'Harlanser' stood not far from her, separated by several thick tree trunks, and Baixi saw the Elven Dynasty approaching.
Even with the same face, Bai Xi would feel a moment of disorientation.
"Please, Savior, stay with the Elven race and wait for our people to overcome this crisis."
His tone was indifferent, lacking the liveliness of Nesser and the coquettishness of the forest god; he was as aloof as a complete stranger, though they had indeed known each other for only a short time.
"You've said this many times already, no need to apologize, I'm the one who needs your help."
Bai Xi looked away, her tone equally flat.
"Does the Savior like the territory of the Elves?"
The Elf King, seeing the undisguised longing in Bai Xi's eyes, asked, seemingly casually.
"You like it, right..."
A hint of confusion flashed across Bai Xi's eyes, but she quickly gave a self-deprecating laugh and said to the Elf King.
"If Your Excellency likes it, you are welcome to come here often."
The Elf King's words sounded like an invitation between ordinary friends, but for some reason, Bai Xi thought of Nesser again... He seemed to have asked her if she liked the Green Forest and if she wanted to stay.
"I guess it won't happen again, and there won't be another chance."
Bai Xi shook her head with a wry smile. She would have to return to the future sooner or later. She still had many tasks to complete, and she was going to the deep sea next. There were not many opportunities left for her to come back.
But there's no need to explain anything.
"Yeah."
The Elf King looked thoughtful before speaking to Bai Xi.
"The restoration of the Elf Mother Tree has reached its final stage. If all goes well, I can leave with you tomorrow."
He said softly.
"That's a really good thing."
Bai Xi lowered her eyes, thinking that the next step was to go to the deep sea, and she might meet a mermaid who looked just like 'Rosette'. She was actually a little excited, but there was also a trace of unspeakable unease mixed in with it.
Once her conjecture is verified and confirmed, what awaits her next?
Thinking of this, Bai Xi suddenly felt that everything in front of her had become boring. After nodding to the Elf King, she left.
The Elf King, left behind, watched Bai Xi's departing figure, lowered his eyes again, and his voice dissipated into the air.
"Savior, who are you looking at through me...?"
He touched his cheek, and finally lowered his hand.
Not everyone has the opportunity to get answers to the questions in their hearts. Right now, even if he asked, the savior probably wouldn't give him a reply.
...
The wind brushed against Bai Xi's cheeks, with the Elf King by her side.
Perhaps because he was an elf, his flying magic ability was not bad either. Although he couldn't compare to Bai Xi, he could still travel without any problem. However, Bai Xi had suggested that she cast a spell to take him with her, but she refused when she entered 'Harlansel'.
"It's faster than I expected."
Bai Xi's voice drifted on the wind into the Elf King's ears.
"The Elf Mother Tree has been successfully repaired. The damaged parts can only be repaired on their own. There's no point in me staying."
The Elf King shook his head, his tone as calm as ever.
The two chatted casually along the way, and the initial awkwardness gradually dissipated over time. As Bai Xi relaxed, she couldn't help but crack a few jokes.
"Fortunately, my identity is rather special, otherwise, if I had taken their Elf King away, they might have held a grudge against me."
The Elf King glanced sideways, his tone tinged with a hint of helplessness.
“You saved our lives. Even if you asked me to die as a sacrifice, no one would hate you, and I would do it willingly, let alone take me away.”
Although he appeared aloof on the surface, what he said left Bai Xi somewhat speechless.
"I'm not a demon or an evil sorcerer, so don't think of me like that."
Bai Xike never imagined that someone would want to be her sacrifice.
To utter such frightening words in such a calm tone... truly unlike Nesser.
"No, I didn't mean to tarnish your reputation, I was just stating a fact."
The Elf King shook his head, his gaze fixed on Bai Xi.
"Okay...I understand."
Bai Xi sighed, not really wanting to continue discussing this topic.
The two remained silent throughout the journey. When they arrived at the floating island, the Elf King's disadvantage became apparent. It was Bai Xi who used her magic to fly people up to the Angel Temple. At that time, there were already signs that the foundation of the Angel Temple was about to be built. El sat on a rock with his arms crossed. The moment he saw Bai Xi, his eyes lit up.
Before Bai Xi could even land properly, her vision blurred, and she was pulled into El's arms.
"Why are you so late! I've been waiting for you for ages!"
El's accusations sounded like a young wife complaining about her dead husband. Bai Xi's heart trembled when she heard it, but she felt more embarrassed, since there were two pairs of eyes watching, especially the one behind her.
He seemed to want to say something more, to express his longing to Baixi, but Baixi interrupted him without hesitation.
"Stop, stop, stop! I was only gone for a little over half a month. Elemental spirits have almost infinite lifespans, so that's not much time for you either..."
Bai Xi complained helplessly.
"You don't understand! Everyone says that you shouldn't separate during the honeymoon phase, it hurts the relationship. You're not allowed to leave me behind next time!"
El shook his head like a rattle-drum, showing none of the archangel's aloofness or coldness, nor the rebelliousness he displayed in his youth.
"...This is a bit difficult. I will bring back many more people in the future. You can't be so willful."
Bai Xi blurted out the words, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that something was not quite right.
This sounds more and more like the words of a scumbag. He's having affairs while keeping his wife at home, and he even expects her to help him keep an eye on his mistress!
Bai Xi was startled by her own inexplicable thoughts, feeling like she had gone mad.
She quickly shook her head, trying to dispel the strange thought.
"...."
El was indeed a little unhappy with her words. After glancing at the Elf King standing behind Bai Xi, his face darkened even more, but he still reluctantly agreed.
"Since you haven't finished your work yet, I'll help you out for now."
No matter what, Bai Xi could never have imagined that the human-machine archangel would turn into a proud and clingy puppy after falling in love.
Thank you.
Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and as she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of the Elf King, 'Haranther,' looking at the temple in front of her with a somewhat subtle expression.
"The building you asked me to sculpt is this big."
He asked.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Xi was taken aback.
"This will take a lot of time, it seems I will indeed have to stay here for a while."
He said.
