I loaded the dream game

Therefore, the forbidden medicine named "Penglai" naturally represents immortality and eternity.

Life and death are two opposing concepts. However, after taking the Penglai medicine, it is equivalent to eliminating the concept of death. If death does not exist, it is naturally impossible to die.

To put it simply, humans will die if they are killed, but Penglai people will not die no matter how many times they are killed, and even if they die, they will be resurrected immediately.

It is precisely because of this effect of reversing life and death that it is regarded by the Moon as an infinite filth and is listed as an absolute taboo.

But there are not so many rules on earth. It can even be said that Penglai medicine itself is an elixir that countless people in power desire. Since there is no threshold for taking it, theoretically any living creature can rely on it to gain eternal life.

But unfortunately, this kind of thing is not useful during the summer solstice.

Like Ailuke, he is also the star god "Ersansan". He himself also has no concept of death. As a star god with an immortal body and an indestructible soul, he is not much worse than the people of Penglai in terms of immortality.

Not to mention that Xia Zhi is also blessed with characteristics such as "multi-time and space" and "eternal connection". It is no exaggeration to say that killing him is much more difficult than killing a Penglai person.

“I see…” Kaguya smiled gently. She didn’t seem to feel sorry at all. One could even say that she had expected this.

"As expected, father is not an ordinary human being."

"You should have known this when you saw how much I could come up with, right?"

"But I'm not sure whether you will die or not. I can't just stab you for something like this, right?" The girl tilted her head and replied.

Summer Solstice:…

indeed.

"So where is mother?" the girl asked.

"She is indeed an ordinary person..." Xia Zhi said, hesitating a little.

Logically speaking, if the Penglai medicine is used on Xia Zhi, it does seem quite suitable, but...

"Are there any taboos on use?" Xia Zhi asked worriedly.

"for example?"

"No use for those under 18 or something like that."

Kaguya:......

This is our regular medicine.

and……

"I started taking it when I was sixteen." Kaguya replied with a blink.

I'd never trust you.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

But speaking of age...

"If I'm not mistaken, after taking the Penglai medicine, the user's physical condition will be fixed accordingly, right?" Xia Zhi asked the girl.

“That’s right.” Kaguya replied.

The girl's answer made Xia Zhi immediately give up the idea of ​​giving it to Xia Zhi and the others.

There is no need to talk about little Xia Zhi. Even the grown-up Xia Zhi now is still in the developmental stage of adolescence. Her body has been shaped so early. What will she do if she has no room for development in the future?

"In that case, let's leave these two bottles of Penglai medicine with father for now."

As Kaguya spoke, she stuffed two small bottles into the boy's arms. Her casual attitude made it seem as if the elixir of immortality that countless people desired but could not obtain was just two bottles of ordinary yogurt drinks to her.

...No, if it was really yogurt, she would probably keep one bottle for herself, right?

Xia Zhi thought about it, took out a bottle of yogurt from his personal universe and handed it to the girl in exchange.

Sure enough, the girl happily accepted it.

Maybe to her, yogurt is more attractive than Penglai medicine.

But, doesn’t this also indirectly prove that the taste of Penglai medicine is actually not that good?

Looking at the cute girl holding the paper box in both hands and sipping the liquid in small sips, Xia Zhi thought to himself.

"Father..."

Kaguya looked up and saw the boy in deep thought. It seemed that he had misunderstood something. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Shall we... leave here?"

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned.

Leave? Why?

"This place has been noticed by the Moon Capital, and Eirin's arrival proves it."

Kaguya replied and explained: "Even with your ability, father, no one can guarantee that this place is absolutely impossible to find."

The girl's worries were not wrong. After all, Xia Zhi only made it impossible for others to "discover" this place. But if Yonglin had directly chosen to launch a range attack, the attack would still cover the wooden house. In that case, it would be meaningless whether it was discovered or not.

"Being disturbed all the time is a nuisance, and being watched closely is also a nuisance. Even though I know it's not easy for them to find this place, just knowing this is enough to make me upset."

There was one more thing the girl didn't say.

She herself didn't care, but... even though she knew the probability was very small, she didn't want the boys to get hurt because of her, even if there was only a slight possibility.

"So, let's leave here." Kaguya suggested, looking at the boy in front of her.

"After all, it's a defection, so we should act like a defector, right?"

"..."

Xia Zhi was silent for a moment and did not answer. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "As far as I know, the Moon People will not die either, right?"

Although she didn't quite understand why the boy suddenly asked this, Kaguya still answered: "It's not quite correct to say that they won't die, but they have almost no impurities in their bodies, so they won't die from natural aging..."

"That is to say, their lifespan is also infinite." Xia Zhi raised his head, looked at the girl in front of him, and asked softly: "So, you plan to keep running away like this forever?"

Kaguya tilted her head slightly, confused.

Isn't this what so-called defection is all about?

"But I don't like it." Xia Zhi looked into her eyes and said seriously.

As a sinner, I have to hide forever and can't see people in the sun... or moonlight?

