Chapter 289

"Squeak—!"

Above Luo Mio's head, a Spider-type Gastrea with camouflage abilities similar to a lizard let out a scream.

Then the golden electricity transformed into golden blades of light that erupted from the Spider-type Gastrea's body.

Before the screams could even escape, the massive body of the Spider-type Gastrea turned to dust and slowly floated into the sky on the gentle breeze.

Luo Mio raised her head and frowned slightly.

Why are there so many Gastrea around the "Divine Residence"?

Looking ahead, Luo Mio seemed to see something and paused slightly in surprise.

That is...

Then Luo Mio started walking forward.

However, after walking for a short while, Luo Mio stopped in front of a relatively open grassy area.

"..."

Is this a megalith...?

In front of Luo Mio stood a black stone tablet, about two or three meters tall and slightly shorter than the surrounding trees.

Looking at the giant stone tablet, Luo Mio's eyes also looked elsewhere.

About fifty meters to Luo Mio's right, there was a stone tablet, about two or three meters tall, standing there.

Then Luo Mio looked to her left, where a black stone tablet stood about fifty meters away.

Luo Mio walked past the black stone tablet toward the foot of the mountain.

Before long, Luo Mio arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Luo Mio reached out her hand.

Then an invisible membrane appeared and blocked his way.

"We already have Protective Shield, why do we still want to build a giant stone monument outside? What is Mom thinking?"

Luo Mio muttered a complaint under her breath.

Then a purple hue appeared in Luo Mio's eyes, and the next moment a human-shaped gap appeared in the thin membrane barrier in front of Luo Mio.

After Luo Mio went inside, the gap in the membrane closed again.

Luo Mio walked around the foot of the mountain and headed towards the back of the mountain.

Luo Mio looked up at the scenery before her and couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect that this place would remain unchanged after all these years."

All I could see was above Luo Mio.

The lush trees exuded a strong Life Aura, appearing exceptionally vibrant under the silvery moonlight.

A small waterfall flows gently down from the mountainside into a small pool at the foot of the mountain.

There is a small gap in one corner of the pond, through which clear, transparent water flows slowly into the small lake next to it.

In Luo Mio's view, there were several buildings on the shore of the small lake that looked like ancient wooden houses.

Around the lake, there are fir trees, larch trees, horse chestnut trees, ginkgo trees, pine trees... They are all different tree species with different living conditions and environments... but this doesn't seem to apply here.

You can see all kinds of trees and even small animals in the forest.

On the hill behind the wooden house, there is a very conspicuous building.

Shrine!

And next to the shrine you can see a very huge Sacred Tree!

Looking at the surrounding scenery, which is like a fairyland, it is hard to believe that in such a Broken World, there is such a Beautiful Utopia.

Luo Mio strolled slowly along the lakeside, looking at the familiar scenery around her.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

A giant python, about three or four meters long and entirely emerald blue, slowly emerged from the bushes and came to Luo Mio's feet.

Upon seeing the Green Python, Luo Mio squatted down and chuckled as she looked at the giant blue python in front of her.

"I never imagined you'd grow up so big."

The Green Python gently rubbed against Luo Mio's calf, then raised its head and flicked its tongue at Luo Mio's cheek.

Luo Mio patted its head, looked at its slightly bloated hindquarters, and said softly to it.

"Go back quickly, you're not in the right state to come out right now."

As if in response to Luo Mio, the Green Python flicked its tongue slightly, then turned and returned to the forest.

Standing up, watching the Green Python's departing figure, Luo Mio turned around and walked towards the lake.

Luo Mio looked at the small lake reflecting the silver moon, then at the small wooden boat placed to the side, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Then, Luo Mio pushed the small wooden boat to the middle of the lake. With a flick of her eyes, Luo Mio appeared on the boat in the next moment. Then, Luo Mio took out a sleeping chair, a warm cotton-padded jacket, and a pillow from the Void Fissures.

Lying down and enjoying the gentle breeze on her cheeks, Luo Mio slowly closed her eyes.

