Primordial Era: The Holy Maiden Shiji, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty

Gui Ge frowned slightly and said to himself, "Benefits? It seems that we, the ghost tribe, don't have any decent gifts to give..."

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she looked up at Shiji with a gleam in her eyes: "By the way, Brother Shiji, I can give you the space ring!"

Shiji was a little surprised. The space ring was the treasure of the ghost clan and could hold everything. How could Guige easily give such a precious thing to her as a thank-you gift?
Besides, the ghost clan is wealthy and powerful. Although Gui Ge calls him brother, he still feels a little unclear in his heart. What if there is some fishy thing going on?

"Brother Shiji?" Gui Ge asked softly when he saw that Shiji didn't respond for a long time.

Shiji weighed the pros and cons quickly in his mind, trying to delay time: "Oh, Guige, are you serious? This space ring is not an ordinary magic weapon, it is..."

"The family treasure?" Gui Ge laughed, "Brother, you really believe those rumors from the outside world."

Shiji's heart tightened. Guige was not an ordinary person, and he couldn't let her notice anything. He simply made up his mind and acted according to circumstances!
"However, this space ring is so precious. If you give it to me, will the elders of the ghost clan agree?" Shiji asked with a smile.

Gui Ge's smile became even brighter: "No problem! You helped us invite the King of Elves, the elders are so happy, what's a space ring? Of course I can give it to you!"

"Besides, the Moonlight Forest is so big, and they haven't found anyone else who can enter it except you over the years. This shows their incompetence. It would be a waste to keep the ring in their hands, so why not give it to you as a thank-you gift." Gui Ge looked at Shiji with anticipation in his eyes.

Shiji looked at the smile on Guige's charming face and didn't think it was beautiful, but a little weird. But since it had come to this, he had defeated Guige in the martial arts competition just now, so there was no reason to refuse. Moreover, the temptation of the space ring was too great for him. So he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I promise you, I will go into the Moonlight Forest and bring back the Elf King." A hint of determination flashed in Shiji's eyes. Even if it was for the space ring, he would bring back the Elf King!
Gui Ge was so happy that he almost jumped up: "That's great, Brother Shiji! With your strength, you will definitely succeed! Then Gui Ge will go first. I am very happy to be able to spar with you. I hope you can successfully bring back the King of Elves after entering the Moonlight Forest!"

Shiji smiled and gently hugged Guige, saying lightly: "Well, goodbye."

"Goodbye brother!"

After sending Gui Ge away, Shiji rubbed his eyebrows gently. He had a premonition that this trip to the Moonlight Forest would definitely be a tough battle.

He took big steps and headed for Ma Deyuan's residence. Along the way, the wild flowers on the roadside were in full bloom, swaying gently in the breeze. Shiji suddenly felt that it was not bad to stay in this place.

Shiji was tall and took big steps, so it only took him three minutes to reach the destination, which was not a short distance.

"Knock knock" twice, Shiji knocked on Ma Deyuan's door.

At this time, the room was filled with calming and nourishing incense smoke. Ma Deyuan sat at the table, sipping tea, smacking his lips from time to time, thinking about how to promote the relationship between his godson Bai Yiyi and his favorite student Shi Ji.

He was resting at home. When he heard that Shiji had defeated the ghost Guige who came to cause trouble, he was full of praise for Shiji.

Just when I was thinking about how to create some opportunities for these two youngsters to enhance their relationship, Shiji knocked on the door.

Ma Deyuan put down his teacup and dragged his not-yet-fully-recovered body to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his favorite student Shiji.

Ma Deyuan's face was immediately filled with smiles, and his wrinkles were squeezed together. He didn't care about the pain in his body anymore, and quickly pulled Shiji into the house.

"Dean, please slow down and take care of yourself." Shiji said with concern.

Look! His favorite student still cares about him! Ma Deyuan smiled and took Shiji to sit opposite him. He considerately poured Shiji a cup of tea, and then asked slowly: "What do you want to see me for?"

Shiji picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of tea immediately filled his mouth. He sighed and said, "Dean, I came here to say goodbye to you."

Ma Deyuan was shocked when he heard this, and asked quickly: "Goodbye? What happened? Do you want to go out and relax? Oh! Did you get injured when fighting with Gui Ge from the ghost tribe in the martial arts competition just now?"

