"Those elves just love green things."

Lucas tossed the crystal upwards, causing the liquid to flow up and down, squeezing out many bubbles.

"Conforms to stereotypes."

Shen Meiren snapped her fingers, and the baby flew to Lucas's hand, hiding the green crystal as if incubating an egg.

"Chirp chirp."

Pretty and bright, even the little one wants one.

Watching the little hen incubate her chicks, Shen Meiren reached out and scratched the baby's belly.

The little one was so ticklish that he rolled around on Lucas's hand, almost laughing himself to death.

Elf Continent

"Come, come, here's a gift, don't be shy."

The elven prince Garandal greeted guests at the entrance, and the chieftain of the dwarves patted his leg.

He handed the branch he was holding to the elf prince.

"The Happy Little Prince of Adulthood".

"I can't believe you've grown so much! I used to hold you when you were little!"

Elf Prince: ? ? ?

The previous Ghost Clan chief said the same thing, the werewolf king before that said the same thing, the goblin chief before that said the same thing, and so on...

Was he so lovable as a child? Why did everyone love to hug him?

"Really? Thank you."

The Elf Prince forced a stiff smile and took out a crystal flower, unique to the Elven lands, from his pocket as a return gift.

"You're welcome, it's nothing."

The dwarf chieftain waved his hand, beckoning the younger generation to enter the dense forest.

After waiting a while, Garandal nudged the elbow of the elf next to him.

"Who else hasn't arrived yet?"

“Count Lucas the vampire, the king said there’s no rush, he’s always the last to appear.”

"They're here! They're here!"

The elf beside him pointed to the six skinny horses galloping ahead, and Garandal immediately put on his standard smile.

Lucas raised his head and gracefully took Shen Meiren's hand as they stepped down from the carriage.

The long robes trailed to the ground, carrying away a lot of dust.

Medusa?

The elves looked at Shen Yulou, who was blindfolded, with surprise.

Garandal thought Lucas would also say something like he had hugged him, and was just about to exchange pleasantries when a green crystal was shoved into his hand.

The little one was also placed in Garandal's hands, and he seemed to be attached to the crystal, holding on tightly and unwilling to let go.

"Chirp chirp!"

The little one shook his head.

It took Garandel a long time to finally see the cub's big, round eyes through its thick fur.

Is it alive?

"Is this also a gift for me?"

"Dream on."

Lucas and Shen Meiren worked together to pry open the cub's wings and claws.

"Chirp chirp."

The little one curled itself up into a ball of golden fur, its fur trembling with each breath.

Garandal: Cute, I want it.

"Stop looking, there's no way I'll give it to you."

Lucas gave Garandal a look that said "don't get your hopes up," and then took Shen Meiren's hand and entered the bustling dense forest.

Garandal: How arrogant!

Accompanied by the beautiful songs of the tree fairies, the coming-of-age ceremony in Garandel began.

The Elven King first gave a speech with tears streaming down his face, then took an oath with Garandal and placed a crown symbolizing power on his son's head.

The little one in the audience kept staring at the table full of berries, drooling.

But Dad said it was impolite for him to eat while others were speaking on stage, so the little one resisted the urge to stuff all the fruit into his mouth.

The coming-of-age ceremony is over, and next up is the banquet for the guests.

"Chirp chirp."

The baby wants to eat this!

Little Kiwi pointed to the bright red berries on the table, asking Shen Yulou to feed him. He eagerly buried his head in the berries, his face covered in juice.

The Elf King, accompanied by Garandal, offered a toast to Lucas. Garandal, seeing the baby's swaying little bottom, couldn't resist taking a sip.

I couldn't resist pinching it, but the little one kicked me instead.

"Chirp chirp!"

No one but Dad can touch the baby's bottom!

Especially when the baby is eating!

Garandal: Hiss~

What if getting kicked makes you even more excited?
