Chapter 116 - Entering the Mystic Realm, the F (2/2)

The princess looked at the pond and held Mike’s hand tightly again. She said nervously,

“I… I don’t know how to swim.”

The little tree spirit immediately became proud again.

“Don’t worry. This looks like a pond, but there is no water after you enter.”

It seemed to like showing off its “wise man” image, which made it feel satisfied.

Mike glanced at the princess, then at the little tree spirit whose height was only at his knees. He smiled and said,

“In that case, let’s set off to the outside world!”

With that, he directly jumped into the pond.

The princess was about to say “Wait” but before she could say anything, Mike pulled her in.

Two consecutive “Plop” sounds came from the pond. The little tree spirit excitedly shouted,

“Yes, yes, let’s go to the outside world.”

Following that, it also jumped in.

Another “Plop” sound.

The Tree Spirit Village regained its peace, leaving only the surface of the pond with layers of ripples.

..

When Mike opened his eyes and sat up, the little tree spirit was already standing beside him.

Meanwhile, the princess was still lying on the ground, not waking up.

When the little tree spirit saw that Mike had woken up, it excitedly jumped around and said,

“Haha, you’re awake too. Obviously, I’m in the first place, and you’re in second place.

“And she’s in the last place. So lame.”

Seeing the lively look of the little tree spirit, Mike could not help but laugh. After all, this was his first loss since his rebirth.

“Is this a competition to see who wakes up first? It sounds very interesting.”

“That’s right, that’s right. It’s very interesting.” the little tree spirit proudly raised its head and echoed.

“Hmm.” the princess, who was lying on the side, grunted softly and slowly opened her eyes.

When Mike saw that the princess had woken up, he smiled and said,

“Looks like we were too loud and woke her up.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We woke her up.”

The princess opened her eyes, and there was a look of confusion in her eyes. She looked at her surroundings and asked,

“Where… is this?”

Mike looked at the little tree spirit teasingly and said,

“We’ll have to ask our clever little tree spirit about this.”

“Yeah, yeah, I’m very smart.” the little tree spirit was happy again, and added, “also, my name is Stone.”

“What?” The princess and Mike showed a half-surprised and half-puzzled look at the same time.

“You are clearly a tree spirit, why are you called Stone?”

Stone said with a puzzled face, “Is it strange? I have been called Stone ever since I was born.”

Mike and the princess looked at each other and said nothing.

It seemed that the tree spirits had their own style of naming.

“Then, Mr. Stone, what should we do now?”

Mike looked at the surroundings and asked.

There was no water here, but it gave people a feeling of being underwater. The surroundings were hazy green.

“What should we do? I don’t know either. It’s my first time here.”

Stone answered as if it was a matter of course, but there was a bit of disappointment in its tone.

It could no longer maintain the image of knowing all the answers. It had only been a “wise man” for a short period of time.

“Is that so?” Mike stood up with a smile.

“In that case, let’s walk forward and take a look. I’m very curious about what’s so special about this secret realm.”

The princess also stood up, but she did not say anything.

This was because she had been too uneasy after leaving the City of Light. She could only rely on this adventurer in front of her.

On the other hand, the little tree spirit, Stone, was very excited. It shouted loudly,

“Yes, yes, let’s walk forward and have a look.”
