——In ancient times, there was a tree called the Falling Moon. As the years increased, it was even taller than the Great Chun. One hundred thousand years was its spring, and one hundred thousand years was its autumn. It had a long and lasting life.

This was the legend that Yan Yu whispered to himself when he named Yan Luoyue.

Yan Luoyue never thought that one day she would actually see the Luoyue Tree.

Little did she expect that the tree with the same name as her would have such a... visible presence.

Yes, it is bright, extremely bright.

Even at such a great distance, the lush green sacred tree still has a strong presence.

Because it is so far away, it looks a bit like a telephone pole. If Yan Luoyue retreats thousands of miles from its current position, due to the relative visual effect of near and far things being small, it will look like a straight and elegant chopstick.

But no chopsticks in the world can be as proud and unquestioning as the Falling Moon Tree, and from a distance, it looks like the pillar of the entire demon world.

Yan Luoyue believed that the true form of the Luoyue Tree must be very tall and strong.

If you can get closer to see it, its trunk may be as tall as a mountain, and its sprawling and luxuriant canopy may be as tall as the sea.

So grand, so magnificent, its mere existence seems like a miracle that can never be achieved by human power.

No wonder the Moon-falling Tree is called a sacred object.

After all, apart from the endless vastness of heaven and earth, it is difficult to imagine how such a creature could be carved out.

After staring at the Falling Moon Tree for a few seconds, Yan Luoyue finally gathered his thoughts and turned to look at Wu Manshuang beside him.

When she looked over, Wu Manshuang had just turned her gaze away.

There was a strong sense of nostalgia in the little snake's expression.

If there was anything in the demon world worth reminiscing about in his weakest memories when he was born, it would probably be the eternally lush green beauty of the Falling Moon Tree.

"Remember, I once taught you how to identify the direction of the demon world?"

Wu Manshuang had a faint smile on her lips: "In fact, in the Demon Realm, in addition to judging the direction based on the vortex in the sky, the Falling Moon Tree growing in the center of the Demon Realm is also like a divine needle that determines the boundary."

Looking at the pink sky above his head and two or three whirlpools formed by huge purple-red air masses in the air, Yan Luoyue suddenly revealed a sly smile.

"Ah... I remembered Jingxuan."

The little nun Shen Jingxuan can perform a set of golden photovoltaic magic fists with a clicking sound effect.

Back then, Yan Luoyue, Shen Jingxuan and Wu Manshuang had once gone on a fantastic adventure in a lair that was a complete replica of the Demon Realm.

Wu Manshuang obviously also remembered the little wizard who was always lost.

He understood the meaning of the music and immediately understood Yan Luoyue's teasing: "Do you think Master Jingxuan will like this place?"

"I think she will like it." Yan Luoyue smiled wickedly, "If she gets lost in the demon world, she can just turn around and walk towards the Falling Moon Tree."

For people with a poor sense of direction, the most convenient way to find the way is of course through large, iconic buildings that can be seen at a glance.

Before entering the demon world, Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang had concealed their auras.

So even though they had been there for a while, the monsters did not come in droves like hungry ghosts who smelled the fragrant crispy meat.

Only two or three weak monsters noticed the two men's unique appearance.

These little monsters tried to rush up and start a meal, but were instantly killed by Wu Manshuang.

Yan Luoyue took out two robes and put them on Wu Manshuang and herself respectively.

After putting on the robes, they turned into Green-maned Demons in the eyes of outsiders.

This is the magical instrument she refined for curing dragons. She never expected it would be useful in such an environment.

From the moment they entered the demon world, the rolling heat waves and strong smell of sulfur in the air hit them in the face.

At first, Yan Luoyue thought this was a special environment in the demon world.

But soon, as she approached the edge of the rock, she realized that this was not the case.

"…Lava River?"

With his eyebrows moving, Yan Luoyue muttered to himself.

Right below their feet, the rock passage was rough and porous, and looked very much like the lumps left over from a volcanic eruption.

