The four people who entered the Twilight Forest were so stunned by the beautiful scenery before them that they were speechless.
The light hung suspended at the cusp of dusk, neither glaring nor dark, but a hazy glow, tinged with pale purple and orange, like diluted watercolor, gently spreading across the branches of the ancient trees.
The trees here reach for the sky, shimmering with dappled light. Fireflies, like little elves, perch quietly on these ancient trees, illuminating the place and brightening the surroundings.
Deer, birds, rabbits, or squirrels frequently pass by, adding to the vibrancy of the forest.
The three girls were mesmerized by the dreamlike place; they hadn't expected the Twilight Forest to be so beautiful!
"Mmm~, this flower smells so good!" Mitsuri Kanroji moved closer to a yellow flower and gently sniffed it.
"Indeed, this place feels like a fairytale!" Nezuko exclaimed happily, running and jumping around.
"I haven't seen such a beautiful place in so long!" Butterfly couldn't help but exclaim.
When was the last time...?
Seeing that Shinobu Kocho was lost in her memories again, Lin Tian put his arm around her shoulder and let her lean on him gently.
Shinobu Kocho didn't refuse and leaned against Lin Tian with peace of mind.
"Hey, there's a glass bottle filled with fireflies!" Nezuko exclaimed, having discovered something interesting.
Hearing Nezuko's words, the others moved closer to her.
Since Shinobu Kocho had already separated from Lin Tian, Mitsuri Kanroji did not see the scene of them leaning together.
"You can take this glass bottle home and use it as a nightlight."
"Moreover, the fireflies inside never die, making them a kind of eternal light source."
As he spoke, Lin Tian took out a workbench and made several glass bottles, which he then distributed to the three women.
He had prepared this in advance, just to make the three women happy.
The three girls who got the glass bottle were also excited to go find fireflies, with Shinobu Kocho mainly doing so for the younger sisters of the Butterfly Mansion.
Seeing the three searching for fireflies, Lin Tian also searched for crows.
To find the Naga Garden, you need a magic map; to get a magic map, you need a magic map core; and to get a core, you need raven feathers, torchberries, and glowstone dust.
He already has fluorite powder, so he just needs to find the other two. Torchberries are generally found in caves, so he just needs to find a raven.
Before long, Lin Tian spotted the crow.
Taking out his bow and arrow, Lin Tian shot an arrow while the crow stopped to rest, successfully killing it and dropping a feather!
Lin Tian walked to where the crow had died and picked up its feathers, while the three girls from Kanroji Temple also came over.
"Brother Lin Tian! Look!" Nezuko ran over and stretched out her hands to show Lin Tian.
Lin Tian looked closely and saw several yellow fruits lying quietly in Nezuko's hand.
"Torchberry? Nezuko, where did you find that?"
That's right, the fruit Nezuko is holding is one of the core materials of the magic map—the Torchberry!
"I found it in a hole. Is this fruit really that important?"
Nezuko looked at Lin Tian with a puzzled expression. She had seen many of these fruits in the cave. Could these fruits be very important?
"Important... well, not really, but it's definitely useful to me."
Torchberries aren't actually that useful. Besides crafting the Magic Map Core, they can be used to make torches, power up the Moon Worm Queen, and are also eaten...
It's not that important.
Nezuko immediately became happy upon hearing that it would be useful to Lin Tian.
"Then give them all to your brother." With that, Nezuko handed all the Torchberries she had to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian was also surprised that Nezuko had collected nearly a whole stack of Torchberries! Was this girl really that lucky?
After receiving the Torchberries, Lin Tian took out Raven Feathers and Fluorite Powder, and synthesized a Magic Map Core at the workbench. He then added eight pieces of paper to create the Magic Map.
Lin Tian picked up the completed magic map, and his pupils dilated sharply upon seeing the display on it.
"This, this, the Naga Courtyard is actually here..."
Chapter 36 Confirmation. Relationship?
Seeing that the Naga Courtyard was actually only two hundred blocks to their north, Lin Tian didn't know whether to be overjoyed or saddened.
If we were any closer, wouldn't we be able to see a head rushing towards us as soon as we walked in?
But it's a good thing overall.
Lin Tian put away the magic map and looked at the three women in front of him, saying, "So? Have you caught any fireflies?"
The three girls nodded and reported their catches. Shinobu Kocho caught a total of 6 fireflies, Mitsuri Kanroji caught 5, and Nezuko also caught 5. It seems that everyone caught about the same number.
"Then let's go home." Seeing the satisfied expressions on the three people's faces, Lin Tian decided to go back as well.
"Are we going back now? Shouldn't we stay a little longer?" Kanroji Mitsuri asked, puzzled.
Shinobu and Nezuko also looked at Lin Tian expectantly. It was the first time they had seen such a beautiful place, and they both wanted to stay a little longer.