Shi Ji looked at Ma Deyuan's anxious look and patted his hand comfortingly: "I'm fine, Dean. I just need to go out for a while and will be back in a few days."

Ma Deyuan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Shiji said, and his slightly excited emotions gradually calmed down. He looked at Shiji and asked slowly, "Where are you going? If you are willing, you may as well tell me, an old man."

Shiji folded his hands on his legs, was silent for a while, then raised his head and replied: "It's the Moonlight Forest. Dean, do you know anything about this place?"

"Moonlight Forest..." Ma Deyuan frowned and thought for a moment, "This place is not something that anyone can enter, right?"

Shiji nodded and told Ma Deyuan everything Guige had said: "Just now, Guige from the ghost tribe told me that only I can enter the Moonlight Forest. She also said that she came here this time to ask me to go to the Moonlight Forest and bring back the King of Elves."

Ma Deyuan stroked his beard gently and said to Shiji in a serious tone, "The Moonlight Forest is full of spiritual energy. It is said that many elves live in it. But..."

"But what?" Shiji asked anxiously, "Dean, please don't keep us in suspense."

Ma Deyuan sighed and said slowly: "As you know, there has always been a conflict between elves and humans. The leaders of the two tribes have spent a lot of effort to maintain the current reluctant peace. But the elves in the Moonlight Forest are still very hostile to humans, and can be said to be hostile. If you go there rashly, I'm afraid you will be in danger..."

After listening to Ma Deyuan's words, Shiji became even more curious about this mysterious forest.

"By the way, Shiji." Ma Deyuan said again, "You just helped our Yutian Academy defeat the ghost tribe's Gui Ge, we should reward you."

He waved his hand and ordered the servant standing beside him to get the high-level elixir.

After a while, the servant came over carefully holding a box.

He put the box on the table, and Shiji looked at it carefully.

The box is made of sandalwood. If you take a closer look, you can smell a faint scent of sandalwood. The carvings on the box are very delicate, and each cut is so skillful, with smooth and natural lines. In general, this is a very exquisite carving.

How could a treasure that could be contained in a box like this be an ordinary thing?
Ma Deyuan looked at Shiji's expression and knew that he was full of curiosity and desire for this magic weapon, so he said with a smile: "Shiji, open it and take a look."

Shiji nodded gratefully, stood up and slowly opened the box.

A high-level elixir lay quietly in the sandalwood box. Shi Ji stood up, bowed to Ma Deyuan, and said, "Thank you, Dean. This elixir is so precious."

Ma Deyuan smiled and shook his head, and said to Shiji: "High-level elixirs are indeed precious, but you are also a rare good child. Giving precious gifts to precious people is the best use of things."

Shiji was deeply moved by Ma Deyuan's words. His eyes turned slightly red. He thanked him more solemnly and then sat down again.

Just then, Ma Deyuan's door was knocked again.

Ma Deyuan was about to get up and open the door but was stopped by Shiji.

"Dean, let me open the door." Shi Ji said, "Your injury has not healed yet, you need to rest and try not to move as much as possible." Ma Deyuan smiled and let him go, thinking to himself: "This young man really thinks I'm old and need help to open a door."

Shiji strode to the door, opened it, and saw Bai Yiyi standing there.

Bai Yiyi was wearing a red dress, and her exposed skin looked even whiter against the background of the dress. The gauze on her dress fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of charm to this beauty.

Seeing Shiji, Bai Yiyi was also a little surprised. She widened her eyes slightly and said, "Shiji? Why are you here with the dean?"

Shiji let Bai Yiyi in and explained, "Oh, I have to go out for some business in a while, so I came to say goodbye to the dean."

"Going out? Will it be dangerous?" Bai Yiyi's beautiful face showed a worried look, "Where are you going?"

"Is Yiyi here?"

Before Shiji could answer, Ma Deyuan in the house heard the voice and couldn't help but ask.

"Grandpa Dean, it's me. I came to see your injury." Bai Yiyi walked forward, "I didn't expect to meet Shiji here."

Ma Deyuan smiled and motioned for the two to sit down, saying, "You underestimate me too much. One of you won't let me open the door, and the other comes to see me every now and then. Am I so vulnerable in your eyes?"

Bai Yiyi scratched her head in embarrassment, then she remembered to ask, "By the way, I just heard Shiji say that he was going on a long trip, did something happen?"