A canyon split open mercilessly in front of Yan Luoyue, and in the huge canyon cracks flowed hot lava that looked like red-hot iron.

They converge into rivers, constantly emitting a strong and pungent smell of sulfur.

Yan Luoyue touched his chin, and the doubts in his heart were finally answered.

"If that's the case, then I understand why so many monsters gather in this forbidden area."

You know, the forbidden area and the demon seal of Pingning Mountains are only a hundred or two hundred miles apart.

In this forbidden area, the monster army broke through the innermost earthen seal.

Medium-sized and high-level monsters are blocked in the second-level magic seal.

In addition, there are countless low-level monsters, as well as high-level monsters carrying the Falling Moon Tree, gathered on the first level of the forbidden area.

Their total number added together could be counted in the tens of thousands.

To be honest, even in the Demon War three thousand years ago, this was considered a medium-sized battle.

And in the Pingning Mountains, every year monks enter the first two layers of the seal to clear out the monsters and then reinforce the most important third layer of the seal.

Since the number of monsters in the Pingning Mountains is well controlled, it doesn't make sense that there would be so many monsters suddenly within a hundred or two hundred miles.

Unless they gather an army and come prepared.

But now Yan Luoyue knew: this lava river was like a natural barrier, blocking the traffic between the two sides.

Therefore, the seal of the Pingning Mountains and the seal of the forbidden area correspond to two different continents.

The huge number of monsters in the forbidden area is probably the result of their accumulation over a long period of time.

Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang walked forward for a while, and if they encountered monsters on the way, they would kill them.

For the two of them, the original purpose of this trip was to repair the seal.

But since we have already entered the demon world, we should try our best to wipe out the monsters around.

After completing this task, Yan Luoyue wanted to head towards the Luoyue Tree and take a look near the sacred tree.

...For some reason, Yan Luoyue had a very good impression of that tree.

She admired its lush green color and upright posture, and felt that this moon-falling tree, whether its lush branches or its twisted roots, was full of natural beauty.

Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang share their feelings.

As always, the little snake did not refute Luoyue's point of view.

Moreover, Wu Manshuang also agreed with this: "The Moonlit Tree...it is very beautiful and warm."

Logically speaking, green is a cool color and there is no warm feeling from it.

However, considering that Wu Manshuang's eyes were fixed on Yan Luoyue while she was speaking.

Yan Luoyue very impolitely treated it as a metaphor of the little snake and accepted the compliment with a smile.

Yan Luoyue and the other person continued to move forward and soon dived into the mountain.

They soon discovered that most of the mountain had been hollowed out.

The monsters dug the mountain into a huge, spacious building like a skyscraper that can accommodate all the monsters.

There is no light in the belly of the mountain, so the monsters found creatures or minerals that can emit light and hung them above the room like lamps.

The items in the demon world are very rough in style.

With Jiang Tingbai's straw weaving skills, if he chooses to seek re-employment here, I believe he will easily find a job and become a leader among them.

The deeper the two Green-Maned Demons walked into the building, the stranger their expressions became.

Normally, monsters build structures and live in groups.

This should be evidence of a higher level of civilization and the ability of different races to work together.

However, as soon as Yan Luoyue and the others entered the building, a gust of sharp claw wind blew towards them.

They thought their attire gave them away, so they quickly killed the Shadow Fiend that was swaggering towards them.

But the two checked each other and found no loopholes.

"...Maybe it's just hungry and wants to eat?"

Wu Manshuang guessed with some uncertainty.

"Is it mentally retarded?" Yan Luoyue was very shocked. "Even if it turns into a green-maned demon, we are still green-maned demons wearing clothes."

If there is no shortage of food, even the most common beasts will be less likely to kill creatures that can communicate with them.

For creatures with similar behavioral logic to oneself, the killing intent will be reduced further.

- For example, if a dog wearing clothes suddenly runs into your unit.

Who would think without hesitation and then kill the dog and stew its meat?

