Now the situation is perfectly clear.
In Greenleaf Village, after Ye Chui and Debbie entered the door sixty-three years into the future, the wolf bandits launched an attack. The iPad boy resisted the wolf bandits and, in the process, pushed Viya through the door sixty-three years into the past. At this moment, the Elf Queen’s nirvana was completely fulfilled, and the time magic shattered. But because the wolf bandits were truly terrifying, the time vortex could not completely annihilate them either, so their existence caused a fragment of time to flow down. That time fragment was like a secret realm, and the iPad boy was now just like a stopper at the entrance to the time fragment, sealing them away.
Because Ye Chui and Debbie interfered with the time loop in Greenleaf Village at a point sixty-three years prior, the iPad boy, like Viya, entered sixty-three years before and also sealed the wolf bandits for sixty-three years. This time fragment turned into wolf mist, which would occasionally manifest near Greenleaf Village. Old Harley said that the wolf mist was formed from the spirits of giant wolves, and this explanation was not entirely wrong.
The reason why the iPad separated from Ye Chui’s body and took human form was mainly because, during the era of the War of the Gods, under the constraints of the rules, there was no such thing as a magic guidebook at all. But now that they had returned to the normal timeline, the rules of the magic guidebook had long since formed, so the iPad could return to Ye Chui’s body.
However, the current iPad boy still needed to seal the wolf bandits.
The wolf bandits were no longer as ferocious as they once were. Most of them had been annihilated in the time vortex, but a portion still remained. Even this small portion was still extremely terrifying, probably beyond what Ye Chui and his group could handle at present.
“Because the time fragment is connected to the area around Greenleaf Village, I cannot leave here. Over these years, quite a few people have accidentally entered the wolf mist. I have also deliberately lured some powerful swordsmen, magic mentors, and summoners into the wolf mist, hoping to kill the giant wolves. Unfortunately, those evil fellows are truly too terrifying. Everyone who enters the wolf mist is killed without exception.”
The iPad boy explained, “If you release them, they will treat any living creature as a hunting target. Master, are you sure you want to release them?”
Ye Chui was slightly stunned, not because of the terror of the wolf bandits, but because of the word “master” that the iPad boy had called him.
Debbie sidled up to Ye Chui and whispered, “What do we do?”
“These wolf bandits will attack any living creature indiscriminately, without regard for right or wrong?” Ye Chui’s eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a somewhat wicked expression.
Debbie, having been with Ye Chui for so long, instantly understood what he meant. A somewhat wicked expression appeared on her small face as well, “Heh heh heh?”
Now Ye Chui was being mistaken for an illegitimate child, and countless people were preparing to assassinate them: the church, the imperial family of the Star Empire, or perhaps some other meddlesome fellows. These people were undoubtedly searching tirelessly for traces of Ye Chui. They were a massive force. So, Ye Chui could completely lure those fellows to the vicinity of Greenleaf Village, and then let the wolf bandits sealed by the iPad boy deal with them!
With the ferocity of those wolf bandits, they should be able to pit quite a few people to death, right?
At this thought, Ye Chui and Debbie both couldn’t help but chuckle “heh heh heh”. But soon they both sneezed “achoo” “achoo” in unison. Ye Chui hugged his shoulders and hurriedly said to the iPad boy, “[Storage Space] You should be able to open it, right? Hurry and find us two pieces of clothing!”
Moments later, Ye Chui and Debbie had put on warm fur coats again. At this point, Debbie remembered something important, “By the way, where is our daughter?”
The Elf Queen had chosen Ye Chui and Debbie as her parents for her new life. However, after they returned to the normal timeline, they had not seen the elf loli anywhere.
Upon hearing Debbie’s words, the iPad boy immediately let out an “ah” with a look of sudden realisation. Then he extended his fist, slowly opening his palm, “She is here!”
Ye Chui and Debbie both widened their eyes and looked at the iPad boy’s palm.
The elf daughter was in his palm?
Bloody hell, how tiny must she be…
Could the elf daughter be a miniature little person?
Then, Ye Chui realised he had overthought it. What miniature little person? When the iPad boy’s palm opened, what appeared in his hand was clearly a seed!
About the size of a peanut, emerald green, like a small jade stone. Ye Chui and Debbie leaned in to examine it closely. They could vaguely see the form of a small embryonic person inside the seed, with some green aura constantly swirling around the body of that embryonic little person.
Ye Chui and Debbie looked at each other, then straightened up. They spoke in unison, “Does that mean our daughter has to be planted by hand?”
The iPad boy scratched his head with his hand. His appearance seemed unchanged, so even after sixty-three years, his hair still looked the same as before. He said in his mouth, “At that time, that auntie (Ye Chui, Debbie: Auntie!?) turned into a seed. She asked me to pass the seed to you, saying that as long as you plant it, she will grow out from underground in her new life.”
Ye Chui and Debbie, “…”
Moments later, Ye Chui said in a tone of disbelief, “Did that auntie… oh no, the Elf Queen, give any instructions on how to plant it?”
This was an elf, after all. Even if it required such a bizarre cultivation method as planting, it surely needed a special approach, right?
The iPad boy thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Yes.”
Ye Chui and Debbie immediately widened their eyes, assuming listening poses.
Then…
“The soil must be loose. Remember to water it frequently, ensure ample sunlight, no need for extra fertiliser… That’s it.”
“…”
Bloody hell, is this planting an elf or a potato?
