Soon, the sudden thought was immediately put away.
Emerald thought about it again and realized that it was Xu Ling, which seemed normal.
Xu Ling planted the only Tree of Life in this world; she gradually transformed the barren, arid desert, sweeping away its lifelessness and restoring it to vitality...
Therefore, it's normal that she would have a scent that elves love.
But... why is it only now that she can smell it?
Jade twitched its small nose, trying to sniff the scents floating in the air.
However, perhaps because Xu Ling was slowly retreating, the smell, which had become quite strong earlier, was now becoming faint again.
Strange, why didn't she smell anything when she was holding Xu Ling before?
The elf was puzzled. Her delicate face unconsciously furrowed, her brows furrowed slightly, and her pale yellow eyes filled with confusion.
Her expression, reminiscent of Xi Shi clutching her heart, was beautiful, but unfortunately, it failed to evoke any concern from Xu Ling. Moreover, she observed Jade's every move with the same wariness one would show an enemy.
Xu Ling still vividly remembered her inexplicable actions yesterday, and today, the fairy's sudden and unexpected blocking of her path without warning was even more incomprehensible to her.
Xu Ling tried her best to maintain her composure, unwilling to show her current fear of the elves.
She frowned and asked in a bluffing manner, "What exactly do you want?!"
His tone was clearly stern, but ultimately, a slight tremor crept in as he finished speaking.
Fortunately, Jade, engrossed in her own thoughts, was completely unaware of her unusual behavior. In fact, she was so focused on finding answers that, under Xu Ling's questioning, she inadvertently revealed the truth in her heart.
"You have a scent that I really like."
The words "I love it so much" were the words the elf used to express her overwhelming infatuation.
Xu Ling: ······
Xu Ling was terrified.
The calm expression he had been trying to maintain immediately cracked, revealing his panic and helplessness underneath.
W-what?! You like it?!
Oh—it's just that the elf is a monster!
This time, she didn't hesitate and took a big step back, creating a considerable distance between herself and Emerald.
The scent lingering around her nose suddenly faded considerably, to the point that she couldn't smell it even if she twitched her nose. Only then did Emerald frown helplessly and snap out of her deep thoughts.
Before she could understand why Xu Ling was suddenly so far away from her, she heard the other person's righteous and indignant voice.
"Give up! I like men!"
Like a declaration, Xu Ling spoke in a loud voice, her tone exceptionally solemn.
Emerald, who had just come to her senses and was completely bewildered, asked: "???? Huh?"
what happens?
Why does Xu Ling look so furious?
The elf looked at Xu Ling, who was not far away, with a puzzled expression. However, before she could ask any further questions, Xu Ling glared at her fiercely.
"Don't forget! You weren't willing at all back then!"
Perhaps blinded by anger, Xu Ling was completely unaware of what she had just said.
She spoke without thinking, continuing her incessant chatter: "Weren't you very angry back then?! I could feel you wanted to kill me after the Tree of Life said those things, and now what do you mean? Humph!"
At this point, she gave a deliberately contemptuous sneer, her eyes blatantly disdainful as she sized the elf up and down. "Give up! No matter how beautiful you are, we're both girls, there's absolutely no chance! From now on, please stay away from me!!!"
With a vicious tone and a fierce look in her eyes, Xu Ling, who thought she had perfectly delivered a harsh threat, turned around and fled without hesitation, regardless of how the elf would react.
Ugh! Where the reliable one went again?! Why did they leave her to face this situation alone?!
Holding her breath, her steps were a little unsteady, but with her strong willpower, she finally managed to escape from the spot.
Soon, the person disappeared without a trace, and even the hem of Xu Ling's clothes disappeared from sight. However, at this moment, Emerald was still standing there in a daze, with only one question in her mind - what exactly happened?
Fortunately, Jade was only temporarily frightened and hadn't yet lost her temper. So, after a moment, she finally understood what Xu Ling meant.
In that instant, her eyes widened for the first time ever, like copper bells, which showed just how shocked she was by Xu Ling's words.
To put it bluntly, it completely overturned her expectations!
No, why is Xu Ling so self-righteous?!
Jade doesn't deny that she's interested in Xu Ling. Of course, the scent she accidentally caught on Xu Ling today makes her even more eager to get closer.
But, but! She hasn't reached that level of perversion yet!
She simply liked her as much as she liked the mother tree; there was absolutely no other meaning behind it!
"Why--"
Emerald instinctively reached out her hand, wanting to stop Xu Ling and explain that she really didn't mean it that way.
But when she looked closely, the girl who had been glaring at her fiercely just moments before was nowhere to be seen.
No way! She refuses to take the blame! She never meant it that way!
Afterwards, setting aside other interesting ideas for the time being, in order to clear her name, Emerald began to relentlessly pursue and intercept Xu Ling.
Logically, Xu Ling is still a little short of points. To earn more points, she should have to come to the farmland, so she should be able to easily catch people there.
But to my surprise, the truth was not like that at all!
No matter how well Jadeite timed her attack, or even if she was almost about to successfully trap Xu Ling, she always failed at the last minute.
—Every time she landed, Xu Ling would immediately vanish from her sight!
There was nothing she could do; in the end, she could only gaze at the empty space before her and sigh in vain.
Just as Emerald was fretting about when she would be able to clear up the misunderstanding, Xu Ling was also fretting about when Elf would be able to restrain herself and not get close to her!
She was only a few points short, and what should have been a two-day task was dragged out for several days because she had to be wary of the elves getting close!
"It's all your fault!" Xu Ling was furious because she had seriously slowed down the progress. She poked Kaopu's head hard. "If you hadn't suddenly disappeared that day, would we have wasted so much time?"
If it were reliable, the elf would never have the face to say such a thing!
