Quan Ji heard the whole story clearly and attentively, and gained some understanding of it.
What she didn't expect was that the reason why the elves went mad in her previous life was actually here.
It was not caused by powerful external factors, but by its own inherent nature that led to its destruction.
The Tree of Life is in crisis, and so should the Elves and the Whispering Woods.
But what intrigued her even more was why this elven princess named Sophia could foresee the destruction of Whispering Forest. In her previous life, although the elves had gone mad, they hadn't caused the destruction of Whispering Forest.
This is a big point of suspicion, but Kwon Ji remains in a wait-and-see attitude and does not ask.
She asked about interests; to gain the other party's true trust, there must be some connection of interests: "Since you can foresee the future, could you foresee why I came to Whispering Woods to find the elves?"
Sofitel pursed her lips, knowing full well that the other party was testing her, offering a way for her to trust and hold onto the other party.
She nodded, touching her throat with one hand, and said in a beautiful voice, "Of course I understand. The young lady's original energy is damaged, and only the life secrets of the elven race can save her. We also want to help the young lady get out of this predicament, but unfortunately... The elven secrets are a blessing from the Tree of Life to the elven race, which gives the elven race's energy a stronger vitality. Once the blockage is cleared, it will be the elven secrets recognized by the outside world."
"In other words, if the young lady wants to get what she wants, she must gain the approval of the Tree of Life. Only the Tree of Life can help the young lady."
Quan Ji was taken aback, not expecting it to be so complicated. It seemed that the two of them did not need to be involved in any conflict of interest, because their interests were aligned with the same goal.
Her gaze fell upon the surroundings of this tree-inside world, reflecting the outside world. She could clearly see that the lush forest was full of life, a beauty that could heal the soul.
This is one of the most beautiful places on the Noah Continent, and also one of the most resource-rich places. If this place is destroyed, it will prove that the Noah Continent is really about to fall apart—because the entire continent, in the final analysis, comes from Noah's body. If one place is destroyed, it is not hard to imagine the possibility that the others will be affected.
Quan Ji smiled and, holding her small hand, said, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Elf Princess."
Sofia was overjoyed, her joy evident on her face. She then extended her hand and shook hands with Quan Ji.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Miss. Regarding this cooperation, we can provide you with a map of the Elven race and information about the race that you may not know, to help you achieve our common goal."
Quan Ji nodded, but felt that the sensation in her hand was strange.
I was standing far away and couldn't see her clearly, but once I got closer, I realized that this elf princess is quite tall, and...
Quan Ji's gaze shifted downwards, staring at the two clasped hands. She noticed that the other person's hands were a whole size larger than hers, with distinct knuckles, and were extremely slender and beautiful.
You know, my hands are already considered large for a woman, but this elven princess's hands are even larger than mine, which is quite impressive—could it be that the elven royal family's genes are like this too?
Sophia seemed to notice Kwon Ji's gaze, and quickly withdrew her hand, looking at Kwon Ji apologetically.
She quickly changed the subject, "Young Miss, what are your plans next?"
Quan Ji shook her head: "I don't know."
All the elves: "?"
Quan Ji shrugged: "The news came so suddenly, how would I know what to do? Should we just rush in and kill them? I don't think Lan and I can kill your mother, let alone the entire Elf race."
Sofia: "..."
Feng Simian: "..."
Jun Chenlan: "Cough cough cough."
When Princess Quan is out in public, she still needs to be careful with her words. Saying something like "kill your mother" is not a good thing.
However, what Quan Ji said was true. The Elf race was one of the eight major races on the Noah Continent, and their population was small—meaning that each individual was a very strong being.
Furthermore, the current Elf Queen Vivian is indeed terrifyingly powerful, and since we are on her territory, even Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan combined might not be able to defeat her.
Sophia pursed her lips and said, "If possible, I hope you can spare my mother in the end. She was only thinking of our elven race and the entire Whispering Forest..."
Quan Ji raised her eyes and glanced at Sophia: "She killed too many people, including the god she imprisoned. As a human, I have no reason to let her go."
Sophia wanted to explain further: "But the humans did the same to us elves before..."
Before she could finish speaking, Quan Ji casually remarked:
"You only saw the humans hunting and hunting down the elves, but you didn't see that there were also humans who took good care of the elves when they were in trouble, keeping them at home and doing everything they could for them."
"Why should we use the blood of innocent people to atone for the sins of those who committed crimes?"
"Humans are not a weak race either. The elves are pursuing us so openly. Even if I can let them go, what about the others?"
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Whether we can win is still a question. Right now, we're both in a mess. Why don't we go into the Elven territory first and rescue the surviving humans and the imprisoned gods? That would be a great help."
"Besides, if all else fails, we can always resort to underhanded tactics..."
Everyone was stunned.
"Yin?"
Quan Ji nodded and said, "As far as I know, there is a dragon's heart buried beneath the territory of the elves. If all else fails, we can detonate the dragon's heart to summon the dragon from across the Endless Sea, Aiger, to lend a hand."
Everyone was stunned once again.
Summoning a dragon to lend a hand? That's amazing! You really dare to say that!
"But how can you be sure we'll be safe... after all, it was we who destroyed the Heart of the Dragon."
Quan Ji chuckled lightly: "You don't need to worry about that. I have my own plans. Now lead the way and take us into the territory of the Elven race."
Sophia nodded and said "okay," but in her heart she had gained a new understanding of this young lady.
So this is what the experts' different thinking is all about?
That's absolutely amazing.
As the group was about to depart, Sophia reminded them, "The elves are currently in turmoil. Should we disguise ourselves as elves and infiltrate? Making a move too early could be dangerous. I have some medicine that can temporarily allow humans to disguise themselves as elves. Would you like to try it?"
Quan Ji pondered for a moment and nodded.
"That's troublesome."
Everyone was given a pill and swallowed it.
Soon, a pair of transparent golden butterfly wings sprouted from the backs of everyone, their hair turned golden, and their eyes turned dark green.
"Alright, let's go."
