The Spirit World

Chapter 197 Tsubaki

"And then?" Chang Yufeng sat on the ground, eating a lunch prepared at home, which was wrapped in an iron lunch box. Now, this place was getting narrower and narrower. The fight that the woman in front of him just talked about was really dark and chaotic, even though she mixed in her own little thoughts.

It was an unintentional expression, and I wouldn't feel shy even if I told it to a stranger.

"Yes, yes! And then?!" Erica steadily and gently placed a set of cutlery in front of the woman in gorgeous clothes, and her clothes slowly began to turn into a light green.

The woman opened the lunch box and tapped her chopsticks, which made a clicking sound. It was very quiet here, as if there were only the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

The aroma of food wafts into the surrounding forests.

"Then, during this long thousand years, I have been nourished by this dragon bone and have become what I am now. This is something many people dream of, at least for you humans." The woman carefully picked the meat together and put it aside.

"Are you a tree demon or..." Chang Yufeng put a piece of meat in Erica's lunch box and picked up a vegetable to eat.

“A pure dryad…” The woman put down the lunch box and tied up her hair.

"What kind of tree is that?" Erica asked happily after eating a piece of meat. She was particularly close to this "young lady" who looked like the young lady who saved her life.

"The Chinese toon tree is a rare tree." The woman casually handed the meat to Erica one by one. She was also very gentle to this little girl.

Or rather, that's what her motherhood is like.

"You are!" Erica was a little surprised and a little bit unbelievable.

"It's just what you think. I'm a monster transformed by Granny Chun because she was attached to the human world. But I'm not Granny Chun after all. You can call me Chun though. I don't suggest it." Chun ate the vegetables with the white rice, feeling somewhat happy.

"Ah... it smells so good... it's been so long since I've eaten food cooked by humans."

The rice carefully prepared by Amina and heated by Chang Yufeng's flame took on an exceptionally golden luster. The special firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea seemed like authentic royal delicacies.

"It smells good, right? Sister Chun! My mom made it! Hehe." Erica happily moved her seat and sat down.

"Have you been here for a thousand years?" Chang Yufeng put another piece of meat into Erica's lunch box, and looked at Chun who was eating with relish with some doubt.

"What's wrong? Is it not possible? It's only a thousand years..." Chun ate in small bites.

"What are you doing here? I can't understand how boring it would be to stay in one place for a thousand years." Chang Yufeng shook his head.

"Of course, I'm not doing nothing. How should I put it? I will drive away those children who accidentally enter the forest. It's too early for them to enter this forest. There are too many bad guys who specifically attack children." Chun felt a little annoyed while eating. She threw the sleeves of her gorgeous clothes aside: "They are so heartless! I wouldn't feel relieved if I beat them all one by one! This is what I do."

This should be the reason why Tsubaki rescued Erica.

During the days that Chun was observing herself, with Chang Yufeng around, she naturally didn't need to worry about Erica, but the same couldn't be true for herself.

"They will definitely be severely punished." Chang Yufeng still shook his head: "If possible."

Ah...yeah...if it's possible.

"So... I still have no choice but to use force. Even though their target is children, I can only prevent them from coming into the forest. No one knows what will happen once they enter this forest. In most cases, people will not be treated as human beings. Here, everyone is a prey." Chun simply took off her bulky clothes.

"It's not that exaggerated..." Chang Yufeng tapped the lunch box twice with his chopsticks and stopped eating.

Many times, he felt that Chun said this to him on purpose. He had the illusion that Chun was more than just a new acquaintance.

"No, actually you know... the truth is often more exaggerated than what I said. If you give those people a gold coin, they may just take off one of your hair, but if you give them a thousand gold coins, they may take off your head. If you give them ten thousand gold coins, ten heads are no problem. If it's millions or tens of millions of gold coins, it's hard to say whose head will be taken off. The premise is that he can spend it. I'm not mocking that all human beings are like this, but I'm telling the truth about some people. Some greenhorns are so naive that they think money can't make the world go round. There's nothing I can do about it. I've done my best to drive them away from this forest. Besides, I'm still them - a little monster that everyone is afraid of." Chun looked at the pair of exquisite chopsticks, on which there was a clear "five" engraved, which looked like a number.

"So what? We can't save everyone. Many things can't be solved with just one sentence. Whoever is killed and who wants to kill whom, as long as they are not people around me, it has nothing to do with me, unless they touch people around me. However, if that is the case, I will make sure that they will never recover." Chang Yufeng shook the chopsticks, and clear water flowed over them, bringing the oil stains into the lunch box, and then closed the lunch box.

"There is no point in discussing this kind of thing." Chang Yufeng slowly stood up: "I won't be afraid of anything that hasn't happened yet. Including everything in the darkness. That's all."

The person who was so afraid and cowardly had long since been reduced to ashes. No longer existed. Erica did not speak, but just listened carefully.

She said reluctantly that she had gotten used to it.