Wu Manshuang proposed a second guess: "Or, a big battle broke out between the Green Mane Demon and the Shadow Piercer, and they are in the hostile period?"

As soon as he asked the question, he felt unsteady on his feet.

After all, in the monster atlas that Wu Manshuang had, there was no place for the Greenmane Demon to fight the Shadowpiercer Demon.

They are only worthy of having their shadows controlled by the Shadow Fiend, their skin peeled off, and then made into a large green-bristled brush.

The two of them guessed wildly for a while, but couldn't find the answer.

So we had to continue going down along the passage inside the mountain.

Then, in less than half a minute, they encountered another unicorn that wanted to kill them.

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Wu Manshuang: “…”

The customs and practices of the demon world are so unfriendly.

Before the unicorn died, its tone was still very surprised: "How brave of you to walk this way - you are not Green Mane Demons?"

During the whole process, it only had time to say these two sentences.

When it said its first sentence, Wu Manshuang took action.

Then, the second sentence became the unicorn's last words.

But we can also hear from these two sentences that the unicorn demon did not attack Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang because he saw through their disguises.

It attacked Yan Luoyue and the other person, probably just wanting to attack them.

This encounter brought more doubts to Yan Luoyue. She and Wu Manshuang looked at each other, and both of them frowned.

Next, as they went down, the levels of the monsters they encountered became lower and lower.

But the number of times the two of them, or rather, the two "Green Maned Demons" were attacked was increasing.

As he pondered the logic behind this, Yan Luoyue's brows furrowed even more tightly.

This building...is like a pyramid of power.

Weak monsters live at the bottom, which is dull, closer to lava, and has higher temperatures.

The powerful monsters live on the top layer with a better environment, and have the right to hunt the monsters on the bottom layer at will.

"I have a bad feeling."

Yan Luoyue said with a gloomy face: "No one has ever taken the Demon World Customs Test, right?"

About the hierarchy of the demon world, about the social order of the demon world creatures, and about the customs and habits of the monsters...

Yan Luoyue once thought that since the monsters were able to gather a large army to attack, they should be highly civilized and have bred many monsters.

Later, she learned that in the Demon Realm, monsters would devour each other, and guessed that they might be in a kind of slavery society.

But now it seems that the rule of the jungle is terribly naked in the demon world.

Chaos and order, killing and survival... two completely conflicting phenomena exist harmoniously and spontaneously in this building.

Wu Manshuang asked, "Do you want to continue going down?"

Just now, they have found the source of water in this building.

Then, Wu Manshuang washed her hands inside.

He deliberately selected a toxin that had a long incubation period but would be quite severe when it occurred.

It can be said that by this point, the two parties have exceeded their mission.

Even on the top floor of the building, the power of the Shadow Demon was not enough to threaten the safety of Wu Manshuang and Yan Luoyue.

So, it doesn't matter whether they choose to go down or not.

Because in this building, the two of them can come and go as they please.

"Let's go down a little further."

Yan Luoyue lowered his head and thought for a while, then quickly made a decision.

"I'm a little curious, what will we see at the bottom of this building?"

Walking from the top of the mountain to the inner part of the mountain, one can clearly feel that the construction style of the buildings is becoming more and more crude.

If we say that the rooms opened up from the top of the mountain still have a bit of exotic sophistication.

Then starting from the mountainside, the rooms all the way down are only shabby and simple.

The contrast between the two is like that between a two-story Western-style building and a slum.

Yan Luoyue originally thought that in the very center of the mountain, she would see a dilapidated, ruined building.

As it turned out, she was wrong.

The environment in the center of the mountain is surprisingly good: apart from the stuffy air, it is not even dark.

Many hand-woven lamps and tumbled wax candles were burned day and night.

The ceiling of the room is deliberately raised, with one floor being as high as two floors, making it look very spacious.

In the room, there are several soft beds made of monster fur.

