Chapter 132 Sailing Town

When the Elf King finished taking a shower and washing his clothes and came out, Mei Yang was huddled in the corner, his little head nodding. When he heard the door open, he raised his head in a daze and smiled sweetly at the Elf King.

His exposed skin was all delicate pink, his eyes were watery, and his smile was silly but also cute.

The Elf King touched his forehead to make sure the cub was still running a fever, sighed, picked him up and tucked him into bed.

The Elf King wanted to spend the night on the recliner. Just as he was about to get up, a small hand stretched out from the quilt, tugged at his sleeve to prevent him from leaving, and whispered in fear. The Elf King had no choice but to sleep in bed with him.

But they didn't sleep in the same quilt, the half-grown children were still naked, the Elf King remembered.

He first placed the cub neatly under the quilt, forming a straight pillar, and then went to the cupboard and got another quilt.

The bed was big enough for Mei Yang to sleep inside and the Elf King to sleep outside.

After a while, Mei Yang secretly lifted the back corner, found the gap in the quilt next to him, and quietly crawled in.

He touched the Elf King's body in a thin nightgown.

The body stiffened, and before he could open his mouth to chase him away, Mei Yang said in a sticky and aggrieved voice, "Daddy, I'm cold and scared."

"..." The Elf King had no way to deal with this insecure kid. He was afraid that he would scare others if he got angry, so he just ignored him and said, "Go to sleep, I'll take you back to town tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Mei Yang agreed obediently.

He tried to bury his head in the Elf King's shoulder, smiled secretly, and put his cold little feet against the man's calves to absorb some warmth.

The quilt where two people were sleeping was very warm. After a while, the temperature rose and sleepiness came over them.

Mei Yang found a comfortable position, snuggled up beside the man, whispered good night, and then fell asleep.

Two minutes later, he even started snoring.

The Elf King didn't understand why this little guy, whom he had never met, liked him so much and depended on him so much, just like a plant that would wither without him.

Thinking that the mother tree's call was different from the previous calls when an elf was born... the Elf King glanced at the little head nestled in his neck. The cub's eyelashes were like crow feathers, casting a thick shadow on half of its face.

It is indeed a very beautiful and cute cub.

"Good night." The man said in a low voice.

…

The next day, Mei Yang had such a high fever that he couldn't even open his eyes.

He vaguely heard the Elf King calling him to get up. Mei Yang wanted to be obedient, so he tried to get up, but he had no strength in his body and lay there in bed like a pig worm.

He even tried to defend himself: "I got up, I got up..."

Elf King: “…”

The Elf King sighed and told himself that it was still a cub, and that was how cubs were, so there was no need to worry about anything.

So he dug the little pig out of the quilt himself and dressed him.

Because it was originally an elf-style clothing, it was quick to put on, except for the fact that when I was putting on the little underwear for the cub at the beginning, I didn't know how the cub grew up. It was obviously very thin, with thin arms and legs, and its body was soft, but its butt had a lot of flesh. It took some effort to pull it up, but everything else was fine.

Mei Yang cooperated very well during the whole process of getting dressed. He was so confused that he couldn't react at all that he was half-carried and dressed up from naked to respectable.

But it wasn't very decent, because there were no clothes of the right size in the wardrobe, so the Elf King had to find a thick blanket to wrap him up.

"I forgot to ask, what's your name?" The Elf King asked him while wrapping him.

"Call Mei Yang." Mei Yang finally woke up a little and poked his head out from the huge blanket.

"It sounds nice." The Elf King said casually, "My name is Melida."

The human cub in front of him was not actually one of his people. The Elf King did not force him to call him king, so he told him his own name.

I didn't expect to hear such comments -

The soft, black-haired cub smiled like a little honey-covered cake and said in a very sincere tone, "It sounds nice too, just like me. I have the same last name as Daddy!"

The Elf King didn't understand what he meant, but after taking a look at his red face and silly smile, he knew that the child was still dizzy.

Afraid that the fire would continue and turn people crazy, the Elf King quickened his movements, put away the used items in the room, then held Mei Yang, who was wrapped like a silkworm, in his arms and walked out.

Mei Yang rested his chin on the Elf King's shoulder, his eyes half open and half closed. He didn't ask where the Elf King was taking him - anywhere was fine, as long as he stayed by this man's side.

Taking into account the cub in his arms who was still running a fever, the Elf King chose to take the stairs. He went downstairs very quickly, but the mother tree was too high. The stairs had a lot of steps and it was a vertical spiral staircase. Mei Yang hooked his arm around the Elf King's neck, rode on his waist, and was held by his buttocks. The scene looked backwards to him. After a while, he felt dizzy from the stairs and simply closed his eyes and buried his head in the fur collar of the Elf King's clothes to take a nap.

Maybe half an hour passed and Mei Yang almost fell asleep again. Finally, they came to the lowest branch. The Elf King stood on the branch, feeling troubled and not knowing how to take Mei Yang down.

