After the abnormal celestial phenomena caused by Chu Feiyue disappeared and were erased by the palace concubine, the sky in the Great Lakes region and even the entire Eternal Sea of Trees still did not return to calm, but condensed one by one dark clouds in the higher sky, looking as if it was really going to rain.

From time to time, there was a strange thunderclap above the clouds, sounding like the chirping of some large bird, similar to the call of a storm-blooded crane. But at this time, the dark clouds in the sky are more than one or two kilometers away from the horizon, how can there be a bird that can call so loudly, so it must be that the thunder has been distorted because it has traveled too long √

With this strange thunder, Chu Feiyue and Hedwig returned to the giant banyan tree.

The death of the strongest monster in the Great Lakes region did not have any impact on the creatures in this area, there was no vision of heaven and earth, and there was no bullshit feeling, everyone was busy with their own lives, maybe only when they were about to pass through the territory that once belonged to the Storm Blood Crane, they would suddenly remember that there seemed to be a powerful monster named the Storm Blood Crane living here...

As for what happened to it now, probably no one would be interested, as long as it was known that it was no longer there, and that would be enough.

The same was true of the giant banyan tree, and although everyone was very curious about where the High Priestess had gone with that beautiful outsider, no one worried about their lives after all.

Even Qin Yue only knew that Chu Feiyue was going to assist Hedwig in eliminating an enemy who didn't know what he looked like, but she didn't know that that enemy was actually a divine beast. But with her keen intuition, when the celestial phenomena underwent strange changes, Qin Yue still covered her heart, raised her head nervously and looked nervously at the dark clouds in the sky, and even interrupted the ongoing performance.

Although Qin Yue suddenly became interested in giving these sea elves a musical enlightenment, compared to her brother's safety, she was really interested in moving back first.

In the time that followed, Qin Yue's heart was always hanging, and after seeing that Qin Yue's mood was not here at all, those sea elf children were also very sensible and did not ask her to continue. Fortunately, the dark clouds did not last long, and it didn't take long for the dark clouds in the sky to disappear as if an invisible whirlwind had blown away. Soon after the dark clouds disappeared, Chu Feiyue and Hedwig appeared in the field of vision of the sea elf village sentry.

"The High Priest is back!" After the sound came from the canopy of the huge banyan tree, the sea spirits of the entire "Eye of the Jungle" rushed to the edge of the village, looking into the distance with their eyes wide open.

On the contrary, Qin Yue was squeezed behind, looking at the large group of sea elf girls in front of her who came out of nowhere, frowning speechlessly. These sea elves are okay with everything, but this disease of loving to get together to watch the excitement is simply an incurable terminal disease, right?

Really, I want to see my brother sooner, but I'm completely blocked, and I can't see anything... The girl plucked the strings of her soul instrument, and thought of it with some residual thoughts.

――――――――――――

The return of Chu Feiyue and Hedwig once again aroused strong onlookers from this group of sea elves, but fortunately, what Hedwig said still worked very well for them, and after a few scoldings, they began to disperse.

After all these sea elves were supposed to do something, Qin Yue got up from her seat, pouted and came to Chu Feiyue's side, almost writing the four words "I'm not happy" on her face.

"What's wrong? You can hang an oil pot on the top. Chu Feiyue pulled Qin Yue over, stretched the girl's palm with her fingers, held her hand and asked.

"You've been missing for the past few days, and you're suffocating here... If it weren't for the fact that these kids were quite smart, I might have been suffocated. Qin Yue tiptoed into Chu Yueyue's ear and muttered dissatisfiedly.

The huge banyan tree grows on the water, and it has to be entered in the water no matter how much it enters or exits, but Qin Yue has never swam in such a large pool of living water, and has no intention of getting her clothes wet. So this place is equivalent to a deserted island for Qinyue.

However, it was such a place, Chu Feiyue left Qin Yue outside for two days and didn't ask, although she knew that Chu Feiyue might have entered a working state, but not bothering didn't mean that she wouldn't complain, and after seeing Chu Feiyue again, of course the girl had to vent her dissatisfaction.

I'm in a bad mood, hurry up and coax me!

Chu Feiyue was obviously aware of this problem as well, so he set his apologetic gaze on Hedwig.

Originally, he planned to let Hedwig lead them to the Divine Wood Secret Realm as soon as they came back, but now that Qin Yue was in a bad mood, Chu Feiyue had to make his girlfriend happy before thinking about other things.

Hedwig shrugged her shoulders and said to Chu Feiyue, "I'll wait for you between the cores, come and find me when you're ready." "Standard NPC-style dialogue.

