Chapter 131 Golden Leaf
By this point in the conversation, Tang Zijun had lost the ability to interject.
These questions about magical girls and the secrets of natural energy were a bit beyond Tang Zijun's level.
He could only lean back slightly, his gaze constantly shifting between Hyacinth and Mr. Qingnang.
"Although I don't know what you mean by the rainbow crystal flower, it should be something similar. The Heart of Life is an extremely important sacred object to us, and it must not be lost."
Hyacinth looked somewhat dejected, which showed that she herself was not sure about the safety of the Tree Canopy Royal City.
Flower fairies are not a fighting race. Compared to other ancient "gods", they are more like a group of innocent and ignorant little rabbits, without any harm or ability to resist.
If she hadn't been completely helpless, and if the man in front of her hadn't saved her, Hyacinth wouldn't have wanted to associate with him. But now, after seeing Mr. Qingnang, she felt like she had found a kindred spirit.
Although their natural energies were somewhat different, the aura emanating from Mr. Qingnang made her feel warm and comfortable; it was the magic blessed by plants and trees, originating from the same source as her.
Therefore, hyacinths are more willing to talk to her more.
"For our people, the Tree of Life is a god-like being, our creator, and the Heart of Life is the bridge through which the Tree God communicates with us. She not only protects us but also bestows divine messages upon us."
Tan Zhixin nodded slightly, trying her best to keep up with the other person's logic.
She knew that the current situation had to be taken seriously, as it concerned not only the safety of the real world, but also the life and death of a special civilization.
"Does your power all come from the Tree of Life?" Tan Zhixin asked.
"Yes, everything we have is a gift from the Tree God, and we are its sole guardians." Hyacinth nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "The energy fluctuations around you are a bit strange. Are you also an being like me?"
"Me?" Tan Zhixin was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Qing, smiled, and shook her head. "Strictly speaking, I should be different from you. I'm a magical girl."
"Magical girl?" Hyacinth frowned. "Is it the name of some race? I don't think I've ever heard of it before."
"It's not a race, it should be considered a profession, albeit in a lesser sense."
Tan Zhixin explained calmly.
"You are a flower fairy, and I am a human. However, I am a human chosen by nature. After obtaining the Rainbow Crystal Flower, I gained the magic to communicate with nature and control the elements."
Hyacinth was still a little confused. She blinked. "I think I understand now. You're just like the demigods from before, aren't you?"
"Demigod." Tan Zhixin licked her lips and looked pleadingly at Tang Zijun, who had remained silent.
Seeing this, Tang Zijun understood and said softly, "Mr. Qingnang and I are both thoroughly human, not a hybrid of humans and creatures from the secret realm. If we had to say, we should be considered beings who have obtained some divine power."
"Oh, I see." Hyacinth paused for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed loudly, "No wonder you have facial features, unlike those faceless people!"
"Huh? Uh..." Tang Zijun subconsciously wanted to touch her face. So, in Hyacinth's eyes, greedy people were all faceless creatures? Then wouldn't Chang Lei be...?
The thought of Chang Lei's lack of facial features and his receding hairline sent a shiver down Tang Zijun's spine; the uncanny valley effect was kicking in.
Tan Zhixin looked at Tang Zijun with a meaningful gaze, even though she could only see her own reflection in the light from the other's mask.
At this moment, Tang Zijun spoke up, asking the question he most wanted to know: "The power of magical girls is similar to the Tree of Life, so can we use your magic to eliminate the influence of the Outer Path Demon?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhixin composed herself.
She carefully considered Tang Zijun's suggestion. "To be honest, I don't know either. Although magical girls' magic is all blessed by nature, there are still differences between different elements."
As she spoke, Tan Zhixin looked up.
"For example, I am a wood elementalist, which is more in line with the race of fire elementalist magical girls, but I am not confident that I can remove the corruption of the heretical demons."
"It's just that we're not sure, but it's not that we can't do it, right?" Tang Zijun leaned forward.
"Hmm." Tan Zhixin hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly, then turned to Hyacinth and asked, "How is the Tree Crown Royal City now? How far have those heretical demons progressed in their destruction?"
"The outer barrier has shattered, but the power of the Heart of Life remains. The Canopy Royal City can barely withstand the attacks of those corrupted beings, but it probably won't last long," Hyacinth replied.
Tang Zijun nodded. "The external barrier should refer to the veil between the secret realm and the real world. That's where I met this little guy. The space there is chaotic, and you can easily get lost if you're not careful."
