Immediately afterwards, as if out of control, she also reached out her right hand and placed it on the fruit.
It can perfectly cover up the handprints printed inside!
I never expected the hand inside to be about the same size as me!
Before she could continue to be surprised, she realized that the seemingly small hand was actually about the same size as her own, and felt a warm, jade-like touch on her own hand.
That wasn't all; the hand on the inside of the fruit suddenly clasped her hand tightly with its fingers, almost holding her right hand firmly.
Upon seeing this, Xu Ling panicked and instinctively pulled her hand back.
This scene wasn't pleasant for her; it felt like something out of a horror movie, no, a thriller!
She was terrified. Could this be some kind of mutated species?
Although she shouldn't doubt the Tree of Life, at this moment, for her own safety, she had no choice but to do so.
However, for some reason, Xu Ling had a feeling of déjà vu.
It seems she had encountered this once before.
But that shouldn't be the case!
She was certain she had never encountered this before!
The fear in my heart was magnified infinitely, and even my hands trembled slightly.
A soft, ethereal laugh drifted by, seemingly near yet far. "Don't be afraid."
The voice, filled with boundless laughter, said again, "Lingling, don't be afraid."
The way the voice addressed her startled Xu Ling, and her hands stopped trembling.
Isn't this the nickname the Tree of Life calls her?
Is this the Tree of Life?
Xu Ling: "Are you the Tree of Life?"
If it were the Tree of Life, Xu Ling wouldn't be afraid at all.
Unfortunately, the reply from that voice disappointed Xu Ling.
“No,” the voice said playfully. Although it denied it, it didn’t leave Xu Ling guessing any further and directly revealed who it was. “I’m right in front of you.”
In front of her?
Isn't that—a red fruit?!
Following the words, Xu Ling's gaze returned to the fruit, and this time, her eyes were filled with surprise.
"You can talk?"
This was Xu Ling's first question, and before the other party could answer, she asked her second one.
"What exactly are you?"
Forgive her for speaking so bluntly at this moment, mainly because her right hand was still in the other person's hand, and Xu Ling had no intention of saying anything else.
Fortunately, the other party did not take Xu Ling's words to heart, but instead found them quite amusing and chuckled.
This is the first time someone has referred to her as something.
"Lingling, don't you know who I am?"
"We've met before!"
The voice suddenly seemed to tangibly mock Xu Ling.
However, it quickly seemed to realize something and said, "Ah, I almost forgot, you don't remember."
However, the information revealed in just a few words made Xu Ling's eyes widen in surprise.
What's the meaning?
What do you mean she doesn't remember?
Did she really see it before?
Because of this sentence, Xu Ling couldn't help but start to review all her experiences since coming here.
After much deliberation, she was absolutely certain that apart from a few reliable individuals, she had never met anyone else!
Could it be that we met in a past life?
Xu Ling's thoughts wandered, and the sudden appearance of this idea startled her.
Could it really be a case of meeting an old friend in a foreign land?!
The fear of having his right hand tightly held vanished instantly.
Excitement shone in Xu Ling's eyes.
"You...you're not from the same hometown, are you?"
These words were about to slip out.
Just then, the red fruit suddenly emitted another burst of light, interrupting Xu Ling's unfinished words.
A soft green light enveloped Xu Ling and the fruit. To others, the green light appeared to be like a cocoon, enveloping Xu Ling and the fruit and preventing them from seeing what was happening inside.
Xu Ling was in the middle of it and was not blinded by the green light.
She watched as the red fruit shattered and vanished before her eyes, leaving no trace.
This also allowed Xu Ling to see clearly what was inside.
Xu Ling then discovered that there was a person curled up inside the fruit. Apart from the hand that was tightly clasped with hers and the snow-white skin that could be seen along the hand, she could not see any other characteristics of this person.
No, that's not all. Xu Ling then realized that she had long, emerald-green hair all over her body.
Her long hair floated in mid-air, swirling and twisting, some of it playfully brushing against Xu Ling's cheek.
"you--"
The person, who had been curled up, slowly raised her head, revealing her face.
It was a face so exquisite that even admiration seemed superfluous. Even though the person in front of her hadn't opened their eyes yet, that captivating face immediately drew Xu Ling's attention, leaving her speechless as if she had lost her voice.
It was a slightly feminine face, paired with long, vibrant green hair, and Xu Ling secretly confirmed that this was a woman.
Moreover, she was a woman who wasn't very old, perhaps even a few years younger than her.
Xu Ling's gaze was almost tangible; the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly before she opened her eyes.
Those were dark green eyes, with a hint of innocence, as if they were curious about who Xu Ling was.
However, Xu Ling soon realized that it was just her imagination.
