Proposal?
“I think it’s all good, there’s nothing that needs to be changed.” Looking at her bedroom, which was almost identical to the one in the manor she was living in, Alina really felt there was nothing that needed to be changed.
"Where is Ayan's bedroom?"
"His Highness's bedroom is opposite yours."
Your Highness?
Alina's first reaction was confusion, and then the Baidu Encyclopedia entry for the Imperial Marshal that she had searched for earlier appeared in her mind.
Oh right, and the boyfriend she found is the Crown Prince of the Empire.
To the elves, the royal family of the human empire was no different from wealthy nobles, and Alina didn't find them unapproachable at all.
But he couldn't help thinking about the future. If she wanted to go home, could he abandon everything here and go back with her?
She felt a little worried, but thinking that this moment was still a long way off, she suppressed it for the time being.
Next, following Chu Yanbing's instructions, the housekeeper explained the function and use of everything in the bedroom to Alina before quietly leaving, handing the space over to the two owners of the house.
"Alright, let me treat you first." Alina placed Chu Yanbing on the table in front of the sofa, and Chu Yanbing casually circled his tail in front of him.
"Today is a special day, which is understandable, but if you are not feeling well next time, you absolutely, positively must not push yourself, understand?"
Alina stared intently at the kitten that was obediently crouching in front of her.
"Meow." Okay.
The cat nodded.
Chu Yanbing obediently agreed, but worried about her health, he said "Meow, wait a minute" and quickly ran to his desk, opened a drawer, took out an electronic communicator for mimicry, and started typing "tap tap tap".
Is treating me so frequently harmful to your health?
"No, don't worry, I have a way to quickly restore magic power! It just can't be used too often, so, Ah Yan, you'll still need to maintain your disguise when you're outside~"
Chu Yanbing's gaze lingered on Alina's face for a long time before he calmly nodded: "Meow." Okay.
Looking at the points in her mind, Alina hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to exchange them for magic power to tide her over. She would then use the magic power to fully heal him once it recovered naturally.
After all, magic points are far too expensive compared to "law shielding cards".
As points were deducted, and with the dazzling white light appearing again and again, the dilapidated mental sea was patched up by an invisible force. Before long, the level of the mental sea's disturbance was no longer in the late stage of danger.
For orcs in the mid-stage of mental power surge, maintaining both human and beast forms places almost no burden on their mental sea.
So, Alina, who had truly emptied herself out this time, saw the kitten in front of her jump to her side and instantly transform into a handsome man with silver hair and blue eyes.
A cool fragrance wafted from the other person, and Alina involuntarily leaned back.
"I'd like to get that photo from today printed out and hang it on my bedroom wall, is that okay?"
photo?
A flicker of doubt crossed Alina's eyes, but she quickly realized what she meant, crossed her arms, and firmly refused: "No!"
It would be so inappropriate for others to see those kinds of photos!
"If you really like it, you can wash it, but you're not allowed to hang it on the wall!"
"Is it not allowed?" Upon hearing Alina's refusal, Chu Yanbing's usually expressionless face showed obvious disappointment.
My boyfriend is handsome with fair skin and beautiful long silver hair. At this moment, his icy eyes are filled with a watery sadness, and it's as if a pair of cat ears have appeared on his head, which is truly heartbreaking.
“No…no, you can’t,” Alina struggled to look away from her frozen gaze, firmly refusing, “It’s too obvious!”
Upon hearing this, Chu Yanbing immediately perked up, opened his personal computer, found many pictures, and directly shoved the light blue screen in front of Alina's eyes, 180 degrees without any blind spots, so that she had no way to avoid it.
"It's not obvious; everyone does it this way."
"?" Alina leaned back in shock. Are people here really this open-minded?
But that seems normal, after all, they are orcs.
For them, this is simply their nature, and they probably feel there's nothing to hide. But she isn't like that!
After shifting her gaze from the various beautiful pictures of kissing, Alina's eyes naturally fell on Chu Yanbing. Should she do as the Romans do?
"I...I think..."
Unable to withstand the other person's expectant and intense gaze, Alina's eyes began to wander after only a few seconds.
"!"
Suddenly, she noticed a keyword in the picture.
"Wedding photos! They did this after they got married!"
"Yes, that's right. So, shall we do the same after we get married?" Chu Yanbing asked casually.
Alina readily agreed: "Okay!"
...
No, she got proposed to?
That simple?
Alina was overwhelmed with mixed feelings – a mixture of amusement, frustration, shyness, and a vague sense of anticipation.
"Okay, you can leave now. I'm going to sleep!"
Some of the elves, enraged and embarrassed, told them to chase the people away.
Just as the man who had turned into a kitten was about to leave the bedroom, Alina hurriedly added, "Don't forget the person you found for me!"
"Meow." I won't forget.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yanbing left the bedroom, and the bedroom door closed automatically.
In the bedroom, Alina, who said she was going to sleep, quickly finished taking a shower, tidied herself up, and reviewed the interstellar common language. Instead of turning off her personal computer, she opened two more apps.
