"Excuse me, who are you?" Patrick's heart sank. Does Priest Ivy already have an elf he likes?
"Patrick, don't you recognize me?" Tang smiled when he saw him.
The elf before him looked very noble. Patrick studied his face and said, "You look familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen you before. Who are you?"
"I'm Tang." Tang smiled, "I'm grown up."
"King?!" Patrick's gentle eyes flashed with surprise, then turned to joy. He looked down at the newly grown Elf King and said, "Really? How did you suddenly grow up? That's great! Everyone will be happy to know about it. You're so handsome."
Tang had a beautiful heart, but as a king, he had to maintain his composure in front of his elf and couldn't be as willful as he was when he was little. "Patrick is also very beautiful. By the way, are you looking for me?"
"No..." Patrick glanced at the figure sitting in the room, and the courage he had just mustered had completely dissipated. He looked at Tang and smiled, "But let's put that matter aside for now. Wang Changda's matter is more important. I'll go tell everyone."
"Ah!" Tang was inexplicably nervous. Suddenly, everyone knew that he had grown up. However, it was already impossible to stop Patrick from pulling him away.
The Elf King was born several years ago in the Elf Forest. He was lively and adorable, and all the elves loved him. They thought it would take decades or even centuries for the King to grow up, but they didn't expect that in just a few years, the King already wanted to grow up.
When the elves saw the grown-up Elf King, they surrounded him three times inside and three times outside, with satisfaction, praise and amazement in their eyes.
"The king has really grown up and is so handsome." An elf praised.
"Oh my God, I didn't expect that I could see the king grow up in just a few years. The king is as beautiful as the most beautiful flower on the tree of life." said another elf.
"Seeing such a beautiful king, I feel like singing," said an elf who also had blonde hair.
"Why does the king suddenly want to grow up?" asked a green-haired elf.
"Yes, isn't it happy to be an elf?" The other elf also had some doubts.
"It's fun to be an elf, but I want to grow up." Tang's eyes wandered. "When I grow up, I can walk very fast, and Lin won't have to worry about me all the time."
"You are a sensible and obedient elf, but I think Priest Ivy would be happy to take care of you forever." said an elf who was looking at his long hair in amazement.
"That's right. Priest Ivy might feel sorry that the king has grown up so quickly." Patrick laughed.
"When the king grows up, he can live on his own. Lord Ivy must feel very sorry that he can't take care of such a lovely king personally." A very gentle-looking elf smiled.
"However, the king's previous house is occupied by Lord Ivy. Now that the king wants to live alone, he still needs to build a new house. You can tell us what kind of house you like." said an elf.
"Gail, that's not a problem. The king must like the small house built by Priest Ivy. If he wants to build the same one, I'm afraid he will need Priest Ivy's help." Another elf said with a smile.
"That's right, but I think Master Ivy would be happy to help build the king's new house."
The elves chattered in unison. Even though their naturally good voices didn't sound noisy, Tang Ben's high spirits softened slightly as he heard the meaning behind their words. "Why do we have to live separately? Lin promised me that we'd live together even after we came of age."
The elves fell silent for a moment. Gale looked at Tang's expression and asked, "Is the king reluctant to part with Priest Ivy?"
"The king is still like when he was a child, he likes to stick to Priest Ivy. Our Taoist king likes Priest Ivy very much, but elves have to live separately when they grow up. It is impossible for them to live together forever." Egg said with a smile.
"Can't very good friends live together?" Tang asked.
"Good friends can live close to each other. It would be inconvenient if they live in the same house." said an elf.
"Yes, if the other person has a partner, it would hurt both of them if one of them leaves," Gale said. "Our Dao King likes Priest Ivy very much because he takes good care of the King. If you want to live close by, we can help build your house next to or across from Priest Ivy so that you can see him as soon as you open the door."
"Can couples live in the same house?" Tang recalled the mention of a fiancée. "What is a fiancée then?"
"A fiancée is a status before becoming a partner. It means you have agreed to spend your life together as partners," Patrick said gently. "Did Priest Ivy tell you this?"
"Can't I tell you?" Tang asked doubtfully.
"Of course not, I just didn't expect it." Patrick laughed.
"I want to live with Lin. Can I be Lin's fiancée? Or partner?" Tang said.
The surrounding elves were stunned for a moment. Gale laughed and said, "The king clearly doesn't know what a companion is. Priest Ivy raised you and is almost like your father. How can he be your companion?"
"That's not a common saying. It's not because of status, but because there should be love before a partner. Priest Ivy clearly takes care of the king like a child." Egg patted Patrick's shoulder and smiled.
"What is love?" Tang didn't understand why living together after growing up required so many conditions.
"I don't know either. This is too difficult for the elves. We should talk to Anxi. She knows the situation best." An elf said, "Wait, I'll go call her. She'll be very happy to see how big the king has grown."
The elf left in a hurry, and soon brought over a very gentle female elf. She had long light green hair and emerald green eyes, and looked as gentle as a blade of grass.
She looked at Tang with joy in her eyes: "It's great that Wang has grown up so quickly."
"An Xi, quickly tell Wang Ai what it is?" Ai Ge said from the side.
When Wang Xiao was little, he couldn't touch these things, but when he decided to grow up, he could know those things he didn't know.
"Wang has just grown up, and you want to know what love is?" An Xi asked with a smile.
"Well, I want to live with Lin, but they say that only couples can live together, and couples need love." The Elf King's logic was quite clear at this time.
"Love is something that's really hard to express in words," An Xi said gently, and the elves around him pricked up their ears. "But to be specific, when you see an elf, you want to kiss them, hug them, and when you get close to them, you feel your heartbeat quicken and your cheeks get hot. That's the most basic reaction."
