Lingling, still holding the bouquet, stared blankly at the giant python that quickly walked away and Huhu who seemed to be about to cry.
Being a little overwhelmed, she looked up and asked Thor, "Uncle, why did Sheshe leave? And Huhu looks like he's about to cry."
Thor ruffled her soft hair and replied in a vague voice, "Huhu made his own choice. He chose a wider world."
Lingling still didn't understand, but looking at Thor's rather emotional expression, she opened her mouth but ultimately didn't ask any more questions.
Never mind, I'll ask Uncle Bai later. Hehe, Lingling is really smart~
Seeing that the matter was over, although Irene felt a little sad about the giant python's departure, she still said, "Let's go. We've been delayed for a long time. We should hurry on."
Thor concentrated for a moment, brushing away the chaotic emotions in his heart, and responded with a calm smile: "Yes, it's time to go."
As he spoke, he weighed the little guy in his arms, causing a small exclamation. Then he laughed twice and walked forward first.
Josiah had been standing silently by the side. Seeing that the Elf King was only concerned about Lingling again, he had no choice but to step forward, pick up the little winged tiger who was still immersed in a faint sadness, and followed him.
......
When they were about to reach the elves' territory, Thor took out a beautiful and exquisite silk handkerchief.
He turned to Irene and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the entrance to our territory is a secret of our tribe. Please blindfold yourself. We'll remove it for you after we take you inside."
Irene looked at his handkerchief and shook her head.
"I can't use yours. I can just close my eyes and cover them with leaves."
"I was inconsiderate. I'm sorry. Thank you for your cooperation." He took back the handkerchief in his hand.
She understood Thor's approach, so she agreed readily.
but.
"Come, Lingling baby, hold on to grandma's branch and I'll go in with you." Irene said gently to Lingling while blindfolding herself.
Thor didn't let Lingling blindfold herself. It was unclear whether it was because he trusted a child too much or for some other reason.
When Lingling heard this, she nodded quickly and signaled Thor to let her down.
Thor didn't stop her. If Irene didn't hold Lingling's hand, she would have to hold the two elves' hand, and both sides probably wouldn't be very willing.
Lingling carefully held Irene's hand as they moved through the woods, looking intently at the ground and ahead with a stern face, fearing that she would cause her grandmother to fall.
"Grandma, be careful~"
"Grandma, go this way."
"Grandma, please slow down~"
This short distance allowed Lingling to escape the feeling of being surrounded by danger.
When he reached the familiar wooden stake, Thor took out his life card.
His life plate is different from Josiah's. It is made of orange crystal and is engraved with mysterious and delicate patterns. It looks very beautiful.
As soon as the crystal life plate was placed on it, a golden pointed ear pattern appeared on the tree stump.
In a flash, a larger golden halo appeared in front.
It was daytime now, and the aperture wasn't as bright as the last time Lingling saw it, but it was still very obvious.
Lingling curiously stretched out her little hand that was still holding the bouquet and touched it.
Warm, just like the golden color.
Thor stood aside with a smile, waiting for Lingling to satisfy her curiosity, and was not in a hurry to go in.
The aperture opened by his life card can last for a long time, so he is not in a hurry.
The three adults waited silently like this until Lingling was curious enough and smiled shyly at Thor, then they went in together.
After they went in, the halo behind them quickly disappeared without staying for even a second.
As soon as they set foot on the elves' territory, Thor asked Irene to open her eyes.
Irene moved the obstructing leaves away and looked up, only to see lush greenery. In the distance stood an exquisite dark green castle. Between the mountains and waters sat dark grey stone houses of varying heights, a sight that made one feel relaxed and at ease.
As a tree person, Irene really likes this environment where she is one with nature.
She said to Thor cheerfully, "Where are your sick people? Let Lingling treat them quickly. If it ends soon, we might be able to go back tonight."
Thor's smile froze. Leaving tonight?
But his face remained expressionless.
"You guys go sit at Josiah's house for a while. I'm going to gather the tribesmen. I left in a hurry this morning and didn't have time to tell them to wait at the tribe's home. Some of them might not be home."
Thor gestured to Irene to look at the sky again.
"And it's almost noon after all this back and forth. Lingling must be hungry. Give me some time. I'll prepare a hearty lunch for the child. We can talk about treatment after we eat."
When he heard about having lunch, the little dumpling's bright eyes lit up.
Dadada ran up to Thor on his short legs and asked expectantly, "Anything delicious? That morning water is so delicious. Can Lingling have that?"
Thor laughed and poked Lingling's soft little face lovingly.
"That's goat milk I bought outside. It's perfect for morning drinking. Can we have something else delicious for lunch?"
Lingling nodded her head vigorously after hearing this.
As long as there’s delicious food, Lingling is not picky, hehe.
Bai Jiu, Irene: This little foodie of mine always lures people into falling in love with him by offering him delicious food.
Seeing Lingling looking forward to lunch, Irene stopped urging her.
"Then I'll trouble you, Elf King. We'll go to Josiah's house and wait for you. When you're ready, come and call us."
Thor nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, I'll go ahead then."
Before leaving, Thor avoided Irene's sight and whispered to Josiah, "Xiaoya, show them around. Lunch won't be served so quickly. Take them to more interesting places and try to get them to want to stay."
Josiah's beautiful golden eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Thor's cunning expression speechlessly, then nodded slightly.
Only then did Thor pat Josiah on the shoulder, feel happy, and leave with light steps.
Josiah put down Huhu, who had been struggling since entering the elves' territory, and walked up to Irene with his head held high.
"It might take a while, so I'll take you and Lingling to the creek to play for a while. There's silver grass in the stream over there, a specialty of our tribe. Eating it can strengthen your body. I'll pick some for Lingling so we can make soup for lunch."
Irene doesn't eat food, but only basks in the sun and drinks spiritual fluids.
"It's all right. I don't need to eat. Just prepare something Lingling likes."
Josiah felt relieved.
"Then follow me."
Then he looked at Lingling.
"Lingling, come here. I'll hold the bouquet for you first, and then I'll lead you by the hand."
He didn't have the chance to hug and hold the little guy along the way, but now that the Elf King is gone, he must seize the opportunity.
Lingling is very easy to talk to, and she has had enough of playing with the bouquet. If her brother wants to hold Lingling's hand for a walk, just let him hold her hand.
"Oh my, Lingling is so popular." The little guy was secretly happy in his heart.
Josiah didn't know that the little girl saw through his little thoughts. He led Irene and Lingling towards the stream.
Huhu: Okay, I'm redundant again, can you take a look at me? !
Lingling was chasing after the three people in front with her short legs, stumbling and panting in dissatisfaction.
