Tap-tap-tap~ Thump-thump-thump
“Hurry, hurry, let’s go purify the Black Magic Circle!” “We just need to cast the Purification Spell on the Magic Array, right?”
“Should we dig the dirt, or water it? Who cares, let’s just try everything!”
Following the mature and charming motherly Succubus’s brief guidance, a flurry of hurried footsteps began to echo across the World Tree.
Yet in stark contrast to the surging tide of people rushing downward, a slender young girl’s figure was moving against the current. Su Lulu cradled the soft and squishy Su Xixi protectively in her arms, her other hand tightly gripping the White Staff her mother had left behind. Her toes lightly tapped and leaped across the rough bark, her form as agile as a deer in the forest, with the Big Guy following closely behind.
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t seen her mother in a long while, or perhaps because her precious little sister Su Qi was currently in crisis, and her mother’s appearance might very well hold the key to breaking the situation—two emotions warred within her.
As Su Lulu ran toward the top of the World Tree, she felt her little heart begin to pound uncontrollably.
As Su Lulu drew closer to the treetop where the World Tree Fruit hung, a sweet, rich fragrance gradually permeated the air, lingering around the tip of her nose.
Breathing in the fragrant scent of the World Tree Fruit, Su Lulu froze for a moment.
This smell feels a little familiar… Why does it vaguely give me the sense of overlapping with the fragrance on Su Qi’s body?
Is it my imagination?
“Xixi~”
Perhaps to verify Su Lulu’s conjecture, Su Xixi, who was also catching the fresh scent of the World Tree Fruit while nestled in Su Lulu’s arms, let out an adorable, squeaky coo.
But before Su Lulu could ponder the connection between the two scents any further.
Because she had moved so quickly, she had unknowingly already reached the very top of the World Tree.
At the summit of the World Tree, due to the presence of the World Tree Fruit, dozens of Guardian Elves clad in green armor stood guard beneath the fruit to protect it. Lilia, standing at the very front, had her sapphire-blue eyes filled with vigilance.
Upon seeing Su Lulu step onto the treetop, the crowd of Elves couldn’t help but glance over.
Although many of the Elf Girls could sense some resemblance in appearance between Su Lulu and Su Qi, and even recognized Su Xixi, that adorable little one.
Still, considering that the World Tree Fruit was the treasure of the World Tree and the most precious fruit guarded by the Elven Clan—
Immediately, Lilia and the other Elves instinctively stepped forward, extending their jade-like arms to block Su Lulu’s path, cautiously asking her purpose in the Elven Language: “!@#% (What are you doing here?)”
Su Lulu herself didn’t understand the Elven Language, but Su Xixi in her arms was naturally a little Interpreter. The little one’s ears twitched, just about to lean in and relay the words, when Su Lulu suddenly felt a warm, gentle heat emanating from the staff in her palm.
The next moment, the staff slowly radiated a soft, lustrous white glow. The light rippled outward like water waves.
Then, a gentle voice etched deep in her memory suddenly echoed across the empty treetop. But this time, the voice wasn’t speaking the human tongue—it was speaking the unique language of the Elven Race.
To Su Lulu’s surprise, the voice of her mother emanating from the staff this time carried not only its usual tenderness but also a subtle trace of majesty hidden within. It was like night and day compared to the mother who loved to play pranks and pull silly little tricks on a daily basis. The immense sense of dissonance left Su Lulu stunned for a moment, even forgetting to have Su Xixi translate the content of the words.
And as the words fell.
The next second, Su Lulu and all the Elves present couldn’t help but widen their eyes, gazing at the fruit at the very top of the World Tree.
At this moment, the World Tree Fruit on the highest branch, as if receiving some unknown command, began to flicker with faint, dazzling radiance. The fruit seemed to possess a life of its own—at first, only subtle tremors, like a sleeping baby turning over, then gradually growing in amplitude, swaying side to side on its slender vine, exuding an irrepressible joy and Excitement.
But before Su Lulu could even wonder why the World Tree Fruit would have such human-like qualities—
Plop~
With the violent shaking of the World Tree Fruit, the thin vine that supported the Peach-sized World Tree Fruit finally snapped from above.
The juicy, succulent World Tree Fruit began to fall from the treetop.
