In the territory of the Tree People in the East Continent, beside the calm and peaceful Holy Lake.

Blue stood beside Ashley and asked anxiously, "Ashley, how's it going? Where's Lingling? It's been a few days, why hasn't she come back yet?"

Ashley originally planned to bask in the sun, but unfortunately she was discovered by Blue early in the morning. He followed her like he did the previous two days, staying close to her and chattering. Ashley was almost annoyed by him.

She angrily raised the branch high, waving it twice in a mock manner, and helplessly explained again, "Didn't I just tell you last night?! When the tracking magic failed, Lingling and the others must have reached the mermaid tribe and successfully sent Sophia home."

"Now that the task is completed, they must be heading back! They just stopped at one place last night and are moving around nearby. We just need to be patient and wait."

After listening to this, Blue lifted the roots and wrapped them into legs, pacing back and forth on the shore.

"Why are they still playing on the road? Lingling, didn't Tag and Holly take her to a dangerous place? They're not going into the city, are they?"

Ashley finally couldn't stand Blue's nagging anymore, and when Blue turned around, Ashley ran away nimbly.

I have never seen such a talkative tree man!

Seeing Ashley running away, Blue, who was eager to see his child, hurried to catch up.

"Ashley—don't run! Track it carefully again. Is there any new change in the location?! Ashley—"

The tree people of the tree tribe saw the two elders chasing each other on the road, shook their treetops, and continued to bask in the sun as usual.

There's nothing strange about it. The longer Lingling is away, the longer Elder Blue will be "crazy".

......

"A-choo~"

Lingling covered her round little bear nose with her little paws, looking a little shocked, with her bright black eyes wide open.

"Lingling is sick?!"

You know, after coming to this world, the little guy has been in good health, enjoys eating everything, and has never been sick. So what was that little sneeze just now?

The uncles surrounding Lingling were also a little surprised. How could she be sick after waking up from a nap?

Damon was even more frightened, thinking that Lingling had exhausted herself helping him meet "his son" and that was why she fell ill. He was suddenly filled with self-blame.

"Lingling? Are you too tired from helping grandpa just now, so you're sick?"

Lingling, still covering her nose, replied in a muffled voice, "No, Lingling was just taking a nap... I'm not tired!"

If anyone is tired, it should be Uncle Bai. Alas, I don’t know what Uncle Bai is busy with.

Thinking of Bai Jiu, the little girl felt a little lost for a moment, but she quickly recovered and smiled sweetly to the uncles who looked at her with concern.

"Lingling knows! It must be Grandpa Blue who misses Lingling too much! Oh, Grandpa Blue really can't live without Lingling. He misses Lingling so much that she sneezes."

Thor had just finished using his magic to examine Lingling's body, but upon hearing Lingling's explanation, he couldn't help but retract his hand.

Indeed, the little one is in good health, and the reason she gave is not impossible. If it were him, he would also miss Lingling after she left home for so many days.

He stroked Lingling's fluffy little head and asked tentatively, "So? Lingling, have the uncles sent you back to the Tree People?"

Damon, who was holding Lingling, suddenly tightened his arms when he heard this, but he was still careful not to strangle Lingling.

Lingling let go of her wet little nose, felt Grandpa Damon's nervousness, looked up at Thor, and asked hesitantly: "Uncle, don't you want to ask Grandpa Damon something? Have you asked it yet?"

Thor nodded and looked at Triton, who looked back with clear eyes.

"The uncles already have a general idea of ​​where to find the bad guys. Now all we have to do is get you home, and then we'll discuss the rest of the matter in detail."

Lingling scratched her two little paws at each other, a little afraid to look at Damon. She lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"Okay~ Lingling misses grandpa, grandma, and brother too."

Hearing this, Damon couldn't help but look sharply at Thor and his group. His chapped lips parted as he asked anxiously, "Aren't you leaving without lunch? I've already asked Tiger to prepare it."

Tag and Holly looked at each other and shook their heads.

Holly calculated the time and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we just stopped by to ask you about something."

"Lingling's grandmother, the elder of our Tree People, has given us a limited time to travel. We have to hurry back."

There was a hint of disappointment in Damon's eyes, and he suddenly remembered that it was the same when Lingling came for the first time. Their time did seem a bit tight.

He looked at Lingling in his arms, feeling mixed emotions.

We are leaving, we are all leaving.

He couldn't help but touch Lingling's little head. The soft touch made his heart ache. He closed his eyes, but still reluctantly handed Lingling to Holly, who was closest to him.

Lingling was also a little reluctant. She felt Grandpa Damon's emotions. When she was handed out, her little paws were still gently placed on Damon's arm, and her watery eyes looked at him, as if apologizing and comforting him.

Holly looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little bit reluctant, but finally took a deep breath, pretended not to see it, and hugged Lingling as if nothing had happened.

He nodded to Damon, with a hint of apology and gratitude in his eyes, and then looked at Thor and the others.

Thor and his group understood Holly's look and walked out.

Triton immediately put away Lingling's shell bed and placed the prey he had caught on the road in his space ring in front of Tiger, who was afraid to speak.

Finally, he said "greeting gift" and then picked up his short legs and hurried to catch up with the people in front.

Holly walked in front holding Lingling, getting closer and closer to the door curtain, just when they were about to lift the curtain and leave.

Lingling suddenly turned around nimbly in Holly's arms, put her little paws on Holly's shoulders, and called to Damon in a baby voice, "Grandpa Damon!"

When Damon heard Lingling calling him, he immediately raised his head, which had been drooping a little, and responded with some anticipation: "Hey! Grandpa is here!"

He couldn't bear to see the obedient and soft little guy disappear in front of him. He had just lowered his head to escape reality, but now when he heard Lingling calling him, he didn't care about anything else.

Damon was a little excited. He ran to Lingling in two or three steps, stretched out his rough hand to hold Lingling's little paw, tried his best to suppress the disappointment in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Lingling, is there anything else you want to say to Grandpa?"

Lingling nodded her head firmly, with a stern face, and spoke seriously, word for word, words that shocked everyone.

"Grandpa Damon, why don't you move and live with Lingling? Okay?"
