On the other side, seeing the young man lost in thought, Jun Qianjing also came back to his senses.

She was clearly needed, but when the boy needed her, she couldn’t help at all…

She thought to herself, clenched her fists slightly, and bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was fighting something.

Finally, driven by her inner emotions, she couldn’t help but take a step forward and opened her mouth slightly.

“Well, I…”

“Can you give me your hand?”

Just then, Xia Zhi suddenly said.

Although I don’t know what the boy is going to do, this is easy to do.

Jun Qianjing breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, stretched out his right hand, and gently placed it in his palm.

Feeling the slightly cool softness coming from the palm of his hand, Xia Zhi held the girl’s small hand in his.

Let’s go back to the previous question.

If the brave girls cannot come to that special world because their connection with the sacred tree is not strong enough,

Well, isn’t it enough to just make this connection stronger?

“Jun Qianjing.”

He took a deep breath, looked into the girl’s eyes, and asked:

“Will you be my hero?”

……Several.

Chapter 1071 It’s not considered ntr this time, right?

When Jun Qianjing heard the young man calling his full name, which was rare, he was stunned for a moment.

After hearing Xia Zhi’s next words, she became even more confused.

Am I not your hero now?

I originally wanted to ask this.

But looking at the boy’s serious eyes, she suddenly realized that there might be an “essential” difference here.

“……Um.”

Without asking any more questions, Jun Qianjing took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

After getting the girl’s consent, Xia Zhi first launched a small “sealing ceremony” to avoid causing riots on the street.

The flames of the stars rose up and turned into a solid wall that enveloped the space around the two people.

A magic-like geometric array expanded and surrounded the room “730”. A bright red space descended, freezing time and space.

Looking at the bright red world around him that suddenly came to a stop, Jun Qianjing’s eyes showed a look of surprise.

She turned around and looked at the boy as if she wanted to ask something, but found that he had closed his eyes.

What Xia Zhi wants to do is very simple.

In the world three hundred years later, the heroes do not lack “methods” to deepen their connection with the sacred tree. For example, Sonoko was once known as the hero closest to the gods.

By continuously blooming and sacrificing one’s body to the sacred tree, one can obtain a demigod body that is closer and closer to the god. In essence, this is a process of gradually assimilating with the god.

Of course, the summer solstice cannot let them experience the process of continuous blooming again.

…Or rather, he has a one-step solution.

After all, there are two heroes around him who have been thoroughly baptized by divine power and completely assimilated into the bodies of gods.

In the past, the summer solstice and the sacred tree were of course two completely different things.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any claim that I had… snatched the garden away from me.

However, Congyun has now become the new sacred tree, completely replacing the original sacred tree.

But don’t forget that Congyun, who considers himself to be Xiazhi’s subordinate god, has divine power that constitutes his own existence after his rebirth, but it all comes from Xiazhi.

In other words, their powers originally came from the same source. In some ways, apart from her divinity, Congyun’s existence was not much different from that of Yuanzi and Dongxiang to Xiazhi.

Then think about it the other way around. When Congyun, who is of the same origin as me, has become a sacred tree, and my connection with her has become closer, it is equivalent to my connection with her becoming closer, right?

Thinking this, Xia Zhi gently held the girl’s hand and mobilized the strength in his body.

The next moment, a soft white light lit up and enveloped Jun Qianjing’s body.

Unlike the previous two times, Xia Zhi did not feel any resistance this time, and his power was easily integrated into the girl’s body.

Jun Qianjing could feel a very comfortable and warm feeling enveloping her body and flowing through her whole body, making her feel like she was immersed in a warm embrace.

“Um…uh…”

This overly comfortable feeling made her bite her teeth lightly, her cheeks slightly red as she couldn’t help but let out a moan. Her expression changed slightly, as if she was trying hard to endure something.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, just a moment later… at least in Jun Qianjing’s senses, the warm current flowing through his body quickly disappeared.

But…the warmth that filled my body did not disappear.

As the “seal” was lifted, the surrounding noise returned to my ears and the world resumed its functioning.

“Is there anything you’re not used to?” Xia Zhi looked at her and asked with concern.

“……I am fine.”

Jun Qianjing shook his head slightly

It should be said that it is better than ever before.

The girl lowered her head, looked at her left hand, and tried to clench her palm.

She could feel that the power flowing through her body was more abundant than ever before. Not only that, the connection between her and the boy in front of her became even closer, as if… he was always by her side.

At this moment, she finally understood what the boy meant when he asked her if she was willing to be his hero…

Indeed, there are “essential” differences.

