Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Zuo Chang was not surprised at all: "Tang Yuan."

Could it be——

From the very beginning?!

Jiuyao instinctively took a step back and shouted, "Who are you?"

Zuo Chang looked at Zhen Gong: "You're only at the sixth realm, yet you can monitor such a large area?"

That's really unexpected!

"now what?"

Mayumi squinted and asked, "Who won?"

The only one who remained calm was Zuo Chang.

Tang Yuan's expression was calm, and a silver-white steel spike slipped out of his sleeve.

The steel spikes pierced his heart, and the golden thunder vanished without a trace.

He looked at the terrain destroyed by Mayumi and nodded, saying, "Not bad! Tang Yuan, thank you for your hard work. Go and collect the body parts to use as fertilizer. The extra effects of the Seed of Humanity are quite good; Mayumi needs them."

Connor thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

"..."

not understand!

It does not make sense?

Mayumi's beautiful eyes widened, and her red lips parted slightly.

How far away is that person from us?

Jiuyao even suspected that the physical rules governing this rocky beach were unique, otherwise how could such a spectacle exist?

"Your Excellency, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Tang Yuan's eyes lit up; he seemed to have found a kindred spirit. "Yes, yes. You're right. I've just joined a new team, and I also want to achieve something and try to leave a good impression on Captain Zuo!"

Jiuyao squinted at him, lightning gathering in his palm: "Where is the Yaotai True Bow?"

Tang Yuan, who was dragging Jiu Yao's corpse over, no longer had a smile on his face.

Mayumi shook her head: "He should be at the seventh level, I can't do that."

Tang Yuan is not only a "visitor from the upper realm," but was also specifically sent to Zuo Chang's side by the Holy Maiden of Time, so his abilities are probably exceptionally outstanding.

Zuo Chang activated his blessing, greatly enhancing the strength of the true bow.

He looked at Makoto as if he were looking at a monster.

Mayumi also looked at Zuo Chang, and she seemed a little dissatisfied: "Father, I am at least a genius... I don't really like your surprise. You should face up to my talent."

All that could be seen was the mighty river surging forward, rushing in like a tidal wave, as if it wanted to swallow everything up.

Whoever possesses greater talent, puts in more effort, and has the firmest resolve will have the last laugh.

Zuo Chang said in a serious tone, "I've eaten and seen it all, you can trust me."

Jiuyao was slightly taken aback and quickly turned his head to look. He was surprised to see a slightly chubby man standing to one side with a kind smile on his face.

He can't see anything.

She turned her head and looked at a dense forest: "Father, the 'elf' told me that there seems to be someone hiding there."

Connor, who was walking in front, raised his hand and stopped Jiu Yao.

A voice came from one side.

"……ha!"

Tang Yuan patted his palms: "As I just said, my name is 'Tang Yuan'. You don't need to be so nervous. The Whispering Forest is friendly. We won't be punished if we die here. Relax, just treat it as a game."

She looked at the folding fan in her hand, horrified by the power of her magic;

A moment later, the cold silver light overwhelmed the brilliant golden lightning.

Mayumi blinked: "Really?"

He rubbed his hands together like a fly and continued, "My name is Tang Yuan. May I ask your esteemed surname?"

"My power. You are now enhanced beyond recognition. Cast the spell and kill him."

Connor Judd, who was hiding in the bushes, realized the danger. He abandoned his stealth and turned around to run for his life, leaping thirty or fifty meters away in the blink of an eye!

only……

The plan has been decided.

Zuo Chang looked at her: "An elf?"

Jiuyao didn't look away; he dared not relax: "Mr. Tang, what you said is right, but also wrong. There is indeed no loss in dying in the Whispering Forest, but 'failure' always comes at a price... I must achieve something because I have just joined a new team! If I fail on my first attempt, I think that would not be a good thing."

Tang Yuan replied blankly, "Okay, I'll go."

The Sands of Deception and all means of exceeding the limit must be implemented within the domain, not within the community.

