After returning from Sheng's house, Sheng Ming refused the car service to take them directly home, and walked back with Ning Qiubai for the last part of the way.

The neighborhood where Shenglin bought the house is naturally very high-end, and there is a big park nearby.

Ning Qiubai looked up at the scattered stars in the sky, and regretfully said to Sheng Ming beside him: "It's a pity that the sky is seriously polluted now, and it's rare to see the Milky Way like when I was a child."

Sheng Ming thought for a while: "There is a copy of the starry sky..."

"I just miss it." Ning Qiu laughed blankly, and bumped Sheng Ming with his elbow, "Does your mother agree with us tonight?"

Sheng Ming reached out and touched his head: "They agreed last time."

Ning Qiu breathed a sigh of relief: "I also thought that your mother would draw out a check for me to leave, or ask me to sign a property division agreement in advance."

Sheng Ming touched Ning Qiubai's head again.Ning Qiu's white hair is soft. Recently, she has been busy filming and didn't cut her hair. It has grown a lot and feels more comfortable.

Ning Qiubai patted his hand: "You can't touch a man's head casually!"

After all, he is four or five years older than Sheng Ming. Although he is a little shorter than Sheng Ming, he can't be patted on the head all the time!

He didn't know where to put his adult face.

Not only did Sheng Ming not stop, but he rubbed Ning Qiubai's head vigorously, and then he let go and said with a smile, "I'm just helping you try your mist wood."

Ning Qiubai glared at him, and suddenly remembered that Sheng Ming asked him for the fruit of the Misty Tree: "I have saved a lot of fruit now, do you want more?"

Sheng Ming raised his eyebrows: "Yes."

Ning Qiubai looked around and saw that there was no one around, and stretched the branches of the Misty Wood above his head, revealing a ripe fruit.

The fruit of Misty Wood is a bit like an acorn, but the color is reddish, just like the burning clouds in the evening.

Ning Qiubai watched Sheng Ming pick one off naturally and wanted to put it in his mouth, subconsciously stopped him: "You want to eat?"

Sheng Ming looked at Ning Qiubai inexplicably: "Otherwise?"

"Zhang Muke asked me for the fruit of the Misty Wood, saying that it is the material used to make some props."

Sheng Ming's face sank: "Did you give it to him?"

"No, I only gave him a branch." Ning Qiubai scratched his head.

Ning Qiubai always felt embarrassed when he was told that the flowers and fruits of plants are reproductive organs.

Obviously, when eating fruits and melon seeds, I don't feel this kind of feeling at all.

Seeing that Sheng Ming wanted to eat the Qiwu fruit again, Ning Qiubai blurted out: "Wouldn't it be strange for you to eat my fruit?"

Sheng Ming took a bite and said naturally, "I didn't eat less of your seeds."

Ning Qiubai didn't react at first, but after a while he understood, his face flushed suddenly, he pointed at Sheng Ming and stammered, "You, where did you learn this?"

This is flirting!

Sheng Ming was puzzled again: "What's wrong?"

Ning Qiubai looked at Sheng Ming's face carefully, and found that Sheng Ming's expression was sincere and natural, as if the words just now came from the heart rather than deliberately flirting.

Could it be that my head is too dirty?

Ning Qiubai covered his face: "Anyway, don't say this outside in the future."

Sheng Ming let out an "oh" and continued to chew the Qiwu fruit.

The heat on Ning Qiubai's face dissipated, seeing Sheng Ming's cheeks puffed up like a squirrel, he suddenly became curious: "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Sheng Ming thought about it and added, "It's the best thing I've ever eaten."

Sheng Ming seldom expresses such a direct opinion on food. Ning Qiubai was suddenly a little surprised. Curiosity overcame his shame. He picked one himself, took a bite, and then spat it out in a "peh pee pee":

"so bitter!"

And dry and woody, hard to swallow.

Ning Qiubai looked at Sheng Ming who was eating so deliciously in disbelief, and doubted the other party's sense of taste: "Have you ever eaten it before?"

"I killed a mist perching tree before, but that one only produced two fruits." Sheng Ming swallowed his mouth and asked, "Can I eat another one?"

"Is it so delicious..." Ning Qiubai complained, and stretched out another one, letting Sheng Ming pick it by himself.

When Sheng Ming finished eating another one and wanted to ask for more, Ning Qiubai suddenly felt a little dazzled.

Otherwise, why would he see a pair of pure black wings behind Sheng Ming?

Those wings were like shadows of the abyss, giving Ning Qiubai a strong fear, as if he was being targeted by a natural enemy, making him stand still and unable to move, as if his hearing and vision had been taken away!

I want, I want to escape...but I can't move my feet at all...

……

"Qiubai, Qiubai?"

Sheng Ming's calling made Ning Qiubai break free from the nightmare-like confinement.

A wristband on Sheng Ming's hand turned into a spot of light and disappeared. Seeing Ning Qiubai wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and kissed Ning Qiubai's forehead: "You finally woke up."

"I……"

As soon as Ning Qiubai opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse as if he hadn't spoken for a few days, and his back was covered in sticky cold sweat, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Looking around, only to find that they have returned home.

In Sheng Ming's explanation, Ning Qiubai found out that he suddenly fell down straight while walking on the road, and Sheng Ming hurriedly took him home for treatment.

"What happened? Who attacked you?" Sheng Ming didn't find any trace of the attack at all, and his expression was very serious.

