A bed that traverses countless worlds

Su Yao gently tugged at Lin Yu's sleeve, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

The complex emotions in her eyes did not dissipate after Lin Yu defeated the demonized bear king; instead, they intensified.

She watched Alice diligently examine Lin Yu's injuries, a hint of barely perceptible disappointment flashing in her eyes.

"I...I'm fine, it's really just a minor injury." Su Yao forced a smile despite the pain, but it looked worse than crying.

Lin Yu naturally noticed Su Yao's unusual behavior.

"Yao-mei, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?" he asked with concern, trying to get closer to her.

However, Su Yao subtly took a step back, avoiding Lin Yu's touch.

"No need, I'll just rest for a bit." She said coldly, turning and walking to the side, leaving Lin Yu alone, bewildered in the wind.

Lin Yu was completely bewildered, utterly clueless.

This plot isn't going in the right direction!

He just won by doing nothing, so why did he lose favor?

Is it a system loophole?

"Bro, did you mess this up?" Kong Yang leaned closer, grinning mischievously. "A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!"

"Get lost!" Lin Yu glared at him angrily. "What do you know!"

For the rest of the journey, Su Yao deliberately kept her distance from Lin Yu, as if some barrier stood between them.

Lin Yu tried to explain several times, but Su Yao skillfully avoided him each time.

This cold war-like state made Lin Yu feel extremely uneasy; he felt even more exhausted than when he fought the Demonized Bear King.

No, we must break this deadlock as soon as possible!

Lin Yu took a deep breath, quickly walked up to Su Yao, and blocked her way.

"Yao-mei, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Su Yao turned her head away, not looking at him. "There's no misunderstanding."

"Then why did you..."

"There's no reason why," Su Yao interrupted him. "I want to be alone."

"But……"

Su Yao suddenly raised her head, her eyes slightly red, "But what? What else do you want to explain? Explain your relationship with that elf princess?"

Lin Yu was stunned. What... what's going on here? He and Alice clearly had nothing going on!

"It's not what you think……"

"What do I think?" Su Yao's voice trembled slightly. "I saw her doting on you, and I..." She paused, her voice growing softer, "and I could only watch you helplessly..." Su Yao suddenly stopped, turned and ran away, leaving only the words, "Don't follow me!" Alice, being incredibly intelligent, immediately saw through the atmosphere of this chaotic scene.

She walked gracefully to Su Yao's side and said softly, "Miss Su Yao, I think you may have misunderstood. Lin Yu came here to save the entire forest. He only has this goal in mind and has no other thoughts." Alice recounted Lin Yu's hardships and determination along the way, emphasizing the efforts Lin Yu made to find the Tree of Life, even at the cost of his own life.

As Su Yao listened to Alice's story, the inexplicable flame of jealousy in her heart gradually died down.

It turns out he had been working tirelessly for something so important, and she had misunderstood him because of a minor emotional outburst...

Thinking of this, Su Yao felt a pang of guilt.

Seeing that Su Yao's expression had softened, Alice smiled slightly and continued, "Lin Yu cares about you a lot; he's been worried about your injuries." Alice's words were like a gentle spring breeze, nourishing Su Yao's parched heart.

Taking advantage of the relaxed atmosphere, Lin Yu quickly seized the opportunity, ran up to Su Yao, gazed deeply into her eyes, and said sincerely, "Sister Yao, my love for you is absolutely genuine! The sun and moon can bear witness, heaven and earth can testify. My love for you is like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks!"

Su Yao felt both touched and amused by Lin Yu's slightly exaggerated yet sincere confession.

She lowered her head shyly and said softly, "I understand... I believe you."

The warmth between the two was like the winter sun, melting away all the ice and snow.

Lin Yu was secretly delighted: Luckily, my charm is at its maximum, and I easily resolved the crisis!

He was just about to strike while the iron was hot, saying some sweet words to consolidate his gains, when he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.

"What's going on?" Lin Yu frowned.

"It sounds like... the sound is coming from the village..." Su Yao's expression also became serious.

A sense of foreboding rose in Lin Yu's heart. "Let's go take a look." He grabbed Su Yao's hand and ran towards the direction of the elven village...

"Wait for me!" Kong Yang called out breathlessly from behind.

As soon as Lin Yu and Su Yao approached the elven village, they saw a scene of chaos.

The attacks of the mutated creatures were as frenzied and chaotic as a game cartridge washing its ROM.

Although the elven warriors were brave, they were somewhat overwhelmed by the large number and fierce attacks of the demonized creatures.

For a time, the village's outer defenses were in grave danger.

Lin Yu clenched his fists, his fighting spirit instantly ignited.

He roared, and golden light shone from his body, as if a war god had descended.

He swung his longsword, instantly slaying several demonic creatures with such power that it shocked the surrounding crowd.

"Lin Yu, well done!" Kong Yang shouted as he swung his sword, "Let's hold this place together!"

Lin Yu nodded to Kong Yang, his eyes revealing determination.

He quickly organized the elven warriors, dividing them into several small teams, each responsible for a different defensive area.

The elven warriors, who were already impressed by Lin Yu's bravery, were now even more convinced of his abilities.

"Listen to my command, everyone! Concentrate your firepower and hold the line!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice filled with determination and authority.

The battle was extremely fierce, but Lin Yu's calmness and wisdom were like a rock, stabilizing everyone's hearts.

Under Lin Yu's leadership, the elven warriors gradually regained their footing and forced the demonized creatures back.

Ultimately, the demonized creatures' offensive was completely thwarted, and the elven village was saved.

Just then, the old tree man slowly emerged from the woods, his gaze gentle and profound.

Instead of testing Lin Yu as before, he spoke directly: "Lin Yu, you have proven your strength and determination. Now, I can tell you an important clue about the Tree of Life."

Lin Yu was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward. "Old Tree Man, please speak!"

The old tree spirit nodded and slowly said, "Deep in the dark forest of the north, there is a valley shrouded in demonic energy. There is a demonized fountain there. Only by eliminating the source can the Tree of Life truly revive."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes hardened. "Thank you for the guidance, Old Tree Man! Let's set off immediately!"

"Wait!" Su Yao said nervously from the side, "We need to be prepared, the danger there is definitely not small."

Lin Yu clenched his fist, a determined glint in his eyes.

"That's right, we still have a long way to go, but no matter how dangerous the road ahead may be, we will not stop."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu turned around and led everyone forward, striding firmly into the unknown future.
