Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

"Of course, no problem. The Night Sword Saint has helped me so much, it's only right that I help you."

So, Qin Yu took the Eternal Queen to the plantation, where the newly planted advancement fruits had begun to grow, but some problems arose.

question.

The Eternal Queen was slightly surprised and incredulous when she saw these fruits. There was such a wonderful plant that could directly increase one's rank by eating it, but it only worked on low-ranking creatures.

"No problem. As I said before, I would give the Night Sword Saint his most precious thing, and this will come in handy..."

The Eternal Queen took out an item from her storage space—a golden flower petal.

Gently dropping the petals, the golden petals shimmered and instantly enveloped the entire plantation. Transformed by the golden petals, the plantation became an eternal garden, more vibrant and lush than before, where the creatures could feel incredibly relaxed and comfortable.

And those fruits that had advanced in rank also grew and bore fruit rapidly under this effect, some even undergoing mutations...

Chapter 253 The Moon Goddess's Intentions

In the Eternal Garden

All the upgrade fruits have ripened, numbering in the hundreds. In addition, dozens of them have mutated, which is equivalent to having dozens more seventh-tier combatants in the territory.

Seeing this, Qin Yu was naturally very happy, because last time he leveled up in the Kingdom of the Dead, a group of his subjects reached the sixth rank, and now he could finally help them take another step forward. This was all thanks to the Eternal Queen's help, and it seemed that bringing her back was indeed the right choice.

As for losing the bet with Luna, Qin Yu no longer cared at all.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, you've been a great help to me this time..."

Qin Yu's words came from the heart. The Ascension Fruit could finally enter the mass production stage, and the trade between the Alchemy Alliance and the Magic Kingdom could be put on the agenda.

"It was nothing. If the Night Sword Saint has any other needs, please feel free to come to me..."

That golden petal was specially used to create the Eternal Garden. Only one petal is produced every hundred years, and the Eternal Queen has only three petals, two of which were left to her by her mother.

The Eternal Garden exists to transform the surrounding land into a suitable living environment for the Eternal Queen.

The area around the Eternal Queen's residence in Utopia is like this, but because the production time of these golden petals is so long, it's unknown how long it will take to cover the entire Utopia.

The Eternal Queen settled down in the Eternal Garden without Qin Yu interfering. The immediate priority was to distribute the fruits to the people, allowing those with high aptitude to consume them first to enhance their combat power.

In addition to the rank-up fruits, there are also aptitude-enhancing potions. Using the two together can raise the rank of the people to at least rank 6.

In an instant, the Snowfeather Guild territory became lively, with everyone celebrating their improved strength, and some even breaking through to the 7th rank.

Rock sugar pears, candied hawthorns, and aged vinegar from the Magic Kingdom all received this gift and were directly promoted to Rank 7. Of course, Qin Yu did not forget the gifts for Elifiel and Noel.

The Sorcerer King also received the gifts from Qin Yu, "As expected, I made the right bet..."

The next day, things went wrong.

"Hey! Xiaoyu! Stop playing dead! Get up!"

Qin Yu, who was still asleep, was woken up by Luna.

"What is it? Don't wake Xiaoxue up..."

Qin Yu glanced at Yin Feixue sleeping beside him. She didn't seem to be greatly affected. In fact, Luna had cast a soundproofing spell on Yin Feixue.

"Hmph, you're gone now. You're my servant today, and you have to listen to me in everything!"

Luna's current demeanor exudes a smug and arrogant air, making Qin Yu want to slap her, but he thinks better of it and decides to accept his loss.

There was nothing Qin Yu could do but follow Luna out, not knowing what Luna planned to do.

She thought Qin Yu would serve her in public, but Luna took Qin Yu to a place he didn't know.

But this is good, at least we don't have to do shameful play anymore.

Luna didn't say anything along the way, but Qin Yu felt that her expression was somewhat solemn, unlike her usual self.

Soon, the two landed at what appeared to be a makeshift mountain camp, which looked like it had been set up recently.

Why come to a place like this?

Qin Yu asked, puzzled.

"Hmph, now you are my servant, and you are not allowed to ask your master any questions!"

Luna pointed at Qin Yu and shouted arrogantly.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Qin Yu was speechless. Shut up, silence is the highest art of language.

There was no one else there, only Luna and Qin Yu. Luna asked Qin Yu to do this and that, and even asked him to cook for her, which Qin Yu agreed to. It wasn't a big deal if it was just the two of them, but the worst thing was doing these things in front of a bunch of people, which would be like a public execution.

Soon it was dusk, but Luna showed no sign of leaving, and Qin Yu had no idea what she planned to do there.

"Moon Goddess, may I ask you a small question?"

Qin Yu asked in a gentle tone.

"Ask away, ask away..." Seeing that Luna was enjoying her meal, Qin Yu let her ask.

