Stranger Danger

When they got closer, Ye Qing finally saw an island. The willow tree was growing from the island.

The island was massive, but it was overgrown with willow tree roots that were as thick as serpents and undulating like mountain ranges.

There were no other plants on the island. Literally, none. The willow tree had dominated it all.

That didn’t mean that there was no life on the island though. Case in point: The foot of the willow tree was crowded with people right now.

The people looked a little different from your average humans though. Their skin was faint green in color, and willow branches were growing out of their heads.

That’s right, the people had planted willow branches into their hair. The willow branches were literally growing out of their heads. They looked lush and vibrant.

“Are those... Willowa?”

Ye Qing immediately recalled a passage from Li Xian’s “A Record of Strange and Miraculous Things”. There existed an island in the sea that was overgrown with a gigantic willow tree. The willow tree was sentient and extremely powerful, and the natives on the island worshiped it as their god. However, the natives were green-skinned and had willow branches growing out of their heads. Therefore, Li Xian decided to name them, “Willowa”.

Unless his eyes were playing tricks on him, this scene before him was exactly what Li Xian was describing.

“Are those Willowa?”

Feng Qingyou had walked up to Ye Qing’s side and gazed at the distant willow tree and Willowa as well. “What are they doing?”

“Celebrating something, I guess?”
