Chapter 035 Hidden in the Elf King’s Hair
If something like social death happens a few times, you get used to it.
——Get used to it, damn it!
Being watched by thousands of eyes, Shu Li had an urge to die on the spot.
Why isn't he a gopher?
This way, they could just dig a hole and escape from the scene, burying themselves peacefully.
Shu Li's little wings were stiff for a few seconds. If he didn't flap them, he would fall to the ground. Then, he did something surprising.
——Close your eyes and fly towards the Elf King, flapping your wings quickly, like a small cannonball, rushing towards the Elf King's shoulder.
Because he was going a little too fast, he accidentally bumped into the Elf King's neck, became dizzy, and almost fell down. He quickly grabbed a strand of golden hair and stabilized his body.
As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar.
Shu Li sat down on the button of the cloak, hiding her small body in the Elf King's hair like an ostrich, leaving only a little head exposed.
Elves: (⊙_⊙)
Fairies: (~_~)
There was an eerie silence for a moment.
The black-haired elf standing near the Elf King looked at Shu Li with interest, his blue eyes flashing with a strange light, and he seemed to want to tease the little guy.
As a result, before he could open his mouth, the little cub shrank back in fright, even hiding its little head in the Elf King's hair.
Ilio: ...
Then, a chuckle was heard.
Shu Li blushed when he heard the laughter.
Ahhhhh——
He seems to have done something even more stupid!
Hiding herself in the Elf King's hair seemed to make her even more eye-catching.
However, things have come to this point and he cannot change anything. What else can he do except continue to be an ostrich?
Anyway... I've become a laughing stock, so I might as well... just give up on myself!
Woo woo woo~~
So embarrassing.
Two big tears involuntarily squeezed out of the corners of Shu Li's eyes.
Finally, the Elf King broke the silence, not minding the cub's reckless and rude behavior at all, allowing him to hide in his hair.
"The demonic serpent Bazion Bulgareth?" he whispered softly. "I received its greetings."
Shu Li shook his pointed ears, responded vaguely, and silently apologized to Mr. Orochi in his heart.
In fact, he didn't want to say hello to the Elf King on its behalf in front of so many fairies and elves, but he was too nervous just now, his mind was blank, and he blurted out the words.
The scene he imagined was clearly a quiet environment with no one else around.
...I hope Mr. Orochi doesn't know what kind of occasion he became famous. In any case, he has delivered his greetings and successfully completed his mission.
Shu Li hid in the Elf King's hair and put his hands together.
The other goblin cubs envied Sperien sitting intimately on the Elf King's shoulders, so they looked for adult goblins they were familiar with and followed suit.
Sit, Aisha, Leah, Ores, Dosia... even the bosses in the business district were assigned a cute fairy cub.
The adult elves laughed and let the little ones crawl around on their shoulders. Some even considerately let the little ones sit on their heads to facilitate their visit to the capital of the Elf Kingdom.
After entering the city gate, there is a wide and long road paved with stone slabs. Each stone slab is meticulously carved and tells an ancient legend.
The road is lined with flowers, plants and trees on both sides. Every ten meters there is a tall grooved stone pillar. Fresh vines are wrapped around the pillar, and tiny flowers bloom among the green leaves, adding infinite color to the stone pillar.
Beyond the road is a large grassland with sparse trees and beautifully shaped buildings scattered around. The further you go in, the more buildings there are, until a huge castle comes into view.
Shu Li quietly stuck her head out, grabbed a strand of the Elf King's hair, opened her tender green eyes wide, and looked up at the unparalleled building a hundred meters away.
The unique spire design, the stacked towers, the exquisite sculptures of gods, and the walls that seem to be inlaid with crystals reflect the dazzling sunlight, brilliant and glorious.
The castle occupies a vast area, seamlessly blending with nature. The main structure is suspended above the water, connected to the mainland by four elegantly shaped bridges. Six floating islands drift near the castle, cascading like waterfalls into the lake, creating countless sparkling splashes.
Is this the Crystal City where the elves live?
It was so beautiful that Shu Li thought she had entered a fairyland.
“Wow~~~~~~~”
The newborn fairy cubs were amazed and flew into the air, exploring everywhere like busy little bees.
The young goblin was afraid that they would get lost, so he followed them to look after them.
Shu Li sat on the Elf King's shoulder, looking around, eager to fly with his friends, but because he was shy, he was embarrassed to act and hesitated.
The Elf King felt the little creature on his shoulder tugging at his hair, and he reached out and touched it lightly. "Go if you want!"
