In a bush of grass at the entrance of Taoyuan Valley, there is a red fruit of unknown origin.

This red fruit looks like an apple and a peach, smooth and round, red and dripping, not from the Taoyuan Valley.

Tao Yao brought the red fruit to Tu Shanyue.

Looking at the strange red fruit, Tu Shanyue's face sank, Ah Guan was shocked, and blurted out: "This red fruit is very familiar, very similar to the fruit that the elf prince gave us in the misty forest. ”

Tu Shanyue's face was gloomy, "It's the kind of fruit that the elf prince gave us to eat, it tastes very peculiar and has a weird fragrance, I won't be mistaken." ”

Tao Yao had heard of the elves, but had never seen them, "Why do the elves steal epiphany seedlings? ”

Ah Guan: "Epiphany seedlings may not be of much use to them, but maybe Childe is useful to them." ”

Ordinary people are not aware of the spirit of the stars on the epiphany seedlings, but the elves can detect any changes in the grass and trees.

They stole the epiphany seedlings that the soul of the star had placed on them, and there must have been some attempt.

Ah Guan and Tao Yao both looked at Tu Shanyue.

Anger flashed in Tu Shanyue's eyes, "Go to the Misty Forest!"

——

Misty Forest.

Tu Shanyue took Ah Guan and came to the Misty Forest for the second time after many years.

The two of them passed through the barrier outside the Misty Forest and entered the dense forest of fog.

A white dandelion-like elf floated around the two.

Tu Shanyue sacrificed his sword and shouted, "Since you brought me here, don't you show up quickly!"

The elves were summoned, lined up in a straight line in front of Tu Shanyue and Ah Guan, passed through the thick fog, and led somewhere.

Tu Shanyue followed the direction pointed by the elves and found the residence of the elf prince, which was also the place where Tu Shanyue and Ah Guan woke up in the misty forest.

A valley, surrounded by primeval forest, filled with mist, the sound of gurgling water at the valley floor, and small lakes formed by flowing water, which are connected one after another.

On the edge of the largest lake, there are traces of artificial excavation, stone tables and chairs, and hammocks made of tree and vine.

A boy of twelve or thirteen years old was lying in a hammock, swinging leisurely.

When Tu Shanyue and Ah Guan walked up to him angrily, the young man rolled over and got out of the hammock and said with a smile: "You are finally here." ”

Without waiting for Tu Shanyue to ask, Ah Guan preemptively asked, "You little demon, why did you steal our epiphany?"

The elven prince stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Ah Guan's eyes, "Correct, I'm not a demon, I'm an elf, and I'm the king of the elite clan." ”

Ah Guan wanted to change his name and call him the Elf King, but seeing the little boy in front of him, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, he changed his words and said, "Okay, Elf Prince, where did you put the epiphany seedlings? Did you hurt her? ”

"The little flower seedlings grow well, and the spirits above them are also safe. ”

"Hand it over. ”

Ah Guan held the colorful feather fan against the neck of the elf prince.

The elven prince was not in a hurry, still smiling, "No." ”

Angered by the elven prince's attitude, Ah Guan slid the feather fan in his hand forward, and the soft feathers turned into sharp daggers and slashed across the elven prince's neck.

Ah Guan only felt that the feather fan in his hand was a section of hardwood, not like the flesh and blood of ordinary people.

A wound was left on the elven prince's neck, but not a drop of blood came out, and by the time Ah Guan withdrew the feather fan, the wound healed on its own.

Ah Guan was shocked, this elven prince's spell was so strong, and the colorful feather fan couldn't hurt him in the slightest.

Ah Guan wanted to attack again, but was stopped by Tu Shanyue.

Tu Shanyue had seen the trick between Ah Guan and the elf prince just now, and knew in her heart that if she wanted to get back the epiphany seedlings safely, she couldn't fight hard.

Tu Shanyue stabilized her mind and asked calmly, "How can the elf prince return the epiphany of the star's soul?"

The elven prince put his hands behind his back and blinked two big innocent eyes, "My conditions are simple, as long as you fulfill your previous promises. ”

Previous promises?

Tu Shanyue remembered that when they first came to the Misty Forest, the Elven Prince had rescued them, and at that time, he and Ah Guan had promised that they would have the opportunity to stay in the Misty Forest to accompany the Elven Prince.

Tu Shanyue refused bluntly, "I am now enshrined as a marriage god by Heavenly Court, there are many things to do, I can't stay in the Misty Forest, and the same is true for Ah Guan, please ask the elf prince to open another condition." ”

The elven prince really thought about it seriously, "Or leave that epiphany, the soul on it is also very interesting, I like it." ”

"No, you can't. There was a hint of anger in Tu Shanyue's refusal tone.

"This can't be done, that's not okay, you promised this elf before, you won't go back, right?"

Tu Shanyue thought about the reason why this elven prince was so tormented.

Isn't it because he has lived in the misty forest for a long time, is so depressed that he wants to find someone to accompany him?

Tu Shanyue asked tentatively: "I have a marriage line in my hand, and I can hold a marriage for you." ”

"What does it mean, and what does it do?"

"It's to find you someone who can accompany you for the rest of your life. ”

"Is that true?"

"Seriously, I have never missed the red thread of my marriage. ”

The elven prince nodded happily and agreed, "A word is a certainty, the epiphany will be returned to you, what about the red line of my marriage?"

The elven prince stretched out his hand, and his palm conjured up an epiphany, with intact roots and green leaves, which had not yet budded.

Tu Shanyue carefully collected the epiphany in the Divine Void, and at the same time took out a red thread from his sleeve and tied it around the elf prince's right ankle.

When the red thread is tightened, it is hidden at the ankle, and there is nothing unusual to see.

After the red thread disappeared, Tu Shanyue put another red thread in the elf prince's hand, "This is another section of the red thread, as long as you tie this red thread to the ankle of the destined person, you can let her stay by your side." ”

"Is that okay? Is that destined person the one who can accompany me for the rest of my life? When will she show up?"

The elf prince stomped on his right foot holding the red line, and shook the red line in his hand again, without any different feelings, and couldn't help but question.

"Marriage is always a good thing, but since you have a red thread, the person who can accompany you for life will naturally appear. ”

The elf prince believed Tu Shanyue's words very much, staring at his ankle with red thread, his face was happy, "There is always a deadline for that person's appearance, when will I wait?"

"A hundred years of cultivation can be done on the same road, and a thousand years of cultivation can be cultivated together, it depends on what kind of fate you want?"

"Of course, the longer the better. ”

"Naturally, it will have to wait a little longer. ”

Tu Shanyue's explanation, the elf prince also felt that it was very reasonable, so he didn't ask any more questions, and waved his hand at the two, signaling that they could leave.

——

Outside the Misty Forest.

Tu Shanyue was about to return to Taoyuan Valley with the epiphany seedlings, and Ah Guan followed behind, his face full of wonder.

"Childe, that elf prince stole the epiphany seedlings just so that we could go back to the Misty Forest?"

"Hmm. ”

"He is willing to let us come back and let us take away the epiphany, just because you have a red line for him?"

"Hmm. ”

"Is there anything wrong with the elven prince's brain?"
