Chapter 383: The Millennium Willow Spirit
Zhang Jingxu found himself at a loss for words, silenced by the green-clad young girl’s retort.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xing decided to step in and salvage the situation. After all, the green-clad young girl had already admitted to being a mythical creature, so Liu Xing had no need to worry about startling her with mental communication.
With determination, Liu Xing approached the green-clad young girl and spoke, "Hello, I am Watanabe Ryuusei. It’s a pleasure to meet you. May I have the honor of knowing your name?"
The green-clad young girl chuckled and replied, "Since you’ve put it that way, I suppose I should give you some face. My name is Green Willow. You can simply call me by that name. I believe you can guess my true form, can’t you? But speaking of that, Ryuusei, your ability for mental communication, it must have been taught to you by that silly fox, right?"
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow. He knew that Green Willow, as a mythical creature, must be much older than him, probably even older than his grandmother. So being called "little brother" by Green Willow was quite flattering. However, Green Willow’s current appearance was extremely youthful, which did put some psychological pressure on Liu Xing.
Of course, there was no need to guess Green Willow’s true form; it was undoubtedly a willow tree.
But what surprised Liu Xing was Green Willow’s reference to Hu Li as a "silly fox." This implied that Green Willow’s abilities were superior to Hu Li’s. Otherwise, Green Willow wouldn’t be so casually teasing Hu Li. It also seemed that Green Willow and Hu Li had a good relationship.
Therefore, Liu Xing now considered Green Willow to be on a similar level to the Black Flood Dragon.
Thinking this, Liu Xing quickly adjusted his attitude and smiled, saying, "I see. Well, I have a question for you, Senior Green Willow. Do you happen to know the current situation in Panlong Town?"
Green Willow nodded and pointed to a nearby noodle shop, saying, "Don’t call me ’senior’; it makes me sound old. So, from now on, you must address me by my name directly. Otherwise, don’t blame me if we have a falling out. Also, standing here and chatting isn’t very convenient. Let’s find a place to sit down first."
After Green Willow finished speaking, she took the lead and entered the noodle shop, then casually found a table and sat down.
Liu Xing and the others exchanged glances and followed Green Willow, taking their seats as well.
Liu Xing sat across from Green Willow and initially thought about ordering some noodles. After all, they were all sitting in someone else’s establishment, so it seemed appropriate to order something to eat.
However, to Liu Xing’s surprise, the owner of the noodle shop seemed completely oblivious to their presence and had no intention of serving them. It was as if the owner and the other customers couldn’t see Liu Xing and his group at all.
Liu Xing furrowed his brow and was about to speak when Green Willow interrupted, "Ryuusei, you don’t need to worry about the other people in this noodle shop. They are all soulless automatons, incapable of perceiving us. In fact, they will completely ignore any living beings within a five-meter radius of me, unless you actively engage with them."
Liu Xing nodded as if he understood but wasn’t entirely sure, then spoke, "So, Green Willow, do you have information about the situation in Panlong Town?"
Liu Xing nodded awkwardly because he knew that Green Willow was indirectly admitting to her own lack of strength...
However, Liu Xing quickly regained his composure and thought of a question, "By the way, since you mentioned that most of the residents in Panlong Town have already turned into walking corpses, does that mean there is still a small portion of them who retain their intelligence?"
Green Willow smiled and nodded, saying, "That’s right, in Panlong Town, there are still some people who have retained their souls, like Xiao Mochen, Zhong Rensan, and Silly Fox. Although, thinking about it now, Silly Fox is indeed a silly fox. As a fox spirit, how could it lose its sanity and get trapped in an illusion? It’s quite embarrassing."
Just as Green Willow finished speaking, a familiar voice echoed from behind Liu Xing, "Wow, Green Willow, don’t you know it’s impolite to speak ill of others behind their backs?"
Liu Xing turned around and saw Hu Li... of all things.
Avoiding an indecent gaze, Liu Xing quickly turned back, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Green Willow naturally noticed Liu Xing’s subtle reaction, but she chose not to point it out. Instead, she addressed Hu Li, "Silly Fox, who gave you the right to call me ’Green Willow’ in front of outsiders?"
Hu Li pursed her lips, somewhat helpless, and said, "Green Willow, can you stop making a fuss? You’ve already told Mr. Ryuusei about your situation, so why would you feel embarrassed if I call you ’Green Willow’ instead of ’sister’?"
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, barely holding back his laughter. He hadn’t expected Green Willow to request that Hu Li call her ’sister.’
Hu Li sat down next to Green Willow and asked, "Green Willow, why didn’t you come to warn me about the situation in Panlong Town, now that you know about it?"
Green Willow shook her head, somewhat resigned, and said, "I couldn’t do anything about it before. While I could sense what was happening in Panlong Town, I couldn’t enter it. But just now, I suddenly realized that I could enter Panlong Town, so I did. Initially, I planned to come and find you directly, but I noticed that you had already regained your memories and had discovered Ryuusei and the others, so I decided not to approach you immediately. After all, once you remembered, you would know that I had arrived."
Hu Li nodded and smiled, "Initially, I hadn’t remembered you, but the moment you appeared in Panlong Town, all the memories came flooding back, along with many other things."
Green Willow was about to speak but suddenly fell silent.
After a while, she spoke with a serious expression, "There seems to be some unusual activity on Gralki’s side. I must go check Panlong Lake now. So, from here on out, it’s up to you, Silly Fox. You and the others must eliminate all the troll zombies and the like in Panlong Town because each of them carries a part of the ’key’ that can allow us to enter Panlong Lake."