Ning Qiubai regained his composure, and told the story of seeing wings growing on Sheng Ming's back.

After hearing Ning Qiubai describe the appearance of those wings, Sheng Ming's face gradually became a little ugly.

Ning Qiubai already had a guess in his heart, but he still asked, "Is it the wings of a phoenix?"

Sheng Ming pursed his lips and nodded.After a while, he put Ning Qiubai down: "Maybe, it's about to wake up."

Just a little sign can make people around him fall into a nightmare. If he really turns into a phoenix, everyone he cares about will...

Ning Qiubai saw Sheng Ming's face getting more and more ugly, and instantly guessed what Sheng Ming was thinking.

He wiped his face, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "But why did the phoenix suddenly have signs? What's special tonight?"

They just went home today, took a walk on the way back, and...

Ning Qiubai and Sheng Ming looked at each other and said at the same time, "Qiwumu."

Sheng Ming ate the fruit of Qiwu tree!

Ning Qiubai picked one of his own fruits, stared at the fiery red skin for a long time, and slowly asked, "Mist perching wood... Could it have something to do with the phoenix?"

Sheng Ming naturally grasped the origin of this special creature: "The mist trees in all dungeons are derived from a certain original species, so most of them have no self-awareness, just pure the BOSS."

"What about the origin of this primitive species?"

Sheng Ming shook his head: "There is no clear origin, I only guess that the copy it was born in may have been..."

Sheng Ming paused, "Do you think the original species of mistwood came from a copy of the phoenix?"

Ning Qiubai nodded: "Guess boldly, maybe the mist perching wood used to be the food of the phoenix."

That's why Qiwumu, which tastes so bad, likes Shengming so much.

If that's the case, they might be able to learn the coordinates of the Phoenix's lost copy from the primordial Mistwood!In this way, Sheng Ming's lost memory can be found!

The predicament he had fallen into because he could not find Wei Qi for a long time finally had a breakthrough.

To solve the problem of the phoenix on Sheng Ming, of course it is best not to go through the Nine-Tailed Fox!

Sheng Ming nodded: "I will arrange it now."

Ning Qiubai looked at Sheng Ming's serious expression, and deliberately tossed the Wuqi fruit: "It seems that you can't eat this for the time being."

Even though Sheng Ming thought about many possible consequences and corresponding arrangements, seeing Ning Qiubai like this, he still frowned a lot.

He played with the corners of his lips a little, lowered his head and rubbed his lips against Ning Qiubai's ear, and said with a low smile, "It's okay, use your seeds instead."

Ning Qiubai: "..."

He was sure, this guy was teasing him!

……

Thousand-year-old monsters like Nine-Tailed Fox and Phoenix are hard to find, but plant bosses like Misty Wood with poor mobility are still easy to find.

It's just that the result made them not very satisfied.

The original species of Misty Wood last appeared about a year ago, in a dangerous instance with a death theme, trying to devour the players in that instance.

However, its luck was not very good. It ran into a powerful player, and the two sides fought, almost destroying the entire copy.After that, the original species of mist tree has disappeared.

And the player who had a conflict with Qiwumu, coincidentally...is Wei Qi.

Ning Qiubai: "...So, Qiwumu was killed by Wei Qi?"

Du Zigui, who took off his glasses, sighed: "The possibility is not small."

It is not difficult for Wei Qi, who has the power of a nine-tailed fox, to kill a not-so-top Misaki.

The enthusiasm that was finally aroused suffered a major blow and quickly subsided.

Sheng Ming leaned on the sofa in the Twilight Palace, leaning on his forehead, silent.

Liu Huamei looked at Sheng Ming worriedly, and opened her mouth, wanting to comfort him but didn't know what to say.

A dignified atmosphere permeated everyone.

Sheng Ming was not silent for a long time, and continued to arrange some affairs, then stood up, walked to the balcony, and looked at the never-changing dusk in the sky.

Ning Qiubai followed behind him and patted his shoulder: "Do you think Qiwumu is dead?"

Sheng Ming shook his head and said firmly: "No."

Ning Qiubai was surprised: "Why?"

"If the original species of Misty Misty Tree dies, the next Misty Misty Wood will inherit it. Every NPC must have an Innate. Although the inherited Innate may not inherit the memory, the origin coordinates probably have some of."

"Then what are you worried about?"

Sheng Ming replied: "Even Du Zigui couldn't find any trace of it, which means that the original species of misty wood is not in any copy—either it was taken back by the system, or... it was controlled by Wei Qi. "

Judging from Wei Qi's deep understanding of Phoenix, I'm afraid the latter is more likely.

Sheng Ming's fingers holding on to the railing curled up, feeling a little restless in his heart.

His humanity is becoming more and more full, and he is becoming more and more like an ordinary person.Because of this, when encountering unsolvable troubles, Sheng Ming inevitably felt frustrated.

The closer he gets to a real person, the less he wants to give up on being a real person.

But if he can't solve Phoenix's troubles... Sheng Ming tightened his lips.

At this moment, Sheng Ming suddenly felt a burst of energy fluctuations coming from behind.

He turned around, suddenly froze.

Next to Ning Qiubai lay a limp green potted plant, and the scattered leaves were the leaves of the Misty Tree that Sheng Ming was familiar with.

Ning Qiubai pinched the phone and touched his head: "I thought silently that I wanted Misty Wood, and tried to accept an NPC, and it seemed to be really successful... Can you see if it is the original species?"
