She traveled to the fantasy world and fought monsters

Mu Shuiqi nodded and immediately threw a fireball at the magnolia tree.

The color of the fireball actually changed.

It was no longer simply red. It had a vermilion core and an orange outer flame.

She couldn't help but think that Liu Huo's Three Absolute Fires were also of the same color.

"Why did my fire change color?" she wondered.

Bingyou watched with satisfaction as the fire burned the tree more and more vigorously.

"Because your Three Absolutes Fire Spiritual Power has increased, you are no longer afraid of water."

“Is this the final color?”

"No. The final color of the Three Absolute Fires is vermilion. Vermilion from the inside out."

"It seems that my spiritual power still has room for improvement." She smiled helplessly.

"That's natural."

The fire of the magnolia tree showed no sign of going out. Bing You waved his sleeves and cast a spell to break the fire.

The fire on the tree was finally extinguished, but some parts of the tree had melted, revealing the dry, tattered bark.

"This tree is quite innocent." She shrugged apologetically.

Bingyou said, "Yi Yao will cure it."

"Is Yi Yao a woodpecker? He can even heal trees."

"Yi Yao planted this tree when he first came to Bingling. He took good care of it."

"I see."

"It's been a thousand years now." Bing You sighed leisurely, "Time flies by so fast."

"Bingyou..."

After finishing her work, he wanted to go back to Yunzhong Pavilion, but she stopped him.

He turned around and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"I've been out for a few days. It's time to go back. Otherwise, my teachers will look for me." She whispered.

He acted calmly, neither forbidding her to leave nor trying to stop her. "That's your freedom."

"Yeah." For some reason, she felt a little disappointed. She wanted to be persuaded to stay.

Even if it was just a polite request to stay, it would be enough to make her ponder it for a long time.

Sadly, he never did.

"Then...goodbye." She said, "Thank you for the Sanjuehuo today."

"You're welcome. Consider it a return gift for the hawthorn biscuits you bought me." He looked at her, then waved his sleeves and flew towards Yunzhong Pavilion.

She watched his back as it gradually disappeared above the clouds, but she didn't say anything else.

This time, she left Chouchou in the ice tomb.

Go back to school alone.

She left Yicheng for a week, but when she came back it felt like a lifetime ago.

After knowing her own life experience, she returned to Yicheng and felt that she did not belong to this city.

She also has no home in Xuanyu.

I am wandering everywhere, with no return date.

No relatives.

Only three or two friends can comfort my loneliness.

After the May Day holiday, Mu Shuiqi didn't come back, so Cui Mengmeng asked for a few days of sick leave for her.

Seeing that her sick leave was about to end, she still hadn't returned. Cui Mengmeng was thinking of using her connections to find someone to get her a few more days of sick leave, but she returned instead.

Cui Mengmeng's heart finally settled down.

"What have you been doing over there these days? Why did it take you so long to come back?" Cui Mengmeng asked her.

She didn't know where to begin. "Well, it's a long story. Has anything happened in school these days?"

"It's nothing serious. Don't forget to review for this month's midterm exam." Cui Mengmeng has never worried about her exams.

Instead of worrying about Mu Shuiqi's exam, I should worry about whether I will fail. I should go burn some incense to Confucius and pray for good luck on my exam.

"Thank you, Mengmeng." She smiled at Cui Mengmeng.

Cui Mengmeng felt that something was wrong with her return this time. She looked very tired and unhappy.

"Qiqi, what did you do over there? Did someone bully you? Why do you look unhappy?"

"I...someone bullied me, but I'm not unhappy because of that." The "someone" she was referring to was Liu Huo.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say. If you don't tell me, who else can you tell?"

Cui Mengmeng was sometimes really worried about her. She always liked to keep things to herself when she encountered problems.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever stood up for her, and no one has ever been her backer, so she developed the habit of keeping everything to herself.

Her nose felt sore, "Mengmeng, I found my biological parents."

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.

When Cui Mengmeng saw her like this, she couldn't help but feel nervous: "What then? Did something happen?"

"It turns out they died a long time ago. I am really an orphan."

She couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears.

In the ice tomb, she didn't cry much.

Back to Cui Mengmeng, she no longer has to pretend to be strong.

"Qiqi." Cui Mengmeng hugged her distressedly, "Poor Qiqi, you are not an orphan as long as I am here. You are a baby with sisters, and I am your sister."

Cui Mengmeng is two months older than her and has always considered herself her older sister.

"Mengmeng, my parents are not from here. They are gods from the Xuanyu region. They were killed by bad people 1,800 years ago."

"So you're from Xuanyu too? Then how did you get here? And there's been a gap of 1800 years in between. Have you been reincarnated here for 1800 years?"

"There is no reincarnation. It was Bingyou who saved me in my mother's womb and preserved my spiritual roots. He has been nurturing my spiritual roots for so many years until I was reincarnated here 20 years ago."

After knowing the truth, she had completely given up the idea of ​​looking for her biological parents. It didn't matter anymore.

In this world, she was abandoned at birth.

For so many years, there has been no news of her biological parents. Perhaps it was destined, because she did not belong to this world.

"So you are the daughter of a god?" Cui Mengmeng pulled her to sit on the chair, wanting to hear her explain in detail.

She sighed, "My spiritual roots are severely damaged, and I am still a mortal. If I want to avenge my parents, I need to become stronger."

"Doesn't Bingyou seem very powerful? Can't he help you recover your spiritual roots?"

"How can spiritual roots be restored so easily? It's like a plant; once the roots are damaged, it's very difficult to grow back. Besides, he has done so much for me, I can't always trouble him."

"Speaking of the roots of plants..."

Cui Mengmeng looked at a succulent plant on the windowsill. Since the weather got hotter these days, she'd been watering it, causing the roots to rot and the leaves to swell.

This morning, she ruthlessly pulled it out, plucked off the waterlogged leaves, trimmed off all the roots, and placed it upside down on the windowsill to dry.

Cui Mengmeng's eyes lit up. "Look, the roots of succulent plants are damaged. If you remove the firewood from under them, it can actually encourage them to grow new healthy roots and continue to live. If you take good care of them, they can even grow stronger. Can your spiritual roots do the same?"

She was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but follow Cui Mengmeng's gaze. The succulent plant called Peach Egg was the most delicate one.

However, after Cui Mengmeng's pruning and rescue, it may have a chance of survival.

She wanted to discuss it with Bingyou when she returned to Xuanyu next time. She wondered if this method was feasible.

However, the most important thing right now is to catch up on the courses I missed, review my lessons, and prepare for the midterm exam.

Life is not just about poetry and distant places, but also about the present.

She also needs to live in the present.