Tan Zhixin frowned slightly. For someone capable of traversing reversed worlds to show such a troubled expression, the situation there must indeed be quite complicated.
"Did you come back through the mirror that reversed the world?" Xiaoqing asked Tang Zijun curiously.
"Hmm." Tang Zijun nodded. "Although the space is shattered, the passage to the Reverse World is still there. To be honest, without the help of the Reverse World, it would probably not be an easy thing to enter or leave that space."
Tang Zijun was not joking about this. After the curtain of the secret realm shattered, that special energy invaded the fog, directly causing chaos in the real world shrouded in fog.
Countless fragments of space overlapped together, making it difficult even for the strange beasts to distinguish directions, let alone other beings.
Moreover, even if you can tell the direction, it's useless. The different spaces mean that no one knows where they will end up if they take the next step. It could be a forest, a stream, or even a bottomless cliff.
For ordinary people, even a single wrong step can be a life-threatening risk.
In other words, Tang Zijun was highly skilled and daring, and because he was protected by armor, he didn't care much about those things. But even so, he still had to rely on Langya's help to barely find the right path in the chaotic space.
Otherwise, finding Chang Lei wouldn't be an easy task for him.
"Then we won't be able to provide support?" Xiaoqing turned to look at Tan Zhixin, her forked tongue flicking in and out.
"It's not that serious." Tang Zijun crossed her arms. "I've already set up an anchor point over there. As long as there's light, I can still return to the secret realm of the Tree Crown Royal City. But it'll probably be daytime by then."
"Do you have a way to heal the Tree God?" Hyacinth ignored Tang Zijun's words and stared intently at Tan Zhixin with wide eyes.
Tan Zhixin took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
All I can say is that I can try my best.
"That's great!"
The latest novel is first published here!
Hyacinth got excited and then she started taking off her clothes.
No, it can't be called clothes. Tang Zijun's attention had been focused on the difference between hyacinths, these special creatures, and humans, and she hadn't paid much attention to anything else.
Seeing the hyacinth's movements, Tang Zijun realized that the flowers' coats were made of leaves, making them look both miniature and exquisite.
While Tang Zijun was still in a daze, the hyacinth had already peeled off its outermost layer of leaves. Upon seeing this, Tang Zijun quickly turned her head away and covered the hyacinth completely with her hands.
He had no interest in being curious about the body of a Thumbelina, let alone someone who had lived for at least several hundred years.
Tan Zhixin was also startled by the hyacinth's movements, but she quickly noticed that the innermost layer of the hyacinth's "clothing" looked strange and extremely unusual.
Even the simplest robe made from leaves requires tailoring, but the innermost leaf of the hyacinth is left untrimmed, tightly wrapping around it.
Moreover, the leaf has a very strange color; it's golden.
"What is this?"
"This is golden leaf," Hyacinth replied immediately.
Tang Zijun, who had turned his head, was stunned by what he heard. He hadn't seen what was hidden under Hyacinth's clothes and thought she had taken out a cigarette, even though he knew that was absolutely impossible.
"The golden leaf is a manifestation of the divine power of the Tree of Life. No matter where we are, as long as we can activate it, it can teleport us to the territory of the Tree Crown City," Hyacinth explained as she put the leaf back on her body.
Tan Zhixin silently accepted the golden leaf. Sure enough, she could feel a faint magical fluctuation within this strange leaf, which was similar to the wood element but more full of vitality.
Moreover, upon touching this leaf, Tan Zhixin felt a faint revival of the remaining magic power within her body.
"Teleports you back to town, great stuff."
Tang Zijun turned her head back and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Hyacinth had already tied her clothes. She then continued speaking.
"It's pitch black there at night, and without any light, even if I had anchor coordinates, it wouldn't be enough. But with this, we can speed up our progress."
"Um"
Tan Zhixin's expression was somewhat serious, but she quickly returned to her normal smile.
After a moment of contemplation, Tan Zhixin turned to look at Tang Zijun.
"Mr. Wolf Rider, could you please speak to me in private?"
Tang Zijun didn't react for a moment, but then he noticed that Master Qingnang had stood up and was heading towards the stairs.
Watching Tan Zhixin's graceful figure slowly disappear around the corner of the stairs, Tang Zijun, though filled with questions, silently put down his teacup and turned to follow her.
I need to get an IV drip, so my update schedule will be irregular these next few days. Please understand.
I'll try my best to release the bonus chapter for monthly pass winners this week.
