"Actually, I’ve remembered a bit about my past life lately. You said we can all have different past lives, so why can’t Zhang Qiang? But I can’t recall if there was such a person in our sect in my previous life?" Zhou Shiqiu said questioningly.
Xu Yuxi thought carefully, then shook her head, "I also don’t remember such a person in the sect. I’m quite sure, this person isn’t from our sect."
"That’s true, you’re the youngest in the sect." Zhou Shiqiu said, shaking her head.
"You’re only a month older than me." Xu Yuxi rolled her eyes.
"Being a month older is still older, you still have to call me senior sister." Zhou Shiqiu said proudly and then suddenly thought, "Why don’t you ask Little Green? Maybe Little Green knows?"
"Oh right," Xu Yuxi took Little Green out, "Little Green, Little Green, do you remember who Zhang Qiang was in a past life?"
Little Green was silent for a moment and said, "I don’t know."
"Oh." Zhou Shiqiu uttered in disappointment, was her guess wrong?
"Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I miss home." Xu Yuxi lay back on the bed, saying softly, "I wonder how things are back home."
"I miss home too." Zhou Shiqiu turned over, lying next to Xu Yuxi, speaking softly.
"Things are getting worse, I wonder how the medication research is going. Now zombie animals have appeared. That dog from yesterday, thinking about it makes me both scared and disgusted. Those fangs, I can’t imagine how it would be being bitten." Xu Yuxi recalled the zombie dog they encountered yesterday and still felt a lingering fear.
"If things continue this way, plants might also mutate. That would make the environment for human survival increasingly difficult." Zhou Shiqiu sighed.
"Hang in there, humanity." Xu Yuxi said softly.
"Hang in there." Zhou Shiqiu also murmured.
Gradually, the two fell into silence and drifted into sleep.
Once the two were sound asleep, Little Green jumped off the bed, skillfully slipped through the door crack, and ran to Zhang Qiang’s room. Zhang Qiang was waiting for him.
"Young Master Zhang." Little Green called respectfully upon entering.
"Stop calling me that, it’s too awkward." Zhang Qiang smiled slightly, bent down, and scooped Little Green into his hand, "I’m not a Young Master anymore."
"But... Master..." Little Green tried to say.
Zhang Qiang interrupted him, "Alright, tell me what happened after you met her. I just recently recovered my memory, and some things I still don’t know."
"After you destroyed Wanzhi Sect, you traced the owner’s soul. After we got separated in the tunnel from the Great World to this Middle World, I was saved by Dong Xiao beside Lord Tianmiao. Then, I asked Lord Tianmiao to help me find the owner. Lord Tianmiao agreed and found the owner for me. Originally, I wanted to ask Dong Xiao to help me find you too. There, I met a friend of yours. He said not to worry about you, that you’d meet again. And then I met you again. It’s wonderful." Little Green said happily.
Zhang Qiang’s face also showed a smile, he sat down and placed Little Green on the nearby table, "The Lord Tianmiao and Lord Dong Xiao you mentioned were the ones who appeared on the painting boat that day, right?" As for his friend, it should be that one.
"Yes. Lord Tianmiao opened a shop, ’All Things Have Spirits,’ where many spirits who had no place to go are given sanctuary. Your friend is also there." Little Green nodded.
"That’s good. That world could not accommodate him anymore. It’s great that he can have a new place to reside." Zhang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.
