Ruoruo was so happy she almost jumped up: "Thank you, Your Majesty! You are such a kind person, beautiful inside and out."
The Queen did not ask what she wanted to borrow it for, but only instructed her: "Divine artifacts have different temperaments. If you want to use them together, you must get along with them beforehand. Stay in the Realm of Immortality for a few more days and let the Tongtian Wood get used to your aura."
Mo Yunlan raised an eyebrow slightly. How come he didn't know that letting a divine artifact become familiar with its aura would allow him to borrow it at will?
If one dislikes a divine artifact, no matter how familiar one is with its aura, one cannot use it without a contract.
Unless the master commands the artifact.
The queen's words seemed more like an attempt to coax the young girl into staying and playing for a few more days.
"Your Majesty! The Tongtian Wood is the foundation of our royal city. How can you just give it up like that? Are you suggesting we tear down the royal city and let her take the Tongtian Wood away?" An elder on the side was extremely anxious as he watched the queen completely ignore his words.
He knew that this young girl had a special identity, and he never thought of refusing her outright. He could let go of Yue Ling Sha, but this Tongtian Wood was truly no ordinary divine artifact.
"This matter can be discussed with the spirit of the Tongtian Wood. If all else fails, we can move the royal city to another location," the Queen said calmly.
It was as if they weren't discussing the relocation of the capital, but rather just the weather that day.
"Your Majesty, our royal city is the result of tens of thousands of years of painstaking effort. If we just move it, all the hard work of our ancestors will be reduced to ashes," the elder said with great sorrow.
The houses are a minor matter, but these array runes are repaired year after year and improved day by day. They are linked one after another, layer upon layer, with the Tongtian Wood as the core, and the continuous runes almost cover the entire Changsheng Realm.
If the Tongtian Tree is disturbed, the entire rune defense formation of the Longevity Realm will be rendered useless!
Ruoruo felt a little uneasy after hearing the elder's advice. When she saw the Tongtian Wood, she knew that it would be difficult to borrow it, but she did not expect that the Tongtian Wood would be so important to the Longevity Realm.
Ruoruo bit her lip: "How about I don't borrow the Heavenly Wood..."
Once she collects all ten divine artifacts, she can activate the forbidden technique. Currently, including the Kunlun Sword, there are eleven divine artifacts in the world. At worst, she can just spend more time searching for the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
Ruoruo did not want to implicate the entire world of immortality for her own benefit.
"It's alright, take it if you want, I'll take care of the rest," the queen said decisively.
The elder below was ashen-faced and looked like he was about to pass out.
Ruoruo quickly shook her head: "I'm only using it for a moment, but it's going to cause the destruction of your entire clan's homeland. That's too absurd. I won't use it."
The elder gripped his cane tightly, his face full of satisfaction: "As expected... even the young prince has said so, Your Majesty must reconsider."
The queen's indifferent expression turned slightly displeased: "If you don't force her, Ruoruo will naturally get what she wants. Have you forgotten your own origins and life force?"
The elder's face flushed red, and he slowly lowered his head: "Cheng was only thinking of the young people of the Longevity Realm. If the formation is destroyed, the Longevity Realm will be completely exposed to the outside world, and who knows how many unscrupulous people will come to plunder and kill us."
Even with such strict precautions, clansmen are still going missing from time to time. If the formation were to fail, the consequences would be unimaginable. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
Ruoruo recalled Feng Qiwu being captured and taken away to refine elixirs, and felt a pang of sympathy: "What this old man said makes a lot of sense. Your Majesty, it was Ruoruo who was unreasonable to make such a request."
"This is none of your business." The queen's words carried a hint of annoyance, and she looked as if she was about to lash out at the elder.
Mo Jinyan quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Actually, there is another solution. When Ruoruo needs to use the Tongtian Wood, let her communicate with the spirit of the Tongtian Wood and use it in the Changsheng Realm. Ruoruo doesn't need to take the Tongtian Wood with her."
Only Mo Jinyan knows best how the forbidden technique is used; since he has said so, it must be feasible.
Ruoruo immediately chimed in, "Third Brother is right. This way, you won't have to touch the royal city, and I can borrow the Tongtian Wood."
The queen was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "Ruo Ruo, you are too kind and soft-hearted."
Seeing that there was a solution to the problem, the elder stopped worrying and even presented Ruoruo with a lot of spiritual medicine and food with a sense of guilt: "Your Highness is kind and generous. This old minister thanks Your Highness."
Ruoruo felt a little reluctant to see an elder who was fighting for the sake of protecting his people lower himself to her, a little girl.
She immediately returned the favor, giving all the remaining pills she had previously refined to the elder: "These are pills I recently developed. Giving them to the young beings in the Longevity Realm can help them strengthen their meridians and stimulate their primordial spiritual power, which is beneficial for cultivation and laying a solid foundation. Elder Grandpa, these are all for you."
The elder's eyes suddenly reddened, and he bowed deeply to Ruoruo: "Thank you, Your Highness."
The somewhat tense atmosphere at the banquet instantly became harmonious again.
Mo Yunlan calmly observed the people of the Immortal Realm.
Apart from the Wutongmu clan, which paid close attention to Mo Jinyan and had many young members approach him to talk, most of the others focused their attention on Ruoruo.
Mo Yunlan found it rather strange.
Ruoruo is very good and cute, and her true form is very alluring. But if these people really like Ruoruo, why did they allow the Wutongmu clan to keep them under house arrest in their clan territory without asking about them?
But if they came because of Ruoruo's identity, the Changsheng Realm and the Immortal Realm have always had a distant relationship, so they wouldn't be so eager to please her.
There was something strange about this banquet.
Ruoruo didn't think too much about it and happily ate and drank her fill, her little belly round and full.
Then the Queen held him in her arms and personally escorted him to the Jianmu Temple.
Mo Yunlan took a deep look at the name of the palace.
A flash of inspiration crossed my mind, but it vanished in an instant.
After Ruoruo drifted off to sleep in her soft, cuddly state, the Queen left the palace.
Mo Yunlan dismissed all the palace maids, and Ruoruo, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, immediately opened her eyes.
"Second brother, third brother, I feel like something's not right."
Mo Yunlan said "Oh": "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Ruoruo bit her finger and said, "Father loves me very much, and Mother loves me very much too, but they would not tear down the entire Immortal Realm to make me happy just because of a request I made, the purpose of which is unknown."
Sitting on the throne, one naturally has to protect one's people.
"The ruler of the Immortal Realm seems to like me very much and treats me very well, but today is our first meeting and she wants to abandon her people for me. How strange."
“It is indeed a bit strange,” Mo Jinyan said. “The Divine Grade Wutong Clan wanted to discuss a contract with me, which is why they were so close to me. But what was the Queen’s purpose?”
“Since we all have doubts, why don’t we go out and investigate?” A sharp glint flashed in Mo Yunlan’s eyes. “I’m afraid they want to use Ruoruo for something.”
