The ghost elves on the island told Ju Caoye that humans would light incense and pray if they wanted to let people in another world understand their grief.
He said hello to Mai who was coming home, and used coquettishness to drag away Kuruga, who was wagging his tail at Luther, and finally found some incense for Aoi's celebration in the warehouse.
Chrysanthemum grass leaf lit a stick of incense with the help of Hei Lujia. Looking at the rising smoke, he closed his eyes and tried to put his thoughts into it.
The chrysanthemum leaf that huddled in the tree hole, counting the fruits, happily thinking that the forest was the whole world, took on a new identity during an encounter.
This identity kept changing, and finally became a member of Qidao.
The days when he had to run around for food and clothing and worry about his own safety were gone forever. He could live a carefree and carefree life.
When I got up, I took the sleepy lily root doll to look at the sea. Then I flicked my vine whip and pulled the elf sleeping on the shore to my side, and started a day of mischief.
Fishing is no longer interesting, Manafei will lead them out to sea, watching the whole sea water boiling with white foam, and one after another water elves rising from the deep sea, leaving a stunning glimpse in the field of vision.
If they want to take risks, Wind Speed Dog will lead them into the undeveloped East District to experience the atmosphere of the most primitive period of the island.
Seeing Luther and the others, with a hook of the cane whip, he could act coquettishly in their arms and be kissed indiscriminately.
Luther said that all this was fate. Jucaoye didn't understand the deep meaning before, but now he understands.
His fate should have been interrupted when he couldn't catch up with Luther while carrying the fruit. His fate might also have been that he was injured or had an accident on the way back.
Or maybe the cold winter is coming, and there is not enough food to satisfy the hunger, and finally disappear quietly in a corner of the woods.
As he grew up, he gradually became more sensible, and he was able to better understand the mood of Big Beak and Bi Diao when they placed their best wishes on him.
Those were two aging elves telling her about the beauty of the world to the newly born girl. They were also pulling a thread of fate, tying themselves to Luther and Mai.
Let the fate that should be broken be tightly tied together and never be separated again.
After telling about her joy and happiness every day, Ju Caoye closed her eyes again.
"Please wish the owl good health and live longer than you."
"Allow me to be a little greedy...by the way, I wish Luther and Mai good health."
"Can you be a little more greedy... I want to bless the lily root doll..."
"If you are any more greedy, the elves on the island will also..."
The "greedy" Ju Caoye was afraid that such a prayer would be insincere, so he simply reread it several times in his mind.
It wasn't until the incense burned out that the chrysanthemum leaves left with satisfaction.

Luther, who was pulled out by Heiluga, saw all this from a distance, hugging Mai's shoulders and watching silently.
Seeing that the chrysanthemum leaf had been silent for such a long time in front of the incense and looked so pious, I couldn't help but clapped my hands and made a wish for good health for the chrysanthemum leaf.
Qidao is still very quiet tonight. Mai, Huoyan and Aoi, who have returned, have no intention of celebrating New Year's Eve. No one turns on the TV in the villa.
No one went to the New Year's Eve party. Everyone was actively assisting Acerola and Shijana in decorating every corner of the villa to make it have a New Year's atmosphere.
Luther was cooperating with Miaomiao to hang lanterns, and Akui found him.
In a quiet corner, Akui expressed her worries frankly.
"The temperature is still dropping, the fruit trees on the island are already showing signs of necrosis, and some wild elves are beginning to be unable to withstand the severe cold."
"Later, the wild elves have begun to join together to keep warm. According to my observations during this period, the elves who dug the cave are unconditionally accepting other elves to enter, and are beginning to share the harvested tree fruits."
This is the aftermath of this year's bumper fruit harvest. Food is unprecedentedly abundant, so the elves only need to think about how to survive the severe cold.
The former is not very optimistic. No matter how hard Aoi and Spathiphyllum try, even the fire elves can't fight against the cold waves one after another.
Luther consoled him: "Didn't we say about the fruit trees? If they are necrotic, we can buy tree seeds to plant. Now that there is money on the island, we don't need to exchange for such expensive things as favors. We can buy them."
This year's surplus gives Luther a lot of confidence to speak, but even if it is a deficit, Luther should make the same decision.
What else can be done?
Do you want to continue to be unhappy?
The New Year is coming soon, so don’t let bad news and bad mood accompany the New Year. This is the most important thing.
It seems that Tianwei is overestimating his ability to resist with human power. In this case, just let it go and make amends later.
Akui was still frozen in place. She crossed her fingers and rubbed her thumbs continuously. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said something that made Luther not sure how to make a decision.
"Can you use Groudon's power a little bit..."
Akui did not continue speaking, but looked at Luther's face.
"Groudon is sleeping," Luther said.
"It's not that he's asleep, he's completely half asleep!" Aoi explained excitedly, "I made a map of the movement trajectory of Groudon's volcanic island after he fell asleep, and found that his volcanic island is constantly approaching the island.
"
"Maybe it's normal drifting?" Luther decided to explain in a more reasonable way.
"This summer, extremely terrifying hurricanes appeared along the coasts of various regions. Waterspouts were also born near Qidao, but each waterspout disintegrated before it even approached Qidao."
"coincide?"
"Will the same coincidence happen on the volcanic island? It was calm near the volcanic island. After a blazing sun shined through, even the dark clouds surrounding the island were dispersed."
Luther could no longer deny the possibility that Akui said existed.
Groudon did not enter a deep sleep this time, but was half asleep and half awake, and he seemed to take the promise very seriously like the mythical beast in ancient times.
You promise that I will not be disturbed, and I will protect your peace.
It's better to say it's a transaction than a mutual recognition.
But Luther was still unwilling to make the decision to let Groudon assist Qidao. He had always been cautious about asking for the power of powerful divine beasts.
On the one hand, there is the fear of dependence in the future.
The second reason is that he is worried that asking for it will make the other party feel resentful. This kind of thing has happened too many times in ancient times.
"Let me think about it and I'll give you the answer in two days."
Knowing that Luther could not make a decision all at once, Akui did not continue talking and left.
Looking at the snowy courtyard, Luther felt a little confused.
He found that this decision seemed much harder than many decisions he had made before.
