Summary of the previous chapter: The passionate moment with Miaoyu turned out to be the "appetizer" arranged by Hua Yuexin, and the main meal turned out to be Ma Xiaoquan one against six... As you can imagine, Ma Xiaoquan stayed until the afternoon of the next day
He just woke up, but after waking up, Ma Xiaoquan found that his physical strength had recovered. What surprised him even more was that the heart of time became restless, making him fall into a fantasy...
This is a clear world, with mountains, water, and a house. Looking from a distance, the water and sky are of the same color, quite like a bright mirror in an ink painting.
Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his eyes, pinched his arm several times, and then murmured: "Will it hurt? It seems like I'm not dreaming."
"No, I clearly felt like I was in an illusion just now..."
...
While Ma Xiaoquan was confused, Hua Yuexin pushed open the door with food in her hands. However, when she entered the room, her husband, Ma Xiaoquan, was missing.
"Huh?" Hua Yuexin put down the tray and looked around, "Where is your husband? Where did he go?"
Hua Yuexin was not nervous because Ma Xiaoquan disappeared for no reason. Instead, she sat down calmly, dragged her chin, and waited quietly...
...
Ma Xiaoquan was walking on the mountain path, looking around for someone to ask, but after searching for a long time, he didn't see anyone passing by.
"What is this place?"
Ma Xiaoquan continued to walk forward until he came to the door of a house with smoke from the kitchen, and then stopped.
"Go in and ask!" Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and knocked gently on the wooden door.
After three "bang bang bang" sounds, there was no response from the room.
"Is anyone there?"
Ma Xiaoquan knocked on the wooden door a few more times, but still didn't see any response from inside the room.
"Creak", Ma Xiaoquan tried to push the wooden door, and it actually opened.
Ma Xiaoquan's heart tightened and he immediately became alert.
Be alert, but you have come this far. If you don't continue, Ma Xiaoquan will never know what will happen in the house.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look!"
Ma Xiaoquan picked up a short stick beside the wooden door and carefully stepped into the threshold.
"Is there anyone there?" Ma Xiaoquan asked again.
There was still no response from the room.
Ma Xiaoquan took five steps slowly and stopped.
The house was not big, so Ma Xiaoquan roughly measured the length and width of the house in five steps.
The space inside the house is about 20 steps long and 12 steps wide. Today, this size is considered a small house.
Ma Xiaoquan carefully looked at the layout of the house: apart from a bed and a small square table, there were also some odds and ends.
"Okay." Ma Xiaoquan put down his short stick and walked slowly to the small square table. He looked around several times to make sure there was no one there before slowly sitting down.
"Do you like it here?"
Ma Xiaoquan was so excited that he picked up the stick and turned around to swing it.
With a "hoo" sound, the stick was swung empty.
"Do you like it here?" the voice repeated again.
Ma Xiaoquan did a backflip, rolled to the corner, and shouted: "You are hiding and talking to me in a sneaky way. What kind of hero are you? Come out and see me if you have the ability!"
"Hee hee..." Laughter came from all directions, and Ma Xiaoquan couldn't tell the source of the sound at all.
"What are you doing? If you have the ability, are you a man?"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan said these words, his laughter suddenly stopped.
"Yeah." Ma Xiaoquan felt happy and said to himself: This statement is quite effective, haha.
Just as he was feeling proud, the laughter started again, but this time, the laughter turned into the laughter of a baby.
"This..." Ma Xiaoquan was speechless.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, looked up towards the door, and saw a child.
The child looked about five or six years old. He wore a small light red bellyband on his upper body and a pair of very mismatched pants on his lower body. The child had short hair, so it was difficult for Ma Xiaoquan to determine the gender from his appearance.
.
Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the child's lower body, hoping to tell whether the child was a boy or a girl.
The child seemed to be aware of Ma Xiaoquan's gaze. She shyly pulled on her pants, puffed out her chest, and said angrily: "I'm a girl, don't look around!"
"Uh" Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his eyes, pretending that there was sand in his eyes, cleverly avoiding the child's sharp return gaze.
Ma Xiaoquan changed the subject and said, "Where am I?"
The little girl jumped into the house with her bare feet.
