The wind blew through the tassels, and the red knots on the tree swayed, like ripe fruits in autumn.

Jiang Liujing slowly climbed up the largest tree in the forest amid the encouragement of "Come on, Xiaojing" and "Come on, you can do it, God Jiang".

Because he was not allowed to use magic, his movements when climbing the tree were very stiff, which fully exposed the fact that he was a lazy magician.

After finally hanging the red knot in his hand on the branch of the wishing tree which was said to be "very effective", Jiang Liujing almost breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sudden cheers from below.

It's over.

He turned his head to look at the ground, and when he saw that it was several times his own height away from the ground, he felt dizzy again.

Doesn't this mean he has to climb down?

"Can I use magic now?" he asked pitifully to the crowd on the ground.

Now that everything has been hung, this custom shouldn't be so strict, right?

However, the people on the ground all shook their heads, raised their arms and made a cross over their chests, meaning - no.

"You must respect the culture of other countries, Mr. Jiang!" Qiao put his hands to his mouth and shouted at him.

Jiang Liujing: "..."

But he felt that the culture of other countries did not respect him very much.

Is climbing up and down a tree something a nine-year-old should do?

He looked at the ground again and felt for the first time that the distance of ten or twenty meters was so far that it almost made him dizzy. He couldn't help but look at Chi in the crowd as if asking for help.

He doesn't need magic, can he find someone to pick him up?

Ignatius keenly noticed Jiang Liujing's request for help off the court and was about to stop him when Chi quickly walked forward.

Ignatius: “???”

No, buddy, can't you hold your will firm for more than a second?

He didn't even have time to speak!

Jiang Liujing didn't care. Seeing Chi open his arms towards him, he immediately closed his eyes and jumped down with peace of mind, trusting his own phantom beast. And Chi, as expected, caught him.

The young man's embrace was scorching hot, completely different from the freezing cold outside, and instantly enveloped Jiang Liujing like a warm quilt.

Jiang Liujing stayed in his arms for ten seconds and felt sleepy.

He actually woke up very early this morning, earlier than usual. He was woken by the cold.

Jiang Liujing's body temperature has been lower than that of ordinary people since he was a child, and he feels particularly uncomfortable in winter.

When he was a child, Xing Yue had to stay warm by the fire all night long in order to let him sleep in the winter. Later, when Chi came, Jiang Liujing got a pure natural human heater and was no longer troubled by the cold.

But Chi Xian left this morning, and Jiang Liujing lost his source of heat. He experienced the feeling of cold hands and feet again after a long time.

"Don't you dare sneak away without telling me again." Jiang Liujing pressed his face against the naked clothes, closed his eyes and muttered softly.

When he opened his eyes in the morning, he didn't see Chi, and he didn't respond to his private messages. Even though he knew it was impossible, Jiang Liujing still had a moment of thought in his mind that he might have been abandoned by Chi.

He was a child who was not wanted by his parents, so he treated the few things he had with great care. Losing them, or even just the thought of losing them, would make him panic uncontrollably.

Jiang Liujing doesn't like group gatherings, but he is even more afraid of being alone.

Chi hummed a low "hmm" and hugged him tighter.

When Miaomiao asked him where he was and he hesitated and didn't reply, Chi already felt a little regretful.

He sensed the child's anxiety on the other end, and at that moment he almost wanted to ruin everyone's plans and tell him directly.

Fortunately, Miaomiao soon found Mo Ya's letter and her emotions returned to normal.

Thinking of this, Chi glanced at Mo Ya with a cold look in his eyes.

He asked Mo Ya to put the note in the living room where Jiang Liujing usually went. Mo Ya didn't believe it, thinking that Jiang Liujing would feel hungry after getting up and go to the kitchen first.

Mo Ya, who was chatting and laughing with the person next to him, suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Liu An saw him turning back in a panic for no apparent reason and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Why does this guy look like there's a ghost behind him?

Mo Ya touched his neck and said with lingering fear: "I seemed to feel murderous intent just now."

It's scary that they dared to target him in broad daylight.

He couldn't help but ask, "I heard that there are a lot of strange stories and legends in schools like this. Could there be some in this forest as well?"

Liu An stroked his chin, thinking for a moment, his expression grave. Under Mo Ya's increasingly nervous gaze... he shook his head and smiled, "I haven't heard of it."

Mo Ya: I covered my chest with my hands, my heart pounding.

He glared at Liu An. "Can't you just speak faster?"

He was still undecided when he heard Liu An add calmly, "But people have died in this forest, quite a few. That's for sure."

Mo Ya: “…”

"why?"

Liu An looked at him with a rather surprised look, as if wondering why he didn't know the answer to this question: "Didn't your history teacher tell you that Rhine City was the main battlefield during the multinational war three thousand years ago?"

"After the incarnation of the God of Law disappeared, the seven strongest humans established the seven kingdoms of the time. Three thousand years ago, a chaotic war split them into the more than twenty kingdoms of today."

"The Dawn Empire is located in the continent's richest central plains, the epicenter of the conflict. Every sliver of land you walk on now is buried beneath at least a hundred corpses."

"..."

"But you don't have to worry about the ghosts of the dead taking revenge on you," Liu An said calmly, waving his hand. "Back in those days, the Magicians Association and the Magic Warriors Association didn't have such strict controls on heresy. The continent was full of necromancers who would pounce on any dead bodies they saw. It was a blessing if one or two managed to slip through the net."

If he could still run into Mo Ya like this, Liu An could only praise him as the chosen one.
