The chibi-style Ye Shang standing on the Light Shadow Sword looked so adorable.
When she landed in Lotus Leaf City, she jumped off Light Shadow, sheathed her sword, and Minghe and Qinghe also folded their transparent wings, carrying Ye Shang through Lotus Leaf City.
The buildings here are made up of large lotus leaves connected together. Some of the houses are covered with lotus flowers, while others are covered with small pieces of broken lotus leaves.
Ye Shang was a little curious, so he walked up to a building and poked a lotus leaf with his finger. Hey, it wasn't the soft, flimsy kind that would break easily as he had imagined. On the contrary, it was unusually sturdy.
Could these lotus leaves also be mutated plants? They're so tough, how did these beautiful little creatures manage to cut them down to build houses?
Minghe noticed that Ye Shang was lagging behind and tugged at Qinghe's hand: "Wait for her."
Seeing Ye Shang's curiosity about the house, they didn't have any bad intentions. On the contrary, they were happy that Ye Shang was curious about their living environment.
As Ye Shang approached, Minghe introduced the house to her, saying, "Aren't you curious about how our house was built?"
Ye Shang looked at her and nodded: "Mm."
Minghe smiled and said crisply, "The previous human was also curious, so I know you must be curious too."
Previous humans could not shrink and enter to visit; they could only look at it from the outside.
Ye Shang thought for a moment: "Did the previous humans explain how they got in?"
This is clearly not just a simple underground passage; it's obviously a small world outside the rules.
As the three walked along the streets in the city center, they discovered that many elves had flown in, each of them either hiding or sizing up Ye Shang.
Minghe led Ye Shang along, saying, "He said he also wandered in by mistake."
Ye Shang didn't ask any more questions, only saying, "This lotus leaf is incredibly sturdy, how did you build the house?"
Qinghe chuckled and raised her chin, as if to say, "You country bumpkin, you don't even know this? Let me explain, 'This is an innate ability of our race.'"
She answered readily, but didn't explain in detail how she did it.
Ye Shang didn't ask any more questions.
Minghe thought for a moment and said, "With our teeth, we can easily bite through lotus leaves and flowers, since our usual food is lotus leaves and flowers."
Ye Shang looked around at the surrounding buildings, wondering how many had been bitten.
The two little elves naturally noticed her expression, so Qinghe immediately explained, "Some of them are tools that old people grind into shape after losing their teeth, so they can be used to process lotus leaves."
Ye Shang nodded to indicate that she understood, but she still looked closely and indeed saw some places where there were teeth marks.
Just then, a female elf wearing a small crown walked over from a distance and blocked their way.
"Where are you two taking this stranger?" the Crown Elf asked.
Minghe smiled and said, "She is a human. Take her to the Grand Elder."
The Crown Elf sized up Ye Shang and nodded slightly: "Well, be careful, don't get scammed."
Minghe and the other girl nodded obediently, indicating that they understood.
After saying that, she swayed her hips and walked away.
Ye Shang gave her a strange look and asked, "Is this your queen?"
Because she was wearing a crown, Ye Shang automatically assumed she was a queen, like in the cartoons he had watched before.
Minghe looked at her strangely: "No, Crown Sister is a very nice person. She just wants to control everyone else. Besides, we don't have a Queen here, only a Grand Elder."
Ye Shang turned his head and saw the crowned female elf walk to a small stall that offered haircuts, saying, "Don't stick your stall out too far. What if a little cub running around accidentally bumps into it?"
The elf who had set up a stall nearby was a man with some gray hair. He moved his stall with a smile, saying, "Okay, sorry, I'll move it back a bit."
The crowned female elf nodded and continued forward. After a few steps, she stopped in front of an old elf selling lotus snacks. This time, however, she was a little gentler and even helped move the old woman's stall a bit further in.
"Grandma, don't go too far out. It would be a waste if it got knocked over and spilled on the ground."
The old woman, leaning on a thinly sliced lotus root, nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes, good."
The crowned elf continued walking forward, but she would stop every few steps to talk to the people next to her.
Before long, a few smaller Pokémon came running over, playfully fighting. Ye Shang watched their movements and realized that if the Crowned Pokémon hadn't warned them, these baby Pokémon might have actually bumped into them.
However, when they ran up to the Crown Fairy, she caught them. She grabbed one of them by the hand and said, "How many times have I told you not to run around like this? What if you bump into someone?"
She was holding two baby elves in her hands and teaching them.
Ye Shang watched this scene without saying anything.
Minghe said, "This is Crown Sister. She's a very nice person, but she's too controlling, which makes many baby elves a little afraid of her."
Ye Shang said calmly, "It's a good thing that a child has someone to be afraid of; the real problem is that no one can control him."
Many children in the human world are spoiled and become unruly in their early years, perhaps because they are only children or because they are boys. This leads to them being fearless and causing great trouble when they grow up.
Minghe and the other woman exchanged a smile. What they said was just like what the Grand Elder had said. Some of them went to complain to the Grand Elder, but to their surprise, the Grand Elder almost always sided with the Crown Elf.
As a result, no child dared to file a complaint afterward.
Every now and then, a round head would pop up from all around, looking at Ye Shang, simply because it was so curious.
Rows of lotus leaf houses, and round heads always peek out of the windows to look at Ye Shang.
Even the little elves who set up stalls and shops can tell.
Fortunately, we finally arrived at a simple lotus leaf house. It was a two-story building with two simple pink lotus leaves carved into the shape of two doors and inlaid on the door.
Just as Minghe and Qinghe were about to knock on the door with Ye Shang, they heard a strong voice from inside, "No need to knock, just push the door open and come in."
Minghe then pushed open the pink door.
Ye Shang followed the two inside. What came into view was a simple room, furnished with tables, benches, cabinets, and other items made of lotus leaves.
In the very center of the room, a little elf of the same kind was kneeling, but her attire was different from the other elves; she was wearing a robe made of white cloth.
Holding a stick in his hand, which was also made of wood, not lotus leaf, Ye Shang seemed to have seen a human as a high priest.
She said, "Minghe, Qinghe, you two go back first. I'll have a chat with this guest."