Ma Xiaoquan really couldn't be on guard when it came to his children.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled, loosened his grip, and the stick fell to the ground with a clang.
"Put my stick back where it belongs!" the little girl ordered Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Why? This is not your home."
The little girl puffed her mouth: "This is my house."
Ma Xiaoquan was delighted: "You said your house is your house, where is the evidence?"
The little girl thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with any evidence, so she yelled: "No matter what, this is where I live, it's my house. You can put it back here."
Ma Xiaoquan teased the little girl: "I won't!"
The little girl suddenly narrowed her eyes, stretched out her two little hands, and shouted: "Time hurts!"
Ma Xiaoquan found it interesting, so he sat down and tapped Erlang's legs to watch her performance.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, Ma Xiaoquan immediately felt sore all over his body.
"What's going on?" Ma Xiaoquan asked through gritted teeth.
The little girl giggled: "I told you, this is my house. If you don't put my stick back where it belongs, I will use more force to make you feel even more uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoquan quickly waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay, I'll put it back, I'll put it back..."
When the little girl heard this, she immediately took back her strength and stared at Ma Xiaoquan with her big eyes open.
Ma Xiaoquan stood up, smiled dryly, picked up the stick, and carefully put the stick back to its place.
"That's pretty much it, hee hee."
Ma Xiaoquan turned around and asked the little girl: "Who are you and where am I?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then changed her naughty look and said seriously: "You are where you should be!"
"Where I'm supposed to be?"
The little girl nodded: "In about two thousand years, this place will be called the underground world by you..."
The little girl's words were like a bombshell, which shocked Ma Xiaoquan's heart.
"What did you say, the underworld?"
The little girl nodded.
"Then what are you?"
The little girl waved her hand: "I can control what causes you pain. What do you think I am?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Are you...are you...the Heart of Time?"
The little girl nodded: "This name is really rustic. Who gave it to me?"
Ma Xiaoquan: "..."
The little girl said: "My real name is Yuan..."
"source?"
The little girl nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Did you summon me here?"
Yuan nodded: "Yes!"
"Why?"
Yuan waved her hands helplessly, with a very sophisticated look. If it weren't for her child's body, Ma Xiaoquan had every reason to think that Yuan was an adult.
Yuan said slowly: "Do you think I am a child? Haha, in fact, I have been alive for so long that I can't even remember..."
"Then what is the purpose of calling me here?"
Yuan raised his head and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan slowly: "I need your help."
"Help? How can I help you?"
Yuan exhaled and said slowly: "The reason why I am called Yuan is that, to be precise, I have two parts."
"Two parts?"
Yuan nodded: "One is what you call the heart of time that is in your body now, and the other, the other..." At this point, Yuan couldn't say anything.
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "What do you need me to do?"
Yuan looked at Ma Xiaoquan in surprise and asked, "Don't you ask me the reason?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "There's no need to know, right?"
Yuan chuckled, nodded and said: "That's right, you will know everything in the future."
"Tell me how I can help you."
Yuan hummed: "It's very simple, you help me find my other part!"
"Where's the reward?"
Yuan chuckled: "Reward? You have already received it."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then realized: "You are referring to my immortality, my ability to control fire, and my ability to change gravity?"
Yuan nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that due to the lack of another part of me, you can't fully control those abilities, can you?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
Yuan is right. Although Ma Xiaoquan has immortality, it must be established after eating eggs. Although Ma Xiaoquan can control the flame, he cannot completely control the flame like Tomorrow Heart. Although Ma Xiaoquan can change gravity.
, but only for the objects he touches, or himself. If he wants to change the gravity field within a certain range like Ruan Longfei did, Ma Xiaoquan cannot do it.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and sat down on the ground: "Yuan, do you know? Actually, I don't want these abilities!"
Yuan blinked his big eyes, walked over, and followed Ma Xiaoquan's example and sat on the ground.
"Why? You know, how many people want these abilities, but you don't?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly: "If I had a choice, I just want to be an ordinary person."
Yuan chuckled and shook his head: "It's impossible, because this is your destiny."
"Destiny?" Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, "It seems that I can't fight my own destiny, haha..."
"Wrong" Yuan suddenly stood up and reached out to hold Ma Xiaoquan's forehead, "What you are doing now is actually fighting against fate!"
