Chapter 168 Elders
"Ah! Xiaobai! You're back!"
An elf who was familiar with Bai recognized him from afar and immediately came to greet him with surprise.
After hearing the name "Xiaobai", Bai felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, and whispered to her: "Aya, you are only a few years older than me, so there is no need to add the word "Xiaobai" in front of my name. You can just call me Bai, or Ah Bai will also be fine..."
Jinglingya was amused by his embarrassed expression, and she covered her mouth and laughed, "Okay, okay, I won't scream."
The elves are indeed a race favored by the gods. Their looks are as if nurtured by the essence of the sun and the moon. There are no pores on their cheeks, and their skin glows white under the sun. It is not the unhealthy pale color, but a translucent white with a healthy light pink.
"How was it? Was it fun outside the Elf Forest? Did you meet any new friends... Wow, well, it seems like you met a lot of new friends."
Seeing the seven people following Bai clearly, Aya suddenly changed her tone.
But soon Aya continued to ask curiously: "With so many new friends, have you experienced many interesting things?"
"Well, for example, how do you know the gentleman next to you?"
Aya noticed Lu Yi standing to Bai's right hand at first sight.
Nothing else.
It was really that Lu Yi, with his blond hair and blue eyes, was so handsome that he even overshadowed the elves around him who were famous for their beauty and longevity.
Bai standing next to him didn't take advantage of the elf's racial advantage at all. Instead, Lu Yi seemed more like the elf between the two.
Aya had never seen such a good-looking human before - although she had not seen many humans either, but she was inexplicably certain that this person must be the best-looking one among the humans.
She even felt that if he were placed among the elves, he would stand out.
Aya always thought that the light golden long hair of their Elf King Tower was the most perfect hair color in the world, but at this moment she felt that the bright gold was also very exciting.
This human also has a pair of beautiful blue eyes, Aya thought.
"I was only out for two or three days!" Bai replied, "I didn't have time to see anything!"
Although he left the Elf Forest with a mission entrusted by his father, this mission was only known to him and his father. The unified statement to the outside world was that they hoped Bai could gain some experience for a period of time.
"Oh, okay, then why don't you stay outside for a few more days? Well, I mean, you've only been gone for a few days..." Aya answered absent-mindedly, and her eyes couldn't help but move to Lu Yi beside him again and again.
"Won't you introduce me to your new friend? Your friends are my friends!"
Her eyes had always been on Lu Yi, intentionally or unintentionally. Even if Bai was slow-witted, he realized at this moment that her real intention was not to drink.
With unspeakable thoughts in mind, Bai suddenly slapped his head and said, "Oh right! I came back so early because something happened to me! I have to go find my father now!"
He turned around quickly, pulling Lu Yi with one hand and Saman with the other and was about to leave.
Before he even took a step, Bai turned around and told the man with glasses, "This is your first time in the Elf Forest and you may not be familiar with it, but don't be afraid, we are all very easy-going elves! Aya will take you to find the elders!"
"No, hey, you..."
Aya watched Bai dragging the two of them away, and could only stand there and stamp her feet in anger.
She turned her head and looked at the four people including the man with glasses, Zorn, and said angrily and helplessly: "...I really owed him in my previous life!"
The beautiful human that she had been thinking about didn't realize it, and she even got herself a job. This trip was really not worth it for her!
Fortunately, she had no prejudice against dark elves. After digesting the reality for a while, Aya resigned herself to taking the four of them to the elders' residence.
On the other side, Bai Ye took Lu Yi and Saman to the deeper part of the house.
Along the way, elves looked at them with curious eyes, as if they were looking at some rare object.
The Elf Forest is isolated from the world, and they haven't seen humans with rounded ears for a long, long time.
But then, when their gazes fell on Lu Yi's face, they quickly turned into undisguised admiration and love.
Elves are close to nature and all beautiful things, including beautiful women.
On the short journey, several times the elves wanted to rush forward to talk to Lu Yi, but were blocked by Bai Anzhong in time every time.
After finally reaching the area where the elders lived, the number of elves around them began to decrease, and Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
He really didn't expect that the human race could have someone as attractive as Lu Yi!
"See, I told you I didn't lie to you! My father is really the elder of the elves. Since you helped me, my father will definitely thank you very much." Bai muttered.
They stopped in front of a small house. Bai knocked on the door and shouted, "Father, father, I'm back! Please open the door!"
After a while, the wooden door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged elf who looked about four or five percent similar to Bai walked out.
The elf pushed the door open a little further and said in a friendly manner, "Ah, it's Xiao Bai... um, and your friends - do you want to come in and sit down? I just happened to bake some cookies, maybe you would like to try some?"
"The cookies my dad baked are so delicious!" Bai said flatteringly.
Lu Yi and Saman looked at each other and said, "It is our honor, sir."