Shu Li covered his forehead, unable to resist the temptation of the beautiful scenery. He spread his wings and flew away with the fastest speed in his life with a "whoosh".
After he flew away, Ilio glanced at the slightly messy hair on the Elf King's shoulders and chuckled softly, saying, "He really is very interesting."
Recently, the news about the little guy has spread throughout the Elf Kingdom and the Fairy Forest.
He was taken to the edge of the forest by a magic bird. With his own efforts and the help of monsters, he accidentally ran into Prince Cecilia and the black knight who was chasing him.
Fortunately, the king went to look for him in person and saved his life.
The fairies compiled his story into many poems and spread them to the Elf Kingdom, where he became the center of recent discussions.
"Sperian's spoken English needs to be improved!" Saiya sighed.
She had watched Sperion being born and had always paid close attention to him. Not long ago, during the "Song of Creation," he had missung the true names of all the gods, and just now, when greeting the king, he had stuttered, and she was truly worried about him.
The female elf next to Saya laughed.
Is it possible that the little cub stutters because he is too nervous?
Anyone who suddenly becomes the center of attention would panic, let alone a fairy cub that is only a little over a hundred days old.
According to her, Sperian's performance was quite good.
"Sperien's spoken English has improved rapidly." As the young goblin's first teacher, Sit had the final say. "Not only has he become fluent, he can even recite the true names of the gods by heart."
He knew that Kumandi gave the little guy extra lessons every night, and the effect was remarkable. In just over half a month, he caught up with the learning progress of the other cubs.
He was very pleased that the little guy worked so hard.
Of course, he would occasionally advise the little cub not to be so anxious, and that it was okay to learn slowly. Fairies have long lifespans and only reach adulthood at the age of one hundred. There was plenty of time, and they would eventually learn.
The little cub nodded seriously, turned around and worked even harder, not relaxing for a moment. This invisibly motivated the enthusiasm of the other cubs, and the learning atmosphere in the class was quite strong.
Sit can say with certainty that this group of cubs is the most studious class he has ever taught.
The Elf King looked at the blond cub who had reunited with his friends and said with a smile, "Sperien is doing well."
Shu Li caught up with her friends and had no idea that she had become a hot topic. After getting away from the main group, her sense of shame finally subsided.
He flew up and down in a relaxed manner and had a lot of fun.
Today is Midsummer's Day, and the gates of the Crystal Castle are open to welcome fairies from afar.
The young goblin took the lead and flew into the castle with the cubs.
As soon as he entered the door, Shu Li almost blinded his big, kazilan eyes.
The outside of the castle was gorgeous enough, and the inside was even more magnificent. It was inlaid with gold and jade everywhere, and it was dazzling. I don’t know what material the floor was made of, but it was shining with a warm light, and the reflections of objects were clearly visible.
The antique furnishings, statues and murals are all exquisite. The sunlight shines in from the crystal windows, like golden rays of light on a musical instrument, making the castle hall look solemn and dignified.
Even though it is so luxurious, it does not compromise on taste and exudes an elegant and pure temperament everywhere.
After visiting a corner of the castle, Shu Li felt like a country bumpkin who didn't fit in here.
Compared with the fairy's sacred tree residence and the elves' crystal castle, one is a primitive village and the other is a high-level temple.
The difference between the two is so huge that it is unbelievable.
However, if Shu Li were to choose, he would prefer to live in the sacred tree.
The Crystal Castle is beautiful and gorgeous, but it is too empty and cold, without a trace of worldly affairs.
The Tree God is different. It is a prosperous town, full of vitality and life.
"Sperian, come on!" Budno called out in a loud voice. "There are so many big, fragrant fruits here!"
His breakfast was almost digested and his stomach was growling with hunger. He smelled the fruity aroma in the air and immediately flew to the courtyard.
The yard was full of huge fruits. He was stunned and wanted to pounce on them and take a bite.
However, having learned from his previous experience, he did not dare to act rashly. He suppressed his appetite and flew back to the hall to greet his friends.
Shu Li flew towards Budno. "What fruit?"
Budno pulled at the courtyard door and pointed at the fruits hanging on the trees outside, his mouth watering with greed.
Shu Li looked in the direction he pointed and saw a row of fruit trees. The fruits there were as big as watermelons, covered with thick bumps and thorns, and they were not suitable for young goblins like them to pick.
Besides, they are guests, how can they touch the host’s things at will?
Patting his friend on the shoulder, Shu Li solemnly translated a famous Chinese saying into Elvish: "He who takes without asking is a thief!"