On the bed, there were several strange and disgusting figures lying: their skin was blue and purple, their faces were green and fangs, their upper bodies were like mantises, their abdomens were bulging high, and they had two insect-like flat legs.

——It was exactly the many heteroseraphim that were giving birth.

Do you remember that there was a female demon who teamed up with the young patriarch of the Lu family and wanted to make Wu Manshuang its food?

These heteroseraphs are all of its kind.

In the hall at the bottom of the mountain, the heteroseraphs are like queen ants receiving food in their nests.

They swallowed the food offered by low-level monsters - sometimes they would chew and eat the low-level monsters if they liked the food.

Without any effort, the alien demon gave birth to one monster cub after another.

These little monsters were able to move as soon as they left the body. Some of them were more powerful and hid in the corners of the room alertly.

There were also some that were clumsy and of a type that the Allosaurus was not satisfied with, so they were pierced by the Allosaurus's blade-like forelimbs, and then brought to its mouth and swallowed mercilessly.

Yan Luoyue took just one look and decisively covered her eyes.

"After I get out, I will look at the Moonlit Tree all day to heal this second."

Yan Luoyue murmured, "This thing... is really too disgusting, isn't it?"

Whether it's the hideous and ferocious appearance, the voracious eating posture, the overly extensive recipes, or the choice to eat the weak after giving birth...

This kind of creature is simply beyond Yan Luoyue's psychological bottom line!

Wu Manshuang patted Yan Luoyue's shoulder sympathetically.

He confided, "So at first, in the secret room under the Lu family, I really didn't want to be eaten by this thing..."

One reason is the instinct for survival.

Secondly, the heteroseraph is really ugly.

After the shocking stimulation at first sight, Yan Luoyue calmed down and quickly came up with a new idea of ​​turning waste into treasure.

"Actually, after watching it for a while, this heteromorph isn't that scary. Especially since it's hermaphroditic and can give birth to different kinds of monsters..."

After years of companionship, the two have already developed a tacit understanding.

As soon as Yan Luoyue raised her hand, Wu Manshuang roughly understood what she meant.

He said with a subtle expression: "Luoyue, do you want to..."

Yan Luoyue said excitedly: "Manshuang, can we kill these heterosaurus and take their bodies back as souvenirs?"

Wu Manshuang: “…”

He just knew it.

As for who this special gift should be given to, there is no need to ask.

Yan Luoyue nodded and said firmly: "Just give it to Senior Sister Lili. I think Senior Sister Lili will be able to do something extraordinary with it."

"Okay, then I'll do the work and you go give the gifts."

Wu Manshuang sighed in a serious tone and said jokingly:

"I dug the hole, and you filled it with dirt. If the head of Danfeng finds out about this and wants to punish us, let her beat us to death together."

After the division of labor was determined, Wu Manshuang did what she said.

As a weak monster with low power, a "Green Mane Demon" walked into this house without causing any suspicion.

There was a green-maned demon that was a size larger than Wu Manshuang. When he saw Wu Manshuang's empty hands, he glared at him fiercely.

Compared to monsters like the Drillbeast and the Tumbler, the Greenmane is a low-level monster with a talent for language.

At least, when it wants to communicate, it can use its hoarse voice to spell out a few meaningful characters.

"You, food, find, no?"

The next second, the green-maned demon opened its mouth wide and rushed towards Wu Manshuang.

Its attitude is also very clear - since it can't find food, it will become food.

Monsters probably naturally love chaos and blood.

After seeing the fight between the two Green-maned Demons, none of the monsters present showed any grief.

Instead, they roared with excitement and helped the big blue-maned demon.

Wu Manshuang didn't wait for the big green-maned demon to get close to her, she just raised her hand and killed it.

The larger Green-maned Demon swayed twice and fell to the ground with a thud.

The other monsters saw this, but not only did they not realize the danger was coming, they fled in all directions and made excited noises.

Some monsters even drooled at the corpse of the Great Blue-Maned Demon.