Breathing in the comforting air after a long time, my consciousness gradually drifted into sleep.

——

In the early morning, before the daylight had fully broken and the night had completely faded from the horizon.

The lights were already on in a small wooden house on the shore. As one of the guards of the Second Generation Holy Child, Kajita has never forgotten his daily routine even in his old age.

Perhaps it was ingrained in his bones, but every day at this time, Kajita would wake up early to check the safety of the area around the Divine Residence "Divine Residence.

Although the safety of the "Divine Residence" has been handed over to his son to guard, he will still fulfill the mission he once served as a protector.

Kajita, with his aging legs, walked along the lake shore carrying a street lamp. At that moment, his slightly cloudy eyes looked at a small wooden boat floating in the middle of the lake.

He frowned and muttered a curse under his breath.

"That brat, didn't I tell him to tie the rope properly?"

The morning sun slowly appeared on the horizon, and a ray of sunlight quietly shone on the lake.

"Um?"

At that moment, Kajita's slightly cloudy eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

He vaguely saw someone sleeping on a small wooden boat in the middle of the lake.

But his eyesight, already failing due to old age, made it impossible for him to see whether there were people on the small wooden boat.

Illusion...?

Kajita looked again at the small wooden boat floating on the lake.

For some reason, he was convinced that he had just seen someone sleeping on the small wooden boat.

Having no other choice, Kajita hurried home, only to find his son already awake.

"Dad, I've told you so many times, since your health isn't good enough, don't get up so early. I'm here to guard the area around 'Divine Residence'."

Upon meeting, her son said to her helplessly.

"Bullshit! Your old man is still in great health."

"... I told my mom I wanted it."

"Alright, alright, alright, stop being so cheeky."

Kajita immediately interrupted his son's banter, saying hastily, "Hurry up and bring me the binoculars."

After saying that, he walked out of the house.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Kajita's son was also taken aback.

"Why are you using binoculars..."

Although puzzled, there must be a reason why his father spoke like that.

After picking up the binoculars, Kajita's son came out and saw his father standing by the lake.

"Dad, why do you want me to bring out the binoculars?"

His father didn't say anything, but pointed to the middle of the lake.

Following the direction Kajita pointed, Kajita's son was also stunned.

"Huh? I made sure I tied it up yesterday."

Kajita's son raised the binoculars and looked over with a puzzled expression.

But when he saw it, he was immediately stunned.

"..."

"Why is someone sleeping up there?"

A very distinct figure was sleeping on the small wooden boat.

Meanwhile, the sun, radiating sunlight, had slowly risen into the sky.

"What kind of child is so insensible that they would do something so dangerous?"

Kajita frowned upon hearing his son's words.

"... Huh?"

At that moment, Kajita heard his son make a soft, hesitant sound.

He turned his head and looked over there.

The son slowly lowered the binoculars, staring blankly at the small boat in the center of the lake.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah... no, wait a minute."

As if to confirm something, he picked up the binoculars again and looked at the small wooden boat.

"Your Highness Divine Child...?"

Upon hearing his son's words, Kajita was immediately stunned.

"What did you say?!"

Kajita immediately snatched the binoculars and looked at the lake.

Kajita was stunned when he saw the familiar face of Luo Mio sleeping on the small wooden boat on the lake.

"It really is His Your Highness Divine Child..."

After saying that, Kajita put down his binoculars, and was about to shout that it was dangerous to sleep on the surface of Lake Luo Mio when his son stopped him.

"Let His Your Highness Divine Child get a good night's sleep."

Upon hearing his son say this, Kajita also looked at the small wooden boat floating quietly on the lake.

"I'm going to the shrine to report to the second generation. I'll leave the care of His Your Highness Divine Child to you, Father."

After saying that, his son ran towards the shrine.

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, his boss came out and came to his side to ask him.

"..."

"His Your Highness Divine Child has returned."

——

"It's drifting over..."

"Huh? It really floated over here."

Luo Mio, who was immersed in her dream, heard several very young and unfamiliar voices.

Luo Mio slowly opened his eyes, and a blinding light shone into them.
