At first, Emerald didn't know that this was a feeling of fullness; she just felt that spending a lot of time with Xu Ling always gave her plenty of energy.
Of course, there were a few times when I felt a little hungry, but that feeling would disappear completely once I got close to Xu Ling.
At first, Jade didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just because she liked Xu Ling's scent too much.
But it wasn't until I went to the Misty Forest with Fei Er that I realized I hadn't seen her.
When her whole body was surrounded by that greenery and vitality, and she could feel the fresh power at all times, she was surprised to find that the scent on Xu Ling's body was similar to this power!
No... it should be said that Xu Ling's scent was purer and more appealing to her body and mind.
That's why she couldn't wait to clear up the misunderstanding after she came back.
Before this, although she had tried hard to get this opportunity to have a proper talk, she had never been this impatient.
Now, she even more wanted to accompany Xu Ling to find Ruth...
Jade poured out her thoughts, then couldn't help but ask, "...Do you have any way to get Xu Ling to invite me to go with her?"
Tree of Life: ······
To be honest—
There's nothing it can do!
Silence once again spread between the Tree of Life and the Emerald, and the elves, receiving no response, immediately understood the Tree of Life's meaning.
She couldn't help but sigh, a sense of dejection enveloping her like a dark cloud, the atmosphere so oppressively low.
In truth, Emerald knew that speaking to the Tree of Life wouldn't necessarily be successful. She hadn't had particularly high hopes, but since things turned out exactly as she expected, her spirits still sank uncontrollably.
If asking others is useless...
Her gaze involuntarily turned expectantly toward Xu Ling.
Unfortunately, just like before, Xu Ling's attention was entirely focused on Fei Er, and she didn't notice the gaze that had fallen on her again.
Xu Ling and Fei Er were still intently discussing their plan to find Ruth.
One thing Jade was right about: Xu Ling's words about getting along well did indeed sound somewhat perfunctory.
Although the current elves are very different from those of the past, once bitten, twice shy.
Therefore, it is undeniable that the elf's actions cast a huge shadow over Xu Ling, so much so that even though she has changed, Xu Ling is still uneasy.
Unfortunately, Xu Ling isn't the type to be carefree; she won't immediately forget her past impressions just because the elf has changed.
After all, what if?
If the elf reverts to her old ways, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
Of course, despite thinking this, she didn't verbally reject Jade's suggestion.
Xu Ling wasn't stupid; she could naturally sense that Kaopu and the Tree of Life were doing their best to ease the tension between her and Jade.
Even without them explaining, she knew perfectly well that the elf was the most powerful among them.
Those who understand the times are wise.
She wasn't the protagonist in any of the many novels she read, where a single line like "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!" would grant her the power to rival elves in the future.
Life is not a fantasy. To be honest, she didn't need to offend the powerful for some unimportant things. After all, she might feel good now by fighting for a moment's pride, but in the end, she would be the one who suffers a miserable fate.
Xu Ling isn't smart, but she knows how to maximize her benefits. Anyway, it was just a matter of one sentence and one hug, so she didn't lose much, did she?
Besides, as I said before, finding Ruth is the most important thing!
"Shall we leave now?"
Without any of the jade imaginings, Xu Ling and Fei Er were carefully considering their plan to find Ruth. Xu Ling bluntly asked Fei Er if they should set off immediately.
As for reliability? It's a system, so for now, you just need to follow its instructions!
Fei Er nodded indifferently: "Anything is fine, as you please."
Xu Ling was very satisfied with this answer, and she couldn't wait to leave!
However, just as she was about to nod, Kaopu suddenly pounced on her from nowhere, instantly landing on her shoulder and delivering a series of vicious cat punches to her face.
"You've got nothing to do all day and are completely relaxed, but you should at least consider that Fil just came back from the Misty Forest! Let him rest a bit! And while you're at it, let Fil say goodbye to Thanos!"
The reliable cat, frustrated and disappointed, delivered another cat-like punch to Xu Ling's cheek. Fortunately, it had kept its sharp fingertips hidden the whole time, so apart from a reddened cheek, the punch did not scratch Xu Ling's face.
Xu Ling covered her cheek, then suddenly realized what had happened.
Then, looking apologetically at the enormous Moonlight Silver Wolf, she said, "Fei'er, I'm sorry, I was too hasty. Let's rest for the night, recharge our energy, and set off again tomorrow!"
Hearing Xu Ling say that she would only have one night to rest, Kaopu rolled his eyes and couldn't help but raise his cat-like fist to punch her again.
Where would you find something like this?
You should at least give me a day or two!
After all, Fei'er has just been cured of the poison, so she should be given some time to recover!
Xu Ling was too hasty!
It was about to teach Xu Ling another lesson when Fei Er stopped it.
"Wait a minute, reliable sir!" Fearing that his fist was too big and he might accidentally hurt Xu Ling, Fei Er simply rubbed the side of Xu Ling's face with his wolf head.
The thick, dense silver-white fur acted as a barrier, directly blocking the attacks of the reliable cat punch.
However, Fier completely underestimated the power of her mouth!
He only wanted to block her, but he didn't expect that his poke would directly knock the unsuspecting Kaopu off Xu Ling's shoulder!
The dumbfounded Moonlight Silver Wolf: ......
Xu Ling, who felt the weight on her shoulders suddenly lighten: ? ? ? ? What happened?
The change happened too fast, catching everyone off guard. Even Kaofu himself didn't have time to react and could only stare in disbelief as his body fell to the ground.
Because it wasn't far off the ground, it fell very quickly. Just when it thought it was going to inevitably crash to the ground, it didn't expect that the ground beneath it would suddenly become soft!
It wasn't the hard, clayy feel of earth, but rather a soft texture with a hint of... warmth.