Budno tilted his head and thought for a long time, then responded with an "Oh" as if he understood something, with deep disappointment in his eyes.
Fortunately, the elves didn't let the guests go hungry for too long.
After warmly inviting the goblins into the castle, the elves each took up their duties and became busy.
The goblins were also not idle, and they spontaneously assisted the elves in preparing for the Midsummer celebration.
They brought a large amount of fresh fruits of various sizes and varieties, and sent them to the cafeteria to be washed along with the fruits picked by the elves.
The usually deserted castle is bustling with activity today, filled with laughter and joy.
Don't be fooled by the fairies and elves' elegant temperament, as if they are otherworldly. In fact, they are the most hardworking and skilled at work. Even the Elf King will condescend to do some odd jobs for them.
For example, just by moving your fingers and casting magic, the long table can be neatly placed in the huge hall and then covered with a white tablecloth.
Shu Li was surprised when he saw it for the first time.
Like elves and fairies, there is no obvious class distinction. No matter how noble their status is, they have to work!
The hall is very spacious, with interconnected doors that connect to several small halls, easily enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The elves and fairies put the washed fruits into exquisite plates and, with the help of wind magic, distributed them to each table in turn.
In addition to fruits, there are also toast and biscuits made from ground grains, and cheese made from refined deer milk, which is cut into slices and put into bread as a filling.
In order to take care of the young elves and the cubs, the elves thoughtfully made many small cheese lollipops.
When the cubs saw the cheese lollipops, they flew out from every corner, landed on the dining table, and lay on the edge of the plate. They all had greedy looks on their faces, licked their lips, and stared eagerly.
"Eat it!" The female elf was so cute that she said gently.
After getting permission, the cubs cheered and rushed to grab the lollipops.
Shu Li was too embarrassed to compete with the other kids, so he sat cross-legged on the sculpture's head in the corner, his hands on his chin, in a daze.
"Give."
A familiar boy's voice sounded, and Shu Li came back to his senses, looking at the cheese lollipop in front of him in surprise.
Seeing that he didn’t move, Kumandi held out the lollipop.
Shu Li saw that he still had a lollipop in his hand, so she took it and whispered, "Thank you."
Kumandi sat beside him, quietly eating a lollipop.
Shu Li took a bite of the candy, the sweet taste of milk spread in her mouth, and her eyes sparkled.
tasty!
It reminded him of the lollipop his second brother secretly bought him when he was a kid. He had cavities at the time, and his mother didn't allow him to eat candy anymore, but his second brother couldn't resist his cuteness and bought him one with his pocket money.
The result is predictable.
He had a toothache, and his second brother was being chased by his mother who was holding a feather duster.
Neither of them spoke as they ate cheese lollipops.
A big one and a small one sit on the head of the statue, moving in unison, like brothers.
By the time they finished their candy, the table in the hall was also filled with a sumptuous lunch.
Kumandi stuffed the stem of the lollipop into the storage bag and cast a small cleansing spell on his candy-covered fingers.
"Elves, like goblins, are very tolerant of young. You don't need to feel embarrassed."
Shu Li bit the stem of the candy he had just eaten and stared blankly at the black-haired young fairy.
Is Jingjing, the top student... comforting him?
Kumandi spread his wings, tilted his head to the cub and said, "Let's go down and have lunch!"
"Oh, oh..." Shu Li imitated his movements, put the stem of the lollipop into the storage ring, and jumped off the statue.
As Kumandi had said, the elves were very natural when they saw him, smiling broadly, as if the embarrassing scene in front of the gate had never happened.
Shu Li let go of the knot in his heart and stopped worrying about it. Like the other cubs, he relaxed and sat down on the dining table, found a random seat, and prepared to eat.
"Sperian, your place is not here!" said a male elf with a smile.
Shu Li finally took a cherry-sized red fruit from the plate. When she heard the male elf's words, she looked up in confusion. "Can't I just sit anywhere?"
He didn't see a small table for cubs, so he picked a table near a plate with smaller fruits so that it would be easier to eat.
Little did he know that the male elf told him that he couldn't sit anywhere he wanted.
This really stumped him.
How does he know where he is?
Shu Li held the fruit in her arms, tilted her head back, and gazed at the handsome elf with her bright green eyes. "Can't I sit here?"
The male elf coughed lightly and pointed him in a direction. "Your location is over there."
Shu Li stretched his neck to look, but couldn't see clearly, so he flew into the air with the fruit in his arms.
Soon, he saw the direction the male elf was pointing.
That position - is clearly the throne of the Elf King!
