Chen Lin gazed at the stretch of the Heaven-Connecting River that vanished into the Star Screen.
He frowned, lost in thought.
The Big Black Dog's arrival here had been no coincidence.
Niuniu had sent the dog to deliver its fur to him.
Of course.
If he had not had the Mermaid Sword, he really would have been eaten.
The opportunities Niuniu had arranged for him linked together like the rings of a chain. Although some treasures had changed over the long years, they still broadly formed a single thread.
He needed to obtain the earlier ones before the later ones would follow.
Niuniu, your arrangements are far too complete. Is this really love, or do you have some other purpose?
If it's love, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed!
Chen Lin muttered inwardly.
His expression kept shifting, gradually settling into helplessness.
And worry.
Jin Ruhua had said that a Star Domain Stowaway could never be the reincarnation of a mighty expert.
Yet he suspected otherwise.
These things Niuniu had left behind were meant for her lover, that Fiend.
She wanted to resurrect her lover, and that Fiend had been reborn through reincarnation. So she had used her powers to leave all these treasures for him.
Drawing a breath, Chen Lin smacked his lips.
If his guess was right, he dared not imagine what would happen on the day he finally met Niuniu!
And the possibility was far from remote.
With Niuniu's abilities, locking onto a target should have posed no problem. Old Cultivator Chen Lin might truly have been that Fiend's Reincarnated Body. Had Chen Lin not transmigrated here, the man could still have obtained those opportunities one after another at that point in time, following the same path he had.
He might also have died in Kaiyuan City.
