God's Gift

Asta took a step back and looked up at the huge monster in front of him that was dozens of meters tall. He found himself like an ant and his body began to tremble.

A drop of cold rain water fell down and fell into the flames burning on Asta's skeleton.

The raindrops continued to fall, and the fog gradually dissipated. Asta then saw a little girl standing in the middle of the asphalt road ahead.

Behind her, the mist that had not yet dissipated condensed into a giant fish that was big enough to cover the sky and the sun.

"Who are you?" The flames on Asta's skeleton were extinguished by the rain, and he wailed in pain and asked the girl.

Yu Youyou slowly raised her eyes, tilted her head, and did not answer Asta's words.

Her eyes were clear and bright, like those of a newborn baby, but deep in her eyes there was a natural sense of heavy oppression, as if a god from ten thousand years ago was gazing at all living beings.

It was a strange feeling of disconnection.

The giant fish behind her was like a mirror. When Yu Youyou made a move, the giant fish did the same move and tilted its head.

After a long time, Yu Youyou finally opened her mouth.

"I'm here to help her fulfill her last wish."

The giant fish opened their mouths at the same time, uttering the same words. Yu Youyou's childish voice overlapped with the giant fish's distant voice, like the sound of bells ringing at the same time, echoing far away.

Asta trembled, and before he could understand what she meant, Yu Youyou had already raised her foot and ran towards Asta.

As she moved, the giant fish also moved. Its huge body pushed away the mist and rain and swam towards Asta with surging waves.

In just a second, Yu Youyou had passed by Asta, and the giant fish behind her opened its mouth and swallowed Asta.

The rain stopped in mid-air.

But soon, it condensed into a tide and surged towards Asta.

Yu Youyou stopped and stood behind Asta, with their backs to each other.

The fog dissipated, revealing everything around us, and the rain stopped.

A cold wind blew.

The flames on Asta's skeleton went out, the bones scattered on the ground, the fire fell out of the eye sockets, and the flames became extremely weak.

There were footsteps heard in the forest. Yu Youyou looked over there and left without looking back.

-

Lu Keming walked out of the forest and saw the white bones on the asphalt road. He paused, then raised his foot again, quickened his pace, and walked towards the skeleton.

He stood on the asphalt road and looked around. The road led into the distance and the surrounding trees were still dry, with nothing unusual.

Lu Keming pressed the ring and noticed the water droplets on the skeleton. He half squatted down and wiped away the water droplets with his fingers.

Raindrops.

Lu Keming frowned, his eyes glanced at the dying dark red fire next to him, and he paused for a second.

He picked up the fire.

The fire lay quietly in the palm of his hand, but it no longer absorbed his mental energy like the previous fire, as if it was about to go out.

He stared at the fire, his eyes showing an unclear emotion. After a few seconds, Lu Keming put the fire into the space with an expressionless face and turned back the way he came.

-

In the castle, Yu Youyou opened Andy's room, looked at the dirt on the floor, and walked in.

There were lumps of dried mud, with yellow dust scattered around, and in the middle was a complete set of white teeth.

Seeing Yu Youyou coming, the teeth moved and turned into more than twenty elves, running towards Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou grabbed one of the elves, put it in her mouth, and chewed it with her toothless gums.

The elf was chewed and made a crackling sound, but it was not broken at all, just like a small rubber ball.

It made a giggling sound in Youyou's mouth and its body turned around several times in Youyou's mouth.

The other elves grabbed Yu Youyou's hands, pointed at themselves, and asked Yu Youyou to eat them as well.

Yu Youyou dragged her chin, looked at the soil on the ground, sighed, and picked up another elf and put it in her mouth.

White teeth gradually grew out of her mouth.

When the last elf turned into a tooth, Yu Youyou placed the bouquet in her hand on the soil and touched the soil with her hand.

White dots of light fell from her hands and scattered on the soil.

Yu Youyou looked at the soil quietly, stood up and walked out.

At this time, Lu Keming and Lan Long's group had returned to the castle. Lu Keming glanced through the crowd but did not find any trace of Yu Youyou.

His face darkened. He stood in the middle of the hall, looked at Shen Minghua and Ye Li, and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Yu Youyou?"

"In the room." Ye Li looked at Lu Keming's dark face and responded speechlessly.

Lu Keming glanced at Ye Li and walked up to the second floor.

As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Yu Youyou's figure appeared from the corner.

Seeing Lu Keming, Yu Youyou smiled, looked at Lu Keming with dark, watery eyes, and asked happily: "Lu Keming, you're back!"

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's watery and bright eyes, curled up the fingers at his side, and nodded.

"Ah."

After saying that, Lu Keming seemed a little anxious, as if he didn't want to stay with Yu Youyou, so he turned around and wanted to go back.

"Okay." Yu Youyou didn't care what Lu Keming was thinking. She jumped down the stairs in a few steps and rushed towards Lu Keming with cheers.

Lu Keming's eyes widened for a second, and he quickly grabbed Yu Youyou, frowning again, "Walk properly..."

Before he could finish his words, the prompt sound of the intelligent computer appeared.

"Swamp Castle: Mission Accomplished."

"Preparing for transmission..."

Lu Keming frowned, let go of Yu Youyou, and waited for the transmission from the intelligent computer.

Several rays of light appeared, and the people in the hall disappeared one by one.

Lu Keming turned around and glanced at Yu Youyou.

It was originally a calm glance, but after seeing the intact teeth in Yu Youyou's mouth, those deep eyes froze for a few seconds.

They have not yet been teleported back by the intelligent computer.

The teeth in Yu Youyou’s mouth appeared again?

His eyes were still, but before he could confirm, he was teleported back to the real world by the intelligent computer.

[We cast the starlight into bright lamps to watch over travelers in the dark night;

We burn the warm sun into fireworks to dispel the cold winter of travelers;

We are a blessing, a blessing.

As bright as the moon, as shining as the sun; it dispels suffering and brings happiness.

Bless all seasons and bless all things.
