Chapter 262

Ten years later.

The afternoon sun was bright and beautiful, with bright rays pouring down from the azure sky. A gentle breeze blew through the air, and wherever it passed, there was a lush and vibrant scene.

In the vast woods, a stream meanders along. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. You can see fish of all sizes playing in the stream.

A few white birds were perched on the rocks in the middle of the stream, looking down at the fish swimming in the water. From time to time, they would open their mouths and peck at one, and a small fish would be caught in their mouths.

Not far from the stream, there are two trees of medium size standing next to each other. There is a faint halo flowing all over them, as if it is emitted by themselves, or as if it is the result of sunlight.

Under one of the trees, a young girl in a light green dress was leaning against the trunk and drawing.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had long flaxen curly hair, two strands of which were tied up and fixed behind her head with a green ribbon. The rest of her hair was loose, fluffy, beautiful and lovely.

She was working on her paintbrush with a focused look.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and something seemed to fall from the tree and landed on the girl's head.

"Jiaojiao, stop making trouble." The girl said softly.

I saw a thumb-sized little man grabbing her hair and dangling gently in the air. The little man was light green and transparent all over, like a faint shadow.

"Huahua, play~"

The little man let go of her hair and landed on her drawing board. His tiny feet stepped on the paint, and he immediately ran across the blank space with a silly smile, leaving behind a string of thin footprints.

Little Lihua looked at the troublesome tree spirit and puffed her cheeks angrily, but looking at its petite and cute appearance, she really couldn't lose her temper with this little guy.

"I'm painting, you're just messing with me."

She tapped the tree spirit's head with her fingertips and asked, "Why don't you go play with Little Lazy?"

"Little lazy, go to sleep~"

Under the gaze of Little Lihua, the tree spirit jumped onto another pear tree, then reached out and grabbed another little tree spirit.

Like Jiaojiao, it was emitting fluorescent light all over its body. After being caught, it sat on a leaf with a confused look on its face, blinked its eyes, and without noticing any danger, yawned, then lay down on the leaf and fell asleep again.

"Sleep...go to sleep..." it said vaguely.

Xiaolihua:......

Xiaolan is really lazy. After he was able to condense his spirit body, he slept every day. It's hard for Jiaojiao, who has a lively personality, to dislike him.

That’s right, this lush forest is the wasteland where Su Ci transplanted them. Now its appearance has changed a lot.

In addition to the two spiritual pear trees in the forest, there are also many plants that have developed spiritual intelligence, so Jiaojiao and Xiaolan are not alone when they live here.

"Boom—"

At this time, a sharp sound of air friction was heard in the sky, and at the same time a hurricane blew past, shaking the treetops.

Xiao Lihua suppressed her hair from blowing in the wind, looked up and saw the fighter planes roaring across the sky. She couldn't help but show joy, "Langze and the others are back!"

She quickly packed up her things, then drew a door on the drawing board, and then with a casual grab, the door became real.

Xiao Lihua placed the door against the tree trunk, grabbed the door handle and pushed it hard, then went inside.

When she came out from the other side of the door, there was a plain in front of her. Behind her was a small wooden house. There was another house next to it. Although it looked like a wooden house, it was actually made of metal.

Xiao Lihua closed the door and looked up at the fighter jets circling in the sky.

She waved to the sky.

The one who responded to her was a figure jumping down from a fighter plane. It was a young man with wolf ears and a wolf tail. He spread his limbs wide, letting the wind blow up his clothes, making them rustle.

He was not wearing any landing gear, but when he was about to fall straight to the ground, a gust of wind suddenly rose from the ground. With the help of this wind, the boy landed steadily on the ground.

"Yeah, safe landing!"

Langze cheered, took off his goggles and smiled happily.

"Langze, Xingxing, you are back!" Xiao Lihua ran over.

"Little Lihua!" Langze greeted the girl.

At the same time, a cat's head popped out of the spirit storage bag hanging on his chest.

The little black cat no longer looks like a kitten, but it is still small and delicate. Its light blue eyes are breathtakingly beautiful in the sunlight, but it's a pity that it lacks a lively look.

"Pear blossoms..."

Zheng Xing called out softly as a response to Xiao Lihua, and then quickly retracted into the spirit storage bag.

Over the years, under Langze's influence, although his personality is not as autistic and lonely as when he was a child, he is still very introverted and will avoid seeing people if possible.

Xiao Lihua was no longer surprised. In fact, she felt it was very rare that Zheng Xing took the initiative to come out and greet her, and she was very happy.

"How was the battle this time?" she asked Langze.

"Of course it went smoothly!"

Langze pressed a button on his chest, and the protective suit that seemed a bit heavy on him automatically shrank into a necklace, leaving him only with a training suit.

It was still the set that A Yan made for them. Even though he had grown into an eighteen-year-old boy, this set of training clothes still fit him well.

"With us taking action, of course we will succeed immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lihua couldn't help but laugh, "That's a good idiom."

Langze raised his chin, "Yoyo, you've been tutoring me every day, and my idioms have improved a lot!"

Little Lihua nodded and praised him just once, and the little wolf's tail was raised to the sky again, just like when he was a child.

At this time, the fighter jets in the sky slowly descended.

After it came to a complete stop, the cabin door opened and a figure in a fiery red training suit walked down from it.

