Chapter 124 Going Out Alone
The next morning, the Elf King ordered all elves to move their daily necessities back to the mother tree as soon as possible. For a period of time thereafter, they were not allowed to go out unless they rode on sparrows.
Everyone was forced to stop their previous work and busied themselves bringing the production tools left in the square and at the edge of the forest back to the trees, and placing the prepared building materials properly.
Most people went to the mines to help. After all, various elemental crystals were important supports for the elves' convenient lives. Even Mei Yang went there - he simply couldn't imagine how he would live in the future if his incinerating toilet was without fire elemental crystals and his shower was without water elemental crystals.
He and Damai led other transport sparrows and served as the main transportation force, reducing a lot of burden for the busy working adults.
As if they were deeply blessed by this land, Tansi and her friends actually dug out a mutated water element crystal from the mine - ice crystal!
It will be used as public property in the mother tree's canteen kitchen to preserve various fruits and vegetables as well as the meat and eggs of the plum tree.
Mei Yang was almost in tears at that time. He thought that after the Elf King banned him from going out, he would be forced to eat vegetarian food for a period of time. Now that he had this ice crystal stone as the energy source for the refrigerator, he insisted on pestering the Elf King to help him hunt some poultry and freeze them to eat slowly.
Mei Yang took action immediately. Taking advantage of the high praise he had received for diligently helping the adults with transportation over the past two days, on the third day, everyone returned to the mother tree to recuperate and stayed indoors. However, when the Elf King was about to go out alone to reinforce the defensive barrier, the Elf King insisted on going out with him.
"Just take me with you, I promise not to cause any trouble." Mei Yang boldly pulled the Elf King's noble sleeve to prevent him from leaving, raised three fingers and swore to the sky.
Elf King: “…”
The Elf King fell into a mysterious silence as he looked at the black claw marks left on his white cuffs by the cub's paws after eating roasted chestnuts.
"Please, please, please!" Not getting a response, Mei Yang reached out to pull his other hand.
Now, the other cuff was also covered with black coal dust.
The Elf King sighed and compromised: "Okay, let go of my sleeve first."
Mei Yang then realized that he had put a circle of black patterns on the Elf King's gorgeous white robe.
He scratched his cheek embarrassedly, and now his originally fair and cute baby face completely turned into a little cat face.
He himself hadn't noticed it at all. He looked up and said happily, "Please wait here for a moment. I'm going upstairs to get something!"
Having said that, without waiting for the Elf King to reply, he ran up the stairs with a thud.
The Elf King tried to hold back, but couldn't help himself and used cleaning magic to clean the coal dust off his sleeves.
The elves who were gathering on this floor laughed in good faith at the bold actions of the black-haired cub and the expressionless face of the Elf King.
The Elf King folded his arms across his chest, leaning against the cave entrance, wondering what he was thinking.
None of the other elves greeted him. In fact, except Mei Yang, no one in the tribe would get so close to the Elf King.
It's not that they don't want to. Every elf respects and worships the Elf King. He is the patron saint of the entire tribe, and every elf has been cared for by the Elf King when they were young.
But as they grew up and gradually understood the significance of the Elf King to the entire race, they no longer expressed their respect for him as naturally as they did when they were children.
The Elf King is like a snow-capped mountain that has never melted for thousands of years, isolated from the world, and it is difficult for ordinary elves to get close to him.
Only the human cub picked up by the Elf King, who was a little too close to his family, would cling to the Elf King like honey, sticky and sticky, to express his love.
And the Elf King actually indulged him so much.
After a while, the sound of footsteps came from above. It was Mei Yang who came back.
He ran very fast, his face was slightly red, and there were some beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. After seeing clearly what he was holding in his hand, even the Elf King couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"What are you doing with this?" the Elf King asked. "Where did you get it from?"
"Hey, I want to learn how to hunt." Mei Yang looked up and replied with a smile, "Tansy made it for me. She's very skilled."
Mei Yang carried a quiver on his back and in his hand a small bow that was almost as long as his arm. The maker had ingeniously carved some cute animal patterns on it.
Compared with the hunting bow on the Elf King's back, which was almost as tall as Mei Yang, this small bow looked like a toy - it was indeed a small toy made by Tanxi to coax her cubs.
Two days ago, Mei Yang found Tan Xi and asked hesitantly if there was anyone in the tribe who could make a bow and arrow. He wanted to ask someone to make him a set of bows and arrows so that he could learn hunting from the Elf King.
As the forest elf who is best at handicrafts, Tansi patted her chest and said that she could make a set and was willing to help Mei Yang make one. So, Mei Yang got this set of bows and arrows, which he thought were weapons but were actually just toys for the cubs.
"Not bad, it suits you very well." The Elf King commented lightly.
It is of the right size and has low lethality, making it very suitable for coaxing cubs - and it indeed coaxed the black-haired cub in front of him.
Tansy has a talent for fooling children, the Elf King thought.
Mei Yang thought this was a compliment to him and was extremely happy.
