The Red Moon Goddess
chapter 45's

Shiren awoke from his sleep when the morning sunlight began to seep in from behind the window curtain of his room, he stretched his muscles before getting up and moving to the bathroom to get ready.

Today they were going back to continue their journey towards the dead forest, Shiren and Zhi Shu came out of his room to say goodbye to Duan Luan and Xiao Rue.

The two men were already waiting downstairs at a table with four chairs at the end of the room.

"have you been waiting a long time?…"

"no, just sat down." replied Shiren with a smile.

"hmm..Where is Xiao Rue?" ask Duan Luan

Shiren and Zhi Shu simultaneously shrugged his shoulders a sign of ignorance.

"sorry so late, the slumber was.."Xiao Rue seemed to be sitting in a hurry.

"yes, no papa…"

"we had breakfast before we left." - Shiren.

"okay…"

they each ate their breakfast solemnly.

After paying his room rent, Shiren, Zhi Shu, Duan Luan, and Xiao Rue walked out of the inn in tandem.

"where are your plans going?…"asked Duan Luan to Shiren and Zhi Shu.

"we plan to go to the dead forest, there is a little business there." replied Shiren.

"oh…"

"Where are you going?!!…" (Lulu calls Shiren's favorite on Duan Luan.)

"hmm.mau to the capital of the Qian kingdom, there's something I want to take care of there…"

"oh…"

"i did not ask." - Xiao Rue.

"where are you going?"

"where did Brother Xiao go?"

"Xiao Rue where are you going?"

shiren asked, Duan Luan, and Zhi Shu simultaneously in a mocking tone.

"of the three, only the call of Shiren is not good to hear…"

"call brother kayak Zhi Shu to that Lulu, or dear ...would it be nice to hear…"

"yes yes, where is Xiao going?"Shiren smiled with a forced smile.

"hmm..not anywhere, most in the city next door want to join the auction…"

"if that's why ask in question earlier.."Zhi Shu snorted annoyedly.

"after your business is done, where will you go?…"asked Xiao Rue.

"hmm.if I don't know where I'm going"

"i want to explore this lotus continent." replied Shiren steady.

"really?looks like it's gonna be fun. Can I come?…"asked Duan Luan enthusiastically.

"of course…"

"can I come too?actually from the beginning I also wanted to adventure exploring this continent but I have no friends…"

"maybe, if you come, it'll be even more exciting…"

"alright, what if your business has finished we meet at the border of the Qian kingdom, I will wait for you at the inn that is not far from the border." - Xiao Rue.

"alright, I agree." said Shiren.

"alright, agreed…"

"ok, I'll wait for you there." Xiao Rue left.

"okay…"

Shiren and Zhi Shu arrive at a forest that looks quite creepy, not a single animal is visible in the forest.

All of the trees that were there had no leaves and were blackish in burning marks, there were even some that were still emitting smoke.

The forest looked very dark in addition to the scorched towering trees that even the land they were burning was also blackish in color.

"glue…"

"sister, sure you want to come in." asked Zhi Shu hesitantly.

"sure, we will nolongin Ling Fei." replied Shiren confidently.

Zhi Shu who heard the name Ling Fei got excited again,

"yes, come on, by Ling Fei…"

They walked cautiously into the forest, once their path was blocked by a branch of a tree that suddenly fell in front of them but they were still able to handle it.

They reached the middle of the forest safely, in the middle of the forest there was a large tree which was the only tree that did not burn like the others.

Shiren and Zhi Shu stopped for a moment because they felt quite tired because of the long journey, which was quite far away,accidentally Shiren attached one of his hands to the tree trunk beside him while adjusting his slightly irregular breathing.

"continue?"asked Shiren after he was quite tired again.

"continue!!…" they set foot back to the big tree in the forest.

Without Shiren noticing, when one of his hands clung to the tree trunk earlier, the healing element came out of his body and into the tree trunk.

The tree trunk slowly came back brown, the leaves and flowers grew back and filled the empty tree branch until it was not seen again.

The tree grew back and looked very lush and there was not even a sign that it had burned before.

A pair of eyes, who had been observing the two strangers who entered the dead forest area, did not seem to blink to see the miracle.

The pair of eyes again disappeared among the dead tree trunks around him without anyone noticing his presence.

"sister, this tree looks weird anyway…"

"strange as it is, this tree is like a normal tree" Shiren replied as he watched the tree.

"yes strange, other times it's a charred kayak, he's not even burned in the slightest," Zhi Shu pointed to the tree beside the big tree.

"yes, anyway,"

"what if we check this tree, who knows we find a clue." - Zhi Shu.

"good idea…"

The two of them began to carefully inspect the tree, but they found nothing strange except a small twig in front of Shiren standing.

The twigs grew in a very short place even parallel to the height of his long Zhi Shu just along the palm of Zhi Shu.

"did you find anything, brother?…"

Shiren shook his head while shrugging his shoulders,

"except the twig." said Zhi Shu and Shiren in unison while pointing at his twig.

Zhi Shu and Shiren looked at each other, slowly they drew closer to the branch of the tree.

Zhi Shu tried to pull the twig but nothing happened, he pushed the twig back but the twig did not move at all.

It was Shiren's turn to try, whatever the idea from which he tried to twist the twig and pull it and then push it like opening a door.

"luckyx…"
