Chapter 141 Confessing to a Friend
What is going on?
Why are his three little friends sleeping in a row under the mother tree?
They even cleverly found a groove in the tree roots to block the night wind, wrapped in soft blankets, revealing three fair and tender faces.
Countless little question marks popped up in Shu Li's head.
There were three rooms in the yard with lights on, but the little goblin was sleeping soundly under the mother tree, which looked weird no matter how you looked at it.
Shu Li flapped his wings and landed gently in front of his three friends, blinking in confusion.
Could it be that... his lie about studying in the Elf King's room had been exposed? Then they quietly followed him and saw him crawl into the trunk of the mother tree.
Otherwise, why would you hide in the groove of a tree root instead of sleeping on a good bed?
Apparently she fell asleep while waiting for him.
After being surprised, Shu Li felt a little amused and helpless.
Angel, who is a bit treacherous, must have noticed something wrong with him in the early morning. But he acted as if nothing had happened during the day, which made him let down his guard.
I didn't expect to block him here!
Shu Li didn't feel angry because her secret was discovered, but she felt a little sorry for making her friends worry.
They are his closest friends and the good brothers who have been with him since he came to this other world.
It can be said that it was because of their company that he did not feel lonely and isolated.
They trusted him absolutely and put him first in everything. From being ignorant to being sensible and polite, they gave each other the most sincere friendship.
Sid and Elsa often lamented that their group of goblins were different from others. In fact, they were influenced by him. From his words and deeds to his thoughts and ideas, they unconsciously imitated and learned from him.
When Shu Li realized this, she set an example, worked hard to provide correct guidance, was positive, optimistic and cheerful, bravely faced challenges and difficulties, and allowed the little fairies to thrive.
As they grow older, the little fairies gradually show their own characteristics. Each of them has different ideas, begins to pursue higher goals, shows their best selves, and becomes more mature.
Shu Li is happy to see their changes and hopes that they can become partners fighting alongside him in the future.
Especially the three little goblins in front of him, they are more compatible with him.
In life, it is enough to meet a few friends who trust each other, support each other and treat each other sincerely.
Shu Li looked at them with a gentle gaze. She approached them and gave each little elf a kiss on the face.
Angel was kissed and opened his eyes drowsily. With the help of the bright moonlight, he saw the blond elf in front of him. It was none other than Sperian, whom they had been waiting for for half the night. He suddenly woke up, reached out his hands, hugged him, and rubbed him hard.
"Sperian! You're back! Great!"
Angel exclaimed in surprise.
When he shouted, Desio and Budno were also awakened from their sleep. They suddenly threw off the blanket and looked around.
"Sperian is back? Where? Where?"
When they saw Shu Li being hugged and rubbed by Angel, they immediately pounced on her and grumbled loudly.
"Sperian, you're finally back! We were so worried!"
"Yeah, yeah, you were suddenly eaten by the mother tree. I was scared to death!"
Shu Li was hugged by the three little goblins, his cheeks turning red. Hearing their words, he patted their backs guiltily to comfort them.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I wasn't eaten by the mother tree. Also, be quiet or you'll wake the elves."
After he reminded them, the three little goblins immediately shut up and let go of their arms.
After Shu Li regained his freedom, he straightened his hooded cloak that was almost rubbed off.
Angel saw the Sunstone protective gear on him and opened his mouth slightly.
Sure enough, I was not mistaken in the early morning. The forehead ring on Sperian's forehead was inlaid with sunstone!
Shu Li straightened his cloak, looked at his three anxiously faced friends and asked, "First, tell me what's wrong with you? Why are you lying here sleeping?"
Dizio sniffed and told the truth: "Angel said you were acting strangely, as if you were hiding something from us."
Budno nodded repeatedly. "I clearly saw Wang and Ilio walking towards the library last night. They weren't in the room at all!"
Angel pointed to his forehead ring and said, "I saw your sunstone forehead ring last night."