Ma Deyuan shook his head and explained, "It's nothing. The ghost tribe asked him to fetch something. Don't worry."

After hearing this, Bai Yiyi couldn't help but feel a little reluctant. She turned to Shiji and said, "You have to be careful. Don't fight hard when you encounter danger. I'll wait for you to come back to the academy."

"Yeah." Shiji responded softly, but her eyes did not turn to Bai Yiyi.

Gui Ge urged Shiji, who was still standing there, and said, "Brother, it's time for us to leave."

The figures of Shiji and Guige gradually disappeared from their sight.

Bai Yiyi looked at Shiji's back as she walked away, and a sense of inexplicable loss welled up in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes. Those beautiful moments in the past emerged one by one, making her reluctance to leave even stronger.

How she wished she could go with Shiji, but she knew that Shiji had her own path in life to follow, and they were just friends, with no further ties.

A new journey is about to begin, what kind of encounters will we encounter this time?

After leaving them, Gui Ge used a magic circle to teleport the two of them directly to the holy land of the Demon Realm - the Moonlight Forest.

"I'm sorry, brother. I can only take you here. I can't accompany you." Gui Ge said apologetically. She wanted to go with her brother, but she was powerless and could only pray silently for her brother's safety.

Shiji raised her hand, gently touched Guige's hair, and comforted her: "It's okay, don't worry, it's not a farewell forever, I will be back soon."

"Then I'll wait here for you, brother!" Gui Ge felt much better after being touched on the head. He looked up at Shi Ji and said happily.

Shiji stepped into the Moonlight Forest. Just as its name suggests, the trees in the forest were crisscrossed and blocked the light from the sky. However, the forest did not feel eerie or scary, but instead gave people a peaceful and comfortable feeling. It seemed that if you could have a good dream if you took a nap here, you could not help but smile sweetly.

Darkness did not cover the moonlight forest. Instead, it had its own light that was warm and comforting.

There are many elves living here. When Shiji walked into this moonlight land, the elves sensed a strange atmosphere and rushed to join in the fun.

"What kind of creature is this? It looks like a human." An elf chirped.

"I don't know, but it should be a human." Another elf said secretly while hiding behind a small tree.

The elf standing on the branch saw the carrier pigeon elf following Shiji and said in confusion: "Hey, why is the carrier pigeon following him? How strange."

Hearing what the elves said, Shiji stopped.

He turned around and looked at the carrier pigeon elf flapping its little wings.

The carrier pigeon elf was very beautiful, with bright and fluffy feathers. She blinked her round eyes at Shiji.

"Excuse me, do you know where the Elf King is?" Shiji stretched out his hand, indicating that the carrier pigeon elf could rest in his hand.

The carrier pigeon elf didn't understand what Shiji meant, but her feet still fell into Shiji's palm.

"Can you understand what we are saying?" The pigeon elf was a little surprised and did not answer Shiji's question for a while.

"I can understand." Shiji replied.

"I know the location of the Elf King. I can take you to find him." The carrier pigeon elf flapped its wings, trying to attract Shiji's attention.

As soon as Shiji came in, the carrier pigeon elf hurried over. She smelled a familiar scent on Shiji and couldn't help but follow him.

"Thank you for your help. If the journey is long, you can rest on my shoulder for a while." Shiji said.

After telling the general direction, the pigeon spirit flew to Shiji's shoulder. On the way, the pigeon spirit asked, "Can you tell me your name?"

"My surname is Chu and my given name is Xiao. Chu is the Chu of Chu State and Xiao is the Xiao of brave." Shiji thought for a while and said. For some reason, he didn't want to mention Chu State this time, but he still said it out loud.

"Then can I call you Mr. Chu?" asked the pigeon elf.

Shiji shook his head slightly, fearing that the movement would be too large and would affect the carrier pigeon elf on his shoulder.

"No, you are very good to me, we should address each other as friends, not as those free-spirited playboys." Shiji said, he did not like this title.

"Well then, I won't call you Mr. Chu anymore." When the carrier pigeon elf heard Shiji's refusal, its head drooped instantly, and an unhappy mood spread between the two people and the elf.

"Pfft, are you unhappy?" Shiji was amused by the pigeon elf's appearance. How could someone be unhappy just because a name was rejected? (End of this chapter)
