Chapter 302 Taking a Fragrant Bath
After leaving the Magic Association, the group went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
After eating the food I brought with me for five or six days, I was finally able to enjoy a normal meal.
However, the Snow Country is frozen all year round, the food is monotonous, and fresh fruits and vegetables are scarce, so this meal was not satisfactory.
After leaving the restaurant, everyone decided to go back to the hotel to rest.
Although Nasha was anxious to go to the palace, she was eventually persuaded by Shu Li.
After five or six days of climbing the snowy mountains, I was exhausted. Going to the palace with dark circles under my eyes was a bit disorienting. Better to get some sleep, recharge, and look my best when I see my brother.
Nasha took out the mirror she carried with her and looked at herself. Seeing the bloodshot in her eyes, she agreed immediately.
Loving beauty is a girl’s nature.
Of course she didn't want her brother to see her haggard side.
Back to the hotel room, take a hot shower, then lie on the bed and have a good sleep. I am so happy.
Shu Li took off her clothes and stood in the bathroom. She felt that the hot water provided by the hotel was not enough, so she used magic to give herself a warm shower.
Although it can perform cleansing magic, it is not as comfortable as taking a hot bath.
Shu Li washed for more than half an hour, making herself clean and white. She used magic to dry her body and hair, changed into a loose nightgown, and left the bathroom.
The room was heated and I wasn't cold at all even though I was wearing only my bathrobe.
Fairies hate being bound and always prefer loose clothes.
The nightgown Shu Li was wearing was made of fairy-woven cloth. It was soft, silky and very comfortable.
His freshly washed and blow-dried hair hung down loosely, making his skin look flawless and white. His face, steamed by hot water, was flushed, and he looked as delicate as a peeled egg.
After seeing so many beautiful fairies and elves, Shu Li was completely unaware of her own charm. She walked to the bed on the carpet in her slippers, quickly lifted the quilt, and lay down in it.
The double room is great because it has two single beds, so I don’t have to share one with Ace, which would be awkward.
Pulling up the quilt, he looked at the blond man who was reading a book on the sofa by the window.
The man was very focused, immersed in the book without even looking up. When he finished a page, he gently turned the page with his slender fingers and continued reading.
Shu Li wanted to tell him that she had taken a shower, but she was afraid of disturbing him while he was reading, so she held it back.
After observing for these days and finding more and more "evidence", he gradually accepted the fact that Ace was the Elf King.
However, without breaking that layer of paper, he would never dare to ask in person.
Shu Li's mood changed subtly.
At first there was disbelief, then suspicion, then confusion, and finally acceptance of the fact.
Now, he would quietly dig out more clues from the man, like digging for gold, and never get tired of it.
Sometimes he would wonder, was the Elf King really disguising himself well?
Apart from the face and voice, nothing else has been changed.
It was my own blindness that made me realize the other person's secret only after two years of being together day and night.
Since every time she peeked at him, she was discovered, Shu Li simply looked at the man openly.
Sure enough, even the sitting posture and the way of holding the book are the same!
Perhaps it was because his eyes were too passionate. Ace, who was originally concentrating, put down the book, looked up to meet his straightforward gaze, a faint smile spread across his handsome face, and his green eyes were filled with warmth.
"Have you finished your shower?" His voice was slightly low, with a hint of sexy hoarseness.
Shu Li half-buried her face in the quilt and said vaguely, "Uh-huh, do you want to wash?"
"Wash." Ace closed the book, put it on the table next to the sofa, stood up and walked to the bathroom.
Shu Li hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want me to use magic to make you a warm shower?"
Ace stood at the bathroom door and looked sideways at him. "If it's convenient."
"It's convenient, very convenient." Shu Li didn't get out of bed. He took out a magic wand from the storage bag, pointed it at the bathroom, and chanted several spells in succession.
“Clatter—”
There was a sound of water in the bathroom.
"Okay." Shu Li put away the magic wand and said, "I'll put away the magic after you're done washing."
"Thank you." Ace nodded, stepped into the bathroom and closed the door.
Shu Li lay down flat, staring at the somewhat crude ceiling, was stunned for ten seconds, and suddenly sat up straight.
Oh, I really did that for no reason!
The Elf King is a seventh-level magician like him, so it only takes him a few minutes to get a warm shower. He doesn't need any help at all.
Is this what habit becomes nature?
Because Ace is a wind magician, people think out of habit and forget that he can use other magic.
With a light sigh and scratching of hair, Shu Li lay down again.
He felt that he had to find a suitable opportunity to expose the truth in person, otherwise, the problem would hang there, neither going forward nor backward, which would be very uncomfortable.
But when is the right time?
Shu Li thought about it and felt that no time was appropriate.
He closed his eyes and thought for a long time. Sleepiness came quietly, and before he knew it, he fell into a real sleep. He didn't even notice Ace coming out of the bathroom.
The blond man, still steamy from the shower, stood beside the bed with a helpless smile.
The shower magic in the bathroom was still there, and the little elf who said he would collect the magic was sleeping soundly under the quilt.
The Elf King recited a short spell, and the sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped, and the shower magic disappeared.
He stretched out his slender fingers and gently clicked the small flower crown that had become a hairpin.
The small corolla sensed a familiar scent and instantly changed back to its original shape, its emerald-like leaves emitting a faint fluorescence.
"Sweet dreams." The Elf King whispered, turned around, picked up the book on the table, went back to bed, leaned against the pillow, and continued reading. There was no trace of fatigue between his brows.
