“…” Xia Nuo had nothing to say.
Because when you think about it carefully, what the man said actually makes sense.
“But…but…” Xia Nuo shook his head, trying to get this terrible thought out of his head, he whimpered, looking like a poor little animal, “Stop talking, let me calm down, okay?”
He found that he was really easily led astray by that man.
The man closed his mouth obediently, but just because he didn’t speak didn’t mean he couldn’t do other things, Xia Nuo just watched him walk towards a clump of Geling flowers next to the big tree.
Geling flowers look like roses, and the man introduced them to him before. This kind of flower symbolises faithful love. If a boy in Nasuru wants to propose to a girl, he must plant a pot of Geling flowers for her.
Did Kan Lan’er want to send him flowers?
Xia Nuo forgot his original intention for a moment, and couldn’t help but look at the man secretly.
Then he saw the man picking off the Geling flowers one by one, removing the thorns, cutting off the stems, and gathering the flowers together one by one…
Xia Nuo couldn’t help but widen his eyes, as if witnessing a miracle, he saw a little pink rabbit being born under the hands of the man.
Xia Nuo had also seen flower bears before, but he had never actually seen the real thing.
For his own good, his parents cut off almost all ways for him to come into contact with flowers, but Xia Nuo became more obsessed with flowers because of this.
When the holy tree bloomed a whole tree for him, although Xia Nuo didn’t say anything on the surface, his favor towards the holy tree actually increased a lot.
The flowers in the shape of cute bunnies hit the nail on the head for Shano, who loves both flowers and small animals.
When the man handed the little rabbit to him, he stretched out his hands to take it carefully, for fear of accidentally damaging this beautiful work of art.
“It’s amazing.” Xia Nuo murmured.
His eyes were shining brightly, as if the stars from the sky had fallen into them, and the man’s heart felt slightly hot when he saw the moving light.
As soon as Xia Nuo saw it, he felt that all the entanglement and hesitation before had become worthless. If a man could promise to give him a small animal made of flowers every day, Xia Nuo felt that he could agree to him immediately.
“……”
The man was taken aback when he saw the boy’s joyful expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.
What’s going on here? It’s rare for the man to feel a little nervous. Isn’t this trick very successful?
This is the gift that he can think of most easily to impress him after paying attention to the boy’s every move, guessing his likes and dislikes.
Could something be wrong?
In any case, he never imagined that Xia Nuo was suddenly in a daze because he didn’t expect that his willpower would be so weak that he would be easily corrupted by the flowers sent by the man.
It’s too hasty for me to treat feelings like this!
Xia Nuo severely criticised himself in his heart.
Before you figure out your feelings for the man, how can you easily agree to someone else’s confession! Wouldn’t this make him the type of scumbag he hated the most?
Xia Nuo remembered that he used to accompany his elder brother to watch idol dramas. Whenever he saw a scumbag who couldn’t recognize his feelings, vacillated, and hurt the innocent and kind heroine, he would express his deep contempt for him.
Alas, is he about to become the type of person he hated the most before?
The man didn’t realize that a huge halo had gradually risen above his head, marked ‘Simple and Kind Heroine’.
He looked at the young man looking at him with some doubts, a flash of guilt flashed in his eyes, and then he was firm.
The boy’s voice is still soft and sounds a little immature, but the determination in it cannot be ignored. He said: “I can’t give you an answer right now, because I don’t know whether I like you or not. I hope you can give me some time. Let me think about it before I give you an answer.”
――“Okay?”
It is naturally impossible for the man to give a negative answer.
He also didn’t want to push the boy too hard. For him, getting such a response had already reached the victory of the first stage.
――“Okay, I will wait patiently.”
……
It was completely dark and they had reached the top of the mountain.
Located at the highest point of the mountain forest, it seems that you can touch the twinkling stars in the sky when you look up. The holy tree stands not far away, and the moonlight pours down like water, and the branches and leaves of the holy tree seem to be stained with a layer of silver light.
After getting closer, looking at the holy tree, it is a completely different scene.
The main body of the sacred tree is many times larger than its clone. Standing under the tree, Xia Nuo suddenly felt very small compared to the huge body of the sacred tree.
It is impossible to have such a huge tree in real life, right?
