Chapter 378 I naturally like you

"Calculate."

This was the most beautiful word Shu Li had ever heard in his two lifetimes.

He excitedly shook the Elf King's hand back, his eyes sparkling, and he was so excited that he was a little overwhelmed.

"Really? Really? Really?"

He asked three times in a row, hoping to get a clearer answer.

The Elf King looked at the goblin's long, pointed ears, which kept twitching, and replied in a low voice, "It's true."

Shu Li's mouth curled up wildly, and he wanted to rush to the square and announce his good mood to the whole world.

Fortunately, reason triumphed over emotion.

Now is not the time to act impulsively, you still need to ask the necessary questions clearly.

"Why...why would you do this to me..." Shu Li hesitated and stammered, "I mean, why do you like...like me?"

She asked him to be her bride, so she must like him!

However, Shu Li believed that he was just an ordinary goblin, tens of thousands of years younger than the Elf King. There were countless elves or goblins who were better than him. Why did he win the favor of the Elf King?

He was not questioning the Elf King, but felt that one should treat feelings with caution to avoid leaving regrets and hurting others and oneself.

"In my eyes, you are a special existence. As for why I like you..." The Elf King's eyes were deep and tender, and his voice was gentle. "It is the guidance of fate, the salvation of life, the companionship of day and night, the accumulation of years, the cycle of time. It is natural to like you."

The heavenly words were like the whispers of a lover, making Shu Li's cheeks flush and her heart tremble.

"Sperien, I have waited a long time for you." The Elf King reached out and gently stroked his fair cheek, outlining his delicate features with his fingertips. "Ever since you playfully danced on my harp, I have been curious about you."

Shu Li felt as if the Elf King's fingers were electrifying him, and his skin felt numb wherever they touched him. He asked dazedly, "When...when did I dance on your harp?"

The Elf King smiled but said nothing.

Shu Li frowned, suddenly remembering the illusion he had when he first heard "Song of Creation".

The Elf King had confessed to him before that it was not an illusion, but an intersection of time and space.

He thought the young Elf King couldn't see him, but he actually saw everything clearly, but just didn't point it out.

Shu Li wanted to cover her face.

How could he be dancing? He was clearly wiggling his hips and making faces to tease the young Elf King!

When her dark history was brought up, Shu Li felt ashamed, her toes curled up and rubbed against the carpet.

The Elf King smiled: "Very cute."

Shu Li turned his head away, embarrassed to look him in the eye. After hesitating for a moment, he calmed himself down and involuntarily tightened his grip on the Elf King's hand.

"King, were you previously affected by the sword of Boshug?"

After confirming the relationship, it's time to get down to business.

Shu Li said seriously, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have given you the Sword of Boshug."

The sword of Boshug has a criminal record, and most people cannot withstand its bewitching power.

No matter how powerful the Elf King is, he is not the true master of the magic sword, so it is understandable that he is backlashed and eroded by the power of darkness.

As for why he knew black magic, Shu Li simply ignored it.

He was trying his best to avoid this question, stubbornly believing that the culprit for the Elf King's evil transformation was the Sword of Bersugur.

The Elf King watched the little elf blaming himself quietly, his eyes deep and tender. After the little elf fell silent, he said, "You know in your heart that the sword of Persugar cannot affect my mind."

Shu Li frowned, a look of worry on his face, mist in his eyes, and he felt uneasy about the truth he was about to hear.

The Elf King lowered his brows and sighed softly, "When the God of Light created me, the God of Darkness was watching from the sidelines. While the God of Light wasn't paying attention, he injected a trace of darkness deep into my soul."

"Ah?" Shu Li opened his eyes wide in shock, unable to believe it.

The Elf King said self-deprecatingly: "So I, the Son of Light, am not worthy of the name."

Shu Li immediately shook his head and retorted, "No! You are the Son of Light created by the God of Light. No one can deny that!"

The Elf King possesses the purest light element in the world. Only with his blessing did I learn instant light magic.

If he is not the Son of Light, who is?

The Elf King suddenly leaned forward, his emerald eyes turning blood red. He grabbed Shu Li's chin, watching his pupils shrink. He chuckled and asked, "Having seen this other side of me, aren't you afraid?"

Shu Li felt a chill down his spine, his limbs were stiff, and he dared not move. His mind was filled with the bloody image of the evil Elf King holding the sword of Bersuger and stabbing the clone of the God of Darkness.

Seeing that he was showing signs of retreating, the Elf King released his chin and leaned back against the pillow. His golden hair slid down his forehead, covering half of his face, revealing a hint of vulnerability.

Shu Li's heart tightened, and he blurted out: "I'm not afraid!"

Even when the evil Elf King fought with the Dark God, he was not affected.

So at the last moment, Shu Li had the opportunity to distract the God of Darkness.

The Dark God deserved it and it was only natural that his corpse should be whipped.

The God of Light created the Son of Light well, but the God of Darkness intentionally interfered and caused pain to the Elf King.

That trace of darkness buried deep in the soul is like a time bomb that can explode at any time, threatening the Elf King's reputation and status in the light camp.

No wonder the Elf King couldn't purify the mother tree that was contaminated by the dark energy.

"You didn't hurt me." Shu Li thought about the details carefully. What the evil Elf King did to him seemed more like a true expression of his feelings.

If the Elf King had not been too straightforward after his evil transformation, he would still be on the road of secret love, not knowing when it would end.

The Elf King grabbed Shu Li's hand and pulled hard, easily pulling him into his arms.

"Ah?" Shu Li's body tilted and fell into his arms. She looked up in a daze and met a pair of eyes that had returned to green.

"How could I bear to hurt you..." The Elf King lowered his head and kissed his forehead, the center of his eyebrows, the tip of his nose... and his soft, rosy lips with care.

Being kissed by the Elf King again, Shu Li's heart beat as fast as a war drum, booming in his chest "boom boom boom, boom boom boom".

Unlike the last domineering and aggressive kiss, this kiss was gentle and tender, with a numbing feeling spreading between the lips and teeth.

Shu Li subconsciously grabbed the Elf King's clothes, relaxed her body, snuggled tightly against his chest, and responded awkwardly.

Emboldened, the Elf King deepened the kiss.

Soon, the ambiguous sound of water splashing could be heard faintly in the silent room.