Within the community, there may be things that exceed the limit, but they cannot "actively attack" and their "activities are restricted".

Some readers commented that they didn't understand this chapter, and I admit I didn't explain it clearly either, so I'll explain it here.

Chapter 166 You Need to Think This Through

In the Gift Game: Whispering Forest, quests are reciprocal.

The fact that the Gluttons and others dragged the corpse of the True Bow back can greatly accelerate their own construction; the fact that Zuo Chang and others successfully defended can also improve the growth rate of the Seed of Humanity.

Tang Yuan picked up the scattered body parts and placed them next to the tree seed.

Those body parts turned into streams of light and merged into the Seed of Humanity along with the body of Daoist Jiuyao.

Immediately, the seedling, which was originally less than an inch tall, grew wildly, reaching about 1.7 meters in a single breath, almost the same height as Mayumi.

Waves of pure energy spread out, nourishing the bodies of everyone present.

Mayumi carefully sensed it and smiled, "Father, it seems that the Seed of Humanity really does have the power to enhance one's abilities."

This is natural.

The Seed of Humanity has the miraculous effect of cleansing the body and reshaping the soul. Adventurers don't need to do anything; they can simply stand under the tree and their cultivation will naturally increase, and they will gain new talents.

The previous attack by the real bow had given Tang Yuan a great shock.

He originally thought that a young talent like him should stay at headquarters to develop, but being sent out, especially to a remote place like "96511", seemed like a punishment!

Before setting off, Tang Yuan couldn't help but ask his mentor, Professor Dang Jue, if he had done something wrong or inadvertently offended someone, which was why he had ended up in this situation.

But Professor Dang clearly told him:

"If you can't guarantee Her Majesty's position, why should our Church of Time help you? Right?"

"Okay, then I'll just tell you."

He watched as the man sat cross-legged under the Tree of Humanity, meditating and trying his best to absorb the True Bow that was enhancing and refining himself, and fell into silence.

He put his hands in his pockets and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

At this point, there's no point in dwelling on who's right and who's wrong.

"You two recognized each other?"

To be honest, I really haven't thought it through.

How could Zuo Chang know that it wasn't a game, and how could he have known that he would run into the game?

Tang Yuan quickly realized what was happening. He gestured with his hand and said, "General Zuo, please."

This guy keeps calling me "Father," what exactly is his relationship with Zuo Chang?

Judging from their appearances, Zhen Gong and Zuo Chang are about the same age, so they are probably not related by blood.

Zuo Chang answered truthfully, "I haven't decided yet."

He looked at Mayumi and said, "As for this Miss Mayumi... whether she can continue to be your stepdaughter depends on the Holy Maiden's approval. If she is willing, that would be wonderful; if she does not agree, I think... you should keep your distance from Miss Mayumi."

Tang Yuan stated their demands.

So what's going on now?

If General Jianli is still alive, then wouldn't the identity of the Holy Maiden of Time become—

"Oh...who is her mother?"

Tang Yuan couldn't contain himself and asked, "General Zuo, is this Miss Mayumi your daughter? You seem to take great care of her."

He looked at the slightly overweight man in front of him and asked, "What's wrong with it? What's careless about it?"

He remained silent, but Tang Yuan could not.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Regardless of the Holy Maiden of Time's own wishes, it would be difficult for an ordinary member of the reading club like Tang Yuan to easily accept their leader becoming someone else's concubine!

But an even bigger question arises!

what happened?

Tang Yuan licked his lips: "So... you're saying you intend to acknowledge your relationship with General Misato, to acknowledge her as your wife and Mayumi as your stepdaughter?"

Zuo Chang found it interesting.

"How about that?"

Oh?

Zuo Chang's smile slowly lost its warmth.

Zuo Chang listened quietly, smiling without saying a word.

Zuo Chang didn't even look up: "Zhen Gong is my stepdaughter."

"Ah."

She's a concubine?!