Xia Nuo was suddenly glad that he was able to enter the game. In the game, he saw wonderful sights that he might never be able to see in the real world, met many people with different personalities, felt novel things that he had never experienced before, and…
He couldn’t help but sneak a glance at the man standing behind him with a gentle face like water.
He had to admit that meeting Kan Lan’er was the luckiest thing for him.
“Should I still put my hand up like before?” Xia Nuo asked.
After talking to the man, they resumed the previous mode of getting along.
The corner of the man’s lips curled up: “No need, just look back.”
Xia Nuo turned around in surprise, and saw a soft green branch hanging from the tree, stopping straight in front of his eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Xia Nuo tentatively grabbed the branch.
It feels amazing, he sighed in his heart.
The branches are soft and elastic, the ice is cool, and the surface is very smooth.
He couldn’t help pinching it, and felt that it felt like the slime crystal slime he played with when he was a child.
Then he felt that the branch seemed to respond, and it also gently scratched his palm.
“It’s itchy!”
The skin of Xia Nuo’s palm was delicate and sensitive. After being scratched by the sharp head of the branch, an unbearable itchiness rushed from the palm of his hand to his heart, and he immediately wanted to withdraw his hand.
Unexpectedly, the branch turned against the guest instead, twisting and wrapping around his wrist, and even tapped his wrist lightly, and drooped as if apologising.
“…Is it human?” Xia Nuo asked in amazement when he saw this scene.
Although the branches are part of the sacred tree, he unconsciously separates the two.
The man smiled and said nothing, Xia Nuo remembered that he did not come here to play with the holy tree, but to seek the help of the holy tree.
He gently held the branch and conveyed his message to the holy tree:
Dear Lord Sacred Tree, I got lost with my teammates in the mountains. Would you like to help me and tell me the whereabouts of my teammates?
Considering the status of the sacred tree and the villagers’ reverence for the sacred tree, Xia Nuo used honorifics to express his respect for the sacred tree.
Soon, the Holy Tree responded.
Its voice was a bit ethereal and ethereal, but it could clearly be heard that it was a male voice. For some reason, Xia Nuo always felt that he had heard this voice somewhere before.
…It must be my illusion, right?
Xia Nuo quickly denied this guess.
The holy tree replied: Of course, you are the darling I have chosen by myself. I love you enough that I am willing to meet all your requirements. Not only can I tell you where they are, but I can free them from the snake’s nest, but…
Before Xia Nuo had time to be happy, he heard this rather disturbing turning point.
“But what?” he asked cautiously.
——But you have to agree to one of my requests.
The sacred tree said: Although I love you very much and am willing to fulfill your wish, I must also abide by the fair law of equivalent exchange in this world, so you have to pay the corresponding price.
“What is that request?”
From the very beginning, Xia Nuo was prepared that things might not go so smoothly, and he was not too disappointed when he heard the answer from the Holy Tree.
What he was worried about was, would the Holy Tree’s request be too outrageous?
You know, he is penniless now. He felt that the holy tree could not get what it wanted from him.
If he can’t afford the price, he can only choose to refuse.
——It’s very simple, I ask for the right to be pardoned.
“The right to pardon?” Xia Nuo pressed his ear, wondering if he heard it wrong.
――At the moment when you put me on trial, I hope to escape capital offence.
Trial? Capital offence?
Xia Nuo became more and more confused.
First of all, how could he be qualified to judge the holy tree? Second, did the holy tree commit a crime that was enough to cause death?
He couldn’t help looking at Kan Lan’er as if asking for help, wanting to hear his opinion.
“What’s the matter? Is the request of the sacred tree difficult for you?” The man asked after receiving his help signal.
“It’s not difficult…” Xia Nuo said hesitantly, “It’s just that the holy tree asked me to forgive him… why?”
He felt as if he didn’t have such power.
The man lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment: “Promise him, what he is asking for is not a pardon on the secular level,”
“What is that?” Xia Nuo was even more puzzled.
——It is only you who are qualified to carry out the only right to survive in the almost mortal emotional trial.
“…” Xia Nuo had nothing to say.
Because when you think about it carefully, what the man said actually makes sense.
“But…but…” Xia Nuo shook his head, trying to get this terrible thought out of his head, he whimpered, looking like a poor little animal, “Stop talking, let me calm down, okay?”