After this sea elf big sister left with some loss, Chu Feiyue turned her head, looked at Qin Yue and said, "Okay~ I admit my mistake, don't pout." ”

"Humph!" o(￣ヘ￣o＃)

"This ......" Looking at the girl who was making trouble, Chu Feiyue scratched her hair with some distress. When Qin Yue got along with him, he was almost never angry, and he usually pointed out his shortcomings helplessly, and he quickly made corrections, and then everyone was happy. How to coax my angry sister, to be honest, he really has no experience.

Because she didn't know what to say, Chu Feiyue could only take the girl's hand and take her to press the road together... Well, it's to walk all the way down the trails and suspension bridges that extend in all directions of the huge banyan tree, because of the unfamiliarity with the road conditions, Chu Feiyue has no idea where they are going, but anyway, no matter how they get lost, they can jump down and return to the original point, but they don't have to worry about not coming back.

But it's too boring to walk like this, Qin Yue is obviously waiting for Chu Feiyue to say something, and Chu Feiyue finally found a good topic after being a stuffy gourd for a while.

So, he told Qin Yue about the battle he had just experienced.

Qin Yue had no idea about the level of these monsters in the game, and at the beginning, Chu Feiyue easily solved the enemy again. What is the beast of the gods, and can it be eaten? But when Chu Feiyue said that she and Hedwig couldn't beat each other combined, Qin Yue's hand holding Chu Feiyue's hand tightened suddenly.

Qin Yue stood still, turning her head to scan Chu Feiyue's body. After perceiving the worried emotion in the girl's eyes, Chu Feiyue turned around and hugged Qin Yue in her arms.

"In the end, we won, there is no danger, rest assured."

"Brother, you are so cunning..."The girl in her arms did not resist, but leaned softly into Chu Feiyue's arms and said softly.

Chu Feiyue didn't answer, but sniffed the girl's fragrance deeply, and gently rubbed her cheek against the other party. Moments later, they kissed.

After all, this is not a private occasion, and neither of them has the intention of showing affection to others, so after a few seconds, they separated.

However, at this time, Qin Yue's expression on her face had become bright again.

"Brother, you're fooling... Can't you say something nice, what if I push you away? Qin Yue took the initiative to put her hand into Chu Feiyue's palm, and said with some tears and laughter.

"Because I'm not good at rhetoric, I like to express myself more intuitively, whether it's opinions or feelings. So, I love you, Qin Yue. Chu Feiyue looked at Qin Yue's eyes and said seriously.

Qin Yue's heartbeat suddenly disrupted a beat, her eyes couldn't help but droop, and the whole person took a step forward, put her head against Chu Feiyue's chest, and pressed her head against his chin.

"Fool...... Don't put such shy words on your lips. ”

Holding Qin Yue, Chu Feiyue showed a happy smirk. At this time, above Chu Feiyue's head, the four small little foxes who seemed to have been completely ignored rolled their eyes in unison.

Ah West, this strong sour smell of love choked to death! I choose a dog leash _(:з」∠)_

……

After coaxing Qin Yue, the two of them came to the core of the tree that Hedwig had mentioned. The room was at the back of Hedwig's room, and it wasn't very large, it looked like the teleportation room where Sister Olesia's sister lived, except that the pillar where the crystal ball was placed had been turned into a large wooden bowl that grew directly on the ground, and the available space in the whole room became smaller.

Hedwig stood beside the large wooden bowl and waited for them, and when she saw them coming, Hedwig brushed the surface of the silver-white liquid in the large wooden bowl.

The liquid in the wooden bowl quickly stabilized after a slight fluctuation. And Chu Feiyue noticed that what was reflected on the liquid surface was not the roof of this room, but a place he had never seen before.

Could this be a portal to the secret realm of the Divine Tree? The portal that uses liquid as a carrier is interesting!

Chu Feiyue's thoughts were quickly pulled back by Hedwig, because she pointed to the big wooden bowl and said: "The Divine Tree grows on the back of this world, it is the root of the entire Eternal Tree Sea, and vice versa, every tree in the Eternal Tree Sea is equivalent to the root of the Divine Tree. Theoretically, no matter which tree you pass through, you can reach the world where the Sacred Tree is located, but as far as I know, except for the thriving ancient tree where the "Eye of the Jungle" is located, there is not a single ancient tree in the sea of trees whose core essence is wide enough to allow people to pass through. ”

"If you're ready, go inside. As long as you can pass the "Trial of Thorns", you should be able to meet Mistress Via. ”

"Wait, won't you come in with us?" Chu Feiyue raised her head, looked into Hedwig's eyes and asked.

Hedwig shook her head, lowered her eyes, and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

"I'll forget it, there are some things that I have to do urgently."

After saying that, the sea elf eldest sister left the core of the tree without looking back.
