Yu Ling didn't explain how she recognized it as an elf; she just made up a story about how she pretended to have amnesia and was picked up by the elf to fool everyone.
Bip: "Wow, I didn't expect him to still have a kind heart after being treated like that by humans. But if he were really that kind, how could he be a dark elf?"
The saying "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts" applies everywhere.
Up until now, Bip has considered Yu Ling to be on his side. Naturally, he would remind Yu Ling to be extra careful and wary of that dark elf.
"Of course I know that without you telling me, but as you can see, I've been really bored lately, so I've been going shopping and eating snacks with that elf."
Yu Ling is not a real human being in any sense. When faced with a thief who treats her as a junior, her first thought is naturally how to trick him.
"So, are there any quests you can team up with for recently? You saw it yourself, that elf really values me. If you take me along, you'll have more opportunities to collect materials."
Yu Ling's words were quite tempting. For a thief, there is nothing more wonderful than guarding a treasure and being able to steal it whenever he wants.
Moreover, this blood must be obtained entirely voluntarily or without knowledge, without any resentment, in order to not disappear into thin air. The same applies to elven tears. Apart from those who have received the blessing of the elves and are being bought at high prices, the only channel for this kind of thing is through Keo, who is a "walking material kit".
"Don't you need elven blood?"
If you want the elf whose blood is being drawn to remain unaware, the frequency and amount of this kind of thing must be controlled to an extremely low level; using it on one person is already the limit.
"I think what I need more is to enrich my experiences."
Relying on her youthful appearance, Yu Ling spoke with self-righteousness.
"I'm still young, and I don't need all these things. If I want them, I'll definitely get them in the future. Since you need them now, I'll give them all to you."
That's incredibly bold, willing to hand over such a precious treasure! I wonder if this little guy will regret his decision today when he realizes how valuable elven blood is in the future.
Bip thought that a qualified thief would never refuse any opportunity to arm himself, so he acquiesced to Yu Ling's allocation (all of it was for himself).
“Alright, I’ll take you on the mission.” Bip, who was already preparing to say goodbye, fastened his mask. “So, do you have any suggestions for the journey ahead?”
That was a very tactful way of asking what Yu Ling's goals were. Otherwise, was she really just a bored thief trying to freeload off her colleague's quest? Don't be ridiculous!
Yu Ling: "I don't care what mission I do, I just want to put on a show for that elf."
Then, send this poor dark elf to the side of the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel, hoping that he can be moved and give up opposing the elf kingdom, so that the protagonist can go off and have fun without worry.
As for the system sprites still diligently working? Oh! Who cares!
He's definitely not going to take it on. His Highness the Elf Prince sacrificed himself to absorb the pollution, and his hair has turned gray. He deserves a proper reward!
...The next morning...
Kaio felt a slight pain in his chest and felt unwell when he woke up, but he couldn't find anything unusual about his body.
Yu Ling didn't give him time to think it over carefully and took him out for a walk early in the morning. While the two of them were shopping today, they ran into the members of the adventure team from before. However, they just nodded to each other politely and passed by without taking the encounter seriously.
Bipu is a man of his word. He said he would take Yulin with him on the mission, and he actually came to find them, though his manner might not have been very friendly.
—The magic hair tie that Keo was wearing, which Yu Ling had bought at great expense, was stolen.
Bipu ran, Keo chased, and Yuling followed at the back. The two fought, and even with Yuling holding back, the poor protagonist of this tragic novel couldn't beat either of them. He could only rely on his dark magic to corrupt and destroy the pure elves, making his combat power pitifully low.
However, Bip wasn't having an easy time either. After being tormented, when Keo went crazy, he was no normal person at all. He would use any means necessary, which really gave this professional thief a hard time.
Through deliberate arrangement, the two, who initially met through conflict, became close in a fairytale-like manner. Yu Ling successfully concealed herself, watching helplessly as Kai Ao was stabbed in the back by his new friend every day.
That day, Bip received a very mysterious mission. It wasn't difficult, but it was still quite novel for a thief.
The owner of a castle wanted him to steal his things.
That's right, he stole his own things, and the things were in his castle.
Bip still wore the thief's clothes he had worn when they first met, but before each trip, he would put on a robe and weld a mask onto his face.
"This mission might take a long time and the distance is quite far, so perhaps... you guys would like to come along and have some fun?"
He never invited the two of them to do a mission together; he only ever asked Yu Ling for help. So before he went out, he would invite them both to hang out near where he was doing his mission.
"Of course we should go together." Kao was much more lively than before. "It's such a far place, it must be very dangerous for you to go alone. If we go together, we can help you in some way, right?"
Bip's inner thoughts: If you just go to sleep obediently every night and let me poke you, you'll already be a great help.
"Okay, I'll tell the contact person that I'll be bringing two assistants with me. You guys can come with me and hitch a ride with Long Fei. How about it? Aren't you excited?"
Yu Ling readily complimented, "Wow, that's fantastic!"
Kaio: "The owner of that castle is indeed extraordinary. Does he have dragon knights as his subordinates?"
However.
The two fairies, who could fly on their own, weren't actually looking forward to the feeling of flying in the sky; they were more interested in the dragon.
In fairy tales, dragons are creatures that are both good and evil. Some dragons kidnap princesses who are about to be married, while others help righteous knights defeat villains. Their abilities are also diverse, including breathing fire, striking thunder, breathing wind, and even acting cute.
The creature used to pick them up this time was a fairly common fire-breathing dragon. And surprisingly, "them" included many people.
For example: thieves, adventurers, mercenaries, scholars, travelers, ordinary people with wisdom or other special skills, etc.
