After a brief silence, Qianxue pursed her lips and continued walking on the sea. They were walking towards a small island not far away.

They haven't visited other islands since they arrived. They will go to the island that Ying and the others visited later, but for now they should just walk around the nearby islands.

Kurumi was held in Princess Qianxue's arms. She slightly poked her head out and looked at Qianxue's feet, which only caused ripples on the water.

I just feel surprised that Funina didn't give her such fun power. I will definitely greet her next time we meet.

After arriving at the isolated island, Qianxue put Hu Tao down and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was almost exhausted to death. She stretched her arms and followed Hu Tao's pace.

It is obvious that no one has come to this isolated island. When you walk to the middle of the island, you can see the end at a glance. There is nothing else except a few trees.

"It feels like there's nothing here?" Qianxue said as she looked around.

"I am watching. As expected, we should go to where the travelers are. The travelers said there is a castle there."

"Isn't that Fischl's Night Paradise?"

Speaking of the castle, it is connected to the mountain and the overall color is purple, which really matches the color of Fischl.

"It's like a manifestation of the depths of one's soul, drawn out by the power of dreams, right?"

After experiencing the dream, Kurumi gained some understanding of these powers. Just as Ying and the others said, whether it was Manye's or Fischl's, they were the memories and desires deep in their hearts.

"Yeah, speaking of the strange power of dreams that has enveloped the archipelago, aren't there any strange sights here? Like a talking tree or something."

Qianxue and Kurumi walked hand in hand on the isolated island. They could see the sea at a glance. Qianxue tried to find strange creatures.

"Although what you said is ridiculous, Qianxue, after seeing the talking squirrel and the boat, I think it is possible."

Walking to the few trees on the island, the two turned around curiously.

"Hey, you two, please stop turning around. My eyes are blurry."

"Hey! There really is a talking tree!" The tree closest to them made a sound. Qianxue's ahoge stood up instantly, and she pointed at the old tree in front of them and spoke.

"Really? Old Tree, Old Tree, where are your mouth and eyes?"

Hu Tao's eyes also lit up. Here, anything could happen. He looked around the old tree several times but couldn't find any mouth or eyes.

When Qianxue heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. How could a tree have eyes and a mouth?

"Look at Walnut, you don't understand. Old trees must have internal sound-producing mechanisms in their bodies, just like... Ouch!"

Before Qianxue could finish her words, a branch gently hit her on the head. Covering her head, Qianxue looked at the old tree aggrievedly, not understanding why the tree suddenly hit her on the head.

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing Qianxue being hit on the head by a branch, Kurumi covered her mouth and smiled, with a look of gloating in her eyes.

"Okay, I won't tell you."

"If you have nothing to do, please leave now. You are disturbing my peace for no reason."

Lao Shu ordered them to leave, and Qianxue and Hu Tao had no choice but to leave. Since that was what they said, they would not bother anyone here. It must be that the two of them really disturbed Lao Shu's rest.

Qianxue and Hu Tao left. After they left, the leaves of the old tree trembled with excitement. If someone saw it, they would think the tree had gone crazy.

"Haha, it's the breath of the God of Grass. I actually touched it!"

Qianxue, who had no idea why, was still touching her head. What a shame! She was slapped for no reason. If she wasn't kind-hearted, she would have let the old tree that had always lived in a mild climate experience what it was like to be in the snowy mountains.

"Qianxue, does your head still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. The slap wasn't too hard. It just itches a little."

"Oh, I'm a little disappointed."

Looking at Hu Tao's disappointed expression, Qian Xue's mouth twitched fiercely. Damn it, does she want to see someone being beaten and crying?

We played around and came to the other side of the isolated island. After sitting on the beach to rest, we decided to go find Ying and the others.

He was walking on the sea again, holding Walnut in his arms. On an island in the distance, a group of Fatui were observing the situation on the sea with telescopes, and they saw a situation that made them dumbfounded.

Are you saying there was a girl walking on the sea holding someone?

When one of the Fatui saw this, he quickly ran to tell their captain, and the captain also came over to observe.

"Hmm... Holy crap, there really is someone walking on the sea. Hiss... The more I look at it, the more familiar it looks. Damn his legs, isn't this Qianxue?"

"Captain, what should we do now?"