He waved the small bow in his hand and said proudly, "I can pull them all!"
The cub, which is only as tall as his chest, looks so cute with his little face tilted up and holding a toy in his hand, hoping to get praise.
The Elf King was touched by the cuteness.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he coughed again to cover it up. Then he ruffled the cub's soft black hair and said, "Let's go. I'll take you hunting."
Mei Yang nodded excitedly, and followed the Elf King out the door under the smiling eyes of the other elves.
The Elf King's luxurious robe was ultimately not able to escape the fate of being poisoned by Mei Yang's little black claws - Mei Yang was in a hurry to return to the house and forgot to wash his hands. He just hurriedly took his little bow and arrow and ran down, with his hands still covered in dust - he hung stickyly on the Elf King's body, asking him to carry him down the tree. After that, he saw the black handprints he had left on the Elf King's robe, stuck out his tongue mischievously, and grinned at the Elf King.
The Elf King didn't bother with the naughty boy. After all, Mei Yang's face was much dirtier than his robe.
The robe was dirty, so it was dirty. The Elf King didn't want to scold the child for such a small matter. Without saying anything, he called the moose Rumi and took Mei Yang into the depths of the forest.
This was the first time that Mei Yang explored the land so deeply - starting from the mother tree and walking eastward, he came to an area with low and sparse trees, where he could vaguely see a human city. The Elf King said that this was the place where the Dark Forest intersected with a human town called Sailboat Town.
From here, walking along the edge of the forest, Rumi would stop every few minutes, and then the Elf King would close his eyes slightly, and with a solemn expression, he would utter a long chant that Mei Yang could not understand, which sounded very much like English. Then, a maze would rise in this area.
The Elf King said that this was to prevent humans from exploring the Dark Forest and to prevent the mad orcs from breaking into the territory of the elves.
The whole journey felt like an outing. The little donkey... oh no, it was a big moose, strolling with the two of them in the dark forest in the dim morning light. The woods were shady and the leaves rustled, which was simply the best sleep-inducing song.
Mei Yang sat in the front, bouncing back and forth, feeling increasingly sleepy. He glanced stealthily at the Elf King who was concentrating on checking the strength of the barrier.
The Elf King didn't seem to care about him.
Mei Yang couldn't help but yawn. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, so he simply leaned back secretly and snuggled into the Elf King's arms, wanting to take a quiet nap.
"Are you sleepy?" the Elf King suddenly asked.
Mei Yang was startled and quickly explained: "I'm not sleepy, I..."
He still remembered that the reason he had to come out was to learn how to hunt.
"You can take a nap if you're tired. I'll call you after I finish patrolling this area." As he said that, the Elf King pinched the flesh on Mei Yang's cheek.
The cub hunched its back and its little head was nodding. How could he not see that the cub was sleepy?
"Oh." Mei Yang said softly.
He felt that the Elf King was really considerate. How could there be such a considerate parent?
Mei Yang was really sleepy. It was easy to feel sleepy after eating a full meal. After lunch, he pestered the Elf King to go out together. As a result, the first activity was to accompany the Elf King to patrol the territory. In the quiet forest, riding a moose, he could not resist the sleepiness.
Hearing what the Elf King said, Mei Yang used the last bit of his consciousness to hang the small bow in his arms on Rumi's antlers, then turned around and threw himself into the Elf King's arms. Like a koala, he hugged the Elf King's waist and began to doze off - since he was going to sleep, he might as well sleep thoroughly and comfortably.
She even rubbed her face against the man's upright chest muscles.
"Good night." Mei Yang said softly.
The Elf King is a super sexy daddy - this was Mei Yang's last thought before he fell asleep.
Elf King: “…”
What a willful little cub, spoiled because of his favor.
Thinking of this, the Elf King did not stop him, and even the voice of his chanting became much softer.
Occasionally, he would look down at the sleeping cub, and his eyes were so gentle that it seemed as if there was a quiet sea.
…
Mei Yang slept for several hours during this nap.
While he was sleeping, he felt an itch on his chin. He rubbed it with the back of his hand, but ended up feeling cold water stains. He suddenly woke up - he was drooling in his sleep.
Mei Yang was stunned for a few seconds. From a very close distance, he saw that there seemed to be a wet spot on the pure white, shiny silk fabric in front of him.
It was about the size of a palm, staining the white fabric into a light gray, sticking to the skin and outlining the contours of the full chest muscles.
Mei Yang: “…”
This can't be my saliva...
Mei Yang's feet were hanging in the air, and his toes were frantically scratching the soles of his shoes. His mind was a mess and he was about to cry because of his own stupidity.
Help! How can I explain why I drool in my sleep? How can I face my noble guardian?
"Awake? If you're awake, turn around. Look again, it won't kill you right away." A cello-like, magnetic and elegant voice slowly spoke above Mei Yang's head. "It's okay. I will forgive you—even if you lie on my chest and drool like a two or three-year-old cub."
