Chapter 265
"Congratulations, host. The current mission progress is 83 percent."
After the system finished reading the notification, it stared at the 17% blank progress bar with the child sitting on the tree branch.
Why isn't it over yet?
Is the final fate of the Mermaid Princess still to turn into broken bubbles on the sea under the sun?
Yunmian grabbed a leaf hanging from her head and asked the system with a wrinkled face: "Uncle, will Princess Yuyu lose her tongue and tail again?"
system:"……"
Before the task progress reaches 100%, no one can say whether fate will slide back to the originally set track.
However, instead of worrying about the progress of the task, children prefer to focus on the present.
She still has very important things to accomplish, more important than attending the prince's wedding.
The child jumped down lightly from the tree, then walked barefoot on the rough gravel on the ground and ran back to the yard his mother rented in the town.
Perhaps it can only be described as a room, after all, there is no yard in front or behind.
But on the open-air balcony on the second floor, there are rows of flower pots filled with moist soil.
The soil in the pots was all specially brought here from the forests on land, and sprouted seeds were buried in the soil of each pot.
The elves have spells to ripen plants, so these flower pots are specially prepared for her.
"Mom, when the seeds grow and bloom, will there be butterflies and bees coming to collect nectar?" Yun Mian squatted in front of the rows of flower pots, holding her cheek with her little hands and asked curiously.
Yun Yejin was sitting on a rattan chair nearby, reading a human book. Hearing this, he cast his gaze on Yun Mian. His cold and majestic brows softened, and he replied with a smile, "No, there are no butterflies in Xitanya. Even if there are, they can't smell the fragrance of the flowers in the Silver Moon Forest."
Just like the mermaids in the Sea of Hitanya, they will never see the ripe falling fruits in the Silvermoon Forest.
Yunmian felt that what her mother said was wrong.
The child reached out and picked up a flower pot, saying seriously, "Of course you can. A butterfly turns from a caterpillar. When it was young, the caterpillar walked and crawled for a long, long time, and then turned into a butterfly. The butterfly kept flying, and it could eventually fly all the way from the Silver Moon Forest to Hitanya."
Just like she came to Hitanya from the Silvermoon Forest, and even went to the depths of the dark and mysterious sea, and became friends with the mermaids.
"..." Yun Yejin looked at the elf's clear and clean green eyes, and after a moment's pause, he stretched out his hand to ruffle the top of the child's head: "You are right, there will always be a butterfly that will start from the Silver Moon Forest or somewhere else in its life, fly over thousands of mountains and valleys, and finally arrive in Xitanya."
"Then I'll plant more beautiful flowers." Yun Mian raised her head and rubbed her mother's palm, then sat at her feet holding the flower pot and said happily, "The flowers bloom all year round, so there will always be butterflies and bees that can smell the beautiful fragrance of the flowers."
After saying that, she lowered her head and looked at the pot of soil in her hand that only had seeds buried in it but no green leaves had yet sprouted. She pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and carefully gathered her consciousness. She concentrated her mental strength and began to chant the elf spell to stimulate the growth of plants.
Yun Yejin didn't know when she stopped turning the pages of the book. She leaned over and looked down at the little elf who was studying hard at her feet. She smiled and waited with her for the moment when the seeds sprouted and broke through the soil.
The flower seeds are buried deep in the dark soil. Before they sprout, grow and bloom, no one knows what kind of flower they are or how bright and gorgeous the flowers they will bloom into in the future.
Until the soil on the surface of the flowerpot was slightly arched by the seeds inside, as if breathing, and a moment later a tender green sprout timidly poked its head out of the soil.
Yun Mian stopped chanting, reached out and held the flowerpot in front of her eyes, looking at the little green sprouts with her eyes wide open in surprise.
"Mom, it's grown!" The child couldn't wait to share the joy of the new flower with his mother.
The elf's green pupils were round and sparkling, with surprise and smile flowing in them, which could not be hidden.
Yun Yejin touched Xiao Mianhua's soft and tender cheek encouragingly, and then, in her stunned expression, gently tapped the tender buds with her white fingertips.
The magical power instantly completely enveloped the flower pot.
The timid little buds just now grew rapidly under their eyes, and in the blink of an eye they became small flower seedlings only a finger high. In another blink of an eye, soft little thorns appeared on the flower stems. In another blink of an eye... the leaves quickly spread out, and the little thorns turned into hard and dangerous spikes. Wherever there were buds, branches had already stretched out, and tiny flower buds were growing tremblingly.
From the tiny sprouts breaking through the soil to turning into a bunch of flowers ready to bloom, the whole process took less than ten seconds.
The clusters of flower buds and branches are densely stretched out, and the tips of the branches sway in the sea breeze to touch the children's fair cheeks, noses and even eyelashes.
In a trance, Yunmian seemed to have smelled a faint rich fragrance from these tiny buds about to bloom.
"It turns out to be a rose seed." Yun Yejin stopped the magic, reached out and touched the flower bud trembling on the branch, then smiled at Xiao Mianhua, patiently waiting for her to come back to her senses from her daze.
