Before Xu Ling could react, the elegant elf in front of her had turned into a mummy, or rather, a mummy with its head still intact.
"Lingling, wake up."
She looked up at the elf in mid-air in a daze, and then, reminded by the swaying branches in front of her, she came to her senses.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kaopu broke free from Xu Ling's hands and jumped onto Xu Ling's shoulders.
"Hey, wake up."
Even though Xu Ling had already come to her senses, Kaopu still stretched out his cat paw and slapped her face. No one would believe that Kaopu had no ulterior motives!
This is clearly an attempt to retaliate against her earlier actions under the guise of this opportunity!
Xu Ling understood perfectly well, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it right now.
Every time I argue with a reliable person, the conversation inexplicably goes off-topic, just like it did just now!
The most important thing now is to find out what happened to the girl in front of us!
Who exactly are you?
This was the umpteenth time Xu Ling had asked the question. The previous times, the elf deliberately avoided answering. This time, however, being tightly bound by the Tree of Life, she was forced to give up the idea of continuing to tease it.
This time, she didn't hesitate much and bluntly revealed her identity.
"I am an elf!"
This is utter nonsense; Xu Ling certainly knows the other party is an elf!
Her distinctive elf ears are impossible to miss!
Realizing she had asked a stupid question, Xu Ling quickly changed it.
"So what's your name?"
Reliable: ······
To be honest, it felt that this problem wasn't much better than the one before.
However, since Xu Ling had already spoken, Kaopu suppressed his urge to argue and quietly stayed at Xu Ling's feet, continuing to listen.
Upon hearing Xu Ling's question, the elf couldn't help but smile slightly.
She slowly began to speak: "My name is Emerald."
She told Xu Ling her name almost word by word, very solemnly.
Xu Ling looked confused, not quite understanding.
It's just a name, isn't it?
Why does it seem like something that can't be talked about?
Shaking off this strange feeling, Xu Ling continued to ask.
"Jade, is it? Then what is your purpose in appearing here?"
However, this time, the question was no different from the previous one, but the elf tied in mid-air had a drastic change in expression.
Her reaction was strange, as if she had encountered something impossible. She stared at Xu Ling with disbelief in her eyes.
"Why, why are you allowed to call my name?!"
Xu Ling: ? ? ?
That's a good question, and she doesn't know the answer either!
Xu Ling ignored Jade's question and continued to press for what she wanted to know.
"Don't change the subject. What exactly is your purpose in being here?"
Jade: "Why are you able to call my name?!"
Xu Ling: "What is your purpose?!"
Jade: "Why are you able to call my name?!"
As she spoke, Emerald tried to get closer to Xu Ling again.
Her long green hair swayed in the air, and Jade actually swung on a swing in the air, trying to get closer to Xu Ling in this way.
Her actions were so sudden that Xu Ling was startled and took several steps back.
What are you doing!
As Emerald watched Xu Ling retreat, her movements became even more exaggerated, and she cried out urgently, "Don't go! Why are you able to call my name?"
It was the exact same question as before, and Xu Ling couldn't help but frown, looking puzzled as to why she kept asking this.
"Can't I call you by your name?" Xu Ling retorted loudly. "Shouldn't anyone be allowed to call you by your name?"
Of course not!
Jade immediately refuted this in her mind.
However, as for the reason...
She glanced at Xu Ling, finding it difficult to speak.
Seeing the troubled look in Jade's eyes, Xu Ling became even more confused. What was so difficult about this question that couldn't be answered?
Before Xu Ling could ask again, the Tree of Life couldn't stand it any longer and took over the conversation.
If we were to say that, apart from the elves, the only being who truly understands their race is the Tree of Life, which they call the Mother Tree.
However, the Tree of Life in the past could not speak, so naturally no one could obtain information from it.
Although the Tree of Life in front of us often falls into a deep sleep, at least it can speak!
Therefore, after discovering that Jade had been evasive and avoided answering questions, the Tree of Life grew increasingly impatient and, without saying a word, revealed everything it knew.
Among these, there are some that I've never even heard of as reliable.
"Lingling, don't ask her, ask me! I know everything, I'll tell you!"
The Tree of Life, which had been eagerly waiting nearby, finally seized the opportunity to interject.
It stretched out a vine and frantically shook it in front of Xu Ling, trying to attract her attention.
The leaves rustled and swayed in front of Xu Ling's eyes, the tender green leaves crowding together in front of her, almost blocking her view of the elves in mid-air.
Seeing this, Xu Ling shrugged and nodded indifferently.
"OK!"
Anyway, it's true what they say, it's better to communicate with someone who is more cooperative!
Seeing that she agreed, the Tree of Life excitedly shook its branches again in response.
"Lingling, do you remember I said I would give you a gift?"