"What can we do? Just pretend we didn't see anything. She is a close friend of the traveler. She has forgotten the beating she got yesterday. There are really all kinds of people here."

"okay."

After giving the instructions, the captain of the Fatui left, and the Fatui continued to observe Chiyuki and Kurumi through a telescope. He was relieved to see that their destination was not the island they were on.

Chiyuki and Kurumi on this side had no idea that they had just been seen by the Fatui.

First they returned to their base camp and took a short rest.

"Let's go! The Pure Land of Dark Night!"

"Is this really okay?"

Hu Tao's voice was a little hesitant. Looking at the sea in front of him, Hu Tao rarely hesitated.

"Hey, Kurumi, trust me, let's go!"

Qianxue patted Kurumi's head, causing anger to appear on Kurumi's forehead. Now Qianxue was sitting on her shoulders with her hands on her head.

During the break, Qianxue came over and said there was a way to allow her to walk on the sea. Hu Tao immediately became interested and asked Qianxue to tell her how to do it.

What Qianxue meant was that she sat on Hu Tao's shoulders. Only in this way could Hu Tao walk on the sea like her.

"Don't hesitate, Kurumi, let's go! Let's go!"

Chiyuki, sitting on Kurumi's shoulder, pointed at the island in front of them and directed Kurumi to move forward.

Without any hesitation, Hu Tao stepped on the sea. Seeing that she was walking on the sea just like Qianxue, her eyes lit up with joy and her steps quickened.

Although Hu Tao was fast, he still had to consider someone. After spending some time to get to the island where Ying and the others came from, he saw half a mirror buried in the beach as soon as he landed on the island.

Qianxue jumped down from Kurumi's shoulder, and the two of them walked over curiously. When they saw a strange purple light flowing on the mirror, they looked at each other. Could this be a portal connecting dreams and reality?

"Hmm... didn't Ying say it was a pool of water? Did we find a new one?"

Qianxue touched it lightly with her finger, and her finger miraculously slipped in. This made Qianxue find it fun to move her finger in and out.

Hu Tao looked helpless and lifted Qian Xue up and put her aside. She then tried to see if she could pull the entire mirror out of the sand. She grabbed the mirror frame and pulled hard. Then, the mirror that was taller than a person was pulled out of the sand.

"It's quite big. I should be able to go in directly, right?"

After shaking off the sand and placing it on the beach, the mirror could not reflect their appearance. There were other colors in the flowing purple light, which seemed a bit confusing.

"Let me try."

Qianxue squatted down and put her hand directly inside, her eyes slightly dilated. This feeling was really magical.

"Did you find anything?" Hu Tao also half-squatted, with his hands on his legs, and asked curiously.

"Hmm... I don't think there's anything special. Let's just go in and take a look."

The arm that Qianxue put into the mirror was not much different from the floor-length mirror of Fucaros.

"Okay, I'll go in first."

Seeing this, Hu Tao prepared to go in before Qian Xue so that she could predict in advance if there was any danger inside.

"Oh, it's all the same. I just don't know what kind of dream I'll enter."

After saying that, Qianxue stood up and jumped in. Seeing this, Hu Tao also hurriedly followed Qianxue and jumped in.

After a dizzying moment, Qianxue found herself in a strange space. The environment here was gloomy and the temperature was cold. Touching the stone walls, she felt that they were quite old, so she should be in a secret place.

I just don’t know where Hu Tao went, and this is not the secret place in the plot, it should be a new dream. After all, she and Hu Tao came here together this time, so it’s hard to say what will happen.

Here Qianxue called Hutao several times but got no response. If Qianxue guessed correctly, Hutao should have followed her in when she just entered. If it was not a fixed location, then it must be random.

In this case, Qianxue began to wander around here. There was a trap door to her west, which was the only exit here.

Qianxue walked over and found a mechanism at the door. After studying it, she opened it. The stone door emitted a bright light and opened. In front of her was a larger space, surrounded by ancient stone walls covered with green moss.

Looking around, she finally saw a small figure in a corner. Qianxue's heart trembled and she walked over carefully. The closer she got, the stronger the sense of familiarity in her heart became.

When Qianxue was less than one meter away from the small figure, surprise appeared in Qianxue's eyes.

