"System, can we, System Space, bring this Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree back safely, complete with mud and soil?"

The system was silent for a moment, seemingly digesting the request.

"... There are quite a few bad ideas."

Luo Heng's mouth twitched.

What is a bad idea? Is it called making the best use of everything?

"However," the system changed the topic, "It can be like this."

Luo Heng's eyes lit up.

"System Space can contain living creatures, but two conditions need to be met. First, the target must be in a stationary state without any resistance; second, a certain amount of energy needs to be consumed to maintain its vitality after being contained, which consumes approximately the energy of one thousand Nirvana Pill every day."

Luo Heng did a quick calculation in his mind.

One thousand Nirvana Pill every day is just a drop in the bucket to him.

As for the first condition, after the fruit of Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree matures and falls off, the tree itself will enter a short dormant period, and it is the right time to harvest it.

"Deal." Luo Heng made the decision in his heart.

In this way, the entire Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree Sapling can be brought back, plus the seeds...

That's two!

Luo Heng was in a great mood and could not suppress the smile on his lips.

Ying Huanhuan Seeing that he suddenly smiled so brightly, he glanced at him suspiciously and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Luo Heng put away his smile and said seriously, "I was just thinking about how to spend these five days."

"How's it going? Of course I'm staying here." Ying Huanhuan said matter-of-factly.

"Just doing this for five days?" Luo Heng raised his eyebrows and continued, "Don't you feel bored?"

Ying Huanhuan thought about it and felt a little bored, but she still said stubbornly, "What else? You can't just leave Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree here, right?"

Luo Heng smiled and did not answer.

His eyes swept over the people present, and he already had a calculation in his mind.

"Jiang Kun, Yuan Ling."

"Here!" the two of them responded quickly.

"You two, go and stand guard outside, pay attention to the movements around you, and report any disturbance immediately."

Jiang Kun and Yuan Ling looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said, "Yes, Chief Senior Brother!"

The two of them moved towards the outskirts of the forest.

Luo Heng looked at Yuan Fang again and said, "Junior sister Yuan Fang, go back to Mine Vein and prepare some things for accommodation. We may have to stay here for the next five days."

Yuan Fang nodded and said, "Understood, I will make arrangements right away."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

In the blink of an eye, only two people, Luo Heng and Ying Huanhuan, were left in the same place.

Ying Huanhuan blinked and suddenly felt that something was not quite right in the atmosphere.

This guy... took everyone away, what did he want to do?

She looked at Luo Heng warily and said, "You... why are you driving everyone away?"

Luo Heng looked innocent and said, "Kick them away? No, I asked them to do business. Jiang Kun and Yuan Ling went to guard, and Yuan Fang went to prepare things for accommodation. Isn't this normal?"

Ying Huanhuan thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, but she always felt that something was not right.

"What about you? What do you do?" Ying Huanhuan asked.

"Me?" Luo Heng smiled and said, "Of course I will stay here and watch Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree. If something breaks in, I can easily deal with it."

Ying Huanhuan curled his lips and said, "I can guard it too."

"That's different." Luo Heng shook his head.

"What's the difference?"

"How can it be the same if you guard and I guard?" Luo Heng said seriously, and continued, "You are a girl, what if you encounter danger? Of course I will do this kind of rough and tiring work."

Ying Huanhuan was stunned by what he said, and her heart beat inexplicably a few beats faster, but she quickly reacted and hummed. "Don't look down on others! I am also Heavenly Hall Direct Disciple, Peak Seven Yuan Nirvana Realm's strength, how can I be in danger so easily?"

"Yes, yes, junior sister Huanhuan is the most powerful." Luo Heng said with a smile.

Ying Huanhuan looked at his perfunctory look and became so angry that he raised his foot and stepped on him.

Luo Heng moved his feet, avoided it lightly, and grabbed her wrist.

It's that position again.

The wrist of Ying Huanhuan is slender and smooth, and Luo Heng can be easily held with one hand.

"You--!" Ying Huanhuan's face turned red again.

"Junior sister Huanhuan." Luo Heng suddenly said seriously.

Ying Huanhuan was stunned by his sudden serious tone and subconsciously said, "What?"

"We may have to stay here for a long time in these five days." Luo Heng looked at her with gentle eyes and continued, "Don't you think we should find something to do?"

Ying Huanhuan blinked and said, "What are you looking for?"

Luo Heng raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "For example... play a song for me?"

Ying Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he said, "You... is this why you left me here?"

"What if?"

Luo Heng said matter-of-factly, "Do you think I will do something to you?"

Ying Huanhuan's face turned redder, not sure whether he was angry or ashamed.