Obviously, even though they have developed a certain degree of intelligence and organization, their way of survival is still terribly barbaric and bloodthirsty.

Wu Manshuang didn't even need to take any action, as the other monsters rushed forward and cut the Green-maned Demon's body into several pieces.

The big head was given to the alien lying on the fur mattress, and some residual flesh and blood were divided equally among the other low-level monsters in the room.

It took less than a cup of tea for the toxin in the corpse to react in the bodies of many monsters.

The monsters in the hall fell to the ground like harvested crops.

Wu Manshuang stepped forward and calmly picked up several xenomorph corpses.

Just as he was about to leave with Yan Luoyue, something shiny in the fur bed attracted Wu Manshuang's attention.

His mind raced as he put away the thing and the corpse of the alien demon.

…

Only after they got out of the building built against the mountain did Yan Luoyue let out a long breath.

Compared to the oppressive, twisted and barbaric feeling of the ant nest-like building, even the hot air with the smell of sulfur seemed to be fresh for a moment.

She took several breaths in a row, and Wu Manshuang beside her suddenly extended a hand to her.

In his palm, there was a sparkling crystal ring.

"Huh?"

Relying on the fact that there is no custom of proposing with a ring in this world, Yan Luoyue was stunned for a moment and then joked with Wu Manshuang:

"No, Manshuang, it's a little early for both of us. Besides, you haven't even prepared the roses."

"Do you want to plant roses? I'll go back and ask Senior Sister Chang Lili for some seeds."

Wu Manshuang was obviously confused.

But since Yan Luoyue mentioned Rose, he was willing to keep it in mind.

"As for this ring...I just found it on the bed of the alien demon."

The monster's craftsmanship might be on par with Jiang Tingbai's.

This ring is beyond the manufacturing capabilities of monsters and does not seem to be a native product of the demon world.

Moreover, the Allodon has no fingers at all, and its forelimbs are two blade-like sections. Why does it need a ring?

Yan Luoyue also realized this, and her expression gradually became cautious.

She took the ring and examined it, only to find that the pattern on the ring was a ferocious beast head.

Somehow, this beast head with rough lines made Yan Luoyue feel a little familiar.

"I think it looks familiar too." Wu Manshuang confirmed.

The two brainstormed and recalled where they were and saw similar beasts together.

In the end, Wu Manshuang looked at the pink vortex in the sky and softly read out a name.

"Master Jingxuan."

"...What?" Yan Luoyue was a little surprised.

Wu Manshuang said firmly, "The two of us and Master Jingxuan fell into the lair together and encountered the magic tree of the demon world."

"——The Illusionary Tree controlled a demon. In the demon's storage bag, you found a ring of the same style, but that one was made of silver."

With Wu Manshuang's reminder, Yan Luoyue's memory gradually recovered.

By the way, the evil spirit named Wu Chunsheng was bewitched by the Illusion Tree and mistook the phantom condensed by the Illusion Tree as his wife.

There were not many valuable things in Wu Chunsheng's storage bag, only a small portrait of his wife and a silver ring that left a deep impression on Yan Luoyue.

The statue is self-explanatory, but as for the ring...

"This ring...it's proof of who is the champion of the Silver Light Arena."

Depending on the material, the Silver Arena will give the champion an animal head ring made of black iron, bronze, silver, gold, crystal, or jade as a symbol of honor.

It is not reasonable that such a thing should appear in the demon world, let alone in the basement of the demon world, the lair of the hetero-mother demon.

Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang looked at each other, both of them had strange expressions.

How do I describe this feeling?

It's a bit like humans conquering Antarctica, beating up all the penguins, and then finding an iPad charging in the king penguin's nest.

——Can someone explain why there is an iPad here? !

At this moment, Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang looked at each other with the same emotion:

Why is there a Silver Arena ring on the Allopath's bed?

Unfortunately, the demon in question had already been killed by Wu Manshuang and turned into a souvenir dead demon, so this question could not be answered.

