After Henmu's words brought tension to the crowd, the high elf just tapped the ground gently. She didn't seem to care about anyone, but these news had to be passed.

Otherwise, people would assume that no threats lurked around in this forest.

It wasn't like the elven forest had been a dangerous place ever, but people needed to be notified due to the world pillar's changes.

Furthermore, the elves' service was providing the spots in Forest Pond from the beginning.

One shouldn't be thinking that elves would do their best to protect everyone.

"Enter per four people at most."

It started with Henmu's tap.

Then, the branches from the tall trees violently shook. A few leaves danced above everyone while branches extended below.

Those branches didn't touch leaves even once, then began to form something akin to gate in the middle of the crowd.

This gate soon shook heavily and a green orb conjured within.

Following this appearance, beautiful vines spread from within the orb.

Soon enough, the portal appeared before everyone's eyes.

This portal worked only in the elven forest, so it was not high magic by any means. This didn't mean that it was not amazing at all and elves were really the force to be reckoned with.

The husband entered the portal together with Xaya, Xiaoxiao and Akaro. The cat surprised the high elf as Akaro seemed like a pet. She didn't show off any sharp aura and even lazily rolled within the husband's arms.

Was it to cover her identity or maybe Akaro had taken a liking to the husband's touch?

Following the husband, his party entered as well.

Everyone exclaimed at the sight of the Forest Pond.

It spanned over a few thousand meters, not seeming like a pond at all. Its water was transparent, sparking as if the sun was above them. However, the sun was what had been lacking here.

Nature was still blooming here with beautiful trees bending around, but the source of light were medium sized fireflies. Those fireflies seemed to be scared of everyone with how far away they had been beating their wings.

Nonetheless, everyone was charmed by the Forest Pond.

Those who were here for the first time and loved nature, moved mindlessly forward before Henmu's approval rang out.

It wasn't like she had to say something, so the high elf just ignored those people.

"Keep those daydreamers in check. If they take one of your spots, then don't come to me with complaints. The Forest Pond can heal up up to sixty-four people. Even one person more will negate the effect and get rid of its effect. For that, I will keep an eye on. Such a person will pay with death."

The high elf had to keep an eye on a few things, however.

She threatened on the spot, then moved around to organize her people. Since the place was so big, Henmu needed to properly appoint her people to keep an eye around.

Her elven army had a lot of people, so there should be no problem with that.

Kyoya also knew that they had a spot, so he wasn't worried about anything.

He turned his eyes to Xaya, then hugged her.

"We will keep an eye too. If someone dares to try to destroy this place, I will take my knife immediately and take him down."

"Yes, the husband."

"Go on."

There were some people who took off their clothes which was rather unsightly for the majority.

Xaya wanted to kill them immediately, but the husband's cough stopped her. She also would never think of taking off her clothes, so like most, Xaya entered the Forest Pond with her spare clothes.

After sinking into the water, Xaya instantly got exposed to the fresh and pure energy. She had been hurt for so long, so this was both a pleasant and painful experience.

This energy permeated her shoulder, then began to purify Xaya's body! It made her face distort a little, sweaty lines appearing on that smooth forehead. Following this, Xaya bit her lips and began to just endure all purification that soon turned into arm reconstruction.

How a mere water could achieve this feat? Xaya didn't bother to think about it. For her, the fact that one of the world pillar's wonders could bring out such sight from her was irritating and disappointing…

This, and all those filths that propped their ears to listen to her faint groans.

-

On the other side, Kyoya had been looking at his wife with care.

He was also keeping attention to his surroundings, but the husband wasn't alone. His close ones were also helping and the husband could rely well on his friends.

The future high fox was also here and her eyes smiled upon him after their eyes met.

The husband got a bad feeling, but he stopped thinking after the high elf approached him.

Hemnu glanced at the husband and his cat, then spoke up.

"What's your name?"

"I am Kyoya. This is Akaro."

"If you haven't heard, I am Henmu."

It was one big question mark as to why would she come and introduce herself.

The husband momentarily thought that his husband's aura reached her, but he couldn't believe that he was that influential.

Soon, Henmu curled her lips up and said, "This people."

She pointed with her eyes, so that no one would be able to tell.

"They had been looking at your wife with evil thoughts."

"Them?"

"Yes."

"I will remember this. Thank you."

"Thank those above us. Also, this is a really adorable cat. Keep her close."

Henmu stroked the cat before turning away. Or at least she attempted to as the husband asked her, "Why did you tell me this?"

For a while, Henmu had been keeping close contact with her own people. She never spoke to anyone and the husband had some thoughts about it.

It turned out that Henmu herself didn't know why.

"I just felt like talking to you. Now, this feeling is all gone, so I can focus on my job."

"Oh… I see. Thank you."

After Henmu turned around and disappeared far away, Kyoya let out a sigh and glanced to the other side. It was as if he just wanted to check on others, so his gaze didn't bring any suspicion, but the people Henmu spoke about…

They were together with foxes, so they had adventured together for a while!

[Kyoya has marked a few targets on the minimap.]

This message appeared on every party member, so Kyoya still didn't show any weird or out of place actions.

He then commented, "I didn't expect Henmu to show such a side to us."

"Shouldn't it be 'I didn't expect Henmu to have such side?'"

"Haha! Every lady has her cute and dangerous side! I think I haven't seen your dangerous side, though."

Xiaoxiao could only blink her eyes… Wasn't she kinda ferocious during battles?

"Haha!"

"Don't laugh and focus!"

Xiaoxiao waved her hand, then realized that the husband had been teasing her right now! She got forced to think about her dangerous side, then the husband uttered 'Dangerously Cute' and her cheeks reddened.

They looked like a couple on the picnic which made some people chuckle.

But the Forest Pond's events had yet to end!

BOOOM!

"What was that?"

The husband stopped laughing, his head turning to the side.

He instantly noticed a huge red scaled arm landing on the forest! This arm appeared out of nowhere and was just about to fall into the Forest Pond!

"No fucking way! It's not a living person, but this red arm… is bleeding and I can feel a pulse? This… This can't get into the Forest Pond!"

"But this is too big! Is this giant's arm?!"

"Henmu! Where is she?!"

Not only tricksters believers were the threat! Kyoya clicked his tongue and rushed. Even if he couldn't raise this arm, he would at least try to stop it!

"Wait… I can't… Can I?"

He glanced at the people that Henmu mentioned… What should he do? Should he believe in others or try to do something himself?

Kyoya decided to back off as it was his promise to protect his wife! If not this Forest Pond, then a few years later! Her safety was the most important one.

He glanced at Xaya whose arm was half-way healed.

He knew that if this process stopped right now, she would hate herself even more with such weird 'arm'...

"Henmu!"