I have no idea how to have a conversation with my brother and Grandma Chun about what they are talking about now, so I'd better forget it.

It smells so good with meat.

"You are scarier than I thought. In every aspect. Seriously." Chun ate the last cabbage and put half a bowl of rice aside: "That's right, there is no logic in this world. I have lived for a thousand years, and I don't know why Grandma Chun is nostalgic for this world. Anyway, it doesn't matter... I am the one who is alive now, not her. What do you want to do with the dragon bone?"

"To be honest, I can't do anything. The improvement that the dragon bone brings to me is too small." Chang Yufeng was stunned for a second. He began to search for something in the bag: "So, you will always be here to protect those children? After the dragon bone is gone."

"Of course, I don't have much to do, but if there is no improvement, then what do you need the dragon bone for?"

"I was wondering how to deal with your sneak attack on me."

"Ah... holding a grudge!" Chun cried out and lay on the grass, watching the mottled sunlight shining into her eyes.

"Hahaha, that's right. I'm quite vindictive." Chang Yufeng took out a handful of powder.

"What should I do? I'm penniless and can't give you anything. Except this dragon bone." Chun watched Erica pack the lunch box together.

Erica had no idea what they were talking about. She was completely confused. Fortunately, not understanding did not prevent her from packing up.
"I don't want anything you give me. Just continue to do what you want to do. However, in some ways, I do need Longgu to do something." Chang Yufeng sprinkled the powder on the grass.

Is this a negotiation condition? "So, what are you doing now?" Chun sat up and watched Chang Yufeng doing something as if nothing had happened. Erica also packed up her things and sat down.

"Catch the elves." Chang Yufeng looked at Erica: "Rui Rui, bring the sword over here."

"Okay!" Erica stood up, handed the Tianqing Feiyuan Sword to Chang Yufeng, and then slowly sat down.

"Catch Pokémon? Why catch Pokémon? Just have nothing to do after eating?" Chun said this without looking at the boy.

"I want to meet the so-called Elaine. I have a lot of things to ask her." Chang Yufeng unsheathes the scabbard, and the Tianqing Feiyuan Sword flashed with icy light. The powder drew a circle of light on the grass along the tip of the sword.

"Huh?" Chun sat up, looking confused.

A gust of wind blew through Chun's hair, and she shivered from the cold.

Elaine...?

You will be resurrected, I forgot.

Dragons are such powerful beings.

"Ha~" A yawning sound appeared in the circle.

"Oh, it takes so much trouble to find you..." Chang Yufeng sheathed the sword.

"I don't want to either... You put me there, I really don't want to come back." A little girl in a white flowery dress was flying in the air, with wings like flowers. She flew to Chang Yufeng's shoulder, she was like a miniature person, with blonde beauty and a pair of pointed ears.

"Yeah, yeah, it's all my fault for saving you?"

"Huh! That was so long ago..." The little guy put his hands on his hips, looking a little dissatisfied.

"I need to find the ice dragon, can you feel it?" Chang Yufeng gently handed the sword to Erica and motioned Erica to stand up.

"Yes, but you bother me every time, it's really too much..." The "elf" flew off Chang Yufeng's shoulder.

"What can we do? You know the reason." Chang Yufeng turned and looked at Erica: "Let's go, Ruirui! Let's go find Elaine!"

"So what if I know? I have already repaid all my kindness to you long ago..." The elf flew in front to lead the way.

"How about ten fruit candies? There's no candy there, right?" Chang Yufeng smiled happily and looked behind him: "Rui Rui, let's go... why are you standing there?"

"Okay..." Erica responded, even though she was extremely confused. All she had to know was that her brother was someone who would always surprise her.

No need to understand.

There is no need to understand such things.

Because, this is my brother.

"You know what! That's too much! Twenty!" The elf playfully stretched out two fingers.

"Too greedy..." Chang Yufeng looked at the elf flying in front of her, its flower-like wings colorful and gorgeous.

"make a deal."

"Oh hoo!" The elf danced around and it was no exaggeration to say that it was shaking with joy.

"Huh? Then what should I do? Are you guys leaving?" Chun was still sitting on the ground, watching them do this.

"Sorry, my brother is just like that..." Erica smiled awkwardly.

"No... that's not what I'm talking about, little cutie. I know your brother is just such a... uh... person..." Tsubaki stood up: "What did I mean by having nothing to do with me?"

"I heard it...see you again if we're lucky...Chun." Chang Yufeng waved his hand without looking back.

"See you again if we're lucky!" Chun waved slowly, then lay down on the grass again.

You know, if you tell a story, you're handing over the keel, so you should tell it for a longer time.

After all, no one is willing to stop and listen to my story anymore.

what……

Are you...really him?

The person that Granny Chun was talking about.

Still here?
Vigorous and decisive, extremely cold-blooded.

Oh no, it should be elegant, easy-going and gentle like a lonely old wolf.
