The little wooden man sat on Ruoruo's shoulder and followed her out of its spatial secret realm.
Like the chessboard of heaven and earth, it has its own internal space, and the space is extremely large, which can be changed according to one's will.
The Tongtianmu is actually most skilled in illusion magic, with various transformation techniques that can see through people's inner desires and then trap them in an illusion, allowing it to manipulate them at will.
Ruoruo blinked: "My desire is roasted crane and Third Brother?"
The little wooden figure covered its face: "Peeping into someone's heart will hurt them. I can't bear to look into the deepest part of your heart."
It had no intention of hurting Ruoruo.
So I only took a superficial look at Ruoruo.
In this unfamiliar place, Ruoruo naturally wanted to see her third brother the most. After soaking in the medicinal spring, she was a little hungry and wanted to eat roasted crane.
The little wooden man dared not explore any further, and with these two things, he hoped to persuade Ruoruo to stay.
Unexpectedly, in the end, not only did they fail to keep the person, but they themselves were also abducted.
It swung its little feet and leaned happily against Ruoruo's head.
Its owner never lies to it; if it says it will come back, it will. Even if its owner doesn't remember it now, it doesn't matter, as long as it can be with its owner, that's enough.
As soon as Ruoruo came out, she saw the boy who was tied to the air by the moon silk gauze and exclaimed in surprise, "Third Brother, what are you doing here?"
Mo Jinyan's pale golden eyes were filled with the joy of surviving a disaster: "Ruo Ruo, you're alright, that's really great. The ruler of the Immortal Realm has me tied up here and won't let me go to you. She said you're making a contract with the Heavenly Wood. I may have misunderstood her."
If Ruoruo knew that her sudden disappearance must have worried her third brother, then he must have had some conflict with that emperor, which is why he was tied up here.
"It's alright, Third Brother, the Queen won't be angry." The Queen was very tolerant of them all, and now she was only tying Third Brother up.
She quickly went up and tugged at Yue Lingsha, trying to rescue her third brother.
The moment her hand touched the moon silk gauze, it automatically loosened and obediently transformed into a thin ribbon, which tied around Ruoruo's wrist.
"Third Brother, why have your eyes turned gold?" Ruoruo ignored Yue Lingsha; she was only worried about Mo Jinyan.
Seeing that Ruoruo wasn't paying attention to it, Yue Ling Sha shook itself somewhat aggrievedly, only to be suddenly grabbed by a small wooden hand.
The soft moon-like gauze suddenly stiffened, as if trying desperately to escape.
The little wooden man grabbed him tightly and tied a bow around his neck, turning the bow pink.
If it likes bows, it needs to dress itself up nicely.
Mo Jinyan looked away somewhat guiltily: "I burned a little bit of phoenix blood, so my eyes turned this color."
Ruoruo's face hardened. What did she mean by "just a little bit of phoenix blood was burned"? Phoenix Snow was clearly not something that could be burned casually!
Mo Jinyan must have used some forbidden technique to turn himself into this.
"Can the color of the eyes change back?" Ruoruo asked.
Mo Jinyan hesitated for a moment: "It probably can't."
The consequences of forbidden techniques are irreversible.
Ruoruo pouted, her eyes slightly red: "Third Brother is always doing reckless things, Ruoruo is so worried."
"Don't cry, don't cry," Mo Jinyan quickly comforted her. "It's just that your eyes have changed color, it doesn't matter. Don't you look good?"
She is beautiful, but one can imagine what sacrifices her third brother made for her to achieve such beauty. Ruoruo would rather not be this beautiful.
Mo Jinyan held Ruoruo and patted her back, gently coaxing her for a while. Ruoruo rubbed her eyes to calm down.
Crying is useless; she should just make more tonics for her third brother.
"How did the royal city become like this?" Ruoruo asked with some worry, looking at the ruins of the former royal city. "What about the Changsheng people who lived in the royal city? What about the king? Are they alright?"
Mo Jinyan explained what had happened to her: "It's nothing, but with such a tall tree collapsing, I wonder if the formation in the Realm of Immortality will still be stable."
Ruoruo looked down at the little wooden figure on her shoulder: "Little Wooden Figure, can you help stabilize the formation of the Immortal Realm? You used to be the core of the formation, but if you want to come with me now, you have to solve the formation problem first."
She couldn't let the entire formation of the Longevity Realm be destroyed just to take the Heavenly Wood away.
“It’s alright, Queen Miao Miao can create formations,” Tongtianmu said.
It had been here to protect Miaomiao and wait for Ruoruo to return, but now it was determined to go with Ruoruo and was unwilling to fall into darkness and loneliness again.
Therefore, the task of maintaining the formation can only be entrusted to the Queen.
As long as the female ruler takes root in the Realm of Immortality and merges with the formation, the formation and barrier of the Realm of Immortality will not be destroyed, and the Immortal Clan will not fall into the same situation as before, where they were exposed to the world and plundered.
However, in that case, the queen would probably never be able to step out of the royal city for the rest of her life.
Just like before.
Out of selfishness, Tongtianmu kept these things a secret from Ruoruo.
I'm afraid that if Ruoruo finds out, she won't be able to bear to part with the Queen and will put it back as the core of the formation.
It wasn't that it didn't trust Ruoruo; it was just that it was afraid to take the risk, and it was truly terrified of being alone.
Ruoruo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the female ruler could act as the core of the formation: "That's good. Let's go find the ruler and tell her about this."
They hadn't gone far when the Queen came to greet them: "The magic on the Moon Silk Gauze was broken, so I knew you must have come out."
She looked at the little wooden figure on Ruoruo's shoulder, her eyes softening: "Mumu, it's been a long time. You're free now."
The Babel tree, bound to promises and responsibilities for millions of years, has finally found its destined owner.
The ribbon tied by the moon silk swayed wildly, as if saying, "Master, please look at me first!"
The queen raised her hand and summoned Yue Lingsha back, saying helplessly, "It's been so many years, why are you still bullying Yue Lingsha?"
The little wooden figure chuckled, "Because it's stupid."
Ruoruo tapped its head: "You can't bully other artifacts."
The little wooden figure covered its head and let out a pitiful "oh".
Mo Jinyan was dumbfounded, staring at the tiny wooden figure, no thicker than a finger: "Is this the Tongtian Wood?"
“Yes,” Ruoruo said, holding up the little wooden figure. “This is the Tongtian Wood, and this is my third brother.”
The Tongtianmu tree shyly extended its small wooden hand: "Third Brother, hello."
Mo Jinyan was afraid that he would pull his wooden hand off if he used even a little force, so he shook his wooden hand with his fingertips, still looking a little dazed.
The legendary Tongtianmu tree, which supposedly reaches the heavens and the earth, is actually quite small in size.
