A gust of cold wind blew against her. Even with Mo Tian embracing her, Wan'er still felt a chill. She quickly opened her eyes, which had been closed.
The light in front of me was different; it turned out that it was already daylight, and the room where I and Mo Tian had been was gone.
The two were standing in the forest, on a clearing, grassy area with several stones piled on the ground, and on a larger stone not far from their feet.
Two sets of clothes were laid out: one was a cotton-padded coat prepared for Wan'er, and the other was a set of clothes that Mo Tian had worn before, belonging to Uncle Mercury...
"Hurry up and put it on, don't catch a cold!" Reluctantly letting go of Wan'er, Mo Tian stepped forward, bent down to pick up the clothes from the ground, draped the coat over Wan'er's shoulders, and then turned back to pick up his own clothes and began to put them on...
The clothes warmed me instantly as soon as I put them on.
"Brother Motian, look." Wan'er turned to the side and immediately saw a huge rock on the hillside two meters away to her right, covered with mottled moss and traces of water flow...
But at this moment, looking up, on the moss-covered rock, about two meters in the center, a seven-colored light appeared, and the faint image of an old tortoise appeared in the light.
It seems the old tortoise immortal is saying goodbye to us.
The two exchanged a glance. Mo Tian, who was already dressed, turned around, took Wan'er's hand, and walked towards the stone. Together with Wan'er, they bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your kindness, old immortal."
"You're making this old man too uncomfortable. There's no need for such formalities, esteemed guests. This is simply my duty. It's a rare opportunity for this old man to meet you two venerable masters, a truly fortunate event in my life. Although there were some minor hiccups along the way, they were undoubtedly trials you two had to endure. As the saying goes, leave the effort to yourself and the results to time. Alright, enough said. I've been through a lot last night and have used up a lot of my energy. I need to rest properly. I won't keep you company any longer. From now on, we'll have to rely on you two venerable masters..." The old tortoise immortal spoke slowly and deliberately, but it seemed to have a deeper meaning.
"Then we'll respectfully see you off, Immortal!" Wan'er and Mo Tian were ultimately grateful, so they bowed again to see him off.
As soon as he finished speaking, the light on the opposite stone wall disappeared, and at the same time, the pattern of the old tortoise also vanished.
The scene before me returned to calm, just a desolate, ordinary hillside.
"Now, it's time for us to go home." Looking up at the hillside, Wan'er let out a long sigh and shook her arms. However, when she lifted her feet, she suddenly found that her legs were weak. Her heart tightened, and she looked down at herself. Her feet were definitely there. Wan'er couldn't help but wonder, "What happened?"
"Let me see," Mo Tian reached out and felt Wan'er's pulse, his expression changing slightly, "So, your true form isn't here."
"I know, my body is still at home." Wan'er sighed, her nose suddenly feeling a little sore. With the end of the year approaching, her uncle and great-uncle must be very worried about her.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go back quickly." Mo Tian's lips curled into a half-smile, and he naturally took Wan'er's hand that was leaning against him. "I'm here for you. I'll carry you."
“Yes, let’s go back now, my little prince,” Wan’er tilted her head and looked at Mo Tian playfully, “I have a mysterious gift for you.”
"Naughty child, let's see what tricks you're up to," Mo Tian turned around, reached out his other hand to pinch Wan'er's cheek, and nodded in agreement. However, just as he was about to squat down, he suddenly remembered something.
