Long Yuan When he opened his eyes, he was already empty. He didn't care. After sorting it out casually, his figure disappeared into the cave in a flash.
The early morning sun shines on Lake of Life, and the lake surface is sparkling Golden Light. Gu Yuena is standing by the lake, his long silver hair fluttering in the morning breeze, looking at the sun that is gradually rising in the distance.
"Getting up so early? It seems like you've really formed a habit." Long Yuan walked over.
Gu Yuena didn't look back. "Do you think everyone likes to sleep in as much as you do?"
Talking about this Gu Yuena makes me hate it. When she was at the Eastsea Academy, she often slept with Long Yuan. As a result, Long Yuan would shake her awake every morning, signal her to go to class, and then shrink back in again.
Over time, she developed the habit of getting up early.
Long Yuan stood next to her and followed her gaze to the east.
The morning sun peeked out from behind the treetops, dyeing the entire forest golden red. Birds were chirping in the distance, and occasionally a few deep animal roars were heard.
"I'm leaving." Gu Yuena said.
"Can't bear to part with it?"
Gu Yuena shook his head. "I'm just a little emotional, I always feel like Star Dou Forest's appearance flashed in front of me."
Long Yuan is silent.
Also, when Star Dou Forest was still in its heyday, the scene was probably much more spectacular than it is now.
It's a pity...
Di Tian's figure appeared on the edge of the lake, walking towards this side. He was holding a piece of turquoise crystal in his hand, which looked like both metal and gemstones.
It is the legendary Gold of Life.
Di Tian handed this piece of Gold of Life to Long Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "His Excellency Dragon God, my lord, I leave it to you."
Long Yuan glanced at him and nodded.
"Don't worry."
It seems that from the perspective of this veteran Dragon Clan, Gu Yuena is still worrying.
Di Tian said no more, took a step back and bowed slightly.
Gu Yuena glanced at Di Tian, turned around and walked out of the forest. Long Yuan followed, Yao Ling was already waiting in front.
The black Vortex appeared again, and the three of them stepped into it. The light flashed and disappeared into Star Dou Forest.
Shrek City, city gate.
The black Vortex dispersed, and Long Yuan and Gu Yuena appeared in a secluded place outside the city gate.
Yao Ling did not follow. He said that it was inconvenient for him to enter the human city and had disappeared outside Star Dou Forest.
The sun was shining brightly, and people were coming and going at the city gate. The shouts of vendors, the conversations of pedestrians, and the honking of the soul guide vehicles were mixed together, making it very lively.
Gu Yuena stood at the gate of the city, looking at the bustling city in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Long Yuan asked.
"Compared to such a busy place, I still prefer the quiet environment of Star Dou Forest." Gu Yuena retracted his gaze, "But I haven't been around the city for a long time."
Long Yuan smiled, "Then let's go shopping."
The two walked into the city gate and walked along the main street. The Shrek City street was wide and clean, with various shops on both sides. Some sold Soul Tool, some sold rare metals, some sold medicinal materials, and some sold various snacks. The air was filled with the smell of baking bread and barbecue, mixed with the freshness of flowers and vegetation.
Gu Yuena walked slowly, his eyes wandering between the shops on both sides.
Long Yuan followed her and did not rush her.
When passing by a small store selling jewelry, Gu Yuena stopped. There were all kinds of jewelry in the window, including silver hairpins, crystal earrings, and pearl bracelets.
Those jewelry sparkled in the sun and were very delicate.
"Go in and have a look?" Long Yuan asked.
Gu Yuena shook his head and continued walking forward.
Long Yuan took a look at the store and noted the location.
The two walked for a while, and Gu Yuena stopped in front of a stall selling candied haws. The red hawthorns were wrapped in crystal sugar and glowed attractively in the sun.
"Want to eat?" Long Yuan asked.
Gu Yuena said nothing, but stared at the candied haws without moving.
"How old are you, and you still want to eat this..."
Long Yuan walked over, bought a bunch of money, and handed it to Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena took it and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste melted in her mouth. Her eyes narrowed slightly, like a satisfied cat.
Long Yuan looked at her, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Is it delicious?"
Gu Yuena nodded and continued eating.
The two of them continued walking forward. Gu Yuena finished eating the candied haws and threw the bamboo sticks into the trash can on the roadside. Long Yuan bought another roasted sweet potato from the stall next to it and handed it to her.
Gu Yuena took it and peeled it off. The golden potato flesh was steaming. She took a bite and took a breath, but with a smile on her face.
At noon, the two of them had dinner in a small restaurant.
The restaurant is not big, but it is clean and tidy. There are several landscape paintings hanging on the walls and several pots of green plants in the corners. The proprietress is a woman in her forties with a pleasant smile. When she saw the two people coming in, she hurriedly greeted them.
"What do you two want to eat? Our signature dishes are braised fish and sweet and sour pork ribs, all freshly made."
Long Yuan looked at Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena said, "Braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, plus a green vegetable and a bowl of rice."
The landlady wrote it down and turned around and entered the kitchen.
Long Yuan poured her a cup of tea. "You know how to order it."
Gu Yuena picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "I eat it often at Eastsea City."
The dishes came out quickly and were steaming hot. The braised fish was bright red in color, the sweet and sour pork ribs were sour and sweet, and the green vegetables were green and refreshing. Gu Yuena didn't eat much, but he tasted a few bites of each.
Long Yuan doesn't eat much, he spends most of his time watching Gu Yuena eat.
"Why don't you eat?" Gu Yuena asked.
"I'm not hungry."
Gu Yuena glanced at him and said nothing.
After eating, the two walked out of the restaurant. The sun was shining brightly and there were fewer people on the street. Gu Yuena looked up at the sky and said, "Where are you going?"
Long Yuan thought for a while, "Where do you want to go?"
Gu Yuena shook his head.
Long Yuan said, "Then just walk around."
The two of them walked aimlessly in the city all afternoon.
When passing by a flower shop, Long Yuan bought a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena took it and looked at him angrily, but instead of throwing it away, he held it tightly in his hand.
In the evening, as the sun set, the two of them walked to the door of the Shrek Academy.
Tall courtyard wall, simple gate, two students in school uniforms stood at the door, standing upright, looking at the passers-by with vigilant eyes. Through the gate, you can see the lush trees and scattered buildings inside. Golden Ancient Tree in the distance glows with golden light in the sunset, and the entire college is enveloped in a warm halo.
Gu Yuena stopped and looked at the ancient tree.
"Golden Ancient Tree." She said, "It is indeed the source of life for Douluo Planet. Even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel the strong vitality inside."
The two stood at the door and watched for a while, then turned and left.
Just as the two of them were looking at Golden Ancient Tree in the distance, a group of people were sitting together inside Golden Ancient Tree.
If I remember correctly, this seems to be the cover of a physical book.
