Iris complained with a bitter face while using her ability to slightly improve a small area, and then accelerated the growth of trees, trying to artificially create a shaded area.

As a result, the speed at which she made trees grow was slower than the speed at which they withered. Even if she tried her best to use the power of "Mountain and Sea", it was difficult to defy the Ten Days Disaster that permeated the "Qingqiu Kingdom".

At this moment, Iris's phone rang. When she turned it on, she heard a strange female voice, but with a familiar tone.

"Oh my, little Iris, are you here? Everyone is waiting for you!"

There is only one person Iris knows who has such a pretentious voice.

It must be Yue Jian.

However, unlike the loli voice that made people's scalps numb in the past, Yuejian's voice at this time was much clearer and more pleasant. I think this should be her real voice.

“I’m here, but I don’t see anyone.”

Iris looked left and right, but could not find any trace of any living creature. She felt as if she was about to be sunburned by the scorching sun.

Such a tragic situation happened on her first long-distance trip, and Iris wanted to cancel the trip and go home.

"Oh, sorry, sorry... I forgot that you have never been to Qingqiu before." Yue Jian on the other end of the phone slapped his head and said, "Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you right away... Oh, I found your coordinates, let's go!"

The next moment, a hazy gust of sand blew up.

Iris was just in a trance, and her body, which was almost dizzy from being exposed to the sun, suddenly felt a refreshing coolness.

Looking carefully, everything around has completely changed in an instant. It is no longer a barren hill, but a lush green hill covered with dense forests.

Luo Ling and Iris looked up subconsciously, and there was only a setting sun in the sky.

At this moment, a burst of laughter and joy came from far away. Iris looked in the direction of the sound and saw through the gaps in the dense forest that some men and women in simple clothes were sitting by a campfire, singing and dancing.

Not only that, in this endless forest, there are many similar small settlements of all sizes.

"......"

Luo Ling observed his surroundings carefully and remained silent.

"What's going on?" Iris hadn't figured out the current situation yet, and her expression was full of panic and confusion. "Have we been teleported to another place? Or..."

"No, we are still here, our location has never changed, except..."

Luo Ling's voice rang out in Iris' mind, whispering, "Time is different. This 'Qingqiu Country' exists in the 'past'."

When the tenth day has not yet arrived.

It's similar to the method used in "Metamorphosis" to delay the doomsday disaster, but it's a lot cruder.

The "Kingdom of Qingqiu" can only be said to be hiding in the "past" and has not really returned to the past. The disaster of the ten days is still raging in the "present".

Even so, to hide such a large place in the past and still maintain it is an unimaginable power.

"Little Iris~"

At this moment, Yuejian's voice sounded from behind, and then Iris felt a shadow seemed to appear above her head, and then she was embraced by the other party.

Iris immediately broke free and hid behind a nearby tree, looking at Yuejian warily.

Seeing that she failed to hug Iris, Yuejian looked a little regretful, but soon she chuckled and said,

"I recognized you at first sight. Even your body shape hasn't changed. It's really easy to guess, hehe."

"You, you are Yuejian?"

When Iris saw the real Tsukimi, she couldn't hide her shock.

Completely different from the petite loli image that she always appeared in tea parties, Yuejian in the present world is a tall woman with a delicate and charming oval face and a pair of fox eyes that always have a sly smile.

more importantly...

Iris's gaze moved slightly downward, revealing a turbulent tide of emotions that were completely undisguised.

"Tsk."

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Iris seemed to hear someone spitting in disdain.

Yue Jian held her arms, her pair of soft fox eyes constantly looking at Iris, but the smile on her lips never disappeared.

"You are Sister Tumi, right?"

Iris still refused to give up. It was hard for her to accept that Yuejian's true appearance would be like this.

"She's not, I am."

Just then, a slightly childish voice sounded nearby.

A petite figure appeared, with Tumi's expression showing a little helplessness.

Completely different from the gentle lady at the tea party, Tumi doesn't look much older than the "White Witch". Her blonde hair and blue eyes clearly show where she is from.

But in addition to these more common features, what is even more striking is...she has a pair of long, pointed ears.

Humanoid creatures with these characteristics are usually called elves.

Suddenly, Iris became even more confused.

She looked at Tumi and then at Yuejian, and felt that if the two of them switched appearances, she might be more accustomed to it.

"Wait, Sister Xuemei..."

Iris suddenly thought of Xuemei, the person she was least familiar with among all the tea party members and the one she rarely did business with.

After hearing what Iris said, Yuejian and Tumi both showed strange expressions.

After a moment's hesitation, Yue Jian said,

“Actually, there is a huge difference…”

"Bigger than all of us."

Tumi nodded slightly.

"What are you calling me for?"

At this time, a cold voice sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall and burly figure slowly emerging from the woods.

The first thing you see is a pair of glass-like eyes, and then a pair of dazzling... antlers.

As a slightly cold breeze blew by, a divine deer with skin covered with a thin layer of frost and snow appeared in front of everyone, with a familiar look of indifference and coldness on its face.

Not to mention Iris, even Luo Ling almost fell down.