If I jump down directly, the timid cub in my arms will be scared to death, right?

Mei Yang suddenly reminded the Elf King, asking him to pat the bark and take him down on the vines. Mei Yang woke up just after he came out of the cave. It was because it was snowing outside. Although the Elf King stretched out a hand to protect Mei Yang's head, the cold wind still made Mei Yang shiver.

The Elf King did as Mei Yang said and successfully summoned the vines. He did not ask Mei Yang how he knew this little trick that even he did not know. The cub had too many secrets. There was no need to bully the sick child at this time. It would not be too late to ask after returning to the town and curing the cub's fever.

With the help of the vine elevator, the two arrived underground safely.

The Elf King blew a whistle, and moments later, Rumi, the beautiful albino moose, emerged from the bushes.

Mei Yang was actually very happy to see Rumi again. He guessed that this must have been not too long ago, but he couldn't show it. After sitting on it, he just touched Rumi's antlers with great affection and greeted it.

He was originally wrapped in a blanket, and as soon as he rode on Rumi's back, the Elf King wrapped him with his cloak, wrapping it tightly in front of his chest.

In a sitting position, the height difference wasn't so intimidating, with the top of Mei Yang's head just slightly below the Elf King's chin.

As long as he turned his head, he could kiss the man's protruding Adam's apple.

I like him so much, I like him more and more...

Mei Yang quietly moved closer to the Elf King. He was only wearing a thin spring dress, and his butterfly bones could feel the vibration of the man's chest when it was bumped.

"What's wrong? Are you still cold?" asked the Elf King.

He noticed the cub's movement to shrink into his arms.

Mei Yang paused for a moment, then mustered up the courage to completely press his body against the man behind him.

Taking advantage of the angle, the Elf King couldn't see the expression on his face, so he said shamelessly, "I'm not cold, but I like being held by you!"

The Elf King was once again choked by the familiarity of this half-grown cub.

He is no longer at the age where he cares about everything. The longer he lives, the more tolerant he is of the things around him and his mentality becomes more peaceful.

So he indulged Mei Yang's overly clingy behavior.

The forest in winter has a unique scenery.

Covered in silver, all the trees wore hats made of snow, and every branch was covered with snow, and illuminated by the sun, like fried tempura wrapped in batter.

Whenever the wind blew, the branches would sway and shake off a lot of soft snow. At this time, the Elf King would press Mei Yang back into his cloak to prevent him from getting cold.

All the animals were hibernating, and there was no sound in the forest except for the plop of deer's hooves digging into the snow and then pulling them out.

Mei Yang asked: "How long do we have to walk?"

He was too embarrassed to say that he was actually a little hungry.

The Elf King replied, "We'll be arriving at Sailboat Town before noon. There's an elven settlement there—in fact, elves live in every corner of the continent. Many humans living in Sailboat Town love seafood. Do you like seafood?"

"I like it." Mei Yang licked his lips. "I'm easy to feed. I'm not picky about food."

Mei Yang felt that he was telling the truth. He was really not picky as long as it was meat, eggs, milk, and vegetables, and he also liked to eat fruits.

But he certainly couldn't stand eating fruit and drinking dew every meal like the elves.

"Then when we get to town, tell me what you want to eat." The Elf King believed that he was relatively financially capable.

The handicrafts, textiles, fragrance products, etc. produced by the elves are very popular, and the elves own many industries on the continent.

Raising a human cub that the mother tree specifically asked him to adopt was no problem at all.

Besides, Mei Yang is indeed a likable and well-behaved child.

They chatted haphazardly like this. Several times when Mei Yang wanted to take a nap, he was piqued by the topics suddenly brought up by the Elf King and continued to talk to him with his little mouth.

Mei Yang knew that he had a high fever and would feel worse the more he slept without taking medicine. The Elf King was helping him stay awake.

Breathing the cool air in the forest, I spent the whole morning in high spirits.

Just when Mei Yang's stomach finally couldn't help but growl, the Elf King chuckled, pinched Mei Yang's chin with his backhand, and told him to look into the distance.

"We're here, baby. You can eat soon." There was an unconcealable smile in his voice.

Mei Yang knew that he heard his stomach growling and his face turned a little red.

There were no checkpoints in the town during this period, and the Elf King still took Mei Yang riding on the back of a moose and headed towards the town.

There were more and more buildings and more and more people he met. Mei Yang was really surprised - there were many people with horns on their heads, tails behind their buttocks, or people with the lower body of horses, strolling on the street.

Mei Yang knew that they were orcs, but it was the first time he saw a living one, and his eyes were looking around.

He didn't know that others were also looking at him - the noble, spotless Elf King was actually holding a beautiful boy in his arms, who was not sure whether he was a human or an orc.

The boy was completely curled up in the Elf King's arms, looking extremely favored.

Is the old iron tree blooming? A gray wolf half-orc who runs a grocery store couldn't help but speculate.
