Chapter 53 Wa Junior is here!
Chapter 53 Wa Junior is here!
The next second, green light burst forth in the Sacred Tree Forest!
Chu Sheng felt a strange coolness all over his body. The sound of countless leaves rustling in his ears rang out. The wind swept through the forest, moonlight fell into the spring, and the roots underground stirred the soil.
He saw a tree so huge it defied description.
The tree roots penetrate deep into the earth, and the canopy supports the entire starry sky.
Chu Sheng suddenly came to his senses, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.
"Chu Sheng," Amber called softly, wrapping her arms around his waist and gently pulling him toward her.
Chu Sheng felt as if two enormous mountains were placed directly on his shoulders, while his head was buried deep in the narrow valley, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Amber lowered her head and gently rested her chin on the top of his head. Chu Sheng could feel the rise and fall of her breathing and her slow heartbeat.
"Relax...close your eyes." Amber whispered softly, like a mother coaxing her child to sleep. Chu Sheng felt his whole body filled with soft warmth, and the holy light within him was gradually transforming into an unknown power.
Chu Sheng closed his eyes, as if he had returned to the warm and reassuring palace before he was born.
Amber smiled gently, adjusted her position slightly, and picked him up in her arms, making his head more comfortable to rest on, while gently patting his back with one hand.
After a while, Amber released his hand and put him down. Chu Sheng slowly opened his eyes. His body was empty of holy light, but he did not feel any discomfort or emptiness. It was as if he had just had a warm dream.
Just then, Amber's aura changed; the paleness on her face quickly faded, and a turquoise-gold light gradually shone in her eyes.
The ground shook!
Outside the Queen's palace, the tree roots suddenly swelled. The thick root system twisted and rose up, sending the white-clad elf at the front row flying.
A giant tree emerged from the side of the Queen's palace, growing taller and taller until it stretched across the sky like a bridge, leading directly to the forest southwest of the royal court.
Amber pointed to the wooden bridge: "Take this road."
Estelle's expression finally changed: "Ambermind!"
Ambowen didn't look at her, but said to Chu Sheng and the others, "Go to the Gray Domain. Don't take the main road, follow this tree bridge to leave the Royal Court."
Arthur frowned and asked, "And you?"
Amber turned around, her gaze falling on Chu Sheng, her eyes softening.
"Now, I have magic."
She raised her hand, and the roots of the sacred tree spiraled up behind her, like a giant throne.
As Amber finished speaking, Chu Sheng's chest suddenly felt hot. The strategy manual had actually come up with at this moment!
But now was not the time to look at the rewards. He gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the surge of heat, and turned to shout at the others, "You guys retreat first! Go to the Gray Zone!"
Ella immediately hoisted Silverleaf onto her shoulder, catching Silverleaf off guard: "I can walk!"
Audrey whistled, and the cat-man assassins quickly scattered to protect both sides of the long bridge.
Arthur gave Amber one last look, and Amber smiled and said, "Miss Arthur, rest assured, I will return your squire knight to you intact."
Arthur said expressionlessly, "He's yours now too."
Amber thought for a moment and said, "Then I will return our squire knights to you intact."
Audrey glanced at the dense swarm of white-dressed elves outside the tree roots: "Nightclaw, clear the way."
The black leopard cat-man fell from the beam, sheathed his twin swords, and bowed to her: "Your Majesty, the carriage cannot pass."
"We don't need the carriage," Audrey said decisively.
Ella exclaimed "Ah!" and turned to look at the carriage parked in the distance, her dog ears drooping: "But my grilled fish is still in the carriage!"
Chu Sheng patted her shoulder: "We can always get another grilled fish, but where am I supposed to find another dog that wags its tail like this if you're gone?"
Ella immediately perked up and wagged her tail.
Arthur gave Chu Sheng a deep look, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards Yinye and Ella.
Audrey had already led the cat people to open a small path on the southwest side, and Arthur no longer hesitated. With a wave of his holy sword, he directly used holy light to clear the way.
Ella, carrying Silver Leaf on her back, turned and glanced at Chu Sheng: "Chu Sheng, you have to come back."
"Okay, okay." Chu Sheng waved his hand. "Let's go, if you keep getting sentimental, I'm really going to run away."
Ella turned around and rushed onto the tree bridge on all fours.
Audrey walked last, pausing as she passed Chu Sheng: "You're not allowed to die."
Chu Sheng raised an eyebrow. Although Audrey's favorability rating was already maxed out, he couldn't see any difference between her and before: "She's guaranteed to live."
Audrey looked at him coldly: "When you die, I'll carve your name on the door of every public restroom in Cat Territory."
Chu Sheng was filled with respect: "So, we don't need to carve the women's restroom, do we?"
Audrey snorted, flicked her cloak, and turned to disappear into the night.
After everyone disappeared behind the tree bridge, Amber raised her hand, and the trees throughout the royal court seemed to hear the summons, forming barriers.
Seeing that An Bowen seemed to still have energy, Chu Sheng lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go to the palace to take a look."
Amber turned her head: "What are you looking at?"
"Let's see if any elves have slipped through the net, just in case they manage to flank us from the inside."
Amber looked at him quietly, and Chu Sheng felt a little uneasy under her gaze. He blurted out, "Don't look at me like that. I really didn't go to your room to find underwear... wait!"
A smile appeared in Amber's eyes: "I didn't think that way. Of course, it's your business if you want to look for it. I put it on the third shelf of the bedside table."
"I……"
"Go." Amber looked back at the elven tide outside the royal court. "Don't stay too long."
Chu Sheng knew this wasn't the time for banter, so he didn't explain further and slipped into the dilapidated palace.
The palace was in a mess, and he didn't bother to find a secluded place, so he put his hand directly into his chest.
The strategy guide was so eager that it felt like a hot iron when he pulled it out.
The pages flipped rapidly, finally stopping at the last few pages, just a hair's breadth from Arthur's page.
The Elf Royal Family is indeed a hidden force!
The question marks on the illustration faded away little by little, revealing a glittering gold.
"Hidden level 003 [Elven Royal Family], Ancient Spirit species, collected, progress 75%"
"Halfway through the campaign, you will receive a reward: a hidden skill called 'Wa's here!', which can be used once a day. Each time you call out 'Mom' to the target and receive a positive response, your physical condition will be restored to its peak."
Chu Sheng fell silent. He closed the book, then opened it again.
Wa, my junior, is here!
Close it again, then open it again.
Wa, my junior, is here!
"Damn it," Chu Sheng cursed, "Can't you give me some skills that have a bit of class?"
Calling your target "Mom" and expecting a positive response is required, but what constitutes a positive response?
"Hmm?" Does that count?
"Good boy/girl." That definitely counts.
"Get out!" definitely doesn't count.
He quickly calmed down and his physical condition returned to its peak. This ability was the key!
Does the so-called physical condition include the holy light within the body?
The holy light within Chu Sheng wasn't something he cultivated himself, but if this skill could restore him to his full holy light state, that would mean...
Amber has a second power bank!