Yunmian: “…”
system:"……"
Neither Yiqiu nor Yicui could quickly wake up from their dazed mood.
The two little ones had only one word in their minds: Huh???
Whose magic is used like this?
Whose flower seeds only took ten seconds from being planted to blooming?
Who... would use such a crushing talent to attack a kid who is only one month old...
Yunmian held a bouquet of roses in her arms and looked up blankly at her mother who was smiling faintly.
Just when the system thought that its host would be so devastated by the gap that she burst into tears, the little girl sitting on the ground suddenly jumped up, put down the flowerpot, reached out and fell into her mother's arms with sparkling eyes. After being firmly supported, she couldn't help but stay in her mother's arms, humming and acting coquettishly.
"Mom, can you please make me another pot?"
"Mom, how come you are so awesome? You must be the most awesome mom in the world, right?"
"I want more flowers. Mom, can you help me change more? I'll massage your shoulders. It won't be too hard~"
"Mom, mom, mom... I'm so happy. No other child has a mom as good as mine. I'm the best in the world, number one!!"
All kinds of free flattery were constantly coming out. Little Yun Mianmian shamelessly stood on tiptoe and put her face in front of her mother to let her kiss her a few more times, as if after the kiss she would be her mother's most beloved little baby and no one could take her away from her.
The system felt sick of all the praise, but the child's clingy nature never changed, and his eyes were full of affection and admiration when he looked at his mother.
Those compliments, coupled with such little expressions, instantly make the story more realistic.
Yun Yejin didn't seem to expect that Xiao Mianhua could say so many strange and heart-warming words. She was stunned for a moment, and then the smile in her eyes spread gently along the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
She reached out and pinched the child's soft cheeks, successfully stopping the mother's praise machine, and tapped the little guy's forehead with her fingers: "Where did you learn these words, little cotton?"
The child's cheeks were pinched, and his mouth was forced into an O shape. His round eyes looked at his mother innocently, with a little bit of confusion mixed in with his sincerity.
Do we need to learn this kind of boasting?
There is absolutely no need for that. Praising her mother is Yun Mianmian’s innate talent!
A little cotton ball that doesn’t know how to praise its mother is definitely not a real little cotton ball!
Yun Yejin, who read all kinds of strange expressions in the little girl's eyes, burst out laughing. He stretched out his hand to embrace the confused elf in his arms, then held his daughter's chubby little hand with his slender white right hand. He then used levitation magic to make another flower pot with seeds buried in it float in front of him, and began to patiently teach the little girl how to use the growth magic.
In just half a day, the number of empty flower pots on the small balcony decreased, and was replaced by more and more flowers waiting to bloom.
But Yunmian nestled in her mother's arms, looking left and right, and after selecting and examining them for a long time, she found that her favorite was still the first pot of roses!
It was not because the rose was so fragrant or noble and beautiful, but simply because this flower seed was the first one her mother had spawned, and it was also the first time that her mother had cast magic to help it grow into a budding flower.
She likes this pot of flowers very much.
So after a short rest, the child gritted his teeth and pushed the pot of roses to the corner of the balcony, then called several other elf guards to help move the remaining pots to the carriage downstairs.
Growth magic is already a relatively advanced magic for elf cubs to learn, so Yunmian’s original learning progress was not to learn this spell.
But she remembered that the purpose of her leaving the Sea of Hitanya was to find something on land that was not in the sea and give it to the Mermaid Princess as a gift.
So after all the struggles, Yunmian, the system, and several elf guards decided to send flowers.
In addition to the flowers that have already budded and are about to bloom, the child also carries a bag full of flower seeds.
There are at least hundreds of different flower seeds in this cloth bag.
Arriving at the seaside, Yunmian climbed onto the fishing boat using her hands and feet, facing the salty and biting sea breeze that came from the waves. Together with the four elf guards, she pulled up the sails and sailed towards an uninhabited island in the Sea of Hitanya, while the fishermen looked at her as if she was sending a fool to his death.
“Let’s go!!!”
Yun Mian was standing on the bow of the boat. Just as she was pointing her hand towards the distant sea, she was splashed with water by the oncoming waves.
After she spat out the sea water in her mouth in embarrassment, the child held onto the side of the boat with a puffy face.
She had to hold on steady. After so many days, she was still seasick and sea-sick...
When the waves came and the fishing boat was thrown upside down, she couldn't help rolling around in the cabin...
Yala reached out and grabbed the little princess by the collar, and as the fishing boat shook violently, she almost grabbed the elf cub that rolled past her.
During the rest of the voyage, the little elf, who had just turned one month old, maintained this posture of being carried along, and was carried along all the way to the destination in a listless manner.
The moment his feet finally stepped on the sand and stones, the child's knees went weak and he knelt down firmly facing the deserted island.
Yara, who just let go, said: "..."
Mianmian: Orz kneeled sincerely.
Kojima: ...I can’t bear it. I can’t bear it.
