Mio frowned slightly, seeming unhappy that her tenderness with the boy was interrupted.

Xia Zhi rubbed her hair to comfort her, then looked up at the door, hesitating for a moment.

...... ... .......

What to do? He doesn't want to leave the bed.

Fortunately, the person outside the door was reasonable enough. Seeing that the door had not been opened for a long time, he pushed it open and walked in.

“Crack…Bang!”

"..."

Looking at the remains of the door lock fallen to the ground, Xia Zhi fell silent.

Next time I’ll emphasize to her that she shouldn’t just push into a locked room.

Changing the lock is a hassle.

He thought to himself, looking up at the green-haired girl who appeared at the door.

It’s Cong Yun.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but think back, the same scene seemed to have happened last time?

To this time and space, it seems like it just happened last night?

But, unlike "yesterday"...

"If you want to sleep together today, it may be a little inconvenient." Xia Zhi glanced at the girl's current state in the quilt and said tactfully.

Cong Yun tilted his head in confusion

Why is it inconvenient today?

She glanced at the silver-haired girl next to her master, whose cheeks still had a slight blush, shook her head, and continued

"Someone is here to see the master."

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned

It’s so late, who would come to see me?

……Several.

Chapter 1026: The Girl from Three Hundred Years Ago

Originally, Xia Zhi wanted to put on his clothes and follow Cong Yun out, but he didn't expect the girl to climb straight onto the bed.

Wait, what is this for?

"?"

Cong Yun tilted his head in confusion.

"Master, don't you want to see her?"

Xia Zhi didn't quite understand what seeing people had to do with her climbing up.

Besides, at least wait until I get dressed.

He complained in his heart, pulled Cong Yun, who kept stealing glances at them, aside, asked Mio to help watch her, and then got up and put on his clothes.

Cong Yun wanted to see curiously, but Mio covered her eyes with her hands.

"Good kids, don't peek~"

Mio spoke softly, as if coaxing a child.

"Is Mio a good kid?" Cong Yun asked curiously.

"Xiazhi is my boyfriend."

"Oh……"

The girl nodded, not quite understanding.

When Congyun broke free from Mio's hands, the boy had already changed his clothes.

Just when Xia Zhi was about to go out, Cong Yun ran to his side and took his hand.

Xia Zhi lowered his head in confusion and saw the girl blinking at him six, three, seven times.

The next moment, a mysterious force covered his whole body, as if taking him somewhere.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Zhi did not reject this power.

Immediately afterwards, a very familiar feeling of dizziness swept over my body, just like the experience of passing through the clouds and traveling to another time and space.

When Xia Zhi opened his eyes again, the world around him had changed.

The scene I saw was no longer the familiar bedroom, but an empty sidewalk surrounded by something that looked like a park.

The street lamps on both sides of the road cast dim light, the shadows of the trees swayed gently in the breeze, and there was a slight coolness in the air.

Xia Zhi could only be thankful that he had dressed well in advance.

Otherwise, you will really catch a cold, right?

"There's no one else here."

Cong Yun raised his head, looked at him and said.

This has nothing to do with whether there is anyone there, right?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, then was stunned for a moment.

Wait...is she trying to comfort me?

He ruffled the girl's hair and asked:

"Where is the person you are talking about?"

Cong Yun did not answer, but took his hand again and led him in one direction.

Xiazhi was somewhat familiar with this park. He had come here to play with Mio, Sonoko and others when they were on a date before.

However, just as the girl said, there was not a single person in the park... Not only the park, but the entire city was extremely quiet. Although the lights in the distance were on, no noise could be heard.

At the same time, Xia Zhi also discovered that although the connection between himself, Sonoko and Togo was not broken, he could clearly feel that they were not in this time and space.

Obviously, what he felt before was correct, he had indeed come to another world.

A similar world, different time and space, and an empty city made Xia Zhi think of the mirror world in the floor-length mirror.

While he was thinking this in his mind, Cong Yun took him around a corner.

Then, a figure that was somewhat unexpected appeared in front of Xia Zhi.