"You're dreaming!" She shook off Luo Heng's hand, turned away, and said, "I don't want to play for you!"

Luo Heng was not in a hurry, and said slowly and authentically, "Five days, just waiting like this, how boring, you play the piano, and I listen to the music, how nice it is."

"Play it yourself!" Ying Huanhuan hummed.

"I can't." Luo Heng spread his hands.

"I don't know how to study!"

"Then you teach me?"

"I won't teach you!"

"Then you play it for me."

"Don't play!"

"Play it."

"Don't play!"

"Let's play one."

"No bomb, no bomb, no bomb!"

Luo Heng looked at Ying Huanhuan's stubborn look and suddenly sighed and said, "Well, since Junior Sister Huanhuan doesn't want to, then forget it."

Ying Huanhuan was stunned.

This guy... just gave up?

She thought he would continue to pester her.

Luo Heng walked to a red rock, sat down casually, looked up at the Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree tree, and stopped talking.

The forest became quiet.

There was only the rustling of the leaves in the wind and the occasional chirping of birds in the distance.

Ying Huanhuan stood there, looking at Luo Heng's back, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

This guy... why doesn't he play his cards right?

She bit her lip, hesitated, then walked over and sat down next to him.

"Hey." She called softly.

"Huh?" Luo Heng looked sideways at her.

"You... you really want to hear it?"

Luo Heng's eyes lit up, but his face remained calm as he said, "Of course I want to hear it, but since you don't want to, forget it, I won't force you."

Ying Huanhuan Looking at his "I'm very considerate" look, I suddenly felt the urge to hit him.

This guy obviously really wants to hear it, but he still pretends to be indifferent.

"Then I'll play one." Ying Huanhuan turned away and murmured in a low voice, "Just one."

"Okay." Luo Heng smiled.

That smile was very clean, like sunshine, and made Ying Huanhuan's heartbeat speed up by half a beat.

Ying Huanhuan took a deep breath and took out a guzheng piece from Spatial Pouch.

The guzheng is emerald green and transparent, like the finest jade, with a warm and aura of light. The body of the guzheng is carved with exquisite patterns, with faint Primal Energy fluctuations. It is obviously a high-grade ingot.

This is her Spirit Treasure Jadeite Guzheng, Heaven Tier Spirit Treasure.

She placed the guzheng on her knees and gently brushed the strings with her slender jade fingers.

"What do you want to hear?" she asked.

"Whatever, I will listen to whatever you play." Luo Heng said.

Ying Huanhuan thought for a moment and gently plucked the strings with his fingertips.

Ding dong--

The crisp sound of the piano sounded like a clear spring flowing in a mountain stream, or like a spring breeze blowing willow branches, echoing in the silent forest.

It was a piece of music composed by Ying Huanhuan himself. It had no name and no profound artistic conception. It was just simply pleasant to listen to.

The melody is lively and lively, as if it is telling the girl's thoughts and depicting the scenery of spring.

Luo Heng Close your eyes and listen quietly.

His Spiritual Power slowly spread, taking in all the surrounding movements, but most of his attention was focused on the melodious sound of the piano.

I have to admit that Ying Huanhuan plays the guzheng really well.

Not only is her technique good, but more importantly, her music has a sincere emotion that can touch people's hearts.

The song ended, and the lingering sound lingered.

Ying Huanhuan took back his jade hand and glanced at Luo Heng secretly.

Luo Heng still had his eyes closed, seeming to be immersed in the sound of the piano.

"Hey, we're done playing." Ying Huanhuan reminded in a low voice.

Luo Heng opened his eyes, looked at her, and said seriously, "It sounds good."

Ying Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then turned away and said, "Humph, of course, the music played by this girl is of course good."

But the base of her ears quietly turned red.

Luo Heng looked at her side face, the moonlight shone on her body through the gaps in the leaves, coating her with a silver-white halo.

The black ponytail hangs down from her waist, swaying gently in the breeze.

That pure and moving side face looked particularly soft and beautiful in the moonlight.

"Huanhuan." Luo Heng suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Ying Huanhuan turned his head subconsciously.

Their eyes met in the moonlight.

Luo Heng looked at her with a hint of tenderness in his eyes and said, "If you have a chance in the future, can you play it for me again?"

Ying Huanhuan saw him and his heart beat faster. He quickly turned his head and said, "It depends on your mood."

Luo Heng smiled.

"Then it's settled."

Ying Huanhuan said angrily, "Who made the final decision for you! I said it depends on your mood!"

Luo Heng nodded in agreement and said, "Well, it depends on your mood. I think your mood is quite good."

"You--!"