Seeing the expectant looks on the three girls' faces, Lin Tian nodded in agreement, as long as they didn't get too close to the Naga courtyard.
"Then you absolutely cannot go north! You can only go in one of the other three directions, understand?"
The three women immediately agreed when they heard Lin Tian's consent, since they wouldn't be going too far away anyway.
At this moment, Lin Tian said goodbye to the three of them and returned to the main world.
He planned to bring the girls from the main world in as well, since the supplies wouldn't just grow legs and run away; he could farm them anytime.
Before long, Lin Tian brought Kanao, Kanzaki Aoi, Kiyoshi, Sumi, and Naho, the five girls, to the twilight.
Similarly, the five women who were visiting Twilight for the first time were also very excited. This place was even more beautiful than the main world!
Seeing the girls making a ruckus, Lin Tian started a group live stream so that everyone in the group could also enjoy the beautiful scenery.
"The group member, World Master, has started a live stream."
"A silly girl has joined the live stream!"
"Hellish Blizzard has joined the live stream!"
"The great Hashirama has joined the live stream!"
........
However, not everyone came in. For example, Ying Zheng and Xiao Zhi didn't come in, probably because they were busy.
"Silly girl: Wow! Where is this? It's so beautiful! Those are fireflies in the distance... Is it twilight?"
"Sister looking for her brother: I want to go play too! But I'm on my way to the Golden House right now, so I don't have time!"
Lin Tian also noticed what Ying said, and was now preparing to go to the Golden House?
"Ying, are you going to find the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transformation?" Lin Tian asked the air.
"The sister looking for her brother: Yes, after we finish fighting the young master, we'll fight Oser. I'll be streaming it then too."
"Silly girl: Really? I definitely want to see!"
"Great Love Hashirama: A demon god? I wonder how it compares to a tailed beast?"
.........
Lin Tian also enjoys this peaceful life. In the past, he was always busy with missions, which were also for the purpose of strengthening himself, but it was undeniable that he was very busy.
Watching Kanao chase after the birds, Lin Tian also personally felt how the peaceful days had changed her.
"What's wrong? Why are you sitting here all alone?" At that moment, Shinobu Kocho's voice came from the side.
Lin Tian saw Shinobu Kocho walk over and slowly sit down beside him, saying only, "I'm just very moved by Kanao's changes."
"When I first met her, I felt like I couldn't get into her heart at all. She was always quiet and seemed to have no opinions of her own! She only did things when she heard my orders."
"But now he seems like a completely different person, much more cheerful, and sometimes he even jokes with me."
Hearing Lin Tian's evaluation of Kanao, Butterfly couldn't help but smile. She had to admit that Lin Tian's summary was very comprehensive, and she had also witnessed Kanao's changes firsthand, which made her happy.
"Hehe~, it's all thanks to you, Xiaotian, that you were able to win her heart."
Hearing Shinobu's teasing, Lin Tian blushed slightly. Had he really done that well? How come he didn't know?
However, he didn't say anything, but just sat quietly next to Shinobu Kocho, watching the people playing and joking around.
As for the live stream? He's already turned it off. He's already told the people in the group that he can invite them to join later.
Smelling the unique wisteria fragrance emanating from Shinobu Kocho, Lin Tian suddenly remembered something he had always overlooked!
"Shinobu! Have you gotten rid of the wisteria poison in your body? Will it still harm your body? Have you drunk milk? Can milk remove it?" Lin Tian suddenly bombarded Shinobu with a barrage of questions, leaving her completely bewildered.
However, after regaining her senses, Shinobu Kocho smiled slightly at Lin Tian's anxious expression. "I've already been cured. A bucket of milk removed the toxins that had been lingering in my body. Although the sudden removal of the toxins made me feel unwell, the Golden Apple can also heal me."
"What's wrong? Are you worried about me?"
As she spoke, Shinobu Kocho's purple eyes were fixed on Lin Tian.
"Is it all done? That's good! That's good!"
Hearing Shinobu's words, Lin Tian felt relieved. It seemed that the scent of wisteria had become her natural fragrance.
Immediately afterwards, Shinobu Kocho's words were heard again.
Seeing Shinobu's slightly parted lips, Lin Tian swallowed hard.
"May I?"
Shinobu's eyes did not waver; she remained fixed on him, and softly uttered two words, "Okay."
Lin Tian could no longer hold back. He reached out and gently hugged Shinobu Kocho's cheek, leaning close to her.
........
After a long while, the two separated, and a silver thread slowly broke off between them.
Lin Tian and Shinobu Kocho both blushed slightly as they stared intently at each other.
This time, Shinobu Kocho made the first move, grabbing Lin Tian's head and leaning against him again.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice came, "Xiao Tian, Ren, what are you doing?"