"Haha, don't be so polite, come in!"
The three followed Ling into the cabin.
As soon as he stepped into the cabin, Lu Yi felt the obvious magic of space.
Sure enough, when he looked up, he saw that the house, which looked small from the outside, was surprisingly large inside.
The decoration style of the house is close to the forest, with dense plants and emerald green leaves that are probably small branches pulled directly from outside the house.
Ling Guoran brought out a plate of cookies from the kitchen.
The freshly baked cookies are still steaming, and the rich aroma of cookies and cocoa beans is wafting in the air, as if silently saying "Come and eat me" and "Come and eat me".
"The unique variant of cocoa beans in the Elf Forest makes delicious chocolate chip cookies. You can't stop eating them!" Bai Dali recommended, "You must try them!"
Lu Yi took the cookie he handed to him with a smile. After seeing Bai eat three or five cookies in a row, he chewed them slowly.
Saman knew a little about cocoa beans. As soon as he took a bite of the chocolate cookie, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "The taste of this cocoa bean is so wonderful. I have seen dozens of varieties of cocoa beans, but I have never tasted such a rich taste!"
"Excuse me, could you please let me see the cocoa tree that bears this fruit?"
Ling smiled and said, "Of course, it's not a big deal. It's just a cocoa tree. If you want, you can ask Xiaobai to take you to see it tomorrow. He knows where those cocoa trees like to grow."
Seeing that Lu Yi and Saman's eyes were on him, Bai Meng nodded and said, "Leave it to me!"
"But Xiaobai, why did you come back so early? Did something happen?" Ling went through the process slowly and asked very naturally.
When asked about the reason, Bai immediately told the story of how he was drugged, thrown into the human tavern, and how he was rescued by Lu Yi and the others.
He even managed to squeeze out two tears with great acting skills.
"...I really considered him a good friend. I never thought he would treat me like this."
Ling looked at him distressedly and comforted him: "It's okay, Xiaobai, he doesn't deserve to be your good friend, you will have more and better friends in the future."
[“Usually, it’s our turn to stand up and say: ‘Yes, Xiaobai, we are your good friends!’”] Lu Yi complained.
[“I didn’t expect this drama to have a beginning and an end.”]
Lu Yi said politely, "Yes, Abai, you will definitely have more close friends who are worth your care in the future."
Ah Bai was deeply moved when he heard Lu Yi's sincere words, and he stopped chewing the cookie halfway.
He called me Abai.
Call me Abai.
I am Abai.
Abai.
White (chew chew chew)!
He swallowed the cookie in his mouth, looked at Lu Yi with emotion and said, "I, I didn't expect you to think so highly of me..."
Seeing his silly son's dazed expression, Ling sighed inwardly and forced himself to resist the urge to hit him on the head.
After a brief chat, Ling patted Bai's shoulder and said, "Now that you're back, what happened outside is over. Don't think too much about it. Your mother is upstairs, go up and see her."
"Okay." Bai responded, turning and walking towards the wooden stairs on the side.
Several people watched him go upstairs.
Before he could look away, Bai stepped back and reminded his old father: "By the way, father, Lu Yi and the others have helped me a lot! You must give them better things!"
"I want good stuff!" Bai emphasized again and again.
Ling: "I know, go now!"
Bai glanced at Lu Yi and Saman and said, "I'll take you to see the cocoa trees tomorrow! It's a deal!"
Only after seeing the two of them nod did he reluctantly go up the stairs.
"If there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know. I will help you as much as I can."
"Then we may actually have an unreasonable request, Mr. Ling." Lu Yi said.
"You are Xiaobai's friends, so you don't have to be so polite and call me Mr. Ling. Just call me Uncle Ling."
"Uncle Ling."
"Hey, good kids, just tell me what you want to say!"
"It's like this..." Lu Yi looked at Saman.
Saman took out the small wooden box, opened it and placed it in front of Ling.
"We are students from Braceside College. We are here on behalf of Braceside to retrieve the items that were once entrusted to the nobles as agreed." Lu Yi explained.
Saman raised the wooden box in his hand and said, "This is a letter."
Ling did not open the letter or take the box, but said solemnly: "This matter is not my responsibility within the tribe. If you trust me, you can give me this letter, and I will give it to the elves who can decide this matter."
"We await your reply." Lu Yi said.
Ling took the small wooden box and said with a smile, "I'd love to give you an answer right away, but obviously not everything can go as I wish. At least today, you may need to stay here for one night."
"Although there haven't been any outsiders for a long time, fortunately the cottages we prepared for the guests are still there - well, they may be a little dirty, but that doesn't affect habitation. With a simple cleaning technique, it will be a beautiful and comfortable little house again...
"Come on, I'll take you there. In a beautiful place like the Elf Forest, you will definitely be able to sleep well and have sweet dreams tonight."