How could a Moon Princess endure such injustice?

"But there's nothing we can do about it," said the girl.

If she didn't want to go back to the moon, this was the only way, right? After all, it was unlikely that she would go back and overturn the Moon City.

Although she is the Princess of the Moon, she is also a criminal, otherwise she would not have been exiled to the earth... In this regard, even as a princess, she has no privileges.

"Then let me put it another way."

Xia Zhi paused for a moment, looked at the girl and continued, "As my daughter, how can I let you suffer such an injustice?"

Kaguya was a little stunned.

Xia Zhi's expression softened, and he gently stroked the girl's smooth hair, saying softly: "You are not a sinner, and you don't need to care about the Moon City's thoughts. Even if you are not a princess of the Moon, you are still the princess of our family."

"So... just live in this world the way you like, and leave everything else to me."

after all……

"Who made me have a daughter like you?"

It's not the moon, but the princess of this family...

Kaguya looked at the boy in front of her, her eyes flickering slightly. After a long while, she took a breath and said with a smile: "Father, you are still talking to yourself and being unreasonable as always."

Why am I unreasonable? Xia Zhi felt a few black lines on his forehead and complained in his heart.

"But there is nothing I can do. You are my father." Kaguya said almost the same words as the boy just said. She looked at him with a smile on her face and said softly:

"Then my future is in your hands."

The moment the words fell, a new task prompt appeared in front of Xia Zhi again...

.......

Chapter 497: Summer Solstice Moon Landing Plan

[You have triggered a new side quest: Any method is allowed. Let the moon take back the punishment on Kaguya Houraisan, free her from the identity of a sinner, and create a different future for her.]

[Task Reward: 800 Dream Points]

How should I put it? Although the rewards for the main quest of this copy are quite small, the rewards for the side quests are unusually generous.

Just from Kaguya, plus this mission, Xia Zhi can earn almost two thousand points.

only……

Looking at the task panel appearing before his eyes, Xia Zhi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although the task given by the dream game just happened to be in line with his wishes, there is still a problem.

How can he get the Moon City to retract its punishment on Kaguya?

You know, even as Princess Kaguya, after touching the taboo of Penglai medicine, she was mercilessly executed by the Moon Capital. It was not until later when they found that there was no way to kill her that they chose to exile her to the earth.

From this alone, we can see Yue's attitude towards filth. What method can be used to make them change their minds and stop pursuing the punishment of the girl who touched the taboo?

In fact, there is no need to think too much, the answer is obvious.

"Sure enough, in the end, I still can't avoid this link?" Xia Zhi sighed slightly, turned his head to look at the bright moon in the night sky outside the window, and thought to himself.

"Father?" Kaguya looked at the boy who suddenly fell silent in confusion and called him.

"...Nothing." Xia Zhi took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, looked at the girl, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll go out for a while and be back soon. Don't worry about me."

Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to delay any further and resolve the matter as soon as possible, he thought to himself.

The girl was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Obviously, if he was just going to go around the area, there was no need for the boy to say this specifically.

and so……

"Are you going to do something?"

Facing the girl's question, Xia Zhi smiled and replied:

"Go and create a new future for you."

……

Now that I have made a promise to the girl, it is only natural that I should show the corresponding enthusiasm.

Feeling the biting cold wind blowing past him, Xia Zhi thought this in his heart.

The whistling sound of the wind was left far behind him before it could even reach his ears. At a flying speed close to the third cosmic speed, the speed at which the air vibrations spread seemed too slow.

Now on the summer solstice, we are on our way to the moon.

Since we want the Moon to withdraw its punishment on Kaguya, the simplest and most direct way is naturally to go to the Moon and have a face-to-face talk with the people of the Moon.

As for the ways to go to the moon, there are many, such as through dreams, through the reflection of the illusory moon in the water, with the help of the power of barriers and magic, etc.

But Xia Zhi chose the simplest and most brutal method - directly landing on the moon.

Anyway, for him, the time required for these methods is actually about the same, and the latter is even more convenient and can save some points.

As Xia Zhi was thinking this, he felt the air around him becoming thinner and realized that he was almost leaving the atmosphere.

How should I put it? Although it was a little strange and uncomfortable to suddenly lose the air and be unable to breathe, there was no other impact other than that.

After leaving the atmosphere, Xia Zhi could finally put aside his worries and control the magic power in his body again.

The next moment, like a stream of high-energy particles being released in a directional manner, a huge amount of magic power was ejected. The originally invisible energy was highly concentrated and squeezed to release heat, which burst into a dazzling light and left a long tail behind him. Like a meteor, it flew towards the distant night sky...

……

At the same time, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the external security defense department of the Moon City, immediately waking up the staff on duty who was coughing.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The girl, who also had a pair of long rabbit ears on her head, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, hurried to the control console, and asked the operator about the situation.

"An unidentified object has been detected approaching the moon at high speed. It is predicted to land near the Moon City!"

Unidentified object? Meteorite?

The girl on duty wondered in her heart and continued to ask: "Can we take it down?"