“…Which one?” After taking a deep breath, Jun Qianjing raised his head and looked at the young man and asked.

“What?” Xia Zhi was slightly stunned.

“Which one am I?” Jun Qianjing looked into his eyes and continued to ask.

Xia Zhi finally realized what she wanted to ask, and after thinking for a while, he replied:

“In this era, there is only you for now.”

Without asking any more questions, Jun Qianjing withdrew his gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly into a beautiful arc.

I care about the order of things like a little kid.

Seeing the girl’s rare childish side, Xia Zhi sighed in his heart, but heard a familiar voice behind him.

“Summer Solstice!”

Yakuya walked out of the store and was happily greeting the boy waiting at the door, but suddenly noticed that the two were still holding hands, and he couldn’t help but tilt his head slightly.

“It hasn’t been long since I left, and Xia Zhi is already holding another girl’s hand. We really can’t let our guard down for even a moment.”

Xixian nodded: “I agree. Xiazhi attracts too much attention from girls, and he doesn’t respect himself at all. He will be easily seduced by other women and cheat.”

After thinking for a moment, she added, “Especially when the opponent has the advantage of the Yakushi style.”

Yakuya puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction: “Hey! What is the advantage of Yakuya style!?”

“Laughing. Yuigen originally thought that Yakuya should know the truth, after all, it was Yakuya who said it.”

“I wasn’t talking about boobs!”

“Point it out. Yui-chan didn’t say that… After all, this is Yui-chan’s advantage.”

Before the “foreign enemy” was eliminated, the two sisters started quarreling again.

“…”

So, the sentence added later is redundant.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

…….

Chapter 1072: Yejushi: This boy must have the guidance of an expert

While the two were “quarreling”, Xia Zhi, with the idea that “since we met each other anyway”, turned around and invited the brave girl to go shopping together.

Jun Qianjing seemed a little hesitant at first, but was then called away by a phone call.

Xia Zhi could hear Hinata’s voice coming from the microphone?

You care more about this than I thought, Hinata, he complained in his mind.

“It’s clearly a date between us, how could Xia Zhi let a third party interfere?”

Yajuya crossed his arms over his chest and said with a look of dissatisfaction.

“Correction. It’s the fourth person.”

Xixian corrected the mistakes in the girl’s words.

It seems that although they can accept each other, they don’t have such a high tolerance for other girls.

“…Would you like some milk tea?” After thinking about it, Xia Zhi made a suggestion.

Yakuya’s eyes lit up: “Great! I want the matcha flavor!”

“I agree. It would be nice if the evening string is the same as the summer solstice.”

Unlike her sister, Xi Xian showed enough cooperation and support, and at the same time was gentle and considerate without too many demands. Her girlfriend’s answer made Yakushi open his eyes wide.

“Ah! Xixian is so cunning! She actually used this method to win Xiazhi’s favor!”

“Refute. Xixian’s favorability in Xiazhi’s heart is already high enough, so there is no need to deliberately improve her favorability.” Xixian replied.

“Then I want to be like Xia Zhi!”

“Ridiculous. Yakushiya is acting like a little kid.”

“What did you say? You’re the same age as me!”

The two started arguing again.

……

In the end, Xia Zhi bought milk tea of ​​different flavors for the girls.

As for him, he bought himself a cappuccino.

Sitting on a bench in the park, Yajuya swung his legs gently, took a sip of the milk tea in the cup, and felt the sweet and delicious taste spreading in his mouth. His mood immediately improved.

Although it’s not matcha flavored, she still enjoys drinking it. It seems that she likes anything that tastes good.

While Xia Zhi was thinking, the girl next to him turned her attention to his hands.

“Can I have a sip?” Yajushi raised his head and looked at him, asking with anticipation in his eyes.

Xia Zhi did not refuse and handed the coffee in his hand to her.

“Be careful because it’s hot.”

“Got it.”

As Yakuya spoke, he carefully put the straw in his mouth. He didn’t know what he was thinking about, but his cheeks turned slightly red.

What does cappuccino taste like? Maybe a little sweet, but also a little bitter… Right now, she doesn’t have much time to pay attention to more specific things.

“Let Xiazhi have some of mine too!”

As if to distract this attention, she stuffed her milk tea into Xia Zhi’s arms while speaking.

Judging from her slightly anxious expression in urging the boy and the blush on her face, it was obvious that her real intention was not to drink.

Xi Xian, who was standing by, saw this and thought about it.

“Summer Solstice.”