This is a young man in his early twenties, with a flamboyant red hair blown messy by the wind. His handsome face still has a bit of childishness, but also reveals the firmness and tenacity of youth.

He walked down the stairs, looking cool and arrogant.

"Lielie." Xiao Lihua greeted him.

"Um."

Ran Lie nodded, his eyes passed over Xiao Lihua and fell behind her, as if he was looking for something. When he found that she was alone, he paused slightly and then withdrew his gaze.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw a faint light coming from the teleportation array next to the wooden house, and then a petite girl in a pink and white dress appeared on it.

"Sister Weiwei!" Little Lihua, who noticed the movement, ran over happily.

"Little pear flower."

Xue Wei took her hand, then walked towards Ran Lie and Lang Ze, saying with a smile, "Lang Ze, Lielie, you're back. I saw the fighter jets from afar and came over to take a look. I didn't expect it was really you."

In the past ten years, except for some deep mountain valleys, there is almost no trace of the red fog on Earth.

Those monsters no longer appear on their own initiative, so they can only be found and eliminated with great effort. Ran Lie, Lang Ze and Zheng Xing are one of the teams.

Rong Heng, Yika and Lu Li are from another team and are still outside and have not returned yet.

Hearing that Rong Heng and the others hadn't returned yet, Lang Ze immediately puffed out his chest with pride and said complacently, "Hehe, it looks like we won this time."

Xiao Lihua snorted softly, "Brother and his fighter planes are flying slowly, they must be on their way now."

With Zhengxing around, Langze and his companions never lost while flying.

Langze didn't care about that. Winning was winning anyway. "Let's go back first. Let's talk while walking. I really want to eat the food cooked by Yan Ya's mother!"

"Okay, let's go back then."

Xuewei was about to go back when she heard Ran Lie calling her. She looked at him and saw him casually throwing something to her. After she caught it, he walked straight towards the teleportation array.

"What is this?"

Little Lihua came over curiously.

Xuewei was also looking down at the thing in her hand. It was a piece of pink and purple jade with a rough surface. It didn't look very beautiful, but as long as it was polished carefully, it would definitely become very beautiful.

"Is this the jade that Susu showed us?" Xiao Lihua asked.

"That should be the case." Xuewei nodded.

Little Lihua pouted unhappily, "Lielie is so partial, he only brought you a gift."

"Because he is my senior brother."

Xuewei carefully put the jade away, then took Xiao Lihua's arm and coaxed her gently, "I'm going to make your favorite strawberry cake later. Can you have an extra piece then?"

Xiao Lihua immediately became happy, "Then I'll cut a small piece for Lielie!"

Langze, who heard their conversation, immediately pricked up his ears, "What about me? Can I have one more piece?"

"This is what Sister Weiwei made for me!"

"Don't be so stingy, Lihua, you're the best~"

Ran Lie, who had already arrived next to the teleportation array, heard their conversation. He crossed his arms and snorted in disdain.

He doesn't like strawberry cake or anything like that...

As a result, when he glanced back, he happened to meet the girl's smiling eyes. He was slightly stunned, then withdrew his gaze uncomfortably and walked onto the teleportation array.

"Are you guys leaving or not?" he asked without turning his head.

“Here I come!”

Langze and the others followed, and as the light dimmed, they disappeared on the teleportation array.

In the bamboo forest by the river bank.

Ten years have passed, and the earth has undergone tremendous changes, but this bamboo forest still retains its previous appearance. Except that it has grown a little more lush, everything is the same as before.

Even the young man lying on the recliner has remained the same for ten years. The cubs have grown up, but he still looks the same as when they first met ten years ago, without even the slightest change.

"Susu."

A Yan appeared beside him, looking at him with the same gentle and doting eyes, "Langze and the others are back."

"Um."

Su Ci lazily opened his eyes, yawned, looked at the sky that was slowly being dyed orange, and said, "Can we have dinner now?"

"Yes, I prepared a welcoming banquet." A Yan said.

Su Ci chuckled, "It seems the children will be very happy today."

Although A Yan likes to cook, he basically only serves Su Ci. Unless he is in a very good mood, he will give the children a share.

"Yes, today is a day worth celebrating."

Most of the resentment in the earth has been consumed by the purifying plants, and the remaining resentment will not be a big threat even without the seal.

Su Ci heard the hidden meaning in A Yan's words, but his expression was a little puzzled. He looked quietly at the sunset in the distance, and after a while he said, "Let's go and see him."

Their figures disappeared from the spot, and when they reappeared, they had already arrived at the underground sealing barrier.

In this dark void, the man in red, who was bound by chains, was still sitting quietly in the same place. Ten years were just a blink of an eye for him.

"I'll remove the seal." Su Ci stepped forward and said.

"Wait."

The man in red raised his head, and his pair of golden-red eyes looked at him and A Yan quietly through the white mask.

A Yan was a little puzzled, but he heard the man say calmly: "Su Ci, I gave myself a name."

"Su Lu," he said.

A Yan couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Su Ci, but Su Ci seemed to have guessed it long ago, and there was not much surprise on his face.

He stared at another part of his soul with an inexplicable look in his eyes and asked softly, "Have you made up your mind?"

Su Lu took off his mask, revealing a stunning face that was exactly the same as Su Ci's.

"yes."

He looked at Su Ci, slightly curling the corners of his lips, his golden-red eyes shining.

"From today on, I am Su Lu."