So, Yan Luoyue put away the crystal ring and made a final decision: "After we get out, we will go to the Silver Light Arena to find out what's going on."

As for now, Yan Luoyue was unwilling to waste this rare one-day trip to the Demon Realm.

She wanted to check in at the famous attraction in the demon world - the Moon-falling Tree.

The demon creatures' ability to move is low, their manufacturing capabilities are relatively primitive, and they have not yet unlocked the skill of refining equipment.

So, whether Yan Luoyue took out her little flying saucer or her crispy chicken leg flying boat, it would be too conspicuous.

If they don't want the monsters to notice something is wrong and attack them all, Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang have to be careful and use a safer method to escape.

"Let's catch two monsters for transportation." Yan Luoyue suggested, "Bird monsters are better because they can fly in a straight line."

As she spoke, her eyes never left the shadow of the Falling Moon Tree in the distance.

As the saying goes, a horse dies when it is too far ahead.

Now if it switches to the Falling Moon Tree, I'm afraid that it will be able to kill a few demon birds just by flying off the tree.

As she watched, Yan Luoyue suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.

"Manshuang..." she murmured, "The Moon-falling Tree, it seems to be looking at me."

"——Manshuang, when you were in the demon world, did you ever hear similar mottos, such as 'When you gaze at the Moon-falling Tree, the Moon-falling Tree is also gazing at you'?"

Apparently there are no such proverbs in the demon world.

As a tourist who also visited this famous scenic spot in the demon world, Wu Man Shuang did not have a similar feeling.

He noticed that while Yan Luoyue was talking, her eyes suddenly closed weakly and her body slid down softly, so he quickly held her up.

“…Falling Moon?!”

Yan Luoyue was no longer aware of the little snake's surprised and anxious calls.

After she said that, she felt dizzy for some reason.

For a moment, she even felt her consciousness being pulled out of her body, and the next moment, she was surrounded by white mist.

On the other side of the white mist, stood a person... Yan Luoyue himself.

Yes, the only other person who could possibly be similar to Yan Luoyue would be Yan Luoyue herself.

The girl had a slender figure, and her height and appearance were exactly the same as Yan Luoyue's. Even the agility and cunning in her eyes were as lively as Yan Luoyue's.

Yan Luoyue held his breath, and she held her breath too; Yan Luoyue raised his hand tentatively, and the girl also raised her hand; Yan Luoyue's fingertips touched forward... Damn!

She wondered why the girl in the mist looked exactly like her.

It turns out that hidden in the white mist is a boundless mirror!

Yan Luoyue shook her head in anger and amusement, and she in the mirror also shook her head and laughed.

Just when Yan Luoyue felt relaxed, with a snap of her fingers, the girl in the mirror suddenly opened her thin lips.

"!!!"

Wait, the person in the mirror moves differently from you. This should be the most common and original ghost story, right?

Yan Luoyue raised her hand and touched it consciously, only to find that the situation might not be what she thought.

It was not that the image in the mirror made different movements, but that the mirror reflected the movement of Yan Luoyue opening his mouth.

Apart from his lip movements, Yan Luoyuehan was still able to control his whole body.

She could cover her mouth or turn around and walk away.

During this period, Yan Luoyue even tried to punch the mirror, but nothing happened except for a circle of ripples like water waves.

Obviously, this white mist...or rather, the Luoyue Tree, had no intention of attacking Yan Luoyue.

It seemed to want to convey some message to Yan Luoyue.

Yan Luoyue carefully observed the shapes of her mouth, then put them together into sentences and made sounds actively.

"You're here too early..."

"Let's get out of here first..."

"Go find Wu Ti... Wu Ti... Wu Ti..."

“——Crow’s cry!” Yan Luoyue suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed the wrist closest to her, “——Crow’s cry!”

The crow cry that transformed Yan Luoyue into a repeater in the illusion was, of course, just the legendary divine fire. What Yan Luoyue was holding was Man Shuang's wrist.

