Both Divine Swords unleashed their power at the same time, sending out several sharp and fierce sword lights that tore through the energy barrier, creating a passage only wide enough for one person to pass through at a time.
“Let's go in.”
Little Kingfisher didn't hesitate at all, swiftly flying into the barrier.
“Mother!”
Little Yijing slid down from Lin Jinxu's body and hurriedly rushed in without waiting for anyone.
Jinxu hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and bent down to crawl into the passage.
Jinghong and Youhuang transformed into a young boy and girl, then followed inside.
*
The ice cave was winding and deep, with bone-chilling coldness.
Two rows of candles lit up one by one, illuminating the narrow passage.
“Mother, mother.”
Little Yijing sprinted along the passage, took several turns within the ice cave, and entered a larger cavern, seeing a much brighter and clearer scene.
A misty Cold Pond lay before them, surrounded by dense ice several meters deep, unmelting for thousands of years.
A woman dressed in white, as snowy as a celestial being, sat cross-legged by the pond.
In front of her lay a white jade ancient zither, plucked gently by her slender fingers. The ethereal and enchanting zither music echoed melodiously.
“Mother.”
Upon seeing the woman, Little Yijing's heart leaped with joy, happily plunging himself into his mother's arms.
“Yijing, my son.”
The woman hugged her long-lost child, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.
“Chatter.”
Little Kingfisher followed soon after, mimicking the Magpie's call twice, circling over the Cold Pond, and enjoying the show with satisfaction.
“Mother, Father is here. Father has come to take you home.”
Upon hearing the bird's call, Little Yijing excitedly tilted his head upward and pointed in the direction of the cave entrance.
The woman trembled faintly at the sound of the word 'Father' and her breathing momentarily hitched.
Lin Jinxu's heart raced as he arrived at the cave entrance. Taking a few more deep breaths to steady his spirit, he mustered the courage to step inside.
The woman's breathing caught, and she looked up at him.
Her complicated gaze burned into his face. Lin Jinxu felt an unprecedented embarrassment, his eyes casting downward, avoiding her gaze.
“Father.”
As if receiving divine support, Little Yijing wriggled free from his mother's embrace, took his father's hand, and led him towards his mother.
The woman stared at the handsome young man who resembled the one she remembered from long ago, then sighed softly and lowered her eyes, no longer looking at him.
“Sigh.”
With the burning feeling gone, Lin Jinxu quietly let out a breath as Little Yijing led him closer to the woman.
“Mother, Father is here to see you.”
Little Yijing tugged on Lin Jinxu's hand, signaling him to crouch down.
Jinxu's eyelids trembled, and he followed Little Yijing's intention, crouching down in front of the woman, his gaze level with hers.
Little Yijing revealed a triumphant smirk, pulled his mother's icy cold hand, and placed it into his warm father's palm.
The woman had skin like snow and delicate hands that seemed boneless. Their cool touch sent ripples through one's heart and soul.
Lin Jinxu's breath caught, and he instinctively raised his head, catching a glimpse of the woman's exquisite beauty that mirrored his memories.
It seemed as if the woman could sense his gaze; her thick lashes trembled slightly. She suddenly pulled back her hand and turned her body to avoid his gaze.
Lin Jinxu's eyes fell to his empty palm, feeling a wave of loss and sadness.
“Mother, Father has come to take you home.”
Little Yijing, with his heart set on his parents' reunion and family reunion, stubbornly pulled his mother's hand and placed it in his father's palm once more.
The woman's breath hitched and she was about to break free when Lin Jinxu, without thinking, applied a little force, holding on even tighter.
“Hehe.”
Little Yijing was delighted, his eyes smiling like crescent moons.
