ꨡ[6Ba~oA~6: Chapter 0746: Story Chapter 746: Chapter 0746: Story “The true form of Shewinado…

has been hidden, I can’t find His location…”

“But…

He likewise cannot find me, after all this is still a neutral world, it’s not anyone’s God’s Domain, and His rank is only ‘7’…”

“Only, He is hiding well, I can’t reveal myself first.”

Su Lu discreetly concealed the radiance around him, landing at the edge of a forest.

Once, this place was an inexhaustible treasure for the nearby farmers, but now, it only brought fear.

The branching limbs of the trees were like severed limbs, sprouted grotesquely in all directions…

Not sweet and juicy fruits, but bizarre, gruesome objects hung on the trees.

For example…

...

bloodshot eyeballs, some still dripping with blood.

The atmosphere of the entire forest suddenly seemed morbidly curious.

Su Lu concealed all his aura, stepping over murderous black grass, as if an ordinary farmer and arrived in front of a fruit tree.

This fruit tree had three distorted tree holes on the trunk, creating a face pattern of screaming in terror.

Thwack!

Su Lu reached out directly and plucked a string of eyeballs, and casually crushed one.

“Hmm…

it smells like grapes, the texture may not be bad, except that it can drive the eater insane, there doesn’t seem to be any side effects…”

He nodded approvingly.

At this point, the fruit tree finally seemed to react, letting out a high-pitched scream like a woman.

“If you want to take…

my fruits…

you must…

answer my…

question!”

From the distorted trunk came the voice of the tree: “What animal…

has eight legs in the morning, four…

at noon, and changes into two…

by night?”

“Get lost!”

Su Lu’s expression turned cold: “Asking this kind of question, you simply are not sincere.”

He turned around and left.

“Despicable thief!”

Behind him, the fruit tree was spectacularly angry.

All its branches were moving, like agile arms, sweeping at Su Lu.

Of course, in the end, they could only helplessly rake the ground and soil.

“Hmm…

it seems to have some range restrictions, its roots cannot leave the soil…

Otherwise, forest migration?

Then there would be no place for humans in the world.”

Su Lu discerned the direction and headed toward a village.

…

“Once upon a long, long time ago…

”

On the haystack of the threshing floor, there sat a pipe-smoking old man.

At his side, gathered a group of naïve young boys and girls.

There were boys and girls, with radiant eyes, the only commonality being that they all looked somewhat pale and thin, with a touch of longing in their eyes.

The white-bearded old man took a puff from his pipe and began the story: “Back then, the crops that grew in the land were enough to pile up the entire warehouse, the forest was full of sweet fruits and mushrooms, the dwarfs and elves were always hospitable…

They lived in mushrooms as big as a house.”

“Grandpa Edison…”

A little boy raised his hand and said, “But now, mom and dad say that the forest is forbidden, there are scary man-eating monsters inside…”

“Cough, cough…

Don’t you want to hear my story anymore?”

Edison slowly exhaled a smoke ring, immediately making the children close their mouths.

“We are at the very core of the Stanry Continent…

The birthplace of many fairy tales…

When I was young, I once heard a minstrel, who had not yet gone mad, singing about the story of the pea…

The protagonist of the story was the son of a farmer on the plains, he was young and handsome, his family was poor, one day, he went to the forest to chop wood and encountered a Little Fairy…

”

“The Little Fairy was injured, with one of her wings broken, she hid behind a flower bud, crying.”

“The farmer’s son asked: ‘Little beauty, is there anything I can help you with?’ The Little Fairy felt his kindness, timidly came out from behind the flower, and said: ‘I lost a wing and can no longer fly.’

“The farmer’s son was clever, he quickly figured out a method, using green leaves and flower petals, he made a new wing for the Little Fairy, who flew joyfully around him: ‘Kind man, thank you for your help, please accept my gratitude.’ She flew into the flowers, and not long after, emerged with a pea seed as large as her head…

Once planted, your wish will come true.”

“The farmer’s son took the pea seed home and planted it in the fence, watering it every day with spring water…

Soon enough, the pea sprouted, the vine grew and grew, stretching all the way to the sky…”

“The sky?” “What’s in the sky?” The children could not wait to ask.

Edison paused for a moment, until a little girl came forward, rubbing his shoulder, to contentedly continue his story: “Inside the pea is the Little Fairy’s magic, it can fulfill a person’s wish, it is said that one person has gained endless riches from heaven, but that’s not our story…

The farmer’s son climbed the vine, continuing up and up, he climbed into the clouds, reaching the top of the vine, where he saw a castle!”

“That castle was very high, still some distance from the top of the vine.”

“Inside the castle, lived a beautiful princess.

She had a wise Lion Teacher, and a disagreeable Frog Nanny…

That day, the princess, alone, happened to look out her window and saw the farmer’s son.”

“The farmer’s son shouted, ‘Please help me, beautiful lady.’

“The princess covered her eyes: ‘Frog Nanny said…

All men who look like you are bad.”

“The farmer’s son quickly replied: ‘By the Little Fairy’s name, I’m not a bad person.’ He told her about how he had helped the Little Fairy.”

“At that moment, the princess thought of her wise Lion Teacher, as he was very good friends with the Little Elves, so she let down the ladder, allowing the farmer’s son to climb the last part.”

“They fell in love, and with the help of the wise Lion, they left the castle in the sky and returned to the ground, where they lived happily ever after.”

…

“It feels a bit abrupt, why did they fall in love as soon as they met?

It’s too rushed, isn’t it?”

An unfamiliar voice interjected.

Edison looked up to see a young foreigner standing nearby, apparently he had been listening for a long time.

“Who knows…

It’s just a fairy tale after all, perhaps the minstrel those years ago simply forgot the last part…”

Edison tapped his pipe, staring at Su Lu: “It’s rare to see a foreigner like you nowadays.”

In the past, the village had plenty of food, and they were fairly hospitable to outsiders.

But now, the situation was completely different, no one could demand someone to give food to a stranger when they themselves were going hungry.

Moreover, there was also the example of the mad minstrel.

A hint of vigilance flashed in Edison’s eyes.
