Divine Oracle Cave Heaven, the twelfth layer.
「Immortal Grass Forest」
Luo Xiu descended from the sky with Zhang Yi in his arms, gently landing on a bluestone path at the edge of the forest.
Although An Ran had lifted the restriction on Luo Xiu's speed, she had not lifted the restriction on his Cultivation. Once he stepped into the boundary of the Immortal Grass Forest, he was unable to use his Cultivation. Therefore, Luo Xiu could only land at the edge and proceed on foot. The re thought of the long walk to Everlasting City made his legs feel a little weak.
The bluestone path andered and wound its way forward, flanked by fresh, fragrant grass. Walking along it brought a sense of inner peace and was quite an enjoyable experience.
Zhang Yi ran ahead of Luo Xiu cheerfully, occasionally twirling around like a gracefully dancing butterfly. Her short skirt fluttered, revealing a glimpse of her safety shorts and stirring a powerful urge in Luo Xiu to pin her against a tree and have his way with her. This little succubus has beco even more alluring after these last few days of... nourishnt. Her entire being seems to radiate an irresistible aura.
"Brother Luo Xiu, this place is just too beautiful. I want to make my ho on Yan Huang Star look just like this in the future."
Luo Xiu smiled. "It is very beautiful, but..."
Zhang Yi ran back and latched onto his arm. "But what? Are you about to say it's not as beautiful as ?"
Luo Xiu acted as if he hadn't heard her and said, "But the plants here are very dangerous. It's best not to touch any you don't recognize. If you happen to touch a poisonous one, you'll be a goner before I can even save you."
At these words, Zhang Yi's pretty face paled. "Don't you go scaring !"
Luo Xiu gazed at her and said earnestly, "I'm serious. No kidding."
Zhang Yi hurried back and clung to Luo Xiu's arm again. "Then I'd better just be a quiet little fairy."
Luo Xiu chuckled. "Let's go. We'll have Dou Dou bring you here to play later."
Zhang Yi responded with a sweet "Mm-hmm," then asked, "How long until we reach Everlasting City?"
"Just follow this road. We'll be there soon."
"Mm-hmm, we have to keep walking down it together."
Luo Xiu smiled and said nothing. He knew she ant sothing else entirely.
"Brother Luo Xiu, I really want to perform a magic trick for you."
"What kind of magic trick?"
"To grow old slowly with you."
Luo Xiu was stunned for a mont, then said, "Aweso."
"I'm so thirsty. Quick, give a kiss."
Without another word, Luo Xiu grabbed the back of her head and kissed her senseless.
"Who are you two? How dare you do such shaless things here! State your nas at once!"
Just as they were lost in the heat of the mont and about to take things further, two elf lolis suddenly jumped out from the bushes by the path. Each held a small wooden spear, looking adorably fierce.
One look at them and Zhang Yi's heart nearly lted from the cuteness. She started to walk over to pat their heads, but Luo Xiu held her back.
"We can't use our Cultivation here, so be careful. They might attack you," Luo Xiu warned. "And while their wooden spears look cute, they're actually quite dangerous."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi's beautiful eyes widened, and she didn't dare make any sudden moves.
One of the elf lolis snorted proudly, her voice high and childlike. "You seem pretty knowledgeable. That's right, this is a Skyvine Spear, and it hurts a lot! If you're scared, then you'd better behave, or I'll make sure you regret it!"
Luo Xiu looked at the two adorable girls and felt the urge to pinch their cheeks, but he restrained himself and offered a kind smile. "I'm a friend of the High Priest. I'm here to see her about sothing."
Hearing this, the two elf lolis glanced at each other, then turned their gazes back to Luo Xiu. They didn't doubt his words, for the world of the elves was pure, free of lies and deceit.
"Alright then, we'll let you pass. But I'm warning you, don't cause any trouble here, and don't you dare bully the small animals."
"Don't worry, I'm a good person," Luo Xiu assured her.
Hearing him call himself a "good person," Zhang Yi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but purse her lips. This guy... aside from his skills in bed, there's almost nothing else good about him.
On the bluestone path.
