24 Long Qingyu
The dragon forest in the early morning, misty and hazy, is moistened by shimmer and dew.
Although it does not cover a large area, this forest is surprisingly lush, more intertwined, and lush greenery, almost to the extent that it covers the sky and the sun. Therefore, there are also a lot of [wood attribute] low-star demon beasts living here, which are kept here by the Long family, living a relatively comfortable and comfortable life, they have a gentle temperament and almost no attack power, complementing each other to form the ecology of the Dragon Forest.
The entire forest, only where Long Lie and the others lived, seemed a little empty, and some sunlight could penetrate somewhat.
At this time, Long Lie and Long Xu gathered in front of their mother Long Qingyu's tree house.
Different from Long Lie's Rongyi Garden, which was full of fireworks, Long Qingyu directly built an exquisite tree house on the giant tree in the center of the forest, and the whole area seemed deep and quiet under the extremely light sunlight.
The hundred-year-old giant tree rises from the ground, as if it is going to rise straight into the clouds, the momentum is magnificent, as the ancestor of the dragon forest, almost the entire forest, when Long Lie is in the Rongyi Garden, he can see this giant tree from a distance when he looks up.
The house was built around a tree, tall and thin, made of wood, covered with thick moss and vines, almost overpowering, full of natural life.
The treehouse has several floors, and it goes straight up with a circular staircase, and the top part has not even been to Long Lie, and his mother has always been secretive about this aspect.
In Long Lie's eyes, his mother's personality is blurred, her expression and movements are always extremely restrained, and she has never had a moment of gaffe or laughter. Even if they got along day and night for several years when they were children, their mother only left a very faint impression on Long Lie, as if they were always shrouded in a veil of mystery.
So when he heard the eldest aunt and the second aunt talk about their deeds in Wangjin Academy, he was surprised. The articulate man who confronted the dean...... Is it really his mother?
Regarding his previous life, Long Lie seems to have lost most of his memories, and only his cooking experience is firmly remembered in his heart. And he can't remember his life and family in his previous life, but he can be sure that he has never felt mother's love in his previous life. So in this world, he is still confused about his current mother.
Zhong Xuanyang, who has always been inseparable, unexpectedly did not appear today. Only Long Lie and Long Xu sat on the big rock, waiting for the people in the treehouse over there.
There is not only a circular staircase on the treehouse, but also a circular giant dragon. From a distance, this giant dragon is like a decoration, the whole body is crystal clear, sharp and angular, glowing with turquoise light, always squinting, it seems that it has not moved for a long time, and even its body is wrapped with moss.
This giant snake is not the family's "Deep Sea Jiao", but a mutated "Jade Jiao", B-level [Mineral Attribute], is the giant Jiao in the mouth of the clan that has lost its wisdom, this is the mother's natal beast, an accident became like this, and it also made the mother become a five-star summoner, far behind the eldest aunt and second aunt.
With the sudden disappearance of the jade stone jiao, the tree house finally opened the door, and a woman with long blue and purple hair walked out of it.
Her hair is like a waterfall, falling vertically, being combed meticulously, and she looks like a girl, she can't find anything in common with Long Xu between her eyebrows and eyes, but she is five points similar to Long Lie, both of them are light and soft facial features, this is their mother Long Qingyu, who is only 31 years old this year.
"I have some things to do, I want to go somewhere else, you go to the hall first" After the mother went out, it was like this, her voice was very soft and soft, but there was no kindness.
Long Lie and Long Xu were accustomed to it, and after saluting respectfully, they turned to leave.
After walking around the dark forest for a long time, Long Xu took the initiative to speak, "Long Lie, do you think my mother likes me?"
She spoke in a very soft voice, Long Lie turned his head and glanced at the eldest sister's expression, as always, with a cold and arrogant appearance, nothing special, so he also said simply, "I don't know, I was born with a lack of souls, how did you think of asking me such a question"
Long Xu gave him a blank look, "Don't always use the lack of soul as an excuse, usually smile more, one day it will get better" She paused before continuing, "I can feel that my mother doesn't like me, although on the surface she treats you and me similarly, but she is at least calm with you"
Faced with this somewhat heavy topic at first, Long Lie didn't know what to say, after the last graduation ceremony, the family was nervously preparing for Long Xu's "Awakening Gift", and had been preparing until today, and finally it was time to see the difference.
Because Tomorrow Long Xu will turn fifteen years old, she must awaken to become a summoner within today.
As for this matter, the mother didn't seem to care, and let the eldest aunt and second aunt be busy, but she didn't say anything.
Long Xu didn't dwell on this question any longer, she still held her head high, but she showed an inexplicable smile, and at this moment, the scattered sunlight suddenly broke through the barrier of the leaves, falling down through the gaps, and all of them spilled onto Long Xu's face, and her long white hair glowed with silver.
Her smile is rare and precious, but it is tinged with surging emotion, as if it wants to attract all souls, and it makes people unable to open their eyes.
"I'm very happy, approaching the age of fifteen, and finally feeling the breath of the natal beast, as if it came from a majestic ancient world, I believe... It's going to shock the continent!"
"Congratulations"
Long Xu took half a step forward to widen the distance, and then suddenly turned around, facing Long Lie, and began to walk backwards. Her white hair swirled messily and uninhibitedly in this forest, and behind the fluttering strands, a pair of peach blossom eyes were revealed.
"But I know... What a threat this natal beast will bring to the family, although it is a rare opportunity, but for the stable development of the Long family, it is definitely more fearful than happy" She stroked her hair casually, "So I would rather be sealed to a wild land and start a lonely life for ten or even decades." Don't have a mediocre natal beast and live a mediocre life"
Long Xu rarely did this, revealing her heart in front of him, her words were arrogant and flamboyant, but they were very in line with her character.
"I've been having the same nightmare for as long as I can remember," she drooped her eyelids, "I still don't know why, but the dream keeps urging me to get stronger"
"Therefore, I must become a superior man, become stronger than anyone else, and protect my family"
Finally, she spat out in a very soft voice, "If there really are eternal gods in this world, then I was born to touch them" and then turned and walked away quickly.
Long Lie hurriedly followed, but his heart was at a loss.
Once again, he felt something in his heart that seemed to be burning, but he couldn't react to it, and the feeling was so uncomfortable that it was torture.
He had no other way but to keep in mind every word that the eldest sister said today, hoping that one day he would understand the meaning.