Seeing this, Su Lulu and the Elf clan members couldn’t help but panic, quickly rushing beneath the tree to catch it.
After all, the World Tree Fruit was pink and tender, clearly not built to withstand a fall. If it dropped onto the trunk and got bumped or bruised, that would be terrible.
In reality, everyone’s Concern was clearly unnecessary.
After the World Tree Fruit fell from the tree, it was as if a pair of invisible wings had formed behind it, gently carrying it as it slowly took Flight.
Then, before everyone’s astonished gaze, it flew steadily and securely into the embrace of the adorable little Su Xixi.
“Xixi~”
The image of the fluffy, pink little Su Xixi cradling the juicy, water-rich World Tree Fruit that resembled a big Peach—
Was unexpectedly soft and adorable, giving off a sort of “cute colliding with cute” vibe.
Combined with the way Su Xixi was tilting her little head at that moment, it added even more charm to the scene.
In the past, Su Lulu would have definitely pinched Su Xixi’s little cheeks and thoroughly pampered her, but right now, compared to the adorable scene, seeing the fruit voluntarily throwing itself into their arms, Su Lulu was more concerned about what her mother, the so-called Prophet, had actually said in the Elven Language. Because judging by the current situation, the World Tree Fruit flying into Xixi’s arms was clearly all part of the plan.
And just as Su Lulu was about to ask the little Interpreter Su Xixi what had just been said—
She saw Su Xixi’s soft, squishy little face take on a hint of seriousness, and she spoke one word at a time.
“Xixi (Lulu, big sister, Auntie told us to quickly deliver this fruit to the Clan Leader and Little Red Pupil, xixi! This fruit is the key to breaking the situation now, xixi!)”
Deliver the World Tree Fruit and turn the tide of battle?
That’s what her mother had instructed?
Hearing Little Red Pupil’s words, Su Lulu couldn’t help but look at the small red dragon and the big black dragon currently chasing—well, more like playing hide and seek in flight—through the air, and then at the ground outside, where despite the Adventurers’ purification, most of the area was still shrouded in deathly black miasma.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
How are we supposed to deliver it?
The ground is clearly not an option, and I can’t Fly myself.
Fly?
Just as the word “Fly” crossed Su Lulu’s mind—
She heard a faint dragon’s roar from beside her.
Roar~
She instinctively turned toward the sound, and Su Lulu froze.
Perhaps it was the trace of Life Aura from the newly ripened World Tree Fruit that had been absorbed by the Big Guy.
The Big Guy, who had already taken on a Flood Dragon Form after eating the Shuxi Bento earlier—
What had been a pair of small wings on its flanks, more decorative than functional, suddenly began to grow at an alarming visible rate. Feathers layered and spread outward, multiplying several times over in just a few breaths. It was as if an Evolution had occurred—the pure white wings suddenly expanded severalfold, now carrying a hint of the uncanny, and the silver scales seemed to have become even more exquisite.
Seeing this, after a brief moment of shock, immense joy welled up in Su Lulu’s heart. She looked at the pink dragon silhouette darting frantically through the sky and clenched her small fist.
Now that the Big Guy has wings, the World Tree Fruit can finally be delivered to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi, wait for your big sister. Big sister is coming to save you right now.
With that thought, Su Lulu didn’t hesitate. Her toes lightly tapped, and she landed familiarly atop the Big Guy’s head.
“Xixi (Let’s go, xixi!)” With Su Xixi’s command—
The next second, the Big Guy flapped its wings and soared into the sky, chasing after Little Red Pupil.
When the crowd of Elves saw the evolved Big Guy carrying Su Xixi and Su Lulu away, hope glimmered in their eyes. Someone murmured softly, their voice trembling with reverence:
“Holy Beast, it’s a new Holy Beast!”
“May this time, we defeat the Evil Dragon!”
The devout Elven prayers drifted up on the wind, but Su Lulu had no time to pay them any mind.
All her attention was focused on that crimson figure struggling desperately in the distance ahead.
Feeling the ever-increasing centrifugal force, hearing the roaring wind in her ears, watching Little Red Pupil draw closer and closer—
Su Lulu’s Peach Blossom Eyes shimmered with radiance.
Xiao Qi, your big sister is here!