Seeing Yan Luoyue come to her senses, Wu Manshuang's expression softened a little, but she still looked at her worriedly.

At this moment, Yan Luoyue was half lying in Wu Manyhuang's arms, and the young man's arms were firmly supporting her back.

As soon as Yan Luoyue opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Wu Manyhuang’s obsidian-like black eyes.

The familiar aura surrounded him, calming Yan Luoyue down instantly.

She asked, "I passed out. How long was I unconscious?"

"Thirty numbers." Wu Manshuang answered calmly and reliably. "After you said that, you seemed to suddenly lose consciousness. I supported you and heard you talking to yourself."

Yan Luoyue asked: "What was the content of my mumbling to myself?"

She already had a guess in her mind.

As expected, Wu Manshuang repeated the words in the white mist exactly as they were.

"So that's it... Oh my god!"

His eyes glanced up inadvertently, and Yan Luoyue's gaze immediately straightened.

——For convenience, she folded the red health bar, revealing the golden strip underneath that represented consciousness.

It is not accurate to say that it is health, strictly speaking, the gold bar reflects the state of consciousness.

When attacked by divine consciousness, gold bars will decrease. When Yan Luoyue overuses divine consciousness, gold bars will also decrease.

This gold bar is just like the health bar. It appears at the age of seven, and a zero is added to the end every birthday.

Now Yan Luoyue is ten years old, and the total amount of golden spiritual consciousness value is 1000.

——However, after staying in the white mist for less than thirty seconds, Yan Luoyue’s consciousness value was almost at the bottom!

"What's wrong?" Wu Manshuang asked hurriedly.

If he hadn't been holding Yan Luoyue, he would have probably drawn his knife.

"It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy."

Yan Luoyue coughed lightly to cover up her overreaction, and stood up from Wu Manshuang's arms.

During this time, Xiaoshe's arms were always loosely around her back.

The boy's worried gaze was like a layer of thin and soft white mist, gently enveloping Yan Luoyue with a familiar and comfortable temperature.

But as long as she gave an order, those gentle eyes like white mist would instantly turn into the sharpest knife.

"Okay, don't worry about me." Yan Luoyue patted the back of Wu Manshuang's hand.

"It was just a small accident. I'm actually fine. If you don't believe me, how about I tap dance for you?"

Wu Manshuang: "...Don't jump. Just stay still."

Wu Manshuang was calm and polite to outsiders, and never spoke harshly to Yan Luoyue.

Therefore, once he rarely raised his voice, Yan Luoyue felt a little guilty for no reason, and hurriedly touched the tip of his nose and stood still.

Well, then she won't tap dance.

...Actually, she wasn't suitable to dance because she was still a little dizzy.

Wu Manshuang turned her back, stretched her arms behind her, and slightly bent her knees.

Obviously, this is a posture of preparing to carry someone on one's back.

Yan Luoyue narrowed her eyes and without any hesitation threw herself onto Wu Manshuang's back.

Although Xiaoshe still has the body of a slender teenager, his muscles are beautifully and smoothly defined under his robe.

Even though Yan Luoyue jumped onto his back, Wu Manshuang's figure didn't even shake.

With ease, Yan Luoyue rested his chin on Wu Manshuang's shoulder while Wu Manshuang stood up straight.

Wu Manshuang didn't take the first step until Yan Luoyue found a comfortable position on his back.

From the moment Wu Manshuang bent his knees with his back to the moment he took his first step, this entire set of movements was almost completed consciously in his muscle memory.

If there were other people present, they would surely look at them in surprise:

Because the movements of these two people are so smooth and natural, as if they have happened hundreds of times before, as smooth as a set of gears meshing with each other.

Seeing Wu Manyhuang walking towards the entrance she came from, Yan Luoyue sighed in a resentful manner.

"Manshuang, do you know what I am thinking now?"

Wu Manshuang asked obediently, "What are you thinking about?"