Shu Li touched the forehead ring and stared in surprise.
He thought his excuse was flawless and could deceive everyone, but he had no idea that it was full of loopholes.
People really can't rely on luck.
"...So you guys just followed me secretly?" Shu Li put down his hands and asked helplessly.
His perception range is limited, so as long as his friends restrain their breath and keep a safe distance, they won't be able to detect him at all.
"Hmmmm."
The three little goblins nodded in unison, and then rushed to speak.
"You were suddenly eaten by the mother tree, which gave us a big scare!"
"Did the Mother Tree force you to sign an unequal contract?"
"You're wearing advanced protective gear. Did you go to a dangerous place?"
"We were so worried about you that we just sat here and waited."
"I've been waiting for a long time, but you didn't come back."
"I ended up falling asleep while waiting..."
Shu Li couldn't help laughing when she saw their pointed ears drooping.
Only the attentive Angel would think of not forgetting to cover himself with a small blanket before falling asleep.
He hugged his three friends and said sincerely, "Thank you!"
"No need to thank me, just tell me what's going on!" Desio asked anxiously.
Budno and Angel also looked at him expectantly.
Shu Li was stared at by three pairs of pure and bright eyes. He sighed inwardly and decided to confess.
but--
"Do we have to stand here and talk?"
As he spoke, he gathered his cloak.
It's still a bit chilly at night in Elfland.
Angel immediately picked up the small blanket and covered him with it. "Let's go back to the room and talk."
Shu Li hugged the soft and warm blanket. "Let's go to my room!"
"Yeah!"
Soon, four little fairies flapped their fluorescent wings, flew towards Shu Li's room, and slipped into the house through the narrow crack in the window.
Angel looked at the window with a small gap and suddenly realized.
No wonder Sperian came back so quietly, that's how he came back.
Shu Li turned on the magic stone lamp and the light in the room came on.
Disio was impatient and circled around him: "Sperian, can you tell me now?"
Shu Li said, "Go back to your room and wash up first. Then come over after you turn off the lights. We'll lie on the bed and talk slowly."
"All right--"
The three little goblins left Shu Li's room in a hurry.
Shu Li took the opportunity to go to the bathroom to wash up and changed into a comfortable and loose pajamas. When he finished, the boys came back.
Each one was washed white and tender, exuding a light floral scent. Budno held his beloved little pillow in his arms, threw himself into Shu Li's bed, and rolled around in the soft quilt.
"Sperian, please tell me, I can't wait!"
Shu Li closed the door and dimmed the magic stone lamp, creating a warm atmosphere in the room.
The four little fairies lay together in the quilt and started chatting at night.
"Well, where should I start?" Shu Li said, "It's a long story."
"It's better if it's longer. I like listening to long stories the most!" Budno said excitedly.
"Okay! The story begins fifteen years ago..." Shu Li just started talking when Discio exclaimed.
"Fifteen years ago? We were just born!"
Shu Li looked at him.
Angel covered his mouth. "Don't interrupt!"
"Mmmm---" Desio struggled. His nose was blocked and he couldn't breathe.
Seeing this, Angel quickly let go.
Disio breathed heavily with his tongue hanging out like a puppy.
Budno secretly took out some snacks from his storage ring and tried to eat them while listening, but Shu Li discovered him, held his hand, and said sternly, "I've told you many times not to eat snacks before bed."
Although the fairy's teeth can grow again after being pulled out, tooth decay will cause toothache.
"Okay!" Budno reluctantly put away the snacks.
After the guys quieted down, Shu Li officially began to talk about his first visit to the Elf Kingdom, when he was seduced by the unconscious Mother Tree and sucked its blood to sign a contract. Later, he was teleported to the territory of the Dark Elves, where he learned the Silent Purification Technique and purified the branches of the Mother Tree in Vanaku.
The little friends were stunned when they heard it, and their mouths were so wide open that they forgot to close them.
