Behind the 99 torii gates is an independent space like a paradise. Far from the hustle and bustle of the world, it has bright sunshine and green grassy land. The breeze blows the leaves of the treetops, and also blows on Gongzimeng's face, like a gentle palm, caressing Gongzimeng, welcoming her return.

In this piece of clear water, green water, green water and green mountains, several houses of different styles are located in the open space very casually, next to the foot of the mountain, in the middle of the small lake, and even on a white cloud in the sky. Some cute little animals frolicking in the woods, not realizing that they had actually trespassed into someone else's territory. Of course, the owner here probably won't mind.

On Gong Zimeng's shoulders, the white hair of the little phantom fox was also blown by the breeze, rising and falling very regularly. And its gaze has been attracted by a small pink and white fox with a particularly beautiful coat among those small animals.

By the way, the little fox has three tails behind its buttocks.

The little phantom fox's tail wagged, and it seemed to be eager to try.

Then Gong Zimeng knocked on the little phantom fox's head and said, "You have to respect your seniors, otherwise I won't help her beat you." ”

When the little phantom fox came down, Gong Zimeng walked straight to the exquisite villa built with white bricks and red tiles at the foot of the mountain.

Although the houses here belong to her elders, the whereabouts of the elders have always been more mysterious, and if Gongzi dreams of finding them, she has to make an appointment in advance. Although breaking into the house can have a similar effect, in general, it will trigger some strange traps and be a little prank. She was treated like this several times when she was a child, and then she never dared to mess into the rooms of other aunts again.

But Gong Zimeng doesn't need to be so troublesome to find her mother, there is a blood connection between her and her mother, she can sense her mother's location, and just look for it. Now, for example, she can clearly feel that her mother is at home, in the room with the best light on the second floor.

It was also her mother's favorite place to stay, where she would close her eyes and sleep when she was fine. But Gong Zimeng didn't like that kind of mother, because her mother told her that at that time, she was actually meeting her husband, that is, Gong Zimeng's father. But Miyazimeng has never seen her father, and she even has some sad suspicions that her mother may have some kind of hallucination because she misses her husband. Otherwise, how could she have managed to see a person who didn't exist at all in her half-asleep?

After all, Gong Zimeng has never seen his father at all. Regarding her father's feelings, she and Chu Yuesheng are almost the same, and they are both a little angry. Because they all grew up by their mother's side, they have all seen the lonely side of their mother, and they have all thought about whether their lives will change and become happier if they have their father by their side and their mother by their husband's side. The answer is yes, but the reality is cruel, they do not have the role of "father" in their lives, and they have not enjoyed the family affection called "father's love" since they were young.

It was this kind of empathy that quickly shortened the distance between her and Chu Yuesheng, and made Chu Yuesheng and her quickly familiar in this short period of time. Although they didn't show that they were particularly close, whether it was Gong Zimeng or Chu Yuesheng, they were actually used to having another person in their living space, a person who was still a stranger before it, which was absolutely unimaginable in the eyes of Gong Zimeng before.

With a faint worry about her mother's mental state, Gong Zimeng stood at the door of her house, paused for a few seconds, and then opened the door with the secret key she had just drawn by hand, and then pushed the door and walked in.

After entering the door, it is a neat and clean, but somewhat simple home environment. Aside from a tiny oak potted plant in a pot at the door of the house, which adds a bit of greenery to the room, there are no decorations in the hallway.

Gong Zimeng's mother is an extremely elegant person, in addition to taking care of her daughter, she completely pins her hobbies on research and spiritual world. As for material comforts, she didn't need them at all.

Seeing that Gongzimeng was back, the potted plant jumped out of his pot directly, turned into a little tree man, and stepped forward to meet Gongzimeng.

"Welcome home, little master. 』

A drawing board popped up above the Oak Treeman's head, written in the words of the Holy Sky Empire.

"Well, please prepare a nest for the little one on my shoulder, thanks. Gong Zimeng pointed to the little phantom fox lying on his shoulder.

"No problem, is it okay in the living room?"

"Whatever, she's not that picky. Gong Zimeng didn't consider the feelings of the little phantom fox at all, and directly made a decision for it. The little phantom fox opened his mouth, but closed his mouth obediently.

No rut, no speech, no human rights. If you want the life you want, you really have to be an adult first. But is it true that Master said that foxes can become humans? It doesn't feel realistic, it can't be a lie to me, right?

When going upstairs, Gong Zimeng carried the back of the little phantom fox by the neck and put it on the tray of a cat climbing frame next to it.

It can be seen that the cat climbing frame has been in her house for a certain number of years. It was when Gongzi Meng was still young, and she suddenly wanted to raise a cat on a whim, and her mother got it for her from the outside world. As for the cat she has at home......