“We’ve got it…” Ye Chui nodded somewhat sweatily, taking the elf seed back into his hand. The seed looked like a jade stone, but it felt very smooth to the touch, as if it were alive. Ye Chui could even sense the feeling of life in his palm. His expression instantly became solemn, and he carefully cradled the elf seed.
Debbie also carefully cupped her hands around Ye Chui’s from the outside, her face full of tension.
The elves were a long-lived race, but now the elf race had completely perished from the world.
In their hands, they held the continuation of an entire race…
At this moment, Ye Chui suddenly heard some sound. He hurriedly pulled Debbie and Jillga to squat on the ground. The iPad boy followed suit and squatted beside Ye Chui. Following Ye Chui’s gaze, they saw several horses galloping rapidly in the distance, heading straight for Greenleaf Village. One person among them was even holding up a large flag high, on which a wolf’s head was painted.
“This is…” Ye Chui was stunned.
“They are a group of mountain stronghold wolf bandits. These days, I have been attracting powerful people to come and help me deal with the wolf bandits, so I specially captured a few bandits and had them spread news of the terror of the wolf bandits. Unfortunately, the effect has not been very good. The ones attracted have all been people with little ability. But the reputation of the wolf bandits has spread. So this group of fellows started causing trouble nearby under the name of the wolf bandits. They are too weak. I have no interest in bothering with them.” The iPad boy explained.
Upon hearing the iPad boy’s words, Ye Chui’s eyes suddenly lit up.
These few bandits could just help them with a big favour!
…
In Greenleaf Village, those few mountain stronghold wolf bandits arrived aggressively. Then, influenced by the murals painted by the divine woman old lady, we know she is actually Viya, the equally aggressive Gunny picked up her giant sword and smashed them around indiscriminately. They were collectively knocked out, lying miserably on the ground begging for mercy. This scene caused the villagers, who still harboured some resentment towards Lessa, Green, and the others, to exclaim in shock one after another.
And Viya looked at those wolf bandits, her eyes deep as she fell into contemplation…
Back then, after Ye Chui and Debbie returned sixty-three years into the future, the iPad boy went to block the wolf bandits. The Elf Queen completed her nirvana and turned into a seed, falling beside the iPad boy. The illusions around disappeared, and Viya found herself standing in the ruined Greenleaf Village.
There was no one around, nothing at all. She turned her head to look at the elf divine tree behind her, the once elf divine tree. The green leaves had completely dissipated, the branches had completely withered. It no longer had its original vigour, becoming a withered elf tree.
Viya had guarded this tree for five thousand years, and now her destiny had finally ended. Yet her heart was filled with reluctance, and she shed tears under the withered tree.
Then at this moment, she realised that some things were not yet finished. She noticed the surging wolf mist nearby. The boy named Aipede was sealing those detestable wolf bandits. So Viya made a decision: she did not belong to this era, and she had no interest in this era without the gods. So she decided to stay in Greenleaf Village, watching Aipede, waiting for the arrival of Ye Chui and his group…
Time passed bit by bit. After that, had months or years passed? One day, a group of refugee wasteland folk appeared in the ruined mountain village.
After seeing the owner here, Viya, they requested to live here.
Viya originally wanted to drive them away, but perhaps because she had been lonely for too long, she ultimately changed her mind.
“You can live here, but from now on, you must all obey me.” She said this to those wasteland folk.
“Then, what is your name?”
“I am called…” Viya glanced at the withered elf tree, pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, “You can address me as the divine woman.”
The divine woman had already undergone nirvana and been reborn, but as one of the three elf attendants, she had to continue upholding the divine woman’s prestige.
“Divine woman…” An old farmer holding his child stood before her, “My child was just born and has no name yet. Can you help us name him?”
“Name him?” Viya tilted her head and thought for a moment. She saw a mangy dog following at the old farmer’s feet. What an ugly dog, comparable to that magic beast in Greenleaf Village. So Viya thought of that blond magician who was very fond of his magic beast. That blond magician’s name was Harley. She smiled and said, “Then call him Harley.”
…
“Granny, stop reminiscing first!” At this moment, Green impatiently interrupted Viya’s reminiscence, feeling a bit annoyed in his heart, “Hurry and tell us where the guild leader and Miss Debbie are exactly. You must know their whereabouts, right?”
“Don’t rush, don’t rush…” Viya said slowly, but she lifted her head, her eyes looking towards outside the village.
“How can we not rush…” Jacob interjected.
However, Viya had already raised her hand, smiling as she said, “Look, haven’t they already arrived?”
With Viya’s hand, everyone looked outside the village.
White mist was rolling outside the village, surging rapidly towards the village side. The villagers had long known the terror of the wolf mist and shouted and yelled one after another, wanting to flee into their houses. Green, Gunny, and Lessa showed vigilant expressions. Facing this strange mist that had swallowed Ye Chui and Debbie, they decided not to hide anymore.
However…
When the white mist reached the outside of the village, it suddenly stopped. A figure flew out from within, landing with a bang in front of everyone. This figure was Jillga.
But Jillga was holding Ye Chui in a princess carry.
And Ye Chui was holding Debbie in a princess carry.
Seeing their bizarre appearance, Lessa, Green, and the others were instantly speechless, “…”
“Ouch, long time no see!” Debbie quickly jumped down from Ye Chui’s arms, pretending to be calm as she waved her hand in greeting.
