The elven girl moved quickly and reached the highest point of the Tree of Life in almost no time.
Just as she had steadied herself on the slender branch at the top, a huge head suddenly appeared beside her.
A thick, sharp beak swept across the elf girl's shoulder, and its large, golden eyes, though close at hand, remained fixed on her.
Anything magnified can appear somewhat frightening, but the elf girl's expression remained unchanged when faced with such enormous eyes.
His face was calm and expressionless, and even a hint of a smile appeared in his emerald green eyes, with the corners of his eyes visibly curving upwards.
As if infected by her emotions, its huge, sharp beak opened slightly, about to respond with an affectionate call.
However, before it could actually make a sound, a slender finger pressed down on its upper beak, forcing it to obediently close its mouth.
"Don't make a sound." The elven girl made a shushing gesture to her lips with her other hand, telling the large bird in front of her to be quiet.
The large bird blinked its huge eyes and obediently remained silent.
Seeing how obedient she was, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the elven girl's eyes. She then reached out and touched the pointed beak above her shoulder, asking softly, "Did no one notice?"
The large bird was about to open its beak to answer when the elven girl pinched it again. "Never mind, never mind, just stay quiet."
She almost forgot that the large bird in front of her was a thunderbird, whose cry was like thunder. If it really made a sound, people who didn't know before would know.
"It probably hasn't been discovered." She nodded to herself, convincing herself of that.
The next second, she patted the Thunderbird's sharp beak. "Let's go!"
As she spoke, she immediately flipped over, stepped onto the beak, and walked towards the Thunderbird's head.
However, before the elven girl could reach the top of the thunderbird's head, a sudden sound shattered the tranquility.
Where are we going?
The leaves in the nearby trees rustled in response to the sound, and the elven girl immediately turned her head, her wary gaze shooting in that direction.
The moment the elven girl's gaze fell upon it, the dense layers of leaves were brushed aside by a hand, revealing the true face hidden behind them.
"Jade?" Upon seeing the other person's appearance, the elven girl frowned slightly and immediately recognized them, "What are you doing here?"
Yes, the person who came was indeed Jade.
However, this is very strange!
Logically speaking, the elf girl and Emerald should be complete strangers!
At this time and place, having suddenly met, shouldn't both sides be secretly wary of each other?
Judging from the current situation, the elven girl showed no panic at all about being discovered. Moreover, her questioning of Emerald was so confident that it made Emerald's sudden appearance seem rather illogical.
However, not only was the elf girl's attitude strange, but even Emerald's attitude towards the elf girl was inexplicably odd.
Anyway, they have everything, but they're not vigilant!
Because her name had been called out, Emerald no longer tried to hide it. She took a few steps forward gracefully, revealing her entire figure to the other person's view.
There was still some distance between them when Emerald stopped, crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow, and asked instead of answering, "Where are you going, Bilodis?"
Not only did the elven girl... no, it should be called Bilodis, know Emerald's name, but Emerald also knew the other's name.
Of course, jade knows more than just this...
“Or rather, the mother tree?” she added casually.
Even though Emerald exposed her identity, Bilodis remained calm, except for some regret for not leaving immediately.
To be honest, she had considered that her identity would be discovered by Emerald. Although she had been extremely careful, she knew that one day Emerald would find out when she was traveling as an elf and giving birth to a child.
It'll happen sooner or later!
She just didn't expect that Emerald would find out sooner than she thought, giving her no chance to leave at all!
A hint of annoyance flashed in Bilodis's eyes, but the die was cast—she was leaving today no matter what!
She impatiently dismissed Emerald, "What business is it of yours what I'm going to do? I saw that Thunderbird has come all this way, can't I ask it to take me for a spin in the sky?!"
After saying that, she plopped down on the Thunderbird's head, and quickly patted the Thunderbird with her right hand hidden in the shadows, signaling it to fly away now, no matter what!
Unfortunately, even though she was extremely careful, Emerald still managed to catch her completely.
Before Thunderbird could even spread its wings, Emerald had already flashed behind Bilodis.
"Is this fun?" Emerald replied perfunctorily. "Then take me with you!"
Bilodis: "????! You can't leave!"
Emerald's lips curled into a smile, and she asked feigning ignorance, "Go? Where to? Didn't we just say we were going to fly up into the sky for a bit?"
Bilodis: ...Damn it!
Ignoring her silence, Emerald continued, "I haven't seen Thunderbird in a long time either, so it's perfect that I'm with you all!"
Bilodis: ······
She remained silent, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't fool Jade at all!
With no other option, she had to abandon her plan, so Bilodis patted the Thunderbird again to signal it.
She then jumped off the Thunderbird's head, raised an eyebrow at Emerald who was still sitting there, and said, "Get down, I'm not leaving!"
"No!" Emerald remained seated, resting her chin on her hand, and replied, "I didn't say you couldn't leave, it's just..."
She deliberately flashed a smile, "If you're leaving, let's go together!"
Finally, Jade revealed her purpose.
She stared intently at Bilodis, clearly determined to leave with her!
Hmph, don't think that just because you stopped her last time, her desire to leave has been extinguished!
You should know that the reason she had been so quiet and didn't do anything else all this time was because Qing was waiting for this opportunity!