There was a bench under a street lamp in the distance, and a girl was sitting on it, swinging her legs boredly.

Hearing footsteps coming from the end of the road, she looked up and saw the boy, a happy smile bloomed on her face.

"Ah, good morning, Mr. Solstice."

She paused for a moment, raised her head and looked at the night sky above her.

"Or should I say good evening?"

Looking at the figure of the purple-haired girl in front of him, Xia Zhi was slightly stunned.

"Hinata?"

Kamisato Hinata slightly put away the smile on her face and bowed slightly to him.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I shouldn't have come to visit you at this time."

"It's just that the time on both sides doesn't seem to be synchronized. It's still daytime where I am."

The information revealed in her words showed that she was the Kamisato Hinata who had just parted with Xia Zhi, and not her at any other time.

If you want to say that I am disturbing you, then of course I am disturbing you, but now is not the time to worry about it.

Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly

"Why are you here?"

Could it be that she could also travel through time?

"Thanks to the help of Lord Shenshu." Kamisato Hinata replied.

Cong Yun?

Xia Zhi turned around and looked at the green-haired girl beside him.

Facing his gaze, Cong Yun blinked and replied:

"This is inside Congyun."

"..."

Xia Zhi guessed that she probably wanted to say that this was the world inside the sacred tree or something like that.

"Because Hinata said she wanted to see the master, Cong Yun asked her to come here." Cong Yun raised his little head and looked at Xia Zhi, his clear eyes blinking, as if expecting his praise.

Although he felt that nothing was explained clearly, Xia Zhi still rubbed her hair, making the girl close her eyes comfortably.

...This is the Lord of the Divine Tree.

On the other side, Kamisato Hinata was thinking while watching this scene.

Although she already knew from the various oracles she had received before that the Lord of the Divine Tree was very fond of the young man.

But now it seems that I have got the relationship between them wrong.

It's not about favor, but about attachment, right?

Hinata felt like he had discovered something extraordinary.

She coughed lightly and explained:

"This seems to be the space inside the sacred tree. I am able to come here because of my special status as a priestess."

...After listening to Congyun and Hinata's explanations, Xiazhi roughly understood.

Because the existence of the sacred tree runs through the entire three hundred years of history, the world within it is naturally also connected to all of time and space. It is equivalent to a common world that exists in different eras at the same time, allowing people from different time points to exist here at the same time.

"At present, it seems that only we, the shrine maidens, can come to this world..." Kamisato Hinata continued to explain.

It should be said that she was the only one who could establish a sufficient degree of direct connection with the sacred tree and thus be guided to come to this world.

If other priestesses want to come, they will need her help to guide them.

This was not because Cong Yun gave her any privileges, but because her qualifications and abilities as a shrine maiden made her the most outstanding among the shrine maidens of that era.

"Originally, I wanted Jasmine to come and see you, but she refused." Kamisato Hinata said with some regret.

Xia Zhi was not surprised by this.

Unlike others, Yokote Jasmine is a girl who is persistent in pursuing a normal life. Things like this involving the supernatural will undoubtedly cause her originally settled life to be disturbed again, and it is normal for her to subconsciously resist contact.

Accepting the task of serving me was probably the limit of what she could accept after weighing the pros and cons.

...A girl who longed to be ordinary ended up becoming a shrine maiden. It must be said that this was a joke of fate.

"Wakaba and Touna really want to meet you, but since they are not shrine maidens, they cannot come here for the time being." Kamisato Hinata continued.

Although the hero can use the power of the sacred tree, he is far inferior to the miko in terms of communication with the sacred tree, let alone the most powerful Hyuga.

So, this is why she came alone to see Xia Zhi today.

It's a pity indeed, Xia Zhi thought.

“They can come here, too.”

Cong Yun suddenly said this.

Kamisato Hinata was slightly stunned, and then immediately asked hopefully: "Is it possible?"

Xia Zhi, who was listening on the side, felt that this setting seemed a bit familiar.

Wouldn't it be like drawing a card to summon something like that?

He complained in his mind.

Cong Yun nodded first, then shook his head:
