Xu Ling spoke those two simple words with such conviction, showing her extremely firm attitude!
There's no other way; it seems I'll have to rely on myself!
Kaopu sighed, then struggled to get up.
However, Xu Ling had her hands firmly gripping its fate, and no matter how much it twisted and turned, it couldn't escape Xu Ling's grasp.
"Xu Ling, let go!"
The helpless kitten growled angrily, but Xu Ling remained unmoved, continuing to hold it tightly.
Today, the only reliable person I can do is be her pawn and stand with her against external threats!
Of course, Kaopu wouldn't listen to Xu Ling. He immediately showed Xu Ling with his actions that it was impossible!
Kaopu used even more force than before and began to twist, but Xu Ling was not to be outdone and continued to pinch him hard, not letting Kaopu break free at all.
The two got so caught up in their competition that they completely forgot about the elf watching them, and they continued their entanglement as if no one else was around.
The elf blinked, her hands clasped as she watched the farce unfold before her without uttering a sound, but everyone could see the corners of her mouth curving into a clear smile.
Perhaps because the elf didn't show any malice, Kaopu and Xu Ling argued for a long time until Kaopu finally ran out of energy and had no choice but to give up, ending the farce.
Looking at Kaopu, who was hanging his head and looking dejected, Xu Ling couldn't help but feel smug.
Hmph, if someone is reliable, they should listen to you!
However, her smugness was shattered before it could last long.
Seeing that Xu Ling and the other girl seemed to have finished, the elf suddenly asked, "Are you done?"
Her tone carried a hint of curiosity, and as she spoke, her gaze kept shifting back and forth between Xu Ling and Kaopu.
Xu Ling and Kaopu both froze instantly, the same thought flashing through their minds.
Oh no, I forgot about her!
A strange sense of shame welled up in Xu Ling and Kaopu's hearts; who could have imagined that they would be so completely oblivious to each other?
Fortunately, the elves didn't have any ill intentions towards them. Whenever an elf had any bad intentions, it would usually hit them instantly, and Xu Ling and the others wouldn't have time to react.
As soon as the elf finished speaking, an awkward atmosphere began to fill the surroundings.
Kaopu simply played dead to escape, and before Xu Ling could even react, he immediately collapsed into Xu Ling's arms like a lump of mud.
After that, no matter how much Xu Ling shook it, it remained unmoved.
Who would have thought that in the end, Xu Ling would still be facing the elves alone!
And it's even more embarrassing than before!
Xu Ling was momentarily stunned and had no idea what to do. She could only instinctively lower her head and shake the reliable one in her hand frantically.
Don't think she doesn't know that being reliable is just an act!
It won't escape!
Xu Ling's movements became more exaggerated; if it were a real cat, it might actually have been shaken awake.
Unfortunately, no matter what Xu Ling did, Kaopu remained dead.
"What's wrong, Lingling?"
A clear, melodious voice reached her ears, seemingly right next to her. Xu Ling looked up abruptly and instinctively took a few steps back.
Before she knew it, the elf was already only a few steps away from her. If the elf hadn't suddenly spoken, she wouldn't have noticed!
Although she had just had a quarrel with Kaopu, Xu Ling still hadn't forgotten her fear of elves.
"What, what are you going to do?"
Xu Ling regained her vigilance, keeping a close eye on the elf's movements.
Seeing the elf take a few more steps forward, Xu Ling immediately took a few steps back, determined not to let the elf get any closer.
Undeterred, the elf took a few more steps forward. This time, before Xu Ling could retreat, the Tree of Life made its move.
A green branch suddenly attacked the elf from behind, but the elf didn't even turn around, nimbly dodging it to the side.
However, the Tree of Life had anticipated that the elf would dodge, so in fact, more than one branch came hurtling towards her.
However, these branches subconsciously avoided Xu Ling's location to prevent hurting her, and they didn't even dare to attack her from behind.
The elf's green hair fluttered in the air, and it was much more difficult for her to dodge than before, but she still noticed it.
Remembering how the Tree of Life had openly expressed its care for Xu Ling from the very beginning, the elf had a sudden inspiration. It kicked away a branch that was sneaking up from the right and used the force to fly towards Xu Ling.
The elf moved with incredible speed, arriving beside Xu Ling in the blink of an eye.
"Lingling, help me out."
She smiled at Xu Ling, making a request, but her actions left no room for refusal as she embraced Xu Ling.
Just then, a vine suddenly sprouted from behind Xu Ling and attacked the elf with lightning speed.
Because of the close proximity and the fact that the elf was caught off guard, he was actually hit squarely by the vines this time!
"Haha, I finally caught you!"
Seeing the elf tightly bound by the vines, the Tree of Life laughed triumphantly, as if it felt that a single vine was not enough, and several more branches were wrapped around the elf as well.
Round and round it went, almost from head to toe, until finally only the elf's head remained, while everything else was destroyed.
Of course, the Tree of Life didn't mind getting tangled around her head too, but it refrained from doing so because it thought Xu Ling might ask some questions.
The battle between the elves and the Tree of Life began and ended in the blink of an eye.