Shu Li then talked about how he stole the fruit and his cooperation with the dark elf Efit.
The story was indeed very long, and his mouth was dry as he spoke. He got up in the middle to boil a pot of water. After quenching his thirst, he continued to narrate the story vividly.
By the time he finished speaking, it was already two or three in the morning.
The little friends were not sleepy at all. Instead, they were extremely excited and almost danced on the bed.
"Sperian, you are so awesome!"
"I knew Sperian was the bravest!"
"Great! You purified the Mother Tree, restored her to life, and stole the fruit back from the Dark Elves!"
"But... I think the Mother Tree is a little bit bad. She actually tricked you into signing a contract!"
"Yes, that's right. And you have to go to the dark elves' territory frequently to purify the branches. Isn't that a form of enslavement?"
The three little goblins looked at Shu Li worriedly.
"It's not slavery." Shu Li waved his hand, tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I want to be a hero. Helping the mother tree is helping myself."
"Brave man?" Question marks appeared in the eyes of the little friends.
"Right!" Shu Li sat up cross-legged and said seriously, "Although the War of the Gods ten thousand years ago sealed the God of Darkness, through my communication with the Mother Tree, I feel that the God of Darkness will make a comeback."
"By then, the continent will be plunged into war again. As children of light, the elves and fairies have the responsibility and obligation to fight for the God of Light. They must once again seal the God of Darkness and restore peace to the earth."
"We must become strong as soon as possible and become the king's helper!"
"The Mother Tree was tainted by the power of darkness and nearly lost its true nature. Since I have the power to purify her and the fruit, I will do all I can to help her."
"Besides, thanks to the Mother Tree, I also learned silent magic!"
Shu Li raised his hand and compared his biceps.
He only talked about his purification of the mother tree, and kept his trip to the desert secret for the time being.
After hearing his words, the three little goblins were overwhelmed with emotion and excitedly held his hands.
"Sperian, we want to be heroes too!"
There was a determined light in the clear eyes, as if a flame was burning, hot and bright.
Brave! Brave! Brave!
Together with Sperian, they must work hard to grow and become powerful warriors, defeat the God of Darkness, and save the world!
Shu Li couldn't help but feel her blood boiling after successfully igniting the second-year mentality of her friends.
"Brave Sperian—"
Discio jumped up, used his fingers as swords, raised his right hand, and opened his mouth to sing. Shu Li was quick to rush over and covered his mouth.
What's the big deal about singing in the middle of the night?
However, if you cover one, you cannot cover the other two.
"Brave Sperian, fearless of danger..."
Shu Li had no choice but to raise her hand and make a quiet gesture.
"Shhhhh! Sing in the middle of the night, or the elves will come and spank you!"
When they heard about spanking, the three little goblins immediately became quiet.
Shu Li sighed, lay down in the quilt, and urged: "It's late, let's go to bed."
"I can't sleep." Discio puffed his cheeks.
They lay down under the tree and took a nap. After listening to the story of Sperian and the mother tree, their minds were full of "brave men" and they had no desire to sleep.
"I can't sleep either," Angel said.
"Sperian, say more, I want to hear more!" Budno rubbed Shu Li.
Shu Li had been busy all night and told a story, so he was already sleepy. He pulled the quilt and closed his eyes.
“If you want to be a brave man, you must first go to bed early and get up early, and develop good habits.”
Although it is only a few hours away from dawn, it is still time to go to bed.
I hope Saya doesn't come to wake them up in the morning.
Seeing that he was really sleepy, the three goblins calmed down, turned off the magic stone lamp, and slept next to him.
I tossed and turned in bed for a while, then sleepiness came over me and I slowly fell asleep.
The moonlight leaked into the room, spreading silver frost all over the ground.
On the huge bed, four little goblins were sleeping in a mess. The Elf King suddenly appeared, looked at them for a moment, stretched out his fingers, and covered them with the quilt.