Yan Luoyue said with regret: "It's like the feeling of meeting an NPC with full confidence when you know you can open up a new map, but then the NPC tells you, 'Dear player, there are not enough key items, so the map cannot be opened.'"

There are a lot of gaming jargon in this paragraph, so it might be a little confusing for others to understand.

But Wu Manshuang was worthy of being the little snake who had lived with Yan Luoyue for many years, and she extracted the key words at the first moment.

He asked calmly: "Who is the NPC, and why does he call you 'dear'?"

This sneer came out of the blue.

Yan Luoyue was stunned for a moment, then she leaned on Wu Manshuang's shoulder and burst into laughter.

After a while, Yan Luoyue complained softly:

"Alas, I finally came to the Demon Realm, but I have to go back after finishing my business."

"It's not all in vain," Wu Manshuang comforted her, "We've prepared a gift for Senior Sister Chang Lili."

After thinking for a while, Wu Manshuang added, "Also, ask Senior Sister for some seeds so I can plant roses for you when we get back."

Yan Luoyue burst into tears on the spot.

She coughed violently several times before she regained her normal breathing.

Yan Luoyue patted Wu Manshuang on the shoulder and encouraged her, "Very good, Manshuang, you are going further and further down the path of sneering jokes."

Wu Manshuang was a little surprised and confused. She turned around to look at Yan Luoyue and said seriously, "This is not a joke. I'll give it to you when we get back."

Yan Luoyue covered her eyes with one hand and the little snake's mouth with the other: "Stop, stop, stop, don't say anymore!"

Seeing Yan Luoyue's reaction so intense, Wu Manshuang felt a little strange, but remained silent for the time being.

After a while, Yan Luoyue was feeling a bit bored when someone suddenly stuffed a soft rabbit into her palm.

The rabbit is only the size of a palm, snow-white, and its eyes are decorated with rubies, making it look particularly cute.

Yan Luoyue pinched it twice and confirmed that the material was wool felt.

Wu Manshuang's handicraft skills are naturally beyond doubt.

When he lived alone, he could not only tailor his own clothes and gloves, but he could even sew thousand-layer soles.

A mere wool and felt handicraft is naturally no problem at all.

After hearing what Yan Luoyue said, Wu Manshuang corrected herself and said, "It's not wool."

"What is that hair?"

When asking this question, an answer suddenly emerged in Yan Luoyue's mind.

...Well, if that's what she thinks...well, that won't happen...

The frugal little snake replied calmly, "It's rabbit hair."

Yan Luoyue: “!!!”

Oh my god, it’s really rabbit hair!

As for the source of rabbit hair...

Wu Manshuang explained, "Have you ever touched Master's hair?"

Ji Qinghong's white hair looks soft and silky, and it actually feels the same to the touch.

Rather than saying it's the feel of hair, it's more like the long fur of a rabbit, very unique.

——And Wu Manshuang is just such a little snake who knows how to live his life.

During the Thousand Refinements Conference, Wu Manshuang collected the feathers of Ling Shuanghun and made a crane feather whisk for Xiao Ling.

Now, Wu Manshuang spent some time collecting Ji Qinghong's rabbit fur and made a rabbit felt bunny...

"I originally wanted to give it to Master as a birthday gift."

Wu Manshuang remained calm and said some very scary words.

"If you like it, keep it for yourself. I have some left over, so I'll make another one some other day."

Yan Luoyue was shocked and amused, and felt that this work of art was worthy of being framed and hung in the lobby of Suyi Hall.

But after some thought, Yan Luoyue decided that since the rabbit was so cute, of course she should hang it around her waist so that Ji Qinghong could take a few more glances at it when she went out.

Yan Luoyue asked curiously: "Manshuang, how did you collect this raw material?"

There was actually some left over after making a little bunny. Could it be that the little snake sneaked in in the middle of the night and shaved Ji Qinghong's head?

Wu Manshuang said calmly and reliably, "I didn't collect them on purpose. But have you noticed? Every time you communicate with Master, he loves to lose his hair..."