Having been allowed to pass, Luo Xiu walked leisurely with Zhang Yi, holding her hand, when they suddenly overheard the two elf lolis discussing him from behind.
"Hey, Miaomiao, I think I've seen this guy before..."
"Ah, I rember now! He's that guy who snuck into the dicinal fields to steal herbs and peeked at Jing Jing and the others bathing! The High Priest caught him and had him stripped naked for a public shaming!"
"Oh, you're right, that's really him! And he even had an Elephant Trunk!"
"..."
Luo Xiu stumbled and nearly fell over, utterly mortified. My image as Emperor Shura has just been utterly destroyed. He looked at him with a strange expression. "I never would have guessed, Little Luo Luo. You have quite a past."
A dark expression crossed Luo Xiu's face. "They must have mistaken for soone else. This is my first ti in the Immortal Grass Forest."
Zhang Yi clearly didn't believe him. She suddenly covered her mouth and burst into a fit of coquettish giggles. "Hahahaha... An Elephant Trunk! That's really sothing else."
Luo Xiu shot her a vicious glare. "Laugh again and I'll use my Elephant Trunk to run you through!"
"..."
「So ti later.」
Luo Xiu and Zhang Yi arrived at Everlasting City.
Just as they reached the city gate, Luo Xiu saw a little loli dressed in a lavish, long gown standing there. The little loli held a Magic Wand, her expression dignified. Her petite fra gave off the feeling of an immovable mountain. In Luo Xiu's eyes, however, that supre dignity combined with her youthful, innocent appearance was just incredibly cute.
"Little An Ran, long ti no see."
An Ran glanced at Zhang Yi, who was clinging to Luo Xiu's arm, and huffed coldly. "And who gave you permission to call 'Little An Ran'?"
With that, she turned and walked away, her deanor as noble and aloof as ever. In truth, she was only putting on an act because there were others around.
Luo Xiu suddenly caught up to her, reaching out to ruffle her hair and even tugging at her delicate, pretty hair accessory.
An Ran's delicate body trembled, and she shot him a glare.
Luo Xiu sent a ssage via Divine Sense Communication, "Your child form is just too cute. I couldn't help myself."
Hearing this, An Ran's cheeks puffed out slightly as she huffed again. "First, co with this Priest to attend to official business. You can see Her Majesty the Queen afterward."
She glanced at Zhang Yi, then waved her hand to summon two elf lolis. "This Priest will have them take you to see Her Majesty."
...
Not long after parting ways with Zhang Yi, Luo Xiu was led by An Ran to a secret chamber.
The chamber shone with a radiant Spirit Light and was filled with the faint aroma of flowers and herbs. Its wooden walls were covered with mysterious, glowing green patterns, lending the room an air of profound mystery.
After observing his surroundings for a mont, Luo Xiu asked, "You've been urging to co for so long. Was this room the reason why?"
An Ran set down her Magic Wand. As a brilliant light flowed over her body, she transford back into her adult form and said, "This is the heart of the Ancient Elf Tree."
Luo Xiu's playful deanor vanished, and he asked seriously, "What do you need to do?"
An Ran replied directly, "The Ancient Elf Tree is tied to the fate of our people, even to our very survival."
"Every elf in our tribe is born from the fruit of the Ancient Tree. However, for over a thousand years now, the tree has stopped bearing fruit. It's reaching the end of its Lifespan; at most, it only has another fifty years."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu frowned slightly, already guessing what An Ran needed from him.
An Ran turned to face him. "I need your Fortune-Forming Power to extend the tree's Lifespan. The more, the better. At the very least, it needs to last until Her Majesty the Queen has beco truly powerful."
Luo Xiu didn't hesitate. "No problem. I promised you this a long ti ago, and I will definitely see it through." He paused, then added, "However... I'm not currently practicing the Qihuang Technique, so I don't have any Fortune-Forming Power in my body. I'll have to use my Essence Blood."
An Ran looked at him with a pained expression, about to speak, but she saw that Luo Xiu had already sliced his wrist and begun the process of Condensing Essence Blood.
"But you have to promise to help with sothing in return," Luo Xiu said.
"Na it."
"Co with to Yan Huang Star afterward."
"No problem."
