Strange Cards

Chapter 412 The Golden Tree Representing Hope

Yu Yan was stunned for a moment, while the pattern of the Ace of Spades had already appeared in Shi Yu's palm.

After regaining half of the spade power, all the spade cards returned to their full strength.

The reconstruction of the Ace of Spades has also become a completely new capability, namely, manifestation.

It can create anything, even things that have never existed before, or things that don't even exist in this world.

Once you have an idea, you can create it.

While Yu Yan was still wondering if the golden tree Shi Yu mentioned was the loquat tree, Shi Yu had already tossed her a glittering golden seed.

The golden seed landed steadily in Yu Yan's hand. Yu Yan felt the lingering warmth on it and was about to say something when Shi Yu spoke up.

"This is a golden tree that represents hope. Plant it in the middle of your yard when you get back."

"It will grow golden branches, golden leaves, and golden fruit."

"We will meet again at that time."

"Please pass on a message for her."

"I told you..."

I miss her so much.

After Shi Yu finished speaking, she walked outside, and Yu Yan waved in the direction Shi Yu left.

"Hey! Shigure!"

"Please be careful in the future!"

"You must live well!"

Shigure paused in her departing steps, then raised her right hand and waved in the direction her back was turned.

Even though their identities are now opposing, even though they are no longer the comrades who once fought side by side,

Even if one is a human and the other is a ghost.

But now, they are friends.

At least for now.

……

Gu Nian looked at the four people in front of him who had suffered injuries of varying degrees, raised his hand and released his power to heal them.

Kuang Lei, who was more seriously injured, withdrew from the treatment area. Before leaving, he pushed Ye Xue towards Gu Nian.

"Boss, I'm fine."

"Let's treat Xiaoxue first."

"We were able to get back on this trip thanks to her."

Gu Nian shook his head, then expanded the treatment area to include Kuang Lei as well.

"It's alright, come in with me."

"You're the one who's most seriously injured; you probably even fought the Joker, right?"

Kuang Lei remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"That guy is amazing."

"Almost, just a little bit short."

"If it weren't for the sissy and Sister Cangli coming out to block that blow for me..."

"I'm doomed."

When Zhao Guang heard Kuang Lei call him a sissy, he was about to retort when he started coughing.

"Crazy Lei, go to hell!"

"I shouldn't have stepped forward to take that hit for you. I saved you and now you call me a sissy."

"You deserve to die!"

Gu Nian ignored their bickering and looked at Cang Li, whom he trusted most.

"Cang Li, you speak."

"What exactly did you see this time?"

Cang Li coughed lightly, spitting out the blood in her mouth before speaking.

"Inside a snow-capped mountain, within a massive layer of ice."

"There was a giant ape trapped in the ice, but it didn't seem to have died inside the ice."

"Like someone who is asleep and has not yet been awakened."

"I heard its heartbeat."

Looking at the four people in front of him who were exhausted, Gu Nian intensified the treatment.

"continue."

"I don't want anything outside the script to appear."

"What was the aura of that giant ape?"

Cang Li remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

"If my guess is correct..."

Even if the breathing is unstable, it's as if they've just crossed that threshold.

"That is a true calamity-level ghost king."

"Boss, your Cataclysmic level strength has a special aura that I can sense."

"You have it, Jie has it, and the Joker has it too."

"And that giant ape also exuded the same aura as you."

"Very faint, yet very real."

"..."

Gu Nian raised one hand to treat them, while gently tapping the armrest of the chair with the other.

After a long while, Gu Nian spoke.

"You all stay here and focus on healing your injuries. Once you're fully recovered..."

"Cang Li, go and tell Chun to keep an eye on the boundary."

"We must keep a close eye on him for a while and restrict his movements a bit."

"Let him stay in Nanhai City, don't let him leave there."

"I'll arrange the next steps."

"A huge mess has happened."

After Gu Nian finished speaking, he stopped talking and simply began to treat the four people in front of him.

……

Upon returning to the Hunter's Den, Yu Yan did not appear dejected. Instead, she summoned Liu Yu and handed him the seeds of the Golden Tree.

"Here, this is for you from your brother Shiyu."

"These are seeds of the golden tree, the golden tree that represents hope."

"He told you to plant this tree, saying that someday in the future, after the golden tree grows up..."

"You will meet again under the tree."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu quickly found a shovel and a watering can, dug a small hole in the center of the yard, and buried the golden seed in it.

As Liu Yu's small hands were rummaging through the soil, just as she had covered the tree seed with soil and loosened it with her hands, she noticed that the watering can next to her suddenly flew up and began to water the place where the golden tree had been buried.

Liu Yu turned her head and saw that it was Qi Nannan watering the plants with the watering can.

After noticing Liu Yu looking at her, Qi Nannan returned a sweet smile and then put down the watering can.

The two found a white wooden fence to surround the golden tree, then found calico and tabby cats and asked them to tell the cats not to come near. They then hung a timer sign on the fence.

Liu watched the time ticking away on the fence, then quietly looked at the small mound of earth.

She hoped that by tomorrow, the golden tree would appear outside.

And beneath the tree was the person he longed for.

At this moment, Qi Nannan went home and got two small wooden plaques strung together with red rope, and handed one of them to Liu Yudao.

"Xiao Jiu".

Let's write down our wishes here.

"When this tree grows up, my wish will surely come true."

Liu Yu nodded, and then wrote down her wish on the small wooden sign.

Qi Nannan quickly wrote down her wish and then tied the small wooden plaque up.

After blowing the ink off the small wooden plaque, the two hung it on the inside of the wooden fence, then put their hands together and prayed that the wishes on the plaque would come true.

Qi Nannan's wish is simple: that everyone is safe and well.

Liu Yu's wish became even simpler: she wanted someone to always be by her side.

Meanwhile, that person was standing on a tall building not far away, quietly watching what was happening inside.