The pale blue light shone on the girl's focused face.
*
The sunlight was warm, the green plants swayed in the wind, and vines with small white flowers twined around the antique-style wall. A soft white light flickered on the lush green grass, as if it were probing something.
Under the white light, there was a beautiful flower fairy with pale purple, translucent wings.
"Could I have some of the phosphorus powder from the wings?"
"Withdraw your magic," Alina asked the beautiful flower fairy who had been invited by Chu Yanbing.
"Can."
Le Ziyun nodded with a smile. As long as she didn't have to deal with her phosphorus powder, the matter was easy to discuss.
Not far away, Lang Yue, who was standing next to the marshal, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Although he had clearly rejected the marshal, he was still afraid that the future marshal's wife would ask again.
The fluttering light purple wings, illuminated by the sunlight, shimmered like scattered stars, exuding a fairytale-like magnificence.
Golden and purple starlight drifted down, then Alina manipulated magical elements to collect it into a prepared jade bottle—sealing it away.
"Okay." After putting the cap back on, Alina said sincerely, "Thank you, Zi."
Although she couldn't obtain the phosphorus powder from the flower fairy when she was in love, obtaining the daily phosphorus powder from the flower fairy was a good start for her research on treating the mental turmoil of orcs.
"You're welcome. It's what I should do as a member of the flower fairies. In fact, Linlin, you're the one who worked the hardest and was the greatest!"
Chu Yanbing found a flower fairy couple willing to cooperate with Alina, but of course he told them his purpose first, otherwise they would definitely think he was crazy and a hooligan.
Even if he were the Imperial Marshal, it would be impossible for him to hire a normal person.
Even after being told the truth, Le Ziyun and the other person still couldn't accept having Alina collect phosphorus powder during that time.
The main reason is that the phosphorus powder containing healing magic is very special. Alina can only collect it using healing magic factors. Otherwise, after shedding her wings, it will either dissolve or merge with anything it encounters.
Le Ziyun said this because if Alina could find a way to treat the orc riots on a large scale among the flower fairies, then their position would be more secure when establishing diplomatic relations with the orcs.
Hearing Le Ziyun's words, Alina just smiled, after all, her willingness to make such a sacrifice was not entirely without selfish motives.
"Can you tell me about your ethnic group?"
As she asked the question, Alina led the flower fairy to sit on a small stone bench not far away.
"Sure. We flower fairies are born from the nurturing flowers that grow in our territory. Every three years, a new batch of flower fairies is born. After they are born, the flowers that nurtured them will automatically fall and become our mobile homes. As long as there is land, we can take root anywhere."
Our highest leader is the clan chief, who was born from the only peony in the clan's territory. The peony's gestation time is not bound by the three-year rule; it is random, just like our current clan chief, who was conceived 100 years ago.
The honey brewed by the clan chief is also the best quality in the entire clan.
Below the clan chief, we have six elders. The elders are elected by the clan and then appointed by the clan chief. The elders are replaced every 20 years and can be re-elected.
We pursue freedom and revere nature.
Most flower fairies are very warm and hospitable, though some are shy and prefer to stay home. You'll find out when you go to the Flower Fairy Planet!
"By the way, Linlin, when are you planning to go to the Flower Fairy Planet? If you're going soon, I can be your tour guide!" Le Ziyun, who had already retracted her wings, asked enthusiastically.
Alina certainly understood what she meant.
As exchange students sent to cultivate relationships with the orcs, the flower fairies mostly took art classes at the Imperial Military Academy in the first few batches, which happened to be during the Imperial Military Academy's summer vacation.
"Okay, it should be soon. I'll let you know once I've confirmed it. Let's add each other on WeChat."
"Uh-huh!"
The two extended their personal terminals one after the other, touched their wrists, and added each other as friends.
"Hey, Linlin." Le Ziyun suddenly glanced at the person and "cat" behind her, then pulled closer to Alina and lowered her voice, "Can you transform into a flower fairy?"
Before Alina could react, she hurriedly continued to explain, as if afraid of being misunderstood, while placing her right hand behind her waist and gesturing outwards.
"Linlin, don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to find out anything. It's just that you transformed into a flower fairy before, right? I'm saying this because you want the phosphorus powder that flower fairies use when they're in love, right? You can do it yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Alina's ears instantly turned bright red. She lowered her eyes and stammered incoherently, "I...I...I..."
On the other side, Lang Yue received a signal from his girlfriend and instantly transformed into his beast form. He lay down on the ground and whispered a long string of "woof woof" sounds to Chu Yanbing in animal language. The content of his speech was almost identical to what Le Ziyun had said.
Hearing the howling of wolves, and understanding the meaning behind their words, Chu Yanbing refrained from using his mental power to eavesdrop when he saw Alina's ears turn red.
"Oh, I see. It was inconvenient for the marshal to be in mimicry before, wasn't it? It's okay, it'll be more convenient from now on. I believe in you!"
Le Ziyun winked ambiguously and said firmly in a low voice.
