I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

On the streets, everyone is actively participating in the reconstruction of the Gospel District.

The large number of people who came to support saw that there was no need for bloodshed and sacrifice, so they worked harder than each other.

The dead cannot be resurrected, so the buildings can be destroyed and rebuilt. Anyway, there are monster remains everywhere. These things are more valuable than treasures and are extremely valuable. They can save a lot of money for the reconstruction of the gospel area.

Since Mei Carlos and others unanimously decided to conceal the truth about the demon disaster in the second half of the night, from the outside world's perspective, the disaster that occurred last night was just thousands of monsters attacking Liuguang City at the same time, and the weather was slightly extreme.

Therefore, the Knights, who had only participated in the suppression of monsters and the protection of civilian evacuation, as well as the rest of the remaining personnel, naturally received a large amount of rewards.

Especially the Knights, who had gone through a life-and-death contest, and whose spoiled bad habits as noble young masters had been mostly gone, and in the baptism of honor and blood, they had transformed into true warriors, completely getting rid of the label of "waste knights".

Fortunately, their appearance did not change drastically overnight, otherwise it would be difficult for the people of Liuguang City to connect the appearance of these knights fighting bloody battles with their previous arrogance and domineering behavior.

During the disaster, Ru Jing not only directed the evacuation of the people, but also maintained the barrier. Afterwards, he had a fierce battle with Jing Fan. He was so exhausted that he fell down, and couldn't get up for a while.

Muxu, who stuck to her all day, was in high spirits. Not only did he not show any sign of loneliness during this period, but he was in high spirits. It was unknown what he was busy with, and he greeted everyone in the city.

It was only after careful questioning that Manjushage realized that the excuses used by Fanyin and Doyle were true. Mushu had indeed entrusted them with an important task, and in order not to hinder the reconstruction of the gospel district, he deliberately avoided the rescue team and only sought help from outsiders.

By the way, Count Dracula is not suitable to stay in crowded places, so he went back as soon as the matter was over.

Mekaros wanted to find an opportunity to thank him, but Dracula William only said that he should let the residents know that he had been there, and there was no need to mention his identity as a vampire, otherwise he would most likely be considered to be in cahoots with Grusel.

Considering the special identity of vampires, Carlos agreed to this request.

However, she believed that no one would care even if Count Dracula's identity was revealed. The most eye-catching thing was the giant orange tree growing out of the collapsed bell tower.

The trunk of this tree is extremely thick, at least it would take dozens of people to hug it with their hands, not to mention the part above the trunk that is submerged in the clouds. It can be regarded as another miracle that belongs to Liuguang City after the clock tower.

Zhong Ling Shengyin brings strength to people with her singing and tells her entire story, making many people believe that this giant tree is the embodiment of her will.

They believed that both Liu Guang and Zhong Ling Sheng Yin would guard this city forever.

Manjushage learned from Lilith that the giant tree was the seed of the World Tree, called the Gospel Tree, but she had no idea how it appeared or what its function was.

The neighboring country of Gettys used to have a giant tree with a permanent magical glow at its top, but the country sank into the sea a year ago and the tree disappeared along with it.

Just at this moment, Catherine came towards them, accompanied by a mature and charming man. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Echo.

Before, Manjushage could never imagine that these two people would walk side by side. Perhaps something happened in between that allowed Echo to finally face Catherine calmly and no longer choose to escape.

"Mr. Luo Shiqi, Miss Manjushage." The two of them bowed respectfully and said, "Thanks to your timely help, we were able to be saved."

"Thank you." Manjusaka really wanted to know their current situation, but considering that their good friend Zhong Ling Shengyin had just left, she had to smile and change the subject: "Catherine, do you know the gospel tree?"

"I seem to have seen it in ancient books." She pondered and said, "It is a special giant tree. When it grows, it brings vitality to the surrounding environment. If it withers, the thieves will in turn absorb all the vitality until it disappears completely."

After that, she looked at the giant orange tree that towered into the sky not far away and said, "It's very similar to that. The Gospel Tree is the seedling of the World Tree, and the Holy Spirit is the seed spreader. When the giant tree grows up, it symbolizes the departure of a Holy Spirit."

"Sorry for bringing up your sad story." said Manjushage.

"It's nothing." Catherine smiled and shook her head. "The Holy Spirit is the darling of the world. As long as she still cares about the world, there is hope for resurrection. Like everyone else, I think Zhong Ling cannot abandon this city."

"Besides," she held the green cone-shaped pendant around her neck in her hand, "maybe she never left, but just stayed by our side in a different way."

Hui Ying at the side smiled and nodded: "Her singing has penetrated into everyone's heart. When walking on the street, you can always hear someone humming that ancient and mysterious ballad. It feels like Zhong Ling has always been there and has never left."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and said: "I heard that Rujing just woke up. She should be with Muxu at this time, right?"

Manjushage immediately understood: "I almost forgot, we promised to help him."

"Me too." Catherine and Echo said in unison.

The two of them were stunned at first, then smiled at each other: "In this case, why don't we go together."

"With great pleasure."

"How can we miss such an interesting scene?"

Manzhu Shahua and Luo Shiqi confirmed each other's eyes.

After reaching a consensus, the four of them walked together into the depths of the street.

"Mushu, are you okay? Are you still in pain?" As soon as Ru Jing woke up, she ran to Mushu as fast as she could and asked about his health, but he just smiled and asked her to talk while walking.

"Your mirror world trick is really powerful. I feel full of strength now." Mushu said elegantly, calmly and full of energy.

"Originally there was no chance of success, but under the circumstances, this was the only way." Ru Jing lowered her head, obviously blaming herself: "In fact, I had a vague feeling before that Jing Fan's real body was me. As long as I was still here, she couldn't disappear."

Mu Xu was stunned: "So living towards death means that while saving me, you will kill yourself?"

"Not entirely. If it were me in the past, when I discovered this fact, I would definitely choose to commit suicide without hesitation and die together with Jing Fan."

She smiled bitterly and said, "But it is precisely because of meeting you that I love myself from the bottom of my heart, accept myself, fear death, and constantly seek hope for life. I am not giving up my life. On the contrary, I want to live with you more than anyone else. Running towards death is to live better."

Mushu held her in his arms distressedly: "That must be very painful."

"It's nothing. Didn't you almost die trying to save me?" Ru Jing said unwillingly.

Hearing this, Muxu smiled and said, "You are right. From now on, we must take good care of ourselves and never get hurt easily."

Feeling his warm embrace, Rujing smiled and said, "I can't guarantee that I will be safe and sound in the future."

"Of course, so I will do my best to protect you and prevent you from getting hurt again." After saying that, Mushu hugged her tighter.

Rujing's heart burned with heat. Her delicate body trembled violently and she quickly got out of Muxu's arms: "Don't say that. I'll be embarrassed..."

Rujing covered her chest with her hands, her heart beating wildly.

Her cheeks became more and more rosy, and she was very excited by Mushu's bold words that were almost like a declaration of love and proposal.

"Then let me put it another way," Muxu calmly watched the person in front of him slip away from his arms, but his eyes were firm with a certain belief: "Do you know why I returned to the king last time?"

"Ask for help." Rujing replied.

"Unfortunately, you only answered half of it correctly." Mu Xu looked at Rujing's pretty face with a hint of girlish tenderness with ardent eyes: "Besides that, I also went back home to discuss with my parents about marrying you."

"I... I'm sorry..." Rujing avoided everyone's gaze and finally ran away in a hurry after saying these words.
