The next day, Stone Village remained as simple and natural as ever.
A willow could be seen rooted at the village entrance. Its thick trunk was charred black, as though struck by lightning, but now its old bark was peeling away, revealing renewed vitality.
"Oh, Willow Mom has recovered quite a bit again. She's grown over a dozen willow branches now," Lin Fan said as he slowly walked toward the village.
Even Qingyi was astonished. She had never been able to fathom this willow, and now she understood even less. It was mysterious beyond measure, like a god who had split heaven and earth apart.
The glimmering willow branches radiated a gentle glow. Though peaceful, they resembled one Order Divine Chain after another, piercing through eternity-a breathtaking sight!
"Grandpa Clan Chief, Brother Xiao Fan is here, and he brought a fat girl!" a child shouted, his voice echoing through the village.
At those words, Qingyi's pretty face instantly darkened. What was wrong with these brats' eyes? Where was she fat? She was perfectly slender!
"Pfft... I can't take it! You're killing me! A fat girl! Hahaha..." Beside her, Lin Fan could not stop laughing, rocking back and forth.
"What are you laughing at?!" Qingyi fumed, dark lines covering her luminous forehead. Her slender, jade-like hands pinched Lin Fan's waist hard.
Just then, Shi Yunfeng emerged from a stone house and glanced toward the village entrance.
He saw a man and woman approaching together, both dressed in white. The man was handsome, the woman stunningly beautiful. They looked like an immortal couple, both possessing extraordinary grace, untouched by the smoke and dust of the mortal world.
At that moment, Shi Yunfeng slapped the brat on the head and barked, "What nonsense are you spouting? That isn't fat. She's a beautiful fairy!"
