was ineffective against Yin’er, but why was it ineffective against him too?
He had clearly noticed it, but he still didn’t know how he had come over.
However, seeing that Yin’er was having fun, Han Fei could only play with her. Perhaps the girl had been alone for too long, or perhaps the Sky Meditation Garden was built just for Yin’er.
Not only was there no concept of distance here, but there was also no concept of time. Han Fei had no idea how long he had been here.
He whacked Iron-Head Fish with Yin’er, swung on the swings, threw a ball, sat on the slide, listened to the wind chimes, went down to the river to fish Little White Fish…
At this moment, Yin’er was lying on the ground exhausted, and so was Han Fei.
Han Fei asked casually, “Yin’er, let’s go to play in the tower in the middle, OK?”
Yin’er was puffing and panting. Hearing Han Fei’s words, she immediately sat up, clearly depressed. “Brother, are you leaving?”
Han Fei grinned. “No, I’m just asking.”
Yin’er pursed her lips like an adult and said, “I know Brother is leaving. He’s very busy too.”
Han Fei’s heart softened when he heard Yin’er’s words. Which damn parents left a little girl here and ignored her? Why did they not even want their daughter?
Han Fei rubbed Yin’er’s head and said, “Yin’er, be good. Let me see if I can find your parents.”
Yin’er’s mood didn’t become better, but she said sensibly, “Mommy said that I can see them when I reach the top of the tower one day. But… but Yin’er has never climbed it up.”
The girl’s eyes were red, and Han Fei felt as if he had heard a bolt from the blue.
It turned out that the Endless Tower was actually a scam. It was built to deceive a little girl.
If they could return, they wouldn’t have left Yin’er here and become like this.
That was why the tower was called the Endless Tower.
Since even Yin’er couldn’t go up, what was the point of going to that tower?
Han Fei couldn’t help but say, “Yin’er, be good. One day, we will climb up.”
Yin’er tried her best to grin. “Brother, let’s go! I’ll take you out.”
Han Fei’s heart stirred. Can I go out now? The girl is very sensible!
Although Yin’er was very pitiful, Han Fei couldn’t spend all his time here. This was the first of the three Holy Lands, but he had encountered such a situation.
Han Fei got up and stroked Yin’er’s head again. “Yin’er, believe me. One day, you will have a good home.”
Han Fei didn’t know if Yin’er understood him, but he had already appeared in front of the Endless Tower.
Han Fei had been circling the Visualization Garden the entire time. Luo Xiaobai said that they would gather in half a month, so he didn’t go directly. Therefore, this was the first time he had seen the Endless Tower. Sure enough, it was a large cylinder wrapped in green plants.
At this moment, Yin’er was holding Han Fei’s hand tightly and looking at him eagerly. “Brother, will you come back?”
Han Fei really didn’t know how to answer.
In the end, Han Fei nodded slightly. Since he hadn’t left the Thousand Star City, he could come to the Sky Meditation Garden as he pleased.
Therefore, Han Fei agreed. “I promise I’ll come back to see you.”
Upon hearing Han Fei’s affirmative answer, Yin’er chuckled. “Brother, you’re the best. Brother, go to the pagoda and you can leave.”
“Huh?”
Han Fei said in surprise, “Entering it is to leave?”
Yin’er tugged at her braid and grinned at Han Fei. “Yes!”
Standing at the entrance of the Endless Tower, Han Fei had a guess…
He looked back at Yin’er. “Lass, aren’t you coming in?”
Yin’er shook her head. “I’ve already climbed many times. Goodbye, Brother.”
Han Fei said seriously, “Yin’er, be good. I’ll come again next time.”
“OK!”
With that, Han Fei turned around and walked into the tower.
The moment Han Fei walked into the Endless Tower, the scene in front of him changed. This was the interior of a building! He was clearly standing in a dark void.
“Indeed.”
Han Fei sighed. He had guessed correctly. This was the Soul Restriction Sky.
Wang Santie wasn’t lying. The way to enter the Soul Restriction Sky was indeed hidden in the Visualization Garden.
However, not everyone could see Yin’er. To see Yin’er, one needed a powerful soul.
Therefore, the Sky Meditation Garden had given an extremely high rule from the beginning, blocking out most people.
As for why peak-level law enforcers or even explorers couldn’t see Yin’er? There was probably another reason.
At the very least, he should have reached the Soul Restriction Sky.
There was nothing around him, and it was darkness under his feet. Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Hello, anyone here?”