Snowflakes were falling outside the window, adding pure white to this snowy city.
The room is warm and suitable for a good sleep.
Shu Li was sleeping soundly, and it seemed as if her soul had left her body and entered a fantastic dream.
He flapped his translucent wings and flew in the fairy forest. As he flew, his attention was attracted by a beautiful flower. He landed on a flower involuntarily, took out his tools, and began to collect pollen like an industrious little bee.
As a little elf, I love drinking nectar the most.
Where does nectar come from?
Of course, it is made by collecting pollen and making nectar.
Fairies have a unique method of making nectar, so they don't have to compete with bees for food.
Shu Li took out a syringe-like magic prop and diligently extracted pollen, collecting one flower after another, and soon filled ten jars.
Because he was too serious about his work, he ignored the dangers around him.
A tall and strong monster walked slowly in the woods, its legs thicker than an elephant's ruthlessly trampling on the flowers and plants on the ground.
It passed by the flowers and stepped on them wantonly, and the flowers were instantly trampled into the mud.
Shu Li was trying hard to extract pollen from a flower. When a large shadow fell on his head, he thought it was a cloudy day.
He looked up blankly and was shocked to see the monster's big paw. He was startled and wanted to escape, but his body froze and he couldn't move.
Just as he was about to be crushed by the monster, a heavenly voice suddenly rang out.
The next second, Shu Li felt his body lighten and was swept away by a gentle breeze and taken away from danger.
"Beauchamp, please watch your step when walking in the Goblin Forest."
The man's voice was so close that Shu Li couldn't help but look around. Soon, he saw the blonde elf sitting on a white unicorn.
ah!
It’s the Elf King!
Shu Li was carried by the wind and floated in the air, blinking her bright green eyes and looking at the Elf King with reverence.
"Your Majesty, good afternoon..."
He spoke Elvish haltingly.
strangeness!
A big question popped up on Shu Li's mind.
I'm already seventeen or eighteen years old, why can't I speak Elvish well?
And, when did this happen? Why didn't he have any recollection of it?
"Good afternoon, Sperian." The Elf King stretched out his hand, and the wind carried the little elf over.
When the wind disappeared, Shu Li landed accurately in the palm of the Elf King.
He saluted awkwardly. "Thank...thank you, King, for saving...saving me."
The Elf King looked at the shy little elf with a gentle gaze. "The forest is full of monsters. It's best to go out with your companions from now on."
"Okay... okay, I understand... I understand." Shu Li nodded obediently.
The Elf King gently touched his little head with his finger, then looked up at the monster whose feet were still hanging in the air.
The Warcraft was feeling uneasy after being "frozen" by the Elf King's magic.
It almost stepped on a goblin to death.
So scary!
Fortunately, the Elf King stopped it, otherwise it would never be able to live in the Fairy Forest for the rest of its life and would be hunted down by the fairies.
Seeing the Elf King looking over, the Warcraft apologized tremblingly: "Please forgive my carelessness, Your Majesty."
The Elf King said, "You should apologize to Sperion."
The Warcraft immediately looked at Shu Li and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, little Sperian, please accept my gift."
It opened its mouth and spat out a pile of expensive crystal ore from the space capsule.
"Ah, no... we don't need so much..." Shu Li stared at the mountain of crystal ore and waved his hands quickly.
However, the Warcraft did not give him a chance to refuse. After the Elf King released the magic that bound it, it ran away.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
The huge body ran, causing the ground to shake violently, startling the small animals hiding in the grass.
Looking at the magical beast that turned into a phantom, Shu Li blinked.
What a generous monster.
"Wang..." Shu Li withdrew his gaze and pointed at the hill of crystal ore on the ground, looking embarrassed.
The Elf King smiled: "Take it!"
With permission, Shu Li flew down from the Elf King's palm, flew around the crystal ore, picked out the largest and purest piece of crystal ore, held it with great effort, and flew towards the Elf King shakily.
"King, this... is for you..."
He carried a crystal ore that was bigger than himself and placed it on the unicorn's head.
There was a little extra weight on its head, and the unicorn made a dissatisfied sound and flicked its flowing tail.
Shu Li hurriedly said: "I'm sorry...Villaya..."
"Hiss!" The unicorn's tail swung even more violently.
The Elf King chuckled, reached out and picked up the crystal ore, and corrected the little elf: "It's Vilia."
Shu Li's face suddenly turned red.
He had misremembered the unicorn's name again.
It has been eighteen years since I came to this other world. Not only can I not speak the Elvish language well, I even often confuse names.
The Elf King accepted the gift from the goblin and said gently, "It's getting dark. Do you need me to take you back to the sacred tree?"
Shu Li shook her head: "I...I'll go back by myself."
The Elf King has to patrol the forest, and he can't cause him trouble.
After flying off the unicorn's head, he put the crystal ore into the storage ring, saluted the Elf King again, flapped his wings, and flew towards the sacred tree.
As he was flying, he looked back and saw that the Elf King was still staring at him.
Shu Li was in a good mood and was about to grin when he bumped headfirst into a tree trunk with a "bang".
ah!
It hurts so much!
Shu Li in the hotel suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his dream.
After a while, he regained consciousness, propped himself up and covered his aching head.
Was that just... a dream?
It feels so real, as if it has happened before.
But it's impossible that he is seventeen or eighteen years old and still can't speak Elvish!