The cat in Yuanling's house died of old age or something after more than ten years, and it became a sperm when it was raised. But after all, the foundation is too thin, the growth period of the cat demon is too short, and Gong Zimeng himself has not grown up yet, and the cat demon will become an adult first. Because of good nutrition, the cat demon has the same good figure after turning into a human. But the cat raised by Gong Zimeng is not cold at all, but super sticky, and it was okay before it turned into a human, but after it turned into a person, Gong Zimeng was almost suffocated to death in her arms by her own cat demon with an astringent body more than once - if she didn't have to breathe, she would definitely suffocate to death. In the end, because she couldn't stand the cat's waist hitting people with the ball every day, she drove the cat demon out of the secret realm and let her go to the outside paradise to fend for herself. Anyway, the cat demon who was trained by the daughter of the source spirit is definitely not much worse at the level, even if she provokes the great sage, those great sages will definitely not embarrass her too much in the face of the source spirit family. Although he has not heard from the cat demon in recent years, Miyazimeng is sure that the cat demon must still be living well somewhere in paradise.

As for this cat climbing frame, it is already the tears of the times, and now it is placed here purely as an ornament. There is space at home, and if you don't add a little more furnishings, it will feel a little too deserted.

The little phantom fox lay on the tray in the middle of the cat's climbing frame, poking his head out to watch his master gradually disappear at the turn of the stairs. In the end, he shrunk his neck and honestly lay down.

Even potted saplings can be turned into small tree people, which is too strange here, so let's be honest.

After a while, the oak sapling that Gong Zimeng had ordered the tree man to walk under the cat's climbing frame, and the branches that formed the two legs extended themselves, making the little tree man's body parts grow to the point where they were almost the same height as the little phantom fox.

A banner appears above the little tree man's head.

"Your nest is ready, come with me." 』

Little Phantom Fox: "?"

I'm sorry, he's a little fox, which fox can you read, it's not easy for me to understand what others are saying, okay?

Although the little phantom fox was also taught by Gongzimeng to write the inscription for a few days, the inscription is a symbol with magical power, and the text of the Shengxiao Empire is an ordinary font used for communication, and these two things obviously cannot be equated. Therefore, in the eyes of the little phantom fox, the banner on the head of this little tree man is completely a bunch of ghost drawings, and it can't understand what is written on it at all.

The little tree man didn't care if the little phantom fox understood it or not. The small banner overhead dangled twice, retracting into the canopy of the small oak tree. Then, the little tree man returned to his normal height and staggered away.

Little Phantom Fox thought about it and decided to go with him, after all, it is impossible for people to find themselves for no reason. So it deftly jumped off the top of the cat's climbing frame three times and two times, and followed the little tree man to a room with a large curved floor-to-ceiling window.

There are a few sofas in the room, and there is a tatami mat next to the window, but everywhere it looks too clean, as if no one has used it for a long time. Probably no one even comes in this room except for the daily cleaning.

In the corner of the room, a small tree house made entirely of vines grew on the wall. The little tree man walked over to the little tree house and showed the little phantom fox where he lived today or in the next two days.

The little phantom fox poked his head and looked inside, and then got inside, and found that it was quite comfortable, dry and at the right temperature. It lay inside for a while, and after getting acquainted with the environment, it poked its head out of it and found that the little tree man was no longer there, and that it was the only living thing left in the room.

The sun outside the window is so bright. The little phantom fox lay on the threshold of the small tree house, squinting comfortably, feeling that under the sunlight, his soft self seemed to be glowing.

————————————————————————

On the other side, Gong Zimeng had already gone up the stairs to the second floor and came to her and her mother's private space. After walking down the hallway to her own bedroom, her mother's bedroom, she came to the door of the lightroom where her mother was resting.

knocked on the door, of course there was no response, because the mother was immersed in her own spiritual world, Miyako Dream knew.

So Gong Zimeng directly pushed open the door and walked in, and saw his mother on the recliner next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

In the sunlight, a girl with long pale blonde hair was lying quietly on a chaise longue with her eyes closed like a sleeping beauty.

She was about 13 or 4 years old, and she looked even petite than Miyako Meng. He wears a pleated white flower turban on his head, a dark black gothic loli-style dress, a white lace trim on the chest, and a bow tied with a black ribbon at the neckline. White stockings went all the way down, wrapping around her slender calves and feet. Next to the chaise longue, a pair of small black leather shoes with a round toe are neatly placed there.

Although it looks like it's a Lori entirely, it's not surprising to say that she's the sister of Miyako Dream.。 However, the girl in front of her ...... Or a little girl, but she is indeed one of the four source spirits standing at the apex of this world, the lower source spirit in charge of matter and elements, and the concubine of the palace.

At the same time, she is also the mother of Gongzi Meng, biological.