"How long are we going to stay here?"

"Stay until I'm happy to go back."

That's like saying nothing at all. We agreed on a one-day timeframe, so this guy shouldn't try to renege.

A while later, it was already evening, and it seemed they would be sleeping in the middle of nowhere tonight.

"Xiaoyu, come here."

At Luna's invitation, Qin Yu sat down next to her. Luna patted the spot next to her, indicating that Qin Yu should sit closer to her, so Qin Yu had no choice but to move over.

As soon as she sat down, Luna snuggled up to Qin Yu and leaned against him.

Pointing to the starry sky above, she said listlessly, "Isn't it beautiful?"

The night sky is indeed beautiful, but could Luna have specifically asked him to come and see the stars?

"You're beautiful, just as beautiful as you, Luna." Qin Yu tried to tease Luna, but Luna immediately pinched him.

"Hmph, you're not allowed to praise your master now."

Since he wasn't even allowed to be praised, Qin Yu simply shut up. Silence is the art of language.

"Xiaoyu, beyond the starry sky lies my homeland, the Star Realm. It's a true paradise, a place isolated from the world..."

For some reason, Luna started talking to Qin Yu about these things, and Qin Yu didn't intend to interrupt, but quietly listened to Luna continue.

"Countless times, I wanted to go back there, but I failed each time. Later I realized that only if I died could my soul return home, and the same was true for the soldiers of those stars..."

Like the Star Guardians, Luna can only return to the Astral Plane and her homeland after she dies.

"But when I experienced a rebirth and returned to the top, I finally understood, I understood so many things..."

This refers to the story of how Qin Yu used the divine puppet body to transfer Luna's soul when she was on the verge of death, allowing her to be reborn. In the end, she returned to level 10 and became even stronger than before.

As she spoke, Luna placed her slender hand on Qin Yu's cheek and gave him a smile, a gesture that made Qin Yu feel uneasy.

"Xiaoyu, I know how to get back to the Star Realm. Would you like to come back with me?"

"..."

As she said this, Luna's voice trembled slightly with tears, "Take Xiaoxue with you, take everyone you think is important, let's leave this place and fly far away, okay?"

Luna's tears were already welling up in her eyes, and Qin Yu reached out to wipe them away, but Luna's tears seemed to have gotten out of control.

"..."

Qin Yu didn't know what Luna knew, but it must be something very important, otherwise she wouldn't have lost her composure like this.

"Luna, what exactly do you know?"

"Answer me, Qin Yu! You cannot ask your master any questions right now!"

Luna stopped Qin Yu from asking another question with a commanding tone, and Qin Yu could only think for a moment before answering.

"Sorry, no, at least not now..."

Chapter 254 The Secrets of the World

Damn, everyone else is spending New Year's Eve in hotels and fencing, but I'm stuck sleeping through my dad's birthday party after drinking too much. (Late update)

-

"..."

Upon hearing Qin Yu's answer, Luna's tears stopped. She forced a smile, as if she had already guessed the answer, and said, "I knew you would say that..."

Then she hugged Qin Yu, as if she had just tested him, which left Qin Yu a little confused.

What exactly is Luna trying to do?

"Hmph, if you dare to run away, I'll be the first to kill you..."

As she spoke, Luna forbade him from threatening Qin Yu, leaving Qin Yu speechless.

Luna nestled in Qin Yu's arms and asked another question: "Xiao Yu, one last question, if I'm gone one day, will you be sad?"

Qin Yu was stunned for a moment. Even without Luna, life would still be the same, but it would be a bit disappointing to lose someone who was noisy and bickering with him.

"Of course I'll be sad. Luna, I feel like life is losing a lot of its fun without you..."

"..."

He couldn't see Luna's expression at that moment. Luna wanted to cry, but she held it back and just buried her face in Qin Yu's arms.

"Hmph, I won't be absent!" Luna suddenly raised her head, and in the moonlight, you could see a few tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, but Luna responded to Qin Yu with a smile.

Time passed, and Qin Yu carried the sleeping Luna back to the Snow Feather Guild territory. In the end, he still didn't know what Luna was hiding from him, but who knows someday? He just hoped that when that day came, Luna would still be Luna.

In the void world

The blood moon hung high in the sky, below which lay a crimson ocean. A figure resembling Yin Feixue stood on the sea, gazing at the other side.

On the other side, opposite the blood moon, was a tranquil blue moon, and Luna stood facing that figure.

In this game of fate, the figure in front of Luna should never have appeared.

Because it's impossible for Luna and Yin Feixue to exist at the same time, to exist at the same time and fight side by side, and even more impossible for them to exist at the same time, fight side by side, and become good friends...

However, that's exactly what happened. From the moment Qin Yu saved Luna, this hidden path that could never be realized became clearer and clearer, and the figure that shouldn't have appeared became stronger and stronger.