"You are...Sister Xuemei?"

Iris's expression changed, and she spoke with great difficulty.

The first two were still human beings after all, but when it came to Sister Xuemei’s turn, she wasn’t even a human being anymore?

and many more...

not human?

Luo Ling suddenly thought of something. She turned her head to look at Yue Jian and Tu Mi, and saw their expressions of fear. She recalled various signs in the past and realized something in an instant.

"No wonder...Xuemei has never been interested in the path to becoming a god."

"No wonder Xuemei rarely proposed a deal and rarely communicated with other tea party members. She always spoke in fragments."

“This is the truth.”

Xuemei is indeed not a human being.

She...or rather, He.

It's a weird one.

Chapter 5 Another Weird One (k)

The burly giant deer looked down at everyone condescendingly. His eyes showed no sadness or joy, and did not carry any human emotions. It was almost the same as the weirdness that Luo Ling had recognized before, but he was able to communicate and interact with them.

Although Xuemei behaved strangely at the tea party, she was at most a taciturn person, and no one expected that "Xuemei" would be such a weird person.

In other words, He is a "weird human-like being" in the true sense, rather than an ambiguous existence like Luo Ling.

However, even the other members of the tea party had never encountered a situation like Xuemei.

It is rare to find a monster that can break free of the constraints of instinct and think like a human being, not to mention that they are always lurking around them.

Of course, the first one must know Xuemei’s true identity, but he has never revealed any information.

but...

This also shows that almost all the members' images at the tea party were disguised.

Needless to say, Luo Ling had one vest after another, and it was true and false at the same time. She herself didn't know how to calculate it.

Yue Jian, who has a loli image, is actually a tall and charming vixen in her real life; Tu Mi, the gentle but scheming elder sister, is actually a blonde elf loli; Xue Mei, who has always been taciturn, is not even a human being, but a weird person who has transformed into a giant deer.

Only Miss Iris, the first person to give the mysterious color, used it as a mask...

The mask can indeed cover the face to a certain extent, but other features are too obvious. There is no need for Luo Ling to use "omniscience" to open the box. Anyone who is interested can get Iris's real information with a simple check.

"It's a rare opportunity for us to gather together in this place. We are all familiar with each other, so there is no need to introduce ourselves." Yue Jian winked at Iris and said, "Or is it that stupid sister Iris hasn't figured out the situation yet?"

Different from the distorted loli voice before, Tsukimi Gense's voice is full of temptation and teasing. It is as pleasant to the ears as the soft music, captivating and fascinating. Even women can't help but be moved by it.

Unfortunately, Iris didn't buy it at all. For various reasons, she had no good feelings towards older sisters or even old women like that. She just felt a chill and said with disgust,

"Don't call me sister, you're too old."

Luo Ling on Iris's head flapped her wings in agreement. That's right, to her, who was only sixteen years old, everyone present was an old woman.

In an instant, the smile on Yue Jian's face became a little stiff.

...old?

When she revealed her true identity, when was anyone told this...

Tumi, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but smile a little, and there was a hint of mockery in her eyes when she looked at Yuejian.

Compared to the young Iris, she is indeed an old woman who is unaware of herself.

"Hmph." Yue Jian snorted and said, "Little Iris, you really don't know how to talk. I'm going to punish you later."

Hearing this, Luo Ling couldn't help but flap her wings a few more times. She recalled some not-so-pleasant memories.

"Alright, alright, enough of the fooling around. Now let's get down to business. Let's leave the first person and Zizhu, who has a close relationship with the first person, aside and have a private gathering. This is not a place for you to have fun and joke around."

Seeing that the atmosphere was less strange than at the beginning and had returned to its usual familiarity, Tumi stood up at the right time.

Although she looks like a loli...her style of doing things is not much different from that at the tea party.

Putting aside her overly childish appearance, she is even more like a real big sister than Yuejian.

Tumi looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her, then she continued,

"I believe everyone is already clear about the reason why the First One proposed the Path to Godhood."

Yuejian and Xuemei both nodded slightly, but Iris looked confused.

What do you mean?

She doesn't know.

Luo Ling could vaguely guess what Yue Jian meant by her words. She had made some inferences before, and it seemed that she was not the only one who realized this.

"The First has been using us all along, and her purpose is not pure... Let's put it this way, we even suspect that the First is an incarnation of the silent taboo "Naraku"."

When Tumi saw Iris’s expression, she knew that this girl was almost the only innocent girl at the tea party. She really didn’t know how such an innocent little girl managed to sneak into this den of old foxes.

"Naraku incarnation!"

Iris's expression showed a moment of shock, and in an instant, the image of the first person in her mind seemed to become a little clearer.

became...

The appearance of "Purple Pearl".

Anyway, "Zizhu" is the chosen one by Naraku, which makes sense.

Luo Ling, who was nestling on her head, knew at a glance what the single-celled organism Iris was thinking and pecked it a few times in silence.

She has said several times that she is not the chosen one of Naraku, and has nothing to do with "Naraku", just like she has nothing to do with "Jingwei" now.
