But things are different now!
As one of only two people who could call her by name, Emerald had to treat Xu Ling differently!
"Tell me, why are you able to call my name!"
The sudden, sharp questioning voice that rang in her ears startled Xu Ling, bringing her thoughts back to her senses.
However, just as she came to her senses, the elf's exquisitely beautiful face unexpectedly came into view.
The distance was so close that it dealt Xu Ling a significant beauty shock, causing her to uncontrollably step back, trying to create some space between herself and the elf.
Xu Ling's action was completely subconscious. Seeing this, Emerald mistakenly thought that Xu Ling wanted to run away, and without thinking, she reached out and grabbed Xu Ling.
The question remains unanswered; she cannot allow Xu Ling to escape.
"Don't run away, you haven't answered me yet!" A hint of impatience flashed across Emerald's face as she pressed aggressively, "What exactly are your abilities?"
Xu Ling's retreating steps were forced to stop, and a sharp pain rippled through her wrist where she was gripping something.
It's clear the elf used considerable force!
Xu Ling frowned, glanced at the icy elf, and her tone became less friendly.
"You're asking me? How would I know? Shouldn't you be the one asking me?"
She returned to the elf the exact conversation between the elf and the Tree of Life.
After saying that, Xu Lingwei raised her head and glared angrily at the elf, completely forgetting how she had previously avoided her.
Perhaps because of the elf's aggressive behavior, Xu Ling was very annoyed.
She just couldn't understand why the elf kept asking her this question.
Shouldn't we look for the cause within the elves themselves?!
She just shouted it out, who knew it would turn out like this!
If she had known this would happen, she would have ignored it and pretended not to hear it!
Jade wasn't stupid; she naturally sensed the provocative tone in Xu Ling's words, which inevitably made her a little annoyed.
"you--"
"stop!"
Jade had barely uttered a single word when the Tree of Life abruptly interrupted it.
The Tree of Life never expected that the elves would be so disobedient!
I shouldn't have let her down!
Otherwise, how would she have had the opportunity to get close to Xu Ling!
The Tree of Life was greatly annoyed, and immediately branches from all directions shot towards the elf.
Emerald remained motionless, letting the branches bind her tightly once more, her hand still gripping Xu Ling's arm without letting go.
"Let go!"
The branches on the elf's body pulled it away from Xu Ling, but Emerald remained unmoved.
If she is pulled backward by the tree branch, she will inevitably pull Xu Ling backward as well.
Even though Xu Ling was resisting, she still couldn't break free from the jadeite.
That hand gripped her firmly like an iron clamp, making it impossible for Xu Ling to break free.
Xu Ling was so angry she laughed. She was about to say something sarcastic when the Tree of Life beat her to it.
The Tree of Life retorted angrily, "Don't think that just because you're—you can do this!"
The words suddenly fell silent, and no one could hear what the Tree of Life had said.
However, at this moment, Emerald suddenly looked up and stared straight at the Tree of Life.
Even though she couldn't hear what the Tree of Life was saying, she knew in her heart what it wanted to say.
Knowing this, Jade could no longer contain her rising anger.
Jade Teeth couldn't help but rub together: "Tell me, what is it?"
The last three characters were almost squeezed out from between the teeth of the jade.
That stunningly beautiful face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression, and the oppressive aura emanating from her spread relentlessly in all directions.
The aura was incredibly intimidating, almost tangible, and rushed towards Xu Ling, who was closest to it. Xu Ling immediately trembled involuntarily and took a step back in fear, increasing the distance between herself and the elf.
At this moment, Xu Ling felt a sense of fear from the bottom of her heart, a fear different from what she had imagined before.
In a daze, the slender and elegant elf figure began to twist and turn into a huge, ferocious beast with a blue face and fangs.
At this moment, the ferocious beast suddenly opened its blood-red maw and roared straight at the Tree of Life, as if it would tear the Tree of Life to shreds if it dared to say anything more!
I never imagined that such a simple sentence from the Tree of Life would cause the elves to shatter their peace and elegance, revealing their terrifying side!
The Tree of Life belatedly realized what it had just said without thinking, and immediately felt guilty, even unconsciously relaxing the branches that were wrapped around the emerald.
Suddenly, silence fell over the surroundings, yet the atmosphere became tense despite no one speaking.
Phil, who had been leading Old John and the others closer, seemed to sense something was amiss. He gradually stopped and observed what would happen from a distance.
Its discerning eyes gleamed; it naturally noticed the strangeness between the Tree of Life and the elves.
It is obvious that this is an unspeakable secret.
Since that's the case, we can only observe quietly for now and wait for the right opportunity.