Because the person in front of him was none other than the young Kurumi. When little Kurumi noticed someone coming, he looked up and saw Qianxue, and was stunned on the spot for a moment.

"What a nice view…"

"Haha, I heard it."

Qianxue couldn't help laughing when she saw little Hutao's dazed look. She actually met the same Hutao here. So Qianxue probably knew where this place was.

She remembered that Hu Tao was only thirteen years old when his grandfather left, and he looked about the same age. At the age of three, Hu Tao recited books by standing upside down and read through all the famous articles in the collection. At the age of six, he chose a day to skip school and sneaked into a coffin to sleep soundly. At the age of eight, he stayed in the hall and studied funeral rituals.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so dazed. Could it be that he is in pain from having just lost a loved one?

"Well... it's normal to hear that. This place is not for ordinary people to come. Go back quickly."

This is the border, the dividing line between life and death. No one knows this except the successive masters of the Wangsheng Hall. The person in front of him either came in by accident or has been following him.

"You're still talking about me, kid. If it's dangerous, then just follow me and leave."

He wanted to touch Kurumi's head, but Kurumi dodged him and looked at Qianxue warily.

"I... I'm here to work. The 77th head of Wangsheng Hall is me, Kurumi. I'm different from you."

Hu Tao hugged the dry food tightly in her arms. She now had reason to suspect that the woman in front of her had ill intentions, even though she was so beautiful that Hu Tao had never seen such a beautiful woman before in her life.

She has the Eye of God on her waist, and I am definitely no match for her. I can only wait and see when the right moment to run away.

"Really? This should be the border, the dividing line between life and death. According to legend, people will see deceased relatives and unfulfilled souls here. Walnut, are you here for your grandfather?"

Hearing this, Kurumi's eyes widened slightly. How come she knew everything?

"It seems that I was right. Do you want me to accompany you? There are monsters deep in the border. It might be dangerous if you are alone."

“…You look suspicious.”

Kurumi narrowed her eyes and looked at Qianxue in front of her, with suspicion in her eyes.

She knew everything, but she acted like she didn't want anything, which was really wrong.

What bad intentions could Qianxue have? She just wanted to accompany Hu Tao at this time.

"Hehe, you see, a cute girl like me definitely wouldn't have any bad intentions. So, just let me accompany you, Kurumi."

"Okay, then you stay with me and don't touch me."

Hu Tao stared at Qian Xue's light blue pupils, which were as clear as the sky without any distracting thoughts, which made Hu Tao relax her vigilance a little.

Qianxue was right. As they went deeper, monsters would appear. Although there weren't many in number, she would be in big trouble now. If the owner of the Eye of God was with her, things would be much faster.

If she was delayed by the monster and didn't see her grandfather's ghost, it would probably leave her with a lot of regrets.

"Yeah, by the way, my name is Qianxue. You can call me sister, or you can call me Sister Qianxue. Both are fine."

"Got it, Chiyuki."

"..."

Following Hu Tao, the Hu Tao at this time was much more immature than the Hu Tao that Qianxue knew. Thinking of Hu Tao's experience, Qianxue sighed. She was only thirteen years old and had to take over the Wangsheng Hall, and the first funeral she took over the Wangsheng Hall was her grandfather's.

With Hu Tao around, everything went smoothly. Hu Tao was very familiar with the mechanisms in this secret realm.

Finally, we arrived in front of a huge stone door. There was nothingness all around, and huge pieces of rubble were floating in the nothingness.

And there were monsters wandering in front of the stone gate. Hu Tao looked at Qianxue, and Qianxue raised her eyebrows, looking at me, she is so powerful now.

"Call Fukaros! Call Fukaros!"

“…I thought Qianxue had some backup plan.”

Fucaros's helpless voice sounded, as gentle as ever.

"Hehe, my backup has always been you, Fukaros."

Hearing this, Fucaros just smiled. With Fucaros around, the monsters were quickly cleared out by Qianxue, who took Walnut into the huge stone gate.

At this time, Hu Tao and Ying looked at each other. Ying and the others were walking fine, but Hu Tao fell from the sky and almost sat on Ying's head.

"Kurumi, are you saying that you and Chiyuki found a mirror, jumped into it, and ended up here?"
