Reliable and skeptical, he tried again without hesitation.
Once again, it didn't speak softly like before; it roared with all its might.
"·····"
Xu Ling's gaze remained fixed on Kaopu.
When she saw it speak silently for the first time, she looked surprised. When she saw it speak silently for the second time, the veins on its neck bulged, but it still couldn't make a sound. Xu Ling's bad feeling grew stronger and stronger.
However, none of this could compare to the waves that surged within his own heart; he truly could not call upon the name of the Elf King!
"I think I can't shout."
Kaopu turned his gaze back to Xu Ling and murmured to her.
Its face was full of bewilderment, but Xu Ling had no mood to comfort it.
After all, the reality was much crueler for her.
How did she inexplicably get involved with this elf?!
Although Xu Ling was deeply fond of the elf's appearance—she couldn't lie about it; in any case, she was indeed amazed at the first sight of the elf, not to mention that she was so captivated by the elf that she couldn't come to her senses later.
However, now the elf is synonymous with Xu Ling's psychological trauma. Whenever Xu Ling sees an elf, her first thought is to stay far away from it.
They're even calling themselves partners now?!
Are you kidding me?!
She really doesn't like these things!
Xu Ling's expression instantly crumbled, and her mind wandered off into the distance.
Anyway, she found it hard to believe that all of this was real.
"Lingling..."
The Tree of Life swayed its branches before her, but she looked dazed, clearly not yet recovered from her shock.
"Don't worry about her for now!"
But then the elf in mid-air spoke.
She suddenly raised her head, her gaze fixed intently on the Tree of Life: "Put me down quickly!"
What was originally difficult to say was unexpectedly revealed by the Tree of Life.
In that case, the elf has nothing to be embarrassed about.
Now, she is eager to break free from the bondage of the Tree of Life.
She could easily break free on her own, but that would ultimately harm the Tree of Life; otherwise, she wouldn't have refrained from resisting.
But, after so long, shouldn't the Tree of Life put her down?
She only got angry at it for a moment, and now she's been kept in suspense for half a day and has revealed her secret in public. Isn't that enough?
The elf's gaze said it all.
The Tree of Life pondered for a long time, and finally called out to Xu Ling for her opinion.
Unfortunately, Xu Ling was preoccupied with her own thoughts and had no time to pay attention to what was happening outside.
Not receiving a response from Xu Ling, the Tree of Life pondered for a moment longer.
Considering that we need to get along well in the future—no, I should say, we need the elf's help—we can't be too disrespectful to her.
Finally, the Tree of Life hesitantly released the elf.
Jade initially assumed that the Tree of Life was reluctant to put her down because it hadn't made any move.
Seeing this, she felt annoyed.
Since that's the case, she no longer cares whether it will harm the Tree of Life.
Anyway, she's going to come down now!
Just as Jade was gathering her strength to break free, the tree branch binding her began to move.
The branches rustled, and then the jade slowly fell from mid-air.
Soon, the feeling of their feet touching the ground finally gave the elf a sense of security.
Once the elf had regained her footing, the branches binding her began to loosen slowly, scattering around her in circles.
The elf breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she hadn't been forced to use violence!
As she rubbed her hands to relieve the soreness from being tied up, she stepped out without hesitation.
The first thing Jade did after being put down was to find Xu Ling and ask her the reason.
Why was it that Xu Ling could call out her name without any hindrance?
She hadn't missed what the Tree of Life had said—that only the Elf King's consort could call each other by name.
Before the Tree of Life spoke, when she heard Xu Ling utter her name, her first thought was exactly the same as what the Tree of Life had said.
But how could Xu Ling possibly...?
Jade couldn't help but furrow her brow.
She didn't believe it; it was clearly impossible!
Xu Ling must have some other ability to call out her name so easily!
That must be it!
Although she had made up her mind, she still needed Xu Ling's answer in person, so without saying a word, Emerald walked towards Xu Ling.
She was incredibly fast. The Tree of Life had just retracted all its branches and hadn't even had time to react before Emerald was already standing in front of Xu Ling.
At this moment, the fairy was no longer as charming as before; the smile that had been on her lips had suddenly vanished.
Her gaze was sharp, and she couldn't help but scrutinize Xu Ling from head to toe, her lips slightly pursed, revealing a hint of seriousness.
It cannot be denied that she was born from the Tree of Life because of Xu Ling, but no matter what, the Tree of Life is the Tree of Life, and she is herself.
In fact, before this, Jade only regarded Xu Ling as someone who was incredibly lucky and fortunate enough to be favored by the Tree of Life.
After all, what abilities does someone who only knows how to water plants have?
